“No need to go out.” Yan Jin reached out and patted Yu Shu’s head, as he was so anxious to leave right now. “With so many people, I don’t want you to get squeezed.”
Then she turned to Zhou Nong Yun, “We can just wait at home. If my name is on the list, they will come to congratulate me. We don’t need to make a special trip.”
Zhou Nong Yun laughed and scolded her, “At a time like this, how can you still be so calm, A Jin.”
Yan Jin: “The exam results are already set. Even if I go early, it won’t raise my ranking.”
Besides, it was definitely crowded and sweaty there now. She didn’t want to be jostled around. It was better to wait for the results at home.
Yan Jin, the exam taker, wasn’t anxious, but the two accompanying her were.
Seeing Zhou Nong Yun about to head out the door, Yan Jin quickly pulled her back. “Sister A Yun, I know you mean well, but it’s still too early. The results haven’t been posted yet. You must have rushed over without eating, right? Let’s eat first and then go, okay?”
Yan Jin had just persuaded Zhou Nong Yun to sit down when she saw Yu Shu glaring at her from the side.
No way, was Yuan Yuan jealous of A Yun too?
Yan Jin sighed inwardly and went to coax Yu Shu. Only then did she manage to seat the two people eager to see the results at the dining table.
Yan Jin ate her breakfast leisurely while the other two ate absentmindedly beside her.
When they finished breakfast, they saw it was almost mao hour, the time for the results to be posted.
Yan Jin put down her bowl and chopsticks, thinking that the timing was about right now. Any later and there would be more people. “Let’s go, to check the list.”
[I’m so nervous, I wasn’t even this nervous checking my college entrance exam results.] [She has to get first place, that way their chances of returning home will be higher.]In front of the screen, Qin Yuansi teased the restless Yan Xiang, “You’re so old already, how can you not even sit still.”
Seeing Yan Xiang glaring at him, Qin Yuansi confidently puffed out his chest. “During this time, I offered incense to the God of Literature every day. It will definitely bless Yan Jin to rank first in the exam!”
When they arrived at the place where the results were posted, Yan Jin said to Yu Shu, “It might get very crowded later. Yu Shu, you wait for me here. I’ll come out as soon as I check the results.”
“Neither of you need to go. A Jin, you keep Young Master Yu company. I’ll go check the list for you.”
With that, Zhou Nong Yun swirled into the crowd like a tornado.
Yan Jin instinctively called out, “Slow down!”
But Zhou Nong Yun had already merged into the crowd.
Although Zhou Nong Yun knew Yan Jin’s ability level, she still followed her habit of starting from the bottom when checking the list.
The more names Zhou Nong Yun skipped over, the more excited she became.
When Zhou Nong Yun finally finished looking at the names at the end and arrived at the top three, she took a deep breath before looking up.
The surrounding people were absorbed in reading when they saw a tall young woman jumping up and down on the spot. They couldn’t help but stare at her like she was crazy.
Zhou Nong Yun ignored the gazes around her and quickly walked out of the crowd, cheering to her friend, “You did it, you did it! A Jin, you got first place again!”
[Ahh!! Well done, Yan Jin!!] [The fifth first place. If Yan Jin gets the top scholar title again, it will be six successes in a row and she can go home!!]Zhou Nong Yun’s shout was extremely loud. Her cheering and jumping around disturbed the people around her who were focused on checking the list, causing them to look over.
The surroundings quieted for a moment, then erupted.
“A Jin? Isn’t that Yan Jin who has won four consecutive first places?”
“Didn’t they say she withdrew from the exam? How come she took it again?”
Zhou Nong Yun quickly walked over to the corner where Yan Jin and Yu Shu were. In her excitement, she forgot about Yu Shu who was reaching out to hug Yan Jin beside her. She rushed over and picked up Yan Jin, spinning her around in a big circle. “A Jin, you’re amazing!”
Yu Shu, who wanted to hug Yan Jin but was beaten to it by Zhou Nong Yun, narrowed his eyes unkindly.
[Zhou Nong Yun, danger.] [Oh no, someone’s jealousy is overflowing again.]Since coming to the capital, Yan Jin had not shown her face in public. So upon hearing Yan Jin was here, the curious examinees followed the sound, wanting to see what the real Yan Jin looked like.
Seeing Yan Jin’s appearance, the charm and elegance she exuded with a mere glance made quite a few young men who had accompanied their families to check the list blush.
Although there was a beautiful young man standing beside Yan Jin, it was common for women to have three husbands and four concubines. They felt they still had a chance.
After Zhou Nong Yun put Yan Jin down and her excitement gradually faded, she finally remembered what she had done in the heat of the moment.
Oh no, Young Master Yu was definitely going to glare at her again.
But to Zhou Nong Yun’s surprise, this time Yu Shu didn’t glare at her. Instead, he calmly patted the dust off Yan Jin’s clothes. “When out and about in the future, A Jin, you need to be more careful. With how outstanding you are, you’ll attract not only young masters, but women too.”
Zhou Nong Yun: ……
Young Master Yu may not have glared at her, but he was reprimanding her with an analogy.
Zhou Nong Yun covered her forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “In certain aspects, you two really are a match.”
As they were talking, the curious onlookers had already started surging over.
Seeing things were looking bad, Yan Jin quickly pulled Yu Shu and hurried away.
Luckily there weren’t too many people coming over yet. When someone really tried to chat with her, Yan Jin directly said, “Sorry, my husband is ill. Let’s catch up another day if there’s a chance.”
Only then did they manage to avoid those who wanted to make connections and successfully return home.
The group had just sat down to drink some hot tea after returning home when someone started banging gongs and drums, coming to the residence to offer congratulations.
Although Yan Jin and Yu Shu had kept a low profile and not shown their faces in public since coming to the capital, thanks to Yu Shu’s unrivaled social skills, there was no one in this ward who didn’t know this loving couple.
The congratulatory procession was so grand that the entire ward knew the wife-master of that affectionate couple had gotten first place in the provincial exam!
Upon further inquiry, before getting first place in the provincial exam, that wife-master had already placed first four times in a row! Including this provincial exam, it was now five consecutive first places!
Some neighbors were so shocked they covered their chests and sighed, “Five out of six firsts already. If she gets one more, it will be incredible!”
“She will definitely get it!” Another neighbor declared confidently. “Our An Kingdom has never produced someone with six consecutive firsts. She’s already taken ninety-nine steps. If she doesn’t take this last step, wouldn’t it be a pity?”
I finished writing the final chapter of the main story, exactly 130 chapters to conclude the main plot.
When I wrote the last sentence of the final chapter, I couldn’t hold back my tears.
My two babies, Mommy can’t bear to part with you, wuwuwu.
But then when I think about all the interesting things that will happen after they return to the modern era, I’m all fired up again, hahaha.
Extras will be updated with 3000 characters daily. Mwah, mwah, mwah.
