The examinees sighed, looked at each other, and seeing that everyone had dark faces and furrowed brows, they knew the others hadn't done well either, which barely gave them some confidence.

Sun Linghui had a calm face but clenched the pen tightly in her hand, "I, I didn't finish writing..."
Zhao Yunxin looked at her sympathetically, "Although I didn't do well either, at least I finished writing."
A man nearby overheard their conversation and snorted coldly, raising his head arrogantly as he left, "What are women doing taking the exam for officials?"
