“It’s time for the exam. Don’t be nervous and focus on the questions…”
“What are you nervous about? When have I ever dropped out of the first place in my class?” Chen Meng’er interrupted Chen Haoxuan’s chattering.
“I’m just afraid that you won’t be used to being transferred here…” Chen Haoxuan touched his nose and said with a slightly aggrieved tone.
The exam began. The first exam was mathematics.
Because it was only the first monthly exam after the start of the school year, the school’s goal was to find out everyone’s background. Therefore, there wasn’t a large-scale exam venue. The invigilator was also the teacher in charge of each class.
The invigilator of Chen Meng’er’s mathematics exam was their own mathematics teacher, Mr. Qiu.
When Mr. Qiu came in with the papers, he couldn’t help but look at Chen Meng’er a few more times before he started to explain the rules of the exam before handing out the papers.
After Chen Meng’er received the paper, she roughly looked at the paper in her hand. She realized that the questions on the math paper were somewhat difficult, but it wasn’t so difficult that the students would be at a loss.
She picked up the pen and began to write rapidly.
When Mr. Qiu was supervising the exam, he didn’t like to sit on the podium. He liked to wander around the class. This way, the students would behave themselves and not dare to lower their heads and make small movements.
Even though he was sitting on the podium, he could clearly see what the students were doing below.
When Mr. Qiu received the exam paper, he took a look at it. It was quite difficult. It wasn’t easy to get good results. He walked around and realized that there were many students in his class. They were scratching their cheeks and frowning. The pen in their hands, couldn’t be put down no matter how hard they tried.
When Mr. Qiu walked over to Chen Meng’er’s side, he deliberately slowed down his pace. To be honest, the student in this class that he was most worried about during this exam was Chen Meng’er.
When Mr. Qiu walked to Chen Meng’er’s side, he initially thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. This student who had worried him the most was now focused on answering the questions. The pen in her hand was spinning rapidly, there was no intention of stopping at all.
This seemed to be completely different from what he had expected. He thought that he would see Chen Meng’er biting the tip of the pen and frowning, not knowing what to write.
Mr. Qiu could not help but stand behind Chen Meng’er. He wanted to see if Chen Meng’er could really answer all these questions smoothly, or if she was just pretending and blindly answering the questions.
Mr. Qiu walked over. How could she not notice it? It was just that she deliberately ignored her math teacher, Mr. Qiu.
When he saw Chen Meng’er’s test paper clearly, he was shocked. Every answer was correct, even the answer to the most difficult question.
He carefully looked at Chen Meng’er’s steps to solve the question. It was exactly the same as the answers in the hands of the teachers.
Mr. Qiu did not know how he walked back to the podium. He only slowly came back to his senses when the bell rang at the end of the exam.
After the math exam ended, everyone had a period of time to rest and wait for the next exam.
However, their math teacher, Mr. Qiu, took the math paper and just walked out of the classroom, the students in the classroom let out a wail.
“Oh my God, this was too difficult. I didn’t even do a few questions.”
“Me too, me too. I don’t even know how to write.”
“I’m dead meat this time. Once the paper is handed out, I’ll definitely be scolded to death by Mr. Qiu.”
The continuous wailing made Chen Meng’er want to cover her ears.
Qiu Jing was also drooping her head. She no longer had the excitement of gossiping in the morning. However, she still could not help but come over and ask Chen Meng’er, “Chen Meng’er, how did you do?” As she spoke, she did not wait for Chen Meng’er to answer. She started to complain, “Who came up with this exam? We just started school, and it’s our first monthly exam, yet they came up with such a difficult question. Are they trying to make us die?” As she said that, Qiu Jing leaned on the table by herself, she hummed and said, “I’m not good at math to begin with, and I thought that if it wasn’t difficult, it would be great if I could pass. Sigh, it looks like even passing this time is difficult. Hey, Chen Meng’er, what about you?”
After venting her bitterness, Qiu Jing remembered that her neighbor seemed to be too quiet.
“Me? I’m alright,” Chen Meng’er said very calmly.
“Alright? How?”
“Well, when the results are out, you’ll know for yourself. Don’t keep thinking about the math exam. The English exam is coming up soon. You’d better adjust your attitude. Don’t think about the math exam and mess up the English exam later. When that time comes, it won’t look good.” Chen Meng’er hurriedly changed the topic, she finally understood her neighbor’s temper. If she didn’t change the topic, she would probably be annoyed to death by her neighbor.
“Yes, yes. English is my strong point. I can’t mess it up again.”
Time passed quickly during the exam. Soon, the day passed.
After handing in the Chinese paper, Chen Meng’er packed up and prepared to go home.
The other students in the class all looked as if they had just ended a war and were extremely tired. On the other hand, Chen Meng’er was completely relaxed. If Chen Meng’er had to say, this day was much easier than when she was at home dealing with the Green Gang and the Liu family.
After this day’s examination, Chen Meng’er’s three main teachers had really changed their opinion of her a lot.
