Chapter 038 – Strange Constellation! (1/2)

038 – Strange Constellation!

Chen Jin was a senior invigilator; so seeing students arriving late in the middle of the exam is not uncommon for him. For the majority of these students, their family is wealthy and their background is deep, but they're ignorant and incompetent. They could be cla.s.sified into the category of people that just are their whole life, waiting to die.

They are asked or forced by their family to enter the examination hall, and then they would pick up an exam paper and endure till the end of each exam.

To those students, exams are a torment, and seeing such students is also a torment for Chen Jin.

They don't understand and they can't answer questions, so why waste time by coming here into the examination hall?

Could it be that they fantasise that all of a sudden they would gain a sea of wisdom or that the teacher who writes the questions have a mental lapse and write simple and childish questions so people with their IQ can easily answer it?

In the eyes of Chen Jin, Li Muyang belongs to the type of student that has given up and stopped bothering, yet had no choice but to come.

Just as he thought, after taking the papers and walking back to his seat he sat there in a daze.

“Hmm, he began to play with his pencil case—-just like those former students—–”

“He's removing the pen cap—-hehe—–it would be best if there is cheat notes hidden in his pencil cap, in that case I won't let you off easily—”

“Ah, he's beginning to answer—–”

———–

Very soon though the mocking smile on Chen Jin's face slowly disappeared.

Because he noticed something very strange, since Li Muyang had sat down and started answering, his arm has not stopped moving.

He did not look around like the other candidates, nor did he pretend to answer by falsely moving about his pen and constantly glancing around for an opportunity to copy someone else.

When he occasionally raised his head, it was just to stretch his muscles and bones.

Even if his steel tip pauses, he looks as if he's in deep thought.

He really is answering questions, and is also answering smoothly.

Chen Jin is full of curiosity about this student, could it be that he had misunderstood him?

He was prepared to go and investigate himself, to see whether he had misunderstood him before.

In order to not seem so obvious, Chen Jin first started to inspect from the right-hand side of the cla.s.sroom. Seeing that the invigilator had walked down from the stage, all students lowered their head even more and exerted many efforts to display a righteous face saying 'I did not copy someone else.'

Chen Jin moved from the right to the left, and then his footstep stopped slightly just behind Li Muyang.

“Hmm, the words are well-written, the questions are also nearly done—-”

This was the first reaction that Chen Jin has towards Li Muyang.

But very soon he noticed a strange thing.

Li Muyang's answers had no errors at all, each of the questions that he answered was correct.

At the very least, the questions that he had carefully checked possessed no errors at all. Every question is answered perfectly.

It was not just memorising the model answer, but there is real insight and also the answers were arranged and summarised up properly.

Chen Jin was astonished, to be able to do that, the way he dealt with each question is similar to dismembering an ox as skillfully as a butcher. This is something that only the best students in the school can do.

“How could he be late?” Chen Jin thought to himself, his impression towards Li Muyang improved drastically and he did not doubt him anymore. “Why would a good student be late? I hope there is enough time for him.”

“Uh—-what is it?” Chen Jin saw that Li Muyang had stopped writing.

He followed his pen and looked across, this was a multiple-choice question. The topic is not too difficult, just somewhat uncommon. And also the four answers given are all very similar so it was confusing.

“Such a question, why can't you answer it? “Chen Jin felt this was a pity in his heart. “Think, think about it, and you should be able to find the rule—-”

“Eh, this kid has given up—-he jumped to the next question and started answering. What an impatient guy, but his approach is correct. After all, he arrived extremely late; compared to other students, too much time have already been wasted—-”

Chen Jin sighed slightly and then walked towards the stage.

He walked a few steps, but then he could not help but walk back.

Chen Jin stood beside Li Muyang, stretched out a finger pointing at the multiple-choice question that he had skipped and then gently coughed twice.

Li Muyang raised his head to take a look and Chen Jin looked at him with no expression at all.

Li Muyang pondered for a moment and then suddenly understood. He looked over the question again and was pleasantly surprised as he wrote out the second answer.

Chen Jin stepped away to leave, scolding himself in his mind over his improper actions: “d.a.m.n my Virgo constellation.”

Luckily Li Muyang did not encounter too many problems.
