A whole bunch of Zhang Yuan's family got on the train, and over on Lin Xue's side, the exams had already begun.
For Lin Xue, exams were a walk in the park. As the top student in her grade, she couldn't have felt more at ease.
The level of education in this era was simply more basic than in later times. She handled it easily and happily, but that wasn't the case for everyone.
"Comrade Lin Xue, can we compare answers? The questions were so hard; I'm really anxious!" After the exam, while waiting for the teacher to announce the holiday so they could go home, a dejected Liang Mancang came back and said this to his seatmate Lin Xue.
"I can't remember my answers, so we can't compare! The exam's over, what's the point of comparing? Better to go home happy, young man!" Lin Xue waved him off.
She couldn't be bothered to compare answers, plus the little bit of unusualness about Liang Mancang made her want to avoid interacting with him more than necessary, to save herself some trouble.
