The top floor of the teaching building, the examination room for the junior high school group.

Pei Zhi walked into the examination room. The children who were concentrating on doing their homework raised their heads one after another. They first paid him a respectful look, and then, without knowing who took the lead, some people began to applaud.

Some children were laughing, some were knocking on their desks, and some were even whistling, as if they were welcoming some hero. But Pei Zhi didn't feel like he was the one being welcomed. He quietly entered the classroom and sat down in the corner.

From the moment Pei Shang went upstairs, Jie Ran had been following behind him and observing.

He observed Pei's steps as he went upstairs, his calm expression, and the movement of Pei picking up the pen without hesitation after flipping through the test paper.

After watching for a long time, Jie Ran began to realize that Pei Zhi seemed to live in his own world, or in other words, Pei Zhi's world was a self-contained system with strict rules and clear standards, which was very different from other children of his age.

The most important thing is that it may seem like nothing on the surface, but it is actually nothing, and this is the scariest thing.

——

The children's cheers were so loud that they attracted Vice Principal Zhang from the summer camp who was supervising the examination on the 7th floor.

A middle-aged man with a dark face and a little fat walked into the classroom. After coughing loudly, he scanned the whole room with a sharp gaze, and the children immediately fell silent.

Xie Ran quickly pretended to be serious and shouted, "The exam will end in 10 minutes," successfully restoring order in the examination room.

"What's going on?" Vice Principal Zhang called him out to ask.

He simply recounted what had happened, and the leader naturally looked a little embarrassed.

"Let me see the test paper."

Hearing this, Jie Ran went back into the classroom and took out Lin Chaoxi's paper.

Vice Principal Zhang put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, looked for a while, frowned and said, "It took less than half an hour?"

"yes."

Xie Ran took the leader to the corridor window. In the shade of the tree at the bottom of the building, the little girl was squatting on the ground, rummaging through her schoolbag.

“It’s really well done.”

Vice Principal Zhang's expression softened a bit, but when he saw the three blanks, he frowned again, "You don't want to carry your backpack and climb the stairs, but you still think of this trick. Your attitude towards study and exams is too casual!"

downstairs.

The little girl who was rummaging through her schoolbag suddenly shouted in surprise. She took something out of her schoolbag and held it up excitedly. The plastic bag was bright in the sunlight. It was a bag of Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles.

Vice Principal Zhang, who happened to see this scene, twitched his forehead, threw Lin Chaoxi's test paper back, walked into the examination room again, and came to Pei Zhi's desk.

Pei Zhi was doing his homework with his cap pulled down very low.

Xie Ran looked at it for a while and his face changed.

Pei Zhi had already turned to the second page of his test paper, and only three minutes had passed. He read the questions and filled in the answers at a steady pace, but there was no sign of any draft on either the draft paper or the test paper. If he hadn't known the answers in advance, Xie Ran would have even suspected that Pei Zhi was writing nonsense.

Yes, it is probably similar to the speed of looking at the questions once and then writing them down randomly, but the answers to each question are so accurate that it leaves you speechless.

Stable, still stable.

The steady angle of the head, the steady breath, the steady handwriting, everything was calm and even, as if the child was precisely assembled with numbers. Xie Ran even had this illusion.

Gradually, the smile on Vice Principal Zhang's face could no longer be concealed. When educators meet a true genius, they will undoubtedly be ecstatic.

He walked back and forth in front of Pei Zhi's desk for a few times, and then walked to Zhang Liang's desk to take a look. Finally, he walked out of the examination room, still muttering to himself: "They are all good seedlings. Is Pei Zhi one of them? Why haven't I heard of him before..."

Xie Ran wondered how I knew why you hadn't heard of it.

"Are you sure no one has revealed the answer to Pei Zhi?" Vice President Zhang suddenly turned around and asked.

"I am sure."

"This is really a good candidate who is not inferior to Zhang Liang..." He said, and suddenly stopped, and instructed, "If Pei Zhi finishes the test paper ahead of time, bring it to me first."

Jie Ran nodded.

But in the end, Vice President Zhang's words did not come true because Pei Zhi did not finish it in advance.

There wasn't much time left for the entire exam. When the bell rang, most of the children didn't get up to hand in their papers. The number of questions was too large, and many people were still writing furiously.

