Chapter 112
After the two finished getting ready, they went out together to grab some breakfast.
Then they continued on their way to school, preparing to take the English oral exam on the ninth.
The early morning sunlight spilled through the clouds, bringing a trace of warmth to the earth and evaporating the overnight moisture.
Along the way, Ye Zhenzhen's face looked a bit grim, as if someone owed her millions.
Sensing that the young girl's mood was not very beautiful at the moment,
Gu Ran naturally kept silent, quietly following behind her.
He didn't dare say a single word, afraid he would be sentenced to death just for stepping with his left foot first.
The girl walking in front slowed down more and more, her brows furrowing deeper as a feeling of dissatisfaction clouded her heart.
This guy...
Is he just going to not say a word?
Bastard!
Absolute bastard!
Gu Ran's silence made her increasingly angry, and she unconsciously kicked away a pebble in front of her.
This scene once again scared the boy behind her into shrinking his neck.
Violent girl?!
Hiss, I can't afford to provoke her, I can't afford to provoke her...
Seeing this, Gu Ran fell even further back, following slower and slower.
But the further back he stayed, the more irritable the aloof and irritable girl became.
Her delicate, pretty face was covered in frost.
...
Along the way, Gu Ran kept his dog head tucked in, maintaining a safe distance behind his sister.
Finally, as the exam time approached, they barely arrived at the school.
The irritable girl didn't have time to bicker with him, walking briskly toward the examination room.
Although her heart was still restless and annoyed, Ye Zhenzhen tried hard to calm herself down.
After all, as a top student, she would go all out regardless of how big or small the exam was.
The two walked into their respective exam rooms and got ready. When the bell rang,
The oral exam officially began, meaning the final leg of this year's college entrance examination had entered its countdown.
In this era, the English oral exam was mostly a formality.
It wasn't difficult even for ordinary students, let alone for the two of them.
There was no need to mention the top-student girl. As for Gu Ran, his years of experience from the future
Allowed him to rely on his solid foundation and daily accumulation to easily and fluently show off in front of the examiner.
The morning passed quickly. The oral exam ended, and the entire college entrance examination drew to a close.
The moment she walked out of the exam room, Ye Zhenzhen's mood seemed to have improved a bit.
Perhaps it was because the exam went smoothly, or perhaps the pressure in her heart had been released.
In short, a trace of a smile finally appeared on her face, like a snow lotus blooming on a high mountain, or like peach blossoms blown open by the spring breeze—not that dazzling, but incredibly moving.
The college entrance exam, this great mountain pressing down on them, was finally over...
She put her hands behind her back and walked cheerfully toward the small grove.
She didn't even need to guess to know that the annoying guy was definitely already waiting there.
She didn't know how he practiced it, but that guy could always almost be out of the school gates before the bell even finished ringing.
It was probably an exclusive skill developed from skipping school too much...
Thinking of this, she wrinkled her nose, her footsteps still cheerful.
But the next second, the smile on her face instantly vanished.
Transforming back into her usual self, that high-mountain flower that could only be admired from afar and not played with.
"Hey, hey, don't fight over it, one by one. Add me first, and then I'll push Gu Ran's contact to you all."
Ye Jinliang tried hard to maintain order, taking the opportunity to add the QQ numbers of one girl after another.
Fending off a flock of chattering girls, he was busy, but incredibly happy.
Having lived for so many years, only today did he feel that he hadn't lived in vain; he had simply reached the peak of his life.
But the main character of the event, the culprit who caused this mob,
Was currently leaning against a tree trunk with one hand in his pocket, watching the scene with great interest.
But the more he put on this lazy appearance, the more girls flocked to him, making the girl watching from afar get black lines on her forehead.
What was wrong with these girls' eyes?
There was a living dog standing right there, and they actually thought it was worth fighting over to get his contact info.
Although this dog was indeed a little bit good-looking...
But the well-informed sister felt that it was just so-so.
