Wen Wan sat on a stone block outside the county government, holding a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts in her hands, a snack Song Wei bought for her before entering the examination hall.
To be on the safe side, the couple had arrived in town yesterday and rented a room at an inn not far from the county government.
Song Wei originally intended for Wen Wan not to come; it was enough for her to wait at the inn. However, Wen Wan disagreed. Even without a premonition, she wanted to personally wait outside the county government, unwilling to be at ease until she saw him emerge from the examination hall safe and sound.
Spring had already arrived, but the wind outside was strong and chilly, making her cheeks red with cold.
Wen Wan blew on her frozen hands and rubbed them together, continuing to peel and eat the chestnuts.
A tall, burly man appeared next to her without her noticing. After examining her with his gaze twice, he finally spoke, "Excuse me, are you Mrs. Wen, Song Wei's wife?"
