She received a call from Chu Shi within a short while. “Xiao Yin, your brother looked around. The hotels close to the test centers were full. Don’t worry, I will go to the nearest one to see if there are any available rooms.”
Chu Shi didn’t take the college entrance examination. He didn’t know that he had to book a room. Gu Qiuze had to send a text message to remind him.
Chu Yin: “No need, brother,”
But Chu Shi had already hung up and went to the hotel.
Chu Shi was about to get inside the hotel lobby when someone suddenly called him on the side of the road.
Turning around, Lu Zhen leaned on the black Maybach. His eyes were raised as he said, “This hotel is full.”
Chu Shi frowned, “Mr. Lu also wants to book a room?”
He heard that Lu Zhen had been busy recently. Did he still have to take the college entrance examination?
Lu Zhen shook his head, took out a black and gold room card from his trouser pocket, and handed it over.
“Fuck.” Chu Shi said, “Are you insulting me?!”
Giving him a room card? What did he mean?!
He remained silent for several seconds before asking, “Big brother-in-law, are you stupid?”
Chu Shi subconsciously wanted to curse back but noticed there was something wrong with how he called him.
“This is for Yin Yin? No, who the fuck is your brother-in-law?!”
Lu Zhen was too lazy to talk to him. He waved his hand and asked his assistant to pass the room card to Chu Shi’s hand.
Chu Shi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. This hotel was facing the test center and was the best location closest to the examination room. The room number Lu Zhen booked was the best one in the hotel.
He couldn’t book this kind of room for his sister, but Lu Zhen could.
Chu Shi was a little bit sour. “Mr. Lu is really rich and powerful, enough to give his suite.”
Lu Zhen turned around and pulled the car door. He smiled lightly when he heard this sentence.
“No, I booked it three weeks ago.”
This suite had been waiting for Chu Yin for 20 days.
Ten minutes later, Chu Shi called Chu Yin’s phone.
He asked the hotel if he could book a room. He was notified that even if he tripled the money, he couldn’t get the room. He had to pinch his nose and accept the room card Lu Zhen gave. He couldn’t delay his younger sister’s college entrance exam.
“The hotel room is right across from the testing center. I have seen it. The soundproofing is very good. You can have a good rest.” Chu Shi paused and said reluctantly, “–Lu Zhen booked it.”
Chu Yin was slightly taken aback.
Chu Shi said, “Although Lu Zhen is not good, he is interested and devoted to you…”
Chu Yin thought for a while and asked him, “Brother, did Lu Zhen say anything?”
Chu Shi said, “Ah? Oh, he said he will let you live freely with no hardships. This is to hug your golden thigh.”
Chu Yin’s eyelashes fluttered, and then laughed silently.
“Hugging your thigh? Yin Yin, does he have any intentions against you?”
“No,” Chu Yin said with a smile, “He’s correct.”
Since there was a room, she didn’t need to be stubborn.
Her brother had given her the room key in advance. Chu Yin got on the elevator. Her room was at the end of the top floor. There were only two rooms at the end. She checked the number and entered the one on the right.
This should be the largest room in the hotel, a small suite. There was a large desk in the room, and a bay window was made on the opposite side of the big bed.
Chu Yin looked around and stopped by the desk.
[Find me for anything that you need]-behind it was a series of phone numbers.
She was familiar with the font.
It was Lu Zhen’s handwriting.
She put down her school bag and pressed the paper under the pencil case.
Then she took out her notes and started to review as she planned.
The next day, outside the test center, there was a huge crowd.
Chu Yin was extremely thankful that she didn’t have anyone to accompany her. It was easier for her to calm down on her own.
She ran into Song Zhaolin outside the examination room. He looked so nervous that he was about to pee.
“Sister Yin!! uwuwu!” He rushed to her as soon as he saw Chu Yin.
Although he didn’t have high expectations for his exam, he was still very nervous.
However, Song Zhaolin knew that Chu Yin’s grades were much more important than him, so even if he was nervous, he did not dare to influence her.
“Sister Yin! This year’s exam result is yours!”
Their examination rooms were both on the third floor.
Chu Yin looked at Song Zhaolin’s nervous expression as if he was about to die. She remembered the first day she transferred to the school when she became deskmates with him.
It was a long time ago. Time flies so fast.
“Lin Lin.” Chu Yin called him as she took a spare eraser from her bag to him.
“I bless you. Don’t be afraid.”
