“To wear protection when we do it!”
Yun Jian was instantly flustered at what Qin Yirou had told Si Yi.
The young man smiled at the sight of her pink cheeks before holding her face and kissing her. It was only a peck, he did not do anything further. His Xiao Jian was still young.
…
Three days passed in a flash and it was finally the day of the Senior High School Entrance Examination.
It was an unusually hot day, probably the warmest since the new year, but the students pushed through the three days of exam determinedly.
Yun Jian was always the one to finish her test paper the earliest during the examination, not even double checking her papers once she completed them, while her peers kept checking theirs, worried that they had underperformed.
When the three days of examination ended, Chen Xinyi, Zhang Shaofeng, Ling Yichen, and Zhang Jian deflated and relaxed immediately from the staunch fight.
Once the examination came to an end, students packed all their belongings they had kept in school and went home.
The end of the Senior High School Entrance Examination also meant that Yun Jian and her peers had two weeks of summer break in advance from the other students. Of course, they had to return to school when the exam results were published before they officially ended three years of junior high school and they would then enter different senior high schools after that.
Parents came to school to help their children move stacks of books on that day while Si Yi drove to help Yun Jian with that during school dismissal. It was just a short window of free time he had as he was returning to An Hun Group the next day.
Yun Jian carried a simple luggage the next day, storing a number of things she needed, and departed to Min City early in the morning. She was going alone as she had promised Chu Ning and others that she would spend her break with them.
Summer break had yet to begin for now. Yun Jian was the one who had a two-week break in advance, so Chu Ning and team were still in school. When Yun Jian went there, she called Chu Xiangnan who owned a cellphone directly.
Her teammates were still in school but once they heard that Yun Jian had arrived, they sent Chu Ning to pick her up at the gate of the military school.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the military school but Chu Ning took a long time persuading the security guard at the entrance and he finally allowed Yun Jian to come in when he found out that she would be among the next batch of selected students.
“Phew, I finally got you in!” Chu Ning wiped the sweat on her forehead and led Yun Jian toward the school’s training ground. That was where the other five members of Team Monarch were training at.
Listening to Chu Ning, Yun Jian stared at her for a few seconds before she cracked a grin and sighed, “Someone’s gotten darker.”
It took Chu Ning aback before she came to realize that Yun Jian was talking about her and she swatted at Yun Jian’s shoulder, laughing, “Don’t expose me like that!”
She took her to the big field after that. Upon meeting the others in Team Monarch, the group sat under the fiery sun on the sizeable military school training field.
“We don’t have class at night. Yun Jian, where do you want to go? Want to walk around Min City’s streets? Or have a tour in our school first?” Chu Xiangnan asked with a grin.
“Stop interrupting me, stupid Chunan!” Chu Ning nagged at the guy with a giggle. This was her new nickname for Chu Xiangnan—”Chunan[1]”!
Yun Jian pressed her lips together in a light smile.
The team was bantering and chuckling when a mocking voice came from behind them.
“Oh, isn’t this our very famous Team Monarch? Haha! Where is the pretty girl from?”
Yun Jian turned around with her teammates and was greeted with the sight of a thuggish guy provoking Chu Ning and others, as well as attempting to tease her.
The guy winked at Yun Jian. “Young lady, them Team Monarch are all trash. I’m from The Indomitables, heh. Want to come hang out with me? Ignore these useless Team Monarch guys!”
