On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

There were no many words, only silent companionship and support.

Su Yuqing closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility, her heart filled with a sense of peace and warmth.

This is the most authentic manifestation of the "love that has always existed" that Aunt Chen Xi spoke of in everyday life.

Chen Mo wasn't only interested in Su Yuqing.

He was like a pillar of strength, not only maintaining his own top performance, but also effortlessly helping Zhou Hao make up for his shortcomings, pointing out key ideas to Zhao Yueyue, and encouraging the anxious Huang Mao and Lin Yu'an.

Looking at his calm and helpful manner, Su Yuqing felt a mixture of love and admiration in her heart.

She became even more convinced that the person she had chosen was worth fighting alongside with all her might.

During the final class meeting, homeroom teacher He Xiaoyun's voice was slightly hoarse.

Looking at the students below, about to spread their wings and soar, her gaze swept over Chen Mo and Su Yuqing with a subtle tenderness and expectation: "Children, you are all heroes in your own right.

In these last few days, take care of yourselves and stay calm.

Remember, the college entrance exam is an important stage in life, but not the final destination.

No matter the outcome, your future is long, and even more beautiful scenery awaits you.

"These words were like a reassurance, and also like a hint about the future.

Su Yuqing and Chen Mo exchanged a smile.

Time flies, and the eve of the college entrance examination has finally arrived.

The city's hustle and bustle seemed to have been silenced for this grand exam.

Su Yuqing and Chen Mo stopped their intensive review and quietly flipped through their error notebooks and key points outlines.

Chen Xi and Li Fengzhi came over specially and worked together to cook their favorite light and delicious dishes, creating a relaxed and warm atmosphere, without mentioning the exam at all.

After dinner, the two stood side by side on the rooftop terrace.

The early summer evening breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers, caressed their hair.

The neighborhood downstairs was unusually quiet, with only a few lights on.

"Are you nervous?

" Chen Mo asked softly, turning his head to look at her soft silhouette outlined by the moonlight.

Su Yuqing shook her head, then nodded, and answered honestly, "A little.

But it's not fear, it's...

"Su Yuqing herself couldn't quite describe the feeling, but it was a mix of excitement and solemnity as she awaited the start of a new chapter.

She turned to look at Chen Mo, her eyes reflecting starlight.

It's like...

like waiting for a very important moment to arrive.

Chen Mo's heart stirred slightly.

He reached out and gently took her hand, their fingers intertwined.

The warmth of palms touching conveys unspoken strength and a tacit promise.

"No matter the outcome, I'll be here.

" His voice was deep and firm, exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

Although brief, these words were like a sudden confession, which made Su Yuqing's heart tremble, and a sweet feeling and peace instantly filled her heart.

On the last day, the moment the school bell rang, that important day weighing on everyone's minds, the "College Entrance Examination," was finally about to begin.

Everyone has been working incredibly hard these past two days.

We're finally free today!

Books, test papers, and exercise books were tossed into the air like snowflakes by excited students, the white pages fluttering down like a snowfall announcing the end of the battle of youth.

The school allowed the senior students to let out a final, emotional outburst on this last day.

The ground floor of the teaching building was suddenly piled high with all sorts of test papers and textbooks.

Just collecting them and selling them as scrap metal would make a lot of money.

On this day, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing also let loose and threw all the test papers out of the classroom window.

This allowed him to release all the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days.

Chen Mo, who had never joined this celebration before, finally experienced the joy and excitement of letting all his burdens flow out the window.

That night, Chen Mo and Su Yuqing didn't have much contact, both afraid of disturbing their peace of mind, and they went to bed early after washing up.

The next few days of exams were spent amidst the scratching of pens on paper, the rustling of pages turning, and the occasional chirping of cicadas outside the window.

The atmosphere inside the examination room was solemn, and a heavy atmosphere permeated the air.

Su Yuqing picked up her brush and began to write, her mind completely focused.

The question types I had practiced repeatedly, the key points Chen Mo had emphasized, and the common mistakes I had summarized all clearly surfaced in my mind.

When faced with a difficult problem, she would take a deep breath, recall Chen Mo's calm gaze when solving problems, and she would be able to calm down and find a solution.

She no longer worried about whether her grades could catch up with Chen Mo's, but instead focused on putting every bit of effort into her writing.

This is her answer to her own future and theirs.

Chen Mo's condition remained stable as always.

He answered questions extremely quickly and with clear thinking, as if he were not taking a life-changing exam, but completing a set of exercises that he already knew by heart.

During breaks, his gaze would unconsciously drift toward Su Yuqing's exam room, imagining her writing furiously, and a slight smile would appear on his lips.

Time flies, and the final bell of the last exam rang out suddenly, like heavenly music or a spell that released all constraints!

"The exam is over.

Please stop writing!

"As all the candidates left the examination hall, many sighs of relief echoed through the air.

"what--!!!

""Liberation is here!!!

""It's over!

It's finally over!

"After three years of suppression, especially the immense pressure of the last few months, it was released completely and wildly at this moment.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing walked out of the examination room with the flow of people.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and a complex atmosphere of freedom and farewell permeated the surrounding candidates.

The deafening noise almost knocked people over; the air was filled with the smells of sweat, ink, and an atmosphere of extreme excitement.

Many students' faces were filled with the ecstasy of surviving a disaster and boundless anticipation for the future.

Unlike the others, they didn't shout or yell; they just smiled at each other and let out a long, deep breath.

Chen Mo and Su Yuqing walked side by side, both with a sense of relief on their faces.

"How are you feeling?

" Chen Mo asked her, turning his head to the side, his voice as gentle as ever.

"Thank goodness, I did my best.

" Su Yuqing took a deep breath, feeling the exhilaration of surviving a disaster.

She turned to look at Chen Mo, her eyes sparkling.

"It's over.

""Yes, it's over.

" Chen Mo looked back at her, a smile spreading across his deep eyes.

The surrounding area was a surging crowd, with many people excitedly discussing holiday plans or information about college applications.

The noise surrounded them, yet strangely created a quiet atmosphere around them.

They didn't need to vent like others; they simply walked side by side quietly, enjoying the tranquility of crossing this important hurdle together.

The two smiled faintly, a smile that reflected the tacit understanding gained from fighting side-by-side, and an unspoken anticipation—the college entrance exam was over, and their "important moment" was approaching.
