On the other end, there was silence for a few seconds before a message arrived.
“Are you originally from the No.1 Middle School?”
“No,” Wen Ke’an said.
Despite the fact that they were teammates, they rarely spoke. The majority of their interactions centered around unanswered questions.
Wen Ke’an had the impression that her teammate didn’t like to communicate much and had a reserved attitude.
“What about you? Are you from that Middle School?” she inquired after a brief pause.
“No.”
“…”
The examination was held in No.1 Middle School, which was quite far from Wen Ke’an’s residence. The bus ride took almost an hour. Both Liu Qingwen and Wen Qiangguo attended the exam on the same day.
The school’s exam questions were all demanding, with a high level of difficulty. Furthermore, they only accepted a limited number of students this year. Five to six hundred pupils registered for the entire city, but No.1 Middle School would only accept ten.
Wen Ke’an was assigned to the morning session of the exam. It was already late when she arrived at the No.1 Middle School, and everyone was lining up to enter the school.
“Mom, Dad, I’m going in,” Wen Ke’an held the exam supplies she needed and turned to her parents.
“Go for it! Study well, and you’ll do great!” Wen Qiangguo made a supportive gesture.
“Yeah!”
Wen Ke’an quickly found her exam room after entering the school. Her room was on the first level and faced the playground.
The classes were not yet open, despite the fact that they were within the school. Some of the students around her were studying hard, but Wen Ke’an hadn’t taken any study materials with her. She sat on the playground stairs, lost in thought.
“Oh, that’s Wen Ke’an, isn’t it?” “Why is she also here?”
“Wasn’t there a rumor about her gaining weight and becoming ugly?” She still appears to be slender.”
Many of Wen Ke’an’s former classmates from her previous school also attended the exam. They quietly discussed among themselves when they noticed Wen Ke’an.
A girl in a white dress, a blue sky, and white clouds. Wen Ke’an simply sat there silently, attracting a lot of attention.
Wen Ke’an stood up from the stone steps, quickly straightened her attire, and was about to enter the test room when a few girls approached her. Wen Ke’an recognised them, and while she couldn’t recall their names, she dimly recognised them as her middle school friends.
“Wen Ke’an,” the girl in the middle exclaimed, walking up to Wen Ke’an and saying, “What a coincidence, meeting you here.”
Wen Ke’an lowered her gaze and asked, “Is there something you need?”
“It was just some old classmates catching up.” I was surprised to see you here for the Yizhong exam. “How are your preparations coming along?”
“Average.”
“The questions for that school are extremely difficult, and they are only accepting a few students this time.” My father arranged for multiple private teachers exclusively for this exam. If you don’t make it, that’s completely normal.”
Wen Ke’an sensed that her classmate was attempting to console her but was actually showing off. After a little pause, she voiced the inquiry she had been meaning to ask: “Can I ask for your name?”
“…”
There was a brief moment of awkwardness in the air.
The girl in front of her blushed, and with a mix of embarrassment and frustration, she asked, “You don’t recognize me?”
“I recognize you, but I can’t remember your name,” Wen Ke’an earnestly replied.
The girl took a deep breath and said, “I’m… Song… Jia…yi.”
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
“…”
Wen Ke’an cast a peek in the direction of the exam room and noticed that the invigilators had already entered. “The invigilators are in the exam room,” she inquired again, returning her gaze to Song Jiayi. “Do you still require anything?”
Song Jiayi, unable to give up, asked, “You’re not here for Ji Xingran, are you?”
Wen Ke’an finally remembered who Ji Xingran was when Song Jiayi introduced her name. Song Jiayi developed a crush on Ji Xingran when they were in middle school. She used to regard Wen Ke’an as a rival, and she frequently warned and insulted her.
Reflecting on those past events, Wen Ke’an found them childish and amusing.
“Classmate,” Wen Ke’an suddenly spoke.
“Yes?”
“You’re overthinking things.”
***
The exam went off without a hitch. Wen Ke’an handled the difficult questions with ease because she had a solid basis from her past studies. She was certain of most of her responses, with the exception of two multiple-choice problems. Making it into the top ten, on the other hand, should be no issue.
Wen Qiangguo and Liu Qing were already waiting for Wen Ke’an at the school gate when she walked out of the school. Wen Qiangguo had carefully purchased a bouquet of flowers, her favorite sunflowers, to commemorate her achievement.
“Thank you, Dad!” replied Wen Ke’an, accepting the flowers.
“How was the exam?” With a smile, Wen Qiangguo inquired.
“It was alright.”
“Give it your all and leave the rest to fate.” Don’t concentrate on the exam too much after it’s over. I’ll treat you to some wonderful meal while we’re out!”
Everyone bought new clothes after eating lunch in the city and shopping at the mall in the afternoon. It was already dark outside when Wen Ke’an returned home. They returned with some prepared food and had a basic dinner. Wen Ke’an changed into her pajamas and went to bed to rest.
Wen Ke’an checked the study app because she hadn’t used it in a few days. She hadn’t received any messages because she didn’t have many friends on the app. Her teammate had been working hard on challenges over the past few days.
While her individual ranking had dropped, their team ranking remained unchanged, still in second place.
Wen Ke’an was tired of doing practice tasks after finishing the exam. She went to the forums to look around and came across a trending post. A photo of her was included in the post.
For a brief moment, Wen Ke’an was taken aback and clicked on the post.
[How lovely! I met a young lady by chance today while assisting the instructor at school. I took these photographs on the spur of the moment!]
There were numerous photos of her below, including one of her sitting on the playground and another of her holding flowers as she left the school gate.
The student who took the shots was quite talented, and the photos had a great appearance.
[Absolutely stunning, so ethereal!!!]
[Will our school have another campus belle?!!]
[ I hope the young lady will definitely get into our school! She’s so beautiful! ]
This post’s topic had already gotten a lot of attention. Wen Ke’an skimmed over the comments. She was going to leave the topic when she noticed her aloof teammate had also liked the post.
Wen Ke’an was debating whether to initiate a discussion with her teammate when the teammate messaged her first.
[ The World’s Most Handsome ] : “Do you know that girl?”
Wen Ke’an hesitated for a moment.
[ An-An Eats Lemons Every Day ] : “Yes, she’s a friend of mine.”
This time, her teammate replied very quickly.
[ The World’s Most Handsome ]: “Where is she?”
[ An-An Eats Lemons Every Day ]: “Qingsong District, why?”
