The end of the first mock exam means that this weekend is completely over, and we will have to enter the busy study life again.

After the last English exam, the senior high school students did not dare to delay and hurried back home to rest with their mothers.

After all, it was already five o'clock when the exam ended, and evening self-study would start at seven o'clock in the evening. If you count the time spent on the way back and the time for dinner, the students would only have less than an hour of rest time.

After the last English exam, Ji Nianping, who was in the first examination room for liberal arts, handed in his paper first, picked up the paper, pen, stationery and other exam supplies that he had packed long ago, and prepared to leave the classroom to go home. Ouyang Ming, who was sitting in the second row, followed closely behind, and after the teacher collected the papers, he rushed out of the examination room.

In fact, Ji Nianping and Ouyang Ming had already finished the test paper a long time ago. After they finished the test paper and checked it carefully twice, there was still half an hour left before the end of the exam.

But Ji Nianping and Ouyang Ming were not like the others in the examination room. They handed in their test papers and left the examination room after they were almost done. Instead, they sat in their seats, checking the test papers in their hands over and over again, and endured the half hour before handing the papers to the invigilator and leaving the classroom.

The reason for doing this was that before the exam, Zhou Yu, as the class teacher, specifically told them that even if they had finished the test, they had to sit in their seats and check their work calmly. If anyone handed in their paper early and errors that shouldn't have appeared were not checked, Zhou Yu would have them copy the wrong questions a hundred times and hand them to him.

It was also because of Zhou Yu's exhortation, or "intimidation", that the 120 students in the two classes taught by Zhou Yu, regardless of their academic performance or grades, behaved like good children in the examination room. After the exam, they still sat in their seats, checking the contents of the test papers over and over again.

Although Ouyang Ming and Ji Nianping had prepared the test papers a long time in advance, they were not like other people who didn't know how to write. When they encountered a blank, they just picked a suitable answer from A, B, C, or D and filled it in, hoping that the 25% accuracy rate would allow them to get a score.

Ouyang Ming and Ji Nianping, who are top students in the school, would naturally not encounter such a situation. Even though the difficulty of this exam seems very difficult to others, in their eyes, it is just an ordinary test paper.

Of course, this is how they see it now. If it were a few months ago, Ji Nianping and Ouyang Ming would probably think the same as other students in an ordinary class.

Ji Nianping, who was walking in front, saw Ouyang Ming catching up and immediately smiled at him, "Brother Ming, how did you do in the English test this time?"

In the past classes, Ji Nianping usually called Ouyang Ming by his name, but after such a long time, under the guidance of his good deskmate Xu Li, he now calls Ouyang Ming "Brother Ming".

Seeing Ji Nianping, the top student in the class and the whole school, greeting him, Ouyang Ming forced a smile and responded, "That's it. It's probably a little higher than before, but I guess, no matter how high it is, it's still not as high as yours."

Ouyang Ming was very self-aware. Although he had only studied in Class 27 for such a long time, he felt very good about himself. He thought his grades had improved a lot, which was probably equivalent to the difference between Qi Refining and Foundation Building, a huge improvement.

But Ouyang Ming was not so naive as to think that with his current performance he could surpass Ji Nianping, who was number one in the school.

The reason is simple. Ouyang Ming is learning and making progress, and Ji Nianping is also learning and making progress.

Studying is not a race between the tortoise and the hare. Ouyang Ming is not stupid enough to think that while he is working hard to catch up, Ji Nianping will arrogantly give up his studies and stand still waiting for others to surpass him.

As expected, after hearing Ouyang Ming say this, Ji Nianping's smile became even brighter.

Ji Nianping tried to pat Ouyang Ming's shoulder, but when he found that Ouyang Ming, who was 1.9 meters tall, was staring at him with his head down, Ji Nianping, who was actually 1.68 meters tall but advertised to be 1.7 meters tall, sneered and withdrew his hand, saying, "Hey, Brother Ming, don't feel sorry for yourself! What if you did better than me in the exam? Right?"

"If you win first place, I will congratulate you! After all, it's tiring for me to always win first place in the school! The teachers' expectations are a bit overwhelming for me, and I also want to see the scenery on the mountainside!"

Damn it, are you trying to be Versailles with me here? !

You deserve to die!

Seeing that the Versailles chronology had begun to be used unconsciously, Ouyang Ming even wanted to use some other means.

I can't beat you in study, so I can't beat you in physics either?! I'll go buy a sack and pick up a brick, so you can feel the dangers of the world!

Ouyang Ming suppressed the urge to hit Ji Nianping and glared at him, "Which eye of yours saw me feeling sorry for myself?"

After that, Ouyang Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Remember this, this is just a small test, it can't decide anything! The only thing that can really decide us is the college entrance examination in June next year!"

Facing Ouyang Ming's remarks, Ji Nianping certainly didn't care. As long as Ouyang Ming didn't take action, facing the academic provocation, Ji Nianping certainly wasn't afraid, "Oh, Brother Ming, that's quite interesting! Then you have to work hard, I believe that as long as you keep up the good work, you will definitely be the top scorer in the liberal arts next year!"

The two of them walked out of the school while chatting casually. Along the way, classmates they knew and didn't know greeted them and talked about the content of the exam.

When facing these classmates, the two of them behaved in very consistent manner. They were both very enthusiastic in helping other classmates solve difficult problems encountered in the exam, without any feeling of the smoke of war as just now.

Just after walking out of the main teaching building, Ji Nianping and Ouyang Ming met Xu Li and Niu Dehua who had just walked out from the other side.

Niu Dehua and Xu Li walked out of the teaching building and onto the main road. As they were chatting and heading out of the school, the sharp-eyed Xu Li immediately caught a glimpse of Ouyang Ming and Ji Nianping in front of them.

Seeing this, Xu Li immediately shouted happily to the front, "Brother Ji, Brother Ming! You guys have finished the exam too?! How did you do this time?!"

Happy New Year, family!
