They arrived at Classroom 406 in the Laboratory Building.
Chen Shi'an, Lin Meng Qiu, and Yuan Xuan each found their assigned exam seat and sat down.
Most of the examinees had already arrived, and everyone's schoolbags were piled along the corridor by the door and near the lectern.
Having taken so many exams, Chen Shi'an was used to them. Taking this one at Jianzhang No. 1 High School did nothing to change his mindset; he remained as calm and relaxed as ever.
Chen Shi'an sat in seat number one, the very first seat at the front, closest to the door.
He turned to look around. Yuan Xuan was at the back of the next group of desks, while Lin Meng Qiu was in the middle of the third group.
As though sensing his gaze, Lin Meng Qiu, who was organizing her things, looked up at him too.
Their eyes met for a moment, and Chen Shi'an suddenly smiled and made an encouraging gesture at her.
The Class Monitor's pretty face reddened. She rolled her eyes at him disdainfully and looked away.
Yuan Xuan finished organizing her things first, stood up, and walked over to Lin Meng Qiu's desk. The two girls exchanged a few quiet words, then Lin Meng Qiu got up and went to the restroom with her.
There were quite a few examinees from other classes in the room, all drawn from the top three hundred students in their year and mixed together.
After spending over a week here, Chen Shi'an had learned to recognize everyone in his class, but there were still plenty of unfamiliar faces around him now. They looked at him curiously, and he looked back just as curiously.
After the Knowledge Competition and the Debate Competition, hardly anyone at Jianzhang No. 1 High School