Her own brother was making a fool of himself...
"Ahem."
Walking slowly to the scene that looked like a fan meet-and-greet, she cleared her throat.
She was just about to shoo these girls away so they wouldn't fall victim to a scumbag in the future,
When she found that the group of girls clearly paused upon seeing her, and then their eyes lit up.
W-what is the situation?
Being stared at a bit strangely, the aloof girl couldn't help but take two steps back.
Mainly, she was afraid of getting her face scratched by her stupid brother's crazy admirers...
She had heard at least a little about how terrifying brain-dead fans could be.
"I-is that Ye Zhenzhen?!"
"Wow, the god!"
"Top student, top student, can I add your QQ number?"
"Yeah, yeah, boss, can I add your QQ number?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "???"
"Ah, eh?"
The aloof girl's eyes were full of confusion, but she still maintained a calm expression on her face; this was the self-cultivation of a high-mountain flower.
However, for a moment, she couldn't understand the thought process of the girls in front of her.
How did it turn into adding her QQ number?
Weren't they... Gu 'Dog' Ran's pursuers?
There were naturally many people in this group who had a secret crush on Gu Ran.
However, people valued self-awareness. Although they admired him, they were not brain-dead.
With so many people grouped together, who would Gu Ran even agree to?
Not to mention they had long heard that Gu Ran was paired up with the grade's number one high-mountain flower.
No one was a fool; how could they think they were better than the high-mountain flower?
And while she was confused, the boy leaning against the tree trunk found his target.
With a smile on his lips and his arms crossed, he quietly watched to see how she would wrap this up, his intention to watch a good show glaringly obvious.
Noticing his gaze, Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and frowned.
Staring at Gu Ran not far away, she gritted her teeth, and the thought that one must beat their younger brother early surfaced again.
Dog!
But now was not the time to bicker with her dog brother. She turned her head,
Twitched the corners of her mouth, and began to deal with the flock of girls in front of her...
...
...
Hainan.
Gu Xiangcheng and Ye Shulian were currently enjoying their honeymoon trip to the fullest.
The warm sunlight spilled onto the golden beach.
The waves gently lapped against the coastline, and gusts of wind brought a salty yet fresh breath that refreshed the mind.
Gu Xiangcheng lay comfortably on the beach chair, his face brimming with satisfaction and relaxation.
So comfortable~
This vacation is awesome...
He closed his eyes, feeling the warm sunlight, his mood exceptionally cheerful.
However, Ye Shulian beside him seemed a bit worried.
She stared at the distant sea, worrying about the two children at home.
"Why do you look so worried?"
Noticing her expression, Gu Xiangcheng took off his sunglasses and asked with a strange look on his face.
"Lao Gu, I just checked the weather forecast. There was a rainstorm back home last night. I wonder how Zhenzhen and Xiao Ran are doing?"
Ye Shulian turned around, her face full of worry.
Just... a rainstorm?
Those who didn't know would think their home was flooded...
Gu Xiangcheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but quickly reined it in.
He knew she had never traveled far from home, and since it was her first time leaving the kids for so long, she was exceptionally anxious.
Compared to him, Gu Ran had been thrown at home who knows how many times since he was young, so he obviously had no other worries.
This kid must be living it up at home right now!
He then smiled faintly, reaching out to pull Ye Shulian into his embrace to comfort her.
"Don't worry. They are grown up now and can take good care of themselves.
Besides, Gu Ran is at home. I've been training him to handle things since he was a kid, so he can definitely take good care of Zhenzhen."
Gu Ran... taking care of Ye Zhenzhen?
Ye Shulian's expression turned a bit peculiar upon hearing this, but she ultimately kept quiet.
Perhaps she was just worrying over nothing...
Seeing that she had let go of her anxiety, Gu Xiangcheng brought over two lemon slices, placed them over her eyes, and went back to enjoying their leisurely time.
"Come on, try this. It feels absolutely amazing!"
