Min Huailu has never been able to understand anyone. Min Yue would betray everyone for her own sake, Lu Huai puts his interests first but treats her with great care, and Xu Ci has no love to give yet still does whatever she asks...
She doesn't understand what kind of answers she must put down in her life's exam to make it perfect.
Min Huailu nestled in Xu Ci's arms and looked at the dilapidated house, remembering herself as a child.
Xu Ci asked, “A-Lu, were you like this before?”
He meant the children catching shrimp in the stream. Min Huailu thought it was lovely, but didn't know how to answer.
“I don't remember what I was like as a child anymore.”
All she knew was that when she was with her grandmother, everything felt wonderful.
If only she had never gone out into the world...
The outside world is wonderful, but I don't want to go again.
Xu Ci told her, “So, A-Lu, whatever choices you make on life's exam, you'll get a perfect score.”
Min Huailu understood. Looking at Xu Ci's jaw, she realized that no matter what choices she made, this was the person who understood her best.
Only...
Xu Ci was the one grading this perfect-score exam.
It feels like a lot was cut out in the middle, but it's still pretty good 🍉
