39: Chapter 39: Too Easy 39: Chapter 39: Too Easy At 2:40 in the afternoon, Ye Qiu, Li Shen, and Zhu Zhiming came down from the rooftop. Ye Qiu returned to his seat where he had taken the exam. He saw Liu Lingxiu glancing back at him occasionally with a smile on her face. Su Luoluo had arrived at the classroom earlier and naturally saw this scene. She was curious about why Liu Lingxiu could talk normally now, but she didn’t ask Liu Lingxiu because they weren’t familiar with each other. At 2:45 in the afternoon, two proctors from another school walked in with the test papers and answer sheets. Because Ye Qiu’s class was a liberal arts class, the math test in the afternoon was for liberal arts, which was definitely easier compared to the science math test. However, for liberal arts students, the big questions at the back of the test, the ones that could significantly affect scores, were still not easy. The female proctor, like the one in the morning, emphasized the importance of the joint exam and the consequences of cheating. At exactly 3:00 PM, the two proctors began distributing the test papers and answer sheets to the students in the front row of each group. When the test paper was handed to Ye Qiu, he checked it and found no missing questions, then started filling in his name, class, school, etc. If it were the old Ye Qiu, he would have just laid his head on the desk and gone to sleep upon seeing the math test paper, because he didn’t know how to solve any of it. As for the multiple-choice questions, he would have chosen them completely by luck. He wouldn’t have attempted any of the fill-in-the-blank and big questions at all because he simply didn’t know how to solve them. But now, when Ye Qiu took the test paper, he felt a very familiar sensation, a strong urge to complete the test. In the memories he absorbed, there were many top students, so he found these questions extremely easy. Starting from the first multiple-choice question, Ye Qiu completed all the questions, including the ones that could affect scores significantly, in less than forty-five minutes. Moreover, he didn’t need to check his answers again; he knew they were all correct when he finished solving them. As for the big questions at the end, he had several different methods to solve them. However, he chose the easiest method to avoid any grading mistakes by the teachers later. After finishing, Ye Qiu filled in and darkened the circles for multiple-choice questions on the answer sheet. The female proctor on the podium thought Ye Qiu wanted to use the restroom and said, “Young man, if you need to go to the restroom, just go, but don’t stay too long.” “Teacher, I can turn in my paper now!” Ye Qiu said. The female and male proctors on the podium were both surprised to hear this. After all, other students were still busily working on their tests. Even Liu Lingxiu, Su Luoluo, and Zhang Wei, who were among the top students in the class, were still focused on their tests. These students quickly realized that this year’s joint exam math questions were slightly more difficult than last year’s, so their progress was slower. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu wanted to turn in his test now. Other students thought Ye Qiu must have randomly filled in his answers again. The female proctor came down from the podium, looked at Ye Qiu’s test paper and answer sheet, and asked, “You still have more than an hour left, don’t you want to double-check your answers?” “It doesn’t matter if I check or not!” Ye Qiu said. From what the female proctor saw, this young man seemed quite proficient in math because she noticed Ye Qiu had solved most of the big questions correctly. Although she was a high school math teacher from another province, she hadn’t done the questions herself and couldn’t be sure whether Ye Qiu’s answers were entirely correct. The female proctor didn’t say anything more and took Ye Qiu’s test paper and answer sheet back to the podium. Ye Qiu said, “Teacher, can I read a novel?” “As long as you don’t disturb others!” Ye Qiu took out a thick novel about immortal cultivation and started reading. From the perspective of other students, it seemed like this pathetic loser and failing student named Ye Qiu must have had his brain damaged by a car accident, acting all high and mighty! Ye Qiu paid no attention to the other students’ looks and decided to stay and wait for Liu Lingxiu to finish so they could leave together. Around 4:30 in the afternoon, other students gradually started turning in their papers as they realized they couldn’t solve the big and more difficult questions. By 4:50 PM, there were only a few students left, and Su Luoluo, Liu Lingxiu, and Zhang Wei still hadn’t finished. At 5:00 PM, the proctor announced, “Time’s up. Whether you’ve finished or not, turn in your papers.” Liu Lingxiu and the other classmates had no choice but to turn in their papers. “Ye Qiu, let’s go.” Liu Lingxiu said as she walked over. “Let’s head back.” Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu walked out of the classroom. Recalling the questions she had answered, Liu Lingxiu felt she didn’t do very well on the final big questions and the scoring questions. She thought scoring 130 on this math test would already be good enough. But she was very curious why Ye Qiu finished so quickly twice. Even if he was just scribbling answers, he still didn’t need to be that fast. “Did you really just scribble your answers?” “What do you think?” Ye Qiu asked. “I don’t know.” Even though Liu Lingxiu said that, she felt Ye Qiu must have been scribbling. She originally wanted Ye Qiu to win a bet against her, proving he had changed, and she would be willing to kiss him in front of the whole class. But now, she felt like it was all a joke Ye Qiu was playing on her. “You’ll find out soon. I’ll definitely win.” “Sigh!” Liu Lingxiu sighed, still thinking it was impossible. Coming down from the classroom, Ye Qiu went to his bike. Seeing that it was fine, he unlocked it and started pushing it out. At the gate, Ye Qiu prepared to ride and take Liu Lingxiu home. “I, I don’t want to go back just yet.” Liu Lingxiu said. “Where do you want to go?” “I want to drink bubble tea.” Ye Qiu rode towards the nearby bubble tea shop near Jiangbei No. 3 Middle School. Once they reached the entrance, he parked the bike outside, and they went into the shop. Inside, they each ordered a cup of bubble tea. Yesterday, Ye Qiu wanted to return the 200 yuan to Liu Lingxiu, but she refused. Liu Lingxiu received a weekly allowance of 20 yuan and had saved enough graduation money from relatives and friends to cover her four years’ university tuition. After finishing their bubble tea, it was already 5:30 PM. Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu left the shop, and Ye Qiu rode her back to her home. This time, when Liu Lingxiu’s parents invited Ye Qiu to stay for dinner, he declined and left after saying goodbye to Liu Lingxiu. After all, it was one thing for Ye Qiu to occasionally eat at Liu Lingxiu’s house. If he did it every day, her parents might not say anything, but they probably wouldn’t feel the same inside.
