Chapter 45: Their Invigilator is Luo Songhua
A day before the exam, Meng Jinyang prepared a 2B pencil, a medium point pen, and a ruler for Gu Mang.
When she woke up in the morning, she went through them again to make sure nothing was missing.
After washing up, she woke Gu Mang.
Gu Mang jumped to open her curtains as she held the safety grill with a pale, beautiful hand.
The girls in the dormitory, who were brushing their teeth, were stunned.
Gu Mang was extremely good-looking. Her sleepy eyes were slightly red and there was an assertive look to them.
She dusted her hands and squeezed Meng Jinyang’s soft cheek expressionlessly. While Meng Jinyang was stunned, she entered the washroom indifferently.
The rest of the girls had finished preparing and left the dormitory first. In the end, there was only Gu Mang, Meng Jinyang, and Shen Huan left.
At 7:20 A.M., the trio left the hostel.
The Year Ones were on break over the weekend while the Year Twos were having their morning reading.
Only Year Three students were seen walking around. Everyone was discussing the bet between Class One and Class Twenty.
“Class Twenty is going to lose for sure. Even if Class One became Class Twenty, the people from Class Twenty can never scale the mountain that is Class One!”
“There’s no doubt about that. Class One is sure to win. There’s nothing to discuss. The results were long decided.”
“That’s right. We only have to sit and wait to see Class Twenty humiliated.”
Shen Huan almost died from anger. However, her results were not as good as other people’s When the students of Class One passed Gu Mang and her company, they cast sidelong glances at them and scoffed.
Shen Huan furrowed her eyebrows, staring daggers. However, seeing that Gu Mang and Meng Jinyang walked on indifferently, she swallowed her fury and followed.
Gu Mang was wearing a black peaked cap and had her hands in her pockets. Her eyelids were lowered and her eyes were cold.
Meng Jinyang said softly, “Don’t be angry. We just have to do our best.”
This produced a withering effect on Shen Huan. “I did a set of questions yesterday and only managed to scrape by. How can I compete with Class One with results like that?”
Meng Jinyang smiled gently. “Do your best.”
Shen Huan grimaced bitterly.
…
Before the exam, Xi Yan spoke with Gu Mang privately.
Observing the languid and carefree girl in front of her, Xi Yan felt herself admiring Gu Mang’s calm. In a gentle voice, she said, “Gu Mang, don’t fall asleep during the exam. Do the questions properly.”
Gu Mang was attentive in class and handed in her homework on time.
Even though her handwriting was ugly, she at least did it.
So long as she finished the exam, her results shouldn’t be too bad, even if it couldn’t be considered good. Gu Mang’s face was devoid of expression, her eyes slightly bloodshot. She muttered assent.
Xi Yan patted her arm. “Don’t be scared, just do your best. With me around, Luo Songhua won’t go overboard and we’ll at most feel some shame.”
Gu Mang looked up and stared at the patient Xi Yan. After a long while, she replied, “Got it.”
Xi Yan breathed in deeply to calm herself. “Alright, go back to the classroom. All the best for the exam.”
…
The exam venue was allocated according to each student’s academic ranking. 90 percent of the last two venues contained mostly students from Class Twenty.
Luo Songhua walked into the exam venue holding the examination papers.
Lu Yang frowned. “What the h*ll! Why is the proctor that old witch! Wasn’t Class Nine’s form teacher supposed to be proctoring?”
Fatty stared at Luo Songhua with disdain. Not daring to move his lips too much, he mumbled, “We’re dead. We can’t can’t cheat now. Brother Yang, what do we do?”
Lu Yang’s face was dark.
