Chapter 2107 - 2109: The Last Name on the List

"Little rascal, weren’t you supposed to be asleep?" Ye Zi’an’s old face turned slightly red.

"Of course I wasn’t asleep, otherwise how would I know what Dad wants to do." Lele spread his little hands, grinning mischievously, "I figured, Dad coming to my place so late, he’s either here to scold me or to apologize, especially since yesterday’s matter still hasn’t been resolved. But Dad sat for quite a while, rambling without scolding me, so I thought it must be for the latter reason."

"Knowing my mom, she’d most likely be aware of this, so it’s not my fault. She would definitely make you come and apologize to me. But you haven’t said anything, so I guess you’re embarrassed. That’s why I only pretended to be asleep."

Ye Zi’an’s mouth twitched, "Little rascal, you’re the clever one."

He vigorously ruffled Lele’s hair, "This was Dad’s fault. I was too hasty. Dad apologizes to you."

"Hmm, for my mom’s sake, I reluctantly forgive you."

"Hey, you’re reluctantly forgiving me?" Ye Zi’an reached out to tickle him under the armpit, "I’ll give you reluctant!"

"Haha... Haha..."

The sound of laughter spread outside where Yang Chuxia could hear it.

"Madam, should we go in?"

Yang Chuxia shook her head, "Let’s not. Let them have their father-son moment. Let’s go back to sleep."

She came, worried that this issue might create a rift between father and son. Lele is quite mature for his age and shouldn’t be treated like an ordinary child; he should be treated like an adult or friend, acknowledged when right, and apologized to when wrong.

"Oh right, we should go to bed early. Tomorrow is the announcement day, and we are awaiting good news from granduncle."

Yang Chuxia smiled, "Let’s hope it’s good news."

After a small half-month of recuperation, Yang Xiayun improved significantly. The medicine was no longer needed, only consuming medicinal meals. Early in the morning, she and Luo Linyu said they’d go wait for the list’s release.

"You better not go. The last time you went out, something happened. This time, none of us will go. We’ll wait at home and let the steward go check."

It must be said, the waiting process can be somewhat lengthy. Naturally, Yang Chuxia hopes both would pass, but if by chance Yang Qingtong passes and Yang Qingrui doesn’t, it would be a bit embarrassing since Qingrui is the eldest.

However, fortunately, Yang Chuxia’s worry was unnecessary as both made it to the list, except Yang Qingrui’s ranking was a bit awkward, being the last name!

Meanwhile, Yang Qingtong’s ranking was much better, not in the top class, but close to the top of the second class.

"Although the ranking isn’t high, at least he made it." Seeing his somewhat pale expression, Yang Chuxia comforted, "Being last in the second class is still better than being first in the third class, don’t you think?"

"Haha..." Yang Xiayun laughed, "Sis, that’s quite some comforting."

Luo Linyu also nodded, "Indeed, Qingrui, think about how frustrated the people behind you must feel."

"Alright, I’m not too bothered." Yang Qingrui scratched his head, "It’s just a bit awkward."

When Ye Zi’an returned and learned about the ranking, the corners of his mouth twitched too. This ranking is really precarious.

"Don’t worry too much about the ranking this time. This only qualifies you to participate in the final exam, the ultimate ranking will be decided after that."

Ye Zi’an added, "However, the final exam ranking usually isn’t much different from this one. The exam is in ten days, so don’t go out these days, stay home and prepare well."
