    Lu Yang grabbed his admission pass and he looked displeased. “Fourth Middle School is in the suburbs. That’s really far. They freaking put me in the frontier.”


    Fatty and Chu Yaoughed out loud.


    Chu Yao said, “No worries, you and ‘bigdy boss’ are be inseparable. That’s pretty good.”


    Qin Yaozhi squinted at Lu Yang in spite.


    Shen Huan saw Gu Mang’s exam venues. “Sister Mang, yours should be in the Year 2 section. Year Two ss Five. I am in Year Three ss Twelve.”


    Gu Mang nodded.


    In the afternoon, they went to the stationary shop to get essentials for the exam. Then, they went to their own homes.


    In the evening, Gu Mang was studying when she received a call from the parcel delivery man. He asked her to head to the entrance of the school to collect a parcel. She did not go. She just told Meng Jinyang, who was doing theundry downstairs.


    Half an hourter, Meng Jinyang came with the parcel. “Gu Mang, it’s the chocte that you often eat.”


    The moment she spoke, Gu Mang’s phone rang. She turned around and upon seeing the caller, she raised her eyebrow. She reached out to pick up the call.


    A man’s crisp and elegant voice was heard on the other end. “Have you received the choctes?”


    Gu Mang looked at the parcel that Meng Jinyang had just ced on her table and answered nonchntly. She flipped a page of her exam paper in her hand.


    “There’s something on at Red Scorpion and I can’t leave.” Lu Chengzhou sat on the sofa and watched the new recruits on their cross country run from the security cameras. He said with a low voice, “Eat some before the exams. When the exams end the day after tomorrow, I will go and fetch you.”


    He thought the matter could be settled if he rushed today and that he would cook her something to eat in the evening. Yet, there was a small mishap.


    Hearing that, Gu Mang raised her brow and asked casually. “How is Gu Si’s training going?”


    On the surveince screen, Gu Si was pitiful. He was carrying a camouge bag and he was way behind the rest of the team. He looked determined. His legs were too short. Lu Chengzhou was pretty surprised that he could catch up with the rest of the recruits.


    “He’s on the cross-country run and he’s rankedst on the team,” Lu Chengzhou said. He sounded really casual.


    Gu Mang tsked. She flipped a page and answered nonchntly. “Studying, I’m hanging up.”


    Lu Chengzhou heard the sound of papers being flipped.


    “Mm.” The man uttered a soft assent and paused before saying again, “Good luck for your exams.”


    Gu Mangughed lightly. It was low and pleasing to the ears. Then, she answered casually, “Don’t worry, my grades will not put you to shame at the parent teacher meeting.”


    Lu Chengzhou was speechless.


    ...


    The other three in the dormitory were also taking their exams at Ming City Fourth Middle School. They returned home in the afternoon. Their parents were going to take them to take the exam the next day. Gu Mang, Meng Jinyang, and Shen Huan woke up rather early so they went to the cafeteria to have breakfast.


    They ate nutritious meals and the cafeteria even prepared waffles with sausages that spelled “Perfect Score” on them. It was extremely crowded. Everyone wanted to have some good luck. They weren’t so tense anymore.


    When the three of them parted, Gu Mang handed them some choctes to replenish their energy.


    Shen Huan took one bite. “Damn! What choctes are these? Why do they taste so good?!”


    Gu Mang did not answer. She turned around and walked towards her examination venue, Year Two ss Five. The teaching building was full of teachers and school leaders wearing invigtor work passes. It was stricter than the university entrance exams.


    Gu Mang walked to Year Two ss Five calmly and bumped into Lu Yi who was entering the same venue as her. Lu Yi smiled as a form of greeting.


    Gu Mang nodded. The two of them let the invigtor check their body and they put their phones on the table at the front. Then, they entered the exam venue.


    Inside were unfamiliar faces from other schools. Seeing Gu Mang’s face, everyone looked over. When she found her spot and sat down, Gu Mang supported her face with her hand. She twirled her pen, feeling bored as she waited for the exams to begin.


    Then, a boy entered from the front door. He was familiar. Enemies often crossed paths.
