Chapter 577 Finished the Exam, Napping at the Hotel

Chen Yuan was truly feeling great.

He hadn't expected such a smooth start.

Now, he could finally say that sentence.

Never had there been such a wonderful beginning; please cheer for me, please applaud me!

Lao Ting, your spirit in heaven can rest easy now.

As he walked out, Chen Yuan happened to bump into Sun Bai from the neighboring exam room.

Since this kid wasn't number 02, it meant that He Hongtao had only pulled strings for him to get a specific exam number.

Upon seeing him, Sun Bai greeted him proactively, "Hey, Chen Yuan."

"Hello, Brother Sun." Chen Yuan responded, and then, both to prove himself and as a reminder, he said, "We shouldn't talk about the exam content, right?"

"Of course not," Sun Bai said, expressing his full agreement and giving an okay sign. "Forget each subject after the exam."

That was a must.

After all, checking the answers wouldn't help with the next exam, but if you did poorly, especially if you made a regrettable mistake, it would be a complete disaster.

"Indeed," Chen Yuan nodded.

The two of them walked side by side.

However, as they walked, they realized they had nothing to talk about…

Indeed, between these two, if they weren't talking about studies or exams, what else was there?

And so, they walked all the way to the school gate.

"My parents are picking me up, I'm leaving," Sun Bai said with a wave, smiling.

"Okay, see you."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Then, right at the gate, he encountered Aunt Mei Fu, dressed in a striking black qipao, and her daughter, Zhou Fu.

"Auntie, Fu," Chen Yuan greeted them proactively.

"Oh my!" Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Aunt Fu put her hand on his shoulder, patted it, and said enthusiastically, "Let's go, let's have lunch together."

"Thank you, Auntie, but Xinyu and I have already booked a place," Chen Yuan said.

"Are you going to find her now?" Zhou Fu asked.

"Yeah, I'm taking a car to meet her at the hotel for lunch," Chen Yuan said.

"Which hotel?" Mother Fu asked.

"It's the Ji Hotel next to Fourth High," Chen Yuan said.

"That's perfect, that's where our Fufu is staying. Let's go together," Mother Fu said.

"What a coincidence?" Since that was the case, Chen Yuan had no reason to refuse, so he smiled sheepishly and agreed, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Fu for a ride in her luxury car."

"Aunt Fu?" Mother Fu was stunned by the address.

"Ah, ah… Zhou Fu and you look so much alike, it was a slip of the tongue," Chen Yuan explained.

He couldn't let Mother Fu know that his nickname for her was Puff Pastry Auntie.

"Is that so?" Covering her mouth, Mother Fu found it a bit amusing.

And Zhou Fu couldn't help but think to herself, "My mom thinks she's much prettier than me."

"Has Dad not arrived yet?" Zhou Fu asked.

"There aren't any parking spaces nearby, so he came early, but he can only drive around slowly. He should be here soon."

As she spoke, a Volvo S90 pulled up to the gate, and a man wearing a silver watch waved at them with a smile.

This was Father Fu?

Why another Volvo?

The Fu family really valued safety.

Indeed, safety was good, safety first.

"Hurry up and get in," Mother Fu said, pulling Chen Yuan's arm.

"Ah… okay, okay."

Chen Yuan quickly agreed with a smile, and then followed Zhou Fu to the back seat, politely saying to Father Fu in the front, "Uncle, hello, I'm Chen Yuan."

"So you're Chen Yuan," Father Fu said with a smile upon hearing this, "Zhou Fu told me before that someone at school was bullying her, and you even beat them up. I wanted to treat you to a meal back then."

She even told Father Fu about this?

But which time are you talking about?

He had beaten people up for Fu Zi more than once.

Of course, one time was in a dream.

Zhou Fu was shocked. She hadn't expected her father to say something like that, and she looked at Chen Yuan in astonishment.

Actually, what she told her father wasn't about Uncle Zheng Qi, but about the time in her dream when he helped her beat up that boy from middle school. After all, Zheng Qi's situation was too serious…

So, fabricated things couldn't be said.

The reason she said this was to reassure her parents that she had someone to stand up for her at school, and that she got along well with her classmates. It wasn't out of vanity or to show off this act of heroism.

