Chapter 158: Chapter 157: Galaxy Sleep Guard Team!
The sudden closeness of her younger daughter caught Fu Man off guard for a moment, her face filling with a tender and contented smile.
Lu Xinnuan pouted and kissed her on the cheek, “Mom, wait for my good news!”
Fu Man kept repeating “Okay,” her joy clearly overflowing.
Lu Xinnuan swept a stealthy glance at Lu Mian, her eyes tinged with vengeful satisfaction.
What she possessed, Lu Mian did not.
What she was now enjoying, Lu Mian did not have.
Anything that could even slightly affect Lu Mian’s performance was a pleasure for her to witness.
Fu Man, unaware of her thoughts, gently fixed Lu Xinnuan’s ponytail and wrapped her coat around her with utmost care.
But as she turned her head, she inadvertently caught sight of that slender, cool figure.
All her movements froze mid-air, her expression stiff, her throat dry and unable to produce a sound.
Only by reading her lips could one tell that she had called out two words: Mianmian…
Lu Mian didn’t even spare a glance as she passed by expressionlessly.
Fu Man’s eyes followed her, wanting to say something, do something, but then she saw Lu Xinnuan on the other side, anxiously rummaging through her school bag and asking, “Mom, have you seen my admission ticket?”
“Admission ticket? Mom will find it for you!”
“Yeah, help me, they’re about to start letting us into the exam room.”
Standing alone, Lu Mian indeed appeared quite different from the other candidates. While others were surrounded by encouraging parents, she leaned against the wall from a distance, neither reviewing nor speaking, just playing games on her phone. The only thing she fidgeted with was a pen in her hand.
Occasionally, candidates would steal glances at her, full of sympathy.
The exam room doors soon opened, and the candidates began to line up, entering after inspection by the proctors.
Parents also positioned themselves to the side, waving hands and offering their children the last bits of encouragement.
Lu Mian stood off at a distance, preferring to wait and be the last one to enter due to the crowd.
Lu Xinnuan and Fu Man let out a sigh, making conversation, “She’s still so antisocial, doesn’t fit in at all.”
Fu Man glanced in that direction but said nothing.
Lu Xinnuan was secretly elated.
However, her joy didn’t last two seconds before she saw a large group of about twenty students suddenly rushing toward the exam room.
They ran over and, as they approached Lu Mian, they stopped and neatly held up signs.

Lu Xinnuan’s expression immediately fell.
Lu Mian lazily lifted her eyes, retracted the pen to her palm, slightly surprised.
Pang Hao and Shouhao approached with smiles, “Mian, all these are part of your fanboys and fangirls!”
“Yeah Mian, today’s your big day, so we specially selected twenty representatives to come cheer you on!”
Lu Mian pocketed her phone, the corners of her mouth curling up in a slight arc, softly uttering,
“You guys have too much free time!”
Yet, her tone was gentle and mellow, enrapturing the boys and making the girls shriek with excitement.
“We even have a loud name!” Pang Hao signaled to the group behind him, “We are—”
“The Galaxy Mian Protection Squad!”
Lu Mian: “…” That’s, uh, pretty cringey.
“And Mian, my dad also came!” Pang Hao puffed out his chest and waved toward the large group.
A slightly round-bellied middle-aged man in uniform then stepped forward from behind.
Lu Mian abruptly paused, her hand clenching the pen tensed up, emmm…
What was Deputy Director Guo Shuitian doing here?
