In the examination room of Grade 9 (13), Lin Chaoxi supported his head and waited for the exam to begin.
Her deskmate was lying completely on the table, with his upper body covering the entire surface. His breathing was heavy and he seemed to be fast asleep.
The whole classroom was similarly lazy. So when Teacher Ma walked into their class in her high heels, the look in her eyes, which was very restrained but clearly showed that she disliked them, was understandable.
"What does it look like if you didn't hear the emergency bell?"
The scolding suddenly rang out, and the sleepy students all started in unison.
"Teacher, why did you come to our class without any warning?" Zheng Matt also raised his head suddenly and shouted with a smile.
"Switch the proctors, smile and let's see how many points you can get."
Ma Pingping threw down the test paper and walked downstairs. Lin Chaoxi saw her stop in front of her desk, clenched her fingers, and knocked on the table three times.
"Wake up, is your dream done?"
The game fanatic jumped up and looked around with a vigilant look.
Ma Pingping turned and left. Lei returned to the podium in a stern voice: "Sleeping? Other students have fought hard to get the exam opportunity, and you guys are just wasting it like this?"
"It's not something we want to take the exam." An Xiaoxiao complained in a low voice in the back row.
"Yeah, you don't want to take the high school entrance exam, and don't take the college entrance exam either."
Ma Pingping said this at the podium.
Lin Chaoxi spun the pen and lowered his head.
She didn't expect Teacher Ma to have this attitude. Although she was forced to agree to let the entire grade take the selection exam, she disliked students who had opportunities but did not take them seriously more than being "forced" to do so.
Anyway, Mr. Ma actually has a complete chain of contempt, and his logic is self-contained, which is quite...
Lin Chaoxi was just thinking about this when he suddenly heard the female teacher on the podium say, "There are also some students who have fought hard to get the opportunity to take the exam. Please do your best and don't get bad results. It will be interesting."
Lin Chaoxi continued to lower her head. She felt that she was overthinking again.
——
The exam bell rang and the snow-white test paper was handed down.
The desk mate lay down again, and Lin Chaoxi could only fold his test paper and stuff it under his arm.
She picked up a pen and wrote her name and age...
In fact, it was only a few days, but she felt as if she hadn't taken an exam in half a lifetime. When she saw the familiar fill-in-the-blank multiple-choice questions and those mathematical symbols, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Fortunately, I'm back and there's still a chance.
Lin Chaoxi thought so while reading the questions.
The essence of this mathematics league selection test is still a "selection", and the questions are definitely not easy.
But it is not easy, nor does it mean that the first fill-in-the-blank question will require you to use the scaling method to find the maximum value. This is entirely a matter of competition difficulty. Lin Chaoxi thinks that Teacher Ma might be a little crazy.
After analyzing the problem, she converted the number into (1/n) and substituted it into the formula to simplify it...
Proceed step by step in an orderly manner.
Lin Chaoxi didn't study well for three years. If we talk about where he lags behind Lu Zhihao and others, it is probably the speed in solving problems.
Lu Zhihao and his friends had gone through three years of training and were also young, so their thinking speed was faster than hers. In comparison, she had already gone to college and had to go back to study junior high school math, so she still needed to go through a lot of training to make her thinking more fluent.
But in fact, speed itself is not that important. This is not the same building climbing test that Vice Principal Zhang took, so she does not need to hand in the paper in advance.
Lin Chaoxi did the test paper like this, sometimes doing calculations and sometimes thinking, without feeling too much pressure.
Outside the window was a clear autumn day, and there was a faint floral scent in the air, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She took a deep breath and found it quite comfortable to do her homework while enjoying the breeze.
"Some students, stop looking around!"
Suddenly, the invigilator spoke again.
Lin Chaoxi withdrew his gaze from all directions and stared at the test paper.
"For every natural number n not less than 2..."
She looked at one more question, but before she finished reading it, she felt someone was staring at her.
Looking up, Ma Pingping was sitting on a small chair beside the podium, her eyes were blazing. Her tall pierced eyes and delicate eyeliner made her gaze even more lethal.
"What are you looking at me for? The answer is on my face." Ma Pingping opened her red lips and sneered.
Lin Chaoxi lowered his head again and even began to miss Vice Principal Zhang.
What did he say then?
——"In your life, you will always encounter difficulties of one kind or another, which will make you nervous and uncomfortable during the exam, but you always have to persist in taking the exam..."
Of all the uncomfortable situations, being pointed at by a teacher is definitely one of them.
However, it was not only Mr. Ma who made the exam more difficult.
The clock pointed to 4, and the exam time was not even half over, but many students in the class had already stood up to hand in their papers.
Matt Zheng took the lead, and all the boys in the class followed suit.
For a moment, the classroom was filled with the sound of tables and chairs being pushed around, the sound of people talking, and the voice of Teacher Ma asking everyone to line up and hand in their papers.
"Why are you carrying a schoolbag?" Ma Pingping was sorting out test papers in front of the podium. She looked up and called out to Zheng Mate, the last student in the classroom who was about to sneak out with his schoolbag. "Is it time to leave school? Who allowed you to leave?"
"Teacher, if we don't leave, we will just stroll around the playground with our schoolbags on our backs." Zheng Matt smiled awkwardly.
"Yes, teacher. If we stay in the classroom, won't it affect other students' exams?" another classmate teased.
Ma Pingping was speechless. She pursed her red lips tightly, as if she was about to get angry, but she also wondered what these children had to do with her. She finally waved her hand and told them to leave the classroom quickly.
The boys were discussing where to go to play games, and the girls were talking about boys.
After a while of noise, most of the students in their class left with their friends.
Lin Chaoxi's thoughts were disturbed by a burst of shouting again. She subconsciously looked out the window and saw Bao Xiaomeng, who had just handed in her paper, passing by.
The sunlight outlined Bao Xiaomeng's bright smile. She was talking to a classmate next to her. She glanced at her casually, and then quickly looked away.
Her cheerful voice came from the half-open window: "Shall we go downstairs and read the comics later?"
Lin Chaoxi held the pen tightly. It would be a lie to say that she didn't care at all. She and Bao Xiaomeng hadn't spoken to each other for many days since they parted at the intersection that day.
She always had the illusion that she had been reborn and was running forward, leaving her friends far behind. She was even a bit like the scumbag in TV dramas who abandoned his wife.
But she had been reading hard these days and had no chance to have a deep talk with Bao Xiaomeng.
But is it useful to say it?
Lin Chaoxi wasn't sure either.
With such complicated feelings, Lin Chaoxi sank into the sea of questions again.
When she looked up again, she found that in such a large class, only she, Pei Zhi, and a few other classmates were left.
Pei Zhi was too lazy to leave the classroom, so she waited for her after finishing. And of course, her deskmate was still sleeping.
The classroom was deserted and silent, with only the sound of Teacher Ma marking papers with anger. From the playground further away, the laughter of their classmates could be heard from afar.
"Do you know why you are not allowed to take the exam?" Ma Pingping threw away a paper, looked around the classroom, and said coldly.
"Because people won't take the exam seriously, or even don't want to take it, so you want them to just give up the exam?" Lin Zhaoxi put down his pen. "But as a teacher, why should you let your students lead you by the nose?"
Lin Chaoxi stood up, took the test paper and walked to the podium, saying, "Hand it in."
