The Third Volume Book Spirit Chapter 111: The Hundred Faces of High School Life

  On June 7th, the whole nation is vigorously engaged in the most important event that attracts attention from all over the country. The college entrance examination, since the implementation of the imperial examination system, has always been a test that determines one's future and fate, attracting the attention of people from all over the country.

  Ten years of hard study in a cold window, who is not for the sake of being on the golden list one day?

  However, the college entrance examination is ultimately a single-plank bridge, and not everyone can walk safely to the golden avenue on the other side. How to break through the siege from among thousands of troops, how to get into a satisfactory university, everything depends on today's performance in the exam hall.

  Jian'an No. 1 Middle School is the best middle school in Jian'an City. It is also the largest high school entrance examination venue in Jian'an City. In addition to this, there are also Jian'an No. 2 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, and No. 6 Middle School, as well as privately-run Zhihua Middle School. The seating arrangement for the high school entrance examination is randomly assigned by computer, fortunately, most of the students from Jian'an No. 1 Middle School take the exam in their own school.

  It's not even nine o'clock on this sweltering summer day, and the scorching sun is already high in the sky. At the entrance of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, countless parents are sending off their children, full of encouragement and expectation, just like ancient emperors bidding farewell to generals going into battle, eagerly awaiting the triumphant return of their children from outside the school gate.

  It was almost eight o'clock, Qin Yanran got off her mother's car at the school gate and walked to find her own exam room after receiving her mother's last two encouraging sentences.

  "My exam venue is 23, and Su Lin's exam venue 24 just happens to be next door. Although we're not in the same venue, being able to be next door already counts as good luck."

  Qin Yanran soon found her own examination room, at this time, most of the examination rooms had also arrived early at their seats. This is the college entrance examination, who doesn't have anything to eat and arrive on time? They are all afraid of being late, so they have already arrived at the examination room early.

  Walking to the adjacent exam room No. 24, Qin Yanran did not see Su Lin. Su Lin's seat was empty, and she felt a little worried: "It's already 8:30, why hasn't Su Lin arrived yet? Won't something unexpected happen again? This is the college entrance examination, if you're late, you can't enter the exam room again. Su Lin! You mustn't be late again."

  Thinking of Su Lin's usual tardiness, Qin Yan's heart tightened.

  With a heart full of thoughts, she returned to her own seat in the examination room. Qin Yanran's gaze still occasionally looked out the window, if Su Lin came, he would definitely have to walk past the 23rd examination room from outside.

  At the same time, in another examination room, Peng Shenda was very pleased with himself. He didn't go home last night and stayed in a hotel outside with several friends, memorizing what he thought were the answers to the high school entrance exam by heart. Of course, he still had no idea that his father had already been taken away for double regulation.

  "I just heard that Liu Qingyang, who was in the same exam room as Su Lin, said that he hasn't arrived at the exam room yet. It seems that those two people from my dad's unit really held Su Lin back."

  This time in the college entrance examination, Peng Shendda was going to take revenge on Su Lin, letting someone drag him and not making it to the exam.

  Unfortunately, Peng Shenda's good wishes could not be realized. At 8:40, Su Lin hastily got out of the taxi and fortunately had just grabbed a handful from her pocket money at home, otherwise she might not have even had enough to pay for the fare.

  The road at the entrance of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School was almost filled with private cars of students' parents, and taxis could not get in. Su Lin had to get off at an intersection 800 meters away from the school gate, then ran all the way there.

  "Sulin! How can you be so late again? Today is the college entrance exam! It's already 8:40. You're really infuriating your teacher!"

  Su Lin had just rushed into the school when he unexpectedly ran into Lin Qingxue. Seeing Su Lin's flustered appearance, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but get angry. On such an important day, you're actually later than usual, do you still want to take the college entrance exam?

  "Teacher Lin, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I got up early today, but... I left my admission ticket at home, so I rushed back to get it. I didn't make it in time, I'll go take the exam first, you can scold me after I finish..."

  Su Lin knew that Lin Qingxue would scold him because she cared about him, but he still quickly found an excuse to avoid her and rushed to his own examination room.

  8:50, the invigilators at each examination room have already started reading out the high school entrance exam instructions. Qin Yanran, who has been staring out of the window, still hasn't seen Su Lin's familiar figure, and her heart is getting anxious.

  "Sulin, what are you doing? Why haven't you arrived yet? The entrance to the examination hall is about to be closed."

  Qin Yanran's heart was burning with anxiety, her small hand clenched around a black pen, and her palms were sweating.

  Puff puff puff...

  The quiet examination hall, a hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, accompanied by a panting sound, from afar, Su Lin had just climbed up from the stairs, and Qin Yanran heard it, recognizing that it was Su Lin's voice.

