"The results come out tomorrow and we have to fill out our college preferences. I'm so nervous, are you nervous?" Hu Xiufang's heart pounded uncontrollably at the thought of their exam scores, muttering to herself, "You've got an admission notice already, so it doesn't matter if you don't do well."
Li Qiao: "Are you nuts? What's there to be nervous about with scores around 600?"
"I'm worried that a teacher might have marked my paper wrong or added up the scores incorrectly." Hu Xiufang was fraught with anxiety, having slept poorly for the past couple of days.
Li Qiao laughed at Hu Xiufang's self-imposed worries: "They wouldn't just have one teacher for marking and tallying scores, would they?" She believed the chance of such errors occurring in such an important exam was very low.
She consoled Hu Xiufang a bit.
Then she took out some flaky candy that she had bought from the Peony Commune and handed it to Hu Xiufang, "Try some, it's really tasty and sweet."
