Chapter 1007 - An Uncalm Day
Ye Jian placed her hands on AnJiaxin’s cheeks and teased her, “It’s too late even if you think that you’ll get bad grades this time. But, if you don’t score well, Uncle and Aunt will think that it’s normal. On the other hand, they might find it abnormal when you score well.”
“That’s right. Hahaha. I didn’t have a good sleep yesterday night. I kept dreaming. I dreamt that I was looking for my pen during the exam and woke up in fright.” An Jiaxin was a casual person so she immediately felt at ease after Ye Jian’s comforting. She hurriedly said, “Let me check if I brought my pen. It’ll be bad if I didn’t bring it…”
She opened her pencil case and took a look… The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, “…I really didn’t bring my pen!”
“Not bad, you really have a big heart. You won’t have a problem with your exam. There’s still 15 minutes. You can go back and look for your pen.” Ye Jian looked at the time and reminded An Jiaxin slowly, “I’ll give you 7 minutes and 30 seconds. That’s enough time.”
An Jiaxin ran off immediately. She didn’t dare to waste any more time.
She didn’t bring her pen for an exam. How big must her heart be?
Five minutes before the exam started, An Jiaxin rushed back to the classroom while panting heavily. She didn’t return to her seat. Instead, she ran towards Ye Jian and spoke while breathing rapidly, “I thought that I was the only person who forgot to bring my pen. Yao Jing didn’t bring her pen too. I met her when I was going up the stairs. She stopped me and spoke to me for a while. If not, I could have come back two minutes ago.”
Yao Jing. Ye Jian felt that she hadn’t heard this name for a long time. Ye Jian realized that she hadn’t heard Yao Jing’s afternoon and evening broadcasts these few days.
“Don’t think others are like you. Maybe she just walked slower than other people. Hurry up and go back to your seat. The exam is starting.” Ye Jian didn’t have much interest in talking about Yao Jing so she asked An Jiaxin to go back to her seat and prepare for the exam.
In the morning, from 8 am to 10 am, all the different grades would be having their mathematics exam. The exam script was given three minutes before the start of the exam. When the school bell rang, the entire school turned quiet. You could hear the rustling of the leaves as the wind blew past them.
The teachers of the school had heard that Ye Jian always completed her script very quickly.
During the mid-term exam, the teachers of the different classes went to one another’s classes to be invigilators. The two invigilators took turns standing in front of Ye Jian to observe her. When she was doing the fill-in-the-blanks questions, the teacher at the side was dumbfounded.
…She didn’t even need to use the rough paper. She just wrote her answers directly!
When other people finished one question, she had already completed three to four questions! Based on this speed, she would be able to finish the script within one hour. Mind you, the exam was two hours!
The teacher wiped her face after standing there for ten minutes… It’s time to leave. Standing in front of such a student, this teacher felt a little tormented. The pressure was huge!
The other teacher reacted similarly. After standing there for around ten minutes, the teacher walked away silently.
The pressure wasn’t normal at all. As a teacher, he couldn’t finish the script faster than a student. When he saw the question, he still needed to write on his palm. However, the student just took her pen directly and wrote steadily from the top to the bottom. She… used mental calculation the entire way. She didn’t need to use the rough paper!
Ye Jian’s mental calculation was always impressive. If not, she wouldn’t have won the gold medal during the Science Olympiad.
Around 9.10 am, Ye Jian had already closed her exam script. She prepared to hand over the script and leave the room. Outside, the two unfamiliar teachers nodded their heads secretly. They had been taking special notice of Ye Jian all this while. They said to Principal Cao, “Principal Cao, after her mid-term results come out, please take special notice of it.”
“There’s no need to hurry. There are still three days of exam. You can take a look at other students.” Principal Cao, who was accompanying the two teachers, replied to them ambiguously. There was no need for these two recruitment teachers to take note of Ye Jian. Once her results come out, all schools would be fighting for her. However, Old Chen had already reminded him that the National Science University and the National Arts University weren’t Ye Jian’s choice.
