Liling wasn't dumb, she had noticed some trace of coldness from Richen but she had just pretended not to notice. The last thing she wanted right now was to quarrel with a friend. She had more pressing issues to deal with. The day ended peacefully, they ate noodles for dinner and retired for the night.
Wednesday arrived faster than expected, they arrived at the hall before the time. This type of exam was one on one. So the students were seated in the hall, and we're called one by one. Richen entered before her friends, she played the clarinet. They were also very few who played it. When she came out, she was full of smiles.
She expressed her joy on how the exam was not so hard for her. Liling and Xin Yong congratulated her heartily while waiting for their turns. After few other people, it was Liling's turn, when she came out, her face bore no expression. No-one could tell if she was happy or sad.
