High school time flies, the weather is getting cooler, and we have ushered in the end of the term...

This afternoon, Zhao Ai and their classmates were conducting their afternoon reading in an orderly manner. Although the head teacher had not yet officially announced the holiday time and exam schedule, the news had already spread among the students. Everyone knew that there would only be two classes this afternoon, and that would mark the end of this term.

As a result, everyone felt a little restless. A few mischievous boys went to the restroom at the start of afternoon study and vowed to return before class. Everyone practiced Hengshui-style English and regular script Chinese nonchalantly; everything seemed normal on the surface, but deep down, they were slacking off.

The bell rang, marking the end of lunchtime reading. The classroom immediately buzzed with excitement.

Qin Ning lay lazily on the table, Zhao Ai took my textbook out from the stack of books I had piled up and placed it on top, saying: "Here's your book, for next language arts class."

Qin Ning didn't turn her head and just hummed in response.

Zhu Chun quickly turned his head and said in an excited whisper, "Zhao Ai, do you know? They said today afternoon we only have two classes, and the rest of the time is left for us to review and for monitors to prepare the exam room. How good is that!"

Qin Ning impatiently said, "As if you'd actually review." She pushed Zhu Chun away from Zhao Ai's table with both hands and added, "Go over there!"

Zhu Chun immediately sat up straight and refused to lean on their table, saying: "I didn't expect you guys to know me so well! I'm just the monitor when nothing happens."

Qin Ning gave him a withering look. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he slowly came to a realization and said, "So... I'm also on duty?" (Frowning)

"Zhu Chun smiled and said, "That's right, today is our duty day." Mo Mo added silently, "We both have it! And Zhao Ai is also there, hehehe!"

Zhu Chunyi's face darkened, and he turned away to compose himself. Chen Kang stretched out his body again and happily said, "Zhu Chunyi, do you know? We…"

Zhu Chunyi tore open Chen Kang's face with his left hand and said, "I know!"

Chen Kang looked speechless and said, "When did you know? You didn't tell me!"

Class is in session…

Lean walked into the classroom leisurely with his teacup, placed his book on the teacher's desk and said, "I'd like to inquire about the schedule for these two classes."

After that everyone got excited.

"I told you I'd only take two classes! You didn't believe me."

"That's true, I only have two classes."

"Yay yay yay!"

Hu Wenyong rubbed his sleepy eyes. This guy had been sleeping since midday study and all the way until now. Looking at his deskmate who had woken him up, he said: "What's wrong, so excited?"

Huang Jinghua directly asked loudly, "Teacher Lei, are you only teaching two classes this afternoon?" Everyone agreed.

"Didn't your homeroom teacher tell you?" said Ryan with a smile.

Everyone chimed in with complaints: "The homeroom teacher is always notified last. Are you guys isolating our homeroom teacher?"

Lean laughed and said, "I told you in advance because I was afraid you would get too excited and couldn't learn."

"Oh no! How could this be?"

Leon interrupted, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"

Wong King-wah said, "What's the matter?"

"You guys only care about holidays, don't you?" Lei An said to Huang Jinghua with an air of disapproval.

Someone whispered, "So what?" Then everyone burst into laughter, luckily Lei An didn't hear it.

"Anyway, there are only two classes left, and we can't review much. You guys won't review properly if you go down anyway, so we need to make the most of our time."

He looked at everyone, and everyone nodded in agreement. "Hmm."

“So in the first class, we reviewed essay writing skills and reading comprehension techniques. In the second class, we mainly reviewed memorization content. I usually let you memorize at Ban Gan's place, which is passable. I don't know if you have been faking it, I actually don't believe it, but I wouldn't want to embarrass the class representative. Anyway, our goal is…”

Everyone shouted in unison: "The essay must get a high score, and we'll try our best to get full marks on the dictation. There mustn't be any blank questions, we are always the first!"

"Ryan said happily, 'Okay, let's do it.'"

At this time, a careful girl said: "Didn't Teacher Lei say to collect opinions?"

Lei Peng smiled and said, "No need, I have a plan. That's it!"

The girl nodded.

We seriously followed the teacher through the first class.

School is over, the teacher has finished her water too, so the teacher went back to her office.

As soon as the teacher left, our team leader stood up and said, "I haven't been too hard on you guys when it comes to memorizing things, so don't blame me now. Those of you who struggle should try harder." He glared at a few boys and said, "Especially you guys."

Other team leaders followed suit, and everyone unanimously comforted the leader, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, leader. We all understand."

In the last class, Rayan sat at the podium and looked around 180 degrees, letting us memorize our lessons.

Several people gather in groups, lift up stools and then look for their partners.

