CHAPTER XXXIII

When Gu Yuan and the five of them were talking and laughing, the teacher who was in charge of organizing this volunteer service activity came over with a smile, as if he was also holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand that was the same as Gu Yuan's hand.

"Okay, let's stop for a moment and listen to me say two words, the first is that you will follow me to pick up the volunteers' clothes for a while, the second is that I hope you will take this volunteer activity seriously, and the other is to feel the atmosphere of the college entrance examination in advance," the teacher said with a smile.

Everyone followed the teacher to get the volunteers' clothes and put them on, and then they started their own volunteer activities.

It didn't take long for Gu Yuan to see a large number of teachers with invigilator certificates walking into Renhe Middle School, and then the senior high school students in the school also began to move, under the leadership of the teachers of this school, some students went to the examination room located in other places, and there were also candidates from other schools who arrived in Renhe one after another, and most of the students were quietly doing the final review.

In fact, Gu Yuan and others are not very busy in their volunteer activities, they only provide help when they need help, and they stand in place when they are fine.

At half past eight in the morning, half an hour before the start of the exam, candidates began to enter the examination room one after another, first in front of the examination room for identity verification and personal inspection, in order to prevent substitute exams and cheating.

At about 8:50, a cordon was set up around the examination room, and basically all candidates entered the examination room, but there were also some students who had problems, either forgetting to bring their ID cards or admission tickets, or their clothes and shoes did not meet the requirements, but fortunately, the problems were finally solved.

At nine o'clock, the bell rang for the exam, and the first exam of the 2016 college entrance examination officially kicked off.

Outside the cordon in the examination room, because the candidates had all entered the examination room, Gu Yuan and the others had nothing to do, so they gathered together and chatted.

"You say that on such an important day as the college entrance examination, there are still people who lose everything, it's really outrageous, it's simply irresponsible for your own life!" I couldn't stand it anymore, Li Haotian was the first to complain, because he had just witnessed the traffic police on duty send a student who forgot to bring his ID card into the examination room at the last moment.

"The world is so big! It's been a long time, you'll meet anyone," Gu Yuan smiled.

"Looking at those who were crying because they forgot to bring the admission ticket, I felt a little sympathetic and a little angry, why did I go earlier, isn't this just a chain at a critical moment!" Huang Tingting also said indignantly.

"The students who forgot to bring their documents are absolutely not rigorous in their usual studies and lives, and I am in suspense for this college entrance examination," even Su Xiaoqing couldn't help but speak, and Chi Yu just nodded to himself and didn't express any opinions.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while! You can't stand for 150 minutes on such a hot day! Li Haotian wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"Yes, I can't stand all the time, it's better to go to the tea shop and drink some herbal tea or something, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to suffer from heat stroke in a while," Huang Tingting echoed.

"I think you two want to drink milk tea!" Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Li Haotian and Huang Tingting glanced at each other, smiled, and everything was silent.

Then everyone went to the milk tea shop at the gate of the school where they often go, Li Haotian and Huang Tingting both ordered a super large cup of iced milk tea, Gu Yuan ordered a cup of ice lemonade, Su Xiaoqing and Gu Yuan also ordered a cup of lemonade, Chi Yu ordered a cup of fruit tea at room temperature, and everyone was chatting as they wanted while slowly drinking drinks in the store.

Before I knew it, the sun moved from the east to the middle of the sky, and then the bell rang for the end of the exam.

"I'll go! Does time pass so fast? It's already half past eleven, how do I feel like I'm not too old for a while? Looking down at his watch, Li Haotian said in surprise.

"The first battle is over, let's go, while they haven't walked out of the examination room yet, we should go back to stick to our posts," Gu Yuan got up and left, Chi Yu and Su Xiaoqing immediately followed, and Li Haotian and Huang Tingting fell behind.

The first student who walked out of the examination room was surrounded by reporters, Gu Yuan and others also smiled helplessly, most of the students who came out of the examination room had smiles on their faces, it is estimated that the language played well, and few people came out with a sad face, after all, the language is not very difficult.

By the end of the volunteer activities in the morning, it was almost a point, and all the volunteers were arranged to eat in the school cafeteria, and at this time, all the college entrance examination students in Renhe had finished eating.

After the meal, the leading teacher arranged an idle classroom for Gu Yuan and the volunteers to take a lunch break.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the candidates of the school began to move, because the math test in the afternoon was started at three o'clock, and the volunteers also began to act, the weather in the afternoon was unusually hot, although standing in the shade, Gu Yuan and others were still sweating profusely.

The volunteer activities in the afternoon are much easier than in the morning, and basically the candidates at the Renhe test center are almost familiar with the environment of Renhe, but the volunteers still have to stick to their posts.

At around 2:40, the candidates began to enter the examination room one after another, and Li Haotian came to Gu Yuan's side and chatted.

"Brother Yuan, do you think there will be late candidates in the afternoon?" Li Haotian asked with a smile.

"Does that need to be said? Definitely! There is nothing strange in this world, someone forgot to bring the admission ticket in the morning, and there will definitely be one in the afternoon," Huang Tingting said without waiting for Gu Yuan to speak.

