During the filming of the new movie, Su Chengyang returned to her hometown to take the college entrance examination accompanied by Lin Yu and Xiao Lu.
On the day the college entrance examination began, the streets were crowded with people.
The police responsible for security set up barricades at the school gate to prevent any accidents that could affect the examinees’ mood.
Xiao Lu drove the two of them to the school gate. Su Chengyang looked back and saw her cousin brother and her future sister-in-law sitting in the back seat, whispering to each other.
“Wait for me to finish eating.” Su Chengyang finished eating the fried dough stick in her hand. Lin Yu handed her a peeled boiled egg.
Su Chengyang was afraid of wasting time, so she ate quickly. Her cheeks were bulging like a hamster, and Xiao Lu was afraid she would overeat and make herself sick.
“Slow down.” Lin Yu frowned and patted her back. When she finished gobbling up a fried dough stick and two eggs, he put the straw from the soy milk in his hand to her mouth.
Su Chengyang took a big sip, and Lin Yu wiped the residue from her mouth with his hand. “Your ID card and admission ticket are in your backpack. Don’t be nervous, it’s okay if you don’t do well.”
Su Chengyang couldn’t speak with her mouth full, so she nodded and leaned forward to kiss Lin Yu’s cheek. “Thank you.”
She mumbled.
Lin Yu directly embraced her neck and kissed her forehead heavily, saying in Italian, “Good luck.”
Xiao Lu, who was being ignored, silently watched this scene. In the six months they had been together, they initially tried to avoid public displays of affection, but recently even Su Chengyang had become shameless.
Su Chengyang waved at the two of them, put on her hat and mask, opened the car door, and jumped down like a little rabbit, running towards the school gate.
Lin Yu’s eyes followed her figure until she disappeared from sight, then he withdrew his gaze.
Xiao Lu sighed, “Didn’t they say the first three months are the honeymoon period? You two have been together for six months, why aren’t you tired of each other yet?”
Lin Yu glanced at her and said, “You’ll know once you try.”
“I…”
After dating a boyfriend in high school, she has never been in a relationship again. But can being together every day really not get boring? However, speaking of that, Su Chengyang has been busy filming recently, and her brother hasn’t seen much of Su Chengyang either, so it’s no wonder she doesn’t feel bored.
Lin Yu seemed to understand what she was thinking and said, “I won’t get tired, and I won’t let Chengyang get tired either.”
Xiao Lu shrugged, “That’s not necessarily true. Can you really control how Chengyang feels? Right now, you’re like an overprotective father with his daughter, preparing everything for Su Chengyang, and I don’t even know where you heard those superstitions from 一 one fried dough stick and two eggs1? Do you not know that the maximum score for the national college entrance examination in China is 150 points for each subject? Moreover, can Chengyang handle having a boyfriend like you, an overprotective father?”
Before Lin Yu could react, Xiao Lu shivered and said, “If my future boyfriend controls me like my dad does, I definitely wouldn’t want to stay with him.”
Lin Yu looked at her with a half-smile and said, “Just take care of yourself.”
Xiao Lu pouted, parked the car on the side of the road, and they had booked a hotel near the school. Lin Yu was picking rooms based on soundproofing and location. Xiao Lu couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“If you’re so afraid of Chengyang being disturbed, why don’t you just book the entire hotel?”
Lin Yu said, “There are many schools nearby, and there are also many students who need to rest at noon.”
Xiao Lu shrugged, “That’s true.”
Su Chengyang was in the last examination room, and her seat was also the last one. After sitting down, she took off her hat, placed her ID card and admission ticket on the desk, put her backpack on the podium, and then sat down, recalling the few math problems Qin You explained to her through video last night.
After more than six months of studying, Su Chengyang’s English had improved significantly under the dual guidance of Xiao Lu and Lin Yu. Her Chinese was passable, but when it came to math, no matter how Lin Yu or Qin You taught her, it was useless. As soon as she got slightly distracted, she couldn’t keep up with the subsequent steps.
Other candidates gradually entered the examination room one by one. Most of the candidates didn’t know each other, and they sat nervously in their respective seats. No one was whispering to each other.
Shortly after, the broadcast announced that there were fifteen minutes left until the start of the exam, reminding all candidates to use the restroom. Once the exam started, they couldn’t leave the examination room unless necessary.
