Chapter 140

Time flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon flow like water.

Before long, the date of the college entrance examination arrived.

In the early morning, Ji Ruochu opened the curtains to find that it was raining outside the window.

Tsk, the weather is not very good today.

Although she thought this in her heart, there was not the slightest displeasure on her face. On the contrary, she was even in a good enough mood to open the window a little to feel the cool breeze and rain outside.

At 8:15, Ji Mochen and his wife Ling Chujin accompanied Ji Ruochu to the school gate, where many students had already arrived early.

Ji Ruochu calmed her nervous parents in the car before getting out with an oil paper umbrella and her school bag.

This umbrella was custom made for her by her parents, with two golden carp jumping over the dragon gate painted on the red canopy, symbolizing good fortune.

Coincidentally, Ji Ruochu wore a knee-length beige dress today, with many light-colored lotus flowers blooming on the hem, which matched the umbrella quite well. Going up, there was a slender waist and curves that were beginning to develop.

She lifted her fair and slender hand slightly to reveal her swan-like neck and perfect jawline.

"Mom and dad, don't get out of the car. There are too many people. I'll walk over slowly by myself."

Seeing her parents about to get out of the car with an umbrella, Ji Ruochu stopped them.

Of course they were unwilling. Sharing a large umbrella with the same carp jumping over the dragon gate design, they followed carefully behind their daughter.

At 8:30, the candidates began entering through the school gate.

At 8:45, Ji Ruochu, who had already entered the exam room, found her seat.

The classroom was very quiet, but she could feel the unrest in every candidate's heart.

Of course, she was also extremely uneasy inside. After all... the efforts of so many years were finally being tested again. After lightly wiping the water stains on her shoes with a tissue, she took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped each of her fingers. Then... she took out the 3.0 version of the Wenqu Star pen that her father had customized for her.

Unlike the previous ones, this version of the pen was very low-key, with only a carving of the Wenqu Star logo on the barrel.

By the time she had neatly arranged her stationery on the desk, the invigilator had started unsealing the exam papers. Following the instructions of randomly selected front-row students to check the integrity of the papers and the audio prompts, they began distributing the papers.

After receiving the papers, candidates were not allowed to start yet. They could only inspect the papers to see if there were any defects or unclear photocopying.

While checking, Ji Ruochu also took a look at the last section on reading comprehension and essay writing. In just a few seconds, a hint of interest flashed through her eyes.

The essay topic this year... was a little interesting.

"Candidates may start answering now."

Following this audio prompt, the candidates in the exam hall finally began writing.

...

:30 a.m.

"The exam has ended. Candidates please stop writing."

With this, the Chinese language exam in the morning ended.

Although the exam was over, the rain showed no signs of stopping. On the contrary, it grew heavier and heavier.

Ji Ruochu looked at the rain outside and turned to take out the raincoat and boots she had prepared in advance from her school bag.

Hmm, compared to umbrellas, raincoats were indeed safer.

Not only did the rain not stop that day, it continued to drizzle all the way until the last day of the college entrance exam.

Of course, it wasn't only Capital City that had rain. There was heavy rain of varying degrees all over the country. Some areas were even affected enough to impact the college entrance exam.

As a result, in addition to the difficulty of the exam questions themselves, the heavy rains across the country were also trending topics on social media over the past few days.

As for celebrity trends... who dared compete for attention during this time?

This was what Ji Ruochu thought before opening her phone after the exam. But the moment she logged into the app, she was proven wrong.

Because at this moment, a familiar name was trending at the end of the hot search list on the social platform - Ji Mochen. When she clicked in confusion, what she saw were several photos taken by passersby.

It started with a parent who mainly posted not about Ji Mochen himself, but about their family of three sharing an oil paper umbrella with carp jumping over the dragon gate, and the overly eye-catching cheongsam worn by Ling Chujin.

【This family has a strong sense of ceremony. I want to know where to buy this umbrella. I want to get one too.】

Below was a series of +1s in agreement.

Then some netizens dug out the luxury custom logos on the umbrellas, and lamented the sky-high prices of the oil paper umbrellas.

At this point, no one had noticed the faces of the family of three under the umbrellas yet. Until—

Half an hour ago.

Since the rain had stopped and many parents and TV reporters had gathered outside the exam hall, the exceptionally good-looking couple was randomly picked from the parents waiting at the school gate for an interview.

This reporter was from the local Capital City Evening News. Quite old in age and not someone who followed celebrities, he regarded the couple as ordinary parents sending their child to exam.

And so, holding the red oil paper umbrella, the couple once again entered the public eye, including the exquisitely-made cheongsam worn by Ling Chujin.

"Are you two also parents sending your child to take the exam?" The reporter was clearly puzzled. After all, the couple in front of him looked very young.

"Yes, our daughter is also in her third year of high school this year." Ling Chujin smiled and answered. Beside her, Ji Mochen just nodded lightly. His deep eyes glanced at the camera for a moment, unexpectedly leaving people stunned by his handsomeness.

"We all know that after the college entrance exam ends, the children will usher in the time to fill out their preferences and embark on their future paths of development. May I ask if you two have any advice for your child's future life?"

"......None." "Huh?"

"In our family, our daughter has the final say. She can choose to apply for whatever she wants, and we will support her unconditionally."

After Ling Chujin spoke, Ji Mochen beside her added, "Yes, no matter what she wants to study or do, we will protect and support her all the way."

Hearing this answer, the reporter was stunned instantly. The next second, a smile appeared uncontrollably on his face. He proceeded to ask several more questions, but everyone’s focus was no longer on the content.

Until the end of the video, the barrage was filled with the three names “Ji Mochen”, “Ji Ruochu”, and “Ling Chujin”, along with a bunch of exclamation marks.

When she exited and looked again, the original trending search that was at the end had already rushed to first place.

Ji Ruochu helplessly held her forehead. She really had to say, the development of things was completely beyond expectation.

While she was battling the college entrance exam in the exam hall, her parents outside managed to top the hot search trends.

Hmm... how should I put it? Yes, like father like daughter indeed.
