“He Xiao, this…”

In the office, Director Huang opened his mouth with some difficulty.

Before he could finish, He Hongtao raised his hand to interrupt, "Forget it, the exam is the day after tomorrow. Let them make a fuss."

This wasn't exactly like Fourth High.

With Fourth High's strict military discipline, it was impossible for them to create such a commotion.

But the tradition of throwing test papers before exams did exist at Eleventh High, and many good schools had it too.

Since it hadn't caused too much of a bad influence, so be it.

Of course, there was some impact.

Every year, the school had to reluctantly pay overtime to the cleaning ladies at this time to clean up the mess.

"I'm talking about Chen Yuan…"

Director Huang couldn't help but say.

Throwing test papers before exams was too normal; it happened everywhere in the country.

But students occupying the broadcasting room…

Even for Chen Yuan, it was a bit too impulsive.

"Hey," He Hongtao, sitting on the swivel chair, waved his hand with a smile. "Don't say that. The whole-school chorus is quite meaningful. How many times does a student get to experience something like this in high school? Probably only once."

"Then what do we say? The broadcasting station teacher is a little angry."

"Just say the school authorized it. Don't make too much of it."

Since He Hongtao was covering for him, Director Huang didn't say anything else.

But as the director of the Education Department, he had to express his position.

After all, in general perception, the Education Department was an organization that opposed students.

Anything students advocated, the Education Department opposed.

And so, Director Huang left the principal's office with a little bit of helplessness.

And He Hongtao, after he left, took out his phone and quietly turned on the sound.

"On windy days, I tried holding your hand,
But the rain grew so heavy that I couldn't see you,
How long until I can be by your side…"

On the local Douyin, he could already see the whole-school chorus.

And in just a few minutes, it had thousands of likes.

Countless flickering lights on the teaching building, students crowding the hallways singing loudly, and white test papers flying in the breeze under the streetlights…

Eleventh High was trending.

Then, he opened the comments section.

The top-rated comment:

Wanzi-flavored Gummy Candy: The picture of the broadcasting room staff at this moment is The Shawshank Redemption.

Walnut Yaris: Broadcaster: Don't panic, just buy a membership.

Little Fireworks: Isn't living for moments like these? Tearing up.

Sixteen-year-old Magic Girl: "The best university is in the longing of high school, the best high school is in the memories of university."

Fran's Man-Faced Dog: To have this kind of atmosphere, it also shows that the school's principal is very open-minded.

Seeing this comment, He Hongtao gave it a like without even thinking.

Then he opened the reply.

White Peach Oolong: This is our Eleventh High's Principal He Hongtao. He is a really good principal. We all like him very much!

"..."

Looking at his phone, the corners of He Hongtao's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, almost being baited into a big smile.

Then, he coughed twice and criticized, "Hey, which class is this? Playing Douyin at school?"

It had to be said that this year was quite lively because of Chen Yuan.

But what was a little worrying was that this was the weakest graduating class in recent years.

Even with bonus points, none of the high-scoring students reached 700 points.

Although the percentage of students entering top universities had increased, and the number of prestigious universities was still decent, there was ultimately less opportunity for promotion…

Suddenly, a faint sadness washed over him. He Hongtao sighed and said, "Ah, such a worry."

………

"Damn, Yuan, awesome."

When Chen Yuan returned from the broadcasting room, everyone he knew praised his bravery.

Chen Yuan responded with a smile, nodding and saying, "Hey, Zhou Fu is awesome too."

"Amazing, you pulled off such a big stunt?"

"It was alright, Zhou Fu did it too."

All the way, whenever someone praised Chen Yuan, this guy would bring her up too…

Zhou Fu, standing to the side, could only glare at him secretly, puffing out her cheeks and complaining unhappily, "If I had known you were going to make me take the blame, I wouldn't have come."

"How could it be taking the blame? I just wanted to accomplish this great feat with you."

"Then why didn't you call Tang Siwen?"

"Wouldn't that be harming her?"

"What a double standard! Go to hell!"

Zhou Fu wished she could strangle this guy.

But it was also her own fault.

Why couldn't she help but speak in the broadcasting room?

She even revealed her name.

Now, she couldn't escape responsibility.

"Will the teachers scold us?" Zhou Fu asked worriedly.

