Chapter 47: Finally Graduated

  The last semester of junior high school was also the most peaceful semester for Ji Xin'an, who studied hard every day like everyone else, played piano in his free time, and stopped almost everything except for daily training.

  Time flies, as the weather starts to warm up slowly, the high school entrance examination is also entering the countdown, and the school has begun to prepare for everyone to fill in their volunteer applications.

  The process of filling out the application for junior high school is different from that of senior high school, it starts before the exam. In fact, it's just a matter of choosing between key high schools, ordinary high schools, or vocational schools, there aren't many options.

  And the best high school in this city is the high school department of the school where Ji Xin'an and others are located. These four people have all applied for the high school of their own school without any controversy, and they should all be able to get in if there's no big accident. If nothing changes, Ji Xin'an thinks that this awkward way of getting along will continue.

  In the last few days of school, teachers basically didn't care and it was all up to us. Some classmates didn't even come to school anymore.

  Yao Wenhao was busy finding Ji Xin'an to play at the shooting range again, and this place has been constantly improving, so every time the two come, there will be new tricks. This time, they added moving targets and human-shaped targets.

  Both of them were interested in the moving target, as it was their first time playing. Neither of them had a good aim, and they basically didn't hit the red heart. Sometimes they even missed the target, but since it was their first time, nobody really cared, as long as they had fun.

  Because they had a great time, when it was time to leave, the sky had already darkened. The two of them pushed their bikes side by side, chatting as they walked in the direction of Ji Xin An's home.

  "The college entrance exam is just around the corner, are you feeling a bit nervous?" Yao Wen-hao asked with a smile as he looked at Ji Xin-an who was still in high spirits.

  "I was actually quite nervous, but coming here today to relax has helped a lot." Although Ji Xin'an wasn't really that nervous, she didn't want to waste Yao Wenhuai's kind intention of bringing her here to unwind, so she went along with his words.

  "You're just making me laugh, with your current state, you'll be lucky to pass the exam in a week's time, and yet you're telling me that someone who can get third place in the whole year level would be nervous? I don't believe it." Yao Wen Hao shook his head with a smile.

  "I don't believe it." Ji Xin'an also burst out laughing.

  The weather at night was a bit cool, and Ji Xin'an, who was only wearing short sleeves, shivered with the cold wind.

  "It's cold, isn't it?" Yao Wenhao said, and surprisingly pulled out a coat from his backpack.

  "How did you still bring clothes?" Ji Xin'an immediately felt a lot warmer.

  "I thought you'd only be here for a bit of fun, so I didn't think you'd leave too early. Afraid that you'd get back too late and catch a chill, I brought an extra coat just in case. Didn't expect it to actually come in handy." Yao Wen Hua smiled as he looked at her wearing his clothes, her slender figure shrinking inside, looking somewhat comical.

  "You're really meticulous, it's rare to find a guy as meticulous as you." Ji Xin'an said with some emotion, suddenly feeling a little envious of Yu Yao for having such a meticulous brother.

  "So you hope your future boyfriend is a careful person?" Yao Wenhuo asked tentatively.

  "How could I ask that, I really haven't thought about what kind of person my boyfriend would be." Ji Xin'an smiled, as if she were already over thirty years old and had only talked about love once, and after rebirth, she hadn't even thought about emotional things.

  "How could you not have thought of it? Just look at the girls in our class, who doesn't dream of having a passionate romance every day, holding a romance novel and hoping to meet the male lead from the book." Yao Wenhao turned his head to look at her, she was really special, at this age when people usually dream about these things, she had never thought of them, he was somewhat unbelieving.

  "I'd rather live a dull and ordinary life. If I had to go through the kind of turmoil that Ma Jingtao did every day, what kind of emotions could withstand that? And if I were to encounter another super domineering and possessive male lead, I'd rather not live at all - just film a tragic love story instead." As soon as Ji Xin'an said this, she suddenly thought of Jiang Rui Bin, a man who exuded an aura of danger and was absolutely suitable for playing such a male lead. However, thinking about the poor female lead filled her with sympathy, and then she wondered why she had thought of him in the first place - it would be best if she never saw someone like that again.

  "So that's what you think, there's no passionate love in life?" Yao Wenhao saw that she also had a clear view on romance.

  "Maybe there is, but I don't want to encounter it. What I envy most is the kind of love my parents have, a plain and simple, mutually supportive love." Ji Xin'an shook her head.

  "But some things are like the more you don't want to encounter them, the more they will come to your side. Who knows, maybe in the future you'll have a earth-shattering romance." Yao Wen Hua was surprised by her thoughts, but still couldn't help teasing her.

  "Shut up, Crow's Mouth." Ji Xin'an rolled her eyes impatiently.

