Chapter 100: The Approaching Darkness

Cheng Ming walked into the examination room, and the time to reveal the truth had finally arrived.

Was Wang Lei sitting behind him or not, and was that letter a cheating plea for help or a blank sheet of paper confession.

The candidates had not all arrived yet, and the order of seat numbers was written on the board in a serpentine fashion.

Cheng Ming found his seat, but did not sit down immediately, but went to take a look at the pass number note in the corner of the back table, and it was really Wang Lei s name.

Just then, Wang Lei entered the examination room.

Cheng Ming didn’t move and sat back in his seat.

The invigilator began to ask everyone to check whether they were carrying prohibited items, such as revision materials and electronic watches, and to hand them over to the podium immediately, or else they would be treated as cheating if they were found later.

If you want to go to the restroom, go to the restroom. No one is allowed to go to the restroom after the test starts.

Cheng Ming of course could not be stupid enough to browbeat Wang Lei in front of the invigilator and loudly conspire to cheat or something like that, lest he become the invigilator’s key focus.

In that case, ask Wang Lei to talk outside.

Cheng Ming got up and pointed his finger outside the classroom, but Wang Lei looked down to check her stationery and completely missed Cheng Ming’s little gesture.

This stupid woman, Cheng Ming had to fake it and left the classroom to go to the restroom.

The men’s room on this floor is overcrowded, and the women’s room should be even more so.

After all, there are so many people in the pit, it’s a pain in the ass to take off your pants and all that.

At this critical juncture, there are those who repeatedly go in and out of the restroom and how they can’t pee clean.

Cheng Ming didn’t have much of a desire to pee, so he washed his hands and returned to the exam room.

An invigilator is going from table to table checking candidates’ passes, glancing at the note on the table, then comparing the photo on the pass with the candidate’s face.

Another teacher was checking for small notes caught in the stationery carried.

Five minutes before the start of the exam, the invigilator unseals the file bag and distributes the exam paper, answer key and draft paper.

The invigilator loudly reminded the candidates to fill in their pass numbers and names, and also reminded students not to rush to move their pens to answer the questions, and to check their examination papers and answer cards for any missing or damaged ones.

The clattering sound of turning over rolls, the sound of writing with the tip of a pen rubbing against the paper.

Cheng Ming first glanced at the memorization section and memorized it once silently, perfectly, then glanced at the essay topic.

Three years of middle school life, you must have had many new beginnings, perhaps a little progress in learning.

It could also be a metamorphosis in thought or a small, careless thing in life ……

Please write a composition of not less than 600 words on the topic of “The Beginning”, or you may write your own topic based on the content of the article. No real names of schools, people or places should appear, and the style of writing should be of your own choice, except for poetry.

Junior high school is still mostly narrative essays, as long as the central idea is expressed clearly, not off-topic, at least a solid score, and then some of the vivid metaphor and whimsical viewpoints can be under the impact of high marks.

The argumentative essay is on the low side, for one thing, not enough extracurricular reading, the habit of discussing people’s deliberations has not been cultivated, and it is easy to make a mistake, not as secure as a narrative essay.

Lyrical prose is also an easy type to get high marks, and some people add more flirty captions and stuff, but it’s also easy to flop if you don’t write it well.

Although Cheng Ming is a real science student, but the age of experience here, the writing is relatively mature, write a junior high school essay is certainly a handful of pinch.

But sometimes advantages can turn into disadvantages.

For example, if he writes an argumentative essay, he can’t use people and things that haven’t become news as arguments.

Otherwise it would be bad to leave such evidence of foreknowledge of the future.

Another point is that Cheng Ming is used to the sprawling, often thousands of words of hydrology, and now he is asked to write six hundred words of concise essays, instead, it is a little difficult.

Cheng Ming wrote the entire paper in about an hour and a half, writing all the way down basically unhindered, just a little sore hands.

Go back and check the giveaway questions for any misspellings or misreading of the title.

Waiting for someone in the classroom to take the lead in submitting the exam paper, Cheng Ming only followed the trend and handed in his paper, he still didn’t like to be the one to stand out of the crowd by nature.

Cheng Ming was waiting for Jing Jing next to Niu Niu, and also waiting for Wang Lei, who had to ask the question clearly.

Instead of waiting for these two, he waited for Ye Mei.

“Ming, you’re waiting for Jing?”

“Right.”

Having an ‘outsider’ call himself by his nickname made Cheng Ming uncomfortable all over.

“What do you think of the difficulty of the exam paper?”

“Average.” Cheng Ming responded coldly.

“You and Jing are both planning to take the First Middle School exam, right? I am too, so without any surprises, we should be able to reunite in the First Middle School.”

“Oh.”

Compared to Cheng Ming’s casual coping, Ye Mei clasped her hands together and asked enthusiastically, “Xiao Li, your sister is called by this name, right? Is she in her first year now?”

“In sixth grade, first year next semester.”

“You seem to hate me, did I do something wrong? Or did I do something bad to you as a child?” Ye Mei rested her cheek with one hand and furrowed her brows as she tried to recall.

“No, no, your illusion, it’s that I’m a person whose eyes are inherently more fierce.” Cheng Ming pulled the corners of his eyes and made something up, “And social phobia, I stutter when I talk to strangers.”

Ugh, what’s the point of fighting with a little girl.

“So ……”

The two fell into a long silence, not having much in common, really not getting to know each other very well.

Not to mention the fact that Cheng Ming had a grudge in his heart.

Ye Mei, who has been raised as a princess since childhood, actually has pride in her heart and doesn’t want to take a hot face to Cheng Ming’s cold ass.

“Little …… Cheng Ming, my dad came to pick me up, I go first.”

Your dad?

Cheng Ming looked in the direction that Ye Mei had left, a middle-aged man in a suit waved towards Ye Mei, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a slim figure, and underneath a well-mannered appearance was a man-eating devil.

It was this face, the face Cheng Ming could never forget.

Cheng Ming clenched his fists, restraining his urge to rush up and punch him.

It’s pointless except to vent your anger, and it reveals your own existence.

He couldn’t let Ye Bin Song find out that he was the one who was behind the scenes and sabotaging his plans.

Ye Bin Song was in the dark, and he was in an even darker place.

Cheng Ming kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

Lin Jingyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Cheng Ming’s forehead and asked worriedly, “Xiao Ming, your expression just now is so scary, did you not do well in the exam? Did the essay stray from the topic?”

Wang Lei bowed her head and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you cheat for me ……”

She thought it was because of herself that she had upset and angered Cheng Ming.

Cheng Ming hurriedly reached out to cover Wang Lei’s mouth and said, “Don’t say two words out loud in the exam room, are you treating the surrounding candidates and invigilators as if they don’t exist?”

What a woman with big boobs, oh, and not very big boobs.

“The test went well, and the essay didn’t stray too far from the topic, I just thought about a nightmare I had this morning.”

Cheng Ming rubbed his eyebrows and tried to soften his expression.

“Wang Lei, about you, let’s go outside and have a chat.”

“Yes!” Wang Lei said with trepidation.
