He Zhenzhen was taken away by the police.
Lu Yao's mind was filled with He Zhenzhen's expression, and Guan Zhenlian's words that He Zhenzhen was not simple echoed in her mind.
She turned around slowly and said with a trembling voice, "Do you think she did it?"
Duan Mingjie put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It has nothing to do with us. Let's go back."
Lu Yao went home with Duan Mingjie numbly.
At night, Lu Yao hugged Duan Mingjie's waist and did not dare to close her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the police walking past her with two corpses.
Duan Mingjie hugged her tightly and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Lu Yao's voice trembled, "I'm scared."
Duan Mingjie patted her back gently, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sleep well, I'll always be here to protect you."
Lu Yao: "Then don't put out the candle."
"Okay, don't put out the candle. I will always be with you. When you wake up, it will be dawn. The college entrance examination will be tomorrow. You have put in so much effort and cannot be affected by other people's affairs."
Lu Yao hummed.
That night, Lu Yao had a very restless sleep. She woke up several times during the night. Every time she woke up, Duan Mingjie held her and gently coaxed her.
At around five o'clock in the morning, Lu Yao couldn't sleep at all.
After dinner, Duan Mingjie accompanied her to the examination room.
She and Aunt Guan's son He Jianwei were assigned to the same examination room, and they were diagonally behind them.
Duan Mingjie could only send her to the school gate. He held Lu Yao's little hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't be nervous. I believe you can get good grades in whatever you write."
Lu Yao looked at him with dark circles under her eyes, "Are you too confident in me?"
Duan Mingjie brushed away the strands of hair from her cheeks, "That's because my wife has good grades."
Guan Zhenlian told He Jianwei on the side, "Take the exam well, this is a major event in your life, so be prepared, you know?"
He Jianwei replied impatiently, "Mom, stop nagging and go back quickly."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back."
Guan Zhenlian urged Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie squeezed Lu Yao's little hand and said, "Go."
Lu Yao hugged Duan Mingjie fiercely, pressing her cheek against the woolen sweater on his chest, absorbing his breath, "Bringing your breath with me, it's like you are taking the exam with me."
Duan Mingjie rubbed her head lovingly, "Okay."
Lu Yao and He Jianwei walked into the school. Duan Mingjie and Guan Zhenlian had no intention of leaving and obviously wanted to accompany them.
"Duan Mingjie?"
Duan Mingjie heard the news and went over and saw Zheng Weiguo and Dong Niannian beside him.
"Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Weiguo: "Yao Yao is also taking exams in this school?"
"Just went in."
"I heard there was a murder in your village?"
A couple who had no nap habit were stabbed in the heart while taking a nap. They were so shocked that within half a day the news spread throughout the capital.
Guan Zhenlian next to her said with an exaggerated expression, "No, we live next door to Xiao Duan and Yaoyao's house. Yaoyao's face turned pale with fright yesterday."
Hearing this, Dong Niannian looked at Guan Zhenlian.
Zheng Weiguo glanced at Dong Niannian beside him and said, "Niannian, go in quickly, don't waste time."
Dong Niannian nodded obediently.
Until Dong Niannian walked away, Zheng Weiguo frowned and looked at Duan Mingjie, "Is Yaoyao okay?"
"It's very bad. I was so scared that I didn't fall asleep until midnight last night. I woke up several times during the night. I woke up at around five o'clock in the morning."
Duan Mingjie was worried about Lu Yao's condition.
Yaoyao started preparing for the college entrance examination very early. She originally thought she was 100% sure, but no one thought that something would happen at this juncture.
Duan Mingjie felt very uneasy. He was worried about what would happen next.
Sitting on the chair, Lu Yao felt a little sleepy, so she simply lay down on the table to sleep for a while, and asked Teacher He Jianwei to call her.
Unexpectedly, before she fell asleep for long, someone pushed her shoulder. Lu Yao thought the teacher was coming and sat down quickly.
He looked up and saw Dong Niannian.
Lu Yao's face suddenly turned cold.
"Yao Yao, what a coincidence, you are sitting in front of me. Why didn't I see you when I looked at the examination room yesterday?"
Lu Yao didn't want to talk to her, so she took out her pen and waited for the exam without even giving her a look.
Dong Niannian wasn't angry either.
She sat down in her seat and poked Lu Yao's back, "Yao Yao, we are so destined. Let's check the test paper after answering it later."
Dong Niannian heard Zheng Jiajia say that Lu Yao's grades were good, but hers were not. She said she had the right answer, but actually she wanted to copy Lu Yao's.
If Dong Niannian was not Uncle Zheng's daughter, Lu Yao would have promised her on the surface, and then deliberately wrote wrong answers to make her fail the test.
She turned around and glanced at Dong Niannian contemptuously, "Does Uncle Zheng know that you will cheat in the exam room?"
Dong Niannian choked, then she smiled, "Yao Yao, you must be envious that I have a good father, right?"
Lu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Turn around and sit back.
Dong Niannian thought she acquiesced.
"Yao Yao, as long as you agree to answer with me, I will go back and say good things about you in front of my father."
Hearing this, Lu Yao curled her lips coldly. She still needs Dong Niannian to say good things?
"Besides, it's just a matter of checking the answers. You won't suffer. We both get it right. Isn't it better for both of us?"
Lu Yao couldn't help but turn around, "Do you want to get the answer right or plagiarize? Don't you know?"
Dong Niannian became angry with embarrassment, "Lu Yao, I am telling you so loudly and angrily that you slander me like this. No wonder my grandma and the others don't like you!"
Lu Yao snorted disdainfully, "It's as if I don't care about their favor."
Dong Niannian gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Yao's back, wishing he could drill a hole out of it.
After a while, two teachers came over with test papers.
Lu Yao quickly sat up straight.
I saw two teachers holding up portfolios with the words "Top Secret" printed on them, "Dear students, the test papers have not been opened."
At this moment, the candidates realized the fairness of this exam.
The two teachers opened the files in front of the candidates, took out the test papers, and distributed them.
Lu Yao, who thought she would be sleepy, felt no sleepiness at all the moment she got the test paper.
She glanced at the test paper briefly, and a smile appeared on her face.
After the bell rang, Lu Yao lowered her head and wrote quickly.
There was still half an hour before the exam ended. Lu Yao put down her pen and started checking the test papers.
With a bang, her stool was kicked.
Lu Yao frowned, but never looked back. She leaned forward, covering the contents of the test paper and not giving the opportunity for plagiarism later.
Seeing that Lu Yao not only didn't respond, but also covered the test paper more tightly, Dong Niannian was extremely angry.
He raised his foot and kicked Lu Yao's stool hard.
This kick alerted the invigilator.
Dong Niannian lowered his head in fear and stared at the test paper.
Dong Niannian was unwilling to give in, and suddenly came up with a plan. He took out a piece of paper, wrote down his answer, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Lu Yao's feet.
This scene happened to be caught by the invigilator, "What are you two doing!"
