Chapter 204 Can’t You Be As Honest As Me?
Outside the window, the morning mist has not yet completely dissipated, and the trees, school roads, teaching buildings, and clothes drying on the balconies are vaguely visible in the haze.
Occasionally, you can hear the chirping of birds in the distance, or the sound of whistles from the distant streets, and the air is filled with a fresh and slightly cool scent.
This is the time when night and day meet, and thoughts surge slowly like the tide, making sleep the deepest at this moment.
Gradually, the world became brighter.
The morning light shines gently into the dormitory through the balcony window. The fan above my head is humming. The guys sleeping soundly on their beds have all kinds of strange sleeping positions.
The occasional footsteps and whispers in the corridor, and the sounds of doors opening and closing, woke Fang Wei up.
He frowned, slowly opened his eyes, fumbled to pick up the watch on the pillow, squinted his eyes and looked at it——
Six five.
Putting down the watch, he dozed off for another ten minutes.
It was getting more and more lively outside, and the dormitory managers started knocking on the doors of each dormitory to remind everyone to get up.
Without waiting for the dormitory manager to knock on his dormitory, Fang Wei stood up and patted the face of A Sheng who was sleeping soundly on the upper bunk.
"Asheng, wake up!"
"Hmm... I'm so sleepy... Let me take a nap for a while..."
"Sleep the hell out! Hurry up and get up! There's an exam coming up!"
"……take an exam!"
Only then did A Sheng sit up suddenly.
"Hongda, Haibo, Alei... wake up!"
"..."
Fang Wei woke them up one by one. Although the dormitory manager would knock on the door to remind them, Fang Wei was still worried and went to the two next door dormitories to wake up all his classmates.
It goes without saying that, apart from my own dormitory, the students in the other two dormitories definitely did not go to bed early.
But this is the good thing about young people. Even if they stay up all night, after washing up and taking a short break, they will basically be full of energy.
There is no such thing as having no appetite after getting up. Your stomach will be rumbling with hunger after being empty all night.
"Damn, Alei, did you fall into a pit? Why is it taking so long to take a shit? Hurry up! The whole village is lining up!"
"I'm wiping it, wiping it..."
"Bring everything you need for the exam! Don't forget anything!"
"Awei, are we going to have breakfast now?"
"Let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast!"
"Let's go!"
When I arrived at the cafeteria, it was meal time and there were more people than yesterday.
The breakfast supply is quite rich, including big buns, soy milk, fried noodles, fried rice and so on.
The male and female dormitories are not in the same building, but Fang Wei still saw Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi in the cafeteria. After getting breakfast, he sat next to them.
"What's going on? Why do you all look so sleepy?"
"Wow, I fell asleep so late last night! I'm still a little sleepy now!"
"What's wrong?"
"We were just chatting, and it got really late..."
"..."
Sure enough, the girls' dormitory is no exception.
Fang Wei was both angry and amused. Seeing that the two of them didn't take the fried dough sticks, he tore the fried dough stick in his hand and gave half to each of them.
"Eat quickly. After eating, go outside and bask in the sun and you won't feel sleepy anymore. You have two exams in the morning, so just take a good nap at noon."
"Uh-huh!"
Everyone took no time to eat breakfast. After the meal, they gathered under the shade of the tree in front of the cafeteria.
Wen Susu arrived a long time ago.
He was holding a plastic bag with several sets of stationery in it, and their admission tickets. He counted the number of people while distributing the admission tickets to everyone.
"Make sure to keep your admission ticket! Check if you have brought the stationery you are supposed to bring. If not, the teacher has them here. You cannot bring anything other than stationery into the examination room. The Chinese exam will start at 8 o'clock. There will be a 30-minute break in the middle of the Chinese exam. Don't run around except to go to the bathroom. The history exam will be right after that! Even if you have finished it, you cannot hand it in early, understand! Check it carefully several times, and gather here after the exam..."
"Got it~!"
Even though everyone's ears were almost callused from hearing this, Wen Susu still kept reminding them over and over again without getting tired of it.
Fang Wei took the admission ticket handed to him by Wen Susu, which included his own candidate information, a black and white photo, the examination time of each subject, the examination room number, the seat number, etc.
Seeing that everyone was present and the admission tickets had been distributed, Wen Susu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet, I'll go eat later. You guys, it's almost time to go to the exam room to prepare, do your best! Cailing, Zhiyi, come on!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Shall we go over there first?"
"Well, let's go!"
"Sister, go have breakfast. There won't be anything to eat in the cafeteria soon."
"Okay, okay, I won't starve!"
Wen Susu clenched her fists, gave them a cheering gesture, and then watched everyone gathered here go to different examination rooms.
After everyone had left, she was the only one left there. After making sure that no classmates had anything to worry about and came back to look for her, she turned around and left, going to the cafeteria to have breakfast...
Fang Wei and Cai Ling Zhiyi were taking the exam on the same teaching floor, so naturally they went together.