"Hmm…" Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "47 and Cheng Haiying did it too."

"Indeed, we should drag those two in to take the blame too." Zhou Fu thought it was a good idea, but suddenly she remembered, "But didn't you say you would take the blame?"

"I was just saying it. I didn't really mean to."

Brothers, I'm just kidding.

The two returned to Class 18 like that.

By this time, the fun time was over.

"Everyone, come into the classroom." Lao Mo said to Zhang Chao.

And so, Zhang Chao called everyone into the classroom, including Chen Yuan and Zhou Fu, who were being mobbed by everyone.

Seeing these two, Lao Mo didn't say anything.

He'd see what the principal said.

But with the principal's protective nature, he might be even more tolerant of Chen Yuan than he was.

At this point, he should just grant amnesty to the world.

"You take care of the discipline in the class."

After Lao Mo cleaned up his things, he prepared to leave the classroom and, before leaving, said to Zhang Chao, "For the rest of the time, put on a movie."

"Oh!!!!"

"Nice!!!"

"Old Ban is great, no need to say more!"

Lao Mo also knew that they definitely wouldn't be able to study today. And since the school wasn't letting them out early, he might as well let them relax and watch a movie.

Sometimes, even if you forcibly lock people in the classroom and force them, they still wouldn't be able to study.

Today was like that.

After experiencing such a carnival, how could they possibly calm down?

So, he didn't stay here to be annoying and left directly.

"What should we play?" Zhang Chao asked on the podium.

"Horror movie! Horror movie!"

Zhu Zihao was the kind of person who, in elementary school, would pull the pigtails of the girls in front of him, making them annoyed, in order to attract their attention.

A very typical Little China Man.

"Why watch a horror movie? How boring!"

"Let's watch an episode of Empresses in the Palace!"

"No, I don't want to watch Empresses in the Palace."

"Maya, how about watching Doinb's live stream!"

Zhang Chao knew that asking for everyone's opinion at this time would lead to nothing. It was impossible to satisfy everyone, so he said, "There's no internet. Let me see what movies are available."

Then, he saw some movies that Shirley Liu had previously saved on the computer. So, he played Green Book, which hadn't been played before.

After it was played, many people shouted that they had seen it.

"Raise your hand if you've seen it." Zhang Chao said.

Seeing about ten people raise their hands, Zhang Chao said, "Gone with the Wind or Green Book, choose one."

"Hey, let's watch the N-word movie."

"And we can't finish Gone with the Wind."

And so, the big guys, skilled in compromise and coordination, accepted Green Book.

And Chen Yuan, at this time, didn't spoil the fun either. After putting down his pen, he leaned back in his chair and watched the movie with everyone.

Since entering the second year of high school, he really hadn't watched many movies.

Shirley Liu was probably reminded by the school not to slack off, and after Xiao Yang came to this class, her attitude and style of teaching became much more active.

He had harmed her.

At this time, He Sijiao, with some oil still on her lips, poked Zhou Fu's back.

After she turned her head, she saw her holding a bag of spicy sticks, "Hahs hahs."

Although she was on a diet…

But if she didn't do something bad today, she felt like she was losing out.

So, she pulled out a spicy stick through the packaging bag, put it in her mouth, and ate it elegantly, one section at a time.

Then, she handed it to Chen Yuan.

Then she watched this guy pull out half a bag directly, open his bloody mouth, and stuff countless sticks into his mouth all at once…

"Hey! Leave some for others!"

He Sijiao slapped Chen Yuan on the shoulder, making a crisp sound.

Chen Yuan's back straightened suddenly from the hit. He swallowed, his mouth covered in red, and then sent the spicy sticks to the front, to Tang Jian and Zhou Yu.

"Boys really eat like abyssal beasts…" Zhou Fu couldn't help but complain.

Chen Yuan wiped his mouth with a napkin and then said, "I promised Xinyu that I would eat well."

"It's just eating spicy sticks. Why are you making it such a big deal?" He Sijiao said speechlessly.

"Wuwu." And thinking of Xia Xinyu, Chen Yuan held his forehead and pretended to cry, "I miss her a little…"

"The vacation is three days this time. You can stay together for a long time." Zhou Fu comforted.

"Indeed, I can watch a movie with Xinyu."

Chen Yuan's mood improved slightly.

