Chapter 125: You've Already Graduated, What Are You Still Hiding?
"Miaomiao, Miaomiao, wake up, there is an exam today"
A sound woke Lin Miaomiao from her sleep. She opened her eyes and moved on the bed.
"Hmm, what time is it?"
"It's half past six. Hurry up and wash up. I'll go downstairs to check on the breakfast."
Wang Shengnan seemed to have gotten up a long time ago. She was dressed in a cheongsam, but the gorgeous dress could not hide the anxiety on her face. She looked even more nervous than Lin Miaomiao, a college entrance examination student. She couldn't sit still at this time and kept finding things to do.
"It's only half past six."
Lin Miaomiao was speechless, but she didn't try to challenge Wang Shengnan's patience. She got up from the bed in the hotel, washed up, and went to the restaurant to eat.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we thought that Wang Shengnan's behavior of staring at the kitchen would be conspicuous, but we didn't expect that there were more than one or two parents doing the same. Several parents stood by the stall of the open kitchen and stared at the chef who was making breakfast in the kitchen without blinking. I don't know if it was because it was summer or because the parents' gazes were too scorching, but sweat kept coming out of the chef's forehead, and he had to wipe it off with the towel around his neck from time to time.
It had to be wiped clean, after all, a parent had just asked what would happen if his sweat fell into the pot. The chef thought that he couldn't even cook his meals so cleanly. After thinking about it, it was the child's college entrance examination, so he just had to bear with it.
Seeing Lin Miaomiao, Wang Shengnan retracted her gaze towards the kitchen and called Lin Miaomiao to eat quickly. Lin Miaomiao served several breakfast dishes according to her preferences. Wang Shengnan looked at them and couldn't help but speak again.
"Eat less. Eating too much will make you sleepy and affect your exams."
"I know, I know. Mom, have you eaten it?"
"I'm not in a hurry, eat quickly and read more Chinese books after eating."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Lin Miaomiao felt a little helpless. She felt that Wang Shengnan was more like a student facing the college entrance examination than herself. After finishing her breakfast leisurely, Lin Miaomiao brought down the things she would need for the college entrance examination and sat in the hotel lobby, silently reading the texts that the teacher had emphasized.
Lin Miaomiao felt a little bored while reading the text that she could memorize. She took out her phone and sent a message to Wu Xianyu.
Meow Meow doesn't eat fish: Salted fish, what are you doing?
Xianyu: I'm reading a book. I'm already at the school gate.
Meow Meow doesn't eat fish: Why are you going so early?
Xianyu: It’s okay anyway. Have you finished your meal?
Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: I have eaten and am reading a Chinese textbook. I feel like my mom is more nervous than I am. She is just busy doing nothing.
While typing, Lin Miaomiao would occasionally glance at Wang Shengnan who was chatting with other candidates' parents. Judging from the fact that she occasionally flipped the bag hanging on her arm and her constantly changing sitting posture, she must be in great torment.
Xianyu: Haha, Auntie is concerned about you. I just saw Mr. Tang and Teacher Tian. I said hello to them. From what I heard, they are going to your examination room.
Seeing this news, Lin Miaomiao's eyelids jumped, and her back, which was originally leaning on the chair, straightened up.
Miaomiao doesn't eat fish: Isn't Teacher Tian about to give birth? Why is she still walking around?
Miaomiao doesn’t eat fish: I’m going to the school gate with my mom now
In the milk tea shop in front of Elite Middle School, Wu Xianyu saw Lin Miaomiao's message, smiled, stood up, took his things and walked towards the school. It was almost time.
Wang Shengnan and Lin Miaomiao arrived at the entrance of the examination room and soon spotted Tian Shanshan and Tang Yuanming. After all, Tian Shanshan's figure was quite eye-catching.
Seeing Tian Shanshan with a big belly, Wang Shengnan hurriedly walked a few steps, came in front of the two, and blamed Tang Yuanming
"Why are you still out here when you're about to give birth? How can you be a man?"
After saying that, Wang Shengnan hurriedly bent down and asked Tian Shanshan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, something. Tang Yuanming could only smile awkwardly without explaining.
After making sure that Tian Shanshan was fine, Wang Shengnan looked around and looked at Tang Yuanming.
"Jiaojiao didn't bring it."
"They were sent to school. Their primary schools were not occupied, so they did not have holidays."
"That's fine, so I don't have to take care of another one."
Wang Shengnan straightened up and looked at Lin Miaomiao, who was playing with her phone next to her. She reached out and took the phone away and put it in her pocket.
"Stop watching, read more books"
Lin Miaomiao originally wanted to complain, but when she saw Tang Yuanming and Tian Shanshan looking at her with a smile, she immediately shrank her neck and silently flipped through the book.