"Okay, hand in your papers. Time's up, babies!" Xie Ran said casually, subconsciously looking at Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi actually finished it a long time ago, but he didn't hand it in in advance, as if he wanted to wait for everyone to do it together and definitely not force himself to do it.

The female teacher came down and forcibly collected the papers. The students looked frustrated, and some even shouted, "I still have a paper to do," and then burst into tears.

Xie Ran felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the child crying with genuine regret, but this is an exam, and it is cruel every time.

It took them a long time to collect all the test papers. He asked the female teacher to take Pei Zhi's test paper to find Vice Principal Zhang, while he took the remaining papers and went downstairs with the children.

…

Under the teaching building, in the shade of the trees.

Lin Chaoxi had finished her homework too quickly before, and she felt nervous only after she went downstairs and was alone. To calm down, she started to eat some dry crispy noodles. When she was eating the second bag, there was finally movement in the stairwell.

She heard footsteps and voices behind her and stood up quickly.

A large number of students came down the stairs, first some people she didn't know, and then came Zhang Liang's group of students from Experimental Primary School. She looked around for a long time before she finally saw her friends.

Lu Zhihao walked down first, looking worried.

Then it was Huajuan and Jie Ran. They walked around the corner one by one and appeared at the stairs.

Finally, it was Pei Zhi...

Lin Chaoxi didn't think much about it and ran towards them with the dry crispy noodles.

"How did you do in the exam?" she asked nervously as she stood in front of them.

“There are so many questions that I don’t have enough time to finish them all,” said Lu Zhihao.

"Report, I guessed the answers to a lot of questions!" This is Huajuan.

Lin Zhaoxi looked at Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi stepped down the last step, stopped, and nodded at her.

There was wind blowing through the trees.

This probably means "no problem".

Lin Chaoxi smiled. She always felt that the midday sun was not so dazzling, but rather cool and refreshing.

The stone in her heart was put down. This seemed to be the first time she and Pei Zhi cooperated, and it seemed to be going pretty well.

She subconsciously picked up the Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles in her hand and handed it to Pei Zhi, but when she lifted the thing into the air, she saw Pei Zhi's clear eyes and suddenly felt embarrassed.

She had already opened the bag of snacks and eaten them. She wondered if a young master like Pei Zhi would have a mysophobia, but she had already taken them out, and it would be too embarrassing to take them back.

Just as she hesitated, Pei Zhi raised his hand.

White and slender fingers gripped the bag opening.

Lin Chaoxi subconsciously let go.

Pei Zhi opened the bag, poured out some dry crispy noodles into his palm, and passed it to Lu Zhihao beside him, very naturally, without any intention of rejecting it.

Her fingers were stained with the same cumin-flavored seasoning powder, and in her ears was the sound of Pei Zhi's breathing as he chewed the dry crispy noodles. She always felt that her heartbeat was a little faster, mainly because she was happy.

He is so polite and courteous to others. I don’t know how his family taught him to be like this. Lin Chaoxi felt a little emotional.

"What cards are in your bag?" Lu Zhihao came over and asked, remembering something.

Lin Zhaoxi was stunned for a moment, then answered, "It seems to be a time change?"

Little Huajuan took the bag, poured the rest into his mouth, and chewed it with a crunching sound. Hearing this, he shook his head violently, pointed at his face and then at himself, and made a humming sound as if he wanted to say something.

"You've eaten too much!" Lu Zhihao couldn't stand him.

Many students around were sharing snacks. As they ate, they seemed to relax from the heavy mood caused by the exam.

The happy children gathered around Jie Ran and asked, "Teacher, yes, yes, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's read the papers later." Xie Ran said naturally, turned around, pointed to the classroom on the left side of the staircase, and said, "Students, this classroom finally has the person he is waiting for. Let's go in together?"

——

Teaching building, classroom on the first floor.

They piled all their luggage at the door and walked into the new classroom like sheep being herded, feeling very confused.

"Please sit anywhere, students." Xie Ran said with a smile.

Lin Chaoxi found a corner near the door. Lu Zhihao sat next to her and Pei Zhi sat behind her. Huajuan was naturally Pei Zhi's deskmate.

The children were still fighting for seats.

Xie Ran put the test paper on the table and said, "I will write the answers on the blackboard. Everyone should check the answers by themselves first and prepare themselves mentally."

