Chapter 3179 Throw it away
The bright red score stung the boy's eyes again.

……

The boy rolled up the test paper.

Then he looked up at the gray-haired girl.

"……you do not know?"

How can it be?

The boy didn't believe it at all.

Who doesn’t know that this is a test paper?

His mood was clouded.

He thought the gray-haired girl was mocking him on purpose because she saw his test score...

……

The gray-haired girl noticed the change in the boy's mood.

It holds its chin with both hands.

I was thinking to myself that humans are indeed fickle and have changeable emotions.

He said confidently, "I don't know."

How could it know all the human stuff?

It was just a thin piece of paper. The gray-haired girl didn't understand why this human reacted so strongly?
After all, it has seen humans throw paper on the ground without caring more than once.

Although those papers are not as big as this one.

There is no paper with those words on it.

……

The boy wanted to be angry.

It's just that the other party's reply was too confident, as if he was stating a fact...

and……

He tilted his head back and looked carefully at the gray-haired girl's expression.

He opened his eyes wide and then narrowed them slightly.

The gray-haired girl's expression...did not contain a trace of teasing or mocking smile.

Expression is flat.

Like really... seriously wondering...

Because of the changes that happened during this period, the boy has become much more sensitive to other people's emotions and subtle changes in expressions.

Although it is incredible...

but……

The other party really seemed to not know...the test paper?
……

The boy still had some doubts in his heart.

The gray-haired girl looked to be about his age.

Of course you should go to school.

Since you are in school, how could you not recognize the test paper?

Didn't she take the exam?

……

"Why don't you answer me?"

The gray-haired girl demanded an answer.

It was as if she didn't notice or didn't care at all about the suspicion in the boy's eyes.

……

The boy's throat moved.

“…This is the test paper.”

There was something strange on the boy's face.

He never thought that one day, he would introduce... the test paper to his peers?
Is she...really not kidding him?

The boy always remained vigilant and suspicious.

……

"Exam paper?"

The gray-haired girl tilted her head.

The long gray hair flowed from the girl's shoulders like water.

The boy suddenly discovered that gray hair...is not actually that dull.

……

"Ah."

The boy nodded, "Test paper."

……

"What is the test paper?"

The gray-haired girl asked again.

This question stumped the boy a little.

What is the test paper?
"You don't know what a test paper is?"

The boy murmured unconsciously.

The expression on his face was somewhat indescribable.

……

"do not know."

The gray-haired girl answered simply.

……

boy:……

He realized that he had asked too many questions.

How could the gray-haired girl know what the test paper was if she didn’t even know what it was?
She really doesn’t know anything…

The boy pursed his lips.

"…A test paper is… a test paper with a lot of questions on it… only questions, no answers…"

“You need to fill in the answer…”

The boy introduced it haltingly.

It's something I'm very familiar with...

But when he was asked to introduce himself, he didn't know how to organize his words...

……

"Oh."

The gray-haired girl's answer, as if she understood, made the boy feel relieved.

But before he could finish his breath, he heard the gray-haired girl's next words. "I don't understand."

……

boy:……

"What don't you understand?"

He has made it so clear...

Besides, the gray-haired girl had just looked at the real thing over and over again.

It's all like this...

What else don’t you understand?
……

"I don't understand anything."

The gray-haired girl answered calmly.

The boy almost choked on his breath.

"Cough~cough~"

The boy choked himself.

Is it true that this person didn't do it on purpose?
The boy once again wondered if the gray-haired girl was pretending to be stupid?
……

"Forget it, it's not important."

The gray-haired girl simply gave up studying the test paper in depth.

It is not that curious about what the test paper is.

In fact, what it wants to know more is...

"You seemed to be in pain when looking at the test paper just now...why?"

……

The boy's coughing stopped immediately.

His mind went blank for a moment.

If the gray-haired girl hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have known there were people here.

When the boy thought about how his embarrassing appearance just now was seen by this strange gray-haired girl, his heart suddenly felt like it was burning on fire.

……

“You don’t like it.”

The gray-haired girl tapped her chin with her finger.

"If you don't like it, why don't you throw it away?"

Just like what it had seen the humans do before.

Isn't it okay as long as you throw it away?
……

Lose, throw away?
The boy was a little dumbfounded.

For a moment, the absurd feeling overwhelmed the embarrassment and anger in his heart.

"How could this be?"

He shook his head.

With a look of disbelief, "How could you throw away the test paper?!"

He had never thought of it that way.

Even though this test paper brought him a lot of pressure.

He also wanted to hide the paper.

And never thought of throwing it away.

As he just said...

How can you throw away the test paper?!
……

"Why not?"

The gray-haired girl didn't understand the boy's surprise.

"Why keep it if you don't like it?"

……

“Because it’s a test paper.”

the boy yelled.

He was furious at the gray-haired girl's question, which seemed to be a deliberate question.

If possible, he even wanted to tear up the test paper.

But it’s not possible.

"The teacher asked us to take the test papers home for our parents to sign."

"She'll have it checked tomorrow."

"If I lose it, what will I say to the teacher tomorrow?"

"I told her I lost the test paper?"

"Then the teacher will definitely invite the parents."

Then what was the point of him throwing away the test paper?

“The teacher would criticize me.”

“My mother would criticize me.”

Even though he was young, he vaguely knew that losing the test paper was a more serious problem than failing the test.

If something had not just happened at home and his mother was not emotionally unstable, he would not have been afraid to take the failed test paper home to have it signed.

He will promise his mother that he will definitely do well in the exam next time.

No.

If the incident at home hadn't happened before, which caused many changes around him that he didn't understand or like, he wouldn't have failed the exam this time.

……

"…Mom will be very angry."

the boy muttered.

"I don't want my mother to be angry."

He was…afraid that his mother would be angry.

What others had said to him many times because of the changes at home came to his mind.

……

"You have to be obedient."

"Don't cause trouble for your mother."

"Mom is working very hard."

"Don't make Mom angry."

……
