Chapter 112: Because I Know You're Waiting For Me

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  For Su Lin, who had done it once before, he finished writing the high school Chinese exam paper with composition in less than an hour.

  Sulin finished answering the questions early and felt a bit sleepy, all because of Qin Yanran and Fang Liping, this strange pair of mother and daughter, who didn't let her sleep well last night. So Sulin fell asleep on the table. But later she found that the classroom was too hot, so she decided to hand in her paper ahead of time and go out for some fresh air.

  "Handing in early? It's been less than an hour and someone has already handed in?"

  Not only the invigilating teacher, but also Su Lin's handing in of the paper increased the pressure on the students in this examination room. They had been working so hard to answer the questions, and even the fastest ones had just barely finished writing the answers, let alone reviewing and writing the composition, yet Su Lin had already completed everything including the composition.

  With a pat on the buttocks, he handed over his paper. Su Lin didn't care about these things! The papers were all answered, and Master Su didn't need to check them, so why was he still staying in this oven-like classroom?

  Sweat was pouring down, and there was no air conditioning in the classroom. With so many examinees and the psychological tension, everyone was drenched in sweat, with beads of perspiration on their palms as they grasped their pens.

  "Are you sure you want to hand in your paper?"

  The relatively young female invigilator, Ye Yujing, held Su Lin's paper and asked him again. This is the college entrance examination, even those students who are usually a bit mischievous, are taking it very seriously, wishing that the exam time could be longer. But Su Lin in front of her, the exam time hasn't even passed half yet, and he actually wants to hand in his paper already.

  "Alright! Teacher, I'm done. There's nothing much to check anyway. Handing in."

  Su Lin looked at Ye Yujing, nodded, and then carried his own things out of the classroom.

  Yeyu Jing took a look at Su Lin's test paper and found that every question was answered thoroughly, with just a glance, the answers were well-organized. When she flipped through Su Lin's composition again, Yeyu Jing almost exclaimed in surprise, it was actually written in classical Chinese.

  "The Master said, 'The superior man is not a vessel.' He means that the superior man should not be confined to one particular thing; he should have many accomplishments..."

  Eight hundred words of elegant and flowing text, unexpectedly all written in this classical style. Although not as masterfully written as the ancient greats found in language textbooks, Ye Yujing couldn't imagine that such classical writing could come from a high school student's hand.

  Ye Yujing majored in Chinese Language and Literature at university, and she also composed classical poems with ease in her free time. However, that was just a hobby, and occasionally writing some pieces was all she could manage. It would be impossible for her to come up with such beautiful and elaborate ancient prose like this!

  "Even Professor Li would be full of praise for this article. He might even think it was written by some ancient scholar!"

  Pick up Su Lin's paper, flip it over, and cover the back with the table. Ye Yu Jing looked at Su Lin's leaving back, suddenly became curious, what kind of student is this? Can write such an ancient and beautiful article.

  Su Lin didn't know that he was just handing in his paper ahead of time, which caused such an impact. After leaving the examination room, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and found his backpack on a table next to the classroom before heading downstairs.

  Next to No. 23 examination room was Qin Yanran's examination room, Su Lin had just rushed over in a hurry and missed it when he came to take the exam, now he wanted to go back, so Su Lin slowly walked through the corridor of No. 23 examination room, tilting his head and smiling at the inside.

  In the classroom of Exam Room 23, all candidates were buried in answering questions, some frowned and some bit their pen heads. Qin Yanran was no exception, she sat very upright, today she tied a ponytail, revealing her forehead, it was quite hot, the classroom was also very stuffy, there was sweat on her forehead, making Su Lin want to rush over and wipe it off for her.

  "This candidate, after finishing the exam, don't linger in the examination room, leave quickly..."

  There were patrolling examiners in the corridor, and when Su Lin was about to enter room 23, he was warned by one of them. However, as soon as the examiner shouted, all the examinees inside the classroom heard it, and they all stopped doing their questions, turned around and saw Su Lin in the corridor.

  "Su Lin? You're submitting your paper so early?"

  Qin Yanran also glanced sideways, and when she saw Su Lin standing outside the door, he actually smiled at her with a thumbs up.

  However, before Qin Yanran could respond to him, he was scolded and chased away by the patrolling examiner.

  "It seems that Su Lin is very confident about this exam. Hehe, I won't lose to him either, I'll work harder, Su Lin. This time, let me see your true strength and whether you can surpass my score."

  After all, Qin Yanran is still Fang Liping's daughter, and like her mother, she is a strong-willed woman. Seeing Su Lin submit so early, she also sped up her pace. The essay that was only half-written just now was completed in ten minutes.

  "Teacher, I'm done with the test."

  Unbelievable! Qin Yanran, who has always been cautious and careful, checking everything until the last second of the exam, actually handed in her paper ahead of time, when there were still 50 minutes left before the end of the exam.

  "What's going on today? Two lunatics! This is the college entrance exam! Handing in the papers so early, I'm afraid I didn't have enough time to finish my own..."

  "How did Su Lin and Qin Yanran hand in their papers at the same time? Are these two people really confirming their relationship?"

  "Oh no! I haven't even started writing yet... and they've all already submitted theirs..."

  ……

  The examination room, which should have been quiet except for the scratching of pen tips, was filled with the low murmurs of the examinees. The proctor hastily emphasized the discipline issue, and it finally calmed down.

  Qin Yanran pretended not to hear what those people were saying, carrying her small flower backpack and smiling as she hopped and skipped down to the bottom of the building. Because she knew that Su Lin was definitely waiting for her downstairs.

  "Yanran, why did you hand in your paper and run out early?"

  Su Lin smiled and stood at the staircase entrance, watching Qin Yanran jump down the stairs.

  "Look who's talking! Su Lin, how did you finish so early? You've already answered everything?" Qin Yanran smiled mischievously, without a hint of her usual icy beauty. Her eyes narrowed and her eyebrows curved as she laughed, looking radiant, just like the June sunshine that was almost dazzling.

  Yes! It's dazzling.

  Su Lin thought that Qin Yanran was indeed a girl who shone like the sun, dazzling to the eyes. With all the halos on her head, flowing with the most excellent and intelligent bloodline, he wondered what virtues he had, to be able to make such a girl like him.

  "I miss you. So I'll finish answering early so I can see you."

  Su Lin couldn't say that he had already done a set of Gaokao questions yesterday, and instead joked with Qin Yanran, walking step by step closer to her.

  "I don't believe it. I knew you were just talking nonsense." Qin Yanran said with her mouth, but in her heart, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

  "I'm not being glib, but in this day and age, even speaking from the heart can be resented by some people." Su Lin cried out in injustice, then took a few more steps forward, arriving in front of Qin Yanran. Without any courtesy, he grabbed Qin Yanran's hand, gave a sly smile, and asked, "Yanran, how did you manage to do it so quickly as well?"

  "Because... " Qin Yanran gently shook off Su Lin's hand, then raised an eyebrow, her eyes not daring to look at Su Lin, finally throwing out a sentence, "Because I know you're waiting for me downstairs."

  After saying this, Qin Yanran smiled and ran away.
