Senior, don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

Today is the first day of the postgraduate entrance examination.

Jiangcheng University was also one of the examination venues, and in addition to its own students, many students from other schools went there to proctor the exam.

Every intersection on campus is marked with road signs to guide students from other universities who come to Jiangnan University. At intervals, there are also student union tents to take care of the logistics for postgraduate entrance examination candidates.

Hotels near the school are almost fully booked these days; they're packed with people.

Postgraduate entrance exam takers include not only senior students, but also "fifth-year" students who have already graduated, and even "sixth-year" students.

With students from other schools also attending, Jiangnan University was bustling with activity today.

Before the postgraduate entrance examination began, students could be seen everywhere on and off the campus of Jiangnan University, holding books, heads down, studying very seriously.

A banner was also hung at the entrance of Zhouye Bookstore, wishing the postgraduate entrance examination candidates success in their exams.

There was even a volunteer station at the entrance of the bookstore, with plenty of bottled water available for postgraduate entrance exam takers to take for free.

Luo Ye sat at the volunteer station, watching the postgraduate entrance exam candidates hurry past, and no one noticed him.

After all, everyone is very relaxed after the college entrance examination. This is the first time in several years that everyone is facing a tense and exciting exam. No one will pay attention to the banners on the roadside. Everyone only cares about their own exams.

However, not everyone paid no attention to him.

At this moment, a senior from Jiang University, leading a large group of people, came up to Luo Ye and asked, "Luo Ye, where is Su Bai Zhou?"

“The senior is inside,” Luo Ye said.

"Ok."

To Luo Ye's growing surprise, this senior student actually put his hands together and bowed to the bookstore.

The others followed his movements and imitated him.

"Senior, what does this mean?" Luo Ye asked, puzzled.

"Before the exam, I'll pray to the academic god, Su Baizhou."

These regulars at the bookstore seem to have their own group chat.

They had already discussed this matter in the group chat.

After studying in the study for several months, it's finally time to put my knowledge into practice.

Su Baizhou's postgraduate entrance exam materials were a great help to them, so they came to pay their respects to Su Baizhou before the exam.

It is both a thank you and a wish.

But Su Baizhou was inside the study, while Luo Ye was outside, so to outsiders it seemed as if they were... paying homage to Luo Ye.

what happened?

Why would you worship a male figure?

Never mind, I'll go up and pay my respects anyway.

Although I don't know the secret, I'd rather believe it exists than not.

Before long, more and more people came to worship.

The scene was quite spectacular.

On the second floor of the bookstore, Ye Qing stood by the window, looking at the scene below. She said with a half-smile, "Zhouzhou, your junior has become a mascot."

There were no customers on the second floor of the bookstore today. Behind Ye Qing, Su Baizhou sat at the table reading a book.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, she stood up and went to the window as well.

Seeing the scene below, a slight smile played on her lips as she asked, "And you? Are you confident?"

"Of course."

Ye Qing said confidently.

Although I don't know what she'll do after the exam.

Even if she passed the exam, she didn't know if she would be able to continue her studies.

But no matter what, let's take the exam first.

"Keep it up," Su Baizhou said softly.

"Ah."

Ye Qing checked the time; the first exam of the morning was about to begin.

She left the bookstore, preparing to head to the examination hall.

The candidates crossed the gates of Jiangda University without hesitation, as if it were a battlefield.

The teaching buildings at Jiangnan University have been cordoned off, and non-graduate students are not allowed to enter for the next few days, just like during the college entrance examination.

Neither Su Baizhou nor Luo Ye had ever taken the postgraduate entrance examination, so they had no idea what that experience was like.

All that is known is that when Ye Qing came out, she looked listless.

Not only her, but everyone else had the same expression.

It looks like this year's exam is going to be very difficult.

At noon, Ye Qing sat on the second floor of the bookstore and sighed, "It's really difficult. Although the types of questions Su Baizhou asked also appeared in the exam, it's still so hard."

"It's alright, Senior Ye Qing. If you find it difficult, then everyone else is probably in no better shape. As long as the rankings remain the same," Luo Ye comforted her.

"you're right."

Ye Qing rested her chin on her hand and began to review the exam content for the rainy day.

In the examination room, some graduate students signed up to be proctors.

Nothing is more amusing than seeing the pained expressions on the faces of their juniors who are taking the postgraduate entrance exam.

The more people suffer, the happier they are.

Difficult, but difficult is good.

Anyway, we've already taken the test.

Having been caught in the rain myself, when I see others getting wet, I just wish the rain would pour down even harder.

Exciting, fun, interesting.

Hahahaha.

A graduate student couldn't help but laugh out loud, and as a result, he ran a red light at the school gate and was almost hit by a car.

He was so scared that he sat down on the ground with a thud, and then got yelled at by the car owner.

"Are you blind? Don't you know you ran a red light?"

This scene made the nearby postgraduate entrance exam takers laugh.

I was just feeling frustrated because the questions were difficult, but I never expected to see something so interesting the next moment.

Soon, the day's exams came to an end.

The bookstore was unusually quiet; Luo Ye sat at the entrance all day and delivered several cases of water.

Su Baizhou moved a stool and sat down next to Luo Ye.

"Senior, after the postgraduate entrance exam, are there hardly any customers on the second floor?"

"Ah."

Su Baizhou nodded.

However, she didn't care about it.

Even the reading seats on the second floor, even the private rooms, only cost a few dozen yuan a day.

Compared to other sources of income, this is simply insignificant.

The bookstore's main income nowadays does not come from customers on the second floor.

Even the drinks and food they order are not the bookstore's biggest source of income.

It's normal for a few people to come sporadically every day. The overcrowding is a result of the postgraduate entrance exam, and it's normal for things to return to normal after the exam ends.

The bookstore's biggest source of income is always book sales.

"However, after this year's postgraduate entrance examination is over, there will be another one next year. Although there won't be many people when the exam just ended, there will be another batch of postgraduate entrance examination candidates soon."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ye sighed, "The next one."

Let's not even talk about the next batch of postgraduate entrance exam takers.

When the next batch of freshmen starts school, the senior will have already graduated with her bachelor's degree.

The next batch of freshmen will have absolutely no connection with the former aloof and beautiful senior.

It's truly moving.

of course.

Even though the school beauty is no longer at school, the senior will always be by his side.

However, how should he address his senior after she graduates?

Call me wife?

Isn't it too early?

baby?

That's too cheesy.

My little heart?

Oh dear, what an embarrassing nickname! It's a bit hard to say.

So conflicted.

A whole bunch of sweet and affectionate nicknames almost made Luo Ye's girlish heart burst forth.

"Junior brother," Su Baizhou said softly.

"What's wrong, honey?"

Luo Ye had just thought of this nickname when Su Baizhou happened to call him, so he just blurted it out.

Su Bai Congee: (?_?)

She looked at Luo Ye speechlessly, as if she didn't understand at all.

I don't know what my junior's brain is made of; he comes up with all sorts of strange ideas every day.

No wonder he became a novelist.

Noticing that he had voiced his thoughts, Luo Ye coughed lightly and asked, "What's wrong, senior?"

"We're closing up shop."

"okay!"

Luo Ye carried the several cases of bottled water from the table back to the bookstore, preparing to go home.
