Everyone believes Lin Zhao Xi’s a genius.
Only she knows she’s looking back on years of experience in math competitions as a basis to “cheat”.
Until one day, her idol quietly looks at h...
June 15th.
After finishing the high school entrance exam, students started their summer vacation, and college students started preparing for their final exams. The provincial training team also gathered again, and the students who were going to participate in the training gathered again at Sanwei University.
For Lin Chaoxi, she really needed this almost three-month long period of time that would allow her to stay at Sanwei University.
Because there are not only new computers here, but also a large library of books and free literature for her to read.
Lin Chaoxi dragged his luggage into the Sanwei University dormitory and found that the three girls in the same dormitory had already arrived.
Now the new campus has not been built yet, they are still studying in the old campus of Sanwei University. The school has a history of one hundred years and the dormitories are even more dilapidated.
There were two bunk beds on the left and right sides of the space of less than 15 square meters, and four desks in a row in the middle. When the luggage of four girls were put in, sometimes they couldn't even move their legs.
However, she has lived in this dormitory twice, during the winter vacation and the Qingming Festival. Now it is her third time and she is used to it.
She walked to the iron bed by the window with familiarity. She first opened her cabinet door, took out the cotton mattress and put it on the windowsill to dry.
Then she found a rag, climbed onto the iron bed and prepared to wipe off the dust and then put up the mosquito net.
The bed had been dusty for a while since it had been occupied. She climbed up and down and wiped it twice before it was clean. But when she was holding the mosquito net and was about to go up to tie the straps, she was suddenly stopped by someone.
"This classmate, this is my bed."
Lin Chaoxi was squatting on the upper bunk at the time. He looked down with difficulty and found a girl with long hair standing in front of the bed.
The girl is very thin, with sunken eye sockets and skin that is so white that it is transparent, a very delicate type.
Lin Chaoxi remembered that the other person was a senior from the high school department named Yin Xiaolin, but she didn't know anything else.
"But I slept here before." Lin Chaoxi said.
"I just came in to choose. You can sleep over there." Yin Xiaolin pointed to the bunk bed by the door and said
Lin Chaoxi was a little strange. The upper bunk was close to the ceiling, which was very depressing, and he had to climb up and down all the time. The lower bunk was generally more convenient, so everyone liked it, except for girls with a cleanliness fetish.
and……
"Someone is sleeping in that shop." She said so, and the person she said was a senior from high school.
Yin Xiaolin frowned: "She's not coming."
"Ah?" Lin Chaoxi turned his head and quietly looked at the other girl in the same dormitory. She nodded, as if she was also a little afraid of Yin Xiaolin.
"Zhang Ming is not coming. He said he has to prepare for the college entrance examination."
"Oh!" Lin Chaoxi didn't care about the matter of going up and down the bed. At most, he just wiped the bed again.
"I can't sleep because of the sound of someone walking near the door." Yin Xiaolin seemed to be suppressing something and said gloomily.
When Lin Chaoxi heard this question, she felt very embarrassed. She quickly climbed down from the top and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

Sanwei University Library, Room 301.
After spending some time wiping the bed and tidying up things, Lin Chaoxi arrived a little late.
She looked around the classroom, counted the number of people, and found that even though it was time to assemble, there were still fewer people in the high school department.
However, it is the final exam period for all schools now, so it is normal for some people not to come.
"We got off the bus together. Why are you so late?"
Comrade Lao Lu asked.
"We've moved our dorm a bit. The senior from before isn't coming anymore, so we took the time to tidy up the dorm." Lin Zhaoxi said this, then looked at Pei Zhi and Lu Zhihao and asked, "Didn't you guys move?"
"I don't know. Anyway, we haven't changed. We have always been four junior high school students together." Lu Zhihao said.
"Oh, that's good. I don't have to share a dormitory with high school students." Lin Chaoxi said.
——
Because of the college entrance examination, many high school students chose to give up this training, but Liu Zhiyuan was an exception.
As one of the people who was transferred to the new dormitory, he arrived at the classroom even later and happened to run into Jieran.
"Student Liu." Xie Ran greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Teacher Xie," Liu Zhiyuan said. He actually didn't like this teacher who was always smiling. Maybe it was because she was only a few years older than him, but he still called her teacher.
"Student Liu, I'm very happy that you can come to the training camp." Xie Ran said in a half-drawn tone.
Liu Zhiyuan frowned.
