Chapter 279: 278, exam

Luo Qian Yu returned to Jinchen full of excitement, only to receive a piece of news that he found somewhat unbelievable. Yang Muxue had disappeared; the Yang family had been searching for her for many days without any trace of her whereabouts.

Thinking that he had finally learned the answer and planned to make things clear with the Yang family, to pursue a proper romance with her, and then marry her as his wife, but she had suddenly disappeared. Were they destined to miss each other? No! He must find her, even if she was hiding at the ends of the earth, he would seek her out. She was the woman he had chosen, and he would make sure she became his wife in this lifetime.

With this thought in mind, Luo Qian Yu walked over to the telephone, picked it up, and swiftly issued a series of commands.

Luo Shu, upon learning of Yang Muxue’s disappearance, was also surprised. She finally understood why her parents, who had known each other from an early age, had waited two years before they started dating and got married. So there were so many twists and turns.

Picking up her textbooks and quickly glancing through them, Luo Shu walked outside; today was the first day of her examinations.

Lu Hanmo had been recalled to Jinchen half a month ago, and this period was his busiest. Even when they spoke on the phone, they could only exchange a few rushed words before hanging up.

The weather today was exceptionally hot, the burning sun made the ground scorching hot, and most of the pedestrians on the road had put on sunhats.

A vendor peddling his bike, with a popsicle box tied at the back, pedaled hard while shouting loudly.

Pedestrians on the road, upon seeing this, often took a few more glances; in such weather, having a cool and refreshing popsicle was a real treat. The popsicles, though only five cents apiece, were not something everyone was willing to afford.

As Luo Shu had just stepped out of the alley, she saw a Guard vehicle parked there.

The car door opened, and a tall, upright figure appeared in front of Luo Shu.

Luo Shu’s eyes widened with surprise as she quickly stepped forward, "Why are you here?" She remembered that during their phone call the day before, he had said he was busy with training and had asked her to come find him in Jinchen after her exams were over.

"I wanted to give you a surprise," Lu Hanmo said with a smile, lightly touching Luo Shu’s hair. He knew she had an exam today and had arranged all his matters in the days before. He kept it a secret from her only to surprise her.

"You’re so sweet!" Luo Shu beamed with a brilliant smile, her heart brimming with happiness and content. He had just joined a new Guard unit and certainly had a lot to deal with. Yet for her sake, he had arranged everything in advance and come all this way. How could she not be moved and happy!

"You’re my wife-to-be; if I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well? Get in the car; I’ll take you to the examination site," said Lu Hanmo, walking to the other side, opening the passenger’s door, and inviting Luo Shu with a smile, "Wife-to-be, please!"

Luo Shu gave Lu Hanmo a playful glare, walked forward, and sat in the car.

Lu Hanmo closed the car door, walked to the other side, opened the door to take his seat, and from his Storage Bag, he took out a popsicle and handed it to Luo Shu, "I saw them selling these on the streets and bought one for you."

Luo Shu took it from him, unwrapped the paper, and held the popsicle up to Lu Hanmo’s mouth, smiling, "Take a bite first, as a reward for you."

Lu Hanmo smiled faintly, bowed his head, and took a bite, "Thank you, wife-to-be!"

"Let’s go!" Luo Shu said, biting into the popsicle in her hand, her face full of satisfaction.

The examination room was stifling, with two ceiling fans constantly spinning that still failed to alleviate the oppressive heat.

The students wiped sweat from their brows, unsure whether it was from the heat or the nerves.

Luo Shu walked to her assigned seat according to her exam number and sat down. Because of her cultivation, such weather didn’t affect her too much.

As more candidates entered the room, the temperature rose, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Before long, a teacher in a white short-sleeved shirt and black dress pants entered holding a stack of exam papers. He placed them on the lectern, pushed up his glasses, scanned the room, and spoke solemnly, "Before the exam begins, I need to say a few words to everyone. The most important thing about an exam is your mindset. I hope you all approach this with a normal attitude. Cheating is disgraceful, and if I catch anyone, they will be scored zero. Lastly, I wish everyone the best of luck in getting into the university of their choice."

Having finished, he divided the stack of exam papers on the lectern and placed them on the desks of the first row, instructing the students seated there to pass them down.

When everyone had received an exam paper, the exam bell sounded.

"The exam will last for one and a half hours, which is plenty of time. Please check your work carefully before handing in your paper. Your scores determine your future, so don’t be careless," the teacher said as many students had already picked up their pens and begun answering.

Luo Shu quickly glanced over her exam paper, finding the questions were much simpler than those in her future memories, and began writing her answers.

The examination room soon became incredibly quiet, except for the ’scratch’ of pencil tips on paper and the pages being turned, punctuated by the continuous chirp of cicadas outside the window.

As time ticked by, some students finished their papers and went forward to hand them to the invigilator.

Checking the time, Luo Shu also stood up, picked up her paper, and handed it in. She had finished earlier but didn’t want to attract attention by being the first to turn it in.

Exiting the campus, Luo Shu went to where Lu Hanmo had parked the car and got inside.

Lu Hanmo handed a bowl of iced mung bean soup to Luo Shu, smiling, "Where would you like to eat?" The exam was divided into two parts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon; after lunch, they would continue with the afternoon session.

"You decide!" Luo Shu said, swallowing a mouthful of the mung bean soup. On a hot summer day, such a cool bowl of soup was definitely a delight.

Lu Hanmo nodded with a smile, pondered, and said, "I’ll take you somewhere." The afternoon exam wouldn’t start until one, so they had plenty of time.

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded with a smile, anticipation on her face.
