Zhuang Yuanren had been gone for a while to attend the government exams. Normally, the results should be out by now. Given Zhuang Yuanren's distressed look, did he not pass the exam?
The grandiose claims and boasts he had previously made in front of others were now about to slap him in the face, turning his face blue and swollen.
Zhuang Ruman was immediately anxious. After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, "Yuanren, your exam this time..."
Zhuang Ruman looked at his eldest son's face, but in the end, he didn't ask further.
Zhuang Yuanren, with a displeased look on his face, calmly uttered two words: "Passed."
"No problem, if you didn't pass, you can just retake it next year, you're still young..." Zhuang Ruman wanted to pour out a basket full of words to comfort Zhuang Yuanren, but he stopped abruptly halfway through.
"Passed?"
"Yes." Zhuang Yuanren nodded.
