Chapter 565 The Last Joint Exam

Since the day of the hundred-day pep rally, all the senior classrooms had a hundred-day countdown on the blackboards at the back.

Although Hai Dong is a relatively economically developed province, it doesn't slack off in education. After all, it doesn't have an 80% undergraduate rate.

The *gaokao* (national college entrance examination) is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and one point can surpass a thousand people.

Some people might ask, will you be surpassed by a thousand people if you score one point less?

Get out of here!

After that, every school experienced a small test every three days and a major exam every five days, including Eleventh High. The teachers basically didn't explain knowledge points anymore. Every day was spent on exams and reviewing after the exams.

There were countless small tests and many big exams.

Chen Yuan and Shi Yi wrote the same test paper a total of four times.

Two city-wide unified exams and two Thirteen School Joint Exams.

Chen Yuan, Shi Yi, and Bai Mingze wrote the same test paper in those two Thirteen School Joint Exams.

When faced with these exams, Chen Yuan slowly digested Lao Ting's legacy, improving his Chinese language skills with each passing test.

In the first unified exam, his and Shi Yi's scores were 722 and 726.

The two of them were far ahead of other students in Xia Hai City.

Even Liu Yiyang, who ranked third, couldn't compare to them.

In the second Thirteen School Joint Exam, Chen Yuan's composition in the Chinese language section was exceptionally good, earning him an unprecedented 58 points, further narrowing the gap with Shi Yi.

He scored 724, Shi Yi 727, and Bai Mingze also 727.

The third city-wide unified exam in April was when Chen Yuan burned to the fullest. Not only did he perform well in Chinese, but his comprehensive science score reached an astonishing 297, almost perfect.

This time, Chen Yuan and Shi Yi achieved a historic tie.

726.

Based on Shi Yi's performance, this score seemed to be his stable level.

However, Shi Yi was also capable of scoring an incredible 727.

In other words, Chen Yuan was still not consistent enough.

The last major exam, the Hai Dong Thirteen School Joint Exam in May.

Was the last simulated trial for the two of them, or rather, the three of them, including Bai Mingze.

Chen Yuan had actually finished the English section half an hour before the exam ended.

Because this exam was relatively easy, two students in the first exam hall handed in their papers early.

In fact, Chen Yuan finished earlier than everyone else.

However, he hadn't handed in his paper early since rushing to attend Xin Yu's parents' funeral.

He was still a challenger.

Especially when facing Bai Mingze, that crazed brother.

Although there was only one Thirteen School Joint Exam in the second semester of senior year where the two of them were on the same platform, according to Cheng Xi's eyes and ears in Hai Zhong, Mingze could score very exaggerated marks in their Ning City exams, worthy of being called the Number One *Baturu* (warrior) of Ning City.

So, at least when facing Shi Yi and Bai Mingze, these two brothers with a strong sense of pressure, he was still a challenger.

Even finding just one point could become the key to victory.

Apart from passively using some of Chao Zi's characteristics, Chen Yuan had long gotten rid of relying on them in terms of studying.

It was all to draw a perfect conclusion to high school with his own strength.

Continue checking.

Even using brainstorming and memory palaces to review the listening materials to check the accuracy of the multiple-choice questions.

And so.

Chen Yuan spent a full half hour reviewing.

Finally, the bell rang at the end of the exam.

He also handed in his paper.

"This joint exam was quite stable."

"Yeah, especially English, it was really ez."

"Accepting disciples, accepting disciples."

"The last major exam is to increase your confidence, it definitely won't be too difficult, don't get carried away." After reminding them, the teacher on the podium walked to Chen Yuan's side and asked curiously, "How were the questions?"

"Although simple, it was not bad," Chen Yuan commented.

Some questions were so simple that they were meaningless.

But this time, just talking about English, although simple, it tested everything that should be tested.

Chen Yuan even felt that this joint exam was closer to the level of the actual *gaokao* compared to the previous exams.

After all, this was the first reform of the national卷 (exam) in recent years. As the first time, it generally wouldn't be too obscure. In order to balance and affect the situation, it was estimated that it would be smoother.

"That's a very high evaluation," the proctor said with a smile. "This time, I think you'll surpass Shi Yi."

When an ordinary high school produces a super powerful student, that student belongs to more than just his homeroom teacher, Lao Mo.

For all the senior teachers in the school, it's a highlight.

Now, the entire Eleventh High faculty is looking forward to Chen Yuan achieving his first victory in the competition with Shi Yi.

After all, he hadn't surpassed him once before.

The closest he got was a tie last time.

"That's for sure, I'll definitely take it," Chen Yuan said confidently, making an okay gesture.

"Okay, I bet a meal with Teacher Zhou, I'm counting on you."

Damn, there's a gambler.

"Okay."

After packing up his exam supplies and putting them in a transparent bag, Chen Yuan prepared to return to the dormitory.

At this moment, Tang Siwen, who came out of the second exam hall, ran into him.

Tang Siwen had always been at the level of the third exam hall, but last time, she suddenly burst forth and got 60th place, just making it into the second exam hall.

This was also the closest the two exam halls had ever been.

Lao Tang, she's getting stronger.

"Going to eat?"

As expected of our Tang Shen, the first sentence is definitely about grabbing something to eat.

"Okay, let's go directly then."

Chen Yuan originally wanted to go back to the dorm first, and then eat with a few guys. But since he could run into Lao Tang, that was the same.

The Holy Son and Holy Daughter group.

"This time's English was quite easy," Tang Siwen said.