Some candidates went to the bathroom, while Su Chengyang quietly recited formulas, leaning on the desk.
Because everyone was extremely nervous, no one noticed Su Chengyang in the corner. Su Chengyang pulled down the mask below her eyes, not wanting to attract the students’ attention.
Fifteen minutes later, the first exam began, and the invigilator entered the classroom with the exam papers.
The first exam was Chinese language. After distributing the papers, the students in the front row turned around and handed the paper to Su Chengyang. When she saw Su Chengyang, she clearly paused for a moment.
Su Chengyang took the paper and smiled at her.
The exam started. Su Chengyang first wrote her name and candidate number, then, following Lin Yu’s instructions, she took the paper and immediately looked at the essay topic.
Chinese was not Su Chengyang’s best subject, nor was it her worst, but passing should not be a problem.
After the first exam ended at half-past eleven, as the bell rang, Su Chengyang sighed with relief and put down her pen.
After collecting the papers, the girl in the front row suddenly turned around and asked cautiously, “Are you Su Chengyang?”
Su Chengyang had just taken her backpack from the podium and put on her hat. She hesitated for a moment upon hearing the question and placed her index finger on her mouth, gesturing for silence.
“Don’t tell anyone,” Su Chengyang curved her eyes and smiled at her.
The girl’s pupils instantly dilated, and she breathed rapidly. “You… you…”
“Don’t be nervous,” Su Chengyang comforted her, patting her shoulder. “I’m just a candidate like you.”
The girl almost became incoherent, “After the college entrance exam, can I tell others? My… my boyfriend really likes you…”
Su Chengyang nodded. “Sure! See you in the afternoon.”
“See you in the afternoon!” The girl excitedly waved her hand towards her.
Su Chengyang didn’t want to affect others with her presence, so she lowered her cap and left the classroom, carrying her backpack.
Originally, she didn’t want Lin Yu to accompany her today, finding him too conspicuous. However, Lin Yu insisted on coming and even tempted her with a hotpot dinner after the exam. Unable to resist the temptation, Su Chengyang allowed him to come.
To appear more low-key, Lin Yu even bought a Volkswagen car specifically to pick up and drop off Su Chengyang. It was ordinary and inconspicuous. He also promised Su Chengyang that he would never get out of the car when picking her up.
Su Chengyang walked out of the school gate in the crowd and saw Xiao Lu sitting in the car, waving at her from a distance. She looked up, quickened her pace, and walked over.
Opening the car door, she got in and took off her hat. Lin Yu handed her an open bottle of mineral water.
Su Chengyang was really thirsty and didn’t want to do it herself, so she took a sip from Lin Yu’s hand.
“I’m so tired.” Su Chengyang leaned back in the seat and took a deep breath after finishing the drink.
Lin Yu closed the bottle cap and used his warm fingertips to wipe off the water stains at the corner of her mouth. He didn’t ask how she did on the exam but said, “What do you want to eat for lunch? Afterward, you can take a nap.”
“Spicy hotpot.” Su Chengyang immediately replied without hesitation.
She hadn’t had spicy hotpot in a long time and really craved it.
Lin Yu glanced at her and used his hand to tidy up her messy hair caused by the cap, saying, “That’s not possible.”
Su Chengyang frowned, feeling a bit unhappy. “Then why did you ask me?”
Recently, Lin Yu had spoiled Su Chengyang, and her temper had grown quite a bit. Xiao Lu, the silent bystander in the front seat, shook her head while watching.
She suspected that Lin Yu intended to spoil her so much that she wouldn’t be able to live without him.
Ha! A scheming man.
Lin Yu held the person in his arms, with his chin against her forehead, as if comforting her, and said, “No exam in the afternoon? What if you have an upset stomach?”
Su Chengyang’s stomach was kept particularly healthy by him, and she had been eating light recently. If she suddenly ate something greasy and stimulating, she might indeed have an upset stomach.
“There’s a Chinese restaurant nearby. How about having Chinese food?”
His deep and pleasant voice was right by her ear, and the warmth almost brushed against Su Chengyang’s earlobe. She quietly used her claws to touch her ear and responded with an “Oh.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Xiao Lu couldn’t bear it anymore and made a sound from the front row, catching the attention of the two.
