115 Difficult Sisters
Monday morning.
Gu Man rushed to school early in the morning. Today was the second mock examination for Year Three.
The mock examination this time was led by the Education Bureau. The entire Han City’s Year Three cohort was in the mock examination. The invigilators were drawn from the entire Han City. It could be seen how important this examination was.
As soon as Gu Man sat down in the cla.s.sroom, Xiao Xiao leaned over and said miserably, “I’m dead for this mock exam. I didn’t revise well.”
Gu Man thought for a moment and finally comforted her. “Just do your best.”
Xiao Xiao’s tone became more optimistic. She asked Gu Man, “You’ll accompany me, right? Last time, you were the last, and I was the second last. We’re like sisters. It’s fate that we’re together.”
“It depends on fate.”
With that, Gu Man started to pack up the items she needed for the exam.
She looked at the clock above the cla.s.sroom blackboard. It was almost time. The exam stipulated that she had to wait for the exam in the cla.s.sroom half an hour earlier.
Xiao Xiao smiled and asked, “Gu Man, which cla.s.sroom are you a.s.signed to?”
“Cla.s.s One.”
“Cla.s.s One?” Shaw stuck out his tongue and shrugged. “How terrifying!”
Seeing that Gu Man did not agree with her at all, Xiao Xiao asked with a strange smile, “Aren’t you afraid of those people from Cla.s.s One? They’re so arrogant just because they’re good at their studies.”
“It’s fine.”
Gu Man replied calmly. She checked the stationery in the transparent plastic exam bag again to make sure that she had not missed anything.
“I was a.s.signed to Cla.s.s One for the exam last time. As someone who has been there before, I advise you to go later. If you go early, you’ll have to wait outside the cla.s.sroom. Those people always don’t leave the cla.s.sroom and make others wait anxiously. They slowly give up their seats. They’re too domineering.”
“Mm.”
As Gu Man spoke, she walked out of the cla.s.sroom. There were already students from other cla.s.ses waiting in the corridor outside Cla.s.s Ten. When those people saw Gu Man, they gathered together and whispered.
Some people even deliberately said it loudly so that others could hear them.
“I heard that she wants to go to Zhong Chu University.”
The people around them laughed as if they had heard a joke.
Gu Man did not even look at those people and walked straight over.
Immediately, some students disliked her.
“Look at her. She’s just like Teacher Zhuang. She’s as proud as a peac.o.c.k. Tsk, who does she think she is?!”
“She’s from Cla.s.s Ten, yet she’s still so arrogant. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that she was from Cla.s.s One.”
…
Gu Man could not hear the boring gossip until she was far away.
However, after going up two floors and walking to Cla.s.s One’s cla.s.sroom, she realized that this was the bigger gossip arena.
It turned out that it was just as Xiao Xiao had said. The people from Cla.s.s One did not move at all. Those who were coming for the examination could only wait outside the corridor.
With more people, there would be more trouble. A “celebrity” like Gu Man was the best candidate to talk about.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Man appeared, everyone looked over.
“Look, that’s Gu Man.”
“Wow, I finally saw her in person. She’s even prettier than in that video. Look at that face. She’s really prettier than a celebrity.”
“I really want to be as thin as her. She looks so fashionable in her school uniform.”
“What’s the use of looking good? Her results are all at the bottom. She has a bad temper and hits people whenever she wants.”
…
Gu Man glanced at them indifferently and walked into the cla.s.sroom without saying anything.
The people who were still in the cla.s.sroom were very surprised that someone dared to enter the cla.s.sroom before they left. Hence, everyone who was chatting and laughing looked up.
“Who are you? Can’t you see that we’re not out yet? Go out and wait in the corridor,” someone shouted.
“Is it Gu Man?” Someone said uncertainly.
Someone immediately asked that person, “Han Yi, do you know her?”
“I don’t really know her. The last time I saw her in the dining hall, she twisted a female cla.s.smate’s hand. I heard it from the person beside me.”
Han Yi turned to look at Wei Wei and saw her nod.
Wei Wei thought to herself, Of course she remembered her. Someone even used Gu Man to compete against her as the school belle.
When the students waiting in the corridor outside saw Gu Man walk into the cla.s.sroom, some of them gloated, while others were worried for her.
“The exam rules state that the venue has to be cleared half an hour before the exam. It’s time now,” Gu Man said coldly.
“What are you talking about? We can leave whenever we want. Besides, no matter how anxious you are, your results are still the worst in the grade,” someone said with a laugh.
