It wasn’t a big exam, but if the teachers in each class used the same test paper, in order to avoid each class leaking the questions, they would hold it on the same day, in the morning, or afternoon.

More often, it was on self-study’s time.Therefore, all classes had math tests in the first period but chinese tests were in a different period. However, on the first evening of self-study, they took the first two subjects, Chinese and math.

After the evening self-study, apart from a few individual scum in Class 16, all students including Class 16 were discussing this exam.

Unlike class 16, for whom math paper was too difficult, students from other classes all put together the answers.

The ones living on campus would get together and talk about the exam questions. The others went home, but they were few.

Su Xingchen didn’t return to her room immediately. At this time, the girls in the bedroom lined up to wash their face and brush their teeth and then went to bed to read. The entire bedroom would be messy. She had nothing else to do when she went back, so she had to wait.

So she might as well go over the questions in the class.

Now she felt that answering questions was a very interesting thing, it was much more interesting than going back to quarrel with the little girl at her lower bed.

After looking over the questions for forty minutes, she finished them. She also packed up the papers, brought two books and went to the water dispenser under the dormitory.

Although the bathroom in the dormitory had hot water, it was limited in supply. It was similar to the water heater in the Su’s house. Generally, after using it for half an hour to an hour, the hot water would be gone. On average, six girls in the dormitory could only wash for ten minutes.

So after two hours from self-study, the dormitory was very noisy and it was generally difficult to finish washing within an hour. The thing was, if one was bathing and lights were turned off, the hot water would disappear in a while.

Whoever took more time, the other would quickly knock on the door to remind, “You bathed for more than ten minutes, come out!”

Inside, “I am coming, I have to wear my clothes!”

Or, “I came in at 9:40, and it’s 9:47 now, I still have three minutes.”

Or just scream, “Who finished all the hot water!”

All the girls didn’t take baths every night. Those who loved cleanliness took a bath every day. Some took a bath every other day, and lazy ones, once a week.

They changed their clothes and threw them in a box to take them home for washing on the weekend.

If there were few people taking a bath, the process would be a little faster, and they could reserve an hour later to study a book. If not, they could just read the book while soaking their feet in hot water.

When Su Xingchen returned to the bedroom, they had not finished washing yet.

Shan Qing was putting skincare products on her face in front of the mirror. Zhang Wenqi was sitting on the bed and reading a book while washing her feet. An Ran’s movements had always been the most agile in the bedroom, she had climbed onto the bed to study. Zhang Yingying talked about today’s paper, “People said that today’s fill-in-the-blank questions were very simple. They were common famous sentences. I have made several mistakes, how were they common? I have never seen them!”

Zhang Wenqi, who was sitting in the lower bunk heard her and proudly said, “How were they not common? Were they very common? Yes they were, if you don’t have knowledge, you should say you don’t know. You should increase the amount of reading you do.”

An Ran and Zhang Yingying looked at each other and stopped talking.

Zhang Yingying couldn’t help but reply, “Have I asked you?”

When she saw Su Xingchen coming back, she asked, “Why did you come back so late? I just finished the hot water, and it’s burning, you wait ten minutes.”

Su Xingchen also carried a bottle of hot water in her hand, which could be basically used for drinking or soaking feet, or for other purposes. Sometimes when they were hungry at night, they would also make instant noodles.

Su Xingchen replied casually, “I studied in the class.”

Zhang Wenqi said again, “Did you not come because you were embarrassed you would fail. Were you crying?”

She smirked, “I forgot, it’s normal for you to fail in the exams.”

An Ran / Zhang Yingying / Su Xingchenl, “…”

Even Shan Qing, who rarely spoke, said, “Why does it matter to you if someone failed the test?”

“I don’t think you have a good grade in the honourable class, right? You haven’t even been in the top 100, don’t fall into our regular class, the joke would be big.”

There were sixteen classes in each grade. In addition to the special classes 16, there were three honourable classes in each grade, twelve regular classes with forty students in each class.

So the honourable class had a total of 120 students.

But these 120 students were not static. At the end of each semester, students who fell out of the top 120 would be transferred back to their original class.

However, there were exceptions to everything. Not every student who was on the top 120 was willing to enter the honourable class.

Some students, when they were in the regular class, were the top students in their class and had their teacher’s attention. But as soon as they reached the honourable class, they became at the end of the ranking. They weren’t suitable for the high-intensity studying rhythm of the honourable class, so these students would go crazy when they got transferred to the honourable class.  

So these kinds of students would rather stay in their regular class rather than go to the honourable class.

Therefore, the honourable class’s students weren’t necessarily better than the students in the regular class. Some of the top of the regular class were also better than the students at the end of the honourable class.

The students in the honourable class were also under great pressure. Every time the monthly test results came out, they were afraid of falling out of the top 100. Because it would be dangerous once they dropped from the top 100.

They would study harder in order not to be pulled down.

Otherwise, they would be ashamed to return to their original class.

Zhang Wenqi belonged to this category beyond the top 100.

But she was not worried, but rather proud.

She was mainly serious in science. She always believed that as long as she got full marks in arts and sciences, she would be fine.

Zhang Wenqi hummed, “Even if I fall into the regular class, I would crawl back!”

She was now waiting for the end of next semester.
