In the following week, Beijing No.1 Middle School's senior year department set aside two days to organize the first monthly exam of the school year.
During the morning self-study session on the next Monday, class representatives began to distribute the exam papers.
First, Xia Ye and Tang Tianjiao received their comprehensive science papers.
Tang Tianjiao scored 60, while Xia Ye got 87.
Then it was English.
Tang Tianjiao 51, Xia Ye 65.
Tang Tianjiao was becoming anxious, as she was already forty-one points behind her deskmate in just these two subjects.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to rank behind her deskmate, but the key point was that Xia Ye had just started school not long ago, and yet his scores were so much higher than hers. If his total score turned out to be higher than hers as well, how could she face being his "wife"?
The math papers were quickly handed out thereafter.
