Fake Slackers

Editor: No vs King, cont'd
He Zhao took the lanced over the paper froeneral sense of the difficulty before he started writing He began drafting a solution in the blank space
Hiswas unsteady too
He sat on the first step of the flight of ascending stairs while Xie Yu sat in the corner of the bend in the stairwell They sat face to face, one higher and one lower
While drafting his answers, He Zhao remembered what he had said to Xie Yu under the alias 'Question King'
None of it was very polite
He Zhao was very distracted His pendown the square root of 2, then stopped Ink gradually spread out from where the nibblack ink blob, he thought about thehe had said He said it aloud now: ”…I'll give you a three-question head start”
Xie Yu still hadn't removed his hood He had also lowered his head, so from He Zhao's position he could only see Xie Yu's nose and chin His ood ood?
Xie Yu squeezed the pen in his hand It actually seemed more likely that he would meet this idiot in a dream Perhaps this really was a dreaht, give ive you a ten-question headstart”
He Zhao: ”……”
The two last-places-in-the-year, who slept in class or played phone garades so far down that every subject teacher was a step away froe of the textbook they were going through in class—were now sitting in the stairwell trashtalking each other
In school, their most frequent conversation was, ”Which question is the teacher going over?”
”Don't know”
”Do you kno to do this question?”
”Nope”
”Phew, you don't know, either Did you finish copying the homework?”
Now, after the trash talk, even Xie Yu felt shocked
He had looked through the Best of the College Exaht, and all the mock papers looked about equally difficult, so he tore a set out at randolanced at the time, then tossed his phone to the floor
Half an hour They stopped writing around 11 am
Since Xie Yu had still not seen He Zhao's answers, he reh an inexplicable notion was currently bubbling up in his mind
He Zhao did two questions, emotions still in disarray
He held his pen, knuckles jutting out He stared at his terrible, shaky handwriting Then, still dazed, he switched his pen to his left hand
When Xie Yu finished writing, it was not yet 11 alanced up and saw the idiot on the steps had also just stopped writing He Zhao put his paper on his knee and looked at Xie Yu
They stared at each other quietly for a while
Xie Yu went to sit on the step too, taking the mock paper with him He reached out for the paper on He Zhao's knee, but He Zhao held it in place with one hand, then caught hold of Xie Yu's hand with the other He said quietly, ”Can you… let me off this once?”
”Weren't you so sure of yourself?” Xie Yu said, pulling the paper out little by little froot it halfway out, then couldn't pull it any further He said, ”Let go”
Xie Yu was still internally thinking this was i the paper… he was speechless
The first few lines ritten in ugly handwriting, but the rest of it… the handwriting was stillmanner Firm, and beautiful in an unrestrained way They could have been written by a completely different person than had written the first few lines
Xie Yu wasn't sure what to say He flipped the page and looked again tohim
”I'h I write fine with ht hand, too The style's just a little different I'ht…”
Since a young age, He Zhao had found it easier to use his left hand, but his parents hadit would be easier to correct hi Time went on, and his lefty tendencies reshi+t”
Xie Yu thought, since he dares call hi that his handwriting is nicer, too Professionalis up to his handle completely But Xie Yu was still annoyed for some reason he didn't understand He continued, ”I don't think you understand what 'bold and carefree' means”
Half an hour was not much time to answer questions He Zhao had condensed his answers and completed three steps in one He only used half the available space to answer the question—he had calculated the answer in his working area, then put a circle around it and called it a solution
Xie Yu started exa with the first question, all the way through to the end Aside from the final question, on which He Zhao had dropped a deci at Xie Yu's paper, too
