Chapter 68 - Passing Paper Balls Around During the Examination

Xie Chaochao played with Xiao Hua in her hand. She couldn’t understand their feelings at all.

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

Xu Shan looked at Xie Chaochao in disbelief.

“If you do badly, will your father punish you when you go back?”

Xie Chaochao thought about it for a moment. When she was in primary school, she fell asleep during an examination. In the end, she did not answer half the questions and her score was very low. When she went back, her father gave Xiao Hu all the roasted chicken that he had bought for her.

“There will be punishment!”

“Then, why aren’t you worried about the examination?”

Xie Chaochao said very seriously, “That’s because my results are very good!”

Xu Shan looked at Fatty as if he was trying to confirm the authenticity of Xie Chaochao’s words.

Fatty nodded. “When we were in primary school, Sister Chaochao was the student with the best grades in our cohort! Now, she’s also the student with the best grades in our class!”

Xu Shan only knew how to play all day long. He didn’t even care about his studies, much less Xie Chaochao’s grades. Even when he heard Fatty say that Xie Chaochao’s grades were this good, he still couldn’t believe it.

He always played with Xie Chaochao, but he never saw her learn diligently. How could her grades be the best in the class?

Xu Shan became even more depressed. He stopped complaining to Xie Chaochao and returned to his class dejectedly.

Fatty leaned over to Xie Chaochao’s ear and whispered, “Sister Chaochao, can you let me copy your answers during the examination tomorrow?”

Fatty’s father knew that there were examinations this week. Before he came to school, he had already set a target for Fatty. If his grades failed to achieve the target, he would be hung up and beaten up at home!

He really couldn’t think of any solution, so he went to Xie Chaochao to discuss the idea of copying her answers.

The next day, the teachers moved all the things on the table to the corridor outside the classroom. The examination was about to begin.

The students were all seated in their seats for the examination. There was also a distance between their desks to prevent them from seeing the answers on their classmates’ papers.

It was unknown how Fatty managed to discuss with the student behind Xie Chaochao. In short, when the examination started, he exchanged seats with that student and sat behind Xie Chaochao.

The invigilator was not a teacher who taught them. She did not know that someone had switched seats without permission.

Xie Chaochao ignored Fatty. As soon as the paper was given out, she diligently reviewed the questions and answered them.

At first, Fatty was still quite honest. As time passed, he started looking around. When the teacher wasn’t paying attention, he threw a small paper ball at Xie Chaochao.

The paper ball landed on Xie Chaochao’s paper. Xie Chaochao quietly opened it and saw that there were only two words on it.

Xie Chaochao wrote on the paper for a moment before passing it back to Fatty.

Fatty smiled as he held the paper ball. Just as he was about to quietly open it, someone suddenly shouted.

“Teacher, someone is passing the answers around.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fatty was shocked. He turned around and saw Wang Xiaomei standing at the side, pointing at Xie Chaochao.

The teacher on the podium immediately came down to take a look. “Who passed the answers around?”

Wang Xiaomei did not give Fatty the chance to destroy the evidence. She stepped forward and grabbed his hand, allowing the teacher to see the paper ball in his hand.

The invigilator walked toward Fatty with a serious expression. “Do you see the words on the blackboard? It’s a test of integrity! Give me the paper ball! Also, who passed this paper ball to you?”

Wang Xiaomei pointed at Xie Chaochao and said, “Teacher, it’s her. I saw with my own eyes that she passed the paper ball to the back!”

Wang Xiaomei overheard Fatty pleading with Xie Chaochao to allow him to copy her answers. She immediately had an idea.

If the teacher were to catch Xie Chaochao cheating, the teacher would definitely be disappointed in her and even invalidate her grades!

Hence, she switched seats with a classmate and deliberately sat behind Xie Chaochao and Fatty, monitoring their every move.
