Having lived two lives, to say that one is not superstitious at all would be pure self-deception.

However, it didn't reach the level of praying to gods and Buddhas.

—It's just a matter of having a sense of awe, nothing more.

After skillfully tying her hair up, Gu Qing left the bathroom and returned to the bedroom.

The outfit still features a combination of summer school uniform tops and autumn school uniform bottoms, finished with thin white socks.

Before going downstairs, Gu Qing knocked on Su Xiyue's door.

Only after the latter made a sound did he go downstairs to the kitchen.

Today's breakfast consisted of congee with side dishes and a fried egg, all of which are easy to digest and unlikely to cause stomach aches.

By the time Gu Qing finished preparing breakfast, it was already seven o'clock.

After casually eating a few bites, Su Changqin walked out while giving instructions:

"I've already booked rooms at the hotel across from the school. You can rest there at noon."

"Ah Yuan, thank you for spending time with the children today. Please call me anytime if you have any questions."

After Su Changqin finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

For students, today is the day of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).

Today is also an exceptionally busy day for one of the city's administrators.

Although Su Changqin is not in full charge of education, she must be on duty throughout the two days of the college entrance examination, be on standby at any time, and deal with any possible emergencies.

After breakfast, Gu Qing began a final check of the items needed for the exam.

ID card, admission ticket, two pencils, and an eraser.

A black ballpoint pen and a ruler were placed in a transparent file bag.

Gu Qing not only checked his own things, but also checked Su Xiyue's.

After confirming that everything was correct, I took out the mung bean soup I had cooked the night before from the refrigerator and poured it into a thermos.

Mung bean soup is obviously not allowed in the examination room, but it can be used as a refreshing drink during the lunch break.

Finally, looking at the somewhat nervous Su Xiyue, Gu Qing suddenly remembered himself from his previous life.

After a soft laugh, Gu Qing suddenly raised his hand and flicked the girl's forehead with his finger, much to Su Xiyue's bewilderment.

The movements were very gentle, and I felt no pain at all.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Now you've figured it out."

"If you encounter a problem you don't know how to solve, don't rush. You can do the problems you know how to solve first, and then think about the problems later."

Su Xiyue touched her forehead where Gu Qing had just touched her, her eyes sparkling.

"If this really works, I'll flick you too!"

As she spoke, the girl was about to extend her finger.

"I do not need!"

Gu Qing turned around leisurely, leaving Su Xiyue with only her back view and a bright red hair tie in her black ponytail.

……

The National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is a matter of national importance.

In order to cope with this major annual event, the relevant departments have already prepared a series of contingency plans.

For exam venues further away, schools will organize buses and police cars to escort students to their destinations.

For those who live closer to the exam, their parents can pick them up and drop them off; for those whose parents have difficulty picking them up and dropping them off, there are also social vehicles that are specially organized to pick up and drop off college entrance exam takers.

Traffic police are on standby on some of the main roads leading to the examination sites.

If candidates need to rush to the examination venue, they can ask the traffic police for help at any time using their admission ticket.

Traffic police rushed to escort students to the examination venue on time; similar news stories appear frequently every year after the college entrance examination.

Meanwhile, private vehicles and businesses on the streets will strictly abide by the regulations during the college entrance examination period.

Even without regulations, most people will tacitly try to minimize noise.

The warmth of a city is always evident at times like these.

"Today's first exam is Chinese. Don't panic when you see the essay topic. Remember the writing methods I told you."

After getting off the bus, on the way to school, Gu Qing instructed again: "Following the method, you may not get a very high score, but you can definitely reach above the average level."

In the past few days, Gu Qing has taught Su Xiyue some tricks for getting high marks in writing.

Although it's a product of exam-oriented education, as long as it works, that's fine.

Su Xiyue listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

During this period of time, Gu Qing not only devoted time and energy to helping her improve, but also tried to arrange her three meals a day as reasonably as possible.

They also provided her with psychological counseling from time to time.

Su Xiyue saw all of this and kept it in mind.

The last person who cared so much about her studies was her father, who has since passed away.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but recall her biological father's last words.

"I'll hold on tight, don't worry, Dad!"

With these thoughts in mind, Su Xiyue and Gu Qing parted ways at the entrance of the teaching building, embarking on their respective journeys.

……

Due to the principle that teachers from the same school cannot proctor exams in the same school's exam room.

The presence of students from other schools added many unfamiliar faces to No. 2 Middle School today.

For the students of No. 2 Middle School, Gu Qing was an unattainable beauty who would not be won over by anyone.

However, for students who were not from No. 2 Middle School, Gu Qing's reputation was not yet widely known.

This is why Gu Qing's appearance attracted the attention of some girls.

Even worse, some people completely disregarded the special time of day and tried to ask for contact information.

"Mobile phones are not allowed in the examination room."

After coldly leaving those words to the girl who approached him, Gu Qing entered his examination room.

Fifteen minutes before the exam officially began, the invigilator showed the students the sealed exam paper bag.

Exam supplies were then distributed.

Once the exam papers were confirmed to be correct and presented to each candidate, they began to wait for the exam to officially begin.

Morning 9: 00

As soon as the bell rang, the candidates began to write.

Gu Qing calmly began to read the question and answer it.

The first subject was Chinese.

After receiving the exam paper, Gu Qing immediately checked this year's college entrance examination essay topic.

The topic wasn't exactly original, and Gu Qing had already prepared several writing plans.

This is a good opportunity to slowly brainstorm ideas while answering other questions.

Time flies.

Ninety minutes later, Gu Qing put down her pen and completed the final check.

After confirming everything was correct, Gu Qing sat quietly in her seat, looking at the remaining exam time.

I didn't look around, nor did I intend to hand in my paper early.

He just wanted to sit there, savoring the indescribable lingering feeling as he prepared to embark on a new phase of his life.

Perhaps many of the candidates here do not realize that this exam may be the fairest opportunity in their lives to compete with everyone else.

Morning 11: 35

Gu Qing packed her things and left the examination room.

The bustling group of test-takers had already gathered in small groups, exchanging information about the exams that had just ended.

Some candidates couldn't wait to check their answers, while others seemed relieved, walking out of the examination room either happy or disappointed.

After leaving the examination room, Gu Qing saw Zhou Jie and Su Xiyue enjoying the shade of a large banyan tree across from the teaching building.

There was also a girl I didn't recognize who seemed to have a good relationship with Su Xiyue; the two were chatting and laughing.

Upon seeing Gu Qing, Zhou Jie waved and teased Su Xiyue, saying, "I told you Qingqing would never hand in her paper early!"
