1110 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (I)
[YAN YAN, today is such a big day for you. I wanted to wish you all the best! I know you've put in so much hard work and dedication, and I have complete faith in you. Remember to stay calm and double check everything before giving your test paper to the proctor. I'll be rooting for you every step of the way! You've got this. Best of luck, and I love you!]
That was followed by a rabbit sticker sending hugs and kisses.
A smile automatically appeared on Luo Yan's face when he read Shen Ji Yun's WeChat message. Although the two of them video called last night, saying sweet nothings to one another, reading Shen Ji Yun's message still made his heart tingle.
He quickly typed a reply;
[Thank you, Brother Ji Yun. Don't worry, I'm feeling very confident today. Still, I will be very careful and double check my answers to make sure I won't make any careless mistakes.]
[PS. I know you're very nervous right now for me, but don't be. Just like you said, I've got this.]
Then he finished the message by sending a sticker of a cute fox holding an 'I love you' banner.
"Yan, are you not feeling nervous at all?"
Luo Jin's question brought Luo Yan's attention back to the situation inside the car. Yes, they were currently on their way to the exam location assigned to Luo Yan. His father personally decided to drive him there, and Luo Jin also decided to tag along.
Soon, they finally arrive at the exam location.
Luo Yan stepped out of the car and approached the entrance of the school. The campus was buzzing with activity, filled with other students and parents who had come to support their children. Banners emblazoned with motivational messages flanked the school gates, while teachers and volunteers directed the steady flow of examinees.
He noticed the meticulously organized check-in stations, where identification cards were being verified and security personnel ensured that no prohibited items were brought in. The air was thick with anticipation, a palpable reminder of the significance of the college entrance examination.
"Xiao Yan, are you sure you haven't forgotten anything? Do you have your admission ticket?" his father fussed over him, just like the other parents nearby fussing over their children.
"Everything I need is all in my bag, Dad. I double checked it before we left the house," Luo Yan assured the other for the nth time now.
"Don't forget this," Luo Jin said, raising the bag he's carrying. "Your 'lifeline' is here."
Luo Yan chuckled at that description. Because it made sense in a way. What's inside the bag Luo Jin was carrying were his lunch box, a thermos with tea, and a water flask, as well as snacks. So, the bag was slightly bigger than normal lunch bags.
Since the students were not allowed to leave the classroom where they would take the exam for its duration, it's important for the students to bring their own food and water. After all, the exam would last until late in the afternoon. And they would have to repeat this again for the second and last day of the exam tomorrow.
"Yan Yan!" called by a familiar voice from somewhere.
Luo Yan looked in the direction where it came from and saw Yu Jiao almost running towards them. Luo Ren and Aunt Xiuying were following her.
