Chapter 161: 159 The most badass Chinese exam paper in history!
The second day of the third mock exam.
Comprehensive science in the morning, followed by the last subject, Chinese, in the afternoon.
During the comprehensive science exam in the morning, Tang Tianjiao realized that compared to today’s exam, yesterday’s math was indeed somewhat simpler.
She had specifically asked Xia Ye which she felt would be the simpler of the two exams, the comprehensive science or math.
Xia Ye’s deskmate had replied that it would be math.
Incredible.
Her deskmate had guessed right again!
Until the comprehensive science exam was over at noon, the students still felt relatively calm.
The overall difficulty wasn’t too big.
Just like the upperclassmen said in the school’s online forum, among the three mock exams prior to the college entrance examination, the third one is generally the easiest.
Students were pleased with their scores and felt confident about the actual exam.
Xia Yourong even predicted that she could probably rank around fifth or sixth in the entire city.
But when they got the Chinese exam paper in the afternoon, everyone, without exception, could no longer smile.
It turned out Zhao Yuhuan was right, math had been made deliberately easier to compensate for another subject that was extremely difficult.
And that extremely difficult subject was Chinese!
In the previous two mock exams, Chinese had not been made significantly more challenging. So after discussions between schools, and considering the other subjects were relatively easier this time, they had decided to make Chinese much harder.
Dense ancient literature knowledge points, abstruse and hard-to-understand classical readings.
The essay question was even more ruthless.
An essay based on provided material allowed students to come up with their own titles based on their understanding and display their writing skills.
It sounded quite user-friendly, but the real challenge lay in the fact that the material provided in the paper was a piece of abstract writing with strong philosophical overtones. Students might not even be able to determine the central theme, and such a topic was also not well-suited for the argumentative essays they usually practiced.
At this moment, Yang Dadi, who was invigilating in Class 1’s exam room, sat at the podium with the exam paper in hand, wiping his face with his hand, already mourning for his students who were spread out in various classes taking the test.
Sitting next to him, also invigilating, was Gao Jingyi, the Chinese teacher for Class 1.
Gao Jingyi and Zhao Yuhuan were two of a kind and had never gotten along with him.
However, faced with this abnormal exam paper, they both decided to temporarily set aside their personal grudges and worried about the exam paper instead.
Sighs rose and fell beneath the podium, and the girls’ ponytails were all messed up from their own scratching.
Gao Jingyi went down to take a look, mainly to see how her students were doing.
Returning to the podium, Yang Dadi asked her in a low voice, "How is it?"
Gao Jingyi didn’t answer; she went back to her seat and flipped through the Chinese teaching plans for a comparison.
For several reading comprehension questions, she too wasn’t sure of the final answers.
After checking the teaching plans, Gao Jingyi looked even more displeased.
Even Tian Ye was not doing very well, not to mention the other students.
The ancient literature knowledge points tested were intricate; they couldn’t be answered correctly just by rote memorization.
Seeing her like this, Yang Dadi himself completely lacked the courage to even go for a stroll.
But it didn’t look right for both invigilators not to walk around either, so after half the exam time had passed, Yang Dadi couldn’t stand it anymore and went down anyway.
He first visited Xia Ye, known for her strong mental composure.
When he walked over, Xia Ye had already started on her essay.
She was truly fast.
As for whether she had completed the previous questions, he had no idea.
He walked by with hands behind his back, serenely glanced over the essay she was writing.
The next second, he suddenly bent down, his face almost touching the paper, as if he had discovered some treasure.
Xia Ye was actually using her right hand to work on the paper!
And the handwriting was much better-looking than before, when it was like little flies buzzing around with her left hand.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Xia Ye had written these characters.
Emperor Yang couldn’t help but ask quietly, "You can write with your right hand?"
So, the person who secretly changed Tang Tianjiao’s test paper last time was indeed...
But how did she change it? Did she copy the answers from the answer book?
Since Tian Hanwen already knew, Xia Ye felt there was no need to stick to using her left hand.
Before she had time to think of an answer, she heard Gao Jingyi’s cold voice from the podium, "Teacher Yang, how can you talk to students during the exam?!"
Emperor Yang uttered an "Ah" and quickly straightened up.
Although he wasn’t reminding the students of the answers, it really wasn’t proper, so he put away his doubts and focused on proctoring the exam.
He couldn’t help looking back at Xia Ye with every few steps he took.
Tian Ye also paid attention to Xia Ye during the exam.
He noticed that Xia Ye’s demeanor during the Chinese exam was different from during the other subjects.
She looked very serious, sat up straighter, and didn’t fidget as much.
Her lips were slightly pursed, and her long lashes cast a tranquil shadow on her eyelids as they drooped.
Tian Ye was momentarily distracted and when he looked at his watch again, three minutes had passed!
He furrowed his brows and quickly refocused his mind.
After the exam, the students felt as if they had been skinned, with most of the final essays merely padding word count, not even sure of their own thesis, now resting their heads on their desks, close to tears.
Gao Jingyi was responsible for binding the test papers. She didn’t dare to look as openly as Zhao Yuhuan, but she flipped through them and noticed one that was particularly well filled out, with especially strong and beautiful handwriting; she noticed it immediately but didn’t see whose paper it was.
Latter, the papers were taken away by Emperor Yang, but Gao Jingyi still recalled the handwriting on that paper in her mind.
It wasn’t Tian Ye’s, nor did it resemble those of her own students...
Could it be, from another key class?
At the sound of the school bell signaling the end of the day, the campus was filled with groans.
Even the appetite for dinner had waned from the usual enthusiasm.
During evening self-study, the students returned to their respective classes and moved their desks back to their original positions.
Class 19 also found the Chinese exam difficult, but they were used to tough challenges, having scored in the single digits before.
Their resilience was strong, and they were hardly affected.
In Xia Ye’s desk hole, there was a new white soft plastic bag with a small print on it, smelling delicious.
Upon opening it, a small cake lay quietly inside.
Her gaze returned to the upper left corner of the desk.
Stuck on her desk were Jiang Yunzhou’s exam number and name.
She opened WeChat and thanked Jiang Yunzhou.
Yizhou: How did you know it was me who sent it! We’re so in tune! I have a feeling that we might not just be ordinary classmates in the future~~~ [Rukawa Kaede’s cool basketball shot.jpg]
Xia Ye thought it over carefully.
Jiang Yunzhou was Jiang Xuan’s nephew, so...
They really might not just be ordinary classmates in the future...

That evening when she got home, Xia Yuzheng and Xu He were in the living room watching TV, waiting for her.
Entering the house, Xu He’s gentle voice floated over, "Baby, how did the exam go?"
Xia Ye let out a light chuckle, "I did a bit better on the Chinese exam; brace yourselves~"
"Oh ho," Xia Yuzheng couldn’t help but tease his daughter, finding her confidence endearing, "If I recall correctly, you scored in the twenties on your last Chinese exam, right? This time, since you did well, maybe you could score four..."
Before he could finish saying "ty-something," Xu He gave him a hard twist on his arm, and Xia Yuzheng quickly swerved in his speech, seriously saying, "No matter the score, Daddy is looking forward to it."
