Chapter 266 - Exam

It was Li Zi's final take for the day.

Sun Lin was walking along the city streets. People glared at her, for she looked like a beggar. She looked for an empty space and set her Zither. She then started playing a simple melody to attract the people passing by. It didn't take long for her to grab everyone's attention as they proceed. 

"Cut!" 

Elizabeth quickly got up and hand over the Zither to the props man. "Director how did I do?" 

"No worries, everything is great. You can get change..." he answered.

Elizabeth quickly run to the dressing room to get changed as fast as she could. As she steps out of the dressing room, Liying was already waiting for her. 

"Sis Li Zi, I made you a sandwich since you won't have time to eat." 

"Thank Liying, tell Bro Wang I'll go ahead." 

Elizabeth ran to her car whilst she munches down on the sandwich Liying prepared.

"Young Miss, Lady Zhao told me to drive you to school." the man said who was carrying her school bag. 

"Bro Ling, let's hurry up." she replied, as she handed over the keys to him. 

Elizabeth sat on the back seat as the man's hand over all his stuff and a paper bag. 

"What's this?"

"Lady Zhao told me to buy you some food since you won't have time to eat."

"Thank Bro Ling." she replied as she started eating all the food that was given to her. At the same time, she grabs the notes in her bag and started reviewing them. 

'...Darn it! Now I remember why I really wished to go home last night. I forgot I have my exams today.'

She looked so depressed as dark clouds hover over her head. 

When they arrived at the university's gate, before she got down, "Bro Ling, you don't need to wait for me. You can go home and take the car. I'll go home on my own later." 

"Understood, Young Miss."

She got down the car and quickly ran to her exam room. 

"Am I late?" she asked, noticing all the students in the room and the proctor have arrived as well.

"Just in time." 

Elizabeth sighs in relief and hastily went to the empty seat and took out her pen. 

"Alright, you all have exactly two hours to finish the exam. Once you're down, you may hand in your paper and go..." the exam proctor said.

As the students passed the paper around. Elizabeth was anxious as she grabs one of the exam sheets and passed it to her back. 

'Calm down, you got this. Just try to remember all your lessons and your revision notes.'

"Alright, you may all start."

Before she starts answering the exam sheet, she scanned the question sheet first, her eyes dilated when she saw the question as if an asteroid such crushed on earth.

'...I'm so screwed.'

She grabs her marker as she started answering the question. 

As time passed by, most students face turned gloomy whilst others seems to have given up halfway through the exam. The sound of the marker tapping on the table made it clear to everyone how difficult the exam is. 

The girl focuses on the exam as she herself feel nervous and frustrated unable to answer some of the questions. She looked up and check the time and release an hour has passed by already. 

Less than half an hour before the exam will end. She placed her marker down as she carefully checks the questions and answers. 

'Whatever, I'm confident half of the answers are right. I just hope it's enough for me to pass.'

When everyone saw the girl got up from her seat and handed her papers. They started to panic realizing they didn't have any more time left. 

Down the hallway, the girl was dragging herself like a zombie. She felt so exhausted after using her brain that much. 

"Why did I even take law?"

As she continued to walk down the hallway, her phone suddenly rang... 

"Hello?" 

"Sis Li Zi, where are you? Have you finished your exam?"

The person on the other end asked at the same time other voices can be heard from the background. 

"Song Mi, I just finished where are you guys. What's wrong with Xiao Shi?"

"She's crying since she thinks she failed her exam." she replied, as she talked to the people she's with, "Bro Zhu said let's meet at Fantasia." 

"Alright, I'll see you guys there. Tell Xiao Shi to order whatever she wants. I'll be my treat to cheer her up." she replied as she ends the call. 

Elizabeth then called someone else... 

"Sis Yifie, where are you?" 

"I'm in the library since everyone has their exam." 

"Meet me at the south gate, let's go eat some cake." 

When Elizabeth arrived at the south gate, she wondered where Liu Yifie was. 

"Lizzy."

"Sis Yifie," she turned around and smiled seeing the girl in school uniform. "Wow, your department uniform is amazing." 

"It's not as amazing as your uniform since you guys have a robe."

"Well, we are lawyers." Elizabeth beamed proudly as to why they were such a unique uniform, unlike the other students. 

"So where are we heading?" Liu Yifie curiously asked as she followed the girl. 

"Everyone at Fantasia to relax since we've all just finished our exams today." 

"How did everyone do?" 

"Only Xiao Shi seems depressed." Elizabeth giggled.

"She even asked me to help her with her exam. But I haven't studied that far yet..." 

Whilst the two girls walked down the university ground, it didn't take long for them to reach the pastry shop. 

The shop was run by the students at the university. It was the University way to help the students who are low in income, at the same time, since the shop is on school grounds, which means no harm will fall upon those working in the shop such as harassment. 

When they step inside the shop, the two girls could not stop laughing seeing the vast amount of pastries on the table. Whilst the other two look ashamed of the person they were with. 

"Xiao Shi sure went all in." Liu Yifie said.

"She did." Elizabeth was bewildered to see the table covered in different pastries.

"Li Zi, Sis Yifie you're here as well." Song Mi said as she approached them.

"I hope I'm not intruding." Liu Yifie said.

"Of course not, it's better if we are all together."

"Xiao Shi, are you really that depressed?" Elizabeth teased the girl as she seated on the chair.

"I am, thanks to you, my broken heart is slowly being healed." she replied whilst devouring the different cakes.

"Sis Li Zi, Sis Yifie what would you like to drink?" Zhu Zhilong asked.

Elizabeth: "Green Tea."

Liu Yifie: "Latte."

"Coming right up," he said, as he went to the counter and order the drinks. 

"Sis Li Zi, your movie trailer is out, once it's in cinema.  Let's watch it together." Liu Shi suggested.

"Sure, we can... I'll text you guys the time."

As they gather around together, they talked about how the exam went and their upcoming plans. Liu Yifie was looking distantly at Elizabeth as she realizes she really has lost her memory. She felt so bitter seeing the girl live a life of lies. How she wishes to cry right now but it will only alarm everyone... She wonders, what will happen to Elizabeth if one day she'll know the truth. From what Xinyi told her, Lizzy has a monstrous, cruel personality that no one can control.

'Lizzy, why did you remove your memory in the past? Does love have anything to do with it? It seems like your personality is always triggered when love is involved. Could you have fallen for someone else before and saw the cold truth which leads you to be such a savage person?'
