Chapter 130 The College Entrance Examination Has Finally Ended!

  This year's college entrance examination in English is not only the listening part, but also the questions and completion sections have increased in difficulty.

  Obscure words and unfamiliar phrases make the test materials seem so abstruse. Even Qin Yanran furrowed her brow when doing this test, as many of the vocabulary items that exceeded the examination outline happened to be the key to this question.

  This is to examine the candidate's ability to guess the meaning of rare words by linking the context and semantics.

  Looking at the examinees in the examination room, they all frowned and worked hard on the questions. Basically, they were all guessing and doing it by halves. Su Lin had actually anticipated this situation a long time ago. When Su Lin received this English test paper yesterday, he encountered such a situation. The key words were very difficult to guess, and as long as the part of speech was guessed incorrectly, the answer would be completely different.

  Fortunately, Su Lin was holding a vocabulary book and dictionary yesterday, and she could look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary at any time.

  So today's exam, Su Lin finished it with ease, originally wanted to hand in the paper ahead of time, but then thought about it and decided to keep a low profile, just closed his own test paper, and casually looked at the examinees who were still fighting on the examination room.

  At another test site, Li Hao was indeed Su Lin's iron brother. At this time, after completing all the questions, he also did not choose to hand in his paper ahead of time. Like Su Lin, he looked at the furrowed brows of others in the examination room with a bit of schadenfreude.

  Especially Li Yan, Li Hao has a deep impression of his own cousin, seeing Li Yan now also being worried and flustered, he couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself: let you usually be so high and mighty, as if your studies are that good, this time you're in trouble!

  "How come there are so many unfamiliar words? This...this makes it impossible to do the homework! I don't even know the meaning of whole sentences and paragraphs..."

  Li Yan was already getting anxious at this point, with three consecutive questions being like this. He could only do two questions with confidence by half-guessing and half-figuring it out, while the remaining seven or eight questions he had no idea about. This was almost 20 points, not to mention the completion section, where there were also seven or eight blanks that he didn't know what to fill in. Adding these up, there were at least 30-40 points that Li Yan couldn't get, which made it impossible for him to calm down.

  Sweat rained down, Li Hao saw that Li Yan's forehead had been sweating all the time. The hand holding the pen was shaking a little, and he knew that Li Yan would probably fail in English this subject.

  "What's going on? Did that stinky kid Li Hao finish it again? He's got a sly grin on his face, looking like he's enjoying the show. Is it possible that he finished this super difficult test as well?"

  In the same examination room, Li Hao would observe Li Yan. Li Yan would also occasionally turn his head to glance at Li Hao's situation. Yesterday during the math exam, Li Yan discovered that something was off about Li Hao - he had stopped writing after only an hour into the exam and looked confident, as if he could get a perfect score.

  But now, such a difficult English test paper, Li Yan himself was nervous. He had no confidence at all, and he didn't believe that Li Hao could finish the test paper in such a short time with a high accuracy rate.

  "Li Hao, that stinky kid, must be a broken pot, with his English level of 50 or 60 points. If he seriously did it, he might not even get a higher score than random guessing. I reckon he just blindly filled it out and then came to disturb my thoughts on purpose."

  Li Yan felt his breathing was a bit rapid, he was getting nervous, so he quickly comforted himself in his heart, and then put aside the thoughts of Li Hao. He concentrated all his attention on the English test paper in front of him.

  But he clearly saw that Li Hao's smile was so complacent and natural, not at all like it was put on to deliberately disturb him.

  Is he really able to do all these questions?

  No way! No way!

  With a mind full of random thoughts, Li Yan became even more unable to do the questions, looking at the test paper filled with English letters. His head was about to spin.

  Before he knew it, the exam time had almost passed, and Li Yan still hadn't finished answering all the questions, yet there were only ten minutes left.

  "What to do? What to do? Won't be able to do it... No time left! Can only fill randomly..."

  With his eyes closed, Li Yan hastily scribbled on the answer sheet and finally managed to fill it up just before submitting it.

  When the teacher collected the papers, Li Yan glanced back and was surprised to find that Li Hao's answer sheet was also filled with writing. His composition was written neatly without any corrections or erasures.

  "How is this possible? How can Li Hao's exam be answered so well?"

  Li Yan couldn't accept it. The test paper he had messed up, how could Li Hao, who always ranked last in class, do so well and so quickly?

  "Haha! Li Yan, big brother! How was your English exam? Don't end up scoring lower than me, your younger brother, or it'll be embarrassing when our uncle asks about it at home!"

  As soon as they left the examination room, Li Hao smiled and said to Li Yan.

  "Hum! Li Hao, you stinky kid, don't think that just by memorizing some essay templates and messing around with the answer sheet, you can score higher than me. And even if your English luck is good and you get a high score, what's the big deal? Are your other subjects as good as mine? With grades like yours, you're still dreaming of getting into university!"

