In the afternoon, Song Jiawen still turned in her comprehensive science exam half an hour early.
The same happened with Chinese and English the next day.
Teachers and students were all somewhat puzzled. Was she cutting it too close with her timing?
After the monthly exams ended, classes went on as usual on Friday, but the students were somewhat distracted, as everyone was keen to find out who would be this term's top scorer.
However, the two main contenders didn't care at all.
Zhu Zhen was indifferent because he had already predicted the outcome and was thoroughly convinced by Song Jiawen's abilities.
And Song Jiawen...
Having come first so many times probably led her to become indifferent about it; exams were a mere formality for her, and she no longer paid attention to the results.
Jiang Yan had become indifferent too, not about his own grades but about Song Jiawen.
She was a freak; there was no need to guess how much she would score, nor to expect anything different.
