150 150 Hidden strength

The bell rang and the invigilators handed out the papers for the students to answer.

Tan Rou lowered her eyes and her curled eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. She roughly read the paper from the beginning to the end.

The questions on the paper werent too difficult. After all, it was a mock exam and most of them were basic questions. There were only a few difficult questions mixed in, which was still easy for Tan Rou. However, Tan Rou didnt become arrogant because of this. Instead, she looked at the paper seriously.

Tan Rou calculated in her heart that the time needed to finish this paper was probably less than one-third of the time taken for the exam.

However, she couldnt hand in his paper in advance nor could she lie on the table and take a nap. Wouldnt it be too boring if she just answered everything so quickly?

Tan Rou sighed and comforted herself. It was her first time taking an exam in school, so she shouldnt break the school rules. It would be too eye-catching. She calculated the time and slowly wrote down the answers at the speed of a normal student.

Tan Rou had already decided to keep a low profile. Otherwise, with her level, she would definitely be able to get the first place in the school with a score close to full marks. However, that would definitely attract many peoples speculations and doubts, which would be too troublesome.

Tan Rou was too lazy to explain and she didnt want to set up the image of a genius for herself. Besides Tan Jing, who was a restless factor, she still wanted to enjoy a simple and ordinary life.

Therefore, Tan Rou decided to hide her true strength and only wanted to control her strength to be slightly above Tan Jing.

Tan Rou thought to herself that she just wanted to compete with Tan Jing and did not need to create pressure for others.

Didnt Tan Jing always think that she was ignorant and incompetent? Wasnt Tan Jing waiting for her to make a joke of herself? First, Tan Rou would then score a little higher than Tan Jing. Then, Tan Rou would give Tan Jing a scare then admire her disbelieving expression. Tan Jing would want to try to overtake Tan Rou but no matter what, Tan Jing would fail at it.

When Tan Rou thought of this, she pursed her lips and laughed secretly. She felt that she was indeed a genius. Tan Jing would be angered to death if she did this.

After handing out the papers, Wei Ling had been observing Tan Rou from the corner of his eye. When she saw Tan Rou flip through the papers, ponder for a long time, she sighed and finally felt relieved.

Sure enough, Tan Rou reacted just as Tan Jing had said. Tan Rou knew nothing. After reading the questions, she sighed. This way, Tan Rous image as a bad student was basically confirmed. Tan Jing and her no longer really worry about their target. As long as Tan Rou got a bad result, the others who had a favourable impression of her would be immediately reduced.

Then, when Wei Ling saw that Tan Rou, who had just been staring at the paper in a daze, suddenly pursed her lips and laughed for some reason. Could it be that Tan Rou found the questions too difficult and imagined the scene of her being laughed at after the results came out and she had gone crazy with anxiety?

Wei Lings eyes widened as she looked at the paper in her hand. It was a normal paper. It didnt look very difficult. What was so funny?

Wei Ling felt that Tan Rou was acting weird. Perhaps Tan Rou had already given up. She didnt understand the world of bad students.

Wei Ling shook her head. She didnt care about Tan Rou for the time being and quickly started to answer the questions.

She had no other choice. Although she promised to help Tan Jing, she also needed to take the exam. She couldnt bring a zero home just to harm Tan Rou, right?

Wei Lings academic performance was average to begin with. This time, she had other things on her mind and it was even more difficult for her to sit for the exam. She could only force herself to finish the questions quickly and then deal with Tan Rou. Anyway, she was not allowed to leave early and Tan Rou couldnt run away either.

Tan Rou supported her head in boredom and slowly wrote down the answers on the paper to pa.s.s the time. In the end, she only chose a few questions from all the answers and wrote them down on the paper. Just like this, Tan Rou found it interesting to answer the questions while calculating the scores.

The sun shone in through the window and golden rays fell on Tan Rous table and body. Tan Rou squinted her eyes in comfort. She thought to herself, in order to anger Tan Jing to death, she had wasted a lot of time pretending to be a bad student. She just didnt know what Tan Jing and Wei Ling had planned. She couldnt help but feel sleepy. Tan Rou had hoped that they wouldnt be too stupid this time. She was hoping that they could be more creative this time!
