The next afternoon, Lin Chaoxi received a WeChat message from Lu Zhihao asking for dinner.

At that time, she was having unfriendly discussions with Lao Wang and A Guang about the preparations for the modeling competition.

She was really annoyed by the quarrel between the two people and couldn't help but take out her cell phone from her schoolbag to take a look.

Lu Zhihao - Are you free tonight? Shen Mei and I would like to treat you to a meal to thank you for saving my life.

Lin Chaoxi was silent for a moment.

Her first reaction was, I wonder if Pei Zhi will be there? But she soon realized that this was a dinner date between Lu Zhihao and Shen Mei and her, and it was impossible for Pei Zhi to be there.

After all, they are just new friends now.

She treated them to a barbecue yesterday, and Lu Zhihao felt very embarrassed, so he tried to return the favor.

This is how friends who don't know each other well get along.

Lin Chaoxi understood that Lu Zhihao didn't want to owe her anything, so she decided to let him invite her back.

She typed the next line.

Lin Chaoxi — It doesn’t have to be a good one, our school cafeteria will do, we can just meet and chat.

Lu Zhihao——The cafeteria seems to be too bad?

Lin Chaoxi - It’s okay, you can also let Shen Mei come to accompany me alone.

Lu Zhihao——qaq

Lin Zhaoxi——(〃'▽'〃)

Lu Zhihao——How about an appointment at 5:30 in the evening?

Lin Zhaoxi - Sure, I'll wait for you in front of the stone pot bibimbap in our school cafeteria.

Lu Zhihao——Okay.

Suddenly, many new message notifications popped up on her WeChat, all from the "Sanwei University Participating Group in the Modeling Competition."

She didn't know who dragged her into this WeChat group. Everyone was scrolling through the messages in an orderly manner. She took a look and happened to see a message from Pei Zhifa.

Pei Zhi - There will be a special lecture on the modeling competition at 14:00 tomorrow afternoon in Hall 1 of the University Town Lecture Hall. Students who are interested can attend.

When Pei Yizhi appeared, the group became even more lively.

One moment it’s “Hello, senior brother”, the next moment it’s “Worship the great god”.

Some people also asked serious questions.

“Can I ask who gave the lecture?”

“Do I need to register? How do I join?”

Pei Zhi——Theoretically, you just need to go.

He also posted a screenshot of the lecture introduction.

The speakers are a team that has won the committee's special prize of 10,000 yuan.

"Great, I'll join."

"I'm going too."

Two students answered first.

After reading it, Lin Zhaoxi also found it very meaningful.

Lin Chaoxi—Looks really awesome, oh my god.

"Then let's go together. Since it starts at 2pm, let's meet at the bus stop at 1:15pm and take the bus together?"

I don't know who posted this.

"Wow, are you going on a spring outing? And we want to go together?"

"Don't you think that our Sanwei University will look particularly impressive with a large group of people going together? We will completely crush Yongchuan University!"

“Seems to make sense?”

"It's so close, we can walk?"

"After all, it's only two bus stops away and the weather is still hot."

"Then let's meet at the bus stop at 1:15 and wait until 1:30, then we'll leave together?"

"OK."

"Can."

"OK."

Many people responded, and the atmosphere in the group seemed very good. Lin Chaoxi is now a senior, and he hasn't felt the class atmosphere for a long time, so he found it quite interesting.

At this time, Pei Zhi also replied.

Pei Zhi - Then I will also wait for you at the bus stop south of Sanwei University. Please inform each other and wait from 13:15 to around 13:30.

Now, the group was in an uproar, with more students responding.

“The spring outing was fun!”

"Pei Zhi is still the team leader!"

"Would you like to go barbecue together next time?"

"Camping is also possible?"

"You guys are thinking too far ahead!"

"I want to go out and play with Pei Zhi."

"Wait until the game is over!"

"Can we organize a dinner before the game?"

Everyone started discussing it heatedly again.

Pei Zhi——You decide, I can do whatever you want.

When Lin Chaoxi saw this, he felt that Pei Zhi was a very approachable person and a good comrade.

Ah Guang: "Why are you going? Do we have to go too?"

Lao Wang: "We don't want to go, especially with Pei Zhi leading the team."

Lin Chaoxi looked up, muted her phone, and put it in her schoolbag. A Guang and Lao Wang also started to browse their phones, so she said to them, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not, but I think it's still good to listen to other people's ideas."

"For something as trivial as a modeling competition, we can win the special prize just by participating casually!"

"Ten thousand dollars, perfect."

As mathematics experts, Wang Jiang and Guang Shen have a natural confidence in mathematics-related content.

Lin Zhaoxi felt helpless.

After returning home from the postgraduate entrance examination class yesterday, she carefully studied the content related to the modeling competition.

She read a lot of experience posts and the explanations of winners, and she found that being good at math is certainly an advantage in participating in competitions, but math is not everything.

Just like Pei Zhi said, a three-day and three-night competition requires more teamwork. It requires everyone to work together and integrate each other's strengths to ensure a better ranking.

If you want to win the special prize, that is, the organizing committee prize, your paper must be top-notch in every aspect, even including the layout and other details, which require a lot of attention.

She didn't say anything, but just took out a sheet from the stack of materials she had sorted out yesterday and placed it in front of Lao Wang and A Guang.

"This is a real question. Can you explain your thinking?"

