HSK Intermediate - Fill-in-the-Blanks Exercise #29

It had taken two hours of gruelling hand-to-hand combat, but Jeremy had finally won the competition. As he tossed his controller down on the bedsheet and lay back with satisfaction though, he caught sight of his girlfriend looking at him aghast. Lauren was taking the HSK with him tomorrow morning, and had been sitting at her desk cramming for almost as long as he'd been online. "Aren't you the least bit concerned about taking the HSK tomorrow?"

Truth be told, Jeremy wasn't the least concerned by the prospect of taking the mandarin proficiency test. As he lay there basking in the glory of his victory, he was more preoccupied with whether there was time for a rematch before calling it a night.
