Chapter 74: Chapter 74: As if the World Was at My Feet

Jiang Zhiyi had not come to see her for many days, it seemed that since that day, he had not deliberately appeared in front of her, not even coming up to talk to her when they occasionally met on the stairs.

He no longer blocked her way nor did he seek reconciliation, as if the two had truly become strangers.

Indeed, being such a proud person, how could he keep humbling himself?

She couldn’t quite describe it as feeling lost or sad.

So many years of feelings had come to this point, and it was hard for both of them.

Shen Weiyi was not one to dwell in sorrow. Once she had made her decision, she would not look back. Although there was a moment of heartache, she did not have much time to dwell on her sorrow, quickly diving back into her studies.

She soon entered examination preparation mode, with the high school seniors spending almost half of every day on exams and reviewing papers, the constant practice and intense exams left Shen Weiyi no time to think about her and Jiang Zhiyi’s issues.

Jiang Zhiyi was similar, as if boosted by an adrenaline shot, dedicating almost all his time to studying except for sleeping.

Especially in the last few mock exams, he improved remarkably fast.

Even Li Yue couldn’t help but tease him, asking if this was a case of being unlucky in love but fortunate in exams?

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the college entrance exams.

Shen Juanzhi originally wanted to drive her to the exam in his ostentatious sports car, but Shen Weiyi refused; she didn’t want to become the subject of gossip on the first day of her exams.

Eventually, both of them took Secretary Jiang’s car to the exam site. Stepping out of the car, Shen Juanzhi said to her, "Don’t stress too much. It’s okay if you don’t do well; Dad can support you."

Next to them, another parent was comforting their child, "Relax, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It’s okay if you don’t perform well. What if you can’t get into a good university? It’s not the end of the world. At worst, I won’t have you as my child."

Shen Weiyi couldn’t help but glance at the speaker and realized it was someone she knew.

Beside her, Li Yue wore an expression of utter desolation. After meeting Shen Weiyi’s gaze, his face flushed red immediately, and he yelled at his mother in a low voice, "Is this how you comfort someone?"

Instantly, she heard a slap, his mother smacking him on the forehead, "Silly boy, you scared me!"

The sound alone was painful to hear.

"Dad, I’m going in now," Shen Weiyi withdrew her gaze, saying goodbye to Shen Juan.

"Mom, I’m going in too," Li Yue hurriedly waved at his mom, only to be glared at, "What’s the rush? I haven’t finished speaking."

Li Yue: ...

If he was guilty, let the law punish him, not his mother ’comforting’ him during the college exams.

After walking a few steps, Shen Weiyi saw Jiang Zhiyi at the school gate.

His gaze was fixed on her, seemingly waiting specifically for her.

Shen Weiyi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, she walked over to him.

"Good luck on your exam!" Jiang Zhiyi said warmly as she approached.

Shen Weiyi: "You too."

After speaking, the two fell silent.

Finally, it was Shen Weiyi who broke the silence. "I should go in now."

"Yao Yao." As she turned around, Jiang Zhiyi called out to her again.

Shen Weiyi turned back.

Jiang Zhiyi: "After the college exams, can we meet? I have something to say to you."

"Okay!" Shen Weiyi looked at him intently for a moment, then nodded.
