In the examination room, the students were all engrossed in answering their papers. Only the slight breathing and the rustling sound of the pen tip sliding on the paper could be heard.
Fang Yan and a language teacher named Li Xiaohui were invigilating the second-year mathematics exam at the same time. Li Xiaohui walked around the examination room. Her small eyes behind the thick glasses were extremely sharp. She took in every student's every move. She was a very responsible invigilator. Fang Yan sat on the podium. His eyes were gentle and smiling as he glanced at the students' answers.
Most of the students were well-behaved. They were either thinking with their heads down or answering quickly on the draft paper. However, there were also some students who tried to take a shortcut and directly copied other people's learning results onto their own papers.
Fang Yan stared at a target. This was a little Fatso wearing rimless glasses. He looked simple and honest. The pen in his hand never stopped. However, from time to time, he would raise his head to look at Fang Yan or glance at Li Xiaohui's position. This had already exposed his absent-mindedness and guilty conscience.
"I'm telling you, don't have any illusions. Everyone has to rely on their own ability to take the exam. If I find anyone cheating … Hmph, the papers will be confiscated. All the results will be invalid. I'll even have to ask your parents to come. " Li Xiaohui had also discovered some of the potential 'enemies' in the classroom, so she threatened them sternly.
Most of the students lowered their heads to answer their papers. Some students, in order to prove their innocence, bravely raised their heads and smiled at Li Xiaohui. They looked for the students who might have cheated with her.
Fatso also raised his head and smiled. However, the smile on his face was a little unnatural. In the eyes of the adults, students at this age did not have mature acting skills.
Li Xiaohui walked past Fatso. At this moment, a ball of paper from the next table flew towards little Fatso.
This kid had an accomplice.
Li Xiaohui seemed to have grown glasses on the back of her head. She suddenly turned around and looked around.
Little Fatso's face was pale. He lowered his head and did not dare to breathe. Even though it was a cool and rainy day, his forehead was still dripping with sweat.
His unusual behavior immediately attracted Li Xiaohui's attention. She rushed in front of Little Fatso and pulled out his test paper. Her eyes were like radar as she scanned Little Fatso's desk.
He put away his draft paper, opened his pencil case, and even unscrewed the cylindrical pen he used to answer questions to see if there was anything hidden in it.
No evidence of cheating was found!
"Stand up," Li Xiaohui said in a low voice.
Fatso's legs were trembling as he stood up shakily.
"Tell me, where is the answer hidden?" Li Xiaohui glanced at Fatso's body and clothes and asked aloud.
"Teacher, there is no answer," Fatso said through gritted teeth.
"No? Not as scared as you? "Li Xiaohui sneered.
"Teacher, my body isn't good. I'm sick."
"Sick? I think it's a mental illness, right? "Li Xiaohui was very angry and dissatisfied with Fatso. However, she couldn't find evidence of Fatso's cheating, so she couldn't continue to harp on it. It would delay Fatso's exam time and affect the other students' exam state. "I'm telling you, Zhang Sanxin, I'm telling you, I'm watching you. If you dare to cheat, don't blame me for being rude to you. "
"Teacher, I won't." Fatso replied in a low voice.
"Sit down," Li Xiaohui said.
Fatso sat down and took the pen to write and draw on the draft paper. He looked like he was doing the math seriously.
Li Xiaohui stood next to Fatso and stared at him for a while. She really couldn't find anything suspicious, so she turned and left.
When Li Xiaohui left, Little Fatso breathed a long sigh of relief.
He glanced at the ground. There was a rolled up piece of waste paper. Because it was in the corner of the table, it was hard to see it.
He stretched out one of his feet and tried to pick up the small ball of paper with his other foot.
At this moment, a large hand reached over and nimbly picked up the ball of paper from the ground.
Fang Yan held the paper ball in his hand and looked at Little Fatso thoughtfully. He looked like he knew everything.
Little Fatso's pupils expanded, and his face turned purple. He was scared out of his wits.
The sweat on his forehead was even denser, and his expression was even more embarrassed.
He looked at Fang Yan with pleading eyes, like a pitiful puppy begging for a bone that could save its life.
Li Xiaohui saw Fang Yan's action and quickly walked over.
"What's the matter?" Li Xiaohui asked.
"It's nothing." Fang Yan said with a smile, "We have to remind the students to try their best to maintain the cleanliness of the examination room during the exam. Don't litter …"
As Fang Yan spoke, he flicked his finger gently, and the paper ball flew toward the wastepaper basket in the corner of the classroom.
