"Go take a look? How? By sneaking around?" Gangzi asked.
As Ji Yanjun turned the steering wheel, he looked behind him in the rearview mirror and replied, "Hmm."
"Why do you have to do it secretly?" Gangzi asked, puzzled.
"She has her college entrance exam the day after tomorrow."
"What does this have to do with anything?"
"She gets upset when she sees me now, which is affecting her exams."
"Damn, why did we rush back like that? I almost lost my life. Let's wait until she finishes her exams and comes back."
Ji Yanjun turned to look at Gangzi, who immediately slapped his mouth shut: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Ji Yanjun kept his eyes on the road ahead, stepped on the gas, and the car drove smoothly forward. The two left Wangcheng County to go see Wen Qing.
Wen Qing had just left the home of her class teacher, Mr. Zhao. In addition to asking her about some review matters, Mr. Zhao also talked to her about exam schedules, mindset, and other related issues.
Wen Qing wrote them all down.
After leaving Teacher Zhao's house, Wen Qing went to a stationery store and bought some stationery. Then she went to the market and bought some vegetables to put in the refrigerator for the next two days.
Then carry it towards the green garden.
It was still hot, and her face was flushed from the heat, but she didn't feel too bad. When she entered the Green Garden, she felt someone was watching her. She turned her head but didn't see anyone, so she continued walking with the groceries in her arms.
As Wen Qing walked, she thought to herself that now that she was so rich and famous, she shouldn't be walking or riding a bicycle; it would be too undignified. She had already bought a car, and although she could drive, she didn't have a driver's license. She just needed to hold on for five more days, and then she could learn to drive and get her license.
In addition, she needed to hire two bodyguards to protect her. Now that she was so rich, she had to protect herself. She smiled to herself as she thought about it, and suddenly remembered how she had been so self-absorbed when she named "Feng Qing".
A short while later, she arrived at Unit 4. She looked back again, but still saw no one. So she went into the building, took out her key, entered her apartment, called Yao Shiling to let her know she was safe, then took a shower, turned on the desk fan, and sat down to read.
Just then, the phone rang; it was Shi Lei calling.
She smiled and asked, "What's the matter calling at this hour?"
"I...I'm just cheering you on. Let's do our best on the exam."
"Okay." Wen Qing smiled: "Don't stay at the store, hurry back and study. Don't do worse than me on the exam, or you'll be so embarrassed."
Shi Lei chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll definitely surpass you."
Wen Qing smiled and said, "Then let's give it a try."
"Okay, Wen Qing, you need to get some rest," Shi Lei said from the other end of the line.
"The same to you."
"Okay, I'll hang up now."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qing smiled faintly. The college entrance examination was just two days away. After the exam, which would be five days later, she needed to talk to Shi Lei. In addition, she also needed to sort out her Feng Qing. Thinking about this, she realized that she would be even busier after the college entrance examination.
Wen Qing decided to stop thinking about it and immediately started preparing for the exam.
Wen Qing didn't go out for two days in a row, which made Ji Yanjun, who was standing downstairs, worry that something might have happened to her. It wasn't until noon, when she was making noodles and cooking in the kitchen, and until evening when the dim light of her apartment was on, that he felt relieved to see her through the window.
Ji Yanjun waited for two days. On the third day, he watched Wen Qing carrying a checkered cloth bag, checking her stationery and admission ticket as she walked to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. Then he slowly followed her to Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.
Every year, the college entrance examination in Nanzhou is held by drawing lots to determine which high schools will be selected for the exam. This time, several schools, including Nanzhou No. 1 High School and Nanzhou No. 3 High School, have been selected.
Wen Qing and Shi Lei both belong to the liberal arts category, so it was natural that they were both assigned to take the exam at Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.
At this moment, the area in front of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School was filled with students waiting for the exam, but the school had not yet opened before the time was up. Some students gathered together and discussed the questions, their attitudes, or their nervousness in hushed tones.
