Jiang Yumo was so frightened that she was at a loss for words and exclaimed, “Mom!”
Why is she scaring people like this? She didn’t even turn on the lights!!
Mother Jiang calmly walked over and let out a sigh, “A girl shouldn’t go out this late.”
Jiang Yumo: “?”
With a blush on her face, she retorted, “Mom! I just went downstairs to get something!”
“What thing?” Mother Jiang asked curiously, her tone suddenly becoming dangerous. “What thing made Classmate Duan send it over so late at night?” Her voice turned threatening, “Is it food? Teacher Liu said that the art exam is crucial. These days, you can’t casually eat outside food. If you upset your stomach, it won’t be good.”
Jiang Yumo defended Duan Ye, saying, “No way! What he sent wasn’t food—”
Originally, she didn’t plan to tell her parents, but now she was worried that her mother would misunderstand Duan Ye. She hurriedly took out the safety amulet from her pocket and said, “He gave me this.”
Mother Jiang took it and examined it carefully.
After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. “He’s thoughtful.”
The amulets from Yongfu Temple are in limited supply every day, unless you go early in the morning before dawn, you won’t be able to get them.
Jiang Yumo was incredibly proud and raised her chin slightly. “That’s for sure!”
Mother Jiang put the amulet back in her daughter’s pocket. “Momo, your Dad and I never thought you would achieve great success in the future.”
“?” Jiang Yumo understood what she meant and became angry. “Mom!”
How could she say the truth like that?
“Although we don’t know why you suddenly decided to take the art exam this semester, your Dad and I support all your decisions.” Mother Jiang softened her voice and looked at her only daughter with gentle eyes. “Momo, Mom and Dad only want you to be safe, healthy, and happy. So don’t feel pressured. Just do your best, and don’t worry about the results. Your Dad and I are here for everything.”
Jiang Yumo was stunned.
“Alright.” Mother Jiang’s tenderness seemed to last only for a few seconds. “Go to bed quickly. We’ll leave early tomorrow morning.”
“Oh…”
Jiang Yumo foolishly walked towards her room. When she was close to the door, she turned back and looked at her Mom in the dark shadow, whispering, “Mom, I love you so much.”
After saying these words, her face turned bright red, as if someone was chasing after her, and she quickly slipped into the room.
“Mom, I love you. Dad, I love you. I love you both the most.” These were the words Jiang Yumo used to say when she was young. She couldn’t remember when she had become hesitant to express such love to her parents again. She had forgotten when was the last time she said, “Mom, I love you.”
In this world, she would always, always love her Mom and Dad the most.
No one could surpass them.
She felt truly happy to have her Mom and Dad, Yan Qing, Mengting, and Zhiyu by her side.
In an instant, she seemed to have infinite courage.
—Go for it, Jiang Yumo!
The next day, early in the morning, Father and Mother Jiang took their daughter on the road to the provincial capital.
For other Fifth High School students, everything was ordinary, but for Jiang Yumo’s friends, they were all very nervous these past few days.
Yan Qing and Sun Mengting sigh every day, and after sighing, they immediately scold each other three times, urging each other not to spread this negative energy to Jiang Yumo, who is far away in the provincial capital.
Ning Zhiyu occasionally looks up at the sky, thinking of Jiang Yumo.
Without Jiang Yumo in Fifth High, it seems to have become desolate.
Zhao Zheng and Guo Shichao often say, ‘What is Sister Mo doing now?’ ‘When is Sister Mo’s exam?’ ‘Our Sister Mo is definitely the best!’ etc…
Duan Ye has become even quieter than before.
Even Zhou Ji has been affected by this emotional atmosphere and murmured sincerely, “Let her pass the exam! My Grandma has been worshiping the Buddha for so many years. Please listen and let her pass.”
He can feel that if Jiang Yumo doesn’t pass the exam, his days ahead will be very depressed and sad.
Wait a minute…
Zhou Ji suddenly had an epiphany: When did Jiang Yumo become the top of this food chain??
—D*mn!!
Before the evening self-study, Ye Wenxu, who came from First High, hesitated for a long time at the gate of Fifth High before finally gathering the courage to knock on the door of the security office.
There are two security guards in the security office, one watching surveillance videos and the other reading materials.
Ye Wenxu is the kind of younger generation that elders would like upon seeing.
He is tall and slim, with a refreshing temperament and a gentle personality. Even if you don’t know him or meet him for the first time, you will have a good impression of him.
He carries a backpack on his shoulders and holds a tightly wrapped box in his hands.
The security guard, puzzled, asks, “Student, is there something you need?”
Both security guards have been working at this school for many years and are certain that they have never seen this student before. If there really is someone like this at Fifth High, they would definitely remember.
On the way here, Ye Wenxu also did a lot of mental preparation.
In the end, he still followed his heart. Ever since he found out that Xiao Jiang is a student at Fifth High, every time he passes by this area, he would look outside and even guess which one is Xiao Jiang.
It seems like anyone could be Xiao Jiang, yet no one seems to be Xiao Jiang.
This is a strange thing. He doesn’t even know what Xiao Jiang looks like, but every time he chats with her, his mood unexpectedly becomes calm. Those anxieties gradually dissipate under her words, as she guides him. It’s difficult to develop a habit, yet also simple. At least now he’s already accustomed to telling her about any unpleasant things he encounters.
She will be taking her art exam in a few days.
He is also very worried about her.
After thinking it over, he decided to come over and leave the gift he prepared here. As a friend, he should indeed give more encouragement to the other person.
“Uncle, can I leave a package here?” Ye Wenxu was very polite. “Someone will come to pick it up in a few days. Can it stay here for a few days?”
The security guard asked, “Is it for a student in our school or for a teacher?”
Ye Wenxu’s voice was clear, “For a student.”
This request was not unreasonable. Sometimes teachers’ packages are also left in the guard room.
The security guard felt that this student was very polite and readily agreed, “Okay, but it can’t stay for too long.”
Ye Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief, “No problem, she’ll be back in a few days.”