"It's all a small matter. Zhou Fu usually takes care of me too. If someone bullies her, then as her desk mate, I definitely have to step up. If other classmates see it, they would definitely help too."

Chen Yuan displayed magnanimity and cheerfulness, with a "we're all brothers" attitude.

After all, he wasn't sure if this Father Fu was a daughter slave who might see him as some hooligan for getting involved in such things.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Zhou Fu quickly interrupted the conversation.

"Then how was the exam today, Xiao Yuan?" Mother Fu asked curiously.

After all, she had heard that he was a super genius, one of the best in the city, so she was quite curious.

"It was alright, I finished everything, there shouldn't be any problems," Chen Yuan said.

"That composition… of course, I'm not checking answers, I just want to know if the direction was right," Zhou Fu said particularly cautiously.

"Go ahead and ask," Chen Yuan said calmly.

Thus, Zhou Fu held her breath and said with great trepidation, "The material said to talk about the role of telling a story, its significance for individuals and for the nation. So, I wrote about how there are now many good deeds that are being recognized as examples of touching China. This is telling a good example of a Chinese person, and then bringing strength to the nation, inspiring people to move forward and promoting positive energy."

As she spoke, the parents in the front were also waiting for Chen Yuan's reply with great anticipation.

They hadn't been to school in a long time and didn't quite understand these aspects of the exam.

Therefore, they could only trust the authority.

And Chen Yuan was such an authority.

So, was Zhou Fu's composition off-topic?

When she came out, Zhou Fu was a little anxious because of this.

"Fu, you shouldn't check answers like this," Chen Yuan said at this moment.

Hearing this, the two people in the front were startled.

Zhou Fu also tensed up, straightening her body: "Is it, is it off-topic?"

"No, it's still relevant, there's no problem with writing it like this, don't worry," Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, the parents in front also relaxed and were no longer so nervous.

"Oh my!" Zhou Fu also relaxed, her firm chest slightly expanding, and then she patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, "You really scared me to death, really."

"Although it's not off-topic, it's really not right to review the previous subject after you finish the exam," Chen Yuan reminded. "What if you did write off-topic?"

"..." Hearing this, Zhou Fu bit her lip, and she agreed with Chen Yuan's statement.

Indeed, even if she wrote off-topic, there was no way to save it, and asking wouldn't make a difference.

Moreover, if it really was off-topic, it meant that she would lose at least 15 points compared to usual.

If there was such a catastrophic mistake, then the next math exam would be over…

She would lose in mindset first.

"That's right," Zhou Fu, holding her forehead, knew her mistake, and she was a little scared, especially when she self-reflected and said, "After the math exam, I won't care about anything, really."

"Yes, that's the right way to do it," Chen Yuan really wanted Fu Zi to do well on the exam, so he didn't want her to fall into the wrong spiral.

"But fortunately, the Chinese exam was a smooth landing," Zhou Fu said sincerely with relief.

The parents in front, seeing that Zhou Fu had received Chen Yuan's approval, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the gaokao wasn't the only way out, who wouldn't want their child to have more choices? The more affluent middle class families, the more they valued education (generally speaking, not all).

At the same time, they also felt that Zhou Fu had really made the right friend.

Chen Yuan's reminder to her, coming from him, their daughter completely listened to it, and even reflected on herself.

Of course, it also showed from the side that he and his daughter had a good relationship. After all, criticizing at this time was what true friends would do.

And so, the car drove to the vicinity of the hotel.

Because Chen Yuan had arranged to meet Xia Xinyu here, he took the initiative to say, "I'll get off here."

Then, he said goodbye to Father Fu and Mother Fu, and agreed to see Zhou Fu later, after all, they were staying at the same hotel.

Although his aunt helped him book the Ji Hotel, because the two of them wanted to eat something more to their taste, they met at a homely restaurant.

"Hehe, hello," Xia Xinyu waved at Chen Yuan.

"In a good mood?"

"Yeah, I'm in good shape, so there's no problem."

"Okay, then let's go in and eat."

Because the two of them had booked a small private room in advance, they went straight in.

The business these few days of the gaokao would be very hot, so the dishes were also ordered in advance.

"What do you want to drink? Coke?" Xia Xinyu asked.

"There's caffeine in that, forget it, let's get some coconut juice," Chen Yuan said.