Zhu Chun turned around and said, "Let's draw each other's backs!" Qin Ning looked up and said, "Okay! Reciprocal?"

Chen Kang shook his head while waving his index finger in front of him, saying: "No no no, definitely not like that, how boring! We have a competition to see who can answer the fewest questions correctly. The person with the fewest correct answers has to accept a punishment, and the person with the most correct answers gets to come up with the punishment."

Qin Ning's eyes lit up, oS: "This is fun! Exciting..." I nodded and said, "This is good."

Zhao Ai nodded and said, "Okay."

Qin Ning watched Zhao Ai's slow movements and said, "You can't be too reserved, or you'll lose." Zhao Ai nodded softly and closed her eyes.

Chen Kang said happily: "Okay, that's it. Each person comes up with 5 questions, a total of 20 questions. After all the questions are finished and explained, you can raise your hand to answer. Otherwise, it doesn't count. I'll start asking."

"First, in the 《Gui Gu Lai Xi Ci》, who is being blamed for returning home after serving for a living instead of continuing to serve? Guess!"

Qin Ning raised his hand vigorously. Chen Kang nodded at Qin Ning, and Qin Ning quickly answered, "The journey is long, but I have finally realized the present moment is different from yesterday." They then reacted and raised their hands one after another.

Qin Ning and Chen Kang laughed at them for being too slow. Chen Kang said, "Deskmates, what's the matter? Are you giving up? Zhao Ai is faster than you."

Zhu Chunyi smiled dismissively and said, "You can't say that! Come again."

Qin Ning caught a whiff of competition, oS: "Something's not right."

Next, the second question: In "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng," which scene is considered by predecessors to be "writing all the scenery of September"?
Give your answer!

In a flash, Zhu Chunyi swiftly raised her hand. Zhao Ai glanced at Qin Ning and then raised her hand as well. Qin Ning was still pondering: "September signifies autumn."

Zhu Chunyi's words echoed in their ears: "The water is rough and the cold pond is clear, the smoke is condensed and the evening mountain is purple." Qin Ning felt a resonance with them. Qin Ning excitedly said: "Yes, that's it."

Okay, next question. What is the main theme of "The Petition for Imperial Favor" as illustrated by the metaphor of a crow feeding its parents? Quick answer!

Three people raised their hands together. Chen Kang said, "Oh! Answer together! Everyone gets extra credit."

"A secret love affair between ravens, I beg for your lifelong support," the three said in unison.

Chen Kang said: "It's too much trouble, like this, I will say the question and then answer, the fastest one gets points, those who are together get points together."

Everyone nodded, okay.

"Ten years of separating swords at Guanqiu?"

Qin Ning hurriedly replied, "Everything goes with the flow as dictated by Jin Shui!"

Chen Kang said happily, "As expected of you, you understand me too well. They probably haven't reacted yet!"

Qin Ning smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to bring up extracurricular activities."

The two of them stared at Qin Ning in disbelief. Zhu Chun said, "Regardless of whether it's outside of class or not, how did you know this was a problem? We thought it would be like just now, guessing the next sentence. How come you suddenly answered?"

Qin Ning said playfully, "Is that what you're thinking?" I turned to Zhao Ai, who couldn't help but smile and nod. "Well, we didn't quite catch on," she admitted.

We answered quickly and finally got the scores. Qin Ning scored 13 points, Yu Zhuchun scored 12 points, Chen Kang scored 10 points, and Zhao Ai scored 8 points.

Chen Kang said happily: "Ah~ Fortunately, I'm not last! Zhao Ai, accept your punishment well!"

Everyone looked at Qin Ning expectantly and said, "First place, how do you plan to punish the last place!"

Qin Ning thought for a moment and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, I'll owe you one!" After that, she glanced at Zhao Ai, who looked smug.

Qin Ning actually understood and whispered, "Zhao Ai, why did you aim for last place?"

Zhao Ai said, "I'm afraid you'll be too harsh on others."

"Oh, what a pity. I was hoping Zhao Ai would get punished!" Chen Kang said regretfully.

Zhao immediately became interested and asked, "Are you alright? You seem so eager to see me get punished!" He looked seriously at Chen Kang, then turned his head to look at Qin Ning, his eyes seeking an answer.

Zhao Aitai was too serious, Chen Kang suddenly felt a little awkward.

Zhu Chun smiled and broke the deadlock, saying: "What kind of punishment! The most important thing is to learn!"

"Zhao Ai chuckled softly and said, "That's right, the purpose of learning is to achieve it, isn't it? Why keep dwelling on punishment!"

