Chapter 40 The Test and Rebuilding of Trust
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling the campus path. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran walked side by side on this familiar path, their shadows intertwining and overlapping on the ground, as if foreshadowing the close connection of their fates.
"Yichen, do you remember our promise from ten years ago?" Lin Youran suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Yichen with gentle eyes. Her voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
Shen Yichen was slightly taken aback, then a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Of course I remember, Youran. We were young then, but we made such a naive promise. You said that ten years later we would watch a meteor shower together, and make a wish to be together forever."
“Yes, we were so innocent back then.” Lin Youran smiled, her smile tinged with nostalgia and emotion. “Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, we’re already in our senior year of high school, and there are only two years left until that promise.”
Shen Yichen gently held Lin Youran's hand, his eyes shining with seriousness and determination: "Youran, no matter how much time passes, I will always remember that promise. Moreover, I not only want to watch the meteor shower with you, but I also want to walk through every important moment with you, forever."
Lin Youran felt the warmth of Shen Yichen's hand, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She held Shen Yichen's hand tightly in return, as if she wanted to cherish this warmth forever in her heart: "Yichen, me too. I believe that our promise will definitely be fulfilled."
The two continued walking, a sweet yet bittersweet atmosphere filling the air. They knew that this youthful vow had taken root in their hearts, becoming each other's most precious memory.

Before they knew it, the pressure of the college entrance examination had quietly descended. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran both threw themselves into their intense studies. Although their time was filled with a large number of exercises and review materials, they would still secretly give each other an encouraging look or a warm smile during breaks.
"You Ran, can you do this problem?" One evening, Shen Yichen walked up to Lin You Ran's desk with a math test paper and pointed to a difficult problem.
Lin Youran took the test paper, carefully looked at the questions, and then patiently explained it to Shen Yichen: "This question is actually not difficult; the key is to find the hidden pattern..."
Under Shen Yichen's gaze, Lin Youran's voice sounded exceptionally gentle and clear. Every movement and every glance from her made Shen Yichen feel incredibly at ease and happy.
"Wow, it's that simple! You're amazing, Youran!" After listening to Lin Youran's explanation, Shen Yichen suddenly understood and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Lin Youran was also touched by Shen Yichen's smile. She smiled gently and said, "Yichen, don't be discouraged. As long as we work together, there's nothing we can't overcome."
Shen Yichen nodded vigorously, his eyes shining with determination: "Yes, I believe we can do it!"

On the last weekend before the college entrance examination, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran decided to go on a picnic in the countryside to relax. They brought simple food and drinks and rode their bicycles along the country roads.
Sunlight bathed them, a gentle breeze caressed their faces, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. They found a patch of grass under the shade of a tree, spread out their picnic blanket, and began to enjoy this rare moment of leisure.
"You Ran, what do you think will happen to us after the college entrance exam?" Shen Yichen asked suddenly, lying on the grass and looking at the blue sky and white clouds.
Lin Youran turned her head and looked into Shen Yichen's eyes: "Yichen, no matter where we are after the college entrance examination, our hearts will always be together. I believe that our future will be even better."
Hearing Lin Youran's words, Shen Yichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He sat up and held Lin Youran's hand tightly: "Youran, I believe you too. Moreover, I have another dream, which is to get into the same university as you and continue our youthful vows."
Lin Youran looked at Shen Yichen with emotion, tears welling in her eyes: "Yichen, this is also my dream. Let's work hard together, okay?"
They smiled at each other, as if they could already see a bright future ahead. They knew that as long as they believed in and supported each other, their dreams would surely come true.
------
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has finally arrived. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran, carrying each other's blessings and expectations, entered the examination hall. They knew this was the final step towards realizing their dreams.
After the exam, they walked out of the examination room, glanced at each other, and saw the determination and confidence in each other's eyes. They knew they had done their best, and no matter the outcome, they would have no regrets.
While waiting for their results, they maintained an optimistic attitude. They attended the graduation ceremony together, took graduation photos together, and reminisced about the past. They knew that these wonderful times would become their eternal memories.
Finally, the results were announced. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran both achieved excellent scores and were successfully admitted to the same university! They hugged each other excitedly, tears and smiles mingling together. They knew this was the best testament to their youthful vows.
------
The youthful promise of ten years continues. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran, filled with hope and anticipation for the future, embarked on a new journey together. They knew that their youthful vows had taken root and would blossom into even more magnificent flowers in the days to come.
