Chapter 8 – Examination
The mid-term exam was right in front of them. Everyone was in a frantic review period. Fewer people went to the bathroom between classes.
Chi Tang’s grades were not bad, even if she was not as diligent as those students who hugged and chewed on books all day and temporarily hugged Buddha’s feet, she could still get a good result every time. She had to say that she was quite proud of herself in her heart, but that kind of secret mentality that she hadn’t even noticed was never seen again after she became a deskmate with You Yu.
No one could be complacent about her cleverness around such a schoolmaster.
They had to take nine courses. Each student would be more or less partial and have subjects that they were good at and not good at, but You Yu didn’t have them. She only had what she was good at and better subjects. Needless to say, in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, she was also good at things like political history that require memorization.
On the eve of the exam, You Yu still studied calmly, keeping pace with her rhythm when she was not taking the exam. She didn’t show any nervousness just because she was about to take the exam, and she didn’t go to review a certain subject. This was normal. This student had always been very stable during the exam.
As her deskmate, Chi Tang doubted after seeing her review process up close.
“I don’t see you revise history and politics?”
You Yu looked at her, “I have already memorized it, so I don’t need to look at it again.”
“Remember. How long have you been revising?”
“I’ve gone through them twice.”
Chi Tang drew out her history textbook then selected a paragraph and pointed. You Yu glanced at it, then turned to the beginning and continued to write the physics problem, reciting it all by heart.
Chi Tang: “…”
After You Yu finished reciting it, seeing that she was not talking, she turned her head and looked amused by Chi Tang’s sour expression and smiled.
Chi Tang realized that You Yu changed a little. She didn’t smile before, nor would she meet her eyes. She still remembered earlier that You Yu seemed to be unable to look other people in the eyes, but could only look at the various textbook topics in front of her, immersed in her world.
But now, she could see herself in her eyes. Her figure reflected in them.
Chi Tang averted her eyes and went to look at the ginkgo tree outside the window. The leaves of the ginkgo tree were a bit yellow. Autumn was here, coming silently.
The mid-term exam was three days and for most students, they were the worst three days in their lives. Even Chi Tang put on a sour expression after the exam and put on headphones to decompress. The questions were especially difficult, she felt that she probably failed the exam this time.
Behind her was full of buzzing discussions, and one after another was the wailing of “I didn’t pass the exam this time. What should I do if I didn’t pass the final exam either. It’s too difficult, the teacher wants us to die”.
Of course, there was a part those who failed to pass the exam because they were not doing it well.
Chi Tang suddenly rose and asked You Yu: “How did you do in the exam?”
You Yu stopped writing and answered her honestly: “I think I did a good job.”
This was not bad for Chi Tang, but it seems that to other people, Zhao Rongrong in the front row turned his head and smirked: “How can you do poorly in the first grade. Chi Tang, why did you ask?”
Chi Tang didn’t answer, and she had nothing to say.
“I’ve watched you talk recently. I think Chi Tang, shouldn’t bother You Yu studying. She is so busy. As soon as you talk to her, she will stop and talk to you. If you disturb her and her grades deteriorate, the headteacher will talk to you.”
When he said this, he didn’t seem to be talking to Chi Tang seriously.
Chi Tang put down the pen in her hand and said: “You control it quite broadly. We are talking, not in love, which can’t affect our studies. She must have done better than you in the exam. You might as well mind yourself if you have that much time to watch me.”
Zhao Rongrong was so angry that he wanted to say something, and was dragged back by his deskmate, “Forget it, don’t talk to them.”
Chi Tang turned the book on her desk sullenly without speaking.
After a while, a notebook was pushed over. She subconsciously thought that You Yu came to feed her the question again, but after a glance, she realized that it was not a question. It was a small note.
Several rows of elegant handwriting appeared on her notebook full of various steps and drafts.
“Don’t listen to him, it won’t affect me. I don’t like talking to others, but you are different from them.”
Chi Tang felt better again and took the notebook and wrote a sentence on it: “Zhao Rongrong is a fool, how come there are so many fools in our class.”
She is not polite to cursing, and she has a cold temperament when she writes. Compared with You Yu’s elegant handwriting, hers looked unruly. The two fonts were lined up together, and they were very distinct. After finishing writing and pushing back, You Yu smiled again.
After the exam results were posted, You Yu took the first place without any suspense. The red list was posted on the bulletin board, and the first one was her name. In the difficult mid-term exams where all the members encountered Waterloo, she even performed above the level, and her total score was 50 points higher than the second grade, shocking the teachers of the school.
A group of teachers in Class 2 showed a stepmother’s face when they sent out other students’ test papers. They patted the desk and fell into irritability. When they talked about You Yu, they instantly became a loving old mother, pulling her out and boasting.
You Yu was quiet, just listened when she was praised, and didn’t say much. Even if this was the case, some people said that You Yu was proud and complacent and looked down on everyone after a good test.
This was not the first time someone had said this. You Yu didn’t care. What made her happy was that this mid-term exam was really good because her scores in mathematics, physics, and chemistry were full marks, and the teachers decided to give her a bonus.
Two hundred yuan, was not a lot, at least not a lot for other students, but it was a surprise for Yu Yu, who was shy in her pocket.
“The reward is for You Yu. Why are you so happy? I don’t know what you thought was the reward.” Zhao Rongrong glanced at Chi Tang and curled his lips.
Chi Tang’s face fell in an instant, “Which one of your eyes sees me being happy.”
Her bad test papers were still on the table. Whatever she was happy about was nonsense!
Next to her, You Yu looked up at her test paper, Chi Tang keenly pulled up the test paper to cover it.
“Let me tell you the answer.” You Yu said softly.
