NOVEL NEXT Chapter 505: Chaos
Jiang Nian turned his head and noticed the quiet Li Qingrong.
Seeing that she hadn't packed anything, he couldn't help asking.
"Where's your exam bag?"
"In the desk." Li Qingrong raised her eyes to look at him, then took out the transparent bag, "Do you need a pen?"
"No, I have one." Jiang Nian picked up the bag and checked it carefully, "Why didn't you bring an eraser?"
Li Qingrong lowered her eyes, originally wanting to say she didn't need it. But just as she was about to speak, she swallowed her words to spare his pride.
"Forgot."
"How could you forget something so important?" Jiang Nian shook his head, then cut his own eraser in half.
"There, now you have one."
Li Qingrong glanced at him, seeing his smug look. Not knowing what he was so happy about, she said.
"Thank you."
Zhang Ningzhi buried her head under the raised textbook, listening in the whole time with some envy, she muttered quietly.
"Stupid Jiang Nian, why didn't you ask me if I forgot an eraser!"
"Hmph, only cares about the class monitor."
"Don't talk to this person anymore, horrible ingrate. Keep talking to him, and you'll turn into a little dog."
Suddenly, Jiang Nian leaned over.
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Ah?" Zhang Ningzhi backed away, startled by how close he was, "I... wasn't saying anything."
"Oh, okay. Do you have all your stationery?" Jiang Nian casually checked her things, squeezing her exam bag.
"It's not transparent; they'll stop you later."
Zhang Ningzhi huffed, "No, they won't!"
Jiang Nian said, "For college entrance exams, you can only bring a transparent bag. How did you plan to bring this pink one in?"
"I'll just buy one for the exams." Zhang Ningzhi pouted, "The transparent one isn't as cute as the pink one; it makes me feel better on the test."
Unknowingly, she forgot her earlier vow.
"Ah!!!" Li Hua screeched from the side, "Damn it, where's my eraser? Who saw my eraser?"
Li Qingrong looked up, glanced at half an eraser on her desk, then looked up again at Jiang Nian in front of her.
Hmm?
"Jiang, did you see my eraser..." Li Hua's words trailed off, "Chi Shi! You beast!!"
The Chinese exam began at nine o'clock.
Not long after morning self-study ended, people were already on the fourth floor. Standing in the hallway outside the classroom doors, waiting to enter the exam room.
"We can't leave this early, we can only go at 8:20."
"But people are already here."
Hearing this, Cai Xiaoqing thought for a moment.
"Then let's see when the class next door leaves; we'll go when they do."
Hu Nianzhong put away his phone and opened the essential Chinese booklet for the college entrance exam. His face was flushed, and he excitedly recited two lines of poetry.
"Laugh aloud and go out the door, Lin Dong's sentiment towards me unmatched!"
Truly earning money, even if it's some currency. There are many ways to turn it into cash, round it up, and it equals 1,800 yuan.
For a high school student, 600 is enough for a month's food, and he only needs 400 to survive.
Now, standing at the starting point ready to soar.
"What's he doing?" Yang Qiming couldn't stand Hu Nianzhong; that guy's relationship with Brother Dong was even better than his own.
Is that right?
"Maybe... he's done reviewing." Huang Caicai guessed, "But he seems to have been like this lately."
"Brother Yang, do you think he could... have gotten rich?"
Huang Caicai and Hu Nianzhong's family conditions were similar, but the difference was, thanks to his lucky koi fate, he was getting more comfortable.
No money, but his meals were almost free.
Over time, he not only saved on pocket money. Compared to his previous life, the quality had doubled.
"Ha, rich?" Yang Qiming sneered, raising his chin, "He doesn't even have capital, what money could he make?"
Just as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Zhou Yuting glancing at him.
"Speaking of which, when I used to trade stocks..."
Zhou Yuting gave him a look and couldn't help saying.
"Minors can't trade stocks."
Hearing this, Yang Qiming was stumped, his mind went blank.
"I've actually been an adult for a long time."
Zhou Yuting sized him up, "Oh, no wonder, you can tell."
Yang Qiming: "...."
Just then, someone in the class stood up and shouted.
"Class 2 went!"
"Then we should go too, off to the exam room."
With a rustle, a group of people got up and left. In the chaos, with a bang, someone's glass fell to the ground.
"Damn?"
Jiang Nian happened to pass by, got startled. Looking up, he saw the artistic committee member Lark looking pale with fright.
People around were also stunned, not knowing what to say.
"It's fine, an old saying, broken glass brings safety." Jiang Nian reacted first, casually quipping, "The exam will surely go smoothly."
The others caught on and followed suit.
"Yeah, safe every year."
"A good start."
Hearing this, Dong Que, still in an awkward state, returned to her senses. She smiled at those around her, feeling a bit warmed inside.
Two classmates, seeing the opportunity, helped clean up.
"Thank you, everyone."
"No problem."
Suddenly remembering something, Dong Que turned her head.
She only saw Jiang Nian's straight back flash through the back door, disappearing like a fish in the golden sunlit corridor.
Chinese exam room.
Zeng You sat in the exam room, regulating his breath, his gaze calm. Outwardly like a pool of water, yet inside already a stormy sea.
He thought to himself, the genius Xiao Yan will surely...
This odd behavior naturally caught the attention of the invigilator.
"Hmm?"
The teacher looked at him several times, increasingly curious. Just couldn't figure out what this student was doing, just continued observing.
Zeng You also noticed the invigilator, frowning.
"Idiot."
It was becoming a bit much for him. He wasn't cheating, so why keep staring at him?
Did he have something inappropriate on his face?
The once genius Xiao Yan had fallen to...
How annoying!
He thought for a moment, suddenly had a good idea. Simply filled out the answer sheet for a bit, then pretended to look at his palm.
Sure enough, the young invigilator approached quickly.
"Hands out!"
Zeng You was startled, clutching his palm tightly. He looked up at the invigilator with an awkward smile.
Seeing this, the invigilator was more convinced this person was cheating, his face turning serious as he loudly reprimanded.
"Open your hand!"
This commotion drew the attention of another middle-aged invigilator, who approached from the back row, whispering to inquire.
"Little Teacher Zhao, what's wrong?"
"This student has a cheat sheet in his hand, I told him to take it out." The young teacher pointed at Zeng You, looking somewhat angry.
The middle-aged teacher, more composed, glanced at Zeng You.
"Student, open your hand, let's see."
Zeng You gave an "oh" and slowly opened his hand towards the young teacher. Inside, there was no cheat sheet, just a single large character.
[Look at your mom].
The young teacher was stunned at first, then immediately realized what it meant.
Getting called out?
Deeply frustrated, shaking like a leaf, thinking today's students are truly bold, how dare they...how dare they!
"What do you mean? Insulting a teacher!"
Zeng You had spent almost all three years of high school buried in novels, frequently scolded by teachers, he became thick-skinned and unshakable.
"No, I was reminding myself. To always keep in mind the hard work of your mom, not to let her efforts go to waste."
"Too many words to fit, so I shortened it to 'look at your mom'."
The young invigilator: "..."
The middle-aged teacher also had trouble holding back, but took a look at his class. Third class of the Olympic competition, he decided to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, a misunderstanding, continue with the exam."
