It was okay for a day or two, but no one could stand it for a long time.
Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and came to me again. "We must make rules. We must go to bed at 10:30 every day. No one is allowed to study for one more minute!"
I looked at her with doubt and said, "I can do it, but I'm afraid you're cheating!"
"What!"
She said disdainfully, "I'm not that serious. If I were to defeat you, I would definitely do it fairly!"
I didn't follow through.
Although at 10:30 every day, we would send each other a message as soon as possible to tell each other that we would stop studying as agreed.
But I still secretly studied for half an hour more, or even read for half an hour more. I always believed that one more minute of effort would definitely be rewarded.
Once again the test finished.
Not surprisingly.
I got two more points than her!
She was very angry, and after school, she asked me to wait for her at the coffee shop outside the school.
As soon as she entered the coffee shop, she tore up the test paper in front of me, then threw the paper in my face, and asked me if I had secretly studied overtime!