  "Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore. Pfft pfft pfft, this time it's not working." Yao Wenhao hurriedly made a pleading gesture and pretended to spit out water.

  Both of them burst out laughing, but even if Ji Xinan was a reincarnated person, she couldn't predict her own future. How could she have thought that sometimes things in the world are just so unpredictable, and sometimes a joke would come true?

  On the day of the exam, Ji Xin'an refused her parents' company and rode to the examination hall as usual. When she arrived, the examination hall was surrounded by several circles of parents, enduring the high temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius while waiting for their children inside.

  Ji Xin'an felt relieved that she hadn't let her parents come and suffer with her, and walked into the examination room lightly, starting her second middle school entrance exam.

  Compared to her past life, she is now much more confident and has a clear goal for the future, no longer feeling lost. This exam hall serves as a turning point, indicating that from now on, she will embark on another path she has always yearned for.

  The questions on the middle school entrance exam were not very difficult for Ji Xin'an, and he basically finished each subject ahead of time. When the last paper was handed in to the podium, it also meant that Ji Xin'an's junior high school life had come to an end.

  Ji Xin'an felt a little melancholy, but more was her yearning for the future.

  After a few days of rest, the results of the middle school entrance examination were released. Ji Xin'an was admitted to the high school affiliated with her current school and became this year's top scorer in the city.

  But for Ji Xin'an, this was not the most exciting thing, but rather that his master, who had not been seen for over a year, finally returned.

  When she saw Zou Weiguo's figure again on the training ground, Ji Xin'an excitedly rushed up and hung on his neck, shouting.

  Although the time spent with Zou Weiguo was not long, Ji Xin'an felt that he was like his own father, caring for himself and helping him, so he would occasionally be coquettish with him, and when happy, he would make some exaggerated movements.

  Both of them had already gotten used to this mode of interaction, but in the eyes of others, it was not a gentlemanly thing to do. In this somewhat closed-off era, her actions were seen as shocking and unconventional by Yu Yao and the other three people.

  "Easy, easy, you can be gentler, if you use a bit more strength, Master will have to sacrifice himself." Zou Weiguo didn't push Ji Xin'an away, but instead pouted.

  "What's wrong with you?" Ji Xin'an put down his hand and only then did he see that he still had a bandage wrapped around his arm, which he hadn't noticed in his excitement.

  "It's nothing, just a minor injury. But if you come at me two more times, then there really will be trouble." Zhou Weiguo smiled carelessly.

  "Sorry, Master, did I hurt you?" Ji Xin'an looked at his injured arm and wanted to take a look, but was also afraid of touching it.

  "Alright, I said it's nothing so it's nothing. Don't make such a pitiful face, it doesn't suit you." Zou Weiguo comforted her, casually scratching the tip of her nose.

  "Master, when did you come back? Why did it take so long for you to return?" Ji Xin'an felt at ease seeing that he was really fine and no longer cared about his scraped nose.

  "It's probably because I'm injured that they gave me leave." Zhou Weiguo gestured with his bandaged arm.

  "What a capitalist." Ji Xin'an muttered.

  Just as they were chatting, Yao Wenhao and three others walked over. "Zhou Hui is back, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

  "Wen Hao, how are you guys also here? Yao Yao isn't the one who dislikes these things the most, why did she come along too? It's just like when we were kids, wherever Wen Hao goes, she follows." Zhou Weiguo looked at them with some surprise.

  "Zou Shu, you're really wrong this time. Yao Yao insisted on coming and I couldn't persuade her to stay behind, so I had no choice but to follow." Yao Wenhao explained with a smile.

  Yu Yao nodded, "I quite like it here now, and I can also exercise my body."

  "You've got a good idea, I support you. If your mom still disagrees, I'll help you persuade her." Zou Weiguo smiled at Yu Yao, thinking that as the daughter of a soldier, she should like these things.

  "Do you all know each other?" Ji Xin'an watched them with a familiar look, somewhat dazed, but then thought that since they were all living in the same compound, how could they not know each other?

  "Of course, I've watched them grow up, especially Yoyo, I even held her when she was little." Zhou Weiguo turned to look at Ji Xin'an.

  "Uncle Zou." Yu Yao was made somewhat embarrassed by him.

  "Alright, you guys play first, I have something to attend to with Anan, I'll leave first, you guys can go home and play later." Zou Weiguo pulled Ji Xin'an along as they left.

  Yao Wenhao had just seen Ji Xin'an hanging around Zou Weiguo's neck, and with a concerned look at Zou Weiguo's wound, he suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if something was fermenting and going bad.

  He didn't know what was wrong with him, although he had always said that he was pursuing Ji Xin'an, but he learned that he hadn't really fallen in love with her. Now, looking at the two leaving figures, Yao Wenhuai even had an urge to pull her back.
