He Yu woke up at around five in the morning on the day of the college entrance examination.
The curtains in the room were not drawn, and from the window one could see that it was not yet fully light outside. The sky was gray and there was a chill in the air.
The light in the bathroom came on, and the sound of water running could be heard.
He Yu stood in front of the mirror, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face. The cold water slid down his cheeks, making him sober up a lot. He stood up straight, wiped his face, and his eyes fell on the razor and shaving cream beside him.
That was the razor blade of his father He Wenqing. He Yu had never used this thing so far, but he knew how to operate it.
"Boom boom boom"——
There was a knock on the door.
"Hiss..." He Yu looked at the cut on his chin in the mirror. Blood was seeping out of the wound. He bent his index finger and wiped it with his knuckles.
"Xiao Yu, are you in there?" the woman's soft voice asked outside the door.
He Yu: "Yeah."
The woman outside the door asked him what he wanted to eat.
He washed his face with water, cleaned the sink, walked over and opened the door, "Anything is fine."
"Don't forget to take your admission ticket later."
"Yeah, I know."
"Wait a minute—" He's mother stopped him, "What's wrong with your face?"
"It's okay." He Yu walked into the living room, "Do you have any Band-Aids at home?"
"Under the TV cabinet, I'll find it for you. How did you get hurt?"
"I can do it myself." He Yu said, "You go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."
He found a Band-Aid, covered the scratch on his chin in front of the mirror, and then went over to wake Li Fengran up.
He's mother made a light breakfast. The food at home these past two days was not too heavy, because they were concerned about He Yu's college entrance examination and wanted him to avoid getting an upset stomach before the test.
He's mother and Li Fengran's mother agreed to take the two children to the examination room together, and He Yu's parents specially cleared their time today.
The He family has been well-off in the past ten years and bought a car. I don't know how much money Li Fengran's mother has, but she is not poor overall. She bought a car a few years ago to make it convenient for her to go out and come back.
Li Fengran's mother was wearing a cheongsam, with her hair tied up and her face made up. She looked cool and beautiful. After she got in the car, she closed the door and started the car.
Li Fengran didn't get in his family's car, but got into He Yu's car.
"Have you taken everything you are supposed to take?"
"Um."
"What's wrong with your face?" Li Fengran poked the wound on He Yu's chin.
"It's okay, I just scratched it."
"It wasn't there yesterday. Let me see—"
He Yu grabbed his wrist and said, "Sit still and don't move."