Lao Wang and A Guang glanced at the question and said, "It's simple. Do you know the grey correlation analysis method?"

Lin Chaoxi took a pencil and circled a word in the question: "How do you translate this word into English?"

"Forehead!"

"etc"

"Don't bring up something that is not relevant!"

"You don't have to write an English paper for this competition."

"Although we don't need to, we still have to look up relevant literature. Do we not touch English literature at all?"

"You are responsible for the English part!"

"I, your disciple, trust you."

"I can collect relevant papers during the competition, so what will you do?" Lin Chaoxi first gave himself a task and then asked them.

"Take us to lie down!" Ah Guang collapsed, "I don't want to participate in this competition at all."

"Disciple, you are not a Muggle, you are an Auror!" Lao Wang said seriously.

Lin Chaoxi now finally understood why no one was willing to team up with these two people.

However, she was actually very confident in Lao Wang and A Guang's personal abilities. She actually thought about transforming the problem of predicting Lao Lin's car accident into a modeling problem and discussing it with them in order to find a better idea and solution.

But before that, she still needs to make these two gods take the competition seriously.

She directly pulled out two sheets of paper from the prepared materials and placed them in front of A Guang and Lao Wang respectively: "This is what you need to prepare respectively. I will check it next Monday."

"Ah! Why do I have to look at all the award-winning experiences I can find!" A Guang shouted.

"You are abusing your teacher!" Lao Wang also shouted.

Lin Chaoxi ignored them and said directly: "The competition will last for three days and three nights. We need to find a place to look up information and rest. So should we write the paper in the school library, find a hotel, or go to someone's home? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"My son, don't have any improper thoughts about your master, absolutely not in this hotel!" Lao Wang shouted.

"Will someone steal our research results in the library?"

Lin Zhaoxi rubbed his forehead, helpless: "Don't worry, it shouldn't happen."

——

Lao Wang and A Guang's thoughts diverged, and she spent the entire afternoon discussing the details of the competition with Lao Wang and A Guang.

In fact, as long as they are guided well, these two great masters are still very serious people.

But "OK" also means that they still have a lot of issues to discuss before dinner time.

Sanmi University, cafeteria.

Lu Zhihao, leaning on a crutch, walked into the cafeteria with Shen Mei, and Lin Chaoxi waved to them.

When Lao Wang saw Lu Zhihao, he said, "Old Lu, why are you lame?"

A Guang: "Because you have a girlfriend?"

When Lu Zhihao saw Lao Wang and A Guang, he showed a very disgusted expression: "Why are you here?"

"You're here, why can't we be here?"

Lin Chaoxi: "We are participating in the modeling competition together, and we still have some questions to discuss. Do you mind eating together?"

Lu Zhihao put away his crutches and sat down, directly treating Lao Wang and A Guang coldly.

He took out some money and gave it to Shen Mei: "Go and top up your account." Then he asked, "Lin Chaoxi, what do you want to eat? Do you want to go order with Shen Mei?"

Lin Chaoxi was afraid that she would leave, so Lao Wang, A Guang and Lao Lu started arguing, so she said, "I'm lazy, I just want to sit down and order food!"

"What do you want, senior sister?" Shen Mei asked seriously.

"I want a Korean boneless fried chicken, an iced Coke, seafood teppanyaki noodles, and winter melon and pork ribs soup."

"I want the barbecue rice on the second floor, with double servings of barbecue." Lao Wang raised his hand.

"I want a Super Big Mac with three layers of beef, pork and chicken!" Guang continued.

"Don't worry about them." Lu Zhihao said, "Just buy it for Lin Chaoxi. Just buy something for me."

Shen Mei was a little at a loss as she took the money. Lin Zhaoxi smiled and nodded at her, blinking: "Go quickly."

"What happened to you, Lao Lu?"

"Can I forget about my brothers just because I have a girlfriend?"

"When did we become brothers?" Lu Zhihao got angry.

"As long as you treat us to a meal, we can become brothers!"

Lin Chaoxi thought Wang Jiang and A Guang were going to say something like "You have always been brothers with Pei Zhihuajuan", but he didn't expect them to say such a thing. The train of thought of these two people is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

"Why didn't you want to be my brother when you put the caterpillar in my pencil case in junior high school?" Lu Zhihao shouted.

"Who knew you were the same as the little girl?" A Guang asked back.

"You guys are just going too far, or is it just the summer vacation of freshman year in high school..."

"What happened during the summer vacation of freshman year?"

Lin Chaoxi was afraid at first that they would start arguing, but after sitting beside them and listening for a while, she realized that although they were still bickering, the three boys were talking to each other, more like reminiscing about the past.

She leaned aside and watched them spit.

Some parts of their story were very familiar to her, but some were completely unfamiliar.

Although she couldn't interrupt now, she was actually very happy to hear it.

The setting sun shone through the high window onto them. They had grown so big without even realizing it.

Oh, that's great. Lin Chaoxi was a little emotional. She took her schoolbag from the seat next to her and remembered that she hadn't looked at her phone all afternoon.

She turned on the screen and found more than a dozen missed calls and unread text messages on her phone. WeChat was even more terrifying. In just a few hours, she received a lot of messages.

Whether it is a missed call, unread text message or WeChat message, they all come from one person.

Liu Zhiyuan——Do you know how long we have been waiting for you??? You are so irresponsible!
