During the national college entrance examination, the weather was kind, not too hot.
As I came out of the examination hall, Uncle Xia and Auntie and all the rest were waiting outside, neatly gathered.
"How did you do, sis? Did you do really well?" This was my cousin.
"Nonsense, your sister definitely did great!" This was Uncle Xia.
"Yeah, Chuyi definitely did awesome." This was Xia Chengzong.
"That's enough, why don't you say less, Chuyi, don't be too stressed, all that matters is that we tried our best, whether we get in or not we'll live!" Only Auntie still had some sense.
Then followed the agonizing days of waiting for the results.
"Chuyi, how many days until your results?"
"Chuyi, why haven't the results come out yet?"
Xia Chuyi, who had initially been a bit nervous, eventually became numb from her friends asking over and over.
"Soon, very soon."
Finally, the day for the announcement of results arrived.
