Chapter 879: Chapter 884: No Turning in the Exam Early
Lin Feng swiftly put on his clothes, rushed downstairs, checked out of the hotel, drove away, and then randomly found a small restaurant near the school to fill his stomach. By the time he returned to Jiangzhou University, the exam bell had already rung.
Lin Feng dashed into the exam hall with two pens he had just bought. Xu Jing and another teacher were already distributing exam papers.
Seeing Xu Jing, Lin Feng felt a bit guilty and hunched his neck, planning to quietly sneaking back to his seat and finish the exam without attracting attention.
Xu Jing glanced at Lin Feng hurriedly walking into the classroom, a cold sneer flashed across her face, replaced by an icy expression.
"Lin Feng?! Why are you so late?!"
Xu Jing turned to Lin Feng and questioned loudly. She naturally knew why Lin Feng was late; seeing his somewhat messy hair, she guessed Lin Feng and Wu Mei probably didn’t sleep much the previous night!
Filled with anger and a hint of jealousy, Xu Jing didn’t realize how terrifying her expression was right now!
"Uh..." Lin Feng didn’t expect Xu Jing to call him out suddenly and was a bit stunned. As the saying goes, leave room for people, so they can meet again later. Although Xu Jing and he hadn’t reached the "later" stage, Lin Feng thought Xu Jing would give him some face...
"Teacher Xu, the exam hasn’t started yet, so I don’t count as late!" Lin Feng explained awkwardly with a smile under the watchful gaze of the other students in the management class.
Although the exam bell had rung, many students hadn’t received their exam papers yet. Technically, the exam had just started, and generally, students couldn’t enter after being fifteen minutes late. Lin Feng arrived a bit late, but it wasn’t a disciplinary breach...
"I didn’t say you were late!" Xu Jing’s face became stiff, surprised at Lin Feng’s daring retort, with her anger rising even more, "I was asking why you’re so late?"
Then, Xu Jing explained through gritted teeth, "I’m just concerned about you..."
Concern?! Lin Feng chuckled bitterly, not expecting Xu Jing to have such thick skin. This kind of concern could scare many classmates...
Other students preparing for the exam also looked at Xu Jing speechlessly. They could clearly see that Xu Jing was deliberately targeting Lin Feng. However, Lin Feng was no longer the same; his standing among classmates had significantly improved. Seeing Xu Jing intentionally make it difficult for Lin Feng, even those with issues with him only watched the drama quietly. Those daring to gossip behind Lin Feng’s back were now few...
Some even spoke up for Lin Feng...
"Teacher Xu, we haven’t received our exam papers yet..." Sitting in the back row, Wang Zikai winked at Lin Feng and then raised his hand, sincerely reminding Xu Jing.
Wang Zikai was speaking up for Lin Feng, providing Xu Jing a way to back down. He certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to directly confront Xu Jing, as angering the class advisor was not a wise choice!
Upon hearing Wang Zikai’s words, Xu Jing realized that the situation wasn’t ideal and finally let Lin Feng go temporarily, continuing to distribute the exam papers...
Lin Feng smiled wryly, realizing that Wu Mei’s antics might have other consequences!
In the following time, after Xu Jing finished distributing the exam papers, she sat on the podium like a Buddha statue, staring wistfully at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes, barely moving her gaze, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, feeling as if on pins and needles, hurriedly answered the exam sheet, planning to submit it and leave early just like the previous day...
But as Lin Feng picked up his exam paper, preparing to leave, Xu Jing suddenly spoke up!
"Sit down! To prevent cheating, no one is allowed to leave early today!" Xu Jing said to Lin Feng with a teasing smile, exuding calmness.
"Huh?" Lin Feng was startled; no early submission? What’s going on? Never heard of such a rule at Jiangzhou University!
"Yes, you heard right! Today’s exam prohibits early submission. Just sit tight... There’s still an hour and a half until the end of the exam!" Xu Jing said, looking very pleased as she spoke to Lin Feng seriously.
Because exams at Jiangzhou University were all conducted by faculty teachers, they had significant authority. Due to confidentiality concerns, they did have the power to temporarily disallow early submissions, so Xu Jing was not being unreasonable in this aspect.
The female teacher serving as the assistant proctor looked curiously at Xu Jing, her expression revealing confusion, clearly indicating that Xu Jing’s rules were indeed spontaneous, not disclosed to her beforehand.
"But, Teacher Xu, we’re allowed to submit early after half an hour of the exam, aren’t we? I haven’t heard of such a rule!" Lin Feng said helplessly, looking at Xu Jing. He wasn’t insisting on leaving, but being watched by Xu Jing with such wistful eyes made sitting uncomfortable, didn’t it?
"Well, now you know!" Xu Jing replied calmly, "Just sit tight; no rush!"
Lin Feng felt exasperated... Darn it, Xu Jing must be targeting me, right?!
Xu Jing smirked coldly; she was indeed deliberately targeting Lin Feng. Women have small minds. Lin Feng annoyed her the previous night, and now that there’s an opportunity to make Lin Feng uncomfortable, she surely wouldn’t miss it...
Who cares about whatever meeting you have, whoever you’re supposed to meet, how good your grades are, or how skilled you are at exams. As long as the time isn’t up, you’re staying put right here—don’t even think about running off! Xu Jing thought sarcastically.
Darn it... Seeing Xu Jing’s somewhat smug face, Lin Feng really felt the urge to deal with her right then and there...
However, no choice—it’s a public setting, and Lin Feng needs to give the class adviser some respect. Especially in China, where respecting teachers is emphasized. No matter how rude Lin Feng’s personal attitude is towards Xu Jing, he must show respect for her opinions and decisions publicly, otherwise, his reputation would be tarnished...
Though reputation is a rather ethereal thing, Lin Feng still cherishes his own feathers quite much.
But it’s not like Lin Feng doesn’t have ways to combat Xu Jing. Although Xu Jing forced him to stay, she didn’t specify no sleeping. Since he expended so much energy the night before, he might as well grab some sleep.
Stacking the exam papers, Lin Feng lay down and started snoring away...
In this case, although Xu Jing was still a bit frustrated, she had no reason to penalize Lin Feng. Considering he believed he completed the exam satisfactorily, she couldn’t exactly wake him up to continue solving papers!
Indeed, the time passed quickly while sleeping; Lin Feng only felt his eyes close and open before the terminal bell rang.
Lin Feng was still the first to submit the papers, gracefully placing them in front of Xu Jing, and left without looking back...
Before leaving the exam hall, Lin Feng faintly heard Xu Jing’s voice issuing a low warning...
"Lin Feng, just you wait. I’ll deal with you next time..."
