A shriek from Lin Cuihua was answered by the door to their dorm being kicked open from the outside.
Wei Hong burst in, a pair of chopsticks in her left hand and a bowl in her right. "Stop!" she yelled.
Seeing the commotion, An Ning quickly moved aside and explained, "It's fine. My mom's just happy."
"Wei Hong—"
Lin Cuihua darted forward, grabbing Wei Hong's arm. Her mouth stretched into a wide grin, too excited to form coherent words.
"My daughter… An Ning… she got first in the college entrance exam! First! A perfect score! Perfect! First in the entire country!"
Lin Cuihua was babbling with excitement, but Wei Hong understood.
Upon hearing the news, Wei Hong was nearly as thrilled as Lin Cuihua. The two of them hugged and started jumping up and down in the doorway, completely forgetting themselves.
"That's amazing! Congratulations!"
"The joy is mutual! The joy is mutual!"
