RAD Chapter 52

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was the time for the adult college entrance exam. On this day, Luo Xiao got up early to accompany his two examinee family members to the exam site. Seeing the crowd of examinees around them, Luo Qian and Xu Yan couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Xiao Xiao, what if me and your godmother, we two…” Luo Qian swallowed and said softly, “I’m really worried that we won’t do well in the exam!”

“Yes, that’s right.” Xu Yan nodded in agreement, feeling the same way.

Luo Xiao looked at them with confidence, “Mom, godmother, as your little teacher these past six months, I can tell you very sincerely that you have grasped the knowledge very well. As long as you relax and face it just like usual, there won’t be any problems.” He knew that what they needed now was this kind of affirmation from the outside world, even though they were adults, they were still facing an important moment in their lives.

“Mm, we believe you!” Luo Qian and Xu Yan quickly adjusted their mindset, smiling at each other. “We also believe in ourselves.” They were all adults now, how could they appear so lacking in self-confidence in front of their child? At worst, if they didn’t pass this time, they would just try again next time. They had to set a good example for the child, they were not afraid of the challenge!

With the sound of the preparatory bell, the examinees could enter the exam hall and get ready. Luo Xiao watched them walk into the exam hall with firm steps and smiled as he saw them off.

After a day of arduous exams, the adult college entrance exam finally sounded the final bell. Luo Xiao immediately spotted Luo Qian and Xu Yan coming out of the exam hall, and he quickly went up to greet them.

“Mom, godmother, you’ve worked hard. Let’s go eat something first and relax a bit.” Luo Xiao smiled as he took their exam preparations supplies from their hands and put them in the backpack he was carrying.

Luo Qian stretched and smiled as she patted Luo Xiao’s head, “Well, it’s indeed time to relax a bit. We’ve done our best in this exam. Now we just have to wait patiently for the results to come out.”

“That’s right.” Xu Yan nodded with a smile. At this point, the two of them had already let go of their worries. They had seen several people older than them come to take this exam. Some of them were even taking it for the second time, so the young them still had a chance. They wouldn’t be discouraged and give up just because of this one failure.

And so, the three of them went home chatting and laughing to have dinner. Life continued as usual.

A month later, it was a special day for them, because on this day, Luo Qian and Xu Yan’s exam results would be revealed. Unlike in the future generations where you can call or check the scores online, they had to go to the education bureau to inquire.

Since it was not a holiday, Luo Qian and Xu Yan refused Luo Xiao’s offer to take a day off to accompany them. The two of them went together to inquire about the results. Looking the envelopes with their names on them, they decided it would be better to open them at home. It was not for particular reason, but just because they wanted to witness this moment together with Luo Xiao. No matter the result was, it was better to face it as a family.

Ye Lan noticed the unusual expression on his Xiao Xiao’s face early on. He felt worried and asked, “Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong with you today? I feel like you’ve been a bit anxious.”

Luo Xiao didn’t hide anything and directly told him, “Today is when mom and godmother will know their exam results. I’m a bit worried, I really hope they both get good results.”

Ye Lan reached out and patted his shoulder, “Xiao Xiao, that’s your mom and godmother, you should have confidence in them.”

“Of course I have confidence in them.” Luo Xiao slightly furrowed his brows, “But I just can’t help but worry about it.”

Ye Lan also understood this feeling, because every time he faced Luo Xiao’s matters, this kind of situation would often occur. So he didn’t say anything else. He just patted his shoulder again, giving him silent comfort and support.

As soon as the school bell rang, Luo Xiao quickly packed up his backpack and said goodbye to Ye Lan, then rushed out of the classroom. Seeing the quickly disappearing figure, Ye Lan smiled and shook his head. Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Luo Xiao in a rush since they knew each other for such a long time. But for some reason, he felt a little bit of a tinge of jealousy in his heartM?

Ye Lan shook his head, suppressing this somewhat funny idea. He also picked up his backpack and slowly went home.

“Mom, godmother, I’m back, what did you say?” Luo Xiao rushed in the door without even putting down his backpack, eagerly asking.

Seeing him run in with his hair all messy, with sweat, Luo Qian and Xu Yan’s hearts were warmed. Really, their own child is the most considerate!

“We don’t know either.” Xu Yan came over, took off his backpack, and then handed him a towel. “Xiao Xiao, wipe the sweat on your head first, otherwise you’ll catch a cold if the wind blows on it.”