Lin Zhaoxi raised his head suddenly.

In this case, it was very abrupt when Huajuan finished eating the crispy noodles and came up to say "The transition is terrible, I'll make noodles next time".

Huajuan was also embarrassed. He rubbed his head and retreated to the back seat.

After a brief silence, the classroom exploded.

"Teacher, is the class about to start?"

"Will the results be available soon?"

"So those who are eliminated have to go home immediately?"

The process of the summer camp was too fast and cruel. Climbing stairs, taking exams, reading papers, and getting grades were one wave after another. Even before the opening ceremony, some of them wanted to leave. The students couldn't stand it.

Xie Ran smiled and said, "The results will be out very quickly. Please wait for 20 minutes."

“Too fast.”

“Why is it so scary?”

"I can't. I really need to go to the bathroom."

In this shocked atmosphere, the sound of footsteps running could be heard outside the classroom.

The female teacher who had been supervising their examination rushed in and whispered a few words into Jie Ran's ear.

The whole class was silent, looking at the two people on the podium.

Xie Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked towards them: "Student Pei Zhi, go out with Teacher Wang."

"Oh my god, it's him again."

“I didn’t realize that before.”

"What are you going to do?"

The students were whispering to each other, and Lin Chaoxi frowned, automatically filtering out the nonsense.

Pei Zhi stood up upon hearing this, he walked around Huajuan and went to the back door. Teacher Wang trotted over, said something to Pei Zhi, and then took him away.

It was not until Pei Zhi's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor that Lin Chaoxi and Huajuan withdrew their gazes. They looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Lin Zhaoxi felt as if he knew why Pei Zhi had always been so indifferent to others.

Jie Ran clapped his hands to call the students' attention back.

"I'll start writing the answers." He picked up the chalk and something like an answer sheet in his hand, and copied the answers on the blackboard.

There were 30 questions in total on the three test papers. Starting from the first question, the children instantly forgot the incident just now and their attention was completely attracted by the answer on the blackboard.

The solution is very bad. For multiple-choice questions, just write the answer - cabdca/adbcda/dab

"I don't remember what the topic was."

"For question 3, I remember the answer is 18, but b?"

"C, should I choose C?"

Lin Chaoxi simply checked the answers and put his hands on the table. Perhaps he was a little annoyed because he had nothing to do and had to wait.

Behind her, Hanamaki suddenly asked, "What is the multiple-choice question on the third paper?"

Lu Zhihao turned around and asked: "What are you asking?"

"All of them!"

"You don't remember anything?" Lu Zhihao was surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't have time to do it, so I just wrote it down randomly." Huajuan wailed, "What should I do? I might have to leave soon, and I can't bear to leave you!"

"You won't be that bad, have confidence in yourself!" Lu Zhihao encouraged him, "I didn't have time to finish several questions on the last paper. What about you, Lin Chaoxi?" Lu Zhihao asked.

Lin Zhaoxi was called out and answered honestly: "I... left three questions blank."

"You won't miss the three most difficult questions, will you?"

"yes."

"You are so smart!" Lu Zhihao sighed, "If I can't solve the problem, I don't know if I will pass it, so I just focus on one question." Lu Zhihao scratched his head and continued to worry, "Hey, I wonder how Pei Zhi is doing."

After hearing what he said, Lin Chaoxi began to worry inexplicably again, and the atmosphere was filled with anxiety.

Not long after, Teacher Wang, who had taken Pei Zhi away, came back, but Pei Zhi did not come back with him. Lin Chaoxi estimated the speed and it would take about the time to go up and down 7 floors.

Pei Zhi must have been taken by her to some teacher's office.

Thinking of this, Lin Chaoxi felt someone poking her back. She turned around and saw Huajuan's smiling face: "Don't worry, he must have been prepared for this situation. He is very strong."

In front of the podium, Xie Ran finished writing the answer and threw away the chalk.

Xie Ran: "Students, I will start marking the papers. Your teacher Wang has also returned. She will help me review the papers."

As he spoke, he picked up a red pen, spread out the test papers in front of everyone, and began to correct the test papers on the podium right in front of them.

The author has something to say: It’s Zhao Xi and Pei Zhi, the Pei Zhi with bacon and cheese.