Song Zhaolin almost cried.
He held Chu Yin’s rubber eraser tightly. His confidence soaring. “Okay!!”
There were identity and security checks.
She entered the classroom and sat down.
At 9 o’clock, the language test officially began.
Chu Yin took a deep breath,m. And when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were calm and firm.
For two and a half hours, the classroom was full of swish sounds of papers.
Chu Yin was immersed in the exam. She couldn’t hear other voices.
After smoothly writing an essay, Chu Yin gently put down her pen.
There were fifteen minutes left.
The people around were still writing essays, but Chu Yin had already reviewed back to the first page and carefully checked it from beginning to end.
When the bell rang, Chu Yin was in a good mood.
The language exam was stable. It was a good start.
At noon, the advantage of being close to the test center became apparent.
The whole street was blocked. There were parents of students who were anxious.
Chu Yin bypassed the crowd and walked into the hotel.
When she returned to her room, lunch was already prepared.
She looked down. The dishes on the table were all her favorites.
…Someone was trying hard to hug her thighs.
But she had to admit that this level of service saved her an hour of rest.
After Chu Yin finished her meal, she reviewed the two-page formula, and then set the alarm clock and slept.
In the afternoon, she went to take the math test with full energy.
This was the top priority among the four subjects.
If she wanted to be the champion, mathematics was the best subject in liberal arts.
The examination room in the afternoon was more serious than in the morning. For most liberal arts students, mathematics was a terrifying subject.
When the test paper arrived, Chu Yin’s heart beat faster.
She steadied her mind and then immersed herself in the test questions.
Most of the questions were like cutting melons for her. Only the last question made it hard to answer. She was stuck.
Chu Yin could guarantee that the correct rate of this question would not exceed 1%.
She finished the whole paper and still had more than ten minutes to review.
Chu Yin checked back and forth to make sure that the other parts were free of errors. She then set aside five minutes to ponder the last question alone.
After struggling for a long time, checking the calculations several times, sweats began to pour out her forehead.
In the last thirty seconds, before the bell rang, Chu Yin decided to change the answer.
When she finished making changes, the bell rang and the math test was over.
Chu Yin panicked for no reason.
Generally speaking, teachers did not advocate changing answers, because people’s first instincts were often accurate.
The answer card was taken away and Chu Yin’s heart jumped heavily.
After leaving the examination room, Song Zhaolin saw her from a distance and thought she had failed the exam. He was about to pounce on her, to try and comfort her, but Han Chuying slapped his back.
“Don’t go there! Didn’t you see Yin Yin just wanted a quiet space?!”
Chu Yin didn’t notice them and walked back to the hotel with her head down.
Others thought she did not pass the exam, but …the points that she lost did not affect her admission to the best university.
But Chu Yin wanted more than that. They didn’t know the meaning behind her score.
If…she didn’t perform well in the math test..she wouldn’t be the champion. She would lose the permission to make the ending. The world will still be the same.
The college entrance examination would only happen once. Could she wait for another opportunity?
When she went back to her room, dinner was already served. There was a sweet-scented osmanthus plum soup.
Chu Yin looked down for a moment, got up from the chair, walked to the desk, and picked up the piece of paper.
What if she couldn’t do it?
Hugging her thigh was for nothing.
She hesitated for a long time before deciding not to make a call.
She sent a text message instead.
[ What if I fail the exam? ]
After sending the text, she hugged her arms, squatted on the chair, and curled up. She was uneasy.
She didn’t even realize that she was waiting to be comforted.
In the corridor of the hotel, Lu Zhen leaned against the door of her room. He lowered his eyes to read the text message on the phone.
A few minutes later, Chu Yin’s phone screen turned on.
She picked it up and looked–
[ The world doesn’t have to be carried by you. ]
The anxiety in her heart suddenly died down.
There was someone in this world who knew her thoughts.
And told her that she didn’t have to carry it herself..
Chu Yin pursed her lips, realizing that the depression in her heart was quickly dissipating.
Her appetite also recovered. She picked up the sour plum soup on the table and took a sip.
And Lu Zhen sent a second text message.
She took a sip of the sour plum soup, gulped, and then read the content of the text message-
[ You are already the best, baby. ]
The sour plum soup fell into her stomach, and the sweet and sour taste remained on the tip of her tongue.
After a long time, Chu Yin lowered her eyes, and gently scratched the tabletop with her fingertips.
