The Return of the God Level Assassin

1110  COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION (I)

[YAN YAN, today is such a big day for you. I wanted to wish you all the best! I know you've put in so much hard work and dedication, and I have complete faith in you. Remember to stay calm and double check everything before giving your test paper to the proctor. I'll be rooting for you every step of the way! You've got this. Best of luck, and I love you!]

That was followed by a rabbit sticker sending hugs and kisses.

A smile automatically appeared on Luo Yan's face when he read Shen Ji Yun's WeChat message. Although the two of them video called last night, saying sweet nothings to one another, reading Shen Ji Yun's message still made his heart tingle.

He quickly typed a reply;

[Thank you, Brother Ji Yun. Don't worry, I'm feeling very confident today. Still, I will be very careful and double check my answers to make sure I won't make any careless mistakes.]

[PS. I know you're very nervous right now for me, but don't be. Just like you said, I've got this.]

Then he finished the message by sending a sticker of a cute fox holding an 'I love you' banner.

"Yan, are you not feeling nervous at all?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Luo Jin's question brought Luo Yan's attention back to the situation inside the car. Yes, they were currently on their way to the exam location assigned to Luo Yan. His father personally decided to drive him there, and Luo Jin also decided to tag along.

Students taking the college entrance examination were assigned to designated testing centers, which was usually a public school. That's why students didn't necessarily take the exam at the school they're attending.

Where's his older brother, you asked? Well, he volunteered to drive Yu Jiao and her mother, since Yu Jiao was also assigned to the same exam location as Luo Yan. He heard Yu Jiao refused at first, saying that it would be too much of a hassle for Luo Ren. But after his older brother said that Aunt Xiuying could stay with their father and Luo Jin while waiting for them to finish their exam, Yu Jiao no longer refused.

Although he didn't think it's necessary for them to wait for him until the end of the exam, especially since both his father and older brother had work, he didn't stop them. After all, it was their way of showing support for him. Besides, the feeling of having people waiting for him after the exam ended was not bad at all. It was something he didn't experience when he took the college entrance exam in his previous life.

"Xiao Jin, don't ask that. It's good that your brother is not nervous. He will be able to answer the exam questions with a clear head," their father said from the driver's seat.

Luo Yan turned to their father. The other looked like he was very calm, but the way he was tapping the steering wheel showed just how nervous he must be. Luo Yan smiled at that.

"I don't need to be nervous because I believe I've prepared enough for this day. I studied everything I should have. I'm confident that my efforts won't betray me," he said, more to calm and reassure his father and Luo Jin, who were clearly very nervous for him.

"Good, that's good," his father said.

"Ha... I wish I have that same confidence when I take the exam next year," Luo Jin said, weakly leaning against the backseat chair.

Luo Yan reached out and pinched Luo Jin's cheek. "Our Ah Jin is so smart. There's no way you wouldn't be as confident as I am now."

"Hey, don't pinch me!" Luo Jin said while trying to remove Luo Yan's hand.

Luo Wei Tian laughed softly seeing his sons interaction from the rearview mirror. Even the nervousness he's feeling had greatly diminished. Remembering what Luo Yan said about his efforts not betraying him, he decided to also trust his son's hard work. If he continued to be nervous like this, it might even affect Luo Yan. Thinking that, he suddenly felt more at ease.

Soon, they finally arrive at the exam location.

Luo Yan stepped out of the car and approached the entrance of the school. The campus was buzzing with activity, filled with other students and parents who had come to support their children. Banners emblazoned with motivational messages flanked the school gates, while teachers and volunteers directed the steady flow of examinees.

He noticed the meticulously organized check-in stations, where identification cards were being verified and security personnel ensured that no prohibited items were brought in. The air was thick with anticipation, a palpable reminder of the significance of the college entrance examination.

"Xiao Yan, are you sure you haven't forgotten anything? Do you have your admission ticket?" his father fussed over him, just like the other parents nearby fussing over their children.

"Everything I need is all in my bag, Dad. I double checked it before we left the house," Luo Yan assured the other for the nth time now.

"Don't forget this," Luo Jin said, raising the bag he's carrying. "Your 'lifeline' is here."

Luo Yan chuckled at that description. Because it made sense in a way. What's inside the bag Luo Jin was carrying were his lunch box, a thermos with tea, and a water flask, as well as snacks. So, the bag was slightly bigger than normal lunch bags.

Since the students were not allowed to leave the classroom where they would take the exam for its duration, it's important for the students to bring their own food and water. After all, the exam would last until late in the afternoon. And they would have to repeat this again for the second and last day of the exam tomorrow.

"Yan Yan!" called by a familiar voice from somewhere.

Luo Yan looked in the direction where it came from and saw Yu Jiao almost running towards them. Luo Ren and Aunt Xiuying were following her.
