"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go take your exam, baby. From now on, I won't be able to walk with you anymore."
After nodding twice with a "hmm," Shang Yunmiao smiled sweetly, carrying Chen Bing's blessing, and waved her little hand before turning to say goodbye to Chen Bing.
Although they were saying goodbye, they would still turn around and glance at each other from time to time while they could still see each other.
And so, the distance between the two grew further and further until, at a certain corner, they completely disappeared from each other's sight.
Just as Chen Bing just said, he will no longer be able to travel with Shang Yunmiao.
However, Shang Yunmiao is already twenty-one, a grown-up. She no longer needs to be like she was when she was little, foolishly following Chen Bing around in everything.
In the journey ahead, there will be many more things like this that she will have to face alone, and she will grow up completely in the process.
To be fair, the Jiang Kai Award, established by a leading figure in Chinese criminal law, is indeed quite prestigious and challenging to obtain.
Although Chen Bing's legal skills are not exceptionally good, he can still achieve high scores on exams like the bar exam.
Even so, he still found it very difficult to do the questions, and in the end he didn't even have time to check the paper, barely managing to finish all the questions.
Without checking, there is a high probability of making mistakes on some questions, making it less likely to get full marks.
However, none of these things concerned Chen Bing, because high or low scores would not prevent him from winning the award. His only worry was whether Xiao Shang had done well on the exam.
The answer to this question was quickly revealed to Chen Bing. At the entrance of the examination hall, Chen Bing, who was looking around waiting for Shang Yunmiao, saw the little girl walking towards him in a daze.
Reaching out, Chen Bing took the small hand that Shang Yunmiao offered.
After all, there was another half of the exam in the afternoon, so Chen Bing was conflicted, wondering whether she should ask the little girl how the exam went.
Just as he was fretting, Shang Yunmiao suddenly grinned mischievously, and before he could react, she jumped up and grabbed his hand.
"Wow! How about that? Did I fool you?" Shang Yunmiao hugged Chen Bing's arm with both hands, tilted her head back, and asked him triumphantly.
Now, Chen Bing could easily guess that the young merchant had been deliberately playing a trick on him. His heart immediately settled, and a doting smile spread across his face.
"You little rascal, how dare you play me! You made me so worried!"
"Hehe, I'm so happy~ Chen Bing, let me tell you, I'm so lucky! I was really worried when I realized I couldn't do the fourth multiple-choice question, but I got more and more comfortable as I went on, especially the last two essay questions. I just happened to have memorized them when I was reviewing yesterday, so I'm sure I'll do well on this exam!"
As Xiao Shang proudly said this, Chen Bing learned from her subsequent introduction that the girl could answer almost every question except for a few minor ones.
This performance was quite different from her usual abilities, to the point that Chen Bing suspected she was lying and trying to fool him.
Shaking his head to dismiss the thought, Chen Bing raised his other hand and patted Shang Yunmiao's head, praising her repeatedly.
This encouraging gesture made Shang Yunmiao even happier, and she kept saying that she would continue to study when she got back.
