Chapter 46: Blank Answer Sheet
Other than Luo Songhua, there was another teacher who was rumored to be in cahoots with her.
Luo Songhua looked around at the entire classroom of students and laughed. “It must come as a surprise that I’m invigilating you.”
No one said anything as each student ignored Luo Songhua.
Luo Songhua threw the examination papers on the table and said coldly, “Listen up, the lot of you. If anyone dares to cheat today, I will make sure your records are even more colorful than they are now.”
Gu Mang cupped her chin with her hand as the fingers on her other hand twirled her pen.
Her phoenix eyes looked a little wicked and wild as she stared at Luo Songhua.
Luo Songhua and the other teacher started to give out the papers after the sound of a bell signalled the start of the examinations.
The first exam was Chinese.
When Meng Jinyang got the paper and looked through it, she couldn’t help but notice the classical Chinese text and she froze.
Wasn’t this the question that had appeared on the paper Gu Mang made her do two days ago?
It was the same, but with the answer choice order in different places. Thankfully, multiple choice questions were a boon for Class Twenty.
After scanning through the multiple-choice questions, Meng Jinyang realized that she had done half of the question on this paper before but the reading and composition section were different.
She only needed to glance through the questions before writing down all the answers.
Gu Mang got her paper, frowned, and stared at it for a few seconds before she took up her pen and began to fill in her answers.
Lu Yang and his two buddies were hopelessly confounded but writing something down for Chinese at least gave them a few marks.
Luo Songhua walked around the classroom and stared at every single person. At any slight movement, she dashed to the table, and when she found nothing suspicious, she would warn them to behave themselves.
Gu Mang filled in all the blanks in her paper in an hour. Upon completion, she threw down her pen and slumped down on the table to sleep.
Two and a half hours flew by.
At the sound of the bell that indicated the end of the exam, Meng Jinyang handed in her paper and went to find Gu Mang.
She was about to speak when Gu Mang leaned close and pressed a pale, slender finger to her lips. “Shh.”
The girl’s eyes were bright, dark and thoroughly clear and penetrating.
Meng Jinyang was stunned and stared at her blankly.
Gu Mang said, “Let’s go eat.”
Lu Yang swore as he walked over to Gu Mang’s side. “F*ck! I couldn’t use the cheat sheet I made!”
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and said nothing.
Fatty asked, “What did you choose for the multiple-choice questions?”
Meng Jinyang said her answers.
Lu Yang, Chu Yao, and Fatty exclaimed in unison, “We don’t have any of the same answers!”
Meng Jinyang was speechless.
…
For the next three papers, Meng Jinyang realized that most of the questions had been in the papers that Gu Mang had given her.
Restraining her wildly beating heart, she answered the questions cautiously.
Every time Luo Songhua collected the papers, she smirked when she saw, with the exception of the multiple-choice questions, one blank answer sheet after another.
She was going to win!
…
On the afternoon after the exams ended, Gu Mang called Xi Yan to ask for leave so that she could go out to buy stuff.
Lu Yang overheard this conversation and asked for leave as well, pestering Gu Mang to let him go out with her.
Anyway, the examinations were over now, so it was useless to lament about his answer sheets. He’d rather look for an opportunity to cover Luo Songhua with a burlap sack and beat her to vent his anger.
The pair rode public transport to Starlight Plaza.
Gu Mang was clad entirely in black. She pushed the brim of her cap down and walked towards the mall with her hands in her pockets with a careless, languid attitude.
Lu Yang said, “Sister Mang, what’re you here to buy?”
Gu Mang licked her lips. Her pink tongue peeked out between them before retracting.
This sight stunned Lu Yang for a few seconds. When he snapped back to reality, his ears were burning slightly.
The young woman said nonchalantly, “Something to eat.”
