After the exam, Xingren's expressions were dark and gloomy unlike before. She knew she messed up. The exam was harder than she had expected, she thought that she had prepared well enough but the questions were so unexpected and difficult than other years' questions.
She rubbed her temples while walking towards the cafeteria when her friend joined her.
" Xingren, how was your exam? This year's exam was so hard. I almost cried when I saw the questions." she made a crying face dramatically.
" I wonder who's gonna top this year's exam. It's such a mess."
Xingren nodded. The exam was indeed hard. If the paper was difficult for everyone then she might have done better than others, she was preparing for it for so long after all. Thinking about this, she started to feel a bit better.
" Did you see that girl who submitted her paper early? Isn't that the same girl from the competition the other day?"
