Time flies, and before long, the high school exams were upon us.
The exam venue was in the county, which was convenient, but Yang Peimin still went home the weekend before the exam.
It was also an opportunity to update her family and Principal Li—she was about to take the exam. Shen Yiguang should have received a letter; they had exchanged a few since she returned from T city, but there had been none for these two months. Thus, she made a call to his military unit and was informed that Shen Yiguang was out on a mission and they did not know when he would return.
It was normal for Shen Yiguang to be on a mission, and it explained the lack of communication. Yang Peimin suppressed the urge to share her thoughts with him. She had wanted to discuss university preferences with him, to tease him a bit, to see his reaction.
In the end, she returned to her mother's home for encouragement.