Compared to the 21st century when parents accompany their children to school and exams, there are hardly any parents to be seen in front of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School at this moment; it's mostly the students who come on their own.
"Wen Qing, Wen Qing!"
As soon as Wen Qing appeared, Shi Lei waved repeatedly.
Wen Qing walked up with a smile.
Because Wen Qing skipped a grade in her second year of high school to take the college entrance exam, none of the people in the group were her classmates. To be precise, she didn't know anyone except Shi Lei.
"Shi Lei, you're here so early," Wen Qing said.
Shi Lei laughed and said, "It's not early, you're just too good at timing."
As soon as Shi Lei finished speaking, a classmate next to him, seeing that Wen Qing was pretty, wanted to get to know her and asked, "Shi Lei, who is this? She looks so stylish." Every piece of clothing Wen Qing wore was carefully edited by herself. She was a student now and didn't want to be unconventional, but she also didn't want to be too rigid. So her clothes were generally similar to those of other students at the time, but upon closer inspection, they were full of thoughtful details and looked better and better the more you looked at them.
"Me, my friend, Wen Qing," Shi Lei introduced shyly.
Shi Lei's shyness made his classmates guess pretty much what was going on. Among them, two or three were married with children before taking the college entrance exam, so they understood Shi Lei's reaction even better. Wen Qing, on the other hand, was very calm, which made them think that this girl was really composed.
At this moment, a female classmate from a relatively well-off family with a television at home muttered to herself, "Huh, Wen Qing? She looks so familiar, and her name sounds familiar too, but I can't quite place her."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qing was startled. Not wanting to cause a commotion here, she turned to look at the campus and said, "The gate is open."
This was undoubtedly the most anticipated sentence for all the students waiting for the exam. Everyone looked towards the door, and sure enough, the gate of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School was opened with a creak. The students rushed in, and the girl from before no longer cared about who Wen Qing was. She said, "The door is open," and then squeezed into the school.
Shi Lei didn't squeeze in, but walked up to Wen Qing and asked, "Wen Qing, which exam room are you in? I'll help you find it."
“305,” Wen Qing said.
Shi Lei said, "I'm from 316. Come on, I'll help you find it first." With that, Shi Lei and Wen Qing walked side by side toward Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School.
The two chatted and laughed, with Shi Lei occasionally asking Wen Qing if she had brought her pen and preparation certificate.
Wen Qing answered with a smile.
Not far away, Ji Yanjun saw this scene and felt a pang of sadness. He first stood, then squatted by the roadside, then stood up again and walked towards the gate of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School. Standing at the gate, he lit a cigarette and watched Shi Lei chatting and laughing as he led Wen Qing to the examination room.
Ji Yanjun didn't even dare to show himself in front of Wen Qing. It wasn't until Shi Lei found the examination room for Wen Qing that he hurriedly ran back to the simple map of the examination room to check the location of his own examination room, and then ran back to his own examination room. Ji Yanjun's temper grew stronger and stronger.
His anger stemmed from the fact that this young man was being so kind to Wen Qing, making him feel like a piece of coal dust. Another, deeper thought was that he wanted someone to be incredibly kind to Wen Qing, but he hoped that person wouldn't be someone else, but himself.
But no, it's this young punk in front of me.
Ji Yanjun felt distressed and smoked with extra force. He inhaled a puff of smoke into his throat, forgot to exhale, and choked himself.
Ji Yanjun immediately began to cough violently, his throat burning and his eyes turning red.
"Damn it!" Ji Yanjun cursed fiercely, threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, and stomped on it hard. After stomping it, he remembered that this was Wen Qing's school, so he bent down to pick it up and threw it into the trash can next to him, coughing incessantly as he did so.
Before his coughing subsided, the school's manual bell rang. Ji Yanjun turned to look around the campus; two proctors had appeared in each classroom, one of them holding a piece of paper with instructions. "Cheating is strictly prohibited. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified from the exam..."