  Her eyebrows relaxed in joy, and the worry in her heart was finally relieved. Su Lin had finally arrived.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a few seconds later, Su Lin's panting figure rushed to the window, and Qin Yanran finally put her mind at ease. Watching Su Lin flash by, she couldn't help but think of the feeling of being held in Su Lin's arms and falling asleep last night.

  It was so warm and comforting to have someone to rely on, and there was a unique scent on Su Lin's body. Qin Yanran sniffed it lightly, as if Su Lin were right next to her at that moment.

  "Oh dear! I finally made it."

  Breathlessly, Su Lin took out her admission ticket and ID for the examiner to check, then walked into the examination room with a look of having narrowly escaped death, and sat down in her own seat. Just as Su Lin had sat down for less than two minutes, the bell signaling the start of the exam rang out immediately.

  The other examinees in the room, mostly students from Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, had long heard of Su Lin's reputation as the "King of Tardiness", but they were all secretly giving him a thumbs up for daring to rush to the exam like this.

  "Alright, classmates. Just a reminder about the high school entrance exam rules, everyone please listen carefully. One last time, those who have brought mobile phones and other items unrelated to the exam, please put them on the table outside immediately. Now I will begin distributing the test papers..."

  The examiner who was speaking was a middle-aged man with black-framed glasses, sparse hair, and another female examiner who looked younger, about the same age as Lin Qingxue, also pretending to be mature and deliberately putting on a serious face.

  Now, in more than 100 classrooms within Jian'an No.1 Middle School, the same scene is being played out. In each classroom, two invigilating teachers are distributing test papers, with the first subject being Chinese language and literature, and the exam lasting for two hours.

  One by one, the test papers were handed out. Although all the examinees received the same test paper, their facial expressions after seeing it were all different.

  Most people, as soon as they see the test paper, flip through it and frown. Because after all, this is a college entrance exam paper, with so many questions, just looking at it gives you a headache, and at a glance, there are more or less some difficult questions to be seen.

  But Su Lin, after getting the test paper, had a calm and composed expression. Just now he was still panting heavily, but after resting for a moment, his mind was as clear as a mirror. He took a look at the paper and found that it was indeed the one he did yesterday. Getting a perfect score might not be guaranteed, but getting 130 or 140 points would be easy.

  In another examination room, when Li Hao, who was nervous and anxious, received the high school Chinese language exam paper, he took a look and his heart suddenly burst with joy.

  "I'm going to go... it's actually the test paper Lin gave me yesterday, this is great, great! Haha..."

  Covering his mouth, Li Hao almost burst out laughing.

  Some people laugh, while others cry. In many other exam rooms, including Peng Shendu and those seven or eight young masters who were with him yesterday, they all stared blankly at this moment.

  "How can it be different? How is it possible for it to be different? Obviously, that copy of the test I had was photocopied from the original high school entrance exam papers, so why would it be different?"

  Peng Shend's heart was raging with a loud roar, he had watched his own test paper being photocopied from the high school exam, and then it was always by his side, why would it be different? He thought to death but couldn't think of how his paper could have been swapped by Su Lin.

  The real high school exam paper was swapped by Su Ling's cat when he was in the reception room of Yi Zhong.

  Staring at the high school Chinese language exam paper filled with unfamiliar questions, Peng Shendu had an urge to tear it into pieces.

  Looking at Su Lin, he sat calmly in the examination room, his black signature pen brushing quickly, writing swiftly, without even looking at the questions, one by one, filling out the answers quickly, with a confident and composed demeanor.

  Ancient Chinese, Appreciation of Poetry, Modern Chinese, Composition...

  No question can stump Su Lin, yesterday Su Lin had already done all these questions thoroughly, of course, for some subjective questions, Su Lin still needs to differentiate them from the answers he wrote yesterday, after all, that answer was for Li Hao.

  Also, there is the composition. Su Lin's writing skills were originally not bad. Seeing this topic, he wrote a long and detailed essay "On the Inappropriateness of Gentlemen" in classical Chinese.

  The chapter has a degree, and the example is used to illustrate. Su Lin, from Confucius' "Junzi Bu Qi", explained that one should be versatile and have broad vision when it comes to being a person, and should not be limited to certain fixed talents. Incidentally, Su Lin also satirized the shortcomings of examination-oriented education.

  The writing style is elegant and refined, with a hint of the poor scholar's flavor. Su Lin didn't care about it either, even if the views in the article made the grading teacher give himself low marks, he would accept it anyway. After all, he would answer other subjects perfectly, why bother with this little bit of score for composition, just write whatever you want.

  An essay written entirely in classical Chinese, "The Theory of the Unwilling Vessel", shines on paper. Su Lin himself is very satisfied with it, and indeed it's a beautiful piece of writing. However, the only flaw is that Su Lin's handwriting is not good-looking, which can be fatal in the college entrance exam!

  The college entrance examination is a war without gunpowder. Similarly, on the battlefield of the college entrance examination, there are also various human conditions, some people laugh, some people cry, and some people are crying and laughing...
