Chapter 390: 118: Jealous, go take the exam! _6
“What?” Mo Qishen slightly frowns.
Ni Yang continued, “Being bare-assed is just a metaphor, Brother Mo, all you need to know is that when you met me has nothing to do with liking me or not. Speaking of that, your big nephew is really narcissistic! I think I was clear enough with him, yet he’s still acting like that.” Ni Yang couldn’t help but complain.
Mo Qishen’s expression turned a bit cold, “He’s just too free.”
“I think so too.” Ni Yang went on, “By the way, Brother Mo, our house is going to be roofed on the first of next month. Do you want to come over?”
Roofing a house is significant, and Mo Qishen knows something about this tradition, “I will definitely come for this important event in my wife’s family.”
Ni Yang smiled, “You scruffy thing, are you embarrassed?”
Mo Qishen sniffed the fresh scent from her hair, “From now on, don’t interact with Mo Baichuan anymore, and don’t be alone with him!”
“Mm.” Ni Yang raised three fingers, “I swear.”
Now that they’d spoken about their issues, the distance between them seemed to be a lot smaller.
…
Three days before the roofing, Ni Yang went to school to participate in the entrance exam for senior year transfer students.
Due to the recommendation from Jia Lan’s husband, Ni Yang was exempt from registration and came directly with a recommendation letter to take the exam.
Ni Yang took her introduction letter to the principal, “Hello, Principal Zhao. I was introduced by Teacher Zhang, and I came to take the exam today.”
Principal Zhao took the introduction letter, secretly marvelling at her, what a brilliant young lady!
I wonder how her grades are.
Presumably, the grades aren’t great, otherwise, Zhang Qiang would’ve directly admitted her to his class. Why would he let her go through this roundabout process and come to take the exam?
God is always fair. Gifted with a pretty face, she doesn’t seem to be blessed with an interest in studying hard, however.
After reading the introduction letter carefully, Principal Zhao cheerfully said, “Ni Yang, right? You can go to the first floor of building A for now. A teacher will arrange and distribute your admission tickets there.”
“Okay, thank you, principal.” Ni Yang bowed slightly and then left the principal’s office.
Such a polite girl, Principal Zhao had a gratified expression in his eyes.
Ni Yang made her way to building A. There were many people coming to take the exam, roughly two to three hundred.
About two-thirds of them were locals, and the remaining third came from all over the country.
Because she was here for the exam, Ni Yang didn’t wear a cheongsam but put on a light blue shirt with opposite buttons and black wide-leg pants.
Her age-appropriate vivacity shone through the simple outfit, without making her look too mature.
She looked absolutely beautiful!
Standing in the crowd, she attracted quite a few people’s attention.
A girl also there for the exam proactively greeted Ni Yang, “Hello, my name is Han Xiaoyu, are you here for the exam too?”
Ni Yang nodded, “I am Ni Yang.”
To Xiaoyu’s surprise, Ni Yang was very friendly. Xiaoyu went on, “I heard this year’s Math and English exams are particularly hard. How was your home preparation? I’m so nervous.”
Xiaoyu anxiously wrung her hands.
Ni Yang smiled, “Don’t be nervous, just stay calm. Sometimes too much stress can lead to psychological pressure. Even a small issue will be magnified in your eyes.”
Ni Yang’s response was too calm, it didn’t fit with kids of her age. Xiaoyu exclaimed, “Ni Yang, you’re incredible! Your grades must be really good.”
Ni Yang responded, “Not as exaggerated as you say, I’m just pretty laid-back.”
“What does ‘laid-back’ mean?” Xiaoyu asked, confused.
Ni Yang explained, “Being laid-back means you’re okay with anything, you don’t care about the results.”
Han Xiaoyu nodded, envious, “Yangyang, I wish I could be like you.”
Ni Yang went on, “Don’t overthink it, don’t put pressure on yourself. Let your brain relax completely. Just treat this exam as a normal one.”
Just then, an odd female voice arose from the side, “You talk a good game! Just show us your real score if you’re that capable. Sly fox!”
Ni Yang looked up and saw a tall girl.
Han Xiaoyu tugged at Ni Yang’s sleeve, “That’s Zhou Xuemei. She’s always sour and jealous if anyone looks better than her. Ni Yang, just ignore her!”
Ni Yang nodded, not paying any attention to Zhou Xuemei.
She came here for the exam, not to pick fights.
About ten teachers came over after a while, distributing the admission tickets.
The admission ticket displayed the exam room. By chance, Ni Yang and Han Xiaoyu happened to be in the same room.
The exam schedule was quite tight.
Chinese, English, math, and history were in the morning.
Politics, physics, chemistry, and biology were in the afternoon.
The ringing of the exam bell plunged the room into an intense atmosphere, filled with the rustling sound of flipping pages.
The exam papers of this era were manually printed, and there was a smell of ink in the air.
Ni Yang particularly enjoyed this smell. She took a deep breath, then started carefully filling in her name and student number.
Then she began the exam.
The Chinese exam was no challenge for her since she was a patriotic person.
She finished the one-hour exam twenty-five minutes early.
After finishing, she carefully checked again. Once confirmed there were no errors, she rested her hands on her forehead and closed her eyes, taking a quick nap. She had stayed up half the night reviewing for today’s exam.
Given that this was an exam, Ni Yang dared not sleep openly.
But the invigilation teachers’ eyes were sharp. As teachers, they typically don’t like students who lack ambition.
Seeing Ni Yang sleeping, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
Kids these days, they’re getting worse and worse!
“What’s the name of that young lady sleeping there?” The speaker was Zhang Qiang, the husband of Jia Lan and Ni Yang’s recommender.
Although he had written a recommendation letter for Ni Yang, he had never met her, so it was normal for him not to recognize her.
Another teacher said, “I heard this young lady’s name is Ni Yang. Right, Zhang, isn’t she recommended by you?”
Because Ni Yang was beautiful, many teachers remembered her face.
“Is that Ni Yang?” Zhang Qiang looked surprised.
At the same time, he felt relief. He was glad he didn’t admit Ni Yang directly to his class!
This would simply slow down the whole class and reduce the college admission rate.
What a relief!
Zhang Qiang took a deep breath.
“How come, you don’t even recognize the student you introduced?”
Zhang Qiang said, “To be honest, this girl was introduced by a friend of my wife’s, I really don’t know her.”
“Zhang, it’s a good thing you didn’t let her directly into your class.”
Zhang Qiang nodded, “Isn’t it!”
A teacher next to him chimed in, “Can’t deny it, the young girl is pretty beautiful, just that her study attitude seems a bit lacking.”
