Sorry, My Beloved Is The Motherland - Chapter 14.1 - Shocking The Examiners Is Better Than Dating

Already seated in the examination hall, Ning Fu had no idea that her father, whose thought process was completely different from hers, had decided to bring her back to the city immediately after the exam.

Ning Fu was working on her last question. There was still nearly an hour left before the exam ended.

This session was mathematics.

For many of the people sitting in the examination hall today, this test was not easy.

They stood at the crossroads of a significant turning point in their lives, and this thin sheet of paper with a few questions would determine the direction of their future destinies.

Some people might only have an elementary school education, while others, having spent years in the “vast world with great potential,” had forgotten how to hold a pen.

Some were diligently writing, some were so anxious that their faces turned red and they scratched their heads, and others, faced with a paper full of incomprehensible questions, sat hopelessly, the light in their eyes extinguished.

In such a setting and under such circumstances, someone’s mental state was bound to collapse suddenly.

For instance, the examinee sitting next to Ning Fu.

There was no other reason—Ning Fu was answering the questions far too quickly.

—The worst thing during an exam is sitting next to a top student, especially when the test has many pages.

The mere sound of flipping pages can drive your fragile nerves insane.

Those who know, know.

But usually, people just get anxious; unlike now—the male educated youth sitting next to Ning Fu had a complete breakdown.

“Can you stop flipping pages!” he roared, his entire face turning a purplish-red, veins bulging on his neck.

This thunderous shout stunned the entire examination hall, including the invigilators.

He then slammed his fist onto the desk with such force that it bled.

The examinee immediately regretted his outburst, his face growing even more troubled.

By this time, the invigilator had already approached, signaling him to adhere to the examination rules. He was relatively lucky, receiving only a warning and not being expelled from the exam hall.

He panted heavily, trying his best to calm down, and picked up his pen again, though his hand continued to tremble.

He couldn’t help but glance to the side, and Ning Fu was looking at him. Their eyes met, and Ning Fu gave him an apologetic smile.

For the remaining forty minutes, Ning Fu did not turn a single page of her exam paper.

She sat quietly until the exam ended.

She was so quiet that the examinee who had just had a breakdown was surprised, and even felt a bit guilty.

The bell signaling the end of the exam rang, and the invigilators began collecting the papers.

Before leaving, the boy awkwardly apologized to her, “I’m sorry, I was just too nervous. It wasn’t directed at you. Did not flipping the pages at the end affect you?”

Ning Fu smiled and shook her head, waving goodbye to him, “Good luck on your next exam!”

This exam, destined to be a historic milestone, was only halfway through, and Ning Fu had already become famous among the examinees and invigilators.

—She was the odd one who finished early and caused a fellow examinee to break down just by flipping through her paper!

That wasn’t even the strangest part!

After the other person had a breakdown, she really did stop flipping through her paper and sat quietly until the exam ended!

—Didn’t she realize that this might make the other person’s mental state even worse?!

The next exam was the comprehensive science test, and the invigilator was an old professor who had been sent to a county high school a few years ago to work as a gatekeeper. He had just been reassigned to teach in the city again recently.

He was determined to see this “remarkable person” for himself.

He paced by Ning Fu’s side.

Then he noticed that for the comprehensive science test, which was almost the most difficult for these examinees, she had already finished early.

This was indeed rare.

The old professor couldn’t help but pass by her again.

And again.

Once more.

Each time the invigilator passed by, he seemed to linger behind her for a minute longer than he did with others.

Despite this, Ning Fu remained as calm as ever.

—If you have experienced the domineering CEO’s wall slam and the villain’s intense gaze in countless quick transmigration worlds, then the invigilator’s stare from behind your neck is hardly scorching.

She even playfully listed out all the solutions.

Old Professor: Not a remarkable person, but a mad one.

If the difficult problems in the exam were like a bunch of tangled yarn, testing the examinees’ ability to untangle them into neat balls within the two-hour exam period, then this student—she had knitted a sweater in just one hour!

And in this exam, just as the rumors said, she finished writing her paper, reviewed it once for confirmation, and then didn’t flip through it again.

After the exam ended, the old professor couldn’t help but call out to Ning Fu and ask, “Why didn’t you check your answers more thoroughly?”

Ning Fu replied, “Frequent page-turning might disturb other examinees.”

The old professor said, “Do you know what the college entrance exam means? This is not the time to sacrifice your own future for the sake of others’ feelings!”

He valued talent. But he couldn’t believe that in the first year of the reinstated college entrance exam, during the very first test, in this remote area among the educated youths, someone would treat this exam as if it were an ordinary test.

Not checking was a form of carelessness.

He looked at the young girl in front of him, unsure whether she was too arrogant or too kind-hearted.

But she simply gave a calm smile.

“I understand. Thank you, Professor.”

The implication was that if it wasn’t within her capability, she wouldn’t have done it.

The old professor shook his head and sighed.

“You are too cavalier about your own future and destiny. ”

T/N: ‘cavalier’ means too casual.

Ning Fu said, “Professor, believe me, I take my future and the future of everyone in this room very seriously.”

She knew that the elderly invigilator meant well, so she smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even with just one review, I can still top the exam.”

means that the person is being overly casual, careless, or indifferent about important decisions and actions that will significantly impact their future.
