Chapter 174: Ye Tianxin’s 18th Birthday (1)

“Grandmother, did you wake up very early to make noodles for me?”

“I make you noodles every year…for long life,” Grandmother replied with a smile.

When Ye Tianxin got up, she then went to the dining area and looked at the bowl of noodles on the table. There were long strands of longevity noodles in the clear broth. There were also spring onions on top.

Ye Tianxin then sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat the noodles slowly.

The smell of the noodles made Ye Tianxin feel sad. Her eyes welled up. Then tears trickled down her face.

“Does it taste bad?”

Ye Tianxin shook her head. “No, Grandmother,” she answered. “It is delicious!”

Her 18th birthday meant that Ye Tianxin was no longer a child.

She had looked forward to this day. She had waited for this day for too long.

After eating the longevity noodles, Ye Tianxin slung her backpack over her shoulders and went to school.

The closer it got to the day of the college entrance examinations, the tenser the atmosphere in the school became. There were banners posted in various places in the school, encouraging students to do their best.

When Ye Tianxin saw the slogans, she felt a little nervous as well.

She knew better than anyone what the college entrance examinations meant.

In her previous life, she didn’t care that much about the exams.

But this time was different. She knew the consequences in case she flunked.

“Tianxin, quick! Come here. There’s a registered letter for you.”

Li Xiaohui ran out from the reception office, holding a letter in her hand. There was a sign on the manila envelope that indicated that it was a registered letter.

“A letter for me?” Ye Tianxin remarked curiously.

Who would write her a letter?

Could it be from Di Shanshi?

Ye Tianxin took the letter and looked at the postmark on it. ‘Shenhai City’ was clearly written on the postmark.

Shenhai City…

Then it could only be from Lu Qingxin.

Ye Tianxin could not help but smile. She wondered what Lu Qingxin’s heart was made of.

She was always up to no good.

Ye Tianxin opened the envelope and pulled up a sheet of pink paper with cherry blossom petals pattern on it.

Dear Elder Sister,

It’s been a long while since we last met.

It has been more than a month since our hurried parting at the capital. We parted on a bad note. Please forgive your younger sister for her rudeness. My dearest mother had committed suicide, and I was very upset about it. I am very sorry that I was disrespectful towards you.

My father has already told me that my mother’s death was an accident.

I want to apologize to you. Elder Sister, please forgive me.

Elder Sister, your goal is Capital University. That is my goal as well.

Please study hard. Who knows? We might meet at Capital University.

Your younger sister,

Lu Qingxin

Ye Tianxin bit her lips as she read the letter. This was amazing.

It was a nice present from Lu Qingxin.

“Tianxin, who wrote you the letter? The paper is even scented!”

Ye Tianxin folded the letter and returned it to the envelope. “It’s probably my enemy!” Ye Tianxin answered.

Li Xiaohui harrumphed and asked eagerly, “Ye Tianxin, is there someone you like?”

“The college entrance examinations are in a few days. Can you not think about such nonsense? If you have the time to gossip here, you might as well go and do a few more practice papers.”

Li Xiaohui looked upset at Ye Tianxin’s words. “Ye Tianxin, can you not be like the teachers and talk about the college entrance exams every day?” Li Xiaohui replied. “Whenever I hear the words ‘college entrance examinations’, my heart beats really, really fast. I think I might have a heart attack.”
