Chapter 1007: Not A Calm Day
It made Ye Jian1 grab her face and teased her with a severe look: “It’s too late to think you’ll get bad grades. If you didn’t do well in the exams, uncle and aunty would think it’s normal. If you did do well, I believe they’ll think it’s unusual.”
“You’re right, hahaha. I didn’t sleep well last night; I was dreaming the whole night. I dreamt that I was looking for my pen everywhere and woke up scared.” An Jiaxin, who was usually very careless, started relaxing after being consoled by Ye Jian. She hurriedly continued: “Please don’t tell me I didn’t bring a pen, let me take a look…”
Opening her pencil case…, with the corners of her mouth twitching, An Jiaxin said: “…I really didn’t bring a pen!”
“Not bad, with a relaxed mind like this, you’ll definitely have no problems in the exam. There are still fifteen more minutes, and you can go back and find your pen.” Ye Jian glanced at the time and reminded her slowly, “I’ll give you seven and a half minutes, you’ll have plenty of time.”
An Jiaxin pulled her legs and ran; she didn’t dare to dawdle for a moment longer.
Forgetting to bring pens to exams, being so relaxed like she was already one of a kind.
When there were still five minutes left before the exam started, An Jiaxin ran back to the classroom while panting. Instead of running to her seat, she ran to where Ye Jian was, and while panting, she said: “I thought I was the only one who didn’t bring a pen, that Yao Jing was the same. I saw her when I was going upstairs, and she dragged me away and told me something. Otherwise, I would’ve been in class two minutes ago.”
Yao Jing, a name that she hadn’t heard in a long time, made Ye Jian realize that she hadn’t heard her voice in the noon and evening broadcasts these past few days.
“Don’t think she’s like you, forgetting to bring a pen, maybe she’s just a slow walker. Hurry up to your seat; the exam is starting soon.” About Yao Jing, Ye Jian wasn’t interested in mentioning her, so she motioned An Jiaxin to return to her seat and prepare for the exam.
The first exam in the morning, from 8 o’clock until 10 o’clock, was Mathematics for Grade 10 to Grade 12 students. The paper was handed out three minutes beforehand, and the moment the bell rang, the whole school was plunged into silence. Even the rustling of leaves being blown in the wind could be heard outside.
Ye Jian was famous for solving problems quickly, even the teachers of other classes had heard rumors about it.
During this midterm exam, the teachers of each class exchanged places to invigilate the exam. Two invigilating teachers took turns to watch Ye Jian write her exam, and when she was solving the multiple-choice questions, the teacher who was watching her looked stunned.
… She didn’t even use draft paper and just went on and on!
When the other students were still working on the first question, she’d already finished three or four of them! With that kind of speed, she’ll finish the two-hour paper in under an hour!
After standing for upwards of ten minutes, the teacher rubbed his chin… and walked away. Standing in front of a student like this, even a teacher would feel their heart tormented, so stressful!
The other teacher was more or less the same. After standing beside her for around ten minutes, he walked away quietly.
The stress was inordinately large; the teacher couldn’t solve problems as quickly as the student. When he saw the problem, he’d still have to write in the palm of his hand, but the student just picked up her pen and finished writing her solution like splashing ink from head to toe. The whole process… the mental calculation, there wasn’t any draft process!
Ye Jian’s mental calculation had always been impressive, how else would she have been able to get a gold medal in the Olympiads?
Around 9:10 am, Ye Jian had already finished her test and prepared to hand it in and leave. Outside, the two unfamiliar teachers who came by to take a look at Ye Jian couldn’t help but nod their heads from the sight. They turned to Principal Cao: “Principal Cao, when her midterm marks come out, we’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on them for us.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, there are still three more days for exams, you two can still pay attention to other students.” Principal Cao, who was accompanying two directly recruiting teachers from GuangXi University, started playing Tai Chi with them. Ye Jian didn’t need the admissioning teachers’ attention. When her results come out, all the schools would be fighting over her. Still, Old Chen had already told him this beforehand, neither HuaQiao University nor GuangXi University would become Ye Jian’s choices.