Of course, he wouldn't watch a movie.

But he probably wouldn't be in the mood to study too much either.

He'd still study the test papers.

After the *gaokao*, the questions would be available online, including the essay prompts. He'd write the questions with the seniors these two days to see his current strength and what he could do when facing the real *gaokao*.

"I have a cup of yogurt. Do you want it?" Zhou Fu rummaged through her bag and took out the last drink.

Then, Chen Yuan and He Sijiao reached out at the same time: ""I want it, I want it.""

"This…" Zhou Fu hesitated for a moment and then placed it in He Sijiao's palm with a smile, "I gave you so much to drink. This time, it's for Jiaojiao."

"Hehe." He Sijiao took it like a victor, inserted the straw, began to taste it, and flaunted it in front of Chen Yuan, who was 'not heheing'.

At this time, Tang Jian also remembered that he hadn't taken his medicine yet. So, he took out a gray bag from his schoolbag. Just as he was about to open it, Chen Yuan grabbed it.

"You're eating alone again? Why are you as selfish as He Sijiao?" Chen Yuan said as he twisted it open.

"No, this is my Chinese medicine." Tang Jian was dumbfounded and reminded, "Medicine, it's bitter!"

"Bastard, I'll decide after I drink it."

Chen Yuan opened it and poured it into his stomach.

In a few mouthfuls, it was almost empty.

"What is it? I want to drink." Zhou Yu also came over.

"Chinese medicine, it's bitter." Tang Jian said, pursing his lips.

"Is it good?" Zhou Yu asked Chen Yuan directly.

"It's alright. If Brother Tang Jian drinks it, it should be for tonifying the kidneys."

"My kidneys aren't weak." After emphasizing, Zhou Yu still snatched it from Chen Yuan and finished the rest, "Hiss, it really is bitter."

"What else would Chinese medicine taste like? How new."

After Tang Jian complained, he took out another bag from his bag.

But just as he got it in his hand, it was snatched away by Chen Yuan the next moment.

"No, you can only drink one bag a day!" Tang Jian quickly stopped him.

"Then I won't drink it tomorrow!"

Tang Jian: "..."

Then, it was shared between the two of them again.

"Does this thing really tonify the kidneys? I'm just asking, I don't need it." Zhou Yu asked as he drank.

"If you're weak, you can't handle the tonification. Drink less."

"You're the one who's weak!"

Zhou Fu, on the side, watched Chen Yuan, who was like a devouring beast, able to completely eliminate anything that came out, with emotion.

Xinyu's worries that Chen Yuan would lose his appetite without her were completely unnecessary.

Anyway, she only remembered that the snacks she brought from home were increasing, and then disappearing faster and faster at school.

Never mind, her son was at the stage of growing up.

If the child liked to eat, let him eat more.

The movie in the evening self-study was very good. Although the classmates in the class were a little noisy, no one found it annoying.

And so, it continued until the end of class.

The movie wasn't finished, but everyone couldn't wait to rush home.

During the *gaokao*, the school would put up cordon lines, not allowing anyone to stay. So, everyone who lived at school had to go home for three full days.

Today's buses and subways would be unusually crowded.

"My mom will drive over. I'll give you a ride." Zhou Fu said with a smile, carrying her schoolbag.

"Auntie is coming?" Chen Yuan asked with anticipation.

"Act normal."

Zhou Fu reminded this rebellious son not to be too outrageous.

"It's alright, Zhou Yu and I will call a car." He Sijiao refused with a smile.

"What about you?"

Zhou Fu asked Chen Yuan.

"I'm going to find Xinyu. I'll probably eat some barbecue before going home." Chen Yuan said, "Say hello to Auntie Paofu for me."

"Say what!"

If it was Chen Yuan, even a normal, social etiquette sentence needed to be watched out for.

Especially since this guy had praised her mom for being young and beautiful more than once…

It made it seem like she was inferior to her mom.

And so, everyone put on their schoolbags, completely emptied their desks, and left the classroom, going downstairs.

"Hey, take a picture of me!"

Seeing the test papers all over the ground like white snow, He Sijiao, this showoff, rushed in at once and struck a pose to check in.

Not only her, but many people also wanted to record this awesome scene.

