The exam re-administration three days later went unexpectedly smoothly, Wen Wan did not have any bad premonitions this time.
Exiting the exam hall, Song Wei spotted Wen Wan waiting outside the government office.
She stood under a large pagoda tree not far away, wearing the pink beaded flowers he'd bought for her, a few strands of hair gently lifted by the breeze. Sunlight filtered through the pagoda blooms, illuminating her delicate and fair face. Her lips curved upwards, and her eyes seemed to be filled with stellar brilliance, brimming with the unique youthful vitality of a young girl.
Song Wei recalled what Song Fang had told him before they arrived at the Prefecture: "Third Brother really knows how to care for people. Ever since Sister-in-law married into our family, she has been living more carefree, even more like a young girl than me."