Qin Ning said, "Yes, Zhao Ai is right." Then she leaned closer to Zhao Ai and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Why are you so serious?"

While Chen Kang showed a slight panic, his eyes signaled Zhu Chunyi. Zhu Chunyi immediately interrupted and said: "Alright, it seems we are all very skilled. Let's stop drawing."

Chen Kang said, “Okay, that’s it, although…” Before Chen Kang could say anything more, Yu Le immediately put her right hand around his neck and covered his mouth, saying, “Alright, class is almost over, let's stop talking.”

Chen struggled, Zhu Chun nervously said: "Brother, that's enough, didn't you see that they weren't happy?" He gave a hard stare with his eyes.

Chen Kang, a straight man, really didn't understand. However, he was also intimidated by Zhao Ai's aura and said to Qin Ning: "Qin Ning, I really don't understand this, and I don't understand that I was wrong! But, sorry."

Qin Ning nodded.

It's almost time for class to end, the two of them turned around and sat up straight.

Qin Ning turned her head to look at Zhao Ai. She stared coldly out the window. Seeing his thoughtful expression, Qin Ning was immediately puzzled. Qin Ning clenched her right fist against her chin and turned her head to look at Zhao Ai's expression, which was unclear. There was sadness, anger...

"Qin Ning oS: "What's wrong with Zhao Ai! It's fine if you don't participate seriously in the good learning atmosphere, but intentionally getting last place is obviously letting water down! Then, if you lose, you should be punished. Why are you so angry? Did your aunt flow? Your mood is bad, it shouldn't be!"

It's time to go home.

Zhao Ai turned her head and saw Qin Ning staring at her blankly. She smiled gently and whispered, "What are you looking at! So serious."

Qin Ning then woke up, shifted his gaze and said, "It's nothing."

Zhao Ai Zhi simply responded: "Okay!"

Qin Ning oS: "Why are you so cold?" Qin Ning reached out and grabbed his shoulder. Zhao Ai hurriedly turned his head, and Qin Ning said, "Don't you want to say why you suddenly got so angry? Are you uncomfortable?"

"An?" Zhao Ai looked at me with a puzzled face.

"Just now! Why are you so mean to them?"

"What do you want to know?"

Zhao Ai said seriously: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel they are very annoying! Think about it, if the first place wasn't you, and the last place wasn't me, what if the last place was you, wouldn't they mess things up?"

Qin Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I see you were worried about me!"

Zhao Ai shook her head in denial.

Qin Ning was just about to speak when the homeroom teacher walked into the classroom. The classroom instantly fell silent. Qin Ning whispered, "Thank you."

Zhao Ai nodded and turned back.

The head teacher stood at the podium and said, "I presume everyone knows that the next class is canceled. I leave it to the monitor to arrange the examination room."

The entire classroom erupted in an uproar, filled with gasps and exclamations, mostly directed at the teacher's actions.

"Wow, you're just saying it now."

"Indeed, it was said at the last."

"

Lao Ban's messages are not as readily available to us.

"What the heck, I just wanted to warn you guys beforehand so none of you would feel like going to class."

"Can you?" A small head, a big question mark.

"Yes!"

The head teacher signaled for everyone to be quiet. Then he said, "Okay, the rest of the time is your review time. Now you can tidy up your desks, and all desks must be clear of books. Then, when Zhu Chun comes up, tell him to set up the exam room."

A student said: "Old Class Teacher, do we need to go back to the classroom for review tonight's evening self-study?"

Old Class said, "If you don't attend two classes, you must stay for self-study until 10 p.m."

"Ahhh! How could this happen!" Everyone sighed in dismay.

The head teacher said, "Wouldn't it be better if evening study was moved up by forty minutes?"

"Oh no!" Everyone burst into laughter.

When Zhu Chunyi came to the homeroom teacher's side, the homeroom teacher took out the exam arrangement table and said: "Zhu Chunyi, we are only responsible for our classroom. Then arrange 30 desks and place them in the order of 8778. Then add one extra bench at the front and back for the invigilator to sit on. Remember, the benches and tables cannot shake or affect the candidates' exams."

Zhu Chuny said: "OK, I understand. It's about the same every time.

The head teacher said seriously, “Of course, we always follow the same standards as the college entrance exam. Do you know why?”

Zhu Chun nodded slightly: "Well! A small test is like a big one, and a big test is like a small one."

The head teacher said with a satisfied nod, "Well, although that's the case, every exam is important. You understand now, right? Then, all of our designs on the wall are covered with white paper to ensure the clock time doesn't deviate too much. The examination number and candidate information are posted outside the door."

After arranging everything well, the head teacher went to the pre-exam meeting.
