020 Time for Exam

Yi Bao Charge For Mom: Cheng Ye! That's so hard to get into! My cousin tried last year and came home crying because the questions were so tough!

Love Yi Beyond Words:Buying your way in? Isn't that tarnishing my Yi's reputation? His own biological sister got in by passing the exam.

My Yi Wife : Agreed. Front-row seat to promote our little sister-in-law Qi Bao! She's good at studies, plays piano, lively personality—the pinnacle of sweet girls!

With the comparison to Tan Qi, in the eyes of all Tan Yi's fans, Tan Mo became synonymous with having no skills or knowledge.

As the topic's buzz climbed, some ordinary netizens finally wandered into the discussion.

Fan Blowing Undies: Confused. Why make a big deal out of such a trivial matter?

This MelonIsnt Sweet: Think about it, this Second Miss's life story is pretty pitiable. Growing up in the countryside, not good at studies, and now being compared unfavorably to her pampered, spoiled sister by netizens... Ah, there's that familiar feeling.

Humble Author On-site Pouring Concrete : Country girl acknowledged and brought home, but her sister compares her unfavorably, calling her illiterate. In response, she whips out her academic certificates, shocking the world. She turned out to be...

Ditch Again Ill Knock Your Balaclava Off : Stop,above, I've already dug out a whole novel with my toes just from that.

Pink Bunny : Feel like SY's fans are going overboard. This Second Miss suffered so much before being found. Even if she can't do anything and just lies around like a salted fish, that should be fine, right?

Passing Bulldozer : Agree. No need to be so malicious towards a young girl. After all, it's an open secret that a certain top-tier celeb only has a high school education.

Hold My Qin Tight : Agree. They're always badmouthing our Qin Nan and marketing him as a refined, elegant gentleman. Truth is, he's just a high school grad. Not much education, but a whole lot of nerve. HETUI (pfft, spit)——

The next morning, Old Mr. Tan returned from his morning exercise and heard the news from the butler, Wang Ming.

"Old sir, about this online topic... how about I find a way to get it deleted?" Wang Ming suggested.

"No need. Tell Lili to keep this under wraps and not let it affect Mo Mo's studying." Old Mr. Tan gave a cold snort. "If whoever is behind this wants the whole world to know, let them have their way."

He had a pretty good idea who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Just seeing how sufficient the subsequent evidence that was leaked showed that whoever stirred up this topic came prepared.

Wang Ming was still worried. "But what if..."

What if the Second Miss messed up the exam and lost confidence after seeing all this?

This granddaughter, found after so much difficulty, shouldn't they protect her like a treasure?

Old Mr. Tan clasped his hands behind his back, looking confident. "Old Wang, you need to have a little faith in our two girls."

He knew Tan Rou's temperament. Though low-key and taciturn, she was conscientious and responsible. For her to be so at ease going out with that Chong kid meant she must have a clear idea of Tan Mo's current academic level.

As for Tan Mo, she'd been burning the midnight oil doing practice problems these days, her dark circles getting darker by the day. Just seeing her made his heart ache. But surely, such hard work would eventually pay off.

Early in the morning, Huaisheng saw the news as soon as she woke up.

"Xing! Xing! Mo Mo's trending!" She grabbed the still-groggy Yuan Xing and shoved her phone at him.

"Let them trend. Let those people bounce around for a few more days..." Yuan Xing yawned. "When the results come out, they won't be able to bounce anymore."

Tan Mo had amnesia and didn't remember, but he knew very well...

Before the amnesia, she was a genius with a freakish memory, her learning ability absurdly strong. Add to that the fact he'd sent her so many exam prediction papers—it would be a miracle if she failed.

"Xing, you're so calm."

Yuan Xing just patted her shoulder meaningfully.

He knew too much.

The topic about Tan Mo lingered on the hot search list for half a day before quickly being pushed down by other news.

Tan Mo packed her things and entered the exam hall.

The exam room for the senior year candidates wasn't crowded—only about twenty people. They couldn't even fill the rows of desks spaced apart, each person just sitting in their spot, reciting their notes.

Outside the exam hall, Tan Rou posted on Weibo.

Tan Rou 123478: Little sister, good luck on the exam! [clenched fist]

The attached picture was a plate of delicate and beautifully arranged little cakes.

As a daughter of the Tan family, Tan Rou seemed to have much less of a presence. Over the years, she had only posted some unfiltered photos of her baked desserts on Weibo, and unlike Tan Qi, she didn't market a persona, so she had very few followers.

Soon, comments appeared below.

Chestnut Mont Blanc: Sister, cake, hungryyyyy

IWantToStudyHard: Is OP's sister also taking the Cheng Ye exam today?

Eating Melon With A Magnifying Glass: OP's surname is Tan. That ordinary person sister of Tan Yi mentioned on Weibo earlier also had the surname Tan. Could it be such a coincidence?

Tan Rou 123478 : That's right, one family.

Since Tan Rou and Tan Mo were one family, then she and Tan Yi were also one family.

As soon as Tan Yi was mentioned, his fans, the Yi fandom, instantly caught wind and came flocking.

Love Yi Beyond Words : No way? Tan Mo actually went? Don't embarrass my Yi.

Tan Rou's expression darkened as she typed her reply.

Tan Rou 123478 : Just wait and see.

Then she turned off her mobile data and put away her phone, fixing an even darker glare on the man in front of her who was sneakily eating the cake.

"Ate it all?"

"I was just helping you taste-test it. When Mo Mo gets back, you can make her a fresh, hot one, right?" Chong Huan tried to defend himself.

"Hmph. Men."

At that very moment, Tan Mo was diligently working on her exam.

In just forty-five short minutes, she had smoothly progressed from the multiple-choice section to the reading comprehension, and would soon start on the essay.

Tan Rou had taught her: just do her best to secure all the points she was supposed to get, and not overthink the rest.

An hour and a half into the exam.

"Phew—" Tan Mo finished her review, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and handed in her paper.

Most of the other candidates were still buried in their essays, so her standing up was quite conspicuous.

The invigilator walked over, accepted her paper, and gave it a brief once-over.

First impression: semi-cursive script, clear and neat. No blank answers. Good impression.

Being a Language teacher himself, upon closer inspection, he had a fair idea—this paper's score wouldn't be low.

This year's essay topic was a bit tricky, yet her response was natural and cleverly crafted.

If she performed in other subjects as she did in Language, Cheng Ye would have another top student this year.

Leaving the exam hall, Tan Mo checked the time and decided to find a small restaurant on a nearby street for lunch.

Just as she walked out of the school gate, she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Boss!"

The voice was very familiar. She turned around and saw a handsome young boy sprinting towards her.

Cheng Ye's make-up exams for the second semester and their admissions test were on the same day. Ye Ka, having scribbled his way through the make-up exam, never expected to run into the Second Miss Tan, who had been kidn*pped with him that day.

"Boss?" She was quite curious about this form of address.

"That day, you said someone would definitely come to rescue us within an hour, and it really happened just as you said. I think you're really amazing, so I've decided to make you my boss." Ye Ka grinned.

This form of address had a bit of a delinquent student vibe, but she liked it.

"Alright then, little bro Ka Ka." Tan Mo draped her arm around his neck and led him out of the school gate. "Come on, first, introduce your boss to some good places to eat around here."

"Boss is treating?" Ye Ka's eyes lit up.

"More or less."
