215: Chapter 214: I’m Interested in Her!【Second Update】 215: Chapter 214: I’m Interested in Her!【Second Update】 Li Chen and Ye Chuxue horsed around on the way and were delayed quite a bit.
Therefore, by the time they reached the school, the exam bell had already rung and the proctors were about to distribute the test papers.
Ye Chuxue, being the top-notch beaut and brainiac of the school, was universally liked by the teachers, male or female, so naturally, no one made things difficult for her.
Furthermore, one of the female teachers asked her with concern if she was feeling unwell or anything like that.
However, Li Chen, being an academic underachiever, didn’t receive such nice treatment.
“The exam is about to start, why are you only arriving now?
Look around, is there anyone here who came later than you?”
Li Chen pointed at Ye Chuxue in front of him and said, “Her!”
The proctor saw this and laughed, saying, “She has always been one of the top three in her grade during exams, can you compare with her?”
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “I let her be on purpose, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, right?”
The proctor said, “My my, you’re not doing well in exams, yet you still find so many valid excuses for yourself?”
The classroom erupted in laughter at this point.
Li Chen shook his head and sighed, “Ah, a summer bug cannot speak of ice!”
Ten minutes later, the exam officially began.
The first subject was Chinese!
Li Chen glanced over the exam paper, and to him, it was as easy as a kindergarten test, nothing challenging at all.
His pen scratching on the paper was like a brisk autumn wind sweeping leaves, swift and rapid.
While many were still on the first question, Li Chen had already flipped the page.
When others finished the first question, Li Chen had already started on the essay.
He stared at the essay prompt for three minutes and then began to write.
In less than ten minutes, he had already effortlessly scribbled down eight hundred words.
In just twenty minutes, Li Chen had finished the entire exam paper.
By this time, most of the students were still deep in thought on the second question.
Even top students like Ye Chuxue and Lin Xuanfei had only reached the third question.
“Teacher, I’ve finished my paper, may I turn it in?”
Li Chen’s voice suddenly broke the silence, sounding particularly jarring.
Immediately, all the examinees turned their eyes towards Li Chen.
“Wow, finished so quickly.
He’s not preparing to turn in a blank paper, is he?”
“Come on, can’t you stop showing off?”
“Hey, this guy, couldn’t do the test himself and now distracting us.
Really a rotten apple spoils the barrel!”
Ye Chuxue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she whispered, “Hey, what are you up to?
Even if you’re planning to streak naked in the street, there’s no need to rush, right?”
Li Chen, with a face of embarrassment, didn’t intend to go streaking.
He was sure of his win and was already waiting to appreciate Ye Chuxue’s perfect… dance performance.
The proctor looked extremely disappointed and said, “It’s only been twenty minutes since the exam started, are you planning to turn in a blank paper?”
Li Chen picked up his exam paper and said, “Teacher, it’s all filled out, not a blank paper!”
While speaking, he handed over his exam paper.
The proctor, taking Li Chen’s paper, was utterly dumbfounded.
“Eh, what kind of script is this, why have I never seen it?
Wang, you are from a classical Chinese background, do you recognize this script?”
Wang, who was monitoring from the back, quickly walked over upon hearing his colleague’s call.
“What’s the matter, Mr.
Wang even finished speaking, he saw the elegant script on the paper and was immediately dumbstruck.
“Is, is this oracle bone script?”
Zhang looked surprised: “Oracle bone script?
Isn’t that the script from the Shang and Zhou Period?”
Wang nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, oracle bone script from the Shang and Zhou period.
I did a research project on this in university with my supervisor.”
“Tsk tsk, this oracle bone script is written so perfectly, it’s divine.
Even if all his other subject scores were zero, just this piece of oracle bone script could guarantee him a recommendation to Southeast University’s Department of Classical Literature!”
The entire classroom erupted in astonishment.
Although Southeast University couldn’t compare to Tsinghua or Beijing University, it was still a prestigious 985 university and ranked in the top ten in the country.
Li Chen, who just a moment ago was ridiculed as an academic failure, had suddenly transformed into a recommended student for Southeast University, which was absolutely incredible.
“Wow, this can’t be real, right?
I must be hallucinating from overusing my brain!”
Some were rubbing their eyes, others pinching their arms, and even slapping their faces, trying to prove this wasn’t real.
But after reddening their eyes, swelling their arms, and bruising their lips, the reality before their eyes remained unchanged.
In just twenty minutes, not only had he finished a Chinese exam paper, but he’d also written the essay in oracle bone script, completely overturning the students’ understanding of the world.
Ah, really, comparing goods makes you discard them, compared people make you despair!
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said to the proctor, “Teacher, I’m done with the exam, can I leave now?”
“This student, did you really write this oracle bone script essay yourself?”
Although he saw it with his own eyes, Li Chen swiftly writing answers, the proctor still found it hard to believe and couldn’t help asking again.
After all, Li Chen was too fast, so fast that even though he witnessed it, he still found it hard to believe at first.
Li Chen, slightly impatiently, said, “Of course I did, who else could have written it, you?”
After being retorted by a student, Mr.
Wang did not get angry but instead smiled even more.
“This student, would you be interested in participating in the independent recruitment exams of Southeast University?
With your research on oracle bone script, a recommendation to Southeast University is no issue at all!”
Li Chen shook his head, stating, “Southeast University?
Wang, clearly disappointed, but still unwilling to give up on such a promising candidate, pleaded a bit.
“Student, the study of classical literature at Southeast University is top-notch nationwide, probably only comparable to Beijing University’s Literature Department.
Maybe reconsider carefully?”
Li Chen, annoyed by his persistence, waved his hand and said, “Teacher, I’m not interested in classical literature!”
Wang, startled, quickly asked, “Then what are you interested in?”
Instead of directly answering, Li Chen turned to look at Ye Chuxue, and said very seriously, “Teacher, I’m interested in her!”
Ye Chuxue’s pretty face blushed as she whispered angrily, “This jerk, even in the classroom, he can’t stop being a pervert!”
Wang gave an embarrassed laugh and said, “Haha, student, you’re really humorous!”
Li Chen, not bothering with him any further, said, “Teacher, I’ve handed in my paper, I will leave now.”
As he reached the door, he shot a mischievous smile at Ye Chuxue, whispering, “Xue’er, I’m looking forward to your wonderful performance!”
