The world is going to the dogs; people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.
After a moment's internal reflection, Chen Bing decisively refused the girl's request.
Watching the other person's dejected and silent departure, Chen Bing couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow in his chest, along with waves of regret.
Oh dear! What a pity!
Chen Bing's distress wasn't because he was a coward and didn't dare to help the beautiful girl. It was simply because he was frustrated that he hadn't brought his phone with him because of the high school entrance exam.
If he had his own phone or other device that could take pictures with him, he could record his heroic act of upholding male virtue and not being deceived by a pretty girl, and then go to Shang Yunmiao to boast about it after the high school entrance exam.
If things go like this, Xiao Shang will be moved to tears. Then she can wear whatever she wants – Lolita fashion, little skirts, Hanfu – right?
It's really outrageous that we can't bring cell phones to the high school entrance exam!
Chen Bing then considered the possibility of asking someone from the experimental junior high school to check the surveillance footage after the exam, but it was just wishful thinking.
Coming to his senses, he continued to circulate his knowledge in his mind, adopting a cold and aloof demeanor.
After reviewing for a short while, time slowly ticked by until it was time to enter the examination room.
Everything was the same as a year ago: waiting, receiving the papers, and answering the questions.
Logically speaking, Chen Bing should have done this test paper in his previous life, but so many years have passed that he has completely forgotten it.
However, forgetting is not a big deal, because the advantage of being reborn is not reflected in the exam paper, but in the mind of the test taker.
Years of study experience made Chen Bing feel very comfortable solving problems. A small middle school entrance exam paper looked rather ridiculous to him. He could even come up with the answers to many questions very naturally after just a glance.
Thinking about the problem no longer affected his problem-solving speed; the only obstacle was Chen Bing's writing speed.
Instead of writing freely as usual, Chen Bing saw that the entire exam paper was not difficult, so she chose to fill in the answer sheet in regular script, which she had practiced diligently for many years.
This is why Chen Bing dared to meticulously refine the font when it was for a middle school entrance exam question; he probably wouldn't have the ability or time for a college entrance exam question.
After finishing all the questions except the essay, Chen Bing glanced at the clock and realized there was still a little over an hour and thirty minutes left before the exam ended. In other words, he had spent less than half an hour on the earlier questions.
Chen Bing gave the exam paper a disdainful smile, glanced at the answer sheet, and first admired the appearance of her paper.
While I can't guarantee the grades, the presentation should be among the best in the city.
Hmph~ I owe all my success today to the time I spent with my family when I was a kid...
After a moment of stunned silence, the smugness on Chen Bing's face slowly faded, replaced by a melancholy expression.
Never mind, I'll stop thinking about it and look at the essay first.
Setting the answer sheet aside, Chen Bing began to look at the essay question on the exam paper.
This year's middle school entrance exam essay topic was "Life's Treasures," and under the two large characters for "essay" was the following passage.
Life is a long journey, and we will encounter many people and things, some of which will become treasures in our hearts. These treasures may be a beautiful memory, an important lesson, or a sincere emotion.
Like brilliant stars, they illuminate our path forward, making our lives more fulfilling and meaningful.
Please write an essay of no less than 600 words on the theme of "The Treasures of Life," choosing your own title.
Require
1……】
Is it a treasure trove in life?
After much deliberation, upon seeing the essay requirements and considering her recent state of mind, Chen Bing wrote down her title and opening paragraph almost without hesitation.
My maternal grandfather, calligraphy, and my childhood.
The departure of a loved one is not a torrential rain, but a long, damp rain in this life; the departure of a loved one is not a knife or axe that cuts into the body, but a wound that will never heal for the rest of our lives, a wound that tears us apart every time we think of them...
Before I knew it, another several tens of minutes had passed. A tear hadn't even left my eye when it was blown away by the cold wind.
After writing the last period of her essay, Chen Bing closed her eyes to calm herself down for a while before continuing to check the entire paper.
But whenever he saw the beautiful handwriting on the answer sheet, a feeling of melancholy would wash over him. Despite his anxiety, Chen Bing still checked the answer sheet again and again.
And I think that apart from Chinese, there is no other subject that can bring people such profound feelings.
And that is the charm of the Chinese language.
The two hours of the exam flew by, and Chen Bing gradually regained his composure. As the exam ended, he placed the answer sheet on top of the scratch paper on the desk, and then busied himself tidying up his things while waiting for the invigilator to collect the papers.
When the teacher wearing the invigilator's badge received Chen Bing's seat, he visibly paused. His eyes darted back and forth between Chen Bing's answer sheet and Chen Bing herself, filled with surprise.
"teacher?"
After the male teacher reminded him, he came to his senses and carefully took away Chen Bing's answer sheet as if it were a precious treasure.
After three rounds of this process, the answer sheets, exam papers, and draft paper were collected one by one, and the students in the examination room were allowed to leave.
Stretching, Comrade Chen Bing picked up his pencil case, coughed to clear his dry throat, and then hurriedly left.
At this moment, the Lolita girl who had previously approached him hurriedly followed him a few steps after the exam, her intentions unclear.
However, Chen Bing's movements were too fast, and there were too many people at the scene, so for the time being, she could only follow far behind her and could not catch up in time.
Just a few steps away from Chen Bing, she suddenly stopped. She saw a particularly cute girl in a light blue fitted long dress suddenly take Chen Bing's arm and start talking to her with a smile.
He has a girlfriend... so even if I ask him for an answer again, he probably won't agree.
After thinking it over, Lolita didn't dwell on it any longer and simply took another path and leisurely left.
Her movements were initially hurried, then slow and deliberate. This change in the girl attracted the attention of many people.
There's nothing that can be done about it. After all, she's a beautiful teenage girl in the prime of her youth wearing a cute pink Lolita dress. I believe no boy wouldn't notice her, not even a saint like Chen Bing who can remain unmoved by temptation.