“Cousin brother, sister-in-law, I’m still alive, can you consider the feelings of us single dogs a bit?”
Su Chengyang, still not used to Lin Yu’s thick-skinned behavior, pushed him away when she heard Xiao Lu’s words. Fortunately, Lin Yu didn’t insist and let go of her hand.
Lin Yu casually said, “Haven’t you been chatting well with your ex-boyfriend recently?”
Xiao Lu was stunned and looked at him in horror, “How do you know?”
Lin Yu placed his hand on Su Chengyang’s shoulder and flicked her hair with his fingers, saying lightly, “I heard it from Chengyang.”
Su Chengyang’s body stiffened, and she looked at Lin Yu in disbelief, moving her lips silently, “You betrayed me!”
Lin Yu remained unchanged in expression.
“Su Chengyang!!” Xiao Lu roared angrily, “How did you know?”
Su Chengyang smiled awkwardly and said, “I overheard you talking to him on the phone a couple of days ago.”
“Alright, let’s go eat,” Lin Yu interrupted the two of them.
Su Chengyang gave him a glare and discreetly reached for his waist, intending to pinch him, but Lin Yu stopped her halfway.
After finishing lunch and returning to the hotel, Su Chengyang attempted several math problems but kept making mistakes. She was already lying down, feeling that there was no subject harder than math in the world. She thought it would be difficult to pass this exam.
As expected, after finishing the math exam in the afternoon, Su Chengyang walked out of the examination room with a dejected look.
Opening the car door and sitting inside, Lin Yu noticed that she didn’t look well. He ruffled her hair and said, “You did your best. They studied for three years, but you’ve only been studying for less than a year. It’s already impressive that you’ve come this far.”
Xiao Lu nodded in agreement, “Yeah, don’t worry about the exam anymore. It’s not important. What do you want to eat tonight? My brother will treat us.”
Su Chengyang lifted her sparkling eyes and looked at Lin Yu, blinking with anticipation. She said, “I want a KFC family bucket.”
Seeing her expectant and nervous expression, Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh, “Alright.”
“That’s great!” Su Chengyang smiled brightly.
That radiant smile was enough to make anyone’s heart flutter.
Lin Yu secretly pinched his palm, suppressing his desires. It wasn’t the right time yet.
“Lu Yin, let’s go.”
“Let’s go! Time for fried chicken!”
That night, to avoid disturbing Su Chengyang’s sleep, the three of them had separate rooms. Lin Yu didn’t stay in her room for long and didn’t make her study. He accompanied her in bed until 9:30 PM, then ordered her to go to sleep.
Su Chengyang obediently nodded and leaned against him, falling asleep.
After confirming that Su Chengyang was asleep, Lin Yu bent down and gently kissed her forehead before leaving the room as quiet as a mouse.
In the corridor, Lin Yu took out his phone, which had been set to silent mode for a long time. There were several missed calls and messages. Lin Yu dialed the topmost number.
After a moment, the call was answered.
“Hello, Dad.”
“Chengyang is asleep.”
“Yeah, she’s doing fine today. The result doesn’t matter.”
. . . . .
The next morning was the comprehensive literature and art exam, followed by the English exam in the afternoon.
Every time the exam papers were distributed, the girls in the front row would exchange mysterious glances with Su Chengyang, like secret agents rendezvousing, making it all very mysterious. The invigilator might have noticed and thought there was some unspeakable secret between them, occasionally casting glances in Su Chengyang’s direction.
The invigilator glanced at Su Chengyang’s admission ticket, knowing her identity. They probably assumed she was a public figure and wouldn’t do anything embarrassing. After a brief look, they shifted their attention away.
During the English exam in the afternoon, Su Chengyang was in complete control. She finished all the previous questions within an hour, leaving only the final essay.
After completing the assignment, with some time left before collecting the exam papers, she double-checked her work.
When the bell signaling the end of the exam rang, most of the students in the examination hall let out a sigh of relief. The two-day college entrance examination finally came to an end, giving them a brief respite from their busy studies.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Just as the answer sheets were being collected, a girl in front suddenly screamed, capturing the attention of everyone else in the classroom.
Su Chengyang was startled, and her hand froze while putting on her hat.
