"Squeak~"

The door opened softly, and a slender figure tiptoed into the room. Just as she closed the door, she heard a sound behind her.

"where have you been?"

Lin Shuyun raised her head, straightened her chest, and turned around as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. Husband, why aren't you asleep yet?"

The room was dark, and Jiang Changtian sat on the edge of the bed. The red marks on his face had been washed away, revealing his true appearance.

His eyebrows resembled distant mountains, his nose was high and straight, his eyes were like bright stars, and he exuded a calm and composed demeanor.

Anyone who sees him would have to say, "What a handsome young man, a true gentleman!"

Lin Shuyun was momentarily mesmerized.

"I can't sleep without you."

Jiang Changtian didn't know why these words came out of his mouth, and immediately felt that he had been too rash.

It hasn't been that long, yet every smile and frown of this woman in front of him can sway his emotions.

That feeling of his heart pounding made him feel embarrassed and annoyed from time to time.

Knowing full well that she isn't...

Lin Shuyun smiled brightly, "Husband, don't be afraid, I'm here. You have an exam tomorrow, let's rest quickly."

After saying that, she pushed Jiang Changtian down onto the bed and nimbly lay down next to him.

Jiang Changtian's heart was pounding like a drum, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

Lin Shuyun turned around, her back to him, and said, "Husband, you should focus on your studies and not think about anything else."

A beautiful woman is sleeping next to you, but you can only look and not touch her. She's a normal person, and it's very difficult for her to restrain herself.

After silently reciting the calming mantra a few more times, Lin Shuyun forced herself to fall asleep.

In the darkness, Jiang Changtian felt ashamed of his filthy thoughts.

She's only thinking of what's best for herself, yet she's thinking such filthy things; she's utterly unworthy of being human.

Jiang Changtian fell asleep at some point.

When he woke up again, Lin Shuyun was sitting beside him, resting her chin on her hand and looking at him with a smile.

"My lord, change your clothes, let's head to the academy."

A brand-new set of white clothes was placed to the side. Lin Shuyun always felt that Jiang Changtian would look good in white.

Sure enough, after putting it on, he looked incredibly dashing.

Just in case, Lin Shuyun still drew some marks on his face.

When they arrived at the academy gate, a long line of students had already formed to take the exam.

These students had to be checked one by one before they could enter. The academy provided the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones for the exams, so they didn't need to bring anything.

Jiang Changtian followed behind the group, while Lin Shuyun waited for her under a tree not far away.

Those nearby, seeing that he was still using a cane, immediately burst into laughter.

"A cripple is taking the entrance exam? When did the academy start accepting cripples?"

This shout instantly made Jiang Changtian the center of attention.

This is the first time I've ever seen someone come to school on crutches.

At this moment, the person standing in front of Jiang Changtian turned around and said, "Brother, he's just injured, it's not like he won't recover. It's best for a gentleman not to talk about other people's faults."

What a coincidence! Isn't that the man in the long robe from yesterday?

"I'm talking about other people, what's it to you! Mind your own business!" she retorted rudely to the person who had been mocking her.

"It's just a lucky reminder. The people from the academy are watching. Please continue, brother." The man in the long robe finished speaking and stopped looking at him.

The man fell silent, looking sullen, and the people around him stopped staring at Jiang Changtian.

"Thank you," Jiang Changtian said.

The man in the long gown nodded without saying anything. The check-up ahead was going quite quickly; he was next.

After the man in the long gown went in, it was Jiang Changtian's turn.

After giving his name, his name was not on the list.

"You're not on this list at all, move aside, next one!"

The person in charge of the inspection didn't waste any words and directly told Jiang Changtian to move aside.

Jiang Changtian explained, "How could that be? I registered at the registration office yesterday, and Xie, the registration officer, added my name himself. How could my name not be there?"

He watched it being added with his own eyes; Lin Shuyun even spent ten taels of silver on it.

"No means no. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I'm busy, get out of the way!"

The person inspecting this group was a middle-aged man who didn't mince words at Jiang Changtian and told him to hurry up and leave the way.

Jiang Changtian's expression immediately turned cold, and Lin Shuyun, standing under the tree, also clenched her fists.

court death!

"Brother Changtian?! Is that you, Brother Changtian?"

Just then, a surprised voice came from behind the crowd.

Jiang Changtian turned around, and Feng Hao ran towards him with a happy expression.

He turned directly to the middle-aged man and questioned him, "Why won't you let him in?"

The middle-aged man said in a harsh tone, "That's a question. If his name isn't on the list, of course we won't let him in. Otherwise, if I let any big shot in, what would happen if something went wrong? Who would take responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Hao became anxious. "But he was also a student of Master Li, just like me. He just had an accident and went home to recuperate. In terms of knowledge, he is superior to me. If you don't believe me, you can find Master Li and ask him yourself."

Master Li has been incorporated into the academy, and now he is left to his own devices within the academy.

"You're just being unreasonable! Get out of here and don't waste my time! You're lame and you still come to take the exam? Don't you even know if you're cut out for it?" The middle-aged man shoved Feng Hao aside.

"What nonsense are you spouting! You're supposed to be a member of the academy, how can you curse students like that!" Feng Hao's face turned red and his neck thickened.

Just as Lin Shuyun was about to make a move, someone came out of the door.

A tall, thin middle-aged man with somewhat sunken cheeks, a serious expression, and slightly high cheekbones that gave him a somewhat mean look.

"What's going on? Why are you shouting so loudly?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the middle-aged man immediately spoke respectfully, "Master Feng, this student is not on the entrance exam list, yet he has come here so abruptly..."

Feng Hao hurriedly spoke up, "Master Feng, it was Master Li who forgot to add him to the list. I can testify that he was my classmate before, the one who was injured and returned home, Jiang Changtian."

"You are Jiang Changtian?" Master Feng looked at Jiang Changtian.

According to Master Li, this student was good at his studies, but his conduct was improper...

Jiang Changtian bowed and said, "Student Jiang Changtian."

Master Feng saw that Jiang Changtian's eyes were clear and upright, and he did not seem to be a person with a wicked mind.

He said to the middle-aged man, "Let him in. Since he is a student with a clean background, he should be given a chance even if he is not on the list."

"Academies are places to benefit scholars throughout the world, not places to bully others by taking advantage of their power."

The middle-aged man nodded quickly, and after searching Jiang Changtian and finding nothing on him, told him to go inside immediately.

Jiang Changtian turned to look at Lin Shuyun, who gave him a thumbs-up.

Only after the competition was over did he realize that Jiang Changtian might not understand it.

But when Jiang Changtian saw her smile, he felt at ease, turned around, and entered the academy with his cane.

As for Feng Hao, he went in after Jiang Changtian.

Since the exam results wouldn't be out for a while, Lin Shuyun decided to go to the county town first. It was her first time in the county town, and everything was new and exciting to her.

In his excitement, he forgot all about Old Man Xu at the Xiangyun Inn.

Old Xu was so bored.

After waiting and waiting for Lin Shuyun to return but she didn't come back, the dog put on a big straw hat and sneaked out.
