"By the way, the college entrance examination is coming up soon. Do you want to give it a try?"
Yu Songyu knew that Wang Zhao was very smart. Although his foundation was a bit lacking, with her around, finding last year's exam papers would be a piece of cake.
Me? I think I'll pass!
Wang Zhao lowered his head. He knew his own level all too well. It would be better to save himself the trouble.
Just tell me if you want to or not! If you do, I have a way!
Having spent so much time with Wang Zhao, Yu Songyu had complete faith in his character. He was like a comrade on the battlefield, someone she could trust completely.
You have a way? Then are you going to take the exam?
This girl really had some impressive connections; he had believed that long ago. However, taking the college entrance exam was optional for him.
But if Yu Songyu were to take it, that would change everything because he could continue to accompany her and go further together.
I will take it! Yang Qinghe is in Jing City, and I want to see him.
A hint of barely noticeable disappointment crossed Wang Zhao's face but vanished in an instant.
Then I'll take the exam at the same place as you. Wherever you go, I'll go too; otherwise, it's easy for me to expose my lack of ability.
Wang Zhao presented an unrefusable reason.
Sure! It’s perfect for us to look out for each other!
Yu Songyu thought this was a good idea and had no reason to refuse. Besides, she had no relatives in Jing City, so having Wang Zhao by her side would be wonderful.
It's settled then!
Yes, it's settled! We'll apply for universities in Jing City together!
As they chatted, they didn't notice that it had gotten dark outside.
With heavy snow falling outside, it was warm and cozy inside the room. You might as well stay here!
Wang Zhao stared at the increasingly heavy snowfall outside, worry etched on his face.
He thought that if Yu Songyu insisted on leaving, he would accompany her no matter what.
Actually, why not just stay for the night? By the way, let's celebrate the New Year together in Shi Gou Village!
Yu Songyu could teleport directly if she wanted to, but with such heavy snow falling, if she said she would leave, Wang Zhao would definitely worry about her.
"Celebrate the New Year together?"
Wang Zhao seemed taken aback, each word pronounced slowly.
"Is there a problem?"
"No problem!"
With that, it was clear there were no issues, but Wang Zhao had never truly celebrated the New Year in his life. In previous years, he had always been alone. On this day, while other families were filled with joy and laughter, he would pull the covers over his head and sleep soundly on the bed.
Sleeping was certainly better than being awake; when awake, his mind would wander endlessly, making it hard to bear.
Yu Songyu seemed to realize that this was likely Wang Zhao's first New Year celebration. To cover up her awkwardness, she quickly spoke up.
"Well, during the New Year, elders give red envelopes to the younger ones. Since you’re going to celebrate with us, Xiao He should call you 'Uncle.' Don’t forget to prepare some lucky money for the kids!"
"Okay!"
"It's getting late; I’ll rest now. You should get some rest too!"
Yu Songyu wanted to hurry and check on Bai Jie; she hadn’t been able to attend to her these past few days. That girl must be going crazy!
As soon as Bai Jie saw Yu Songyu appear, she began to chatter away.
"You little brat, you actually came! I’ve been waiting for ages; do you know that? Come on, come on!"