"Okay."

The two of them ordered coconut juice.

Then, several fragrant dishes were served.

There was braised fatty intestines, stir-fried green peppers with pork, a stir-fried lettuce, and a stewed chicken soup.

Finally, a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was served.

The two of them definitely couldn't finish so many dishes.

But the minimum spending for booking a private room was this much, and plus, during the exam period, they had to eat their fill, eat well, so it was like this.

Xinyu always had a good appetite, and the two of them ate lunch quite happily.

"I..." Xia Xinyu hesitated.

"Just talk about the composition," Chen Yuan said.

"Yeah!" Xia Xinyu said, seeing that the other party said so, and then showed a smile, "For the composition, I directly used spreading the good voice of China in the first paragraph."

"Then no need to say more, perfectly relevant, if the writing level is good later, 50+ is no problem," Chen Yuan gave an okay sign.

"Yay!" Xia Xinyu showed a very happy expression.

Although she hadn't checked the standard answers, what Chen Yuan said was an understanding that exceeded the standard answers.

Believing him was definitely not wrong.

What's more, his evaluation was so high.

"Babe, you're really amazing, you really guessed the question. The materials I accumulated can basically be used, there's no waste at all, it's all useful work," Xia Xinyu said with particular admiration.

Before the exam, even saying that at the end of the second semester of the second year of high school, Chen Yuan had predicted that it should be a positive energy-themed composition, the range that could be manipulated was very small, the key to the problem was to sing well. And with the arrival of the national卷, he was even more certain of the direction of the composition.

Since it wasn't off-topic and it was what he had been accumulating and simulating, then the Chinese pass should be easily passed.

Of course, looking at Chen Yuan's expression like this, he must have done very well on the exam!

"Good, good, very energetic, didn't lose face," Chen Yuan reached out and gave Xia Xinyu a thumbs up.

"How about you?" Xia Xinyu asked with concern.

"Basically no problem, see the next one. But no matter what level it is, it's all within my range."

Chen Yuan hadn't lost a single point on the last few math exams.

So, basically after finishing the Chinese exam, the pattern for this time was set.

"That's great," Xia Xinyu clapped her hands happily, it was great to have such a start.

After all, so many urgent things happened last night, it was a blessing that it didn't affect her.

"Yeah, eat well, sleep after eating."

Chen Yuan picked up a piece of sea cucumber from the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and sent it to Xia Xinyu's mouth.

Xia Xinyu wanted him to eat it, but since he was like this, she had to smile and open her mouth and eat it.

After the two of them finished eating, they didn't linger for a moment and went straight to the hotel.

And in the elevator, they happened to meet Zhou Fu who was preparing to go back to the hotel for an afternoon nap.

"Oh, what a coincidence," Xia Xinyu said.

"Yeah, Siwen is also staying at this hotel," Zhou Fu said.

"Why?" Chen Yuan asked, puzzled.

"This is super difficult to book, it was booked two months in advance. When I asked Siwen if she wanted to book here, she said ok, so we were together," Zhou Fu said.

"Is it that difficult?" Hearing this, Chen Yuan realized how thoughtful his aunt was.

He thought it was just spending more money, but it turned out that she spent a lot of effort.

"What floor are you on?" Zhou Fu asked.

Chen Yuan: "8th floor."

"Oh, we're on the same floor," Zhou Fu said with a smile.

And so, the three of them got off the elevator on the eighth floor together. Then, they walked and talked in the hallway.

Until they stopped together in front of a room.

Zhou Fu paused, then covered her mouth and whispered gossipingly, "Two people in one room?"

"It's too difficult to book..." Xia Xinyu explained with a red face.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Gesturing, Zhou Fu smiled and left.

Then, Xia Xinyu swiped the room card, and with a beep, opened the door.

As soon as the door closed, she was airborne.

Only then did she realize that she had been lifted up by Chen Yuan in a princess carry...

She had no choice but to put her arms around Chen Yuan's neck and cooperate with a smile.

Afterwards, the girl was carried onto the bed. And Chen Yuan also lifted the quilt and went to sleep next to her.

"Wait, set an alarm," Xia Xinyu raised her hand.

After she set the alarm, Chen Yuan hugged her, kissed her forehead twice, and then hugged her for an afternoon nap...
