The regular test paper for the Jin Cup competition has 10 questions in total, 3 times that is 30. The number of questions is huge and the difficulty must be high, Lin Chaoxi is very clear about it.
As soon as she put her bag down, she rushed upstairs with all her might, taking two steps at a time, leaving the others far behind.
——
The top floor of the teaching building, the examination room for the junior high school group.
Lin Chaoxi ran to the door panting. There was another female teacher in the classroom playing with her phone on the podium. Seeing that she didn't bring anything, the teacher looked at her in surprise.
Lin Chaoxi leaned against the door, breathing heavily, checked the seating chart at the door, found the seat with his name on it, and walked into the classroom and sat down.
The single desk was by the window, with draft paper, a pencil and an eraser on it, but no test paper.
Lin Chaoxi immediately raised his hand: "Teacher, I'm here, can I hand out the test papers?"
The female teacher was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, took out a knife, and began to open the test papers.
The wind from the rooftop blows through the hall, bringing with it the moisture from the lake and the scent of green grass from the fields.
Before going upstairs, Lin Chaoxi heard Zhang Liang and his gang muttering behind him.
Basically it means Pei Zhi is showing off, but don't worry about him, he is the one who will be eliminated anyway.
Some kind-hearted students also advised Pei Zhi that they could take the things up together and put them down if they really didn't need them. It would be okay if they were thrown away.
Lin Chaoxi could no longer hear what they said afterwards. She didn't know how Pei Zhi would deal with these problems, but it didn't matter because Pei Zhi probably didn't care about it.
The teacher put the test paper on her desk.
One, two, three...it's indeed three.
The wind made the test papers rustle.
Lin Chaoxi flipped through the test papers one by one. This time the test paper was completely based on the Jinbei question format, so the problem was still time.
She looked up at the clock.
It is now 11:15, and Pei Zhi said it will take 10 minutes, which means she must finish the test within 35 minutes.
On average, it takes 10 minutes to complete each test paper, leaving a few minutes for checking and leaving time for going downstairs.
But now there are three times as many questions, and Lin Chaoxi decided that he had to go even faster.
She picked up the pen, and at this time, Lu Zhihao and Huajuan also arrived.
When they rushed into the classroom, Xiaolu was still worried and asked, "Is Pei Zhizhen okay?"
"It's okay, I can finish 30 times, you pervert!" Huajuan said as he ran to his seat, raised his hand and shouted, "Teacher, pass out the papers."
30 times may not work, but 3 times is probably fine. Lin Zhaoxi thought silently.
Pei Zhi is confident, but what moved Lin Chaoxi even more was his trust. Pei Zhi entrusted his future in the summer camp and the Jin Cup to her, and this trust was precious.
Lin Chaoxi spun his pencil around and began to concentrate on the questions.
The test questions were roughly the same as she had judged, with a moderate level of difficulty, but each test paper had a key question.
She then quickly went through the test paper, roughly determined the difficulty of each question, marked them, gave up the most difficult questions, and focused on the remaining easy questions.
This is an exam strategy that involves giving up on difficult questions that require a lot of time to answer and grabbing all the points on easy questions.
As long as not everyone in the class gets full marks, there should be no problem as long as no one is eliminated.
——
The other children ran into the classroom one after another. No one was carrying heavy luggage and everyone was traveling light.
Jie Ran came in last.
The female teacher hurried over and asked him quietly, "What's going on?"
Xie Ran then took her to the window, pointed downstairs, and whispered a few words in her ear.
After they looked downstairs, they came to see her again.
Lin Chaoxi could clearly feel two pairs of eyes moving above her head, looking at her and talking in a low voice.
Stay calm and do the test, it's just an ordinary test.
Lin Chaoxi reminded himself that it was the same for you as it was for Pei Zhidu, whatever the invigilator said had nothing to do with you.
She continued to look down.
It was a vertical number puzzle. Four Chinese characters appeared in an addition vertical puzzle, and the question asked what number "I love Jinbei" represents.
To save time, she solved the basic questions directly on the test paper and wrote down the answers quickly.
Next up is graphics computing…
The tip of the pen fell on the paper, and she was about to write when the table was pushed suddenly.
The pencil drew a long line on the paper. Lin Chaoxi looked up and found that the person who pushed his desk was Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang sat down in front of her.
Lin Chaoxi even heard Zhang Liang sneer, as if he was laughing at their unreasonable and presumptuous choice.
Lin Chaoxi pulled the desk back to keep some distance from Zhang Liang.
People are really different from each other, and this has been the case since childhood.
The first one, the second one... She did not look up at the time again, and pretended that Zhang Liang did not exist. Her world was filled with mechanical and rapid calculations.
All the questions become a combination of numbers after reading, and the world is very simple and pure.
She kept working, looking at the next question, calculating, turning the paper over, and continuing to do the questions.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but she kept calculating at a steady pace, without getting impatient or stuck. Everything around her disappeared, leaving only the electric fan above her head spinning rapidly.