“You… can you sign an autograph for me… My boyfriend will be here soon…”
The woman took out a pen and a photo from her bag.
Sitting nervously, Su Chengyang glanced around the other corners of the classroom. Seeing everyone staring at them intently, Su Chengyang lowered her head and quickly put on her hat. She whispered, “Okay, speak softly…”
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
“Su Chengyang!”
“Is that Su Chengyang?”
However, before Su Chengyang could finish speaking, the classroom suddenly erupted with a continuous scream.
The exams in the surrounding classrooms were also drawn to the commotion.
“Su Chengyang?”
“What? Su Chengyang?”
Su Chengyang: “…”
“Oh my god! It really is Su Chengyang!”
“Su Chengyang is taking the college entrance examination in our school!!!”
In less than five minutes, the news of Su Chengyang’s appearance in the examination room spread throughout the school.
Lin Yu and Xiao Lu stood at the school gate, waiting for a long time. Although the exam had already ended, there were only a few people coming out. Anxious parents waiting outside were eagerly anticipating their arrival.
Finally, they saw the first candidate approaching the school gate.
The crowd was extremely excited, watching the candidate walk towards the gate, preparing to greet them. Suddenly, the candidate paused.
He widened his eyes, looked at his phone, and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh my god! Su Chengyang is in the school?”
The candidate looked up at a couple by the roadside, threw his backpack at them, and said, “Mom, my goddess is here, I have to go and see.”
After saying that, the candidate turned his head and ran towards the teaching building.
The many parents who had been waiting outside for a long time said, “…”
“That child just said… Su Chengyang is inside?”
“Really? My daughter keeps mentioning this Su Chengyang at home.”
“My child does too.”
“That explains why the exam ended and no one came out.”
. . . . .
Lin Yu and Xiao Lu felt helpless and wanted to laugh.
Lin Yu said to Xiao Lu, “You go and bring the car over.”
They had originally thought that this was the last exam and they weren’t afraid of exposing their identities, so they didn’t even drive the car. Who would have known that Su Chengyang would be recognized before even leaving the examination hall, and judging by the situation, it had caused quite a stir.
“Okay,” Xiao Lu responded and left.
Lin Yu walked to the side of the caution line at the entrance, amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd. A vigilant police officer responsible for guarding observed him vigilantly.
“Who?”
Lin Yu handed his business card to the police officer and said, “I am Su Chengyang’s boyfriend and manager. I came to pick her up and take her home. She encountered some trouble inside.”
The police officer glanced at him and then asked a nearby junior police officer, “Don’t you like Su Chengyang? Take him inside.”
“Yes.”
Lin Yu politely smiled at the police officer.
After being escorted into the school by the junior police officer, they quickly found Su Chengyang’s location because almost all the students were gathering in one direction.
The junior police officer was also puzzled by the situation and worried about any accidents, so he used the radio to call for colleagues to help evacuate the crowd.
Seeing the dense crowd blocking the stairwell on the first floor, Lin Yu furrowed his brow. Fortunately, the exam room where Chengyang was located was on the first floor. If it were higher, accidents would be more likely to occur.
“Don’t push, don’t push.”
“It would be bad if something happened.”
“Don’t push!”
A few shouts came from the crowd.
Lin Yu was relatively tall and could vaguely see the situation inside the classroom. The people gathered around a seat didn’t show any extreme reactions. The classroom seemed more organized than outside. They entered through the back door and exited through the front door, probably because Su Chengyang was sitting there signing autographs and taking pictures with them.
Realizing that Su Chengyang was not in any serious danger, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to the junior police officer next to him and said, “Sir, could you please go up and maintain order? Don’t scare them.”
The junior police officer nodded, and just as several colleagues arrived, they stood at the edge of the crowd, ensuring they lined up in an orderly manner to prevent any stampede accidents.
Lin Yu looked around and saw that both entrances of the classroom were crowded with people.
After everyone had lined up in an orderly manner at the back door, he walked through the middle and said, “Excuse me, I’m Chengyang’s manager. Could you please make way?”
In the noisy crowd, many of the candidates turned their heads in unison upon hearing his voice.
“Lin Yu?”
“Wow! Is it really Lin Yu? He looks much better than in the photos.”
“So this is the guy who stole my girlfriend?”
“I have to admit, he’s really handsome.”
