"Yuanjia, wake up..."

It seemed like someone was pushing him. Yuan Jia opened his eyes drowsily. The sun shone on his face, and his eyes were balled up, making it difficult for him to tell whether he was dreaming or reality.

It took him a while to come back to his senses before he could see the current environment clearly.

A familiar class in my memory, with thick textbooks piled on the rows of seats, young faces chatting and chasing each other in groups, blue and white school uniforms, and a sign saying '85 days until the college entrance examination' hanging at the back of the classroom.

Countdown...

I am...

Yuan Jia was stunned, his eyes widened like a fool, and he pinched himself hard. Whether it was the touch of his right hand or the heartbreaking pain coming from the back of his left hand, they all conveyed a message to him. This

It's not a dream, it's all real.

On the contrary, the original reality began to drift away gradually, as if he had had a dream for a long time, and he was just waking up from the dream.

He hasn't gone to college yet, hasn't had a job yet, doesn't have a system, and his sister hasn't been born yet... He's just a senior in high school.

"What's wrong with you? You have an exam soon. Did you stay up all night reading last night?" Luo Qian, his deskmate, asked in confusion.

"No...it's okay..."

Yuan Jia's rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and the original reality seemed to have turned into a dream. His original consciousness was quickly blurring, but he was the reality now.

"I just had a long, long dream, and I haven't come back to my senses..."

"What were you dreaming about?"

"Can not remember……"

Luo Qianhao laughed and scolded him as an idiot, and quickly urged Yuan Jia: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and pack up and go to the examination room. The exam will start soon. Haha, God bless me, this time I am sitting next to you."

!”

Yuan Jia asked subconsciously: "What will be the test later?"

"Mathematics! It's your best subject. I heard that the math scores in this monthly exam will be statistically ranked across the class. The top five will be eligible to enter the Olympiad group. If they get good results in the exam later, they will be directly recommended to the university! Old Chen

But I’m very optimistic about you!”

"I feel like I'm not in a good state today...my head is feeling dizzy."

"Hey, it doesn't matter. I don't expect to be in the top five in the exam. When the time comes, give me a look at your paper. I'll just pass it. Let's go..."

At Luo Qian's urging, Yuan Jia picked up the examination tools, and the two of them came to the examination room together.

The atmosphere of preparation for the exam was serious. Everyone was quietly waiting for the invigilator to come over. Yuan Jia also began to recall the knowledge content he had learned and the question types he had seen.

I seemed to have slept so deeply just now that my mind is still a little groggy.

Yuan Jia was rarely distracted.

[Lao Chen is very optimistic about you in this exam]

[Mathematics is your best subject]

[There will be a parent-teacher meeting after this monthly exam]

[There are 85 days left until the college entrance examination]

[Jia, let me cook you something delicious for lunch. Let’s see if we can get into the top three this time]

[Don’t worry, first place is not a problem either]

[My goal is to get a place in the Olympiad group, and the first prize in the country can be recommended to Qingbei]

[That is, my son is the best at reading]

Various fragments kept popping up in Yuanjia's mind, including his goals before the exam, the expectations of his parents and teachers, the expectations of his classmates...

You must not fail this exam!

Yuan Jia clenched his fists, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms.

Soon, the invigilator came over. It was Lao Chen, whom Yuan Jia was very familiar with. His eyes swept over the students below, and then fell on Yuan Jia's face and looked at him twice. There was confidence in him in his eyes.

"The exam lasts 120 minutes. Students who need to go to the toilet should go there now."

After the words fell, two or three classmates got up and went to the toilet.

Yuan Jia also stood up, and Luo Qian looked at him curiously. What's going on? Yuan Jia has kidney failure? Didn't he just take a shower when he first came here?

Yuan Jia didn't think so much. He just thought that he must not fail the test this time. He was aware of his nervousness and stood for a long time in the toilet without peeing.

Don't be nervous...don't be nervous...steady...

Yuan Jia gave herself a psychological hint, put on her pants, washed her face, and quickly returned to the test room.

When the time came, the exam began, and the papers were handed out. Yuan Jia quickly scanned the questions. They were all very familiar question types, and he felt a little more at ease.

After writing his name and class exam number, Yuanjia began to answer the questions.

The previous questions went smoothly until the last multiple-choice question, when Yuanjia got stuck.

He had done a similar question type before, but this time he made some changes. Yuan Jia couldn't remember the idea for a while.

His palms began to sweat, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his mouth and tongue were slightly dry. Yuanjia picked up the kettle and drank a few sips of water.

My eyes are still on that question. I have already drawn more than half a page on the draft paper to solve the problem, but I still have no idea...

This question is not difficult...but why can't I figure it out?

Each multiple-choice question is worth five points. If you lose these five points, it will not be easy to make up for it by thinking about the following questions...

The students who did the questions earlier were not as fast as Yuan Jia, but now they all started to turn the pages. The sound of turning the papers was like a death bell. It seemed that everyone knew this question, but Yuan Jia, the most promising one, couldn't do it.

Same.

Yuan Jia felt his hands and feet were cold and his brain was swollen. He looked up at the time and unknowingly, he spent more than ten minutes on this multiple-choice question!

Can't stay here any longer...

Yuanjia skipped this question and started to do the following questions.

But that multiple-choice question kept popping up in his mind, seriously interfering with his way of solving the problem, and he stumbled all the way to the last big question.

Trigonometric functions, solid geometry, probability and statistics, analytical geometry...

Yuan Jia's mind was a little confused. These questions, which were originally his strengths, now seemed to have turned his back on them. His thoughts were filled with all kinds of confusing data, knowledge, and the expectations of teachers, classmates, and parents before the exam...

…

Yuan Jia's face was pale, and he felt waves of nausea welling up in his throat. His hand holding the pen was shaking, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his head was pounding...

This exam passed like a dream...

Until a classmate who I knew sitting in front started to collect the papers. When he saw Yuan Jia's paper with all the answers, he couldn't help but asked: "Yuan Jia, why do you have so much space?"

The classroom door opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in, sending chills down his spine through his soaked clothes.

Only then did Yuan Jia come to his senses and the exam was over.

He failed miserably in mathematics, which he was best at. What ranked first, what was recommended to Qingbei, what was most favored by the teacher... everything was shattered into rubbish.

Yuan Jia seemed to be able to see the disappointment of his teacher, the confusion of his parents, and the gloating expressions of his classmates. At this moment, he just wanted to find a hole and crawl in forever.

After coming out of the classroom, Yuan Jia remained silent.

"Hey Yuanjia, what's going on with you today? I sent you several passwords but you didn't hear them. The key is that I glanced at your paper. Why did you leave so many blanks and didn't do anything?"

"Luo Qian, I don't feel well, I'm going home first..."

"It's not too difficult. I thought you could get full marks for today's question. Do you have a cold? It feels like there's something wrong with you like this..."

Luo Qian's nagging voice came from behind, and Yuan Jia left the classroom without saying a word, like a deserter.

He was afraid of hearing others discussing the topic, afraid of his classmates coming over to ask him how he did in the exam just now, and even more afraid of seeing everyone laughing and chatting about how easy it was to take the exam...

Yuanjia didn't realize that exam syndrome had planted the seeds in his psychology...

Taking root, sprouting, swallowing up his self-confidence...
Chapter completed!
