Chapter 89: The College Entrance Examination (Part 2) (Recommended by Nani)

  Suddenly, two figures fell from the sky with a 'whooshing' sound and landed in the woods of a poor village in C City. The two people were Chen Pengpeng and Leng Qing, who had just emerged from the space inside the Seven-Colored Divine Ring. In order to avoid being detected by outsiders, Chen Pengpeng could only descend into this forest. If they had flown back loudly, it would have been strange if the villagers hadn't been scared to death.

  "Let's go back, Leng!"

  Chen Pengpeng had just fallen to the ground when he suddenly said a sentence to Leng Qing.

  "Little friend, why don't we just fly back? I think Aunt Tang must be very anxious."

  Leng Qing looked at Chen Peng with a puzzled expression. He couldn't understand why Chen Peng was messing around with airplanes again, and it would be better to just fly back directly. Suddenly saying they were going to walk back was really incomprehensible.

  "What the heck, Leng, have you gone crazy? We're flying back in broad daylight, won't people think we're monsters? And what if my mom finds out, how am I supposed to explain this to her?"

  Chen Pengpeng stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Leng Qing with a foolish expression. He really couldn't understand why Leng Qing, who was usually clear-headed, would say something like that. Leng Qing was taken aback by Chen Pengpeng's words, then relaxed. He knew his brother didn't want to show off like that, and besides, it wasn't good to appear in the mortal world in such a way. Leng Qing could only shut his mouth and continue following Chen Pengpeng as they hurried home.

  "Son, where have you gone? You really made mom worry!"

  Tang Qiu stood anxiously on the doorstep of her home, looking left and right, but no matter how high she raised her feet or how long she stretched her neck, she couldn't see the figure she was hoping to see. She began to take off the pendant from around her neck and placed it in the palm of her hand. She decided to ask for help from the people at home to find her son Chen Pengpeng, and now she couldn't care about anything else, her greatest concern was the safety of her son. Just as she had just put her index finger to her lips, Chen Pengpeng and Leng Qing suddenly appeared in front of her.

  "Mom! I'm back!"

  Chen Pengpeng saw his mother anxiously looking out the door from a distance and immediately rushed over. Tang Qiu saw that her son had returned safely, and the stone in her heart began to put down quickly. The pendant she had just taken off her neck was put back on again.

  "Son, you're becoming more and more disobedient! How can you go out without telling mom? Every time it's so worrying. You're already a grown-up now, not a kid anymore. Don't you know that your behavior is causing people to worry?"

  Chen Pengpeng was scolded by Tang Qiu as soon as he arrived at her side! At this time, Tang Qiu was really too angry. The last time Chen Pengpeng went missing made her worry once, and now she did it again. Could she still have a good face for Chen Pengpeng? For the usually calm and gentle Tang Qiu, she could no longer tolerate Chen Pengpeng's behavior.

  "Sorry, Mom! I know I was wrong, can you forgive me this time?"

  Chen Peng lowered his head and said in a wronged tone. He didn't know how to explain it to his mother, and this matter wasn't the time for her to know yet. When the time was ripe, Chen Peng would naturally tell his mother clearly. Now he could only wait for Tang Qiu's scolding, maybe after Tang Qiu vented out all the anger in her heart, everything would be fine. Leng Qing saw Chen Peng's uncomfortable expression and knew what he should do next.

  "Tang's mother, don't blame Xiao Peng, it was I who asked him to take me to find my long-lost brother. You've been worried, if you want to scold someone, scold me!"

  Suddenly, Leng Qing walked up to Tang Qiu and said. Chen Pengpeng heard Leng Qing's words and looked up at him with gratitude. He knew that Leng Qing was lying for his sake, and someone like Leng Qing would never tell a lie unless it was necessary to protect his own brother from being scolded. Tang Qiu saw that Leng Qing had spoken up, so she wasn't as angry anymore. Because she knew that Leng Qing was an orphan with no one to rely on, and he was also very introverted. Now that he had finally become brothers with her son, his heart had opened up a lot. She couldn't bear to scold Leng Qing, he really lacked love.

  "Qing'er, is what you said true? If so, then I'll blame Peng'er."

  Tang Qiu walked up to Leng Qing and gently stroked his head with her hand. Leng Qing's body suddenly trembled. This feeling had not been felt for a long time, and now Tang Qiu's loving gesture seemed to bring him back to his childhood. For a moment, his tears blurred his eyes, he wanted to control them but the tears didn't listen to his command, and still flowed out.

  "Tang...Tang...Aunt Tang, I...I'm telling the truth."

  Leng Qing's voice was a little choked with tears. Tang Qiu saw Leng Qing like this and felt another pang of heartache, she had long forgotten about scolding Chen Pengpeng. Apart from her sympathy and concern for Leng Qing, she didn't want to pursue anything else now. She just wanted to give more maternal love to the introverted boy in front of her, she firmly believed that one day he would walk out of those dark clouds.

