Chapter 164: Joint Examination (1)

Shen Qing wrote very quickly. Less than an hour after the exam started, she handed in her paper while everyone else had not even started writing their composition.

The proctor walked over and collected Shen Qing's test paper. It was filled with dense, sweeping, cursive handwriting, with only her name written in standard regular script.

"With handwriting like this, who can even read it?" muttered one of the teachers, placing the paper on the podium.

During the afternoon mathematics exam, as soon as the papers were distributed, the candidates began to sigh and groan.

"Take the exam in silence," the proctor swept a glance across the room.

Less than half an hour into the exam, Shen Qing put down her pen and buried her head in her arms to sleep.

About five minutes later, Shen Qing raised her head to glance at the clock on the wall and stood up to walk out of the classroom.

"Shen Qing, you're not going to finish writing?" asked a teacher, blocking the girl who was about to head out.

Shen Qing was quite famous at the school; everyone knew who she was.

"I'm done," Shen Qing replied indifferently, walking straight out of the classroom.

The students in the examination room could not help but gasp. She was truly formidable—wondering if she would be the same way during the national college entrance examination.

A female teacher walked over and picked up Shen Qing's test paper. The answer sheet was filled completely, while the scratch paper contained nothing at all except for a drawing of a little figure.

She could not help glancing again at the major problems Shen Qing had solved. With so many calculations, she didn't even use the scratch paper? Could she have just written random answers?

On the second day of exams, Shen Qing overslept during the comprehensive science exam and only woke up when the ending bell rang.

"Sister Qing, you didn't hand in your paper early today?" Chubby came down from the upstairs examination room and happened to run into Shen Qing as she walked out.

Shen Qing glanced at him. Behind Chubby were Yao Panpan, Chu Yu, and the others.

"Yeah. Where is Nie Huan?" She remembered that Nie Huan and Chu Yu were in the same examination room.

"Sister Huan went back home to eat at noon. We are heading to Top Scholar Restaurant first. Sister Qing, care to join us?"

"Sure," Shen Qing agreed quite readily.

When the group arrived at Top Scholar Restaurant, there were already quite a few people inside. Fortunately, the tenth and eleventh-grade students had not been dismissed yet, and Chubby and the others managed to find an empty table in the very back corner.

"Classmates, what would you like to have?" The owner walked over with the menu, smiling genially. His body stiffened the moment he saw Shen Qing—the boss of Number One High School was back.

"Boss, didn't you guys roll out a Top Scholar Set Meal? Just bring us a portion of everything," Yao Panpan said familiarly as she fetched a kettle of water, handed out paper cups to everyone, and filled each cup to the brim.

The owner was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying alright. Before leaving, he couldn't help stealing a few extra glances at Shen Qing. Though he didn't use the internet, he had heard the dining students talk about Shen Qing's exploits—she had even won a First-Class Merit award!

The dishes were served very quickly. Feeling that merely drinking water wasn't satisfying enough, Chubby ran outside and bought a cup of milk tea for each of them.

"Hey, isn't that Yu Min'er?" a girl at the neighboring table suddenly said.

Yao Panpan looked around and saw a girl wearing a white down jacket outside the Top Scholar Restaurant, with two people following behind her taking pictures.

"Hmph, too good to actually eat at a place like this, yet she comes here just to pose for pictures. Tsk tsk tsk." Upon seeing Yu Min'er, Yao Panpan suddenly felt the food on the table lost its appeal.

Yu Min'er stood at the entrance to pose for photos, then glanced inside the restaurant. There were quite a few people inside, and sitting at the very back table was someone she found quite familiar.

"Min'er, you're done taking pictures, let's go eat," someone put away the camera, planning to touch up the photos in the afternoon before posting them online.

Yu Min'er withdrew her gaze from Shen Qing, smiled and nodded, and then followed her staff into the van.

"Wow! Yu Min'er really has no airs about her at all."

"She came here just to stage a photo op, and you call that having no airs? So fake."

"What's wrong with a celebrity posing for pictures? Don't you take photos and check in when you go to internet-famous shops?"

"Anyway, I think Yu Min'er is much better than Shen Qing. You know what? Shen Qing is probably going to score zero again this time."

"Hey, keep your voice down, Shen Qing is right over there."

"Crap, why didn't you tell me sooner?" The student who had been speaking glanced at Shen Qing's table, and upon seeing Yao Panpan's murderous glare, immediately dropped his chopsticks and hurried out to slip away.

"Sister Qing, you..." Chu Yu glanced at Shen Qing. The girl was eating her food quietly, paying no attention to the situation around her at all.

Shen Qing raised her head and swept a glance at him, "Eat quickly. Don't waste time."
