Thinking of all this, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but slap her own head. Why was she worrying about this? Let Zhao Xiaolan decide this matter herself after she recovers!
After the meal, Liu Zhengfeng cleared the table for the group to study on.
“I haven’t seen you study properly these days. Hurry up and ask them about anything you don’t understand!” Liu Zhengfeng shook his head as he looked at her blank high school textbooks.
Liu Ying's mother passed away before she even started high school, and Liu Zhengfeng was too busy with work. If it weren't for her own hard work, she wouldn't have been able to get into high school.
I attended a regular high school and my grades were average, but after two years of neglecting my studies, it won't be easy to pick them up again.
Lin Xiaocui quickly put her arm around her shoulder and encouraged her, "It's okay, I just graduated, so I might be a little more familiar with things than you. Actually, the textbooks aren't the most important thing. Why don't you do these practice tests?"
The test paper was the same one Lu Wanqing had prepared, and Lin Xiaocui and Luo Chunlei both agreed that it was the best way to improve grades.
While the other children were studying, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye didn't sit idle either; they picked up their study materials and started looking at them.
Even last-minute cramming can be effective. Tomorrow's first subject is math, and if I can guess a few of the tough questions correctly, a high score is guaranteed.
After finishing the test and reading the book, the group each guessed a few challenging math problems, wanting to see who would be the master of prophecy tomorrow.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock, when it was completely dark outside, that the group packed up their books and said goodbye.
The exams went smoothly on the second day, especially the first subject, math. The last few challenging questions were almost exactly the same as what Lu Wanqing had predicted, so everyone's scores should be quite high. The afternoon's Chinese exam, especially the final essay topic, was also something we had practiced writing before; except for Liu Ying, everyone else should have done well.
The second day's morning session was on politics, and the afternoon session was a combined physics and chemistry exam.
For Lin Ye and his friends, politics is the most difficult thing to grasp. As long as the politics don't go wrong, the afternoon's materialization will be a piece of cake.
After finishing the political exam, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The questions were all ones he had practiced, and they weren't too difficult. Everyone should have done well.
He found Lu Wanqing and was about to meet up with the others at the school gate when he noticed Lin Chunhua holding Zhao Xiaolan's hand, looking into the school through the crowd, probably looking for him.
"Sister, what brings you here?" Lin Ye rushed forward, asking with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Lin Chunhua said with a bitter face, "Mom insisted on coming, and I couldn't persuade her otherwise, so I brought her here on my bike. Is this the last one left?"
Lin Ye nodded without blaming her, "Then let's wait for Xiao Cui and go eat together!"
At this moment, Zhao Xiaolan had already taken Lu Wanqing's hand and was using her other hand to stroke her belly, as if she missed her terribly after just one day apart.
After a while, Lin Xiaocui and her group arrived, with Liu Ying following behind.
Upon hearing that Elaine Chao was coming, Liu Ying insisted on inviting everyone to her home for dinner.
"The exam doesn't start until 2:30 this afternoon, there's still plenty of time, why don't you come to my house for lunch!"
Lin Ye asked Zhao Xiaolan for her opinion, and her face flushed slightly. "Okay, okay."
When Liu Zhengfeng saw Liu Ying bringing everyone over again, his crow's feet crinkled into a smile. "Please come in, I've been your personal cook these past few days!"
As the group filed in, his gaze finally fell on Zhao Xiaolan. His smile froze for a moment, and a look of surprise and embarrassment flashed across his eyes.
However, he quickly covered it up and went into the kitchen with a spatula.
His mind went blank for a moment; the recipe he had carefully designed was now a bit chaotic and disorganized.
"Dad, is there enough food? Do you need my help?" Liu Ying asked quickly when she saw that he seemed a little flustered.
Liu Zhengfeng wiped his hands with his apron. "Oh dear, don't make things worse for me."
Liu Ying pouted and was about to leave when he called her back, "There's still time, go buy a fish."
Elaine Chao seemed to really enjoy the steamed sea bass he made last time; if you go buy some now, you can still cook it in time.
Seeing the busy father and daughter, Lu Wanqing quickly called Xiao Cui to help in the kitchen. The rest of the people gathered together to discuss the college entrance examination questions.
An hour later, a sumptuous lunch was ready, and everyone helped serve the dishes and rice, eating with great joy.
During the meal, Liu Zhengfeng found an empty bowl, put several pieces of fish in it, patiently removed all the bones, and then served it to Zhao Xiaolan.
"Eat it, it has no thorns and won't get stuck in your throat."
Zhao Xiaolan's still-charming face flushed red. "The fish is delicious. Get me some more."
Everyone tried to suppress their laughter. He really wasn't being polite. But why wasn't Liu Zhengfeng angry? He even looked like he was enjoying it.
Lin Ye, not to be outdone, picked up a piece of fish for Lu Wanqing with his chopsticks and carefully removed the bones.
Lin Xiaocui is shrewd. Last time Liu Zhengfeng was making a fuss about drinking at dinner, so why is he so reserved now?
He even fawned over Elaine Chao, so he must have feelings for her!
Just as she was chuckling to herself, Wang Xu, who was standing next to her, said casually, "That plate of fish is a bit far away, do you want me to get it for you?"
He's tall and has long arms, so he's afraid Lin Xiaocui won't be able to grab him.
Lin Xiaocui glared at him, "Who do you think you are? You're just a little taller than me!"
Wang Xu glared back at her, "Fine, don't take it."
Lin Xiaocui snorted and was about to get up to pick up the fish when a pair of serving chopsticks had already placed the fish in her bowl.
"The fish is in high demand today; you'll miss out if you're late," Luo Chunlei said in a deep voice. He had clearly noticed that one person was trying to curry favor with the other, while the other was showing off their affection.
Lin Xiaocui picked up a fish, put it in her mouth, and gave Wang Xu a smug look.
Seeing their interactions in private, Liu Ying was filled with envy. Lin Xiaocui was really likable; two big boys were both swooning over her.
