Chapter 186: The Day Before the Exams (1)

Ye Tianxin looked at Di Shanshi’s face. His face was tanned and dirty.

“I am loaning this to you, Di Shanshi,” Ye Tianxin clarified. “I hope that you will be able to make something of yourself. I hate seeing you like this.”

Di Shanshi stretched out his hand and took the bank card. The bank card was light and thin. However, when Di Shanshi held it in his hand, it felt heavy.

He finally understood something.

She was unreachable to him.

Somehow, without him noticing, they had become people from two different worlds.

Her world was growing and changing.

While his…

Di Shanhi felt as if his heart had fallen into the pits of hell, multiple hands clawing at it.

It was so painful. He held the bank card and got up in a hurry and left. He was embarrassed.

Ye Tianxin did not see Di Shanshi again since then. She did not hear any news about him either.

Jiameng High School became very calm. Time passed by, and the day before the college entrance exams dawned upon them.

All students taking the exams had to travel to the city a day before.

The same applied to Ye Tianxin.

On the day of the college entrance examinations…

This day would decide the fate of many students, their future. They were excited and nervous at the same time—excited to see the city and nervous on how the exams would go.

Ye Tianxin packed her luggage early in the morning. She had taken mock exams before so she was not that nervous.

Ye Tianxin arrived on time at the meeting point in school.

The school had rented several buses from a transport company in the city. The buses lined up on the field. Each student carried several bags.

It was a very hot day, and they could hear the crickets chirping.

Using the school broadcasting facilities, the principal took the opportunity to say encouraging words to every student about to take the college entrance exams.

After the speech, the homeroom teacher of every class led their students to the assigned bus.

Ye Tianxin and Li Xiaohui got onto the bus and sat together. With a bag on her lap, Li Xiaohui spoke, “Tianxin, my mom gave me a hundred dollars today. I will take you to have spicy skewers later.”

“We are about to take the college entrance exams and you are still thinking about eating,” Ye Tianxin replied, shaking her head. “What if the food out there isn’t hygienic? What are you going to do if your stomach gets upset during the exam?”

Li Xiaohui disagreed when she heard that. “Anyway, given my results, I’m not going to make it to a good college unless I get super lucky…”

“I have already said my piece.”

Ye Tianxin leaned against the window and closed her eyes. Li Qingcang occupied her mind. She knew she should be thinking about the exams, but she couldn’t help it.

They had not talked much since her birthday. Their exchanges of text messages were usually brief.

In his last text message, Li Qingcang only wished Ye Tianxin good luck and reminded her to not be nervous.

But this was the college entrance examinations…

How could she not be nervous?

Ye Tianxin sighed. When one was in love, one would not be able to focus and think straight.

The buses filled with students going to the city left Jiameng High School at 10 in the morning.

At that moment, the sound of firecrackers lit up the town of Jiameng.

Parents gathered by both sides of the road and waved at the buses.

Ye Tianxin also saw her grandmother and waved frantically at her until the bus was out of the town of Jiameng.

At first, the students were very excited. However, after a while, they got bored and lowered their heads to do their own thing.

They reached a high school in the city.

After being allocated to a dormitory, all the students put down their things and went to the cafeteria to eat.

The food at the cafeteria was very good, but Li Xiaohui did not feel like eating it at all. She tugged on Ye Tianxin’s hand.

“Tianxin, let’s go. Let’s go and eat skewers. I really want to have some!”