"Yeah, but the comprehensive science made up for it, the overall difficulty should be about the same as before," Chen Yuan said.

"I hope I can maintain the top sixty this time," Tang Siwen said with some anticipation.

"If it's you, you definitely can," Chen Yuan said, patting her on the shoulder in approval.

"Yeah, I'm only a little bit away from Xin Yu," Tang Siwen said, making a gesture, quite looking forward to it.

"If I could bring..."

Chen Yuan stopped himself.

Ugh, what am I thinking?

It would be great if I could bring two girls to Hua Qing and Ji Da (top universities)?

I can't believe I'm saying these words.

The admissions office would be stunned: Two, are they both girlfriends?

What should I do, my reply would be, both of them are.

"What did you want to say?" Tang Siwen asked, tilting her head, a little puzzled.

"Nothing, let's go eat."

And so, the two of them went to the cafeteria.

Coincidentally, they ran into Lao Mo, who was having dinner at school.

"Wait for me."

Chen Yuan said to Tang Siwen, who was queuing with him, and then approached Lao Mo, who was getting food, and asked with a curious look, "Teacher, what is this?"

"This is pig trotters, you can eat them."

Lao Mo smiled, then swiped his card again, got another bowl from the person, and handed it to Chen Yuan.

"Thank you, teacher." Chen Yuan happily took it, then turned his head, glanced at Tang Siwen, and muttered, "Tang Siwen came with me..."

It was rare to encounter these two at dinner, what else could Lao Mo say, he got Chen Yuan another portion of sliced boiled chicken and handed it to him: "You two can eat together."

"Thank you, teacher!"

And so, Chen Yuan, who had won spoils of war here, returned to Tang Siwen's side.

The two of them queued up, ordered some more things, and then enjoyed this rich dinner that was half sponsored by Lao Mo.

"Eating so well? Let me have a bite."

Then, Zhou Yu came over, sat directly next to Chen Yuan, and started picking up pig trotters.

"Stealing food? Disgusting, let's punish you."

He Si Jiao also sat next to Tang Siwen, and then picked up sliced boiled chicken and sent it to her mouth.

"You two dogs have really sensitive noses," Chen Yuan said.

"How many days are left, isn't it less than a month?" He Si Jiao asked.

"The *gaokao* is on the 6th, 7th, and 8th, you calculate," Chen Yuan thought for a while and said, "There are 22 days left."

"That's scary, only three weeks," He Si Jiao said in amazement.

"Ha yi--" Zhou Yu yawned and said wearily, "This time has been passing by really fast, a day is gone in the blink of an eye."

"I feel like I might not be able to open my eyes if I close them recently," He Si Jiao sighed and then lay on the table, turning into a real Flat Face jpg.

"Jiao Jiao is quite humorous," Chen Yuan said.

"You can call her Jiao!" Zhou Yu said anxiously.

"I heard Teacher Mo say just now." At this moment, Tang Siwen, who had put a chopstick in her mouth and ate a piece of meat, opened her mouth and said, "In order to have the same routine as the *gaokao*, starting tomorrow, school will start at eight in the morning and end at five thirty in the afternoon."

"Damn, really?" He Si Jiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Awesome, awesome!" Zhou Yu was also happy, clenched his fists, and said excitedly, "Great, the school finally did something human."

"Then I can get a good night's sleep tomorrow!"

"Damn it, great. It's so great..."

"?" Only Chen Yuan, frowned, looking at Tang Siwen with some confusion.

What the hell, really?

Did you just talk to Lao Mo?

Tang Siwen, who had chopsticks in her mouth, was stunned when she saw the two of them who were so excited.

At the same time, she revealed a hint of panic.

She had never been good at joking, so she looked very serious.

So she also learned to say some jokes.

For example, just now, it was a joke...

However, because Tang Siwen said it too seriously, it seemed like these two were directly convinced.

How should she explain now... that she was just joking?

Tang Siwen was embarrassed.

If she said it directly, would he be a little disappointed?

At this time, she saw Chen Yuan winking at her, conveying information with his eyes: Don't expose it, I'll handle it.

Eh? Why can I read such specific information from Chen Yuan's eyes?

But since that's the case, let's listen to him...

…

The next day, the alarm clock rang.

Zhou Yu opened his eyes drowsily and then shouted, "What the hell, turn off the alarm clock, don't let people rest."

"?" Zhang Chao was stunned.

"Let's go brush our teeth," Chen Yuan waved his hand and said to Zhang Chao.

So, everyone ignored Zhou Yu and went to brush their teeth together.

Of course, they definitely couldn't be bad enough to make him late.

So, after everyone had washed up, excreted, peed, and dressed, they stood in front of Zhou Yu together.

After patting Zhou Yu's face, Chen Yuan urged, "Get up, Yu Zi."

"What." Zhou Yu, who was naked, was annoyed, looked at Chen Yuan dazedly, and was just about to scold when he suddenly realized that these people, including Gu Chuan from the first grade, were all wearing school uniforms and standing in front of him.

"B-But isn't school at eight o'clock?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Yuan in confusion and asked.

"Ah?" Zhang Chao.

"Are you out of your mind? Eight o'clock? What young master can sleep until eight o'clock?" Tang Jian thought Zhou Yu was a complete idiot.

"Chen Yuan, isn't it eight o'clock?" Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, "Didn't Lao Mo tell Tang Siwen to change the schedule, school at eight o'clock..."

"No, are you serious, brother?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan laughed directly: "Tang Shen was joking."
