Chapter 199: Monthly Exam

Description

This type of video.

Last time it was that girl Chu Xiaomeng, who blushed and filmed a video to thank me for taking her in as my underling.

So I wiped the corner of my eye and directly tapped on the video.

Not much time, just a few dozen seconds.

As the music started, Long Fei began dancing in the frame, still wearing the same outfit from yesterday.

Her movements were lively and infectious, filled with a suggestive vibe throughout, way more stimulating than the photos.

Before I knew it, it was over, and I still wanted more.

I still saved it to favorites with a critical eye, just in case the history got cleared later and it was gone for good.

“Whew… this wasn’t a bad deal after all.”

Gu Chen’s drowsiness was completely gone.

Rubbing his chin, if a few more videos came along, he might actually consider taking on the Underground Arena.

Hey, why did that feel kind of perverted?

Shaking his head, better not think too much about it.

He hurried to wash up and clear his head.

There was an exam today, and he couldn’t afford to delay the important stuff.

After getting ready, he rushed off toward School.

It seemed to have cooled down a bit today, and the wind blowing in his face felt noticeably chillier.

“Hiss…“

After parking his bike, Gu Chen stomped his feet to warm up and headed toward School.

Thankfully Long Fei’s video had perked him up, otherwise he might have actually been late today.

So there was definitely a legitimate reason to have her film more.

Checking the time, there were still a few minutes before morning reading started.

Just as he was about to walk into the Stairs, a voice suddenly came from behind him, quite pleasant to the ear.

“Wait!”

He wasn’t sure if it was directed at him, but out of curiosity, he stopped and turned to look.

Seeing the refined young lady in front of him, Gu Chen recognized her at a glance.

“Ye Xinyan?”

He remembered they’d had contact here last time too.

So he looked around.

It seemed he was the only one here, so it probably wasn’t meant for someone else.

“Um, is something the matter?”

Gu Chen paused and asked directly.

“No, nothing… I’m sorry.”

Ye Xinyan’s body trembled slightly.

She lowered her head and ran off again, completely incomprehensible.

She fled in a shy, hesitating manner.

“Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Gu Chen was utterly confused.

She greets him but doesn’t say anything, and he’s no mind reader, so how would he know what she’s trying to convey?

He also felt like he’d forgotten something, and it was related to her.

But there was no time to think about it now.

He had to hurry to the Classroom and check in first.

“Class, don’t put too much pressure on yourselves. Just perform normally. I’ll now announce the subjects.”

“This morning will be Chinese and Math, and this afternoon will be History, Politics, and Biology.”

After morning reading began, Li Yanqiu announced the order for this Monthly Exam so everyone could prepare in advance.

The main subjects had ninety minutes of answer time, and the secondary subjects were tested back-to-back.

About two days would be more than enough.

The Teacher didn’t have full surveillance of the rooms either.

There had been incidents of students colluding to cheat in the past, so the rules had been changed.

Once things officially started, everyone would also be randomly assigned to other exam rooms to prevent collusion between students.

After that ended, it would be the Team Building Activity.

The schedule was packed.

“Next, I’ll announce your exam rooms and seating order.”

Li Yanqiu received the list and began calling out names.

Soon, Gu Chen’s name was called.

He was in Class Seven’s room, seat six in row two.

“Row two, seat six.”

After noting the specific location, Gu Chen began resting with his eyes closed.

He’d slept less than six hours last night.

Though the video had perked him up temporarily, he was starting to feel drowsy and dizzy again.

Even though the Monthly Exam wasn’t the Gaokao, it would still be recorded as part of his regular grades and help with college later, so everyone took it seriously.

It wasn’t until morning reading ended that his energy recovered a bit.

“Class dismissed. Everyone, head to your respective exam rooms. I wish you all good results. Keep it up.”

“Thank you, Teacher!”

The students in the class also stood up one after another and gave a bow.

After being dismissed, Gu Chen stretched as he walked out of the Classroom.

Class Seven was at the other end.

Thinking back, he didn’t think he’d ever actually been to that class’s exam room.

He didn’t have much of an impression of that Class either.

If he had to say anything, it was that the Witch Xia Qingyue was in that Class.

“Hopefully I won’t run into her there.”

At the thought, Gu Chen couldn’t help but feel a chill down his back.

All the seat assignments were randomly distributed, though occasionally a student would happen to be assigned to their own Class.

In his eyes, being anywhere near that Witch gave him an uneasy feeling.

But the seats were already assigned, and he couldn’t exactly swap.

He figured it probably wouldn’t be that much of a coincidence.

With a nervous heart, Gu Chen arrived at Class Seven.

Everyone around who recognized him cleared a path, afraid that if they accidentally provoked him, they’d get beaten up.

After entering, Gu Chen deliberately scanned the entire Classroom and saw that the Witch wasn’t there.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he started looking for his seat and quickly locked onto it.

But the moment he arrived at his seat, the nine Students around him all immediately looked over.

“What?”

They seemed to be whispering about something.

Gu Chen didn’t pay it any mind and waited for the exam to begin.

He placed his stationery on the desk.

The surface was neatly cleaned, seeming to belong to a female Student.

He briefly thought about checking whose desk it was but immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, if that got out, it wouldn’t look good for his reputation.

As the proctor walked in, everyone followed the rules and turned in their phones to prevent anyone from secretly cheating.

The software these days was too powerful.

Just scan it, and it could answer anything.

Gu Chen had no objection to that.

Soon the Chinese exam paper was handed out.

Aside from the sound of pens on paper, the Classroom was eerily silent as everyone seriously worked through their answers.

After two periods ended, Gu Chen turned in his exam paper, feeling like he’d done pretty well.

He hurried to the Toilet and then started the second session.

The entire morning had been a mental storm, and his already woozy head now felt even more painful.

No good.

He had to go to the Secret Base at noon to catch up on sleep and recover his energy.

Ring ring ring~

Finally, as the bell rang, the exam session ended.

Everyone passed their papers up from the last row, with the person in front responsible for placing them on the podium before they could leave.

Gu Chen was listless and rubbed his temples.

“Classmate…”

After seeing that all the papers had been turned in, he stood up to head to the Cafeteria for lunch.

His stomach was just about hungry enough.

Bam!!

But because his head wasn’t too clear, his knee bumped into the desk, almost flipping the entire thing over.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pressed it down in time.

Otherwise, he really would have broken someone’s things and had trouble explaining himself.

A few books still fell out of the drawer, and Gu Chen bent down to pick them up, planning to put them back.

But when his eyes swept over the name on the textbook, he nearly yelped out loud.

“Xia Qingyue!?”

No way, was she really this hard to shake off?!

He never would’ve imagined that the seat he’d been assigned was the desk this Witch normally used!
