Now that He Shiyan was mentioned, Ning Xi went to look for him, so that he would be on guard so that he would not be killed by Wang Linzhang like in the previous life.

When knocking on the door, the door opened with a "squeak" sound.

Ning Xi's hand had already been stretched out, almost hitting He Shiyan's heart.

"Brother He, I have something to look for you."

He Shiyan's eyes fixed for a moment, "Come in and say."

With that said, he opened the two doors and let people in.

Ning Xi sat in front of his case and handed over the letter, "Wang Linzhang's letter mentioned you."

He Shiyan took the letter and glanced at it quickly, his brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing that he was silent, Ning Xi said, "Don't worry, I don't have any friendship with Wang Linzhang, but he is the prime minister's son now, if he comes to pester you, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

He Shiyan folded the letter and put it away, "Well, I will proceed carefully."

Ning Xi looked at the date and asked, "Isn't this year's provincial examination the first round on August [-]?"

"Yeah." He Shiyan paused, and continued: "The provincial capital is a long way away, so I have to set off at least one month in advance."

Ning Xi said casually: "Then let's go on the road ahead of time. I have handed over the matter of Anxiang to the shopkeeper's agent in the past few days. After cooperating with the White House for so long, they will not suddenly trip me up."

"Are you going to the provincial capital with me?" He Shiyan was stunned for a moment.

Ning Xi laughed out loud, "What? You want me to stay here alone?"

"No, but. The provincial capital is far away, and there are many hardships on the way." He Shiyan explained clearly to her several situations that he would encounter on the way.

Ning Xi thought for a while, "Why don't we go to the provincial capital by boat? It doesn't take so many twists and turns along the way, but I don't know if you get seasick?"

He Shiyan shook his head, "What about you?"

Ning Xi recalled the situation of taking a boat in the previous plane. At worst, she would exchange a piece of seasickness medicine with the system. She didn't want to take a carriage or ride a horse all the way. The distance was so far, it was too painful.

"I can. Brother He, do you mean that you are willing to let me take the exam with you?"

He Shiyan thought for a while, and said: "On August [-]th, the first round, on August [-]th, the second round, and on the [-]th, the third round. I have to take three exams in a row, and each exam takes three days. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. boring."

Ning Xi stood up and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I'm going to play in the city during your exam. I'll check whether the provincial capital is suitable for opening a shop to sell dark incense. We can settle down when we get to the capital."

"Anyway, you still have to go to the capital for the imperial examination and palace examination."

It was rare for He Shiyan to laugh out loud when he heard her say this, "How can you be sure that I will be able to go to high school?"

"Of course." Ning Xi deliberately leaned over and whispered, "Brother He is the best."

He Shiyan's ears felt hot, and he coughed lightly, "I'll read the book again, you should rest earlier."

"Okay, Brother He, you should also rest earlier."

……

At the end of June, Ning Xi followed He Shiyan on the big boat for the exam, and most of the boat was students who were rushing to the provincial capital to take the rural exam.

The cabin she lived in was right next to He Shiyan, and on the bow deck, the figure of Yong'an county seeing off completely disappeared from her sight.

Before boarding the boat, Ning Xi prepared more than a dozen volumes of story books and a large bag of snacks to pass the time on the boat. She could predict how boring it would be.

Those students were still studying on the boat, even He Shiyan was no exception. She was comfortable alone, but sometimes she would go to his cabin with a small package of snacks to read the scriptures.

The two look at each other without interfering with each other.

When Bai Zi asked them to come over for snacks occasionally, luckily she brought enough, and there was still a little left when they arrived in the provincial capital.

When they arrived in the provincial capital, Ning Xi realized that although they had left more than a month earlier, they were still late compared to the others.

The inns near the examination room in the provincial capital were overcrowded, and Ning Xi and He Shiyan only found one inn with vacant rooms.

"Two rooms."

"There's only one room left, do you want more?" the shopkeeper asked while thinking.

He Shiyan looked at Ning Xi, "Let's go look for other stores."

Ning Xi glanced at the sky. He was tired and didn't want to move anymore. "Just stay here, Brother He, I'm a little tired."

He Shiyan frowned.

In the end, the two still stayed in this inn. If it wasn't for the problem of only one room, it was a good choice because it was close to the examination room.

This was a room facing the street by the window, and there was only one bed in the room. He Shiyan noticed that she was already very tired, so he left the bed for her and asked the waiter to bring hot water and another quilt.

Ning Xi took a shower in the room and went to bed, intending to take a nap before going down to eat, but unexpectedly fell asleep until the next morning.

When she opened her eyes, she saw He Shiyan sleeping on the floor.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of some carriage wheels coming in from the window was mixed with human voices, but they were not very audible.

Ning Xi looked at He Shiyan, and got out of bed lightly. Seeing his long black hair falling softly on the side of the pillow, she couldn't help squatting down and curling a handful with her fingers.

His hair grows really well.

After hard work, he will spend the night on the ground.

Ning Xi got dressed, stroked her flat stomach and went out to have breakfast.

When he came back after breakfast, He Shiyan was about to go out, "Xiaoxi, I'm going to report to the exam room to get the exam paper."

"Then go quickly, I'll go shopping." Ning Xi waved to him.

After He Shiyan went out, she wandered the market alone for a long time, and when she returned to the inn, she was so tired that she fell asleep on the bed. She wanted to have lunch with him when he came back, but she fell asleep again.

When He Shiyan came back with the test paper, he opened the door and saw a pair of embroidered shoes in front of the bed. He couldn't help but burn his ears.

She has been with her all the time, and she will live in the same inn again. After all, it will damage her reputation.

If she doesn't want to call off the engagement.

He will certainly be responsible.
It was late, He Shiyan collected his thoughts and strode to the bedside, calling out, "Xiaoxi, get up for lunch."

No one answered, so he had no choice but to pull back the curtain, stretched out his hand and pushed her shoulder, "Get up."

"Let me sleep for a while." Ning Xi turned over and subconsciously held He Shiyan's hand in his arms.

This behavior is all too familiar to her, she liked to cling to Xuan Mo like this on the bed in the last plane.

However, for He Shiyan, he froze as if struck by lightning.

He just felt soft.

At this moment, Ning Xi opened his eyes and looked at him blankly.

He lowered his head again, and the blankness in his eyes instantly disappeared without a trace.

Are you playing hooligans yourself?
Seeing her wake up, He Shiyan quickly pulled out his hand, turned around and explained, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to wake you up, you didn't have dinner yesterday."

Ning Xi looked at his back, a little confused, she should be the one who should apologize.
