I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 92

Chapter 92 – What happened? Why did Gu Shao sign up to the competition? (4)

Nevertheless, it looked like he wasn't planning on revealing his identity to her just yet?

“Here, you can use this.” Gu Xi handed him a pen.

Gu Chenyi was dumbfounded when he saw the pen that Gu Xi was handing over to him: Xixi offered to lend him a pen! And her smile was so friendly!

It had only been a day!

It must have been his chivalry act yesterday that had earned her fondness.

Gu Chenyi felt very emotionally secretively.

Over on the other side, after Gu Xi had shoved the pen into Gu Chenyi's hand, she thought about it some and also gave him half of her scratch papers.

“Oh right. Have half of my eraser too.” As she spoke, she sliced her eraser into halves with her utility knife and handed half over to him.

Looking at the stack of stationaries, no, care from his own family, Gu Chenyi was short of crying from his emotions: Xixi was too wonderful to him!

If this was a dream, please keep going.

“Good luck,” said Gu Xi to Gu Chenyi. She sat down at her own spot and got ready to begin.

The dean and another proctoring teacher quickly distributed the test papers to every one of them.

Once she had received the test papers, Gu Xi glanced over it from beginning to end.

There was a total of 4 subjects – mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. All of them on the same set of paper. Each of them taking up one page.

There were only 10 questions on each subject and all of them were multiple choices.

The dean started talking, “This test is put together with questions from past competitions. They are on the same level of difficulty.

“There's a total of 40 problems and you have an hour to complete them. Time yourself accordingly.”

40 problems in 60 minutes were not a big deal. Nevertheless, before everyone could feel happy about that, the dean told them the other request that was sufficient to make them unhappy. “They might be multiple choices, but you need to write out your steps.”

“Really? We have to write out our steps of solving for the answers?” That was like having to copy everything on their scratch paper onto the test paper.

“No wonder there are all these blank spaces under every question.”

“That's too much hassle……”

“Why not just give us problems instead?”

Someone complained in a low voice.

“Quiet.” The dean glared over at the few who talked and carried on. “They are multiple choices because that's what you will see in the competition. As for asking you to write down your process, that's for the teachers to better evaluate your condition and level.

“Alright, that's enough chitchatting. Let's get started.”

The dean drummed on the desk and announced that the timing has begun. The few in front of her finally stopped talked and started working on their examinations quietly.

Gu Xi, too, stopped thinking about this and that and started focusing on her problems.

The first question of a geometry one. After underlining the important data, Gu Xi started scribbling.

She had just written down the first word when she stopped herself.

The teacher only asked for them to write down their process. They didn't ask for anything specific.

Besides, these were multiple choice. Theoretically there was only one way to grade. They were either right or wrong. There were no partial credits for the process.

She thought about it some and finally decided against the step-by-step process that one would use to solve for a problem. Instead, she drew a diagram on the test paper and marked all of the data and their relationships on there one by one. She was able to quickly deduct the answer to the question.

The next one was a calculation one and judging from what were given, the answer should be a 7-digit number. As such, the answer would be either A or C.

Gu Xi used the last digit of each of the numbers for her calculation and figured out that the last number should be a 7. The answer was, therefore, C.

Moving on to question #3……

She had done too many similar ones to know that B was the right answer at first glance.

Nevertheless, she hesitated for 2 seconds and finally scribbled down some simple thought process.

Once she had gotten used to the style of answering, Gu Xi was able to pick up on her speed.

It was very quiet in the examination room. The only noises that could be heard was that of the tips of pencils running across papers.

It took Gu Xi 30 minutes to get through all of the questions. She habitually reviewed the questions one more time before she stopped.

Gu Xi looked up. The others should still be working on theirs.

Sheng Xiuyan and Gu Chenyi had already turned in their papers without her knowing and were relaxing in the back of the classroom. One of them was spinning the basketball and the other one sleeping.

Gu Xi turned away and decided to go over her paper one more time – she adamantly refused to “stoop to their level”.
