1111 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (II)
AFTER the quick greetings, both elders started to fuss over Luo Yan and Yu Jiao. With both Luo Ren and Luo Jin adding commentary on the side. Luo Ren giving advice was understandable since it had only been five years since he took the college entrance exam. But when Luo Jin did the same, it only came off as funny and adorable.
And soon, it was time for the students to enter the school.
"Good luck, you two. No matter the outcome, we are proud of you."
"Don't be too nervous, just do your best. Remember that you're not alone. We're just here, quietly supporting you."
"Focus completely during the exam. Don't get distracted. And make sure to eat everything in your lunchbox, as well as your snacks."
"Trust in your abilities. Answer the questions just as you've done during mock exams. You've got this."
Luo Yan felt a warmth in his heart from everyone's words. In his previous life, when he took the college entrance examination, no one was there for him. The director had wanted to accompany him, but he declined because many children at the orphanage were suffering from summer colds. He believed they needed her more than he did.
But this... this was nice.
He smiled. "We will do our best. Right, Jiao Jiao?"
Yu Jiao nodded with determination.
The two of them thanked everyone before walking inside the school. As they walked among the other students, Luo Yan noticed that Yu Jiao's hands were shaking. She must be really nervous.
He gently tapped her arm. "Jiao Jiao, did you see the watch Brother is wearing? He must really like that watch since he'd been wearing it for months now."
As he expected, Yu Jiao's whole face turned red at the mention of the watch. It was her gift to Luo Ren, that's why Luo Yan purposely mention it. This way, all the worrying thoughts in her mind would vanish and the nervousness she felt would also disappear. Seeing as how she stopped shaking and only blushed, it seemed that his strategy was correct.
Who knew thoughts of Luo Ren would be that distracting? Or maybe it only worked because it's Yu Jiao?
When they entered the school building, they had to follow the staff to their designated classroom. Luo Yan and Yu Jiao were not assigned to the same classroom, so they had to separate.
"Jiao Jiao, fighting!"
Yu Jiao nodded and also raised her arm with his hand clenched. "Fighting!"
Then the two of them followed the staff, who would lead them to their designated classroom together with the other students.
Luo Yan entered his designated classroom and immediately scanned the room to find his assigned seat. Each desk had a name tag, and after a brief search, he spotted his name and settled into his seat.
Shortly after, a proctor approached him to verify his identity. Luo Yan handed over his admission ticket and identification card. The proctor carefully checked his documents before nodding and moving on to the next student.
Next, the proctors began distributing the examination materials. Luo Yan received his exam paper and answer sheet. He carefully arranged them on his desk, making sure everything was in order.

Next, the proctors began distributing the examination materials. Luo Yan received his exam paper and answer sheet. He carefully arranged them on his desk, making sure everything was in order.
"Attention, students," the voice of the proctor standing at the front rang out, commanding the room's attention. "Before we commence, I will provide you with important instructions for the examination. Please listen carefully."
"As you begin your exam, remember to strictly adhere to the rules outlined in your examination booklet," the proctor continued, scanning the room to ensure every student was attentive. "Any attempt to cheat or communicate with other students will result in immediate disqualification."
"Once the exam starts, you will have the allotted time to complete each section," the proctor emphasized, his tone firm but fair. "I will announce when there are ten minutes remaining, so manage your time wisely."
"Additionally, any unauthorized materials, including electronic devices, must remain out of reach and turned off for the duration of the exam," the proctor reminded them, his gaze sweeping across the room to enforce compliance.
"Now, take a moment to review your examination materials," the proctor instructed, gesturing to the papers on each student's desk. "Ensure that your exam paper is complete and that you have everything you need before we officially begin."
With a final nod of assurance, the proctor concluded, "Once you're ready, you may start. Best of luck to all of you."
Luo Yan took a deep breath and then opened his exam paper.

Shen Ji Yun was busily moving around the kitchen. He was busily making lunch and also baking a cake on the side. He felt like if he didn't keep himself busy, he would only be a mess of nerves. That's how nervous he was.
Even though he wasn't the one taking the college entrance exam right now, it almost felt like he was whenever he thought of Luo Yan. Knowing him, he probably wasn't fazed in the slightest. Recalling Luo Yan's bright expression from their video call last night, it was evident he wasn't nervous at all. In fact, he seemed excited, as if he couldn't wait to take the test and be done with it.
That's definitely not a bad thing. It would ensure that he could retain calmness as he took the exam. But Shen Ji Yun still couldn't help but be nervous for him.
It's not like he didn't have any trust in Luo Yan's ability. He was simply worried because he loved him. It's just something that came to him naturally. How good it would be if he could be there - to wait while Luo Yan was taking the exam and then welcome him when it ended.
But since he couldn't do that, he decided to just go to the nearby temple and offer them the food he made. So he prepared a variety of homemade dishes, infusing each one with his heartfelt prayers for Luo Yan's success.
Though he couldn't be there in person, he hoped this gesture would convey his unwavering support for his beloved boyfriend.
