Gu Chengyu endured the musty smell of the blanket, forcing himself to sleep.
Opposite him, a candidate lit a candle and began writing the third question under the dim candlelight. The second question took too long; he decided to write more at night. Both questions only had a rough framework and needed further refinement.
He looked at the candidate opposite him; it was a young child, who was now lying on the wooden bed sleeping. He shook his head; such a young candidate writing strategies, hoping to stand out was difficult! No wonder that candidate was eating and sleeping as if planning to give up?
He glanced to the side, seeing everyone else fighting through the night by candlelight, withdrew his gaze, and moved the test paper and candle closer. Although there were lanterns above the test stall, the view was still a bit blurry.
Finally, Gu Chengyu counted sheep and drifted into a dream. He didn't know how long he slept until he was suddenly awakened by a shout next to him!
