On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the academy's quiz ended. Liu Ji took the test paper marked with an excellent score by the teacher, took a deep breath, prepared mentally to face everything, packed his luggage, and set off to return home.
During this time, Liu Bai came to the county town to see him once, mainly to confirm that he was indeed alive and back.
Having confirmed that he was still alive and studying hard, Liu Bai felt very relieved and returned home at ease.
At this point, Liu Ji knew that Qin Yao was already aware that he was alive and had returned.
He didn't dare to step out of the academy gate even for a moment until the quiz was over and the academy began to take a holiday break. Only then did he anxiously leave the city.
Because he had no money, he could only walk.
Along the way, Liu Ji was like a frightened bird, jumping at any little commotion.
