Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 209 College Entrance Examination

On the first day of the holiday, Xu Chuning, Shen Yubai and others did not go anywhere. They stayed in Shen Sinian's house to do the final check and fill in the gaps.

The next day, they went to see the examination room.

After watching it, the group wanted to eat out, but considering that they had the college entrance examination the next day and that if they ate unclean food outside, intestinal problems could be very serious, the group went to Xu Chuning's restaurant instead.

Seeing them coming, You Shuzhen went into the kitchen to cook for them herself.

The restaurant is getting better and better. You Shuzhen now spends less time cooking herself. Most of the time, she is studying the dishes. The restaurant has professional chefs for cooking.

"Oh my God, I haven't eaten Aunt You's cooking for a long time." Cheng Mingyin sighed.

Deng Xitong nodded. "I brought my parents here twice before, and they both said Aunt You's cooking was delicious."

Xu Chu Ning listened to their praises, and the corners of his lips curved up, "During the two days of the college entrance examination, your parents should send you meals, right?"

"Yes." Deng Xitong said, "My parents have both asked for leave."

Cheng Mingyin nodded, "My parents too."

Several people chatted while eating.

After dinner, Deng Xitong and the others prepared to go home and rest. They wanted to go home and make final preparations.

After everyone left, Xu Chuning, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian also returned home.

"Go upstairs?" After entering the elevator, Shen Yubai looked at Xu Chu Ning.

Xu Chuning nodded, "Okay."

The three of them went to where Shen Sinian lived and sat together at the large study table.

After a moment of silence, Shen Sinian scratched his head and said, "I'm a little nervous."

Before traveling here, Shen Sinian had never experienced the college entrance examination. Now that he is about to experience it, he is really nervous.

Shen Yubai glanced at him and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

"I'm just nervous." Shen Sinian said concisely.

Xu Chu Ning burst out laughing, "Actually, I feel a little bit too."

Shen Yubai looked at her and said, "Believe in yourself."

"I believe it." Xu Chu Ning said seriously, "But it's hard to get rid of the nervous feeling."

Shen Yubai understood what they meant. He thought for a few seconds and said comfortingly, "Just treat it normally. If you really don't do well in the exam, we can study abroad together."

Shen Sinian: "I don't want to go abroad."

Xu Chuning: "I don't want to either."

Shen Yubai: "..."

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Sang Menglan called and asked them what they were doing.

Shen Yubai: "They are both nervous."

Sang Menglan: "What about you?"

"I'm thinking about something." Shen Yubai said.

Sang Menglan was slightly speechless and whispered, "You three are in the same examination room, right?"

Shen Yubai hummed, "Why are you asking this?"

"We should all cheer you up together." Sang Menglan was a little speechless to her son, "What else can I ask?"

Shen Yubai: "..."

It was also very sudden. He thought of what Sang Menglan had discussed with Ye Qiongfang before. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow and said, "Mom, don't be too exaggerated. Keep a low profile."

Sang Menglan was puzzled, "What is considered an exaggeration?"

"...Don't hang the banner." Shen Yubai reminded.

Sang Menglan: “Why?”

"It will affect other candidates." Shen Yubai said concisely.

Sang Menglan choked, "Not really, right?"

"As for that." Shen Yubai said calmly, "They are already nervous. If you make too much noise, they will get even more nervous."

After Shen Yubai said this, it seemed inappropriate for Sang Menglan to insist on hanging the banner.

She sighed softly, "Then the banner I made will be useless, right?"

"You can wait until our college entrance examination results come out before pulling it."

"That's right."

"..."

The phone call between mother and son lasted for quite a long time. When they hung up, Shen Yubai looked at the two people lying on the table in a daze and couldn't help laughing.

"Are you really that nervous?"

Xu Chuning: "I'm fine now. I'm just thinking about the questions."

Shen Yubai was speechless, "Don't think about it, let's think about what to eat tonight."

"...I'll do it?" Xu Chu Ning asked, "Do you want to eat it?"

Shen Sinian: "You have an exam tomorrow, why don't you take a break, or go to the restaurant to eat?"

Shen Yubai: "I'm fine with that. Let's go for a walk after we finish eating."

"it is good."

Perhaps it was because of the presence of Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian around her, as well as her family members who did not ask her at all about how she was preparing, Xu Chuning was not so nervous after dinner.

After the three of them finished their meal and took a walk, they went home to wash up and prepare for the exam the next day.

It's already a bit hot in Jiangcheng in June.

That night, You Shuzhen also returned home early.

When she got home, Xu Chuning had just finished taking a shower.

"Have you packed everything you need for the exam?" You Shuzhen asked.

Xu Chuning hummed, "Everything is fine, don't worry."

You Shuzhen was relieved, but she still checked Xu Chuning to make up for any omissions. After the check, she asked You Ying to help check it again.

After the three of them made sure that nothing was missed, You Shuzhen urged Xu Chuning to go to bed.

Xu Chuning nodded, "Let me read some ancient poetry."

You Shuzhen was helpless: "Okay."

Before going to bed, Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang called and said that they would come over the next morning and accompany You Shuzhen to send her to the examination room.

Xu Chuning had no objection, but she still reminded Xu Yiming not to bring his grandparents because the weather was too hot. There would be a lot of people at the school gate during the college entrance examination, and she was worried that the elderly would get heatstroke.

Xu Yiming agreed.

The night before the college entrance examination, Xu Chuning slept well. She was not so nervous that she suffered from insomnia.

The next morning, Xu Chu Ning woke up at around six o'clock.

After waking up and eating the breakfast prepared by You Shuzhen, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian at home, Xu Yiming, Ye Qiongfang, Shen Xingyan and Sang Menglan also arrived.

A group of people set out for the examination room in a mighty procession.

When they entered, Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang looked at Xu Chuning and told him, "Take it easy, don't be nervous, we will wait here for you to finish the exam."

Xu Chuning nodded and looked at You Shuzhen.

You Shuzhen reached out and hugged her. "I believe in my daughter. Go ahead. Mom believes in you, and you have to believe in yourself too."

Everyone knows how hard Xu Chuning has worked in his studies over the years.

Xu Chu Ning nodded, "See you at noon then."

"See you at noon."

When the exam room bell rang, Xu Chu Ning turned his gaze back to the window, picked up the pen beside him, and focused on the test paper in front of him.

She is calm, steady, careful and focused.

The rustling sound of pen tips touching test papers was heard in the classroom.

After the first exam, some people sighed, some sighed, and some were excited.

They still have two days of college entrance examinations, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. At noon, Xu Chuning will go to the restaurant to eat with Xu Yiming and others.

What Xu Chuning didn't expect was that, maybe some classmates were promoting the restaurant or something, but parents of students taking the college entrance examination knew that the restaurant was run by Xu Chuning's family. Many parents at Meiji Junior High School who were unable to go home to cook at noon brought their children taking the college entrance examination to the restaurant for meals.

Suddenly, the restaurant was packed.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the afternoon exam, Xu Chuning put down the pen in his hand.

She sat by the window, tilted her head to listen to the cicadas and birds chirping outside the window, then got up from her seat and left.

The college entrance examination is over.
