Chapter 69: The King of Memorization?

“Here’s the case. I had practiced on a few exams from past years before taking this exam. During the exam, I realized that it was similar to last year’s papers therefore, I was able to answer the paper quite easily!” Yang Ming wasn't sure whether the other subjects were the same as mathematics where it was similar to last year’s papers. However, such a probability was still high, so he bet on it.

“En?” Teacher Li was stunned and so were the other teachers! They all knew the exam papers this year were similar to last year’s! When they got the exam papers, they complained that the teachers from the other school who made the exam papers were too lazy. They were trying to deceive the others with last year papers! However, their schools were directly under the Ministry of Education so they had much more power than the four schools from the province. Therefore, the teachers didn't say anything. Now they were speechless when they heard Yang Ming's explanation.

I never imagined that was the truth! I thought he was cheating on the exam. It looks like it was just a coincidence!

When Yang Ming saw Teacher Li, he knew he was right! He was pleased with himself, I’m such a genius! My mouth is so good at lying that I never fail to do it! To avoid any more doubts from Teacher Li, Yang Ming said immediately, “Teacher Zhao can prove this for me!”

Zhao Ying nodded, “That's right. I gave him last year’s exam paper. Zhao Ying only spoke about the mathematics subject, but Teacher Li thought she gave him all the others subjects as well. Then her doubts were cleared.

“Yang Ming, I know that you have put a lot of effort into studying. You worked on last year’s exam papers, which means you're really motivated. However, there were too many coincidences in this exam and this doesn't say anything about your real results. So don't be too proud of yourself!” Teacher Li was relieved, but she thought of another problem which was that Yang Ming might be too proud of himself.

“I understand, Teacher Li. I will put in more effort!” Yang Ming promptly nodded his head and assured her. Deep inside, he was feeling lucky. Looks like I did bluff it out. If not, I wouldn't know how to explain that! If Teacher Li asks for my experience in studying, then I’m screwed!

However, Yang Ming really did jinx it. Whatever he thought about came. Whatever he feared also came.

“Oh right, Yang Ming. I have seen your papers. Even if you did it before, there are some difficult questions in the paper. The knowledge required comes from Grade 10, Grade 11 and Grade 12. I made some calculations, it has only been around one month since you started working hard. How did you manage to do it? Can you teach some of your techniques to your teacher?” Teacher Li asked cheerfully.

“This...” Yang Ming really didn't know how to explain.

“Why? Are you still trying to keep it a secret? Not willing to share with your teacher? If it's a good technique, I can promote it in our school!” Teacher Li said.

“Teacher Li, but I...” Yang Ming stuttered, but his brain was running quickly. How should I solve this crisis? Introduce my techniques for learning? What kind of international joke is this?

“Yang Ming, are you afraid that others might be better than you if they learn your technique?” Teacher Li noticed that Yang Ming’s expression was unnatural and thought he wasn't willing to share. After all, the National Higher Education Entrance Examination is like a single-log bridge, no one would be selfless for others. Yang Ming couldn't be blamed for this. The competition in our society was too intense!

“Teacher Li, what are you saying? I'm not that kind of person!” Yang Ming thought, if he didn't explain clearly, Teacher Li and Zhao Ying would not let him go easily! For Teacher Li, Yang Ming could still pass the buck but if Zhao Ying asked him, he had no choice but to tell her!
