Chapter 153 Adjustment

Time ticked by, bit by bit.

The difficulty of the questions also increased gradually.

This time, Chen Yuan felt a slight pressure.

Fortunately, it was just slight.

At the current pace, he should be able to finish.

But whether he would have any time to check the paper was hard to say.

Of course, he couldn't count on a final check.

So, on his first run, Chen Yuan tried his best to get all the questions right. At the same time, he tried to fill out the answer sheet as neatly as possible, avoiding filling it crookedly or incorrectly.

Gently biting his lip, Chen Yuan's mood gradually became tense as he wrote.

Then, he stopped.

Was Chen Yuan stumped?

The proctor looked at Chen Yuan below the podium, somewhat surprised.

Although he wasn't from No. 11 High School, he knew this student and was well aware of his level.

He saw him stop, close his eyes, and take shallow breaths to adjust his breathing. After about thirty seconds, his state gradually relaxed.

Then, he continued writing.

Even a student like him gets nervous, the gaokao is truly cruel.

Damn it, writing a gaokao paper is so intense.

Go for it with confidence.

Earlier, when Chen Yuan's thoughts were blocked, he was indeed a little flustered. But after adjusting, his train of thought was quickly straightened out.

Those thirty seconds were like adjusting his stance before moving forward.

He continued to write.

The difficulty of the comprehensive science section caused many people to have headaches. Even some of the top students in the exam hall found it difficult to finish all the questions.

With only fifteen minutes left, some people simply gave up exploring further.

They went back to the multiple-choice questions they were unsure of and checked their papers.

This involved a choice—what kind of score to aim for.

How to make the most of these precious fifteen minutes.

But Chen Yuan wasn't an ordinary top student; he wouldn't give up on finishing the comprehensive science section.

Just like that, in the last three minutes, when many people began to flip their answer sheets and repeatedly check their multiple-choice questions, Chen Yuan completed all the questions.

The first step was to check if the answers on the answer sheet matched the answers on the test paper.

Okay, no discrepancies.

Then, check if any answers on the test paper were marked as C but mistakenly filled in as B…

Damn, there really was one.

While checking, Chen Yuan found a physics multiple-choice question where he had made such a low-level mistake.

A whole damn 4 points!

One mistake like that would directly hand over the top spot to Shi Yi!

Quickly, Chen Yuan erased the answer on the answer sheet with the eraser that Bei Gu had given him and refilled it correctly.

Finally, he checked the multiple-choice questions one last time.

Okay, no problems.

Fill-in-the-blanks…

While browsing, when he saw the last one, the bell rang.

"Stop writing, all students stop writing."

After ensuring everything was foolproof, Chen Yuan decisively put down his pen.

Although he had made a risky move in the last two minutes, he had fortunately made up for it. And after checking, there were indeed no more problems.

This was the gaokao.

Full of charm.

Charm my ass!

It almost turned me into a ghost too, how terrifying.

In any case, this exam had finally landed smoothly.

Taking his belongings and leaving the classroom, Chen Yuan's mood finally relaxed.

Compared to stable subjects like English and mathematics, the comprehensive science section really wasn't his specialty.

If he was going to lose to Shi Yi, it would only be in this subject.

Of course, this time he was confident that he could make up for it in the Chinese language section.

Mathematics, on the other hand, would definitely be a tie.

Therefore, English, a subject he excelled in, had become the key to victory.

The final game after a BO5 of 2:2.

The war anthem began!

After leaving the exam hall, Chen Yuan saw three science teachers from the school, who had been talking with students, suddenly pause. Then, they all turned their gaze towards him.

Damn…

What are you guys doing?

Chen Yuan was a little nervous, not knowing what they were up to.

But since the teachers were looking at him, he walked over and greeted them proactively.

"How was it?" Xiao Yang, the most authoritative of them, spoke first, directly asking Chen Yuan without any preamble.

The biology and chemistry teachers next to him also seemed to be preparing to transform into terminators, looking a little off, not very normal.

"…" After a moment of pause, the teachers' emotions were stretched to their most tense state. Seeing this, he immediately said, "I basically finished everything, and there weren't any particularly tricky questions."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yang relaxed because he had the pride of a special-grade teacher and didn't want Chen Yuan's physics to be too weak, causing him to lose to Shi Yi.