  "Qing'er, don't cry. From now on, you can call me Mom. Peng'er is your brother, and we'll live a peaceful and ordinary life as a family, okay?"

  Tang Qiu wrapped his arms around Leng Qing's head and pulled him into his own embrace, continuously stroking his back to comfort him. When Leng Qing heard Tang Qiu's words, he suddenly paused for a moment - this was something he didn't dare to hope for. But all of this came so suddenly that Leng Qing couldn't react in time. His heart had already overflowed with emotion, and Chen Pengpeng, watching this scene unfold, also couldn't help but feel his own heart churning as his eyes reddened. From the moment he brought Leng Qing home, he had already acknowledged Leng Qing as his older brother.

  "Not...not...Mom!"

  Leng Qing burst into tears and rushed towards Tang Qiu. Tang Qiu saw Leng Qing finally accept himself, a smile appeared on his face. Chen Pengpeng, who was standing beside him, also smiled for a moment. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and today he finally saw it come true. From now on, Leng Qing would no longer be that aloof person, nor the simple and straightforward introverted man.

  "Uh-huh! Good boy, a man doesn't easily shed tears! From now on, you and your friends will look for your brother's whereabouts, and when the time comes, bring him back to mom, then our home will become lively."

  Tang Qiu said with a sigh of relief. She had long wanted to comfort Leng Qing, but couldn't find the right time, and unexpectedly encountered this matter today. Leng Qing was moved again by Tang Qiu's words. In this world, he was most grateful to his master for taking him in, and secondly to Tang Qiu for giving him a warm home, allowing him to feel maternal love once more.

  "Mom, you two be warm and fuzzy! I have to rush to school now, or else I'll miss the college entrance exam!"

  When Chen Peng saw his mother and Leng Qing rekindling their romance, he couldn't bear it any longer. If he didn't speak up now, he would miss the college entrance exam, and not only that, but also his first love. He was determined to take the exam no matter what, and wouldn't allow any mistakes in his life.

  "What? I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't mentioned it, can we still make it on time?"

  Tang Qiu suddenly remembered and let out a loud cry. She had just been completely absorbed in the warmth of family affection, but had forgotten this most important thing. She was waiting for Chen Peng to come back and then urge him to hurry up and go to school to take the college entrance exam.

  "Mom, don't worry, I can still make it on time. Just wait for the good news at home! The top scorer in the college entrance exam will definitely be me! Okay, I'm going to school now!"

  Chen Pengpeng said with great confidence, without waiting for Tang Qiu's instructions, and hastily ran towards the direction of the school. Leng Qing saw Chen Pengpeng's hurried appearance and showed a rare, ugly smile. He finally understood that family ties were so beautiful, and he began to look forward to the days that followed.

  "Hey kiddo, be careful! There are a lot of cars now, watch out for the road!"

  Tang Qiu watched her son run far away, shouting loudly, and didn't care if Chen Pengpeng heard or not. But as a mother, it was her duty to worry about her son, which was the nature of being a mother.

  "Qing'er, follow Peng'er to school! He'll come back home with him after finishing the exam. I'm going to the market to buy some vegetables and will pick up some stuff for you two to nourish your bodies!"

  Tang Qiu turned around and said to Leng Qing. Leng Qing wanted to say something, but she saw Tang Qiu's serious expression and didn't dare speak. In fact, he wanted to ask Tang Qiu to go sell vegetables together, but after seeing Tang Qiu's appearance, he swallowed his words back into his stomach. Even if he had spoken up, Tang Qiu would definitely not have let him go.

  "Uh-huh! Mom, be careful when you go to the market yourself!"

  Leng Qing finished speaking and followed Chen Pengpeng to rush to Zhugen High School in City C. Tang Qiu looked at the slowly disappearing figure, with a hint of smile on her face. At the same time, she silently prayed that her son could perform normally during the exam. She didn't expect Chen Pengpeng to become the top scorer, she just hoped he could get into a slightly better university.

  On June 7th, the traffic in City C was congested and impassable. When Chen Peng arrived at school, he found a sea of parents standing at the entrance, looking around. The entire building was surrounded by warning tape, and no one was allowed to step inside. Only when the exam officially began would the blockade be lifted, allowing students to enter the examination room. Chen Peng was taken aback by this scene as soon as he arrived at the school gate. It turned out that the college entrance examination was so grand and solemn! Just as he was about to step into the gate of Zhugen High School, he was suddenly blocked by relevant personnel.

  "Please take out your college entrance examination certificate, I need to verify it before you can enter!"

  A security guard in uniform stretched out his hand to stop Chen Peng. It wasn't until then that Chen Peng realized he was in trouble, how was he going to get his college entrance exam certificate now? His certificate was currently in the hands of his class teacher, so how could he go and get it? This was a real predicament.
