“It was… okay,” Mu Xiaoxiao jabbed her pen on a book and said uncertainly. Anyway, she had completed the paper and understood everything.
Yu Zhe looked at her expression and saw that she didn’t look too bad. He smiled and said, “You should be fine then.”
“How about you?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked him.
Yu Zhe sighed and smiled bitterly. “My English is okay… but I’ll pass barely.”
It always seemed that time flew whenever they had class.
The next lesson was Chinese.
Upon seeing the Chinese teacher enter the class with test papers, all the students groaned at once.
The Chinese teacher smiled as he said, “Groaning won’t help you at all. There’s going to be a test for every subject today, so good luck.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. “Another test?”
And for every subject too?
She plopped on the table lethargically and moaned tragically. “Why couldn’t I have come back later? Why!”
She could have avoided the tests like that!
Why must she undergo testing on her first day back in class?
And they were even even back to back!
Mu Xiaoxiao felt as though she was going to go mad…
She felt as though the heavens were trying to torture her because they thought her life was too easy.
On the other hand, Yu Zhe looked relaxed. “Tests are really normal. You’ll get used to it soon.”
Mu Xiaoxiao whined like a puppy. “I don’t want to get used to it; I don’t want to get used to tests!”
Yu Zhe was amused by her behavior
However, no matter how much she protested, she still had to take the tests.
The Chinese teacher distributed the papers swiftly, and the bell signaling the start of class rang.
“You may begin the test.”
Mu Xiaoxiao chewed on her pen as she read the paper.
She was acquainted with all the words on the paper, but why was it that she couldn’t understand a thing when they were placed together?
What was this “filling in the blanks for the poetry” about?
She had never memorized this poem before!
There was classical Chinese writing too… Mu Xiaoxiao felt like she was looking at an alien language.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked through the questions gravely and finished looking at all the questions quickly.
She realized… She didn’t know how to answer most of them.
What now?!
She couldn’t hand in a blank paper and score zero.
Mu Xiaoxiao had pride. She couldn’t get a zero for the paper! It would look so bad for her!
She tried to squeeze some Chinese knowledge from her brain and wrote down the answers to the questions she could do.
She couldn’t change how many marks she would be able to get now.
This period felt as if it was an entire year to Mu Xiaoxiao.
In contrast to her suffering, Yu Zhe looked very relaxed. He was writing very swiftly.
The test took up two periods.
After handing in her paper, Mu Xiaoxiao looked as though she was going to collapse, and she plopped on her table.
Yu Zhe turned back to look at her and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Do you need to be so exaggerated?” he asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t even have the strength to lift up her eyelids and said plaintively, “Tests are so tough. Who was the one who invented such things? Come out here; I promise I won’t beat you to death!”
Yu Zhe seemed to think about something and asked, “Did you grow up overseas? Did you not learn a lot of Chinese?
Mu Xiaoxiao only shook her head. She had no energy left to speak.
Because class was over, her classmates were leaving the classroom in a flurry.
Seeing how she was plopped there, unmoving, Yu Zhe asked concernedly, “Xiaoxiao, are you okay? How much longer are you going to rest? We should go and eat already.”
