Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Time flies.

Before they knew it, it was the third day, the day Jiang Ruyue was to take her exam.

Bai Li got up very early.

I threw off the covers, put on a short-sleeved shirt, and casually ran my fingers through my hair.

"Damn it," he muttered to himself, letting out a long yawn.

Having gotten used to sleeping until I naturally wake up every day, I was suddenly woken up early at a certain time, and my biological clock didn't even register it.

However, because he was in such good health, he quickly recovered and felt refreshed.

Calculating the time, there are less than two hours left before the first exam.

He walked to the French windows and drew back the curtains:

"I don't know if Kisaragi has gotten up yet."

Just then.

"Knock knock".

The knocking interrupted Bai Li's thoughts.

Bai Li slipped on her slippers and opened the door.

The delivery guy handed me two bags.

One bag contained freshly cooked congee with preserved egg and lean pork, while the other small bag contained montmorillonite powder that he had specially paid extra for the delivery driver to buy from a pharmacy.

With a big exam approaching, the worst thing isn't not knowing how to answer the questions, but getting an upset stomach.

The food in Wenxian County is very oily and spicy. The night before last, Jiang's parents took her out to eat at a street food stall again.

This preventative measure was his way of showing concern.

I had just opened the takeout box and put the porridge on the table when my phone screen lit up.

Jiang Ruyue sent a WeChat message:

I'm awake!

The accompanying picture is a scruffy little cat stretching lazily.

Bai Li picked up a spoon, stirred the hot porridge a couple of times, and typed with one hand:

It's only 7:15 now, why not sleep a little longer?

The reply came instantly:

I've already slept for ten hours, if I sleep any longer I'll turn into a pig!

This girl's writing is overflowing with a charming naiveté.

Bai Li tapped the screen and casually explained what had just happened:

【That's perfect. I ordered takeout and also bought a box of montmorillonite powder. I left it outside your room when no one was in the hallway. Remember to drink one packet before you go into the exam room.】

My gaze cut across a wall.

Jiang Ruyue leaned against the headboard, the thin straps of her pajamas having long since slipped down to her upper arms.

Large swathes of snow-white skin were exposed to the air, and the full cleavage that had driven Bai Li crazy yesterday was faintly visible.

She held her phone, her big eyes sparkling.

Looking at the instructions on the screen regarding diarrhea medication, Jiang Ruyue's toes curled up slightly under the covers.

[This stallion even thought of such trivial details for me.]

Other people's boyfriends might just say "drink more hot water" and that's it, but my man takes care of all the logistical support.

This feeling of being cherished and cared for is sweeter than honey.

She bit her lower lip, her fingertips tapping rapidly:

"So, are you going to take me to the exam venue later?"

After sending this message, Jiang Ruyue pressed her hand tightly against her collarbone, waiting for Bai Li's reply.

hum-

My phone vibrated, sending a slight tingling sensation through me.

Jiang Ruyue quickly raised her phone.

Bai Li: [Of course I'll have to see you off. But with your parents following you around like bodyguards, I'll probably just have to sneak up behind you.]

Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Ruyue immediately rolled over on the bed, her two fair and straight legs kicking happily in the air.

That's enough! I'm easily satisfied!

After sending the message, she had a sudden thought.

She pulled the blanket up, covering half her face, leaving only her eyes visible, and continued typing with red ears:

Oh, and there's one more thing I want to tell you...

While waiting for your message, I held my phone to my chest. When I received your reply, it vibrated, and it felt like you were kissing my bear...

Click send.

The room at this end of the corridor.

Bai Li scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth.

Upon seeing the line of lewd words suddenly pop up on the screen, my throat tightened, and I almost choked on the preserved egg.

He took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

This girl would go crazy if she didn't drive for a day.

Despite having an innocent and pure face, her mind is filled with irritating and infuriating nonsense.

"You've gotten quite bold, daring to flirt even through a screen." Bai Li scoffed as she looked at her phone.

He decisively placed his phone face down on the table, deciding to adopt a physical isolation method.

If I keep arguing with her, I can't just rush over and take care of her at this crucial moment.

One minute passed, then two minutes passed.

Jiang Ruyue wasn't angry that she didn't receive a reply from Bai Li.

She knew Bai Li's temperament all too well.

Right now, she's probably staring blankly at the screen, probably cursing her in her mind as a little pervert.

Thinking of this, she hummed a song, threw off the covers, and shuffled into the bathroom in her slippers.

The tap was turned on, and warm water washed over my face.

The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, looked great even without makeup, and exuded vitality.

After washing up and changing my clothes, I heard the sound of a room card being swiped outside the door.

Mr. and Mrs. Jiang came in carrying large and small bags of breakfast.

Jiang Ruyue sat obediently at the small round table, slowly munching on a steamed bun in one hand, while flipping through her review materials with the other, doing her final memorization before the exam.

Jiang's mother repeatedly checked the items in the pencil case, muttering instructions to herself.

"Mom, I've checked several times, and I haven't forgotten anything."

Jiang Ruyue swallowed the food in her mouth and soothed her anxious mother in a soft voice.

After breakfast, the family of three left the hotel.

Bai Li waited until they left, then went downstairs and hung far behind the Jiang family.

Traffic on the streets had long been paralyzed.

Outside the examination hall of Wenxian No.1 Middle School.

Police tape was set up on both sides of the road, and traffic police were directing traffic at various intersections.

The whole world is making way for this exam.

Bai Li squeezed into the crowd and found a large, leafy locust tree across the street.

The location is excellent, with a wide view, allowing you to see the entire main gate of the school.

A few minutes later, Jiang's parents escorted Jiang Ruyue to a shady spot under a tree near the school gate.

Jiang's mother stepped forward, raised her hand to straighten her daughter's T-shirt collar, and casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear:

"Go for it, my darling daughter! Mom believes in you. Just do your best as usual."

Jiang's father quickly waved his hand and interjected in a gruff voice to smooth things over:

"Don't listen to your mother, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Whether you do well or poorly on the test, just take it easy."

"This is just a temporary test; it won't determine your entire life. After the exam, Dad will take you out for a big meal."

"Okay, Mom and Dad~"

Jiang Ruyue smiled sweetly and readily agreed.

She waved and turned to join the flow of people heading to the security checkpoint.

In the instant she turned around, her gaze passed over her parents' shoulders, through the bustling crowd, and landed on the old locust tree across the street.

Bai Li's tall and slender figure stood out in the crowd. He stood quietly in the shade of the trees, watching this side across the wide street.

Their gazes collided in the air.

Jiang Ruyue's eyes curved into a beautiful arc, and while her parents weren't paying attention, she playfully winked at Bai Li.

She smiled.

She already had a flawless, pure face, and this smile was absolutely stunning.

The summer breeze swept across the street at that very moment, lifting her ponytail and letting a few strands brush against her fair cheeks.

The anxious crowd around him paled in comparison to this smile, becoming nothing more than a dull backdrop.

Withdrawing her gaze, Jiang Ruyue straightened her back and walked lightly into the examination hall.

His back was slender, yet he possessed an unwavering determination to move forward.

Across the street.

Bai Li watched the slender figure gradually blend into the crowd and finally disappear behind the school gate, and a soft corner of her heart was gently touched.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket, his voice very soft:

"Go for it, beautiful, confident, and radiant little moon!"