As for the remaining two teachers, who didn't have as much authority in the school, they were purely afraid that Chen Yuan would underperform in their subject.

If the other five subjects were fine, but he underperformed in their subject alone, the pressure would be immense.

He might even get a severe scolding from He Hongtao.

After all, the only highlight of this year's examination candidates was Chen Yuan.

Everyone else was unimportant.

All the attention was focused on Chen Yuan's four exams.

I can do nothing, but I absolutely cannot make a mistake.

Whichever of the six subjects Chen Yuan excelled in more than Shi Yi, the teacher of that subject would be proud.

Whichever subject he was weaker in than Shi Yi, that teacher would feel the pressure.

If one subject was too weak and became a breakthrough point… sweating profusely, you know?

"Then, can you get a perfect score in biology?" the biology teacher asked expectantly.

Chen Yuan had basically scored perfectly in biology in his recent exams.

Only once did he lose four points, writing a multiple-choice question incorrectly.

At that time, the biology teacher had already been so nervous that his back was soaked.

So, this time, he absolutely had to avoid making mistakes in biology.

"This is a guaranteed win." To this, Chen Yuan gave an okay sign. "The biology this time was really just average, mainly chemistry and physics, those had something to them."

"Great!" Clenching his fist, the biology teacher took off right there and then.

The light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains!

So great, really great.

Going back to open a beer to celebrate!

"What about physics?" Xiao Yang asked especially seriously.

"Um… I didn't have time to check. The multiple-choice questions are definitely fine," Chen Yuan said.

"Then that's alright. You're definitely fine."

Xiao Yang was relieved as soon as Chen Yuan finished writing.

As long as this kid can finish, his score will definitely not be low.

"What about chemistry?" the chemistry teacher asked.

"There was one question…"

Before Chen Yuan could finish speaking, Sherry Liu hurriedly ran over, waving her hand and saying, "Don't compare answers, don't compare answers, the exam isn't over yet!"

After speaking, she directly grabbed Chen Yuan's arm and led him to the side, then said to the other teachers, "The exam isn't over yet, the last subject is English, I need to remind him of a few things."

"…" The chemistry teacher was stunned in place, his mind was numb.

Just bullying me because I'm not an associate senior, right!

What kind of people are these, what kind of people!

"Why were you comparing answers just now? Don't you care about English at all?" Grabbing Chen Yuan's arm, as if she was bringing a younger brother, Sherry said with a pout.

Oh my, you're so cute too.

Almost as cute as He Sijiao.

"No, the teachers were asking, so I just said a few things," Chen Yuan explained.

"Then, did you do well on the previous ones?" Sherry Liu asked curiously.

"They were really good," Chen Yuan said happily.

"Ah? Is that so…" Sherry Liu visibly lowered her spirits.

"Teacher, your reaction is very impolite."

"Ah no, I'm happy for you, very happy for you." Sherry Liu quickly squeezed out a smile, then said, "There's one last English exam, let me remind you of a few more things."

"Okay, Sherry, tell me."

Just like that, Sherry Liu and Chen Yuan stood close together, still holding his arm, as they walked and talked.

Why isn't Liu Xin paying attention to her influence at all?

She's not much older than Chen Yuan, how can they be walking together so intimately?

Standing at the edge of the school gate, Old Mo watched Liu Xin and Chen Yuan's intimate actions and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

But since they're talking about serious matters, then never mind.

Just like that, he stood here waiting for Chen Yuan to come over.

The two of them walked and talked, and Chen Yuan didn't know if he had told a joke, but he directly made Liu Xin laugh. After she covered her mouth and laughed, she patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, as if to say: Hey, I'm talking about serious matters with you, what are you joking about…

Chen Yuan is really something, although Liu Xin is a teacher, she's also a young woman.

Be mindful of your boundaries.

"Teacher Liu." At this time, Old Mo spoke.

"Teacher Mo."

Liu Xin was stunned. After seeing Old Mo, she quickly smiled and nodded, then also let go of Chen Yuan's arm and said to Chen Yuan, "Remember, your strength will definitely allow you to finish the paper early, so before the listening comprehension, read all the materials and make marks."

"Got it." Chen Yuan gave an okay sign, indicating that he understood.

Sherry Liu was right.

