OF COURSE, Kong Yi didn't miss this interaction. He was, once again, surprised. He guessed that the Luo family's second young master was not favored. After all, he just woke up from a coma and his father wanted him to take a test to a school known for its hard exams. But President Luo not only accompanied this 'not so favored' son, he was even smiling gently at him right now.

It seemed like he needed to reevaluate things in regards to this second young master Luo.

After they got out of the elevator, the vice-chairman led them to a big room that seemed to be for entertaining guest.

"President Luo and third young master could stay here while you wait for the second young master to finish his exam," Kong Yi said, gesturing for them to sit down on the couches. He then turned to one of his assistants and told him to bring refreshments and snacks.

Luo Jin lazily sat down, Luo Wei Tian and Luo Yan also followed.

"The teacher in-charge of the exam is on his way now," the vice-chairman said.

Luo Wei Tian didn't say anything but he was clearly dissatisfied. The date of this exam had long been decided since last week, why did these people seem not ready at all? It was a good thing that he really decided to go with Luo Yan. If not, who knew what kind of grievance his son would suffer in the hands of these people?

Soon, there was a knock on the door and a man entered. He seemed to be in his early 30s, but he could be easily mistaken to be only in his 20s. He was average in height and his body's structure tend to be more on the lean and slim side. His black hair was neatly arranged in a clean style. He was wearing a white long sleeved shirt tucked in a pair of form fitting black pants. His eyes were covered by a pair of thick glasses. So one couldn't really tell the features of his face.

But Luo Yan couldn't help but think that the man would definitely have a handsome face. Though he didn't really know what the basis of that was.

"Teacher Jiang, come," the vice-chairman called. "This is Teacher Jiang, he would facilitate second young master's exam," he introduced.

Teacher Jiang greeted Luo Wei Tian. "President Luo."

Luo Wei Tian didn't pay him any mind. Instead, he turned to Luo Yan. "Xiao Yan doesn't have to feel any pressure. Just answer the questions that you know. Whatever your result would be, Dad is already proud of you."

"Yes, Dad."

Luo Jin then messed Luo Yan's hair. "Don't think to the point that your brain will hurt. I don't want to hear you passing out in there."

Luo Yan fixed his hair and pouted. "Ah Jin won't tell me good luck?"

"You don't need luck. Because I know you'll do great."

Luo Yan smiled brightly when he heard that. "Ah Jin is so sweet."

Luo Jin suddenly blushed. "W-who's sweet? Your-" then he immediately stopped. If he said 'your whole family is sweet', he would just look extremely stupid. "Just go and take your exam!"

Luo Yan stood up and looked at Teacher Jiang. "Let's go, Teacher."

The teacher smiled. "Please, follow me."

He followed the teacher out of the room. On their way, Teacher Jiang had been silent and Luo Yan didn't really have an interest to start a conversation with him.

"You seem to have a very good relationship with your family," Teacher Jiang suddenly said.

Luo Yan glanced at the teacher. Because of the thick glasses covering his eyes, Luo Yan couldn't tell his expression. So, he had no idea why he suddenly said that. He could only smile. "Yes, they love me very much. And I love them too."

Teacher Jiang suddenly chuckled. "That's truly enviable," he said, his voice full of amus.e.m.e.nt. "Yes, really enviable."

This time, Luo Yan could hear the suppressed sadness in the teacher's voice. But he paid it no mind. A stranger's problem had nothing to do with him.

After walking for a while, they reached a room. It was a large room that almost seemed like a lecture hall. The only difference was there's only one chair behind a desk at the very middle.

"Please, go and sit down on that chair," Teacher Jiang said.

Luo Yan raised one of his brows but still walked and sat down on the chair. If he was truly just a 17-year-old kid who just woke up from a coma, he'd definitely feel pressured by this kind of set-up.

Teacher Jiang took something from the desk at the front. Then walked towards him. He then placed a tablet and a stylus on the desk. "All the exam questions are here. Just click on the icon with the name of the subject and answer the questions using this stylus. Once you're done or if you have any other questions, just call out. I'll be sitting at the front."

Luo Yan looked down at the tablet and saw the icons with the different subject names. It seemed like the tablet was modified for a situation like this. Wow. When did taking exams became this high-tech? Or was this only available in this school?

"Yes, Teacher," he answered.

"Then all the best," the teacher smiled at him.

Although Luo Yan couldn't see his full face, he could feel the genuine goodwill coming from Teacher Jiang. So this time, his smile was also a bit genuine. "Thank you, Teacher."

Teacher Jiang then walked towards the desk at the front and sat behind it.

Luo Yan didn't hesitate to pick the icon with the word 'Mathematics' on it. A bunch of questions appeared. Looking at it, he couldn't help but feel excited. Because once this exam was over and he passed, it meant that he could go to high school here. He would truly enter society once again.

One could say that this signal the start. The true start of his rebirth. He smiled. Then he's looking forward to everything that would happen here on after.
