Teacher Chen's expression didn't seem feigned at all; if he had something to hide, his demeanor wouldn't be like this.
Chen Hai took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Biting his lip, he began to speak, "Teacher Chen, I'm not doubting your character, but I just feel that the score you've told me differs too greatly from what I had estimated myself!"
While speaking, he wracked his brain to recall all the details during the examination.
For instance, did he write his name correctly, or whether the answers he had copied were placed in the right positions.
After reflecting for a while, he was certain that he hadn't made any mistakes in those aspects.
If his score had been above five hundred, he could have accepted it; after all, it's normal for there to be some discrepancy between the estimated and the actual scores.
But now, a score of one hundred eighty-six was just too far from his estimated five hundred and eight; the gap was so large it was preposterous.
