Giving up the test and completing the test, the former was vague and undefined, while the latter was clear.
Ye Ying also understood what it meant. Her defeated face suddenly glowed, her sharp voice turned to a mean sneer, “You did it in just an hour? Ye Jian, I never knew you have such an ability.”
The leader of Second Provincial High suddenly didn’t have the same confidence as before. He could hear the tone of his school’s optimistic student was filled with traces of grievances, and he instantly felt that this “cheating” was not as easy as it looked.
It sounded a bit like a personal grievance.
Ye Jian smiled and answered the question from the leader of the Provincial Education Bureau, “I have a habit. My classmates know that I like to finish all the test questions within an hour. No matter which test it is. I am used to it already so that I can finish any paper within an hour.”
The certainty in her smile, combined with her unhurried expression, showed all the leaders present that she was as steady as a mountain, and thus they could see the difference between the two girls.
The first student from Second Provincial High spoke in a light and shallow manner as if she did not know how high the sky was and how deep the ground was.
The student from First Provincial High, on the other hand, spoke in an orderly manner. She did not speak slowly or eagerly, and she dealt with the “cheating” calmly. She did not refute the aggressiveness from the other student. Instead, she explained her situation first, and then let the leaders judge what was right or wrong. This matter alone could easily differentiate the students’ character.
“Just now, when I did the questions, the more I did, the smoother I got, so I didn’t accurately make sure that I completed the paper within an hour. I guess I was about ten minutes faster than usual. This student from Second Provincial High said that I asked her for answers… Well, I really don’t know which “me” had asked her for answers.”
“I really don’t know which “me” had asked her.” These kinds of words were quite a different standard of speaking. Not only did it make Ye Ying speechless, but it also lets the leaders see that she did not want to confront Ye Ying directly, to avoid any unnecessary consequences.
Ye Ying’s lips were pale, and cold sweat burst out from her back.
This dead girl said she finished her exam! No, it’s impossible, I don’t believe it!
Principal Cao confirmed with a smile, “I can testify to her habit. I once talked to her and told her not to finish so early, even if she can finish early, she should take the extra time to check her answers, don’t be careless.”
“In the end, she told me that she had already checked her answers before handing in her paper. She also said that once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change. Therefore, I was really surprised that this student from Second Provincial High said that she cheated.”
“Dear student, I also want to ask you, I don’t know which “Ye Jian” you meant who asked you for answers?”
The leader of the Provincial Education Bureau glanced at the invigilator in charge of the third examination room and asked in a deep voice, “What was going on at that time? Can you please repeat?” Accusation. Why should a one student be wronged by another student for cheating in the exam?
Does she treat the university entrance examination as a trifle?!
The invigilator repeated seriously: “First, I heard Ye Ying’s chair moving, and I happened to be checking from the bottom right from where Ye Jian was seated. Upon hearing the sound, I walked to Ye Ying’s desk, and I saw a paper in one of her hands. I also noticed that she looked flustered; her feet were unnaturally brought close together. So I asked her to lift her feet, and then I saw the note with answers written on it.”
“Then what about Ye Jian? How did she react?”
When asked by the leader of the Provincial Education Bureau, the invigilator calmly answered, “Ye Jian sealed the test paper and said to me, “Teacher, let’s talk outside, so as not to affect the other candidates’ performance.” After another invigilator came over, I immediately brought two of them over.”
