At 12: 30 PM, Sixth High's monthly mathematics exam began.
Sitting on the only seat in the classroom, Chen Yu received the test paper from the invigilator.
Perhaps due to the English teacher's suggestion, there were two invigilators for this exam.
One was the substitute mathematics teacher for Class 2-2, while the other was the mathematics team leader.
"Student Chen Yu, write your name first. Wait for the bell to ring before answering the test paper," the mathematics teacher kindly reminded.
"Understood."
Nodding, Chen Yu picked up his newly bought pen and wrote his name on the test paper. He then started examining the test paper.
At this time, the mathematics team leader pulled two chairs over from the next room and sat beside Chen Yu with the mathematics teacher.
Chen Yu: "..."
Afterward, the mathematics teacher pulled out two bags of snacks and handed one of them to the mathematics team leader. "Leader, this is for you."
"Thank you." The mathematics team leader happily accepted the bag.
Chen Yu: "..."
Through the transparent plastic bag, Chen Yu could clearly see the snacks inside.
Melon seeds, dried fruits, potato chips, shrimp sticks, spicy strips … There were even instant noodles …
The mathematics teacher stared at Chen Yu.
The mathematics team leader also stared at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu, on the other hand, stared at the table.
The examination room fell into a strange silence.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ring! Ring! Ring!
The bell signifying the start of the exam suddenly rang!
Meanwhile, the three examiners started taking action simultaneously.
Chen Yu answered the question.
The mathematics teacher and team leader opened the packaging and started munching on the melon seeds!
Crunch.
Crunch.
Crunch …
The sound of human teeth biting through the shells of melon seeds transmitted through the air and entered Chen Yu's ears.
Crunch.
Crunch …
The sound was crisp and pleasant to listen to …
Chen Yu: "..."
After pausing on the first question for a moment, Chen Yu expressionlessly said, "Isn't this a little unethical?"
"What's wrong?" Confused, the mathematics teacher asked, "Student Chen Yu, do you have a problem?"
"Is it normal for you to be munching on melon seeds here?"
"It's like this, Student Chen Yu."
Pushing on his glasses, the mathematics team leader explained, "To prevent teachers from getting bored during the exam, the school allows teachers to eat some snacks.
Teachers in other examination rooms also eat snacks. "
"There are many students in the other exam halls, and the invigilators are far away. It's totally different from you guys eating right under my ear, right?"
"Oh." The math teacher nodded and handed over the melon seeds. "So, do you want some too?"
"... That's not what I'm talking about!" Chen Yu bellowed. "I'm talking about you guys doing it here!
It's affecting my exam! "
"Student Chen Yu, there's something wrong with your words," the mathematics team leader on the left said slowly. "How many decibels can we produce when we're eating melon seeds?
It's not even as loud as your sneeze, so how could it affect you? "
"Yes, yes." The mathematics teacher on the right agreed. "Only when the heart is calm can the voice be quiet.
Student Chen Yu, your heart isn't calm. What does that have to do with the teachers? "
Left: "Is it because the test paper is too difficult?
Let you have nameless fire? "
To the right: "If you feel like you can't continue writing, the three of us can play Fight the Landlord."
To the left: "Good idea, we'll win the melon seeds."
On the right: "Student Chen Yu, why are veins popping out of your forehead?
Do you have a headache? "
Left: "Don't take the test if you're not in a good condition. Your health is more important …"
Thud!
Smashing his fists on the table, Chen Yu shouted, "Stop arguing!
I want to take the test! "
Startled by Chen Yu's words, the math teacher and the mathematics team leader exchanged glances before resuming their munching on melon seeds.
"So what if it's a test? It's not like we're stopping you from taking it."
"That's right. What's the point of losing your temper?"
Kacha.
Kacha.
Kacha …
Chen Yu: "..."
Amidst the sounds of cracking melon shells, Chen Yu struggled through the ten multiple-choice questions.
Meanwhile, the two invigilators had also finished munching on their melon seeds.
Chen Yu immediately breathed out a sigh of relief, his brows relaxing slightly.
Immediately afterward, however, the two invigilators each pulled out a bag of potato chips and popped them into their mouths.
Crunch.
Crunch.
"Ka ka chi chi …"
Chen Yu: "..."
Twenty minutes later, the two invigilators finished munching on the potato chips and shrimp chips, and they switched to dried fruits.
Crunch!
Crunch!
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Chen Yu: "..."
Half an hour later, the two invigilators finished munching on the dried fruits. They then brought hot water and started eating instant noodles.
They also tried their best to rub their lips against the noodles.
Slurp!
Slurp!
"Hiss hiss hiss …"
Wiping the soup off his face, Chen Yu bellowed, "Ahhhhh!!!"
…
Ring, ring, ring, ring …
Finally, the bell signaling the end of the test rang.
The two invigilators had also finished their snacks.
Looking at the last few questions, Chen Yu's expression turned sluggish.
He had tried his best.
However, the sounds coming out of his mouth made it difficult for him to concentrate.
"Hah, Student Chen Yu, you're amazing."
Standing up, the math teacher took a glance at the test paper and nodded. "You got so many questions right. It seems there's no bonus for you."
"Stop talking to me." Covering his ears, Chen Yu said, "I can feel pain from any sound coming out of your mouths."
…
At 2: 30 PM, the language test began.
This time, there were even more invigilators. There were a total of three teachers.
One of them was Chen Yu's form teacher.
"Chen Yu, here's your test paper."
Stepping forward, the form teacher passed Chen Yu the test paper in his hand. He then pulled out a wireless microphone from his pocket.
"..." Receiving the test paper in a daze, Chen Yu asked, "T-Teacher, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much."
Tapping on the microphone, the form teacher waved his hand casually and said, "Don't mind it. Do your best during the test."
Five minutes later, the bell rang, signaling the start of the test.
Before Chen Yu could even start writing, the song "Collapse" came from beside him.
"My motherland and I can't be separated for even a moment!
No matter where I go, I'll leave behind a song of praise …
"Lying like a bow!
Standing like a pine tree!
Not moving nor swaying, sitting like a bell, walking like a gust of wind …
"F * ck you, I want to catch you back, in that Dark Night Bar, who cares if he's real or not …"
After the three songs were quickly finished, the form teacher put away the microphone and smiled. "I wanted to cheer you on. Now that I'm done, you must do your best!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He then picked up his pen and tried to answer the questions, only to find that his mind was completely occupied by the three "poisoned melodies."
"Hmm …" Chen Yu slapped his cheeks hard and tried his best to concentrate.
"Question one, if there are no typos in the following words … My motherland and I can't be separated for even a moment …
"Question three, fill in the blanks in the following sentences. The most appropriate one is … Lying like a bow!
Standing like a pine tree …
"Question five, in" Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms, "what did the author express through his description of the details … My heart, I want to catch him back in that dark bar …"
"Ahhh!!"