People from the same examination room kept coming to the door, and some people from the science class saw Tian Shanshan and came to say hello. As more and more people came, students began to enter.
Lin Miaomiao waved to Wang Shengnan and others, and walked briskly into the examination room. Wang Shengnan looked at her from behind, her lips pale and her face full of worry.
Tang Yuanming spoke to comfort
"Big sister, you are just too concerned. I know Miaomiao's grades. They won't be bad. Big sister, you might as well think about what university Miaomiao should go to."
After hearing Tang Yuanming's words, Wang Shengnan was a little absent-minded. She thought of what Lin Miaomiao had said before, that she wanted to go to Peking University with Xiaoyu. She didn't take it seriously at the time, but looking at the results of several subsequent mock exams, it was not impossible.
As the door to the examination room closed, the parents gathered at the door gradually dispersed, but some did not leave. Wang Shengnan turned to look at Tian Shanshan.
"Why don't you sit in my car? It's very cold this morning."
"Alright, thank you, big sister."
Wang Shengnan waved her hand indifferently and prepared to help Tian Shanshan up and walk towards the car.
As a result, Tian Shanshan stood up and her face changed before she even took a step. Wang Shengnan saw her expression and immediately guessed what was going on. She spoke quickly.
"Yuanming! Go get something quickly. Your wife is about to give birth. I'll go call an ambulance."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Tang Yuanming had experienced this kind of thing before, so he was not too panicked. He and Wang Shengnan separated and drove their own cars with everything prepared.
Fortunately, there were ambulances prepared near the school to prevent accidents. When they saw Tian Shanshan's condition, they turned on the sirens and drove towards the hospital.
When Tang Yuanming arrived by car, Tian Shanshan had already entered the delivery room. Putting down the things in his hands, Tang Yuanming looked at Wang Shengnan. He looked quite calm, but there was a slight tremor in his tone.
"Sister, is Shanshan okay?"
After the initial chaos, Wang Shengnan has now calmed down and gestured to Tang Yuanming to sit down.
"Okay, don't worry, the doctor said everything is fine and it will go well."
That being said, as time went by, Tang Yuanming could not help but feel flustered when he heard Tian Shanshan's painful voice in the delivery room. He walked back and forth in the corridor with his hands behind his back, muttering something that only he could hear.
"You shouldn't have given birth to a child. You're already so old, why don't you just live a good life? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Wang Shengnan looked at her watch from time to time and calculated the time silently in her mind. She had experienced this before and was still calm.
"Ring——" the bell for collecting papers rang, and Lin Miaomiao let out a breath, with no sadness or joy on her face. She didn't have too many feelings, as if she had just passed an ordinary exam.
I walked out of the examination room, took back my things, and left the examination center.
But what puzzled her was that she didn't see Wang Shengnan at the door. She took out her cell phone and called Wang Shengnan. The phone rang for a while and finally got through. The voice on the other end was noisy. Lin Miaomiao asked in confusion:
"Mom, where are you? I've finished my first exam."
"Oh no, I forgot about you. Your teacher Tian just gave birth to a boy. I'm going back right away."
Hearing this, Lin Miaomiao quickly spoke
"Hey, Mom, don't worry, you stay there first. I'm going to have lunch at the hotel anyway, so I can go back by myself. Teacher Tian needs help, so you can stay there first."
Wang Shengnan looked at the scene around her. People from Tang Yuanming and Tian Shanshan's families had come, but the elders of both families were old and probably needed someone to take care of them, let alone take care of others. She pursed her lips and said with a complicated tone.
"Then go back and have a rest after dinner. Remember to set a time and don't oversleep. I'll call you then."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shengnan returned to the ward and looked at the people in the room. She felt fortunate that if she gave birth to a child at this age, there would be no one to help take care of her. Fortunately, she did not keep the child. After calming down, Wang Shengnan walked over to help take care of Tian Shanshan.
Lin Miaomiao returned to the hotel alone, had lunch, chatted with Wu Xianyu for a while, took a nap, and then got up to prepare for the math test.
Lin Miaomiao found that it made no difference what she did whether Wang Shengnan was there or not. Wang Shengnan didn't come back until the next day after the exam. After finishing the last exam, Lin Miaomiao called Wang Shengnan.
"Hey, Mom, I've finished my exam. Are you coming back today?"
"Well, it's probably going to be hard to go back in a short time. Your teacher Tian has never taken care of children, and their elders are all old. Anyway, you have finished your exams, so you can just have fun during this time."
"Okay, I have to go to school to take graduation photos tomorrow, after that I'll just play around."
