277 277 The Monthly Exam
âWow, what an experience.â After the test, Li Li was so excited that she couldnât even sit, âXiaorouâ¦. you know? I actually knew the answers to those questions. I wouldnât have imagined doing such difficult physics questions in the past!â
Tan Rou smiled and said, âYou are a smart girl. Itâs just that your usual problem-solving skills are more stubborn, which is why you canât write the more flexible topics in the exam.â
âYou really are a superb teacher!â Li Li felt grateful to Tan Rou. âIâll have to learn more from you in the future.â
Conversely, Zhao Ru and He Ling also asked Tan Jing how she did in the exam. Tan Jing answered all the questions perfectly. She just didnât have enough time to finish writing the last question, but there was still a great possibility of achieving the ranking.
Tan Jing said modestly, âIt was a little difficult, but I wrote it all out as best I could, so it should be good.â
âJingjing, youâre amazing!â A girl came over and joined them. âI gave up when I saw the seventh question, and I really donât have the brain.â
âThatâs right, I saw the test paper and fell asleep. This physics competition is not something we should participate in.â
âJingjing, this time, you will definitely be first.â
Tan Jing was telling them they should not exaggerate, but deep inside, he was secretly delighted. He could not wait for them to praise her a few more times.
âDeceitful!â Li Li quietly said, âXiao Rou, letâs not be bothered with her. The first place is definitely yours.â
Why would Tan Rou be bothered by what Tan Jing said? The results were not out yet, so they must wait for it to be released.
âDonât think about it.â Tan Rou said to Li Li.
âJust prepare for tomorrowâs monthly exam. It has already been dragged on for so long. If we donât do it now, weâll have our holidays soon.â
âOf course. I think I can get into the top fifteen in the class this time on the monthly exam.â Li Li spoke excitedly.
Tan Rou raised an eyebrow, âIf you improve your physics, you may be in the top ten.â
******
Li Li was full of confidence as she majestically walked into the exam hall.
When Tan Jing got the papers, she was dumbfounded. She had been so occupied with all the other errands that she couldnât study for the exam. There were even a few where she couldnât answer at all.
For the physics competition, she could find the questions from the workbooks but not for the monthly exams, which the teachers from their school prepared. They couldnât find the questions ahead of time.
The more nervous Tan Jing was, the more she couldnât answer them. She couldnât answer her physics paper properly even though it was one of her best subjects.
âThis monthly exam is so difficult!â Zhao Ru complained.
He Ling was also sad, âHow could the school make this paper so difficult?â Then, she turned around and asked, âJing Jing, how did you do in the exam?â
Tan Jing is annoyed. What she hated the most now was others asking her how she did in her exam. After hearing what He Ling asked, Tan Jing got annoyed and answered, âDo not ask that again.â
He Ling was stunned, âJingjing, did you not do well in the exam?â
Tan Jing stood and said fiercely, âIâm going to the bathroom.â
Zhao Ru and He Ling are also confused. They had just asked a simple question as to whether she did well in her exams. Why was she so mad?
Wei Ling laughed secretly as she thought to herself. Tan Jing had been so busy stirring up drama that she wouldnât have the time to study. When the results are released, it will definitely be time for Tan Jing to cry.
When Tan Jing went out, she happened to meet Song Lin, who saw that she looked unhappy and thought she was being bullied by Tan Rou again.
âJingjing, whatâs wrong?â Song Lin asked with concern.
When Tan Jing saw that it was Song Lin, the unhappiness on her face was suppressed, she remembered the bet and asked Song Lin: âSong Lin, do you still remember the bet you made with Tan Rou about the competition?â
Of course, he remembered it as he said happily, âDonât worry, Jingjing! I did well this time. Those questions were so easy, and I even came out from the hall earlier than expected.â
When Tan Jing heard Song Lin say this, she was slightly relieved. If Song Lin did well in the exam and surpassed Tan Rou, she would feel a lot more comfortable even if she didnât do well in the exam.
âThatâs good.â Tan Jing said with a smile. âIn fact, I do not necessarily want you to do well in the exam, just that you have bet with Tan Rou. If you loseâ¦â
âNever!â Song Lin was very conceited. âI will not lose; you just wait. I will definitely get Tan Rou to apologize to you.â
Tan Jing blushed slightly and said good-naturedly, âThank you, Song Lin.â
Song Lin was delighted to see this. âWell, you know who you are to me. Your matters are also mine as well.â
