Pay Attention To Me

Chapter 37

Early Monday morning, the classroom was as turbulent as ever.

The various subject representatives rushed around collecting homework, other people rushed around copying copy homework, and a few rushed to stuff steamed buns into their mouths.

During the morning reading session, Wu GuoZhong announced the upcoming final exam period with great energy, "There are just two weeks left, so collect yourselves and concentrate. Don't think about the cultural festival or the New Year's Day holidays anymore, that's all in the past.

These final exams will be the district unified exams, so we'll get a district ranking. The time has finally come to reveal the strength of our First High students, don't make me lose face......"

In the entirety of Xi Cheng, First High was the bellwether¹, always leading in this kind of district unified exam by a wide margin. The students also cared about their own individual rankings, so after hearing Lao Wu's words, they really became a bit nervous.

That nervousness lasted for about five minutes.

After the reading session ended, those who had to finish eating breakfast went back to eating and those who had to finish chatting went back to chatting.

However, the teachers racked their brains to come up with a way to build a sense of tension before the final exams. In English class, Xu BeiNi handed out a set of test papers as soon as she entered the classroom, basically as a pop quiz.

"You better not have forgotten everything over your little vacation. The final exam is at hand, tongxue. If you don't score at least an 80% on this test, plenty of practice problems are ready and waiting for you."

Zhou HaoLiang muttered, "So cruel, five points per question and if you get five questions wrong, you fail."

He went to pass the answer sheets back, but as he turned around, he accidentally bumped into his deskmate and the corner of one of the remaining answer sheets bent.

"Ah! Sorry, Che Ge, this......"

"It's fine, I can still use it." Yin Che wasn't bothered, taking the answer sheet.

Zhou HaoLiang finally believed what Zhang Ke had said, that Yin Che actually wasn't that bad to talk to.

The last two answer sheets, one with a bent corner and one completely flat, were divided between the last two people. Yin Che dropped the one with the folded corner and silently threw the other answer sheet on Jiang Yao's desk.

Jiang Yao reached over his arm and took the one on his desk, "I want this one."

"......you crazy?" Yin Che stretched out his hand to grab it.

Jiang Yao leaned in towards his ear, "You want to go to the office hand-in-hand with me again?"

The last time when the two of them fought over a paper in math class and were called out by Chen ShuMei to be punished, in the end being forced to hold hands on the way to the office, was still vivid in his mind.

He had to put consideration for the surrounding circumstances above his instincts.

Yin Che retreated immediately, "You aren't allowed to snatch my stuff again."

Jiang Yao laughed, "If I snatch it, how will you take care of me?"

The mind of Zhou HaoLiang in the row in front of them was full of question marks. What the hell? Why are they fighting over a damaged answer sheet?

Just like that, one morning passed.

After experiencing the brainwashing and bombardment from their teachers in various subjects, the students' heads were spinning, finally full of fear of being dominated by the final exams.
