After all, the thought of enduring several days of loss of appetite after the exam made Song Jingyun sigh a hundred and one times!
So distressing!
Seeing Song Jingyun sigh, Pang Hezhi, not far away, raised his eyebrows.
Since his failure to enter Splendorous Garden, he found temporary lodging at an inn.
Although the Pang family was of humble origins, the “Pang” in their name indicated they were not lacking in wealth. Pang Hezhi was generous with his funds, enjoying respect from many. He felt these days were quite splendid.
Following the first exam, Pang Hezhi believed his performance was excellent, his essay outstanding enough to astonish readers. He was confident of making a name for himself in this Spring Imperial Examination.
And not just any name – he aimed to be at the top!
Pang Hezhi seemed to envision a particularly gratifying day, his face beaming with self-satisfaction.
Such a dejected appearance must be due to performing poorly in the first exam.
“One would think that Song Jingyun’s entry into Guanghua Garden was purely luck!”
Pang Hezhi, initially smug, found his smile widening as he observed Song Jingyun sighing in frustration.
Pang Hezhi, feeling smug, even patted my shoulder as he passed by Song Jingyun, “If you lack confidence at that moment, it’s better to go home early. It’s better to avoid losing face when the time comes.”
Song Jingyun grew increasingly baffled and absentmindedly scratched his forehead. “Have we met before?”
Why can’t I remember…?
His smile froze, Pang Hezhi’s face paled, moments after turning red with anger, he left in a huff, shooting a fierce glance at Zhou Jiang.
After scratching his forehead again, Song Jingyun’s gaze turned even more puzzled.
“Have we met before?”
However, Song Jingyun was taken aback, scrutinizing Pang Hezhi with a suspicious gaze. “Do you know who that gentleman is?”
Pang Hezhi, “…”
Not only have I met him, but he also made me lose face!
Yet, he pretended to know everything, deliberately making me uncomfortable!
Song Jingyun, truly excessive!
With that, he turned his face away in a fit of anger.
In terms of talent and ability, they are even below me!
These incidents spread through Splendorous Garden, becoming the talk of the town.
Pang Hezhi gritted his teeth, pointing at Song Jingyun with trembling hands. After much effort, he managed to say, “Let’s see who can have the last laugh!”
Song Jingyun, “…”
Who is that person, acting like we’re very familiar?
He even said some inexplicable things.
Since the establishment of Guanghua Garden, students admitted have always made a mark in the Spring Imperial Examination, not just barely making the list, but ranking near the Top.
If Song Jingyun becomes the first person in Splendorous Garden to fail, it wouldn’t be fun at all!
Even in an exam where one can freely express themselves, performing below par is disappointing. If this continues in the next two exams, it could be worse.