He was definitely able to finish the paper, and every time he had more than 20 minutes left.

And the listening comprehension was only played once and couldn't be reviewed, unlike other types of questions, so he should try his best to get it right in one go.

"How is it, are you alright?" Old Mo asked.

"Yeah, no problem. Just looking at the last exam now," Chen Yuan said.

"Okay, let's go eat and rest…" Saying this, Old Mo was also a little embarrassed as he said, "Teacher Che Shujun is here too."

"My martial arts master's wife is here? Where is she?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Outside the school," Old Mo said, "Giving you guys some encouragement."

"Alright, then I'll say hello to my martial arts master's wife."

Just like that, Chen Yuan followed Old Mo out of the school.

Then, he saw Teacher Che Shujun wearing a green qipao, and next to her was Xiao Doudou wearing a small qipao, so he immediately went forward.

"Chen Yuan, how was it?" Teacher Che Shujun said with a smile.

"It was alright, martial arts master's wife."

While responding, Chen Yuan went forward. Xiao Doudou saw him and also ran over quickly. Just like that, he directly picked up Xiao Doudou and held her in his arms, using the infant holding posture.

Old Mo, who was watching his daughter being like his younger sister, also found it quite amusing.

Just then, a microphone and a camera were shoved right in their faces.

"Hello, student Chen Yuan." The female reporter hurriedly greeted.

Are you trying to catch me?

Chen Yuan was startled.

But out of politeness, he still said, "Hello."

"Are these your parents?" the reporter asked.

"Ah no, this is my martial arts master's wife, this is my homeroom teacher." Chen Yuan, who was holding Xiao Doudou, said with a smile, "This is Xiao Doudou."

"Oh, then how do you feel about finishing this exam?" the female reporter continued to ask.

"Um… it was alright, I'm just preparing for the next one, after all, the gaokao isn't over yet," Chen Yuan said.

It's not good to celebrate halfway through.

Chen Yuan was still very steady.

But looking at the other party's appearance, she really wanted him to open the champagne.

"Then, do you have anything to say to the other candidates?" the female reporter continued.

"Good luck on the exam, strive to suc… take it down," Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"Then…"

"Let's be interviewed next time, he still has to go eat." Seeing that the other party was taking up too much time, Old Mo urged.

"Then…" The reporter was a little anxious because Chen Yuan hadn't said anything sensational yet, saying everything quite normally, so she said somewhat suggestively, "You said yesterday after the math exam that you were more skilled, so how would you evaluate today's sci…"

"Alright, what are you making the student say? Don't you know how much pressure there is from public opinion right now?!" Old Mo got angry on the spot.

The female reporter was startled. Realizing that she was being suggestive, she didn't dare to say more, and apologized somewhat nervously, "Then I won't bother student Chen Yuan… I wish you good luck on the gaokao…"

"You can release this interview with what I'm about to say and you'll be able to hand it in," Chen Yuan said, seeing that the female reporter was almost crying.

"…Um, go ahead," the female reporter said nervously.

"I will win."

After putting Xiao Doudou down and confidently saying these words to the camera, Chen Yuan patted her shoulder and left with a smile.

The female reporter didn't know why the three words "I will win" were enough to hand in…

But after Chen Yuan patted her shoulder, she couldn't hold back anymore.

Sniffling, tears were about to come out.

Being yelled at just now was indeed a little sad…

But after being comforted and understood by Chen Yuan, she suddenly realized that she was indeed too utilitarian and a little too much…

And Chen Yuan's character is truly great.

"Then martial arts master's wife, teacher, and Xiao Doudou, goodbye."

After waving goodbye to Old Mo's family, Chen Yuan took a taxi and went to the hotel to have lunch with Xia Xinyu.

After the two met, they gave each other a very tacit high five.

"Looks like it went well?" Chen Yuan looked at Xia Xinyu and asked with a smile.

"Although it was a little difficult, I was more skilled." Xia Xinyu said with particular confidence, "No problem."

"Alright, then there's only the last one left."

Chen Yuan was relieved by Xia Xinyu's state.

It seemed that both of them had done quite well on the first three exams.

If the most variable math and science subjects were resolved, then the last English exam wasn't much of a problem.

The two of them quickly finished lunch, then rested well at the hotel.

For the last exam, they would continue to take it down step by step!
