Zou Ying picked up the paper, unfolded it, and compared the handwriting with Luo Yingbai’s and Zhao Qi’s exam papers, saying, “The handwriting seems more similar to Luo Yingbai’s…”
Luo Yingbai quickly interjected, “But the paper was in Zhao Qi’s hand when discovered. Teacher, it seems we both have suspicions, and we can’t clarify this quickly without disrupting everyone’s exam. Why don’t we go to the office to discuss?”
Zhao Qi: “…I haven’t finished my exam.”
Luo Yingbai said, “It’s fine. I’m almost done. Let’s go.”
This was between the two of them, and as a teacher, Zou Ying couldn’t let the entire exam room fall into chaos. She had no choice but to call an intern teacher to watch over the class while she led Zhao Qi and Luo Yingbai to the main office.
“Teacher Yao said: “No, it was originally Teacher Zou’s responsibility, but there seemed to be two students accusing each other of cheating in the exam hall, so Zou went to handle it, and I’m watching temporarily.”
“This is outrageous. Exam discipline must be handled seriously.” Principal Yi frowned and asked, “Is there a student named Luo Yingbai in this exam? Let me see his exam paper.”
He had heard a lot about Luo Yingbai from Yi Yong and was curious about his exam paper.
Chapter 20: Principal Yi Saves the Day
Teacher Yao looked through the sign-in sheet and indeed found Luo Yingbai’s name. After glancing at the notes beside it, her expression became somewhat strange, and she didn’t dare say much as she pulled out an exam paper and handed it over.
Principal Yi unfolded the paper and silently praised the “beautiful handwriting” in his mind.
Luo Yingbai had used a fountain pen, writing in elegant cursive.
Principal Yi looked through several major questions and found them well-answered. However, he noted that the student was lazy, always using the minimum number of words possible to explain something, which explained why Yi Yong both admired and was frustrated with him.
When he flipped to the last major question, he noticed it was only half-completed, which was unusual given Luo Yingbai’s typical level and concise answering style.
“Was he asleep again?” Principal Yi tapped the paper. “Our exam time is quite tight?”
