When the fifteen minutes were up, the teacher immediately called a halt and asked everyone to swap and correct each other’s sheets, as well as talk about the questions. Since everyone was a competitor, the classmates wouldn’t cheat.

Lin Zhao Xi’s paper was handed to a girl at the back left.

“You actually managed to answer the bonus question?”

Little Lu probably saw when he exchanged papers. He was shocked. Because of the bonus question, the tone he spoke with was politer.

Lin Zhao Xi sweated inside, but on the surface, she said in a serious manner, “Yes, it was very simple.”

Lu Zhihao gazed at her with adoration.

Mrs. Xu began to explain the questions and reveal the answers on the podium.

Lin Zhao Xi took the opportunity to flip through the textbook and review the previous parts.

Some of its content was in Little Zhaoxi’s memory, but she hadn’t yet integrated and applied it, so it was tantamount to being blind.

“The answer to the 4th question is 40. The key to this question is the formula we mentioned before. Students, I’ve said many times, what comes first in solving a problem?”

“The formula~”

The children under the podium answered, trailing off.

Lin Zhao Xi turned back, as usual, to confirm her answer, and then froze.

She pointed to the red cross on her paper and said to the girl sitting at the back, “Classmate, my answer is clearly correct.”

“But you didn’t write down how you solved the problem.” The little girl at the back pushed up her glasses and added, “You didn’t even write the word ‘solution’.”

Lin Zhao Xi was rendered speechless.

The reason why she didn’t write the process wasn’t that she was afraid how she solved the question would scare the kids, it was purely because she was writing with her left hand and was too slow. Afraid that she wouldn’t be able to finish the question, she just calculated everything in her head and then jotted the answer.

She never thought she’d meet such a serious “examiner”.

But it was true, they were all rivals, it was only right to take it seriously.

“But my answer is right, you can’t mark all of it wrong.” Lin Zhao Xi said.

“Who knows whether or not you copied someone else’s.” The little girl said cryptically.

Upon hearing that, Lu Zhihao turned his head, his voice particularly loud, “What are you talking about?”

Children of the North speak with particular vigor, especially Fatty Lu, who had plenty of lung volume.

“Lu, Zhi, Hao!” Mrs. Xu’s lecture was interrupted, and she didn’t look pleased.

Lu Zhihao stood up and complained, “Teacher, Zeng Shanshan wrongly crossed a question!”

Lin Zhao Xi didn’t know why Little Lu was suddenly defending her. But Mrs. Xu had already stepped down from the podium, so she could only follow suit and stand up.

Xu An looked at her son who was standing with his head held high, and the little girl standing next to her son with her head bowed. Without saying a word, she picked up the polemical test paper.

All she saw at first was a blank sheet of paper, but on her second glance, her eyes zeroed in on the huge X.

On the test paper, the problem solving was written under the first three questions, but it was missing on question 4. Every question after that only had the answer, and the numbers were crooked and very hard to read.

But when she looked carefully at the answers to each question, she was surprised to find they were all correct.

Like Zeng Shanshan, she thought that Lin Zhaoxi had copied Lu Zhihao’s answers, cheating because she was pressed for time. But as a teacher, she certainly wouldn’t jump to conclusions.

She took a step back, took the test paper belonging to Lu Zhihao from Lin Zhao Xi’s desk, and put the two papers together to compare. Lu Zhihao did well on the test, every question was answered correctly and there was nothing wrong with the problem solving, except the 10th question…

Question 10 was blank, her son couldn’t solve it at all.

And Lin Zhaoxi’s…

Zhaoxi wrote the right answer to question 10!

Xu An, holding two papers in her hands, stared at Lin Zhaoxi and asked very seriously, “How did you know the answer?”

“I figured it out.” Lin Zhao Xi turned slightly and replied.