Luo Xiao took the towel and looked at themi in confusion, “Huh? I didn’t remember wrong, it’s the day the results came out, right? Could it be that you didn’t go get them?”

“We went to get them.” Luo Qian saw Luo Xiao casually wipe a few times, shook her head, and took the towel from his hand. She carefully wiped him while explaining, “It’s just that we all feel that these results should be looked at together, not just by us first.”

“Huh?” Luo Xiao was a little stunned, but then he reacted quickly, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

After cleaning up, Luo Qian took out the two envelopes. Seeing the two copies lying on the table, Luo Qian was the first to pick up her own.

“Okay, now it’s our important moment.” Luo Qian took a deep breath three times, then calmly tore open the envelope. But after taking out the folded report card inside, she hesitated again and again, and then directly handed the paper to Luo Xiao. “Xiao Xiao, you look at it.”

Luo Xiao looked at his mother turning her head, smiled and reached out to take it, then opened it directly to look at it.

“How is it? Xiao Xiao, is my score okay?” Luo Qian couldn’t help but ask anxiously.

Luo Xiao just smiled without saying anything. He just directly handed the report card to Luo Qian. Seeing the smiles on her son and best friend’s faces, Luo Qian reached out and took the report card. Looking at the scores on it, a joyful smile appeared on her face: “Xia Xiao, Yanzi, I, I…”

“Yes, that’s right, congratulations mom/Qian.” Luo Xiao and Xu Yan said in unison.

Xu Yan looked at the report card of her good sister, and her heart was both excited and nervous. Now she was also looking forward to how her own score.

“Okay, now let’s take a look at my score too.” Xu Yan calmed down. With a hint of nervousness, she tore open the envelope herself. It’s just that, “Xiao Xiao, you can also take a look at godmother’s score.”

Luo Xiao was more than happy to lend a hand. As soon as he saw the grades, his smile instantly faded. He looked at Xu Yan with a look that seemed to want to say something but couldn’t.

This made Luo Qian and Xu Yan both feel uneasy.

Luo Qian asked in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Xiao, what’s wrong? Could it be that your godmother…”

Luo Xiao sighed and then directly handed the report card to Luo Qian. Luo Qian took it with a slight sense of unease, but when she saw the grades on it, she immediately understood. She reached out her hand and tapped Luo Xiao’s head firmly: “Good boy, you’ve grown up now and your wings have hardened, daring to make a joke about your godmother, huh?”

Hearing this, Xu Yan also understood. She took her own report card and had a look. Sure enough, it was just as she thought.

“You! You’re really a naughty child!” Xu Yan also tapped his forehead and scolded him with a smile.

“Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong.” Luo Xiao said, covering his head and begging for forgiveness. “Mom, godmother, please forgive me this time~”

Seeing Luo Xiao begging for forgiveness, Xu Yan and Luo Qian couldn’t help but laugh. Forget it, they as adults wouldn’t hold a grudge over small things, especially since today was a joyous occasion!

Since Luo Qian and Xu Yan’s exam results were both good, and they could be admitted to the schools they had their hearts set on, the two of them decided that the dinner tonight must be sumptuous!

“Oh right, mom, godmother, what majors are you two planning to study?” Luo Xiao took a bite of his rice and then savored a piece of braised pork ribs with relish before asking curiously.

Luo Qian picked up a piece of braised meat with chopsticks and put it in Luo Xiao’s bowl. “As for me, I think I’ll choose fashion design. I want to be able to design nice clothes for you to wear in the future!”

“I’m still more interested in cooking,” Xu Yan served a bowl of soup to everyone. “So I’ve decided to learn pastry making. Xiao Xiao, your godmother will continue to make delicious food for you in the future!”

“Mm!” Hearing their words filled with love, Luo Xiao nodded firmly: “I believe mom and godmother will definitely do the best. In the future, I’ll provide the funds for us to open a clothing company and a high-end restaurant. No, that’s not right, it should be a global chain under your leadership!”

Hearing their son/godson’s bold words, Luo Qian and Xu Yan’s eyes were full of laughter. They were also inspired by that far-reaching goal: Yes, they must do their best.

As for Luo Xiao, he wasn’t just saying this for fun, but he did have the intention of providing funds to help his mom and godmother each set up a company. Of course, this would be a step-by-step process. He might not have great business talent, but he had a lifetime of experience and knowledge of the changes in the next two decades.

So in the future, they will definitely work hard and achieve it!
