1113 COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (IV)
AFTER the first day of the exam, the first thing Luo Yan did when he returned home was to lie down on his bed. Although this was his second time taking the exam, it didn't mean that it wasn't as tiring or stressful.
After lying flat on his stomach for a few minutes, he took his cellphone from his bag that he had just haphazardly thrown on the side of the bed. Seeing the black screen, he remembered that he had to turn it off during the exam. It seemed that he had forgotten to turn it back on because of tiredness.
His only thought was that Shen Ji Yun must have sent a lot of messages to him by now. There would probably also be a couple of missed calls. If he didn't reply quickly and if he didn't answer once he called, the other might think something bad had happened.
So, he quickly turned on his phone, and sure enough, he had a lot of unread messages in WeChat. Most of them were from Shen Ji Yun. But to his surprise, there were no missed calls at all.
Although finding that weird, he just opened WeChat and read Shen Ji Yun's messages.
[Yan Yan, I hope you're doing okay. How did the first day go? I've been thinking about you all day, hoping it wasn't too stressful. I know you gave it your best, and that's what matters most. I just hoped I was there with you.]
[I'm so proud of you for getting through today. Remember to treat yourself to something nice for dinner and get some good rest tonight. You deserve it.]
[Just wanted to check in and see how you're feeling. No rush to reply if you're too tired. I know today must have been exhausting. Just know I'm here, cheering you on.]
[Try not to worry too much about today's exam. Focus on relaxing and recharging for tomorrow. Maybe listen to some calming music. You've earned a break.]
[No matter what, I'm incredibly proud of you. You've worked so hard. Once this is all over, let's definitely celebrate together.]
Luo Yan smiled at the messages, feeling a mix of warmth and relief. Shen Ji Yun's consistent support throughout the day was comforting. It almost felt like the other was here with him.
He quickly typed a reply.
[Brother Ji Yun, sorry for not replying sooner. Just got home and I'm exhausted. The exam went okay. Thanks for all the messages. They really helped!]
A few seconds later, his phone buzzed with a reply. As if Shen Ji Yun had been waiting for his reply all this time.
[No problem. I knew you'd do great. Rest up and don't stress too much about it. Day one is over!]
Then it was followed by a rabbit sticker dancing around with a fan as if celebrating.
Luo Yan chuckled when he saw that.
[Yeah, just one more day to go.]
Then he also sent a rabbit sticker jumping up and down. He sent another message after.
[Let's video call later after I ate dinner.]
After he sent that, Shen Ji Yun sent another quick reply.
[No. Just eat dinner and rest. But tomorrow, after your exam, can we meet in the game?]
Luo Yan smiled after reading that message. It's because they both knew that if they video called each other, it would definitely take hours before they hung up. Just like what happened last night. Shen Ji Yun must be feeling guilty for that.
He typed a reply.
[Okay.]

On the second day of the college entrance exam, everything proceeded much like the first day. Luo Yan's father and brothers remained anxious and concerned for him. Luo Ren continued to pick up Yu Jiao and her mother, and everyone waited together for Luo Yan and Yu Jiao to finish their exam.
The first subject of the morning was foreign language, and Luo Yan was quite excited about it. After all, he could finally showcase the results of his tutoring sessions with Shen Ji Yun.
He sat at his desk, calmly flipping through the foreign language exam paper. He answered each question with confidence, recalling the lessons with Shen Ji Yun. The vocabulary and grammar points felt familiar, and he moved through the reading comprehension section smoothly. For the writing task, he crafted his essay with clear arguments and precise language. As he reached the end of the paper, he double-checked his answers, satisfied with his performance.
After the foreign language exam ended, it was time for lunch. Unlike yesterday, Luo Yan was no longer fazed by the others' attention. He just ate his lunch with ease.
In the afternoon, the science exams began. Since Luo Yan planned to major in computer science in college, he was taking the science subjects instead of the humanities.
The Physics exam came first. He methodically worked through problems on mechanics and electromagnetism. Next was Chemistry, where he carefully balanced chemical equations and analyzed reaction mechanisms. Finally, the Biology exam tested his knowledge of genetics, cellular processes, and ecosystems.
With each subject, Luo Yan maintained his focus, drawing on his extensive preparation. By the end, he felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing he had given his best effort in this exam.
He walked out of the classroom and waited at the end of the hallway for Yu Jiao. Soon, he saw the other walking in his direction. He raised his hand and waved at the other. Yu Jiao smiled and rushed towards him. Based on her expression, it seemed that she did pretty well on the exam.
They walked out of the school building and joined their families.
The six of them - Luo Yan, his father, and brothers, as well as Yu Jiao and her mother - celebrated the end of the college entrance exam by having dinner at some family friendly restaurant serving authentic traditional dishes.
The day ended on a very happy note.
But this was not the end for Luo Yan. Because he still had a remaining appointment.
After returning home and washing up, Luo Yan quickly put on his VR helmet and entered the game.