Lin Miaomiao's tone was cheerful. She was really liberated now. After the exam, Wang Shengnan was not at home. Good days were coming. After hanging up the phone, Lin Miaomiao saw the teacher of Elite Middle School and got in the car prepared by the school and returned to school.
When we returned to the classroom, it was noisy and everyone had a look of liberation and were beaming with joy, completely different from the lifeless look they had had before.
Lin Miaomiao had just sat down and was about to talk to Wu Xianyu when she suddenly found herself being hugged by a pair of hands. The feeling was very familiar, and Wu Xianyu's mouth was close to her ear.
"Now that the exam is over, it doesn't matter whether I'm exposed or not."
"hey-hey"
Lin Miaomiao also hugged Wu Xianyu with her backhand. Considering that they were still in school, she did not kiss him directly. However, this caused people to exclaim, and some people spoke up after the event.
“I knew they were together a long time ago.”
But soon they joined in the noise, and after a while the commotion gradually stopped.
Everyone was waiting for Tang Yuanming to arrive, but he was nowhere to be seen. Lin Miaomiao patted her head belatedly.
"Ah, Teacher Tian has given birth. Old Tang probably can't take care of the school anymore."
Wu Xianyu was attracted by Lin Miaomiao's words.
"Teacher Tian gave birth, boy or girl?"
The classroom, which had been gradually becoming quiet, became noisy again because of the absence of the teacher. However, before the noise could get louder, a figure walked in from the classroom door. Zhao Rongbao walked up to the podium with a smile on his face.
"Come on, students, be quiet for a moment. If you have any emotions, wait until after class to vent them. I'll tell you something."
"First of all, your class teacher can't come today. Teacher Tian gave birth to a son, so I will temporarily be your class teacher. Second, you should go to school tomorrow as usual to take graduation photos. You can decide whether to wear school uniform or your own clothes. The school does not have any requirements. Third, your majors are as follows. After the exams, you probably have an idea of what scores you can get. Think about it carefully during this period. Finally, after the exams tomorrow, you will officially have a holiday. The next time you come will be to get your diplomas. The time will be from June 6th to June 27th. You should coordinate your time. Okay, that's all. I'm leaving now. When the bell rings, you should go home or go back to the dormitory."
After saying that, Zhao Rongbao walked out of the classroom slowly with his hands behind his back, leaving the classroom behind him in an uproar. People wearing their own clothes and those wearing school uniforms all had something to say, and no one was willing to give in.
Wu Xianyu didn't care. The school uniform wasn't ugly anyway, and his taste was just that. It was all black, white and gray, and not as good-looking as the school uniform. He could wear his watch, though.
Thinking of this, Wu Xianyu pulled Lin Miaomiao together to discuss what to wear.
"Miao Miao, when you go home tonight, please bring my watch from the cabinet next to my bed. I will wear it tomorrow."
"Is it the 81 piece?"
When talking about the watch, Lin Miaomiao's eyes lit up. She liked that watch very much, but it was a men's watch and she couldn't wear it. Later, when she found out that it was something left to her by Xianyu's father, Lin Miaomiao had even less intention of wearing it herself.
"Well, graduation is an important moment anyway, so we should take it seriously."
"Would you like me to help you pick out some clothes?"
Wu Xianyu raised his eyebrows
"You want to wear your own clothes? I thought you wanted to wear school uniform."
"Oh, I've been wearing the school uniform for three years. It would be so boring if I still wear it for graduation photos. I'd rather wear my own clothes."
"Okay, then you can help me choose, but I don't think you can choose anything, my wardrobe is all black, white and gray."
"Don't worry, the mountain man has a clever plan."
Lin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, obviously having thought of something. Wu Xianyu smiled as he looked at her wanton smile.
The final result of the discussion was to wear their own clothes. After all, there were more girls in the liberal arts class, and even if girls couldn't wear their own clothes at school, they would still bring one or two sets of nice clothes, and now was the time to use them.
Soon, the bell rang and everyone walked out of the classroom. Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu walked side by side towards the parking shed. Mai Ju followed Lin Miaomiao and watched him holding Wu Xianyu's arm. He smiled and said,
“This is not pretending anymore.”
Lin Miaomiao raised her chin proudly
"You've already graduated, why are you still hiding? If you don't show off now, you'll never have the chance again."
But when she met a teacher who was also off work downstairs, Lin Miaomiao retracted her hand as if by reflex. Wu Xianyu found it funny and squeezed her hand.
"Okay, go back, have a good sleep at night, don't stay up late"
"I know, I know. You don't need me to tell you. I also need to get a good night's sleep and make up for the sleep I missed before."
Lin Miaomiao had a determined look on her face, as if she was going to sleep forever.
