She had not even made it to the first long question yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that everyone was writing fast, Ye Ci simply gave up on the remaining few fill-in-the-blanks and turned to the long question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking through the question, she still could not figure out how to solve it, so she wrote out a few formulas that she had memorized for kinematics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Li.” The boy sitting on her right suddenly raised his hand. “I’ve run out of draft paper. Can I please get another one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan walked over with a new stack of draft paper and gave one to the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Mr. Li.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy took it and continued to write vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan did a half-turn and his glance unintentionally swept over Ye Ci’s paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ci’s heart clenched. ‘My first page is still mostly blank!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly turned the paper over and pretended to start writing on the second page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan did not notice her abnormality and moved away after just a glance. He looked at the class and asked, “Who else needs more draft paper?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more students raised their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Ci hesitated and followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her draft paper was indeed quite full, but it was filled with a lot of her previous miscalculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan handed out the draft papers one by one, then walked around the classroom again before finally returning to take a seat at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his phone and reminded the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s still one hour left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the students heard this, the sound of writing in the classroom sped up a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, Ye Ci had barely even solved two long questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had looked through the rest and did not know how to solve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, even if she was given a few more hours, she would still not be able to solve them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, someone at the back of the classroom stood up and walked towards the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone subconsciously turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held her paper in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned seeing her like this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘She’s going to turn in her paper early!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had actually finished all these questions at this difficulty level, ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan was also surprised and sat upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li came to the front. “Mr. Li, I’m done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The classroom was dead silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘OMG… Seriously?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan asked skeptically, “Are you sure you want to turn it in now?

When he looked at Ning Li again, his expression became more gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, put the paper here. By the way, please hand in your draft paper as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li went back to her seat to get the draft paper and came back to hand it over to Li Guangyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan took a casual glance at her paper and was immediately stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Why is this student’s draft paper so clean? Even if she knew the answers to these questions, there were a lot of calculations, so how did she do it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at Ning Li with some disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li looked calm. “Mr. Li, is there a problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan was momentarily stunned before recovering himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, no…you can leave first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li packed her backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to leave, Li Guangyuan suddenly called out to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, you’re from Yunzhou Second High School…Ning Li, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was so recognizable that it was hard to forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li nodded her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Li Guangyuan wave his hand. “Alright, go ahead then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li then walked out of the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guangyuan watched her leave and looked at her paper again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three teachers had come up with these questions together, so he was very clear about the answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick sweep, Li Guangyuan carefully folded the paper and put it into his folder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked at the other students in the classroom again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are still fifty minutes left.
