Love So Sweet

Chapter 44: The Test

After studying hard for several months with her youngest aunt, the day for Zhang Li Xue to take the test finally came.

Being the eldest in her generation in the family, everyone was looking forward to seeing the little girl pass the test.

As compared to Zhang Li Xue, both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao were anxious. The couple woke up early in the morning and could not sit still.

They began to wonder if it was a good decision to let their daughter take this test and skip a year to enter school.

Their daughter might be able to score the mock test paper. However, they were worried that the girl would not do well in the real test.

As her parents, both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao were most afraid that their daughter would be disappointed when she could not do as well as she had thought.

Zhang Jing watched the couple and chuckled. He could not bear to scold his great-granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, he could only speak to Zhang Yu Han. “As Li Xue’s parents, don’t you think you should have a little faith in your daughter? My great-granddaughter is a Zhang. She will do well in this test.”

.....

“As the person who tutored Li Xue, I know that she will definitely do her best,” Zhang Yu Ying chirped in.

Zhang Yu Han stared at his sister and sighed. “It’s precisely because of you that I am worried about my daughter.”

“Hey, what do you mean by this?”

Zhang Jing massaged the spot between his brows. “The two of you are already married, but still quarreled like a child.”

Hearing their grandfather’s words, the siblings chose to shut up. However, when no one was looking, Zhang Yu Ying still stuck out her tongue to her brother.

“Mommy, don’t worry, I can do this,” Zhang Li Xue spoke as she hugged her mother around the neck. “I have been studying hard with my younger aunt. I will be fine.”

Li Qin Yao’s heart softened. She kissed the little girl’s cheek repeatedly, causing the girl to giggle. “Alright. Mommy knows. I trust that my Li Xue will do her best.”

“Un. Un.” Zhang Li Xue nodded repeatedly. “I’m very smart. Younger Aunt says that as well. Mommy, I will definitely answer the test well.”

Li Qin Yao heaved a sigh and decided to forget her worry.

Even if her daughter failed to get what she wanted, that’s fine too. As a mother, she will stay by her daughter’s side to coax her.

As long as the girl is happy, that was all that matters.

After having her breakfast, Zhang Li Xue hopped into the vehicle and waved her hands at her family members who would be waiting for her at home.

Her mother still had to look after her baby brother. Therefore, she could not accompany her to the test center.

This time, her Aunt Yu Ying would be diving her, and her father would accompany her until the end of the test.

The little girl waved her hands happily as she entered the hall.

Zhang Yu Ying watched her niece acting as if she was going on a class trip and the corner of her lips started to twitch.

It seemed that being a kid was the best. They do everything without worry. Meanwhile, the adults continued to worry about her.

After waiting for a long time, the children finally came out of the hall.

Zhang Yu Han and his sister stood up to look for the little girl. However, the kids were rushing out all at once, causing it hard for them to locate their Li Xue.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu Han was quite tall and he was able to recognize his daughter. He called out his daughter’s name and waved his hand at her.

“Daddy!” The little girl spread her arms and ran over to her father. As soon as she arrived, her arms were wrapped around her father’s neck.

However, the moment her father started to lift her up, Zhang Li Xue began to get anxious again.

“Daddy! Put me down. Don’t forget that you are still an injured man.”

Zhang Yu Han chuckled upon hearing his daughter’s words. He kissed the girl on the cheek and said, “It’s fine. I can carry you. You are not that heavy. Besides, have you forgotten? Your Uncle Qi Zheng had already said that I have fully recovered.”

The little girl began to hesitate. She liked it the most when her father lift her up. However, she was still worried. Seeing that her father’s expression did not seem as if he was in pain, Zhang Li Xue was finally at ease.

“How was your test?” Zhang Yu Ying asked. As the person who tutored the girl to take this test, Zhang Yu Ying was also worried. It felt as if her reputation was on the line. If her niece did not do well, her brother would definitely scold her.

“It was alright.” Zhang Li Xue answered with a shrug. “The questions were almost the same as what Youngest Aunt taught me. It was not difficult.”

“That’s good. That’s good.” Zhang Yu Ying muttered. “At least, there is still hope.”

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu Han was worried that his daughter might be overconfident. Just like his wife, he too did not want his daughter to be disappointed when the result was announced later.

“Daddy, I want a reward.” Zhang Li Xue whispered.

His lips turned into a smile. Zhang Yu Han decided to forget about his worry and deal with it when the time comes. “What do you want?”

“Chicken wings!” Her eyes lit up brightly. She hesitated for a few seconds and stared at her father with her puppy dog eyes. “Can I also have some ice cream?”

“You can only choose one.”

Zhang Li Xue thought about this matter for a long time, but could not make her decision. “Can’t I have both? Daddy, I’m a little tired after thinking for a long time to answer the test. Let me have both chicken wings and ice cream, alright?”

The little girl was looking back at him, looking very pitiful. In the end, Zhang Yu Han was unable to reject this request “Alright. You can have both. But just this once.”

Zhang Li Xue laughed happily. She hugged her father tightly and kissed his cheek. “Daddy, you’re the best!”

...

The result of the test was announced a week later.

When Li Qin Yao got the call from the school, she was unable to hide her shock. Although she had seen her daughter do the test previously, she was still not that confident that Zhang Li Xue would be able to do it.

However, the teacher had announced the result twice.

Her daughter had passed the test and was able to enter school the next year.
