There were still two days before the monthly exam. Su Yuze noticed that Su Rou wasn't doing anything related to the exam. She just went about her daily business as usual. Su Yuze was extremely unsure. Did little Rou'er finally figure things out? Or was the academic pressure in high school too much for her, causing her to lose interest in studying?
After dinner, Su Yuze sat beside Su Rou and couldn't help asking, "Little thing, isn't there an exam coming up? Why aren't you reviewing?"
Su Rou was eating fruits while watching TV. Hearing Su Yuze's question, she stared at the TV and casually replied, "My notebook is missing."
"..." Su Yuze rarely felt speechless. Oh, so just because the notebook was missing, she wasn't going to review? That was quite a reason! "How did it go missing?"
"Tiantian said she lost it." Su Rou skewered another piece of fruit and then stuffed it to the side.
Su Yuze opened his mouth and took the fruit she fed him. "Is she the girl who used to copy your notes for a last - minute cram session in junior high?" He had a bit of an impression of that girl named Ling Tiantian. In junior high, she always borrowed little Rou'er's notebooks to copy. Little Rou'er was a genius student, and the notes she took were truly the most important parts.
Su Rou was a bit dissatisfied with the way Su Yuze talked about Ling Tiantian. She frowned slightly and skewered a big piece of apple and stuffed it into his mouth. "She lost it by accident. We can't blame her."
"Right... So you're not going to review then?" Su Yuze elegantly chewed the apple and asked.
"No. I'm going to take the exam without any review!"
"Hehe..." Su Yuze was amused by her words. Taking the exam without any review. Was that the reason she wasn't reviewing? What a treasure! "Okay. It seems you don't need my guidance then?"
Su Rou shook her head. "No, no. I just want to take the exam without review."
"Alright, alright." Little thing, it didn't matter even if she did badly in the exam. Who would really care?
...
The day of the exam arrived. Su Rou was still late. By the time she rushed to school, the exam had already been going on for half an hour. Su Rou felt a bit embarrassed. She had watched horror movies too late last night...
"Excuse me, teacher. Can I still go in and take the exam?" Su Rou walked to her exam room. Since the monthly exam was a major one, the whole grade was divided into different classes for the exam. The invigilators were also rotating, and not all of them were from Class One of Senior High.
There were two invigilators, a man and a woman. The male invigilator looked towards the door at the cute girl. He felt a bit soft - hearted. After all, it had only been a month since the start of school, and maybe some students hadn't adjusted yet. But the female invigilator didn't care. She seriously shouted at Su Rou, "The exam has been going on for an hour. Do you have any sense of discipline?"
Su Rou looked at the wall clock in the classroom. "Teacher, it's not an hour. It's only forty minutes." It was clearly only forty minutes, but she insisted on saying an hour. Who was she trying to scare?
The female invigilator probably didn't expect this girl to talk back even though she was late. She immediately slapped the podium. All the students taking the exam were startled and looked at the teacher. Oh my god! The teacher was angry. How scary!
"You, you show no respect for your teachers. What's your name? I'm going to give you a zero! You don't need to take the rest of the exams. All zeros!" She was so angry that she stared at Su Rou.
The male invigilator, seeing Su Rou looking so pitiful, thought it would be better to make this a minor issue. "She was just late for one exam. There's no need to give her zeros for the rest of the exams, right?"
But the female invigilator ignored his words and directly pointed at Su Rou and loudly asked, "What's your name?"
Some students in the exam room had already started whispering, but most of them were just watching the show. Hehe, those who knew Su Rou knew that she was often late. They just didn't expect that she could be late for an exam. Let's see how she would deal with this now!
Su Rou scanned everyone in the exam room. Not surprisingly, she saw many mocking smiles. She looked at the female invigilator and slightly raised her small chin proudly. "Teacher, my name is Su Rou."
"Su Rou, right!" The female invigilator was so angry that she was looking for her name in the roster. However, five seconds later, the female invigilator suddenly looked up at the girl playing with her fingers at the door and asked slightly tremblingly, "You said your name is... Su Rou?"
"Yes."
The female invigilator immediately said, "You, you quickly go in and take the exam."
"Okay." Su Rou put down her hands and walked into the classroom.
"You were late for so long. I'll give you an extra half - hour. Is that enough?" The female invigilator asked as if bargaining.
Whoa—
The students in the exam room gasped in surprise. Oh my god! The teacher's attitude had changed so much! Not only did she let the girl in to take the exam, but she also gave her an extra half - hour! Are you kidding me! Those who had just been mocking Su Rou with surprised looks on their faces were now completely shocked!
Su Rou found her seat, looked at the test paper, and then said to the teacher, "No need."
The female invigilator wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Oh no... Was she angry?
The male invigilator tugged at the female invigilator's sleeve and whispered, "Is she that Su Rou?"
The female invigilator nodded. "Yes... I should have checked the roster first."
The male invigilator shook his head. Fortunately, he hadn't said anything!
The time for one exam was two hours. When there were still twenty - five minutes left, the teacher cleared his throat and reminded everyone, "There are still twenty - five minutes left. Hurry up."
Just then, a clear voice rang out. "Teacher, can I hand in my paper early?"
"Um, as long as you've finished, you can."
So Su Rou stood up, handed in her paper, and then flew out of the classroom like a little swallow.
Those students who had mocked Su Rou and then been shocked before were now completely petrified! This... was just too amazing! She was forty minutes late and still able to hand in her paper early?!
