The chirping of cicadas dragged the hot wind and rolled under the eaves of the teaching building all afternoon.
When the bell rang, everyone was stunned for a moment.
Then like a floodgate being lifted, the crowd came pouring out.
"What did you choose for the last question? C or D?"
"It must be C. I tested it twice."
"It's over, it's over, I wrote B!"
Two girls were huddled together, one was stamping her feet anxiously, and the other was already bending over with laughter: "You can repeat your studies, and I will come see you next year."
"Get out."
At the corner of the corridor, several boys were holding their shoulders, each with a louder voice.
"All night long, whoever runs away is the dog."
"I told my mother that I would stay at your house tonight, and she believed me."
"My dad said not to be polite to him after the exam, and all the money will be transferred to me."
Someone stuffed his admission ticket into his pocket, swung his coat over his shoulders, and raised the corners of his mouth so much that he couldn't hold it down. Some people walked out slowly with their pencil cases in hand, but their friends grabbed their arms and said, "Let's go, don't think about it, the exam is over."
"No, that's a big question I really..."
"Stop. From now on, I will deal with whoever asks the questions."
The speaker himself grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
When the laughter broke out, someone had already taken out his mobile phone: "Stop talking nonsense, let's see where to eat first. I have a favorite barbecue restaurant, two kilometers away from here..."
"Okay, okay, you navigate and I'll follow the car."
The iron fence at the school gate has long been pushed open, and the sun is streaming down the steps, falling on the faces that have not had time to hide their expressions.
