Although the two kids were young, they were not so tactless. They stopped when they were still half a step away from the bed.

The main reason was that Lin Dong's current condition was not suitable for someone to hug him. His arms and legs were all in plaster, and his head was wrapped in gauze.

When Dabao and Xiaobao knew Xu Yan was going to take them to see Lin Dong, they were still making a lot of noise, but now that they have seen him, they don't even dare to speak loudly.

They carefully surrounded the bed and looked at Lin Dong.

Sometimes he asked him if he had a headache, sometimes he asked him if his arm hurt. Lin Dong felt that the most painful time was when Old Man Li beat him with a belt. Compared with the pain in those days, the pain now was nothing.

So when Dabao and Xiaobao looked at him with red eyes, he could still joke with them, saying that when he was their age, he would not cry easily.

Xiao Bao immediately exposed him, "You were crying just now, and you haven't wiped your tears away yet."

"I'm not crying," Lin Dong said seriously, "My eyelashes fell into my eyes, and I rubbed my eyes, so I shed tears."

Xiaobao was a little skeptical.

Xu Yan glanced at Xie Zhuo who had just come in.

Xie Zhuo received her gaze and tilted his head, "Hmm?"

"It's okay," Xu Yan smiled at him, "I just feel that the environment has a great impact on people. Lin Dong has only been alone with you for a few days?"

Xie Zhuo understood.

Xu Yan was saying that Lin Dong's ability to talk nonsense was something he learned from him.

Xie Zhuo glanced towards the bedside and saw the three children facing each other and talking about their "lovesickness". Without looking at them, he quickly raised his hand and pinched Xu Yan's tight and pretty face.

His voice was low, "The more time you spend alone with me, do I have a greater influence on you?"

Xu Yan glared at him.

Xie Zhuo smiled, lowered his hand and held hers.

The days passed quickly. While candidates across the country were preparing for the exam in a hurry and excitedly, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo did not relax at all. After all, no one could guarantee that the scope of their review would be consistent with the scope of the exam until they sat in the examination room.

You can only review all the knowledge in the textbooks as comprehensively as possible.

In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, everyone was on edge.

Lin Dong's condition was getting better day by day, but he still needed someone to take care of him. Yang Shulan was afraid that Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo would run around and delay their review time, so she packed up and went to the hospital directly.

Xu Yan felt embarrassed at first, but was convinced by Yang Shulan in just a few words.

"The third brother respects us as his elders and has taken care of us over the years. Whenever there was something delicious, he always gave us something. How could I just take the benefits and not help him?"

"The exam is getting closer and closer. I haven't been to school and don't know much, but Mancang has been studying and not even eating actively these past two days. You and the third brother are still running back and forth. Isn't that a waste of time?"

"Auntie has raised Mancang single-handedly. You can rest assured that she will take care of the child. Just study hard."

"If you're really worried about the child, come and see him every three or five days. I..."

Xu Yan didn't let Yang Shulan continue.

He quickly raised his hand and pressed it, "Aunt, what are you talking about? I'm afraid of bothering you. Mancang still needs to review. I'm afraid that if you go to the hospital, Mancang won't even have food to eat."

"Well, you're worrying for nothing," Yang Shulan said, "His father is here, so it's no problem to cook for him. He's not picky about what he eats recently, and he can swallow anything that fits his mouth."

With Yang Shulan's help, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo felt much more relaxed. The two kids were also very sensible. They knew that their third uncle and aunt were going to take exams, so they spoke much more quietly at home.

At the beginning of December, there was a heavy snowfall and the weather became even colder. Xu Yan heard from Yang Shulan that many people had caught colds, so she asked her and Xie Zhuo to pay more attention as well.

Xu Yan agreed and continued to sit at the table writing a letter to his parents.

Before the college entrance examination news was published in the newspaper, Xu Cangsong heard the news and immediately wrote a letter to Xu Yan. However, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were busy with Lin Dong's affairs at the time and did not notice the letter from City B at all. Later, when they finally had some free time, Xie Zhuo went to the commune to pick up the letter.

