Chapter 300 -244: Unexpected Joy
Xue Yuantong’s aura was fierce, as if he were entering a climactic battle.
Dong Jiayi was shaken, and then, with a rustling voice, she said,
“I am Dong Jiayi.”
“Let’s go, the exam is about to start,” Xue Yuantong simply stated.
Dong Jiayi didn’t want to waste time either, “Yes, I think so too.”
Ma Shicheng glanced at his watch; there were fifteen minutes until the start of the exam.
Dan Kaiquan looked tense. Was there enough time? Could they leave covered in glory?
However,
Xue Yuantong took less than five minutes, turning the chessboard into a bloody battlefield.
Dong Jiayi sat there dazed, looking bewildered.
“Let’s go, time for the exam,” urged Xue Yuantong.
She was used to such scenes; as a child, she’d played chess by the roadside, where the losers also displayed similar reactions.
Based on Xue Yuantong’s experience, Dong Jiayi’s chess skills were mediocre, roughly equal to 1.5 Xue Chuchus or 0.1 Jiang Nings.
She was no match for him.
Dong Jiayi had just realized, “Is it over?”
“Yes, it’s over,” Xue Yuantong said.
Ma Shicheng checked his watch again, “Let’s go, Xue Yuantong is unbeatable.”
They had taken over someone else’s exam desk for the chess game, and that student had been waiting nearby for a while. To make them feel better, Ma Shicheng even offered them a piece of green arrow gum.
Dan Kaiquan said, “Okay, I’m quite satisfied with today.”
Wang Longlong stood up, intending to leave Class 1.
However, at that moment, Dong Jiayi’s mouth suddenly moved. Before she could speak, Wei Xiu Yuan interrupted,
“Hold on!”
Dan Kaiquan stopped in his tracks, “What’s this about?”
“He’s sore from losing,” Wang Longlong said.
Wei Xiu Yuan halted their departure, and then, Dong Jiayi said,
“It’s not over yet.”
She looked toward the middle seat in the first row and called out,
“Shuyan.”
As these words were spoken, the classmates all turned their attention.
Ding Shuyan had only paid attention for a few seconds while Lin Zida was playing chess, focusing afterward on studying math problems.
She had studied in a provincial city during middle school, coming from a well-off background with top grades.
Though her grades were excellent, they slightly paled in comparison to those of Du Chuan, whom the principal had specially recruited as an “exam expert.”
People like Du Chuan were strong enough to aim for two top-tier universities, remaining elite even in An City’s high schools.
Ding Shuyan had put some thought into maintaining her class ranking.
Not for any other reason but that surpassing Du Chuan would mean her rank could become top three, or even second, positioning her seat just in front or behind Jiang Ning in the next exam.
This was a rare, legitimate opportunity to observe him.
Ding Shuyan lifted her head sooner than Dong Jiayi had called her; she noticed someone was looking at her.
“What is it?” Ding Shuyan’s expression was calm.
Without showing any emotion and relying merely on her exquisitely beautiful face, she still attracted the gaze of nearly all the male students.
Dong Jiayi made a request,
“Shuyan, you like playing chess, right? She’s really good at it. Why don’t you play a game with her?”
Dong Jiayi’s chess skills had improved since she often played with Ding Shuyan; playing with a skilled player had rapidly elevated her own level.
With Dong Jiayi’s words, everyone’s gaze was filled with anticipation, hoping she would take action.
Many students hadn’t interacted with Ding Shuyan and found her quite mysterious.
However, just then, Ma Shicheng checked his watch again; there might not be enough time, and he didn’t care how pretty Ding Shuyan was, he just blurted out,
“We’ve got to go, the exam is starting soon.”
“Longlong, let’s get out of here!” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Wang Longlong was a loyal follower of Brother Ma.
The two dashed toward the door, while Dan Kaiquan hesitated for a moment. He was keen to watch Ding Shuyan’s match against Xue Yuantong, especially since Ding Shuyan was extremely attractive.
However, Dan Kaiquan, with immense willpower, restrained himself. His heart belonged only to Bai Yuxia, and no matter how beautiful Ding Shuyan was, he would never betray Bai Yuxia.
He was a rare, passionately devoted man.
Wei Xiu Yuan watched the three leave, incredulous,
“They just left?”
Without the slightest hint of reluctance.
While the trio had scampered off, it didn’t prevent the others from watching, the classmates anticipated Ding Shuyan’s response.
But considering Jiang Ning and also Xue Yuantong’s relationship with him,
Ding Shuyan, very self-aware, declined,
“Maybe another time, it’s time for the exam.”
Upon hearing this, disappointment flickered in everyone’s eyes.
…
In Building 2, the Grade 1 exam room.
The atmosphere was solemn and quiet, with students furiously writing, the sound of pens scraping unceasingly.
In the second-to-last row, Cui Yu listlessly opened his math test paper, stuck on question six and still clueless on question seven.
He was seated in front of his classmate Meng Gui.
Though both were on the same level as competitors, Cui Yu’s math scores were much lower than Meng Gui’s; he could only score 60, while Meng Gui easily broke 90, sometimes even scoring over 100.
Therefore, Cui Yu was overjoyed upon learning their seating arrangement.
Before the exam, he and Meng Gui had made a pact to help each other out.
Having bonded over watching movies late into the night, their friendship was solid, and Meng Gui, known for his loyalty, readily agreed.
Everything about the agreement went smoothly until today’s invigilator turned out to be Gao Heshuai.
Gao Heshuai, with his hands behind his back, stood on the podium, his bull-like eyes sternly sweeping over the room, his presence fiercely intimidating as if to say, ‘Anyone caught cheating, I’ll break your neck!’
It was utterly terrifying!
Already guilty, Cui Yu was even more terrified upon seeing him.
Amid such torment, Cui Yu eagerly awaited Meng Gui’s answers.
As the second hand on the clock edged forward, Gao Heshuai paced about, inspecting the room.
Cui Yu periodically kicked Meng Gui’s stool legs, urging him to hurry and let him copy the answers.