"Mr. Fang …" Li Xiaohui shouted, but she was still a step too late. She said anxiously, "Mr. Fang, this may be the evidence of students cheating. How can you not open it and check it? "
After that, Li Xiaohui glared at Fang Yan fiercely and ran toward the wastepaper basket in the corner of the classroom.
She searched for a while, but she couldn't find the paper ball that Fang Yan had just flicked in.
There was a pile of charred paper ash on the surface of the wastepaper basket, which seemed to be the paper ball that Fang Yan had just thrown in.
But, how could it be charred?
Li Xiaohui couldn't get any evidence, so this matter could only be dropped.
Fang Yan looked at Fatso and said, "Do your best in the exam."
After that, he turned around and walked toward the podium again.
The bell rang. Under the urging of Fang Yan and Li Xiaohui, the students began to hand in their papers.
When Fatso handed in his paper, he glanced at Fang Yan and left without saying anything. Fang Yan saw that the back of his paper was a large blank.
Li Xiaohui saw that there was no communication between Fang Yan and Fatso, so she concentrated on sorting out the papers in her hands. She sealed them in a bag and marked them together.
After the math exam, this morning's work was temporarily over.
Fang Yan and Li Xiaohui sent the papers to the Academic Affairs Office together. They had a short meeting in the office to make a summary, and then everyone went home to eat.
When Fang Yan walked out of the tree-lined path, there was a voice behind him, "Mr. Fang …"
Fang Yan turned around and saw the cheating Fatso running toward him.
Fatso was panting. It seemed that he rarely participated in sports.
He stood in front of Fang Yan and said gratefully, "Mr. Fang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would be finished today … "
"Why?" Fang Yan asked sternly.
"…" Fatso and Zhang Sanxin looked at Fang Yan with a puzzled face. Why?
"Since you know the consequences are so serious, why did you choose this method of cheating?" Fang Yan asked aloud.
"My math scores are not good. This time the questions are so difficult …"
"Have you thought about it?" Fang Yan looked at Zhang Sanxin and asked, "If your paper ball fell into the hands of Teacher Li, what kind of consequences would you have to bear? If I had the same idea as Teacher Li … what kind of consequences would you have to bear? "
"So I'm really grateful to Mr. Fang. If it weren't for Mr. Fang, all my results would have been cancelled, and my parents would have been called over … "
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Zhang Sanxin, I helped you not to make you thank me. I helped you not to let you realize that the cost of making a mistake is not that high, but to have a fluke in the future … I always believe that everyone should bear the consequences of making a mistake. You obtained your results by cheating. Isn't this unfair to those students who really rely on their own efforts to get the results? "
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry …" Zhang Sanxin said with a ashamed expression.
"You can borrow money, but don't think you can borrow other people's knowledge. Knowledge is always in the hands of the real owner. Others can't borrow it or take it away … Even if you get it temporarily, it may be taken away at any time. You even have to pay a heavy price for it. " Fang Yan looked at Zhang Sanxin and said, "As a teacher, compared to your previous cheating behavior, I prefer the blank paper you handed in later … You may not have good results, but you proved that you are very honest. Honesty is also a very important advantage, even more important than getting good grades. "
Fang Yan patted Zhang Sanxin's shoulder and said, "Take care."
After that, Fang Yan turned and left.
Zhang Sanxin stood in the same place and looked at Fang Yan's departing figure. There was something in his eyes that he didn't have before.
"Mr. Fang, thank you." Zhang Sanxin murmured.
Enemies don't meet unless they meet.
When Fang Yan walked to the small door to enter the teachers' living area, he happened to meet Zhang Yu who was also preparing to go home.
"Fang Yan." Zhang Yu's voice seemed murderous.
"Hello, Miss Zhang. Teacher Zhang, are you preparing to return home for dinner? "Fang Yan asked with a chuckle.
"Fang Yan, you are shameless." Zhang Yu shouted angrily, "You didn't win and I didn't lose. Why do you have to read the apology letter to me in the classroom in front of the students? Why? "
Fang Yan thought about it and said, "I didn't say that I couldn't read it before the bet. You also know that my writing isn't good. I'm afraid that if I don't write well, I'll embarrass Teacher Zhang … A good horse needs a good saddle. Teacher Zhang is a great scholar of our Vermilion Bird Academy. Even if he were to apologize to someone, the letter of apology should be written with great literary talent. "
"How do you know that I will lose? Why isn't it you who will lose? "Zhang Yu was really angry. "Fang Yan, I tell you, you will lose. When the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you face. "
"Miss Zhang, you and I are both teachers. A teacher should act like a teacher … I believe that Miss Zhang will not do anything too excessive." Fang Yan said with a gentle smile.
