1112 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (III)

AFTER students finished the Chinese Language and Literature subject, proctors systematically moved through the exam halls, collecting the completed exam papers. They proceeded row by row, collecting each paper from the students, checking for any stray marks or incomplete sections.

The proctors maintained a calm and orderly demeanor as they gathered the papers, ensuring that each one was accounted for and handled with care. Once all the papers had been collected, they were securely sealed. And this marked the end of the first subject.

One of the proctors stepped forward and addressed the classroom. "Attention, students. Please remain in your seats. You may eat your packed lunches quietly while staying within the classroom. Remember to maintain silence and avoid discussing the exam until the break ends."

Luo Yan took a deep breath and put all his pens and erasers in his pencil case and put it back in his bag. Then he took out his packed lunch. It was a two-tiered lunch box.

In the top tier, he found a serving of steamed jasmine rice, fluffy and aromatic, accompanied by tender slices of stir-fried chicken with colorful bell peppers and crunchy snow peas, seasoned with a light soy sauce glaze. Alongside the chicken was a small container of stir-fried bok choy, vibrant green and crisp. In the bottom tier was a portion of homemade vegetable dumplings, filled with a flavorful mixture of finely chopped cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms.

Luo Yan could feel the gazes of some of the students on his packed lunch. An awkward laugh almost escaped his lips. Imagine what the reaction of the other students would be if what he brought was a five tiered lunch box like what his father wanted him to initially bring. Even the proctors would have probably stared at him, wondering if he was flaunting that his family was rich, or he was simply a glutton. Either reason would be too embarrassing.

Ignoring the gazes of others, he silently started eating. Hopefully, he wouldn't get indigestion from all the staring. He hoped Yu Jiao was having a better time than him. For her, who could easily get nervous, a peaceful lunch would be the best.

As he ate, he wondered what the other members of the family were doing.

----------

At the end, it would all depend on her daughter's decision. Whatever Yu Jiao decided, as her mother, she would just silently support her.

"I think Xiao Jin is right," she just said in response to what Luo Jin said earlier. "Let's all eat so we will have energy later to welcome both Yan Yan and Jiao Jiao."

The three men of the Luo family seemed convinced by that and finally ate their food in earnest.

----------

Hours passed, and the first day of the college entrance exam finally ended. Students began to walk out of the classroom, looking tired but relieved. Some stretched their arms and legs after sitting for so long, while others chatted quietly with friends about the test. Backpacks were slung over shoulders, and a few students glanced at their phones to check messages from family and friends.

The hallway buzzed with a mix of exhaustion and the slight anticipation of what tomorrow's exams would bring. Despite the fatigue, there was a sense of accomplishment in the air as they made their way out of the school building.

Among these students were Luo Yan and Yu Jiao. Just like the rest, they were also discussing the exam and their answers to some of the hard questions. Yu Jiao showed a relieved expression whenever she heard that she and Luo Yan had the same answer. Especially in some of the Math problems.

As soon as they walked out of the school building, they immediately saw Luo Yan's family, as well as Yu Jiao's mother, waiting for them. It's hard not to see them when they had the three tallest men standing together amongst the crowd.

Both Luo Yan and Yu Jiao quickly ran towards the four.
