1112 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (III)
AFTER students finished the Chinese Language and Literature subject, proctors systematically moved through the exam halls, collecting the completed exam papers. They proceeded row by row, collecting each paper from the students, checking for any stray marks or incomplete sections.
The proctors maintained a calm and orderly demeanor as they gathered the papers, ensuring that each one was accounted for and handled with care. Once all the papers had been collected, they were securely sealed. And this marked the end of the first subject.
One of the proctors stepped forward and addressed the classroom. "Attention, students. Please remain in your seats. You may eat your packed lunches quietly while staying within the classroom. Remember to maintain silence and avoid discussing the exam until the break ends."
Luo Yan took a deep breath and put all his pens and erasers in his pencil case and put it back in his bag. Then he took out his packed lunch. It was a two-tiered lunch box.
In the top tier, he found a serving of steamed jasmine rice, fluffy and aromatic, accompanied by tender slices of stir-fried chicken with colorful bell peppers and crunchy snow peas, seasoned with a light soy sauce glaze. Alongside the chicken was a small container of stir-fried bok choy, vibrant green and crisp. In the bottom tier was a portion of homemade vegetable dumplings, filled with a flavorful mixture of finely chopped cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms.
Luo Yan could feel the gazes of some of the students on his packed lunch. An awkward laugh almost escaped his lips. Imagine what the reaction of the other students would be if what he brought was a five tiered lunch box like what his father wanted him to initially bring. Even the proctors would have probably stared at him, wondering if he was flaunting that his family was rich, or he was simply a glutton. Either reason would be too embarrassing.
Ignoring the gazes of others, he silently started eating. Hopefully, he wouldn't get indigestion from all the staring. He hoped Yu Jiao was having a better time than him. For her, who could easily get nervous, a peaceful lunch would be the best.
As he ate, he wondered what the other members of the family were doing.
----------
The rest of the Luo family, along with Ji Xiuying, were all waiting at a small cafe directly in front of the school where Luo Yan and Yu Jiao were taking an exam. Considering its location, there should be more people inside. But surprisingly, only the four were there. Ji Xiuying heard from Luo Ren that they reserved the whole place for two days.
Hearing that, Ji Xiuying was reminded that the Luo family was one of the richest family in S City. Something that she mostly forgot because of how... normal they were in comparison to other rich people she had met during her marriage with Mo Guang Li.
Anyway, she wasn't particularly against them reserving this whole place for the duration of the college entrance exam. At least, they could wait here in peace, without other parents' nervousness affecting them.
Since it was lunchtime, they were also having their lunch now. But none of them were really in the mood to eat. Because they were all worried about Luo Yan and Yu Jiao.
"They will be fine, right? Both Xiao Yan and Jiao Jiao?" Luo Wei Tian asked.
"I'm sure they will be, Dad," Luo Ren said. "Both of them are at the top of their class. They also spent a lot of time reviewing and studying. As long as they keep their calm, they would do well."
"Brother is right. Worrying here non-stop would not help anyone. It would only give us indigestion," Luo Jin said. "It's better to just finish our lunch."
But even after saying that, he still didn't eat and just stabbed at his food.
Ji Xiuying smiled inwardly watching the three. If one saw them like this, they wouldn't think first of their status, but how normal they seemed as a family. She glanced at Luo Ren.
If her daughter would be a part of this family in the future, then she probably wouldn't suffer the same way she did when she marry into the Mo family. Of course, that didn't mean she would force Yu Jiao to agree to be with Luo Ren just because she thought it would be better for Yu Jiao.
At the end, it would all depend on her daughter's decision. Whatever Yu Jiao decided, as her mother, she would just silently support her.
"I think Xiao Jin is right," she just said in response to what Luo Jin said earlier. "Let's all eat so we will have energy later to welcome both Yan Yan and Jiao Jiao."
The three men of the Luo family seemed convinced by that and finally ate their food in earnest.
----------
Hours passed, and the first day of the college entrance exam finally ended. Students began to walk out of the classroom, looking tired but relieved. Some stretched their arms and legs after sitting for so long, while others chatted quietly with friends about the test. Backpacks were slung over shoulders, and a few students glanced at their phones to check messages from family and friends.
The hallway buzzed with a mix of exhaustion and the slight anticipation of what tomorrow's exams would bring. Despite the fatigue, there was a sense of accomplishment in the air as they made their way out of the school building.
Among these students were Luo Yan and Yu Jiao. Just like the rest, they were also discussing the exam and their answers to some of the hard questions. Yu Jiao showed a relieved expression whenever she heard that she and Luo Yan had the same answer. Especially in some of the Math problems.
As soon as they walked out of the school building, they immediately saw Luo Yan's family, as well as Yu Jiao's mother, waiting for them. It's hard not to see them when they had the three tallest men standing together amongst the crowd.
Both Luo Yan and Yu Jiao quickly ran towards the four.