The tip of her pen landed on the last question. After filling in the last blank, she immediately turned the test paper to the first page and either substituted the answer into the answer sheet for verification or found another way to verify it. She quickly went through the test paper again. She immediately stood up, took the test paper and walked to the podium. The time was exactly 11:38, and she still reserved two minutes to go downstairs.
"Finished?" Xie Ran stood in front of the podium. His skin was dark, but his eyes were bright, especially when he was shocked.
"Um."
Xie Ran flipped through the papers, pointed out three fill-in-the-blank questions on three papers, and reminded her: "You still have three questions to do."
"It's too late." Lin Zhaoxi said bluntly. She walked straight to the door, remembered something, turned around and said to Jie Ran, "You have to accompany me downstairs to prove that I have not had any communication with him on the topic."
Xie Ran looked at her with a look that said, "How can you elementary school students be so cunning?" But she put down her test paper and said, "Then let's go."
——
As they left, there was a small commotion in the classroom behind them. Lin Chaoxi put his hands in his pockets, ignored them, and ran downstairs calmly.
Xie Ran followed her down two floors and finally couldn't help muttering.
"What's this? You're sacrificing yourself for others? You should know that if you leave three questions blank, you might be eliminated!"
"will not."
"Why!" Jie Ran grabbed her.
"Because everything else is right, teacher." Lin Chaoxi said, turning his head.
"Fuck, you guys are still elementary school students!" Xie Ran yelled, "How can you be so confident!"
"I'm fine. I'm confident down there." She pointed to her feet.
When you consider that the person downstairs might need to spend half the time to finish the same amount of questions, her performance is really nothing.
downstairs.
Pei Zhi was sitting on the steps in front of the teaching building, his duckbill cap pulled down low. His back looked very peaceful, as if he was bored and just wanted to take a nap with his eyes closed.
In front of him was a pile of luggage of various colors, backpacks, suitcases, etc. In short, it was piled up everywhere, even a bit like a messy garbage dump.
The background was complex in color, with a large pond and forest in the distance. Hearing their footsteps, the little boy on the steps patted his trousers, stood up, and finally turned back.
Lin Chaoxi waved to Pei Zhi, who just nodded, walked towards her with his simple backpack on his back, and naturally went upstairs.
Pei Zhi didn't say anything, but Lin Chaoxi felt relieved.
"Hey!" Xie Ran's eyes fell on Pei Zhi's extremely light black backpack and he stopped him. "You are carrying such light things, why do you want to stay and help others look after things? Are all primary school students so heroic now?"
Pei Zhi looked up at the narrow corridor, then turned back and scanned the suitcases with a clear and calm gaze. He only said, "I think these suitcases are too heavy and may not be safe."
Lin Chaoxi was a little dazed. This was the deepest reason why she was willing to take the exam with Pei Zhi. Because she also felt that it would be very tiring for the child to carry the luggage upstairs, and there might be some safety risks.
But she subconsciously thought that it would be inappropriate and awkward for a child to say these things, but this reason was now stated by Pei Zhi in a natural tone, and it was surprisingly justified.
Pei Zhi continued to climb the stairs and did not turn back no matter how Jie Ran called him.
Lin Chaoxi watched him walk up and into the darker corridor, and always felt that Xiao Peizhi's current figure seemed to overlap with a scene many years later.
At that time, the older Pei Zhigang patiently explained the topic to many people and left the classroom.
She looked at him from afar across the corridor and saw large patches of white chalk dust on Pei Zhi's body. At that moment, she recognized him clearly for the first time: Pei Zhi, who was serious, focused, and determined to do what he had to do.
It is desirable, yet also extremely regrettable.
And now, she looked at Pei Zhi's handsome back when he was a teenager and could only sigh, "Alas, you are so young..."
Just as she was sighing silently, Pei Zhi suddenly stopped on the corner platform between the first and second floors, turned around, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"What's your name?" Pei Zhi asked.
"Me?" Lin Chaoxi pointed at herself, feeling proud and slightly disappointed. How come Pei Zhi still didn't know her name after so long?
Pei Zhi shook his head and shifted his gaze towards Jie Ran.
Xie Ran was also stunned. Being asked this by a child, he felt as if he was being called out by a big shot.
"Yes." He answered subconsciously.
"I understand." Pei Zhi nodded, retracted his gaze, and continued walking upstairs.
"Why did he ask for my name and say 'I know'?" Xie Ran was also confused for a moment, showing his fangs and muttering to himself, "I hope he won't beat me up in the middle of the night."
"Probably not." Lin Zhaoxi looked at him, and you are obviously a college student...
On the stairs, Pei Zhi went up slowly and his figure disappeared around the corner.
Lin Chaoxi suddenly felt that Pei Zhi might have deliberately frightened the teacher. It was really cute that he held a grudge.
But do you really know my name?
She thought.
