The next day, it was still pitch black outside. Gu Chengyu had already lit a candle and was practicing his calligraphy in the flickering candlelight, while Ye Zhiqiu was reviewing the books he had studied.
"Chengyu! Do you have confidence in this county examination?" The county examination was approaching, and the exam would begin at 3:30 AM. Even though Ye Zhiqiu held a book in his hand, he couldn't focus on a single word.
He watched Gu Chengyu, who was calmly grinding ink, his expression peaceful under the candlelight. He truly admired this younger brother; even now, Chengyu could remain so composed. In comparison, Ye felt somewhat restless.
He didn't want to be so tense, but he and Gu Chengyu were different. Chengyu came from a wealthy family without any worries about food or clothing. Moreover, Chengyu was young, so even if he didn't pass this year, he could try again in three years. Besides, with Chengyu's exceptional talent, he probably had no reason to be anxious, right?
