Chapter 1279: This Inhuman Speed!
The moment the exam bell rang, the entire room fell silent.
The mid-term exam had officially begun!
Ye Linlang bit the corner of her lips. She was too embarra.s.sed to ask Jiang Qiran for more knowledge. She quickly lowered her head and sat up straight, waiting for the exam papers.
Unlike normal high schools, which usually distributed the exam papers in advance, Ling Yun High School always released the exam papers when the exam bell rang, one by one.
Even though Ye Linlang was anxious, she had no choice but to adapt to the rules of Ling Yun High School. Moreover, Ling Yun High School also said that this was to prepare them for the college entrance exams.
It wasn"t like they didn"t have time to fill out the answer cards and answer papers.
…
The first exam was naturally the Chinese language exam. This was Ye Linlang"s specialty, especially the composition part.
The Chinese teacher had always praised Ye Linlang"s composition for its spiritual quality. If she performed well, she might be able to get a full score on the college entrance examination.
When Ye Linlang heard this evaluation, she was flattered!
No one had ever praised her like this!
In the end, when Ye Linlang was discussing with Jiang Qiran, not only did she not receive any praise, she only remembered the cold glare from the youth sitting next to her.
Ye Linlang did not remember the exact words, but the general meaning was that with Ye Linlang"s ghostly handwriting, it would be difficult for her to enter the category of first-cla.s.s papers, not to mention getting full marks.
When Ye Linlang heard that, she immediately felt worried.
However when she thought about it carefully, what Jiang Qiran said was also very true.
During the college entrance examination, the examiner would at most take two to three minutes to read through an essay. Moreover, it was a three-paragraph sweep. At the beginning and the end of the sweep, if they did not like each paragraph, they might only read the beginning of a sentence. Without good handwriting, who would read the content carefully?!
Therefore, practicing writing was very important!
Ye Linlang thought about how Jiang Qiran not only forced her to do exam papers every day, but also urged her to practice writing. Now that she thought about it, there was a very good reason.
Only when the surface techniques were done well would the other party have the time to dig into your inner self to see if you were particularly spiritual.
Since the examiner had read through tens of thousands of essays during the college entrance examination, one should not think that the examiner would fall in love with them at a glance. It was more likely that they would be like a pearl in the vast sea.
…
Only the answer papers had been distributed. After Ye Linlang finished filling in her name and student number, she felt a little bored. Her mind flew over the few ancient poems and cla.s.sical Chinese that she had recited recently.
Writing from memory was something basic. If she lost her marks here, she would really be ridiculed to death by Jiang Qiran!
Very soon, the exam papers were also distributed. Ye Linlang didn"t look at anything else. She directly turned to the page where she began writing from memory ancient poems and cla.s.sical Chinese.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, Ye Linlang copied it onto the answer sheet.
Phew, her luck was not bad. This time, Ye Linlang had memorized all of the test notes by heart and did not need to draw from unfamiliar chapters.
Ye Linlang did not start from scratch. Instead, she flipped to the essay question.
Something like an essay still needed to be conceived. Now that she thought about it, she might be able to write with divine help when the time came.
When she saw the question, Ye Linlang was stunned.
It was a topic composition and the question was very simple. The main idea was awe. If one had no fear, one would have no faith. It wanted the examinees to talk about their awe. They could write what they were in awe of. They needed to write 800 words, and poetry wasn"t allowed.
Eh…
Wasn"t this question too broad?
If one was in awe, one could be in awe of both heaven and earth. What should she write?
Ye Linlang did not think of any suitable material for the time being, so she simply put it aside and started the multiple choice questions.
…
Time pa.s.sed by minute by minute. After all, it was a subject that Ye Linlang was good at, so she did it very smoothly.
She was only slightly stuck when she was reading the comprehension question. Ye Linlang could not grasp the main point of an essay, so she could only use various cla.s.sical answers to answer a bunch of questions. It was probably very difficult for her to get high marks.
Finally, it was time to write an essay. Ye Linlang felt a headache coming on.
Awe, right? She didn"t seem to have anything to fear since she was young. Was she supposed to write that she was afraid of ghosts?
Confucius had always said to keep a respectful distance from ghosts and G.o.ds. However, Ye Linlang felt that if she wrote the proposition of being afraid of ghosts, she would probably be cla.s.sified as the superst.i.tious type. Forget about getting high marks, she would probably have low marks.
After all, the idea was the most important. If she could not choose something so novel that it would make people"s eyes s.h.i.+ne, she might as well choose something more popular to write.
If she could not write about ghosts and G.o.ds, then what should she write about?
Ye Linlang bit on the pen and could not help but fall into a daze.
She had made a bet with Jiang Qiran in front of the princ.i.p.al and the discipline inspection director, saying that she would get into the top fifty of the grade.
She could not let down Jiang Qiran"s after he had trusted her all along!
Just as Ye Linlang was hesitating, she suddenly saw that Jiang Qiran had already finished writing the first side of the paper!
It can"t be!
This inhuman speed!
Could it be that Jiang Qiran did not need to think before writing?!
Because Ye Linlang was sitting behind Jiang Qiran, she could vaguely see the young man"s vigorous and powerful handwriting. Although she did not know what Jiang Qiran was writing, Jiang Qiran"s handwriting was very beautiful, and it was also very pleasing to the eye from afar.
Just when Ye Linlang was staring straight at the other people"s exam papers, the two invigilators in the exam hall suddenly frowned!
What was the girl sitting in the third seat from the bottom of the first row doing?!
This was a Chinese exam! It wasn"t a math, physics, or chemistry exam!
Even if she wanted to peek, she wouldn"t be able to see any answers!
In order to enforce the exam discipline, the two invigilators exchanged a look and immediately walked over from the back of the podium and the exam hall.
The two of them stood beside Ye Linlang, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were King Kongs!
This time, Ye Linlang was really scared to the point of being dumbfounded!
What kind of situation was this?!
Ye Linlang frowned, not understanding why the two invigilators had taken a "liking" to her at the same time!
She was a well-behaved child.
On the other side, Jiang Qiran seemed not to be affected at all. He moved his pen as fast as lightning, and he had already written to the second page of the ma.n.u.script paper!
He had already written four hundred words?!
Ye Linlang was shocked!
She suddenly began to feel sorry for the students who used to sit behind Jiang Qiran. How provoking it must be!
The two teachers on the side didn"t have any intention of changing their positions, and it was obvious from their expressions that they suspected that she was doing something bad.
Ye Linlang"s heart trembled, and she didn"t dare to peek at Jiang Qiran anymore. She began to obediently bury her head in her writing thoughts.
The two teachers saw that she had become obedient, so they returned to the original situation with one sitting by the podium alone and the other sitting in the back row alone.
Without the two gatekeepers to look after her, Ye Linlang finally had some ideas.
She had always had a unique style of writing. She did not like to write three-paragraph essays with a routine style. Suddenly, she thought of a certain idea that would definitely make the examinees" eyes light up.
Ye Linlang took a deep breath. After she carefully counted the squares, she finally began to write. She put down the composition topic in the middle of the first paragraph…
