"You two get some good rest, and try your best in the exam tomorrow; we're going back now,"

"There are restaurants next door, so remember to eat after your exam, take care of each other, and don't set the air conditioning too low at night as it's easy to catch a cold…"

Xu Musen's parents and Liu Rushuang had no plans to stay with them for the entire time.

The kids were already grown up; they didn't need constant supervision and would take things seriously on their own.

Secondly, having parents around all the time could actually add psychological pressure to the children; it's better to let them face the exams with a relaxed mindset.

After giving them a few instructions, they let the two enter the hotel directly.

As Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue went upstairs, they found that there were quite a few students from their school in the hotel as well.

Seeing the two of them appear together, the others seemed to sense the scent of gossip in the air.

Some even guessed if they were staying in the same room or something of the sort.

Of course, many boys also looked at Xu Musen with a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment; after all, being seen with such a beautiful girl at a hotel made them somewhat fanciful.

Xu Musen ignored these gazes, as their rooms were indeed separated by only one wall.

"Room key."

Xu Musen held out his hand, and Yao Mingyue turned to look at him for a few seconds before taking two room keys out of her bag and handing one to him.

"Have a good rest tonight."

Yao Mingyue said with a smile.

Xu Musen took it, even slightly surprised that Yao Mingyue had no other moves.

F*ck… Got so used to being teased, suddenly acting so serious felt a bit strange.

"You too."

Since she was polite, Xu Musen responded in kind and went into his room after swiping the card.

Yao Mingyue, however, stood in the doorway watching his straightforward action of closing the door, a smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

She too opened her door; the hotel booked by Liu Rushuang was naturally high-end, and the room was fully equipped.

Yao Mingyue looked around and finally rested her gaze on the smoke detector on the ceiling…

Xu Musen set down his things and went to take a shower first. As his mobile phone played music, he sang in the bathroom - even Jacky Cheung would have to step aside.

"Ding~"

A message tone came from the mobile, Xu Musen touched the foam in front of his eyes, and glanced, it was from An Nuannuan.

Xu Musen wiped his hands and picked up the phone.

An Nuannuan: "Xu Musen, did you go out to stay somewhere today?"

Xu Musen: "Yeah, at a hotel near the exam venue. How about you?"

"I'm at home. I see many classmates in the group chat are staying together outside, I'm so envious."

"Actually, it's quite nice to be at home alone."

"But they seem to be having such a good time living together… Xu Musen, if I were at the same exam site as you, could I have spent the night out with you?"

Xu Musen almost didn't hold his phone steady; what kind of weird wording was this?

"Nuannuan, that's called a friend sleepover, and it has to be with someone of the same sex."

"Oh… so what are you doing right now?"

"Taking a shower."

"Oh, then you go ahead and shower. Grandma says you can't play with your phone while showering, chatting naked will give you a cold."

"..."

Indeed, fruit chat is even illegal!

...

The next morning.

The Chinese exam would start at nine, and they were allowed to enter the exam hall at eight thirty.

Xu Musen planned to sleep until eight. He had already taken the exam in his past life, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

But an early round of knocking on the door woke him up.

Groggily getting out of bed to answer the door, Xu Musen found a neatly dressed Yao Mingyue standing outside.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Musen asked.

In reply, Yao Mingyue's phoenix eyes seemed to shine a light, scanning over Xu Musen as if she had found her prey.

The breeze in the corridor hit him, and Xu Musen finally realized he hadn't put on a shirt. He hurriedly covered himself, but then he thought, what does a big guy like him have to hide?

Yao Mingyue pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I brought you breakfast."

She was holding soy milk and steamed buns in her hands.

Xu Musen was stunned for a moment. She brought him breakfast on her own initiative?

Had the sun risen from the west?

Yet Yao Mingyue walked right in and closed the door behind her.

Her man couldn't be gawked at by other wild women.

Xu Musen also got dressed, brushed his teeth, and watched Yao Mingyue who was looking around the room.

What trick was this little sickly sweetheart up to now?

"Auntie was worried you'd oversleep, so she asked me to wake you. The breakfast is provided by the hotel; I just brought it up for you."

Yao Mingyue's voice came as she sat down on Xu Musen's bed.

A fair little hand quietly slipped into the still-warm covers.

Boys really are warm, it gets warmer towards the center... hehehe...

If she weren't worried about getting caught, she might even want to crawl in and lie down for a while.

Xu Musen finished washing up and came out, only to see Yao Mingyue sitting gracefully on the edge of the bed, the morning light illuminating her fair skin, making it look even more lustrous.

Today she was wearing a beige long dress with just a few decorative prints, simple yet youthful.

Xu Musen took a bite of the steamed bun and sipped the soy milk. At this critical point, even if this little sickly sweetheart was crazy, she wouldn't drug him now.

Yao Mingyue crossed her legs, revealing a small section of her fair, tender leg from beneath her skirt.

One had to admit, Yao Mingyue had a height advantage and liked playing volleyball, so her legs were truly slender without lacking fleshiness, close to perfection.

But her watching him eat like this made Xu Musen feel a bit odd.

"What about you?"

"I've eaten already."

Yao Mingyue spoke, resting her chin in her hand as she continued to watch him.

Her being so normal made Xu Musen feel rather abnormal.

Prepared for the test, entered the examination site.

After the security check, stepping back into the battlefield of the college entrance examination, many were nervously rubbing their hands while quite a few stealthily exchanged glances, hoping to later slide their answer sheets towards the edge of the desk.

Although they couldn't see the numbers clearly, they could guess the answers from the pattern of shading on the answer card.

They had also figured out a pattern: the quiet girls usually had the best grades, followed by the boys who wore honest-looking black frame glasses. Copying from them was a sure bet.

As for the pudgy ones, with a bit of a mustache, crew cuts, and wearing long white socks... those were more likely to be from Nantong.

Of course, anything you could think of was just leftover tricks from the test creators. No matter how much you analyzed, the score you'd usually get wouldn't differ much.

But for those who were clueless in math and English, it was the only time during the exam they had to use their brains extensively and match wits with the invigilators.

After a session of the test, their eyes were skewed as if they'd been caught in the wind.

Xu Musen, who was tall, handsome, and had an aura about him, would by default be considered a student ruffian.

After all, if he were this good-looking, he'd definitely be busy dating every day. Aren't watching girls' beautiful legs better than looking at test papers?

The test papers were handed out, and Xu Musen saw that the questions were indeed the same as the previous year's first mock exam.

Although he couldn't remember most of the questions, there was not much difficulty for Xu Musen.

When the reading time was up, he picked up his pen and began writing swiftly.

After just twenty minutes, while others were still frowning at the poetry fill-in section, Xu Musen flipped the page over.

In the quiet exam room, even the sound of flipping a page could put pressure on others.

They looked at Xu Musen's back and sneered inwardly.

What was he pretending for? Surely, he was just writing nonsense.

Forty-something minutes later, Xu Musen reached the essay page.

Looking at the title "During the early years of the nation when the economy was strained, why did China refuse the olive branch temptations offered by the US and the Soviet Union and persist on an independent sovereignty path? What have you learned from this..." he felt an unusually strong resonance.

He picked up his pen with a contemplative face.

"To govern a country is like living a life; clinging to powerful thighs will only gradually lead to the loss of sovereignty, becoming a vassal without dignity. Be wary of sugar-coated bullets from wealthy (stricken) countries, tempting facades, and maintain your self-worth.

Build up the economic wallet, enhance the firepower; only when you are strong can you truly be strong!"
