Before Chen Yi could speak, Xiao Wuge lifted his head and said, "If you take the Annual Examination, Brother-in-law, you're sure to take first place."
Pei Guanli, who was beside them, chimed in, "Brother-in-law will have no problem, of course."
"First place? He's qualified enough to be the head examiner."
Chen Yi let out a helpless laugh. "I haven't touched those classics in a long time. I'm not confident I can pass the Annual Examination."
But when he saw the eager look in Xiao Wan'er's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse outright. He just said,
"There are still two months left, anyway. I'll think about it."
A smile bloomed on Xiao Wan'er's face, her bright eyes reflecting his image. "That's more like it," she said, her voice tinged with delight.
