Under the tense and thrilling atmosphere, the third year of junior high flashed by in an instant.
Wei Rong sighed with a sad face, "Why does it feel like time has gone by so much faster than in the first and second years?"
Jun Feifei also spoke with sorrow, "The day after tomorrow is the middle school entrance exam, sigh, we don’t know if we can continue to be in the same school afterward."
Qu Ruorui said softly, "You’re worried about whether you can be in the same school as your brother Zhuang Lan."
Caught in her own thoughts, Jun Feifei immediately pounced to cover Qu Ruorui’s mouth.
"Timid Qu, I think you’re getting bolder by the day, daring to say anything."
Qu Ruorui giggled and hid behind Yue Qingqing.
After a while of playful banter, the sadness in their hearts seemed to fade a bit.
All students’ examination rooms were randomly assigned, so nobody knew who would be in the same room as them, which maximized the prevention of cheating.
The students taking the exam in their own school had a home-ground advantage due to familiar surroundings.
The third-year students who had to go to other schools for their exams needed to scope out the location in advance to avoid getting lost on the day.
The location on Yue Qingqing’s admission ticket was a classroom in Zhuancheng No.2 Middle School.
Yue Jiandong and Zhang Ying took a day off work the day before the exam to drive their child to see the examination room.
Yue Qingqing never expected to bump into Qian Wentao here.
Before Yue Qingqing could speak, Qian Wentao had already snorted coldly, as if meeting her was a great disgrace.
Qian Wentao’s mother, who accompanied him, saw this and asked.
"Xiaotao, is this your classmate?"
Qian Wentao sneered, "Cut, she’s not my classmate. She’s Yue Qingqing, a student of Duan Wenzhen."
Upon hearing the name Duan Wenzhen, the woman also pursed her lips, showing a lack of interest in engaging further.
Zhang Ying was surprised by the other party’s impoliteness.
Yue Qingqing was well-liked at school, and this was the first time she encountered such an attitude.
Yue Qingqing didn’t show any expression, just walked around the examination room to confirm her seat, then left with her parents.
Back in the car, Yue Jiandong couldn’t resist asking, "Who is that kid?"
"A defeated opponent, no need to pay him any more attention," Yue Qingqing was too lazy to recount the events to her parents.
She was generally quite tolerant with children.
But a kid like Qian Wentao, arrogant just because he had a bit of talent and clearly not having faced life’s hard knocks, was really annoying.
Seeing her daughter’s rare display of pettiness, Zhang Ying smiled and pinched Yue Qingqing’s cheek.
"Then you have to surpass him in the middle school exams."
"Of course!" Yue Qingqing clenched her fists eagerly, determined to win the bet for Teacher Duan this time.
While Yue Qingqing was full of confidence, Qian Wentao felt distracted and irritated.
He was already wary of Yue Qingqing, and the thought of being in the same examination room as her made him feel sick to his stomach.
It affected his mood for the upcoming exam.
After returning home, he told Qian Zheng about the situation.
Qian Zheng’s eyes suddenly flashed, "You said you’re in the same examination room?"
Qian Wentao complained, "Yeah, I ran into her at the entrance to the classroom. It’s so annoying, like a lingering ghost! I don’t know how it could be such a coincidence."
But Qian Zheng suddenly smiled slightly, "It seems we’re in luck."
Qian Wentao didn’t understand, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
Qian Zheng raised an eyebrow, "I’m assigned to invigilate at the No. 2 Middle School, and I was only supposed to get the information of my assigned examination room tomorrow morning."
But now that he knew the examination room of his nephew and Yue Qingqing, he could manipulate things tonight to get assigned to that room.
Qian Wentao might not have heard the full plan, but he was smart enough to realize something, and he immediately clenched his fist.
"That’s great, with Uncle there, I’ll definitely not be surpassed by that girl!"