In the letter, Xu Cangsong wrote a lot, but the main idea was only one, which was to ask Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo to prepare for the exams as soon as possible, and try to get both of them admitted to schools in City B.

A package was also sent to the two of them. Inside the package were money, tickets, some food and a book. Xu Yan flipped through it and found that it was the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" that all the candidates were vying to buy.

It was a sunny day on the day of the exam. Although the sun had not yet come out, there was no wind and no clouds in the blue sky, which made all the candidates feel much better.

There is only one test site in Qingping County, which is inside an old high school in the city.

Qingshan Brigade is not far from the city, so many people live at home, unlike those who live far away and have to pay in advance to stay in guesthouses.

Xu Yan got up very early in the morning, made breakfast with Xie Zhuo, and then rode his bike into the city.

On the way, they met some educated youths who were walking hurriedly at the educated youths' point. Xu Yan didn't pay much attention to them. He just glanced at them a few times, turned back, and whispered to Xie Zhuo that after the exam, their family would go to the hospital to pick up Lin Dong, and then go out to a restaurant together.

Zhou Jingjing was anxious the whole night. She fell asleep in the late night and went out without eating anything in the morning.

His legs were sore from all the walking. He looked up and saw Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo, and his expression became even uglier.

"Why are you so proud? With her stupid brain, it would be useless even if she went!"

Zhou Jingjing uttered a curse, but no one else responded. They just kept walking forward and silently memorized the knowledge point in their hearts.

There were two days in the college entrance examination. Except for the first exam when Xu Yan was a little nervous, the other exams were fine. After all, she had been preparing for this exam for two years, and for many questions, she basically knew how to write the answers after reading them once.

After finishing all the exams, she packed up her things and walked out of the classroom, and saw Xie Zhuo standing under an old locust tree waiting for her.

The man who had an upright posture two years ago now seemed to have lost the last bit of his youthfulness. He was taller, had longer legs, and his face became more handsome. When he didn't smile, he looked a little more distant and indifferent.

Even so, many girls, young and old, came to secretly look at him.

Xu Yan stood not far away and stared at Xie Zhuo for a long time. Just as she was about to walk over, she saw Xie Zhuo suddenly raise his eyes and look at her.

There was wind, but this wind was baked by the warm sun and seemed less bitingly cold. When it blew on people's faces, no one paid much attention to it.

What caught people's attention was the eyes of the person under the tree in front that suddenly lit up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be warmed by the sun.

Another year is about to pass!

Xu Yan found a gap among the words in his mind praising Xie Zhuo's beauty and good figure, and casually inserted a sigh.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Xu Yan staring at him, Xie Zhuo took three or two steps to her.

Dabao and Xiaobao also came to the city, brought by Liu Mancang's father. Liu Mancang probably couldn't stand the noise made by the two kids, so when he saw Xie Zhuo and Xu Yan, he stuffed the children into their hands and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Xu Yan rubbed their heads and asked, "Why did you bother Grandpa Liu again?"

"We didn't make a fuss," Dabao said, "We just wanted to be the first to pick you up, but Grandpa Liu said you were adults and didn't need to be picked up. Xiaobao and I insisted on coming, so he just did it."

"You feel quite aggrieved, don't you?" Xie Zhuo bent down, picked up Dabao, held him in his arms, and then gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.

"And you," Xie Zhuo put Dabao down, and did the same thing again, picking up Xiaobao and kissing him.

Xiao Bao laughed for a long time, and finally hugged Xie Zhuo's neck tightly. He couldn't continue to act like a spoiled child, so Xie Zhuo let him do what he wanted.

Dabao held Xu Yan's hand and told her what he, Xiaobao and Grandpa Liu played and ate together.

They were all trivial matters, and the corners of Xu Yan's mouth kept rising. It was not until their backs were out of sight that Han Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze.

Sun Jiarou fell asleep in the examination room and was woken up several times by the invigilator. Finally, when the papers were about to be collected, the teacher simply ignored her and she lay down and slept for a while.

When she suddenly woke up and sat up straight, she found that there was no one in the classroom. She hurried out and saw Ye Wei standing in front of Han Xiaoyu and saying something.

Sun Jiarou instantly became angry.
