Song Jing suppressed his soaring spirits and solemnly promised Ji Huan, "Don't worry, I'll have my mother find the best matchmaker to propose marriage to your family."
Ji Huan's smile vanished.
"Um, don't tell your mother just yet... What I mean is, there's no rush. The most important thing right now is your exams, and there are so many of them..."
Song Jing was brimming with excitement. Forget two or three exams; even eight or ten wouldn't feel like a hardship.
"Whether it's the county exam or the provincial exam, I will definitely pass. Trust me."
He was on top of the world, his words now filled with more confidence than before.
It wasn't that Ji Huan didn't believe him, but nothing was ever a sure thing when it came to the examination hall.
"Ahem. Anyway, just do your best. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you can't see the world outside for a while, it's not a big deal. The scenery here is quite nice too."