"Do you think anyone has ever slept with them?" Li Haotian asked suddenly, everyone turned their heads to look at him, and Li Haotian had to touch his head in embarrassment.

"Math in the afternoon was a tough battle! Let's hope they can all play beyond the norm! Gu Yuan looked at the candidates who entered the examination room and said slowly.

"It may be a bad fight for others, but it shouldn't be a bad fight for you! It's easy," Su Xiaoqing answered with a smile.

"You're thinking too highly of me, aren't you?" Gu Yuan smiled.

"But so far I haven't seen you fall below 150 points in math!" Su Xiaoqing continued.

"That's right! Brother Yuan, you are too modest! You say yes, right? Chi Yu," Li Haotian continued.

"Well, Gu Yuan is very good at math," Chi Yu said with a nod.

"Although the performance is okay now, who knows what will happen in the future?" Gu Yuan smiled again.

Volunteers are free to spend their time in the exam room, but they need to return to their posts before the end of the exam.

"Where are you going? You can't stay here in the sun, can you? It's hot and boring," Li Haotian was the first to speak.

"Why don't you go to the bookstore?" Chi Yu suggested.

"Yay! You can blow the air conditioner and read novels, killing two birds with one stone! Huang Tingting said.

"Great idea! I'm for it! Li Haotian continued.

After taking off their volunteer clothes and finding a place to put them, they walked towards a bookstore outside the campus, and when they passed the outside of the campus, they were handed several bottles of water by enthusiastic volunteers from the outside of the school.

In the bookstore, Li Haotian and Huang Tingting sat in the novel area, looking at the novel with relish, Gu Yuan was wandering around alone, looking left and right, Chi Yu was looking at a foreign masterpiece intently, Gu Yuan just glanced at it, and found that it was the English version, and couldn't help but give Chi Yu a thumbs up in his heart, Su Xiaoqing was relatively monotonous, not letting go of the slightest learning opportunity, and browsing the exercises alone in the exercise area.

Time passed bit by bit, and at 4:40 in the afternoon, Gu Yuan and the others returned to school from the bookstore, because the math test ended at 5 o'clock.

On the way, Li Haotian and Huang Tingting walked in the front, talking and laughing about the plot of the novel just now, Su Xiaoqing was a little behind them, still thinking about a question they saw in the bookstore just now, Gu Yuan and Chi Yu naturally fell behind.

"I see that the book you just read is in English, what are you reading?" Gu Yuan still didn't hold back and said the question in his heart.

"Gone with the Wind, a novel by writer Margaret Mitchell, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Literature," Chi Yu explains with a smile.

"Awesome!" Although Gu Yuan didn't know how influential this Pulitzer Prize for Literature was, he still praised it.

"If you have time, you can also watch it, Gone with the Wind is a good work," Chi Yu said.

"I'm not as good as you, but I can't read the English version, I can only look at the translated version," Gu Yuan said with a smile.

Back on campus, Gu Yuan and others put on volunteer clothes and continued to stick to their posts.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the radio at the end of the exam sounded, and after the invigilators finished counting the test papers, the candidates walked out of the examination room one after another.

Sure enough, as Gu Yuan expected, mathematics did bring a certain blow to the candidates, most of the candidates didn't look very happy, and even some girls with relatively low tolerance couldn't help crying as soon as they walked out of the examination room, and the psychological pressure was too great.

In the evening, after eating in the school cafeteria, everyone went back to their respective homes, and tomorrow we had to go to school early to volunteer, so I thought about going home and going to bed early.

Gu Yuan and Chi Yu did not take the bus back, but chose to walk home, on the way Chi Yu told Gu Yuan the content of "Gone with the Wind", Gu Yuan listened to Chi Yu tell the storyline, even more serious than listening to the lecture in class.

Back at home, Gu Yuan simply took a hot shower, swiped his mobile phone for a while and went to bed, while Chi Yu finished washing, first wrote today's record in his notebook, then studied for a while, and finally went to sleep.

The next morning, everyone met early at school, each holding their own breakfast in their hands, chatting while eating.

"I read on the Internet that this year's math is difficult! Have you seen it? Li Haotian said vaguely.

"No," the other four said in unison.

"Hey! Although we are not taking the college entrance examination, we still have to pay attention to it! I see that there are a lot of people who cried after the math test yesterday, and I guess they don't want to take today's exam after the math test," Li Haotian continued.

"I hope we won't have such difficult questions in the 2018 college entrance examination, I don't want to walk out of the exam room crying," Huang said.

Except for Li Haotian who prayed with Huang Tingting, the other three were crying and laughing.

At about 8:40 a.m., candidates began to check in and enter the examination room in an orderly manner, and the comprehensive examination of arts and sciences officially began at 9 o'clock.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the last English test of the college entrance examination started, five o'clock, with the bell of the end of the exam, the 2016 college entrance examination officially ended successfully, most of the candidates who rushed out of the examination room were full of smiles, from this moment, their three years of high school life was really over.
