Chapter 146. Start of the exam
"Alright, but you can rest in the evening. During the day, it’s better to study with Qin Shu back here. The downstairs is too close to the main hall and too noisy."
"Okay," Hua Yunao nodded, agreeing with the suggestion.
The only remaining lower-grade room was indeed right next to the main hall, and even with the door closed, it was hard to block out the noise from outside. This was likely why this room was still available.
Meanwhile, Qin Shu had already organized his belongings in the room. Though he had promised Uncle Hua he would rest early, instead, he took out a book. Just as he was getting absorbed in it, he heard a knock on the door.
He had a hunch, cautiously asking, "Who is it?"
"It’s me," Hua Yunao laughed outside the door.
Hearing his friend’s voice, Qin Shu inexplicably felt relieved. Honestly, he was a bit afraid it was Uncle Hua. Although they had become familiar during the journey, old habits were hard to break.
Qin Shu quickly opened the door, greeting his friend with a smile.
"Try this," Hua Yunao said, immediately tossing a pear, given by his sister, to Qin Shu as he entered with a small bundle and two books.
Somehow, despite walking together, he had no idea when his sister bought this pear. It was truly delicious, juicy, and sweet. So much so that he couldn’t bear to throw away even the core, planning to plant it in the backyard, hoping to enjoy equally tasty pears in a few years.
