Having Dad around is really nice.
I replied, "I declined the arrangement from the homeroom teacher for me to participate in the Mathematics Competition."
My brother raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
I countered, "Why not refuse?"
"Such good opportunities usually go to Zhu Yufeng and Cheng Tong; when would it be my turn?"
"I just don't want to let them have their way."
My brother gave me a thumbs up, "Well done."
My sister-in-law expressed her concern, "But won't the cost of doing this be too high?"
My brother explained, "Not really; clearly winning against Zhu Yufeng in the last competition has already proven her strength."
"Even if she doesn't participate in the competition, her grades can still get her into a good high school."
My sister-in-law sighed in relief, "That's good then."
"We're clearly so smart; we can definitely get into top universities."
My brother laughed, "That's a must."
"Just look at whose brother you are."
My sister-in-law shot him a glance, "Come on, with your grades, you're not even close to Mingming."
My brother was hit where it hurt and fell silent.
I couldn't help but laugh.
The next day at school, the homeroom teacher didn't bother me.
It seems she has given up on me.
Cheng Tong and Zhu Yufeng also didn't come looking for trouble.
It seems they have resigned themselves to it.
I returned to my peaceful high school life.
However, I didn't expect that a storm was about to arrive.
After returning home for the weekend, my sister-in-law said to me, "The city is going to hold a Mathematics Competition."
Curiously, I asked, "Sister-in-law, how do you know?"
She smiled and replied, "I'm an Inspection Examiner, so of course I know."
I asked, "What does the Inspection Examiner do?"
My sister-in-law explained, "They check the examination room for any violations."
"Such as cheating, plagiarism, or taking exams for others," I added.
"If there are any violations, the Inspection Examiner will report them to the Superior Leader."
I nodded, "Oh, I see."
My sister-in-law asked me, "Do you want to go?"
My eyes lit up, "Can I go?"
She nodded, "Of course you can."
"This time the competition questions are quite difficult; you can give it a try."
"If you can solve the tough problems, you might even win a prize."
I jumped up excitedly, "That's great!"
Aside from painting, my biggest hobby is solving puzzles.
If I encounter a challenging problem that makes me think hard, I would be very happy.
My sister-in-law patted my head, "Let's go together tomorrow."
"Okay!"
Early the next morning, I left with my sister-in-law.
She asked me, "Did you have breakfast?"
I shook my head, "No."
She frowned, "Why didn't you eat?"
I stuck out my tongue, "I forgot."
She sighed, "You always forget to eat."
"Come on, let's go eat first."
"Okay!"
After we finished eating, we arrived at the examination room.
The examination was held at the City Education Bureau.
As soon as my sister-in-law and I arrived, we saw many candidates entering the examination room one after another.
My sister-in-law said to me, "You wait here for a moment, I'll go greet them."
I nodded, "Okay."
After she left, I curiously observed my surroundings.
The environment here was quite nice, spacious and bright.
Moreover, the security measures were very strict; every candidate had to go through a check before entering.
After about ten minutes, my sister-in-law returned.
She said to me, "Let's go to the second floor."
I asked curiously, "What are we going to do on the second floor?"
She replied, "I'll find you an office so you can focus on your exam."
I smiled, "You're so good to me."
My sister-in-law found an empty office for me to work in.
She told me, "You can do your exam here; no one will disturb you."
"I'll go do some inspections and come back to find you later."
I nodded, "Okay."
After she left, I took out the test paper and began to work diligently.
The questions were indeed very difficult, but I enjoyed them.
I don't know how long it had been when my sister-in-law suddenly pushed open the door.
She said angrily, "This is just too much!"
I looked up at her, "What happened?"
She replied, "There's a guy cheating!"
I was surprised, "Cheating? How did he cheat?"
She explained, "He wrote a cheat sheet on his leg, trying to avoid detection."
"Fortunately, I was sharp-eyed; otherwise, he would have gotten away with it."