The proctor read aloud from the stage, and the students sat in their seats listening. Many students were taking deep breaths nervously, while Wen Qing remained calm and composed, both physically and mentally prepared, and was just waiting for the test papers to be distributed.
After the invigilators completed all the procedures, they began distributing the exam papers. The exam time had just arrived, and the exam began.
Meanwhile, Yao Shiling and Wen Peng were shopping for vegetables at the Wangcheng County market.
Yao Shiling said, "Wenpeng, your eldest sister should have started her college entrance exams by now, right?"
"Okay, let's begin," Wen Peng said, carrying a shopping basket.
"I don't know if she's nervous or not. I saw on TV yesterday that some students fainted in the exam room last year because they were too nervous."
"Mom, my older sister can't do it. She's incredibly capable. She doesn't know anything." Wen Peng's favorite and most admired person is Wen Qing. He has a kind of confidence that "my older sister is the most amazing person in the world."
Yao Shiling smiled and looked up, wondering what vegetables to buy, when she unfortunately ran into Liang Wenhua and Ji Ningzhi.
In the morning, Ji Yousheng said that the factory had given out some money and asked Liang Wenhua to buy some wheat flour to mix with coarse flour. So Liang Wenhua and Ji Ningzhi came over, thinking that they might be able to buy some cheap vegetables in case Ji Yanjun came back in the evening and they wanted to cook something nice for him. Unexpectedly, they ran into Yao Shiling and Wen Peng.
Although Liang Wenhua no longer had the arrogance of before, he still retained some of his former pride, ignoring Yao Shiling and Wen Peng as he walked past them.
Yao Shiling didn't say anything, and pulled Wen Peng away.
After Liang Wenhua walked away, he said indignantly, "You used to smile at me when you saw me, but now that you have money, you look down on me like that!"
Ji Ningzhi lowered her head and said, "Mom, she didn't do anything to us, why are you criticizing her?"
"What's wrong with me? Can't I even say anything about her?"
Ji Ningzhi whispered, "Why are you talking about her? Her family even saved my brother's life."
Liang Wenhua turned to Ji Ningzhi in surprise and asked, "Ningzhi, what's wrong?"
Ji Ningzhi lowered her head: "Let's go home, we don't have any money to buy groceries anyway." With that, Ji Ningzhi left ahead of time.
Liang Wenhua called from behind, "Ningzhi, Ningzhi..."
Ji Ningzhi has left the vegetable market.
Yao Shiling and Wen Peng also came out of the market a little while later. The mother and son went to Fengqing Garment Factory to take a look. Wen Liang was discussing various clothing-related matters with Master Yan.
Yao Shiling and Wen Peng chatted idly for a while, and only after Wen Liang finished speaking did the family of three walk towards the dirt road. "Second brother, you've gone astray! You don't do your summer homework anymore. You're always either talking to the team leader about shoes or talking to Master Yan about clothes. You even went to ride in Big Sister's truck!" Wen Peng looked like he had caught Wen Liang not studying.
“Wen Liang finished his summer homework a long time ago,” Yao Shiling said.
"So fast." Wen Peng was surprised. He felt extremely guilty, as he hadn't even started his summer homework yet.
Wen Liang ignored him, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's so hot. My sister should have finished her first exam by now, right?"
"That's about it," Yao Shiling said.
It was indeed the end of the first exam. The sun was high in the sky, and Wen Qing was feeling a bit hot. As soon as she came out of the exam room, everyone was comparing answers. Shi Lei ran over to her and asked, "Wen Qing, how did your exam go?"
Wen Qing felt unwell, both physically and mentally, and her stomach ached a little.
"Wen Qing, what's wrong?" Shi Lei asked quickly when he saw Wen Qing's expression. "Are you too nervous about the exam?"
"No, I need to go to the bathroom," Wen Qing said with a smile, secretly thinking that her period might be about to start.
