I listened to my sister's words today.

I saw He Jun carefully move his test paper towards me, revealing a blank corner, and winked at me, indicating that I should copy it quickly.

I felt secretly delighted and quickly raised my head to take a sneak peek.

However, just as his eyes swept over the paper, they suddenly met the gaze of the old man on the podium.

"The two students at the back of the fourth row, what are you doing? Pay attention! Write your own papers and don't whisper to each other!" The old man's roar instantly broke the silence of the classroom, and everyone's eyes turned to our direction.

His face flushed crimson, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He Jun also looked embarrassed and quickly lowered his head to pretend to do the questions seriously.

The old man on the podium stared at us with his sharp eyes, as if he could see through us.

Sitting in her seat, Yun Yiruo listened boredly to the old man at the podium chattering away in English.

I felt like those voices were like a swarm of bees, buzzing around my ears, but not a single word entered my brain. Finally, the long dictation was over.

At this time, the team leader sitting in the first row stood up, left his seat, and began to collect the dictation papers from the students one by one.

Yun Yiru first glanced curiously at her deskmate's paper which was densely covered with English words, then looked down at her own paper. Apart from her own name written in a flamboyant style, it was empty.

When the team leader walked up to Yun Yiruo, he saw her almost blank dictation paper and was stunned for a moment. He asked in confusion, "Why is there only a name?" Yun Yiruo scratched her head embarrassedly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and secretly complained in her heart.

I sighed helplessly and thought: Alas, now I only remember the first few simple words in the English vocabulary list, and I have forgotten the rest.

So, she quickly said to the team leader, "Um...Team Leader, please put my paper as far down as possible, and don't put it first.

"The team leader frowned and said, "What's the use of this? The teacher will see it sooner or later. Why don't you take advantage of the time now to write a few more."

Hearing this, Yun Yiruo nodded as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Team Leader!"

Then, he quickly grabbed a pen, took out a piece of paper from his schoolbag, scribbled a few ambiguous words on it, and hurriedly handed it to the team leader.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair like a puddle of mud.

Although I didn't really care about it, no matter what, if I really handed in a blank paper, it would still seem like a blatant provocation and unscrupulous behavior in front of the teacher.

He Jun turned to look at Yun Yiruo, who was also slumped over the table beside him, and quickly reminded her, "Hurry up and write now, or you won't be able to hand it in tomorrow! Look at the people over there, they've already started writing."

Yun Yiruo looked up bewilderedly, frowned and said, "What are you writing again? The dictation is over, can't people take a break for a while?" His tone was full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

He Jun shook his head helplessly and explained, "It's not homework, it's punishment! We had dictation for 10 words today, and you only managed to write down three. So according to the rules, you have to copy every word in the English vocabulary list for Unit 70 times!"

Hearing this, Yun Yiruo's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Wait, what did you say? I have to copy each word in the English vocabulary list 70 times? This school just started and they're already playing tricks on me like this. They're treating me like an animal!"

He Jun sighed deeply and said comfortingly, "Oh, you're not bad.

Since you have at least written three words, you can write each word 10 times less.

Look at those people, their situations are similar to yours, they basically all submitted blank papers, and they had already started writing several days in advance."

When she heard this, Yun Yiruo felt like her head was about to explode, and her heart was instantly filled with anger and helplessness. She really couldn't understand why there were so many strange rules?

These regulations are simply making things difficult for people! "What if I don't write according to the requirements? Are they really going to persuade people to quit because of such a small thing?"

He Jun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Well... that's about it."

"Although I'm only a freshman in high school, based on my understanding of this school, the dropout rate is quite high."

"Generally speaking, if someone violates the rules set by the school or teachers, the parents will be called in for the first offense. If they violate the rules a second time, they will receive a formal warning. And if they violate the rules a third time, they will basically be expelled."

After hearing this, Yun Yiruo was so angry that she almost burst into a rage, saying indignantly, "What kind of rule is this? Doesn't the Education Bureau care about this? This doesn't conform to normal rules and regulations at all!"

Facing the emotional Yun Yiruo, He Jun seemed relatively calm. He simply smiled faintly and then explained calmly, "We are just ordinary students. As for whether the Education Bureau will intervene in this matter, that is their responsibility."

"Of course, if someone is willing to step forward and take the lead in challenging the school, we would definitely be happy to see that."

"But then again, no one wants to ruin their future academic career so easily, right? So most students, even if they're dissatisfied, choose to endure it silently."

Okay, okay, it seems that there is really no other choice, so I can only bite the bullet and start writing.

Fortunately, I was sitting in the last row. If I had been assigned to the front row to write these punishment documents, I would probably have been caught by the teacher before I even put pen to paper.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind. I wonder if the canteen in He Jun’s school sells those photocopied stickers?

If there is, that would be great. Thinking this in my heart, I couldn't help but mutter out loud: "Does the canteen at He Jun's school have photocopies?"

He Jun, who was standing nearby, was stunned when he heard this. Then, with a look of surprise and admiration on his face, he said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart! Before, the most we could do was use three pens at the same time to improve efficiency. Who would have thought there would be photocopies?"
