Newlyweds 1001 Nights: Mr. Bo’s Love Life - Chapter 319
Chapter 319: He Carries A Torch For Me?
Sitting down with the test papers in hand, Luo Zheng began to attempt the questions even though she was feeling uncomfortable.
The duration permitted for the Mandarin language exam was 150 minutes. She had missed the first hour and hence, had only 90 minutes left, Luo Zheng had no choice but to attempt the key questions first.
She made up her mind to do well in the following tests in order to make up for the ones that she had done badly in in the past.
Luo Zheng continuously worked on the questions while ignoring all the eyes that were on her.
“Ring… ”
As the dismissal bell rang, Luo Zheng hurriedly tried to finish her essay.
Her only regret was not having enough time to check her answers.
“Time’s up. The collection of scripts will begin immediately. Put your pens down, no more writing!”
While she was speaking, the invigilator deliberately glanced at Luo Zheng derisively.
Luo Zheng knew what she was doing and she was just about to stop writing and turn in her script.
“Teacher, Luo Zheng only had half of the permitted duration to attempt the exam. This is not in line with the rules! Teacher, please give her more time… ”
No one expected to hear the crisp and clear voice that sounded all of a sudden.
Not only was everyone surprised, even Luo Zheng also looked up to see the boy who was standing on the left like a tree.
The only person in Class 9 who spared a thought for Luo Zheng… was undoubtedly Jiang Musheng!
Luo Zheng could not help but think to herself in a narcissistic manner,
Does Jiang Musheng… carry a torch for me? Otherwise, I really can’t guess the reason he’s helping me again and again!
Besides, helping me would be the same as going against the homeroom teacher!
“Since she was late, it’s her problem and she should bear the corresponding consequences! If this is the college entrance examination, would they specially wait for her to start?”
The invigilator frowned and retorted angrily.
Jiang Musheng remained calm. Although he was dressed in an ordinary manner, he was extremely mature. “Teacher, what you mentioned is just an ‘if’. This is not the college entrance examination. It’s just the monthly test! Mandarin is relatively easy but it’s very time-consuming…”
“She should know how competent she is and what her limits are. So what if I give her more time? Psht, she’s always been at the bottom of the ranks and she plays truant all the time. If she can make it to the top ten with such results, wouldn’t the other students be able to top the charts and make it to Capital University or Tsinghua University easily?”
The invigilator’s snide and sarcastic remark made everyone burst into laughter.
Of course, everyone had the same idea. Jiang Musheng was the only one who surprisingly still believed in Luo Zheng!
One of Jiang Musheng’s close friends reminded him softly, “Musheng, what’s the point of that? Luo Zheng is definitely going to lose the bet. It’s not worth offending the teacher for her sake!”
Almost at the same time, Li Li got up and said confidently, “Monitor, the teacher is right. Since Luo Zheng is late, there’s no need to be tolerant. Even if you are in love with Luo Zheng, you shouldn’t be so prejudiced and defend her blindly!”
Jiang Musheng glanced at Li Li and said with an icy cold gaze in his eyes, “I just hope that the bet will be fair and open.”
“Hah, do you think… she can win?”
Li Li found it to be rather ridiculous and her tone was full of disdain.
Luo Zheng had to lose. Otherwise, her mother would definitely be embarrassed.
If Luo Zheng were to win, her mother would not only be forced to resign, she would still have to run 10,000 meters in a swimsuit and slap herself while kneeling down in front of the teachers and students at school!
Jiang Musheng remained silent and was about to say something because he didn’t want to continue being involved with Li Li.
The invigilator suddenly glanced at Luo Zheng and said, “I can give her some time, but… she will have to admit defeat!”
Before everyone could even discuss, Luo Zheng stood up while turning pale and said, “Monitor, you don’t have to go on. I’ll just submit my script… ”
“Students, please be my witness. She’s just putting on a brave front. It’s not that I’m not giving you a chance!”
