Chapter 489

With a crisp chime, the national college entrance exam finally drew to a close. The candidates, released from their burden, burst out of the school gates like untethered wild horses. At the same time, the rain that had been falling from the sky had quietly ceased half an hour before the exam ended, as if to provide the students with a refreshing conclusion. The school gate was now a surging sea of people, packed with parents waiting to welcome their children. Some held bouquets of flowers, others hoisted banners high, their faces beaming with expectation and joy. Several reporters were also stationed at the entrance, microphones in hand, ready to interview the first students to emerge. However, just as the reporters finished their interviews and prepared to pack up their equipment, they noticed the three members of the Xie family standing at the school gate, gazing anxiously into the campus. The reporters immediately caught the scent of a story: the Xie family’s second young master, who had always kept a low profile, had actually taken the exam this year, and judging by the situation, he hadn't come out yet. The reporters, who had been about to leave, quickly changed their minds and turned their lenses toward the Xie family.
