Meeting you in autumn

Finally, the day of the college entrance examination, which countless students have strived for for many years and which carries their dreams and hopes, has arrived.

At dawn, as the sun rose, golden sunlight streamed onto the campus, adding a touch of solemnity and reverence to the scene.

Conspicuous cordon tape had already been set up outside the examination room, clearly separating the examination area from the outside world.

The instructors, dressed in neat uniforms, stood solemnly in their designated positions, like guards protecting a castle, ensuring the orderly conduct of the examination.

Meanwhile, the teachers in charge of monitoring also hurried into the examination office to attend an important pre-examination meeting to ensure that the invigilation work was carried out flawlessly.

Furthermore, in order to deal with any possible emergencies, police officers rushed to the scene to maintain order.

Meanwhile, the doctors arrived near the examination site early to be on standby, knowing that some students might feel unwell or even faint due to excessive tension, and they had to be ready to provide emergency care at any time.

Among the many examination venues, Zhaoyi Middle School was fortunate to be selected as one of the examination venues for this year's college entrance examination.

As a result, students from other schools flocked to the school gate like a tide, patiently waiting to pass through security and enter the examination room with trepidation.

Shen Jia, standing in the crowd, stared intently at the spectacular scene before her, a sense of panic rising within her.

Her once fair face was now flushed red, and her heart seemed to be pounding like a playful little rabbit in her chest, making her breath quicken.

She involuntarily gripped the arms of her family members beside her, her voice trembling as she said, "What should I do? What should I do? I'm so panicked!"

Seeing this, Shen Xian quickly reached out and gently patted his sister's shoulder, comforting her tenderly, "It's okay, little sister. It's alright even if you don't do well on the test, your brother is here for you. I can take care of you."

Just then, Chen Fang strolled over leisurely. Seeing Shen Jia's tense face, he smiled slightly, a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said, "Haha, look how nervous you are. I'm not nervous at all, why are you so nervous?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jia glared at him fiercely and replied irritably, "Hmph, you're just being stubborn! Be careful you don't fail the exam, or Brother Chen might really send you to work as a bricklayer on a construction site!"

"Hahaha~" Hearing Shen Jia's words, the others couldn't help but laugh.

However, Shen Xian looked at him with a gossipy expression and asked, "Did Chen Chen really say that?"

Chen Fang didn't respond, but instead glared at Shen Jia, his eyes seeming to say, "Don't leave after the college entrance exam."

Seeing Chen Fang's discomfiture, Shen's mother quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Oh dear, stop teasing Xiao Fang."

She then turned her gaze to Chen Fang and said, "Don't worry, Fang, that brat dares to make you do manual labor. Your Aunt Hao will be the first to get back at him. Aunt Hao definitely won't let you go."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Shen Jia was the first to object: "Mom, you're just being biased!"

Shen's mother's delicate face was also full of helplessness, but the doting look in her eyes was as gentle as the warm spring sun.

She gently extended her finger and tapped Shen Jia's little head, her movements so gentle as if she were afraid of damaging the most precious treasure in the world.

Chen Fang, who was standing to the side, saw all of this. When he heard Shen's mother say those caring words, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Just then, the sharp-eyed Shen Jia suddenly spotted Guan Yu and the others not far away.

Overjoyed, she quickly turned to her mother and brother beside her and called out, "Mom, brother, I see my friends! I'm going to go find them!"

Before she could finish speaking, and before Shen's mother and Shen Xian could react, she grabbed Chen Fang's arm and rushed toward Guan Yu's location.

As Shen Xian watched his sister's departing figure, his gaze inadvertently swept over a figure beside Shen Jia.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, his face lit up with surprise, and he muttered to himself, "The Feng family? They're actually taking the exam in the capital?"

Seeing her son muttering to himself, Shen's mother asked curiously, "Son, what are you muttering about?"

Startled by his mother's question, Shen Xian, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it. He composed himself and replied softly, "It's nothing, Mom. Let's go home first."

"Mm." Mother Shen nodded slightly in response, and then the mother and son turned around and slowly disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Meanwhile, Guan Yu and her friends appeared relaxed and carefree, showing no signs of the tension or panic that came with the upcoming exam.

They appeared calm and composed, chatting animatedly with great interest. Each of them wore a relaxed and cheerful smile, seemingly brimming with confidence about the exam.

"Let's go celebrate after the college entrance exam!" Feng Ming suggested.

"Yes, that's fine," everyone nodded in agreement.

As the announcement came over the loudspeaker: "All candidates, please proceed through security in an orderly manner."

Jing Yi and his group, along with students from other schools, passed through security and entered the school.

Fifteen minutes later, the announcement came over the loudspeaker again: "Invigilators, please organize the candidates to enter the examination room. Invigilators, please organize the candidates to enter the examination room."

The candidates entered the examination room in an orderly manner, found their seats, and prepared to face this major test in their lives. After all the candidates had entered the examination room, the student code of conduct was broadcast.

As the announcement was made, the invigilators finished distributing the answer sheets and exam papers. Immediately afterwards, a deafening bell rang out, like a bugle call on a battlefield, announcing the official start of this battle without gunpowder.

The entire examination room was filled with a tense atmosphere. The students were answering the questions seriously, and the only sound was the scratching of pens on the test papers.

Time ticked by, and the exam finally ended. The students walked out of the exam hall with a sigh of relief, some elated, others dejected.

The following exams were just as easy as today's. Guan Yu and Jing Yi handed in their papers early and slipped out of the exam room. They were always the first to come out.

When the bell rang for the last English exam, the students rushed out of the exam room like wild horses, some even shouting to vent their frustrations from the past few days.

Regardless of how they did on the exam, everyone felt relieved and began to look forward to their future lives.

Outside the examination hall, Shen Jia hugged Guan Qing and Guan Yu tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Fang let out a long sigh and shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'm free! I don't have to go to class anymore!"

This sudden shout startled Jing Yi and the others nearby, making them tremble.

Chen Feng scoffed with disdain, "What are you yelling about?"

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Fangqiang said, "You don't understand."

Feng Ming patted Chen Fang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, the exam is over."

Guan Yu chimed in, "That's right, we can finally get rid of the pressure of studying! Let's go celebrate together!"

"Okay, let's drink until we drop tonight!" Shen Jia said excitedly, wiping away her tears.
