Shen Jun reached out and cradled Wen Nian's petite face in his hands. He gazed deeply into Wen Nian's eyes, his voice gentle yet authoritative as he spoke, "You've shown remarkable progress since your sophomore year of high school. However, it seems you've hit a plateau. Perhaps it's time to consider a different approach. Trust me on this. Let go of your studies, just for New Year's Day, and accompany me to the capital. I have a feeling that the upcoming exam might hold a unique surprise for you."
Shen Jun seldom resorted to such firmness in making decisions for Wen Nian, but given Wen Nian's circumstances, he found himself compelled to take a more assertive stance.
Gazing into Shen Jun's deep, ebony eyes, Wen Nian discerned an unwavering resolve that resonated powerfully. The intensity in Shen Jun's gaze was so undeniable that it prompted an involuntary nod from Wen Nian.