The three of them were not in a hurry to go in, so Fang Wei was dragged by the two of them to go to the bathroom together. He was responsible for holding their things at the door, and after the two of them came out, he went there again.
"What is the invigilator at the door holding in his hand?" Xu Cailing asked curiously.
"Detectors, to prevent people from bringing in equipment to cheat."
"So strict!"
"After all, the high school entrance exam is more rigorous than the college entrance exam."
"The college entrance examination sounds so far away..."
"When you first entered school, did you also feel that the high school entrance exam was very far away?"
"Well……"
"Let's go, it's almost time to go in."
"Then you are not allowed to leave first after the exam! Let's go together! Zhiyi, you too!"
"Uh-huh!"
The three of them then walked into different examination rooms and finally arrived at the last classroom.
There is a row of tables in the corridor at the entrance. Things like school bags and review materials are not allowed to be brought in and can only be placed outside.
However, Fang Wei didn't bring anything else except two pens and a correction fluid. After all, he would not be able to use rulers and compasses when taking Chinese and history exams.
There are no barcodes or answer sheets for exams now, but the test paper and answer sheet are still separate. I hope that no students in my class will be careless and write the answers on the test paper instead of copying them on the answer sheet...
The exam schedule is quite tight, with all seven subjects to be completed in two days. This morning's exams were Chinese and history.
There were two invigilators. After reading out the examination room rules, they started distributing the papers five minutes in advance, but students had to wait until eight o'clock to start writing.
Taking advantage of this time, Fang Wei read the test paper and wrote down the candidate number, name and other information.
There is not much to say about the Chinese subject. For me, the main difficulty is writing essays.
I first took a look at this year's composition topic. It was not difficult. I wrote a composition based on the materials provided. It happened that Wen Susu had talked about similar materials just last month, so I felt more confident now.
As for the others, even though Fang Wei was not relatively good at liberal arts, he was still confident of passing the test papers of this difficulty.
At 8 o'clock, the bell rang and Fang Wei picked up his pen and began to answer questions...
The exam lasted two hours, and Fang Wei finished the test paper in only about an hour and a half.
He did not hand in the paper early in the remaining half hour, but listened to Wen Susu and checked it carefully several times.
Occasionally he would look at other candidates. Most of them were not as calm as him. With less than half an hour left, some who were slow were still scratching their heads while doing their reading comprehension.
The high school entrance exam is the test that most significantly divides students. Even at Qingxi Middle School, which is an affiliated middle school of No. 4 Middle School, nearly half of the students cannot get into high school. It may be better in big cities, after all, there are more educational resources and more choices. However, on the island, educational resources are scarce, and the competitive pressure to get into those few high schools is quite high.
Of course, vocational schools nowadays are not as mixed as they will be in the future. Most of the students are really studying technology. If you can learn a skill these days, you may not be worse off than a college student when you enter the society in the future when academic qualifications depreciate.
Soon, at exactly ten o'clock, the bell rang for the end of the exam, and the invigilator began to collect the papers without mercy.
Fang Wei took the bottle of mineral water in his hand, stood up and left the examination room.
After waiting in the corridor for a while, I saw Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi walking together.
Judging from the expressions of the two girls, their performance should be pretty good, at least to a level that they are satisfied with.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"Hehe! Not bad! Over the desert smoke rises straight, over the long river the sun sets round! This is the sentence we reviewed last night, and it actually appeared on the test today! And the composition topic, Teacher Wen also talked about it before!"
Xu Cailing looked very relaxed. Chinese was her best subject. Although she was not as top-notch as Zhiyi, she could usually score over 100 points. She was in a good mood at the moment and chattered non-stop.
Seeing Fang Wei holding a bottle of water, she took it over, unscrewed the bottle cap, and gulped down two gulps of his water through the air.
After drinking it, he did not close the lid, but handed it to Liu Zhiyi.
"Zhiyi, what about you? How do you feel?"
"It's okay~"
"I understand! That means you did very well in the test! Extremely well!"
“No, no!”
"Of course there is! Otherwise you would say 'It was so difficult, I failed the test this time' and then when the scores come out, they're over 110 again! You really deserve a beating!"
"Forehead……"
Liu Zhiyi was embarrassed. Did he really deserve a beating?
"What about you?"
"Me? Invincible."
"Wow, you really deserve a beating!!"
Xu Cailing is so annoying. One is too humble and deserves a beating, and the other is too arrogant and also deserves a beating. Can't they be as honest as her!
Liu Zhiyi found it amusing to watch the two of them playing and fighting. She subconsciously raised the bottle of water in her hand and drank two sips from it.
Suddenly she realized that this was not her water bottle. Seeing Fang Wei and Cai Ling were looking at her, her pretty face turned red. She quickly raised the bottle and poured water from it through the air like them.
His movements were so clumsy that the water poured down but his mouth was crooked to receive it, so it splashed all over himself.
“Aiya…!”
"You'd better just drink it from your mouth!"
