Chapter 202: You Wrote the Answers on the Paper?
Everyone was silent after Gu Mang spoke. Even the students who were looking in her direction with complicated looks were silent.
No matter how good Gu Mang was, she could not be better than Gu Yin. One got zero for everything while the other was a curve wrecker whose scores exceeded 700 points. Hehe. Did she think she was Meng Jinyang?
Qin Yaozhi returned with notebooks and placed them on Gu Mang’s table. She said with all seriousness, “Sister Gu Mang, good luck! I believe in you. These are notes from the Capital University Affiliated High School.”
Gu Mang shot a glance at the notebook as she raised her eyebrows irreverently. She looked wicked and wild. Lu Yang turned to look at Meng Jinyang. He began organizing his books swiftly as though he were escaping overnight.
Carrying his books, he took a pen and said in one go, “Jinyang, let’s change our seats. There are more than ten days left until the exams. Sister Mang’s studies are now dependent on you.”
After that he patted Meng Jinyang’s shoulders as though he were entrusting her with a huge responsibility. He then walked to the front towards Meng Jinyang’s seat with determination. Meng Jinyang shot a glance at Lu Yang before turning to look at Gu Mang as the corner of her lips twitched slightly.
During Chemistry class in the first period, Xi Yan entered and saw that Lu Yang and Meng Jinyang had changed seats. She did not say anything and began her lessons.
Meng Jinyang flipped open the resources for the second round of revision.
When Xi Yan turned around to write the chemical equations, Meng Jinyang shot a glance at Gu Mang from the corner of her eyes. She could not resist the urge to ask, “Have you really decided to score well this time around?”
Gu Mang supported her chin with her hands. Her eyes were filled with cynicism as she nodded. Some people would not make a u-turn until they hit a dead end. She did not mind them forcefully hitting hers on the wall. It would save time.
Meng Jinyang let out a smile as she whispered, “You wrote the answers on my paper?”
She was unsure if it was Gu Mang’s handwriting because it was quite ugly.
However, the handwriting on her paper was beautiful and neat. Gu Mang did not respond and Meng Jinyang treated her silence as acknowledgment.
“The handwriting isn’t similar.” A long time ago she had suspected that Gu Mang wrote the answers on her paper for questions that she did not understand. However, she could not be certain. It happened till that day in the Seal Palace.
Gu Mang mentioned that one would know the tricks if they practiced enough questions. From there, she was certain that Gu Mang was the one who wrote the answers for her. Mr. Lu must have guessed it too.
When Gu Mang heard her talking about the handwriting, she smiled and said lazily, “Which type of handwriting do you like? I’ll change it next time.”
She found it hard to understand when she first started learning medicine. Theoretical understanding did not equate to practical experience. She felt vexed at that time and consuming candies did not help so she practiced handwriting. She learned to write in over twenty styles for fun. Her handwriting changed depending on her mood.
Meng Jinyang tried to suppress her laughter and did not ask her friend why she loved to score zeroes. She whispered to Gu Mang like a young girl telling secrets, “I knew it.”
She knew that Gu Mang was not someone who could only score zeroes.
Gu Mang raised an exquisite eyebrow as her eyes landed right on Xi Yan who was writing the chemical equation on the blackboard.
…
Gu Mang said, “Will score better next time.” Her words were spread by an unknown classmate in Class Twenty. The whole Year Three cohort was talking about it.
In Class One.
Jianghuai leaned on a side table beside Gu Yin as he read the news from the chat groups and forum. She then chuckled, “Yinyin, Gu Mang said that she will score better next time.”
Gu Yin’s deskmate was looking at the teacher explaining the question. When she heard what Jianghuai said, she lifted her head and let out a laugh. “She said that she will score better next time?”
One girl sitting in front heard it too and turned around. The look of disdain was evident on her face. “She said that she will score better. Are you sure that she is not talking about scoring a single digit next time?”
