Sikong Jian assumed Qin Yao was nearby and was on guard at all times.
Inside Kuanzheng Square, the mother and daughter put on their sun veils and walked out the door.
Caiwei mentioned yesterday that the result would be out by noon, so Qin Yao brought Si Niang along at noon.
It was midday when students were taking their lunch break. The academy was noisy and chaotic, filled with the voices of children, much livelier than it had been the previous day.
When Qin Yao and her daughter arrived, Caiwei was already outside the gate, looking around.
Seeing the mother and daughter walking towards her, Caiwei glanced up at the sun, which was blazing directly overhead; they weren't early, nor were they late.
"Mrs. Qin!" Caiwei stepped forward quickly, smiling as she greeted them.
Qin Yao exchanged a surprised glance with Si Niang, signaling good news.
Si Niang called out to Sister Caiwei, eagerly asking, "Did the dean agree to admit me?"