  Seeing Li Hao, Li Yan became annoyed and took out his usual condescending attitude. Last time he was ranked 11th in the grade and third in class, only after Qin Yueran and Su Lin, but this time, he made mistakes one after another in math and English. However, he believed that even if he did poorly again, at least he wouldn't be worse than Li Hao.

  "Oh? Is that so? Hehe... then let's just wait and see! Anyway, in a few days we'll have our family gathering, and once the college entrance exam scores come out, I'll make you lose face in front of the whole family."

  For the first time, Li Hao stood up straight and competed with Li Yan in grades, making a bold statement. This was all thanks to his brother Su Lin giving him the test papers in advance, and Li Hao had put in a lot of effort, who knows how many brain cells he had killed, just to memorize these standard answers. If he still couldn't beat Li Yan after this, then it would be unfair.

  This afternoon is the last subject of liberal arts comprehensive examination. After finishing the exam, it can be said that these third-year high school students are completely relieved.

  Su Lin and Li Hao casually found a restaurant to solve their lunch, then killed back to the high school exam battlefield in the afternoon. Needless to say, they had already taken the test papers and made out the answers in advance, and they did not scratch their ears like other candidates, but very smoothly completed the thick stack of comprehensive volumes perfectly.

  Ding ding ding!

  The last bell of the exam rang out at this moment. In the hearts of all examinees, a huge stone fell to the ground with a thud.

  As the proctor teacher collected and sealed all the papers, Su Lin knew that his high school career had completely come to an end.

  A swarm of people, the test-takers poured out of the examination room. Su Lin was also among the crowd, and suddenly someone in the crowd let out a loud roar, igniting everyone's emotions at that moment.

  Yes! Ten years of hard study have finally come to an end.

  Someone cried, no matter what the result of this Gaokao is, the hard days seem to have come to an end. Especially in these days getting closer and closer to Gaokao, they not only face the increasingly urgent review rhythm but also have to bear the pressure from their own dreams and family expectations.

  And now, all the pressure is gone. No matter what the college entrance exam scores are, it's a done deal. They are no longer birds trapped in the cage of studying, but now they can fly out of the cage and soar through the sky.

  Some people laughed, they were laughing at themselves. Before the college entrance examination, it was always considered a sacred and tense thing. Afraid to face it, but now that the last subject is over and the college entrance examination has ended, it's actually not that difficult, just a slightly more important exam.

  Some people are confused, the college entrance examination is over, they suddenly feel empty inside. Didn't their heart always expect this day? But why do they feel so hollow when it finally arrives?

  How many years of study have been for this day of the college entrance examination, how many years of parents and teachers' warnings seem to have deeply imprinted the mark of the college entrance examination on their lives. Now that the college entrance examination is over, they feel that their life seems to have lost its direction and fallen into confusion.

  But among these people, Su Lin felt like he was suddenly sailing through a treacherous sea. Having braved the strong winds and rains to get here, now in front of him lay an unknown vast ocean waiting for him to venture into, where there were infinite treasures and happiness at the bottom of the sea waiting for him to dig up.

  "Anyway, the college entrance exam... is finally over!"

  He clenched his fists, but in his heart, he had an urge to cry. A man has tears that he doesn't easily shed, only when the time is right. But this wasn't a sad moment, Su Lin just wanted to mourn the end of his over-a-decade-long school life, from elementary to high school.

  The college entrance examination has ended, and after the candidates left the examination room, all the students of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School rushed to the playground. Before the college entrance examination, Principal Li Weimin had said that after the college entrance examination, let the students come to the playground, and there will be important things to announce.

  "What's the important thing?"

  The most important college entrance exams have already ended, and Su Lin doesn't think there's anything more important than that. However, this does not prevent Su Lin from having a heart that loves to join in the excitement.

  "Yea... we're free..."

  "The college entrance exam is finally over..."

  ……

  Confetti-like scraps of paper and paper planes, that's what happens after students finish their exams, tearing up the books they've been studying with or folding them into paper planes to let fly. Some don't even bother to fold, just grab their books and rip them to shreds before scattering them from high floors like flowers being scattered by fairies.

  Doing so is a vent, very relieving. The books that have been read for so long, at this moment, are being brutally retaliated against by the students.

  Su Lin looked at the scraps of paper floating in the air like snowflakes and couldn't help but laugh, pulling out a review textbook from her own backpack and joining the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" crowd.

  For this behavior, the school is actually condoning it. After all, the pressure of the college entrance exam has been so intense for so long, how can they not let the students have a good vent? It's already quite something that they didn't smash up the office of the teaching director and the principal's office.

  "Lin Zi, look at my spoils! I specifically brought over a dozen books from home. Are there enough books on your side? Not enough to tear mine, anyway, Fat Master me this lifetime doesn't want to touch these ghost things again..."

  Seeing Su Lin tearing up books with relish, Li Hao put down a large backpack on the ground, revealing more than ten high school textbooks inside.