Xie Ran: "Your parents called us earlier and told us that you were going to study abroad and had to study for the TOEFL during the summer vacation, so they didn't have time to come."
When Xie Ran said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the short-haired girl sitting by the classroom window.
The girl was talking to the people around her with a smile on her face at first, but she twirled the pen in her hand and realized they were looking at her. She turned around and smiled at them, revealing a dimple on one side, looking very fresh and cheerful, like the sunshine on the beach.
"I will use my spare time to prepare for the TOEFL." Liu Zhiyuan quickly retracted his gaze and said this.
"oh."
Xie Ran spoke in a long tone, and the sense of joking in his voice was very obvious. But suddenly, he changed the subject and said earnestly: "Actually, studying abroad is also good. The intensive training this summer will be more difficult."
——
Before the training content was officially announced, Liu Zhiyuan had no idea what was so hard about it.
As the day progressed, the classroom gradually became fully staffed.
Xie Ran was joking with them at first, asking everyone how they did on the exam.
However, when the bell rang, he put away his smile and suddenly became very serious.
In the classroom, the laughter and joy slowly died down, and steady footsteps were heard in the corridor.
Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open, and a bulky but extremely dignified middle-aged man appeared there.
He walked slowly up to the podium and pushed up his glasses. He had an aloof and inviolable aura, the kind of aura that only a particularly fierce teacher would have.
Liu Zhiyuan knew that the teacher's surname was Zhang.
"Hello, students. I am Chang Shuping, and I will be the chief instructor for your summer math training. I am a relatively strict person. Some of you are old friends of mine, so you should be very clear about this."
Sitting in their seats, even those students from Yongchuan High School who always liked to interrupt did not dare to speak. Liu Zhiyuan knew that what Chang Shuping said was true.
"You guys were here during the winter break, and you had a pretty good time during that training session. But believe me, with me here, your summer break won't be the same as your winter break."
"The goal of our provincial training team is very clear and utilitarian. We hope that some of you can go to Yongchuan University next door to participate in the real National Olympic Mathematics Winter Camp next year."
"If our province fails to harvest any crops again like this year, I will resign. But I still have to support my family, so I will train you hard for my job."
"I won't say much else. Let me briefly introduce that this training session will be a competition between junior high school students and high school students. Your average scores will be calculated for comparison in each test. I hope that the high school students here will not be outdone by the kids younger than you. As for the other prospective high school students, try to use your intelligence to defeat those high-ranking seniors."
Lin Chaoxi was shocked when he heard this.
This kind of competition model between junior and senior high schools was originally just an unspoken rule, and everyone competed privately tacitly, but Lao Zhang spoke it out openly.
Lao Zhang is still Lao Zhang, as ruthless as ever.
"I know that many of you, especially the senior high school students, are wavering. On one hand, there is the college entrance examination, and on the other hand, there is the math training. You don't know how to choose. What I want to say is that if you are not attentive to this training and don't have the energy to give it your all, you should withdraw as soon as possible."
"I emphasize again that this training session will be very, very hard!"
William Chang spoke calmly, but the strong sense of aggression and pressure was still very obvious.
Absent-minded...withdraw on your own...
Lin Chaoxi couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard this. When Zhang Shuping said it was hard, it was definitely hard work, and he was definitely not joking.
But if that's the case, how can she find time to do her own things during the heavy training?
He was distracted for just a moment when Lin Chaoxi was called out again.
"Class monitor, come up and get the class schedule?"
William Chang suddenly said.
Among the high school students, Liu Zhiyuan also stood up, Lin Chaoxi also trotted onto the stage, and Chang Shuping handed over a stack of copy paper.
She looked down and saw that the schedule was not only filled with classes, but also had discussion and exercise times, and even the exam times were clearly marked, which was Chang Shuping's consistent style.
Not only that, after handing out the course schedule, William Chang directly handed out the test paper for the first test.
I made one thing very clear to them - the head coach is me, William Chang.
After taking the test paper, Lin Chaoxi found his pencil case and spread out the test paper.
The entire test paper was filled with the math Olympiad questions she was most familiar with, including mean inequalities, combinatorial identities, mapping counting…
I don’t know why, but just by looking at the densely packed test paper, Lin Chaoxi felt that William Chang was really going to have a test war with them this summer.
I don’t know if it’s because the sunlight outside the window is too glaring, but Lin Chaoxi feels a little dizzy.
