Chapter 364: Chapter 194: Take Li Zhi to Stay Overnight
Of course, they really just wanted to see the awkward look on Ah Jie’s face as he sat behind Zhuo Peipei.
This was the kind of simple pleasure dumbass high school boys lived for.
The students on duty were responsible for cleaning the classroom, while the job of setting up the exam halls throughout the academic building would be left to the first and second-year students.
What could you do? They were the ones getting a day off early because of this joint exam.
A holiday starting Wednesday afternoon—the very thought was bliss.
Of course, the joy was short-lived. They had to come back on Sunday to move their desks back into place, and then begin their own midterm exams.
There was no real happiness, just a delay of the inevitable misery of midterms.
As for the third-years, there was even less joy to be had.
An endless sea of test papers and a never-ending stream of exams.
"The exam seating arrangements have been distributed, so make a note of your seat. The admission tickets will be handed out before the exam tomorrow. Class monitor, remember to come to me to pick them up. After each subject is tested, all the admission tickets must be collected."
Old Zhou looked at Xu Ziqiong. After she nodded, he continued, "Do not lose your admission tickets. It may just be a piece of paper for formality’s sake, but if you lose it, then sorry, you can just go straight home and take a break."
He had barely finished speaking when a voice suddenly piped up from a corner, "Old Zhou, you don’t trust us! Just give the admission tickets to me, I guarantee I won’t lose them!"
The voice was like a stone tossed into a still pond, instantly causing a small commotion and a few stifles of quiet laughter.
Old Zhou glanced toward the sound, pinpointing its source, and scoffed irritably. "Hmph. Settle down, all of you. I know you’re tired."
"After the exams are over, you’ll get a two-day break on Saturday and Sunday! So don’t any of you try to back out on me now! Just get through these exams! Finish them, and I’ll give you two days off!!"
Hearing Old Zhou mention a two-day break, the faces of everyone in Class 15 lit up with surprise and delight.
"For real, Old Zhou? Two whole days?!"
"Holy shit? The kind where we don’t have class on Saturday morning?"
"Like the one the first and second-years are getting?"
Listening to the barrage of questions from the students, Old Zhou nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes, just like the one the first and second-years are getting. No classes Saturday morning. Your break starts after your last exam on Friday, and you don’t have to be back until the evening self-study session on Sunday!"
The moment he finished speaking, the classroom erupted in cheers.
Someone belted out at the top of their lungs:
"Old Zhou, I love you!"
That shout was like a match to a powder keg, sending the entire class into peals of laughter as more students joined in the chorus.
"Old Zhou, I love you!"
"We freaking love you, Old Zhou!"
Old Zhou rolled his eyes at the students. "Get outta here, all of you! Go study! And you’d better do well on your exams tomorrow!"
Amid the cheers and laughter, Shen Yuan turned to Li Zhi and asked tentatively, "We’re getting two days off, you know. Any thoughts about going out?"
Shen Yuan had barely finished speaking when Li Zhi shot him an exasperated look. "The exams are tomorrow. How can your mind be wandering already?"
Instead of backing down, Shen Yuan just scooted closer with a cheeky grin and lowered his voice. "C’mon, Li Bao, give me some motivation for the exams. Reward me by hanging out with me for a day after they’re over. Deal?"
Li Zhi shot him a sidelong glance and said curtly, "I’m broke."
Shen Yuan chuckled. "That’s fine. I have money."
At that, Li Zhi gave Shen Yuan a light smack on the head. "If you keep pestering me, I’m really not going to agree."
The cheeky grin on Shen Yuan’s face instantly froze.
The next second, as if a switch had been flipped, he shot upright, whipped his head toward his desk, and swiftly pulled out a workbook and pen.
"Studying, studying... I’m studying right now!"
The sight of him caving so instantly almost made Li Zhi, who had been keeping a straight face, break into a smile.
However, even as Shen Yuan buried his head in his workbook, pretending to be exceptionally serious, he couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth from curving up whenever his head was down.
The irrepressible smile was plain as day on his face.
