173 Caught
“Ah, thank you.” The female reporter was still in shock.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and seeing that an accident was about to happen, the reporters backed away a little.
Every year during the college entrance examination, there would be many reporters waiting outside the examination hall to interview the examinees and teachers.
Le Wan wanted to refuse, but when she saw that their faces were red and their sideburns were covered in sweat, she guessed that they must have been waiting outside the examination hall for a long time, so she agreed.
Then, she heard someone ask,
“Student, as the first person to leave the examination hall, how do you feel now?”
“I’m the first candidate to come out?” Asked Le Wan in surprise. She had thought that someone had already handed in their paper.
After all, some students only came to the examination venue for the college entrance examination. For example, in her previous college entrance examination, she had met people who ran away immediately and handed in their papers in advance.
The reporters confirmed her suspicions.
“Yes, you’re the first.”
“Then, do you think today’s Chinese exam was difficult?” Another reporter immediately asked.
Le Wan thought for a moment.
“It’s alright. I’ve done everything I can.”
As she answered the reporters’ questions, she saw Mama Le and Nanny Zhang packing their things in secret from the corner of her eye, preparing to escape.
The reporter pressed on,
“What about those who don’t know how to do it?”
“I didn’t find anything that I don’t know how to do,” Le Wan said.
She hurriedly pushed the reporters aside and ran over, catching the two of them in the act.
“Mom, didn’t you promise us not to wait outside the exam hall?”
Mama Le explained guiltily,
“Sigh, I’m just having fun with so many parents gathered together. I didn’t expect you to be so good and come out so quickly.”
Le Wan said in her heart,
“Don’t give me that. Why didn’t I see her so enthusiastic when the school held parent-teacher meetings in the past?”
If Mama Le heard this, she would definitely cry out that she had been wronged. The parents of Mingcheng Private High School were basically in the same circle. They would bump into a few of them wherever they went. The content of their conversation was either showing off their fashion and jewelry, or their husband and children. It was not like this, where everyone didn’t know each other’s identity and chatted with each other for fun.
Looking at the half-finished milk tea in their hands, the buzzing fan, and the fried chicken and chips on the stool, Le Wan couldn’t help but swallow her saliva and said,
“I see that you guys are having a good time.”
Mama Le looked at the things in her hands and laughed dryly.
She was a little bored from waiting. She happened to see a delivery boy driving by on an electric bike. There were a few cups of milk tea hanging on the car. She heard a parent next to her say,
“It’s so hot. It’s better to order a cup of milk tea to quench your thirst.”
To maintain her figure, Mama Le had been very careful with her diet. The high-calorie food sold outside, such as milk tea and fried chicken, was junk food in her mind, so she had never eaten it.
But now that she heard about it, she suddenly wanted to try it, so she took her phone and asked the other party how to order takeaway. After learning, she generously invited the people around her to drink milk tea.
As for the small fans, the owner of the nearby store was smart. Seeing so many parents waiting here, he specially packed a bag of small fans and sold them to them.
Seeing that Mama Le was having a good time, Le Wan didn’t continue to complain. Mama Le was happy to show off to her daughter.
“I just met a parent and we got along very well. We even exchanged some parenting tips, Baby.”
She pulled Le Wan aside and was about to introduce her to her new friend when Le Wan saw a familiar figure.
“Auntie, what are you doing here?”
It turned out that the person who had almost fainted outside the examination hall was Zhai Jing’s mother!
For this examination, she and Zhai Jing were coincidentally assigned to the same examination hall. However, they were not in the same teaching building and the distance between them was a little far. In consideration of the Le family, the two young lovers didn’t meet up. Unexpectedly, Le Wan ran into his mother outside the examination hall.
“Does Zhai Jing know that you’re here?”
Given the auntie’s physical condition, it wasn’t suitable for her to come here at all. Why would Zhai Jing be willing to let her come?
When Aunt Zhai saw Le Wan, she was obviously a little flustered. She was afraid that Le Wan would misunderstand and quickly explained,
“I didn’t tell him that I would come over.”
In the morning, she had wanted to send Zhai Jing to the examination venue, but he had refused. Under her insistence, he had only agreed to let her send him downstairs.
However, after seeing her son leave in a car, she hesitated for a moment and took a taxi to the examination hall. She thought that she would come to take a look and go back after feeling at ease.
Unexpectedly, the weather was too hot. She stood for a little longer and almost couldn’t hold on.
