Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 513 - 388: Begone, Evil Spirits!

The professional exams were scheduled over two days, and before that, the elective courses had already been tested.

The final exam was the subject taught by Dick.

Unfortunately, Dick was also the invigilator. Xiao Meng tried her best to erase the impact this notoriously strict teacher had on her.

But as luck would have it... Dick seemed to be haunting her, always hovering around!

From time to time he would stand by her side, seemingly watching her answering the questions.

Su Xiaomeng thought to herself, this teacher must be desperate to make me quit, using this kind of tactic to put pressure on me?

No way!

Absolutely not let Dick succeed!

So Xiao Meng blocked out the adverse effects from external factors and answered the questions very seriously!

Time’s up, papers collected, collected mercilessly!

Xiao Meng sharply noticed the differences in certain details between domestic and foreign universities.

Back in A University, although the final exams were also strict, sometimes if a student made a little move, the teachers would turn a blind eye. But at Bath...

Everyone was just focused on answering; there wasn’t any extra movement!

Although this also relates to the quality of students, after all, those who were admitted into the Bath Modern Language College were definitely outstanding.

But Xiao Meng insisted that this was related to the piercing eyes of the invigilators!

After submitting her paper, Xiao Meng sighed...

The last five questions were really rushed, completely guessed. Xiao Meng only wanted to hurry home, burn some incense, and pray to the Bodhisattva.

Finishing the exam only represented the complete end of the previous semester, with a new term immediately starting.

The University of Bath is just this perverted, having three semesters, with each semester’s final exams scheduled just before the holidays start, right before the new semester begins!

What does that mean?

It means holidays are never for you to relax!

Xiao Meng had thoroughly experienced this.

Most of the students in the exam hall had left, and Xiao Meng packed her things, ready to go. At this time, a female classmate walked past her with a somewhat sarcastic tone,

"No matter how strict Dick is, if Eric wants to keep you, I’m afraid he can’t do anything to you, right?"

Apparently, this female classmate stubbornly believed that Su Xiaomeng and Eric had a thing going on.

Xiao Meng knew there were many who thought this way.

After all, she hadn’t made any deliberate clarification since the post that blew up before Christmas.

But she didn’t know this girl was the one who posted it.

Even more so, she didn’t know the post kept heating up due to this girl’s malicious instigation.

"I don’t need Eric to back me up. My performance was average. I don’t think I’ll be at the bottom."

Su Xiaomeng said flatly.

The girl snorted lightly,

"So confident again... Quite refreshing, remember how overconfident you were during the placement test at the beginning of the term?"

Su Xiaomeng paused for a moment, somewhat surprised at this girl.

Not surprised that she was mocking her, but...

"So you do pay quite a lot of attention to me!"

"..."

The girl’s face stiffened.

She did pay some attention to Su Xiaomeng deliberately, but to have Su Xiaomeng say it so directly made it sound like she was bored and had nothing better to do, and also made Su Xiaomeng seem like someone worth paying attention to.

This made the girl a little upset.

"Who’s paying attention to you? About your trivial matters, who’s not gossiping secretly? Tsk!"

"Hmm... But it’s been over three months... Are people still gossiping?"

Referring to the placement test incident, Xiao Meng thought for a moment and then said,

"Seems like I really am quite the topic of interest!"

"..."

The girl’s face stiffened again. The point wasn’t this at all!

As for what the point was, the girl got a little confused herself after Su Xiaomeng’s diversion!

Xiao Meng saw the girl’s slightly rigid expression and couldn’t help but say,

"Anyway, the grades will be out soon, and we’ll find out then."

"Yes! Of course, as a classmate, I really hope you can continue to stay at Bath."

"Okay."

Su Xiaomeng acknowledged, bid the girl goodbye, and left with her bag.

She had a woolen hat stuck on her head, gloves, and a scarf wrapped tightly around her.

Winter is always hard to endure, but this year Xiao Meng felt it passed quickly, and now it’s deep winter.

Deep winter won’t last long, and soon spring will arrive.

The girl’s words hardly had any impact on Su Xiaomeng. During her time at Bath, she had become familiar with both study and life.

She didn’t dare say she did very well in the finals, but at least her state was completely different from the placement test.

She believed her efforts during this period would pay off.

Meanwhile, there was still a boy left in the almost empty exam hall.

He was a boy who looked quite gentle, with an ordinary appearance wearing black-rimmed glasses, sitting at his seat, trembling...

His face was full of fear and panic.

Just now, Xiao Meng and that girl were talking right next to him, but both seemed not to notice him.

His last name was Shen, with a common English name, David.

Shen Dawei and Su Xiaomeng had interacted before, back when they participated in the second-round interview for the University of Bath at Beijing University, Shen Dawei had sat to Xiao Meng’s left and talked to her, speaking disdainfully of Qin Hui. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But after coming to Bath, Xiao Meng didn’t have much interaction with her classmates and had no impression of Shen Dawei.

A teacher poked his head in,

"Do any students need the classroom? If not, this classroom will be locked!"

Shen Dawei slowly released his clenched fists, still looking terrified and uneasy, and upon hearing the prompt, hurriedly grabbed his worn-out backpack and ran out of the classroom.

————

A weekend passed.

Deep winter remained.

Final grades were already available in students’ personal information accounts; they just needed to log in to check.

For most students, checking the grades was almost enough.

But for students in Class D, grades weren’t important, rankings were important; as long as they weren’t at the bottom, everything was negotiable!

Xiao Meng simply didn’t dare to click on that personal account!

Late at night, she pulled Yin Shixiu to her side, and the two sat at the computer in the study...

Xiao Meng swallowed hard and seriously asked,

"Do you think... there will be any red signals?"

Here, the red refers to red lanterns, meaning failing grades.

"Should I say there will be, or there won’t be?"

Yin Shixiu asked.

This question was really practical!

Xiao Meng was on edge, extremely nervous. If he said there would be red signals, it felt like she would lash out the next second!

If he said there wouldn’t be red signals, but there were, she would still lash out!

Su Xiaomeng turned back to glare at Yin Shixiu!

See, he hadn’t even spoken yet, and he was already being "glared" at!

"Forget it! I’ll take my chances!"

Xiao Meng took a deep breath, pressed her finger on the mouse, and immediately shouted,

"Evil spirits be gone!!"

"..."

"..."

The study room fell into an eerie silence.

Yin Shixiu raised an eyebrow, wordlessly watching someone shout "Evil spirits be gone" loudly but still afraid to face reality, covering her eyes.

Su Xiaomeng waited a long time, growing impatient, and couldn’t help but ask,

"Did you look or not! Is there a red signal?"

Yin Shixiu pulled her hand down, directing her to face the computer screen!

"Thump thump thump thump" the rapid heartbeat suddenly shifted - "Diu diu!"

Su Xiaomeng excitedly sang a segment of the Journey to the West theme song!

It wasn’t just that there were no red signals, all subjects well exceeded the warning line. Over half the subjects scored B’s, and the most surprising for Su Xiaomeng was she got two A’s!

Although the scores weren’t high, at least they were A’s!

One was from Cherry’s subject, and the other...

"Did I get it wrong! Dick gave me an A! I scored eighty-seven!"

Yin Shixiu seeing her so excited, truly felt he was getting old.

"Honey, did you see or not! It’s Dick! He gave me an A! Did he make a mistake?"

Xiao Meng still couldn’t believe it, though Yin Shixiu was about to say something, Xiao Meng hurriedly said,

"No, I know, I know! It seems I guessed all those last few questions right!"

"..."

Yin Shixiu looked at her like she was an idiot, watching someone going back and forth repeatedly checking her grades!
