Those six words nearly made Shi Yao’s legs collapse.
Cheat? Who’s going to cheat?
I have the Marxism ideology all memorized in my head! There’s no need for me to cheat at all!
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao turned to look at Lin Jiage with what she thought of as a ‘furious glare’.
But on the other hand…
Her puffed-up cheeks sure do make her face look round, but why is she staring at me with such an adorable look? Is she trying to act cute?
Lin Jiage’s gaze couldn’t help lingering on her face for a while before he reluctantly lowered his head. As he picked up the papers to distribute them, he said, “You can’t cheat even if you try to act cute with me!”
Shi Yao widened her eyes.
Act cute? Which eye of yours sees that I’m acting cute?
Forget it. Seeing as you’re the invigilator today, I’ll let you off this time…
Shi Yao pouted in displeasure. This time, she didn’t bother saying anything or making any gestures; she headed right to her seat instead.
Shi Yao and the others had entered the examination hall on the dot, so barely a few minutes after she was seated, the bell signaling the start of the examination rang.
Lu Benlai and Lin Jiage took half of the examination papers each. Initially, Lu Benlai was standing at the area closest to the window, but prior to giving out the papers, he noticed that Lin Jiage was staring at him intently, and his body suddenly froze. It took two seconds before he realized that Little Junior was in his ‘section’. So, he very knowingly walked over to the ‘section’ closer to the door before distributing the papers.
After the papers were distributed, the entire classroom was plunged into silence. All of the examinees were sprawled over the table, writing quickly on their papers with pens in hand.
Lin Jiage stood right beside the window, and from the moment the examination started, his eyes remained fixated on Shi Yao.
After obtaining the paper, Soft Bun’s pen swiftly moved across the paper…Judging from her current state, did she really know how to do the paper, or was she randomly answering all of the questions, wanting to just get it over and done with?
Then again, that serious look on her face while doing her paper is honestly endearing… Also, her mouth keeps moving silently as well. Is she reading the question?
Hm… They say that slow-witted people have to mouth out the words as they read in order to process it. Maybe there’s some truth in that statement. After all, I only have to take a glance at the question to know the answer…
Sometime later, Lin Jiage noticed that Shi Yao had already flipped to the next page on the paper.
Is she fumbling her way through the second page after fumbling her way through the first?
Yeesh, if this wasn’t an exam, I’d really like to take a photo of this with my phone.
Just forty minutes into the exam, Shi Yao’s pen had already come to a halt.
Ah… A two-hour paper, but she finished it in forty minutes? Well, fumbling through a paper is bound to be faster than answering each and every question seriously…
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage changed his standing posture as he continued staring at Shi Yao intently.
It was still fine when Shi Yao was answering the paper; her attention was absorbed by the question, so she didn’t pay much attention to what was happening in her surroundings. However, she was now done with her paper. As she took her time checking for any wrongly written words, she couldn’t help noticing that Lin Jiage’s gaze was firmly plastered onto her.
Why is he doing that? Is he afraid that I’ll cheat?
After changing two wrongly written words and confirming that there was no mistake with the paper, she noted that Lin Jiage’s gaze was still fixated on her. So, she put down her paper, cushioned her chin with her arm, and stared back at Lin Jiage as well.
Why is Soft Bun looking at me? It’s one thing for her to look at me, but she’s blinking from time to time as well… Is she trying to send me sparks?
Or did Soft Bun prepare some secret notes, and she can’t cheat with me staring at her so intently? So, she has no choice but to give me a hint this way?
Hmph, does she think that I’d let her cheat just because she blinked her eyes at me a few times? Do I look like such an unprincipled person?
As these thoughts emerged in Lin Jiage’s mind, he saw Shi Yao blink at him once more.
Fine! Since the person doing it is Soft Bun, I’ll reluctantly overlook it just this once…
