On the fifteenth of February, the third round of the examination came to an end. The candidates spent an exhilarating yet unbearable night at the Imperial College, finally released from the Exam Site on the sixteenth after another stringent body search.
There were many people outside the Imperial College.
Gu Jiao arrived early and got a good spot.
The gates of the Imperial College opened and the candidates began to trickle out.
Gu Jiao had only been able to greet Xiao Liulang once during the county-level examination, having missed the rest - the prefectural exams, college and rural exams - because she was out of town for her own exams.
This was Gu Jiao's first time waiting for him amidst a sea of people after an examination, much like family members waiting outside an exam site during college entrance exams in her past life.
Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long before she saw Xiao Liulang, with his bundle, came out.
He was easy to spot amidst the crowd.
