Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Everything Arranged

Not long after, both Li Li and Mao Xiaomei came out, with sweat on their foreheads. They looked worried and tired, anxious yet calm. As for how they did on the test, Qin Xiangnuan didn’t ask, but they probably did fine; otherwise, they would be crying.

"Let’s go, time to eat. I’ve reserved a table already."

Jian Zhiqing handed the cup he was holding to Qin Xiangnuan, urging her to drink. Qin Xiangnuan took the cup, poured a glass of water, and looked around. At this time, all the students were coming out. Soon, it would be time to eat, and there might be no place available. There weren’t many places to dine nearby at the time, and it wasn’t like the future where hotels were everywhere. After all, transportation wasn’t that developed now and the food and beverage industry hadn’t expanded as quickly as it would later.

The early bird catches the worm. Otherwise, just looking for a place to eat would involve running around, and you might end up with neither a place found nor food eaten.

They were in the midst of exams, where there was no room for any slip-up. What if they didn’t eat enough and suffered from low blood sugar? What if someone got so nervous during the test that they fainted?

The restaurant Jian Zhiqing chose was not far away, just a ten-minute walk. The students were just coming out, so the rush to eat hadn’t started. However, if they waited half an hour, the place would probably be crowded with people.

Jian Zhiqing ordered several dishes. With himself, Qin Xiangnuan, and her two friends, the dishes ordered were sufficient for them to eat.

Their dishes had just arrived when the restaurant started filling up with people. Outside, many people were waiting, all there to eat. With the large crowd and limited tables, the restaurant was fully seated, but there were still many students outside.

"Eat quickly, stop looking around," Jian Zhiqing tapped the table lightly with his finger, "After we finish, we should make room for others."

After he said that, Qin Xiangnuan, Li Li, and the others buried their faces in their bowls and began to eat in silence, focusing on their meals. They didn’t eat quickly, but they weren’t too slow either, maintaining their usual pace.

After finishing the meal, Jian Zhiqing checked the time; there was about an hour left. He casually booked a guest room nearby so the three young ladies could get some rest.

Chun Xiangnuan threw her book aside and immediately fell asleep on the bed.

"Hey, Xiang Nuan."

Li Li nudged Qin Xiangnuan, "Wake up, we should review—remember, we have a test."

"I’m prepared, no rush at this moment," Qin Xiangnuan continued lying down and pulled the blanket over herself, continuing to sleep. She had her sleep, trusting that Brother Jian would naturally wake her when it was time to start the test. She didn’t know why, but she just trusted him, unconditionally.

Her Doraemon was absolutely reliable, especially here.

Jian Zhiqing glanced at his wristwatch; half an hour remained.

The other two were flipping through books, while his little lady had actually gone to sleep.

He stood up and walked into the room to see Qin Xiangnuan lying on the pillow, fast asleep. He thought the young lady must have stayed up late working the night before, hence the tiredness. In reality, he was wrong and thought too highly of Qin Xiangnuan’s diligence; sleeping for a while during the day and gaining energy for the afternoon was just a habit of hers.

Jian Zhiqing pulled over one side of the blanket and carefully covered the young lady, at least making sure her feet were covered to avoid catching a cold.

When he came out, Li Li and Mao Xiaomei were whispering to each other, and both of them looked quite embarrassed upon seeing Jian Zhiqing.

"Brother Jian, you are really good to Xiang Nuan," Li Li said with envy on her face. It would be so nice if she had a brother like that.

"Of course," Jian Zhiqing smiled, sat down, and casually picked up a magazine to read. He was kind to the young girl, and she was very kind to him in return. Even though she didn’t speak it out loud, she was truly a cold face with a warm heart. Of course, it was also true that she could be very stubborn.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, Li Li and Mao Xiaomei were both yawning from reading. Everybody talks about spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue. It wasn’t autumn yet, but reading for half a day really made them sleepy, not to mention there was someone fast asleep inside.

They were so envious they almost wanted to pinch someone. It wasn’t that they didn’t have a place to sleep; there were three beds here, specially reserved by Jian Zhijing for the three of them young girls. But they didn’t dare to enjoy it; nobody had the boldness like Qin Xiangnuan, who ate when it was time to eat and slept when it was time to sleep.

Jian Zhiqing felt it was about time and walked over to gently push Qin Xiangnuan’s shoulder.

"Young lady, wake up."

Qin Xiangming was a light sleeper, so as soon as Jian Zhiqing’s voice reached her, she woke up.

She sat up, took Jian Zhiqing’s wrist to look at his watch; there were twenty minutes left. They were supposed to enter the examination room ten minutes early, and the exam venue was just across the street. Timing was quite flexible. She went to the restroom to wash her face. When she came out, Jian Zhiqing was organizing her stationery. He checked each piece of the stationery to make sure nothing was missing, then put everything together and handed it to Qin Xiangnuan.

"Let’s go," he tidied up Qin Xiangnuan’s hair, "Do well on the exam, and Brother Jian will treat you all to a big meal tonight."

He said he would treat "you all," not just her. Li Li and Mao Xiaomei exchanged glances, seeing a hint of shrewdness in each other’s eyes. There was good food to look forward to.

"Got it," Qin Xiangnuan took her stationery. As for food, she wasn’t very demanding; in fact, she wanted to have a bowl of noodles cooked by Granny Lu. However, the sparkling eyes of Li Li and Mao Xiaomei made it impossible for her to refuse. It was the college entrance exam after all. Let’s make everything convenient for the students.

Leaving the hotel and crossing a road, they could already see students entering the examination venues one after another. Qin Xiangnuan, Li Li, and Mao Xiaomei were not in the same examination room; they had been separated and were taking their exams individually.

Inside the examination room, Qin Xiangnuan breathed a sigh of relief. Ah, the sooner the exam is over, the sooner one is relieved. Life would be much better after high school.

Soon, the bell rang.

The exam papers were distributed, and she opened her stationery box. Pens, erasers, rulers; everything was ready.

She remembered when Jian Zhiqing helped her pack her stationery, he was more serious than she was, making sure she had everything— he even prepared more than three pens for her, just in case there was any problem in the middle.

She opened the exam paper and clenched her fingers. Alright, let’s begin.

After completing two subjects that she was relatively good at, she felt no strain and thought her answers were quite good. She felt relieved as she walked out.

After the exam, Jian Zhiqing handed her a water bottle.

Hmm, it’s done, Qin Xiangnuan took the cup, took a sip, and realized the water was hot. He must have just refilled it from the hotel. This cup wasn’t insulated for 24 hours. On regular days, this man didn’t seem to show much, but at the right time, you could see that he really was very meticulous.
