At the end of the 90s, the college entrance exam was scheduled during the scorching heat of July, in the peak of the sweltering summer. Sun Rongfang had prepared a pot of cooling herbal tea for her daughter to take to the exam site.
"Mom, you don't need to follow me, I can go by myself," Xie Wanying turned back to say to her mother, who wanted to accompany her to the exam site.
Sun Rongfang didn't have time to react before she saw her daughter walking out alone.
In the blink of an eye, Wanying mounted her rickety, creaking bike and sped off to the exam site.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the No. 8 Middle School exam site, Wanying faced a small sedan. She parked her bicycle in the bike shed and saw her desk mate Zhang Wei getting out of the sedan.
