It was 9:20 when the call finally got through.
Huang Kai dialed Jiang Yan's examination number first. As the slow, mechanical female voice began to speak, he hastily grabbed a piece of paper from the side and took a pen in hand, ready to jot down the scores.
However...
Chinese: 0
Math: 0
English: 0
Science Comprehensive: 0
Total score: 0.
After jotting down the scores, Huang Kai was stunned. Even Jiang Yan was staring wide-eyed with his mouth agape, completely dumbfounded.
Song Jiawen was the first to snap back to reality, turning to Jiang Yan with a horrified expression, "Didn't you fill out the answer sheet?"
How could that be possible?
Something clicked in Huang Kai's mind, and he blurted out "fuck" repeatedly. While redialing the number, he explained to the pair, "It's not necessarily zero. It could be blocked. Usually, the top fifty in the province are blocked. Fuck! Top fifty in the province?"
