Chapter 294 Quiz

The students' goodwill towards the history teacher vanished completely.

Yu Xin mentioned in a class meeting during last night's self-study session that even if a student in the top class fails a small quiz, it's still considered a failure.

If he finds out, I will also face punishment.

It's not really a punishment.

Those who frequently fail or score below average are responsible for tasks such as carrying water and sweeping the floor in the classroom.

It's not a big deal, but it takes a lot of time.

But that was enough to rouse these good students.

The history teacher tapped the test papers on the podium and divided them into six copies: "Students in the first row, please come up and take these papers and pass them on to the back."

The history teacher seemed to have entered the classroom right on time.

As he handed out the test papers, the class bell rang simultaneously.

Except for Jin Ping'an, all the students in the class were racing against time to finish their test papers.

The exam paper had very few multiple-choice questions, only five in total, and these five were all common sense questions that were easy points.

The rest were all fill-in-the-blank and analysis questions.

Moreover, just as the history teacher said, the fill-in-the-blank questions were basically the same questions asked in the previous lesson.

If you listen carefully to the questions, getting a passing grade shouldn't be a problem.

This test was probably designed by the history teacher to screen out those who don't pay attention in class.

Ai Liang looked up and happened to see the history teacher raising an eyebrow at her.

It was as if it meant: Now you regret not paying attention in class.

Ai Liang ignored him and lowered her head to start answering the questions.

………………

The history exam requires writing far more words than the math exam.

But thanks to Ai Liang's incredible speed, she finished the entire exam paper in less than fifteen minutes.

He pushed the exam paper aside and took out a novel to read.

Anyway, the history teacher said that open-book exams were allowed, so reading the book didn't violate any exam rules.

There were many students flipping through their notes in the classroom.

The history teacher, propping his head up while proctoring the exam, paid no attention to Ai Liang's actions.

Ten minutes passed, and Ai Liang was still reading, which aroused his suspicion.

The history teacher stepped down from the podium and began to patrol the classroom.

When he circled around and came to Ai Liang's side, he found that the guy was actually reading a novel.

He couldn't help but frown and tapped Ai Liang's desk corner as a warning.

Ai Liang didn't say anything, but handed the completed test paper to him.

The history teacher took the test paper with a suspicious look on his face, but his expression quickly froze.

The history teacher typed out the test paper on the computer, question by question, so the answers were naturally memorized.

He glanced at it briefly and found that all the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions were correct, so he quickly flipped to the character background analysis at the back.

As it turned out, Ai Liang's answer was exactly the same as what he had said in the previous class.

The history teacher slowly suppressed his surprise, handed the test paper back to Ai Liang, and then patted him hard on the shoulder.

After doing all this, he returned to his seat on the podium and stopped paying attention to Ai Liang.

There is no intention to criticize the act of reading novels during exams.

Not long after, Ye Qing, who was behind Ai Liang, also finished the test.

Having no novels to pass the time, she took advantage of the teacher's inattention to wrap the headphone cord around her arm.

Then, place the earphones in your palm, make a gesture of supporting your head with one hand, and secretly listen to music.

It's a pity it's not winter now.

In winter, you can put your phone in an inside pocket of your clothes and tuck the earphone cord into your sleeve for better concealment.

Alternatively, you can use Bluetooth headphones.

The important thing is to be careful not to let someone else disconnect your Bluetooth connection, otherwise... those who know, know.

Overall, I would still recommend wired headphones.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

………………

With about ten minutes left before school ended, the history teacher started collecting the papers.

Compared to the agonizing experience of answering questions, handing in the paper felt as easy as having diarrhea.

With a wave of his hand, the history teacher signaled that school was over early.

The students in the class began to gather in twos and threes and head towards the door.

Ai Liang noticed that Jin Ping'an didn't come to see her today. Instead, he grabbed Cheng Lejia and rushed to the gate as soon as school was over, heading straight for the cafeteria.

It is really rare.

But this is fine too, Ai Liang is happy to be alone and have some peace and quiet.

That's how it was.

"Um, Ai Liang, right?"

Just as Ai Liang closed the novel, a voice came from beside her.

Ai Liang turned to her deskmate and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I saw you finish your quiz in just over ten minutes, and the math test this morning too. That's amazing."

Chen Zili immediately launched into a tirade of praise.

Ai Liang looked at him with some confusion: "You called me over, is this what you wanted to say?"

Chen Zili: "..."

Good heavens, it's so difficult to communicate with this person!
Chen Zili quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that Fang Xinlei is the number one in our city? Why is your name listed before hers?"

He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that you two have the same score and are tied for first place?"

"I am from Nevada."

Chen Zili: "..."

Ai Liang: "..."

"So what exactly do you want from me?" Ai Liang continued to press, her face expressionless.

His appearance put immense psychological pressure on Chen Zili.

Chen Zili swallowed hard, hesitated for a long time before finally revealing his true thoughts: "Okay, actually, the reason I started talking to you was to invite you to have lunch in the cafeteria together."

Ai Liang couldn't understand what kind of inexplicable reason this was.

He used his senses to capture the gazes of all the students in the classroom.

Ai Liang was surprised to find that no one was looking at Chen Zili.

Logically speaking, since it's the beginning of the semester and everyone in this top class is busy studying, there shouldn't be any bullying or anything like that.

Moreover, since everyone is a boarding student, there should be some overlap between them.

Judging from Chen Zili's appearance, he doesn't seem like an introverted person.

It's impossible to not even find someone to eat with, right?

"Are you a day student?" Ai Liang asked.

"No, I live on campus," Chen Zili replied.

"And what about your roommate?"

"My roommate is Peng Yuan, but he hasn't arrived yet, so I'm the only one in the dorm..."

Chen Zili awkwardly touched his buzz cut: "And because of a problem with the dormitory assignments, I'm living in the girls' dormitory building, and there are no classmates around..."

I was planning to chat with you last week, but you took two days off...

"Plus, there are girls to my right and behind me, and I'm not really comfortable talking to girls..."

As he spoke, Chen Zili began to question the meaning of life.

Ai Liang stared at him speechlessly: "...No wonder no one in the class knows you well."

Chen Zili said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Yeah, this is just too unlucky."

Ai Liang took out her phone and glanced at the time: "Let's go to the cafeteria first, otherwise we'll have to wait in line if there are too many people."

"Let's go to Tianyuan Restaurant then! There's a window with amazing shredded pork with garlic sauce that's always sold out shortly after school ends!"

Chen Zili immediately began recommending the cafeteria's dishes to Ai Liang.
