The next day, Chen Bing woke up feeling refreshed, having worked an extra hour or two compared to usual. After washing up and going downstairs, he saw Liu Yue busy in the kitchen.
Just then, Chen Shichao lazily walked out of his room. When he saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he scratched his head in confusion and counted the days.
"What's going on today? Why is breakfast taking so much effort?"
"Today is our son's high school entrance exam! How could you not even remember that?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shichao looked at Chen Bing in shock and asked, "Aren't you in the second year of junior high?!"
I was born on December 31, 2004.
After saying this without a word, Chen Bing went to the kitchen and enjoyed the limited-edition breakfast under Liu Yue's gentle smile and service. Chen Shichao, who stayed behind, was counting on his fingers, and after a long time, he simply gave up and sat down at the table as well.
Although he was furious to see his wife so attentively serving another man, Chen Shichao ultimately held back, considering the special occasion. He even put aside all his grievances and unexpectedly took the initiative to show concern and care for Chen Bing.
Under such imperial treatment, the mealtime passed quickly, and the clock on the wall had only just pointed to a little past seven o'clock, with a long time to go before the Chinese exam that was scheduled to start at nine o'clock.
With nothing else to do, Chen Bing returned to his room and studied for a while. Just after eight o'clock, the adorable Shang Yunmiao peeked out to ask him to go to the exam together. Her charming appearance was exactly the same as it had been ten years ago when she came to ask Chen Bing to go out and play.
Following closely behind little Shang Yunmiao were two mothers.
Chen Bing glanced at the alarm clock on her desk and knew it was almost time, so she got up and left home with them.
It's definitely convenient that the two families live close by; it makes everything much easier. For example, today we could easily team up to take our kids to their exams.
On the way to and from the destination, both parents and children had someone to talk to.
Sitting in the back of the car, Chen Bing first glanced at Shang Yunmiao, who was leaning on his shoulder to study, then looked at the two parents chatting in the front row. Finally, without saying anything, he gently nudged Shang Yunmiao with his head and said with a smile, "Good luck later."
Xiao Shang smiled in the same way and replied, "Okay."
When getting off the bus and entering the examination center, nothing but stationery was allowed in the examination room. Since the first exam was Chinese, Chen Bing had nothing but two ballpoint pens, a 2B pencil, an eraser, and some documents related to the exam and epidemic prevention.
That sounds like a lot, right? And it really is. So Chen Bing also prepared an extra transparent pencil case to put all the above items inside.
After escorting Xiao Shang to her exam room, the two huddled by the window to double-check that she hadn't forgotten anything. Once everything was confirmed, he stayed with her for a little while longer. If Shang Yunmiao hadn't been worried he'd be late and wouldn't be able to find his exam room, thus delaying his exam and urging him to leave, Chen Bing really wanted to stay with her until she entered the exam room.
Whether we get along or not is secondary; the main thing is that we want to study together.
Without saying much, Chen Bing waved goodbye and walked towards her exam room.
As Chen Bing walked along, he observed that everything in the examination room was largely similar to the biology and geography exam a year ago, except that the weather was hotter, everyone was wearing masks, and they all looked more nervous than a year ago. In fact, there was no difference.
Under stricter security checks, the blond guy was still blond guy, and he was still wearing loafers; the only difference was that he no longer had cigarettes and couldn't bring his phone in.
Besides these minor changes, Chen Bing also noticed that the students' school uniform wearing rate was very low. Generally speaking, it was considered good if one or two out of ten students wore summer school uniforms. What's even more outrageous is that some people not only didn't wear school uniforms, but they didn't even want to wear regular clothes.
In just a few dozen meters, Chen Bing noticed two girls wearing JK uniforms and one wearing a pink Lolita dress. Not to mention the girls wearing shorts and skirts; the high school entrance exam seemed to have become a platform for them to unleash their true nature, with clothes they wouldn't normally see at school suddenly appearing all at once.
These girls seemed to have planned it all out, intending to interfere with other test takers' answers in this way.
Tsk tsk, really, do they even look like they're here for an exam?
With Xiao Shang not around, Chen Bing gave them a few critical and fierce looks, and began to consider the feasibility of buying Shang Yunmiao a Lolita outfit after the high school entrance exam. After a couple of moments of daydreaming to relax, Chen Bing refocused her attention and stood at the entrance of the exam hall, silently reviewing the key points.
His deep, handsome, and intelligent figure attracted many passing students. For example, at least seven or eight people from the school came over to greet him, and two even jokingly shook his hand, saying they wanted to absorb the aura of the academic genius so they could get good grades later.
These actions naturally caught the attention of others and caused Chen Bing some minor setbacks.
Remember the girl in the pink Lolita dress I mentioned earlier? Just as Chen Bing was concentrating on his studies, she quietly approached him and tapped his waist.
"Um... classmate."
Turning around, Chen Bing recognized the girl he had just criticized. Looking closer, he found her to be quite cute, almost a tenth as cute as Shang Yunmiao.
Chen Bing took a half-step back quite naturally and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Um... are you also in exam room number 58? Can I see your seat number?" The girl waved her admission ticket in her hand, then timidly pointed to the admission ticket in Chen Bing's pencil case.
After having a general idea of the other party's purpose, Chen Bing didn't say anything and simply showed the other party her admission ticket.
Anyway, with so many seats in an exam room, and seeing that her two seats weren't next to each other, there was no possibility of cheating, so she would naturally leave obediently.
Coincidentally, the Lolita girl showed a surprised expression after seeing Chen Bing's exam admission ticket.
Then, she took a small step closer to Chen Bing and whispered, "My seat is right to your left." After that, she put on a very sincere yet shy and cute expression and asked, "Um... classmate, can we help each other during the exam? Don't worry, it's mutual help. I'm pretty good at history, I usually get over 40 points, so you can copy from me."
Looking at the shy yet beautiful face of the girl before him, and recalling her Lolita-esque image, Chen Bing was immediately taken aback. He had just been criticizing the girl in his mind for dressing so gaudyly, not at all like someone who was there for an exam, but it turned out that she was actually dressed like that for an exam.
