Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Regarding the university major, Gu Xiao had not thought about it until the college entrance examination was about to begin. She did not have any particular university that she wanted to go to, let alone a major she liked.

It was just only when she was studying that Gu Xiao was relaxed and did not fret about her major. Under the guidance of the teacher and Chu An, her results steadily improved.

In the last mock exam before the college entrance examination, Gu Xiao’s results were already second in the cohort, and she was only a few points away from Chu An, who was first in the cohort.

This was good news for Gu Xiao and Chu An.

Soon, it was two days before the college entrance examination.

Just as Gu Xiao and Chu An were checking the admission ticket, stationery, and other things they needed tomorrow, the doorbell of their villa was pressed.

Gu Xiao and Chu An looked at each other and saw the trace of question in each other’s eyes.

“It’s already so late. Who would come over?”

Chu An shook his head and pulled Gu Xiao’s hand. “Sit down. I’ll go take a look.”

With that, Chu An stood up first and walked towards the door. When Chu An opened the door and saw the person standing at the door, he was slightly stunned for a moment.

After coming back to his senses, he turned to the side and made way for the visitor. “Brother, why are you here?”

Ji Chen, who was at the door, glanced at Chu An. He was still a little unhappy with Chu An calling him “Brother”, but he didn’t say anything.

“The college entrance examination is in two days. I heard that your school’s examination hall is different. Are you two planning to go to the examination hall alone?” Ji Chen said as he sat down on the sofa in the living room and looked at Gu Xiao with an inquiring gaze.

Although the examination venues of their school’s candidates were different, it was unknown if it was luck, but Gu Xiao and Chu An’s examination venues were in the same school, but their classrooms were different.

Therefore, the two of them discussed going to the examination hall together on the day of the college entrance examination.

This was not a big deal. When Ji Chen asked, Gu Xiao nodded in agreement. “Yes.”

“Is your examination hall far away? Which school is it?”

“It’s not very far. It’s only an hour’s journey from the villa,” Gu Xiao answered honestly.

Hearing this, Ji Chen frowned slightly. “This distance is not considered close. Which school is it exactly?”

Gu Xiao and Chu An looked at each other. Seeing Ji Chen’s insistence, they still told him which school they would be sitting for their exam in.

Ji Chen thought for a moment in his mind and said to Gu Xiao, “I have a large flat near this school, and it is only ten minutes away from your examination hall. I will take you there tomorrow.”

Ji Chen did not take the college entrance examination in the past, but chose to study abroad. But he knew the importance of the college entrance examination, not to mention that he knew that Gu Xiao valued the college entrance examination very much.

Therefore, before the college entrance examination, Ji Chen wanted to help Gu Xiao get rid of some hidden dangers that might appear.

“Brother, will this be too much trouble for you?”

The moment Ji Chen’s cold gaze landed on Gu Xiao, it became gentler. “It is no trouble at all. 1 will arrange for someone to clean the rooms tomorrow morning, and I will pick you up in the afternoon.”

Gu Xiao didn’t agree immediately. Instead, her gaze landed on Chu An.

After all, this matter did not concern her alone. She had to seek the opinion of another person.

Sensing Gu Xiao’s actions, Ji Chen also turned to look at Chu An. However, when he faced Chu An, the look in his eyes was not as gentle as before.

Meeting their gazes, the corners of Chu An’s lips curled up slightly.

“We’ll just do as Brother says.”

After receiving Chu An’s reply, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction in his heart.

“Then it’s settled. 1’11 pick you up tomorrow.”

As Ji Chen spoke, he nodded slightly at Gu Xiao, stood up and said goodbye.

After sending Ji Chen out of the villa, they looked at each other with a smile in their eyes.

“I didn’t expect Brother Chen to be so energetic like this.” Chu An reached out and hugged Gu Xiao’s shoulder, leading her to the sofa.

Gu Xiao nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

“However, with the residence provided by Brother, we can rest more during the college entrance examination.”

The college entrance examination usually started at nine in the morning. If they lived at home, they would have to wake up at seven-thirty at the latest, and they would have to pray that there would not be a traffic jam on the way.

They could even get up at 8:30 am if they went to Ji Chen’s place.

“En, Brother Chen is still more considerate,” Chu An echoed.

After the two of them checked the things they needed for the college entrance examination again, they did not stay in the living room for long and returned to their rooms to sleep..