And Chen Yuan, while curiously observing the test papers all over the ground, couldn't help but ask, "Do you think there are any idiots who threw their admission tickets down with them?"

"Those people would drool even if they were cured." Tang Jian said.

"Hey!" At this time, Zhang Chao ran over, saying with some urgency, "I forgot to say what Lao Mo said in the classroom. Each class has to leave three or five students to set up the exam venue…"

"You really are a little scatterbrain." Tang Jian commented.

"Then what should we do? Everyone's gone now." Zhang Chao said helplessly, "Who has time? It'll take a whole morning."

"I live close. I'll come." Tang Jian said.

"Then there's one person left." Zhang Chao held up one finger.

"Then I will." Chen Yuan said.

"Don't you live the furthest away?" Zhang Chao said.

"Xinyu and I can come eat nearby tomorrow." Chen Yuan explained.

"Okay, then that's okay." Zhang Chao made a gesture.

Setting up the exam venue…

As one of the key exam venues, Eleventh High's scale of candidates was also very large.

Then in the afternoon, it was the candidates' turn to see the exam venue.

Although it might not be of much help, it was good to experience the atmosphere in advance.

And so, after making the agreement, everyone left the school like that.

Because everyone had to go home, the entire school had to be emptied.

So, the road in front of them was completely blocked.

It was all parents coming to pick up their children.

Just for Eleventh High, there were probably a dozen traffic police officers managing traffic nearby.

"Yo, Chen Yuan!"

At this time, Li Tong suddenly appeared and called out to Chen Yuan with a smile.

And after saying goodbye to his friends, Chen Yuan greeted Li Tong, "What, pretending to be a traffic cop here?"

"What are you saying?" Li Tong glanced and then explained, "All the high schools in Xia Hai are getting out of school. The traffic police can't handle it, so we came to help."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Yuan nodded.

"By the way, I saw a Douyin video today." Li Tong took out her phone, opened a liked video, and showed it to Chen Yuan, "From your school. This video is so popular. It has over a hundred thousand likes. Is this your voice at the beginning? It sounds like it."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't do things that show off."

"It's best not to. The gun shoots the bird that sticks its head out."

Hearing this, Li Tong was relieved.

"Then you have to be on duty for the whole time during the *gaokao*?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Of course. On those two days, all the police in Xia Hai, none of them are idle."

Every year at this time, Li Tong and the others really got busy.

Not only traffic, but the security of the exam venue was also very important.

And the police's responsibility also involved cheating in the exam venue.

Every year, they would catch some students who were cheating using equipment.

After all, as the most important exam in their lives, which could determine their future and reverse their fortunes, there were too many people who took the risk.

"Then what are you in charge of?" Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"I drive the candidates." Speaking of this, Li Tong said speechlessly, "Every year, there are some idiots who are late for the exam, and then I speed… urgently send them to school."

"Too cool, Sister Tong."

Chen Yuan had respect for her.

"Don't say, the few students I drove to the exam, although they were idiots, performed quite exceptionally after the exam…"

Speaking of this, Li Tong suddenly had an idea and looked at Chen Yuan, who looked a lot like Xiao Jie, and said with a smile, "It's a deal. At this time next year, I'll drive you once too."

"Who made a deal with you?"

Without any consideration, Chen Yuan waved his hand and refused directly.

"Hey hey, let me drive you. It really can add points!" Li Tong grabbed his arm and demanded.

"I'm not an idiot who would be late…"

"Then I'll drive you for a section."

"No need, I appreciate the sentiment…"

"If Xiao Jie had grown up to this size, he should be taking the *gaokao* too." Li Tong suddenly said sentimentally.

Hey…

"Okay, thank you." Since she had brought up Xiao Jie, what else could Chen Yuan say?

What can I say?

"The students I drive to the exam really perform well. Several have given me banners!"

While Li Tong was boasting, she also happily said to Chen Yuan, "You have to believe me. Maybe you'll get the top score because of the few points I bless you with?"

"…Okay, I'll take your good wishes."

Looking at this guy's bright smile, Chen Yuan also gave a polite smile.

Chinese people are superstitious.

But sometimes, some superstitions are very warm.

Okay, I'll put down a marker.

I'll come back after next June to see if it was really the subject you drove me to the exam for that I bombed.

I recommend a novel. The word count isn't much yet, but it sounds interesting.
