Chapter 1216: Let You Be Afraid
Finish the exam versus finish all the questions. The former’s meaning was ambiguous, but the latter’s meaning was clear.
Ye Ying thought about it too. Her pale face lit up. Her sharp voice turned into a cold smile. “You finished it in an hour? Ye Jian, I didn’t know you could do that.”
The leader of Provincial No.2 Middle School was not as confident as before. He could hear the resentment in the tone of the student whom his school thought highly of. He instantly felt that this “cheating” matter was not simple.
It sounded like a personal feud.
Ye Jian smiled and answered the question of the leader of the Provincial Education BureauI have a habit that all my classmates know about. I like to finish all the questions within an hour. No matter which tests it is, I have the habit of finishing it within an hour.”
The confidence in her smile combined with her calm expression made all the leaders present see that she was as steady as Mount Tai. From this, they could see the difference between the two girls.
The student from Provincial No.2 Middle School who was the first to speak had a spiteful tongue. She was so shallow as if she did not know the immensity of heaven and earth[1].
The student from Provincial No.1 Middle School spoke in an orderly manner. She handled the “cheating” calmly and did not refute the other student’s aggressiveness. Instead, she explained her situation intelligibly before leaving the right and wrong judgment to the leaders. Just this matter alone made it clear that the two students had different personalities.
“Just now, I was doing the questions more and more smoothly, so I didn’t precisely control my speed to complete them in an hour. I was about ten minutes faster than usual. This student from Provincial No. 2 Middle School said that I asked her for answers. I truly do not know which ‘I’ had asked her before.”
I truly do not know which ‘I’ had asked her before. Her words were quite of standard. It could make Ye Ying speechless. It could also let the leaders know that she didn’t want to confront Ye Ying directly. This was to prevent a conflict from happening and affecting her.
Ye Ying’s lips were pale and cold sweat was dripping down her back.
That wretched girl said that she had finished her exams! No, that was impossible. She does not believe it!
Principal Cao smiled and confirmed, “I can testify to this habit of hers. I even talked to her about it before, telling her not to finish it so early. And told her that she still needs to check her work after she’s done and not be careless.”
“In the end, she said that she submitted her papers after already checking it once. She also said that a habit is hard to change once it’s formed. So, when the student from Provincial No.2 Middle School said that she cheated, I was really shocked.”
“Student from Provincial No.2 Middle School, I want to ask you too. I wonder which ‘Ye Jian’ asked you for answers?”
The leader of the Provincial EduEducation Bureaud at the invigilator in charge of the third examination hall and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly happened at that time? Repeat it again.” Why would a student accuse another student of cheating during the examination?
Does she see the university entrance examination as a joke?!
The invigilator said seriously, “I heard the sound of a chair moving from Ye Ying’s side. I was patrolling on Ye Jian’s lower right side. When I heard the sound, I walked to Ye Ying’s desk and noticed that one of her draft papers was missing. When I saw that she was panicking and that her legs were placed unnaturally, I asked her to lift her leg and saw the answers on the paper.”
“What about Ye Jian? How did she react?”
The invigilator replied calmly, “Ye Jian sealed her exam paper and said to me, ‘Teacher, let’s talk outside. We don’t want to affect the performance of the candidates.’ I immediately brought them here after another invigilator came.”
