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...
When Lin Chaoxi was poked by Huajuan, she suddenly felt like an old hen protecting her cubs.
She just thought, what would happen if Pei Zhi was called up?
Is it because it is too arrogant to stand up and oppose the examination, or because it is unbelievable to finish three papers in ten minutes?
After much thought, the latter is most likely the case. Genius students shine wherever they go.
She didn't know how Pei Zhi would respond, but since the target was Pei Zhi, it should be okay...
Lin Chaoxi looked out the window and saw a large lake in the distance with large areas of aquatic plants and wild geese playing in the water. It should have been a wonderful time for them to have fun and watch, but their good mood was ruined by an exam.
From the moment they arrived at the building, all the tests seemed to be testing their psychological endurance.
The irrational examination process, the relentless review of the papers, and the first round of eliminations that were about to be announced all indicated that this summer camp wanted to select elite students and had its own set of standards.
The sound of students discussing answers in class became quieter and quieter, but the sound of Jie Ran flipping through the test papers on the podium became louder and louder.
The red pen crossed the test paper, making a light swishing sound.
After Xie Ran finished grading each paper, he passed it to the side.
The female teacher would check the answers and grades against the graded test papers, and they would also exchange a few words in a low voice.
Judging from the shape of his lips, it seems to be saying——
“Can I give you points for this?”
"Give it to me. Half of it."
They seemed casual, yet they made people increasingly uneasy, as if time was being stretched indefinitely.
It was as if Xie Ran had eyes on the back of his head. The moment the second hand of the clock passed the number 12, he immediately stopped writing.
All the children in the classroom were startled.
Xie Ran glanced at them and smiled: "Why are you so nervous?"
He said casually, and pounded all the test papers together, straightening them up. The bottom edge of the test papers hit the table, and the sound was very clear in the originally uneasy classroom.
Ding ding ding!
The sound made the children even more nervous.
On the podium, Xie Ran picked up an A4 paper list and said, "I'm starting to fill in the grades."
He also informed them.
Upon hearing this, the female teacher pressed the upper left corner of the test paper with one hand and began to turn the pages and count with the other hand.
Her voice was as small as a mosquito, but in the classroom that was as silent as an ice cellar, they could still hear some numbers clearly.
"No. 1, 78 points, No. 2, 3, 90 points..."
"41 points..."
When she read to number 41, the whole classroom was filled with long and regretful “eh…” sounds, which was quite dramatic.
"The last one, 65 points."
When she finished reading out the scores, footsteps were heard outside the classroom.
Those are two different sounds.
Adults' leather shoes stepped on the floor tiles, and young boys' sneakers stepped on the ground.
The two walked for a distance, one in front of the other. The young boy in sneakers entered the classroom from the back door and sat down next to them.
The tables and chairs creaked slightly.
Lin Chaoxi turned his head quietly.
Pei Zhi is back.
Huajuan: "Who came to see you?"
Pei Zhi: Vice President.
Hanamaki: "Damn, why did the vice-principal ask you to go?"
Pei Zhi: "Do the questions."
Huajuan: "Didn't you just finish the homework and now you want to do another one???"
Pei Zhi: "Yeah."
Hanamaki: "My question is, what did he ask you to do?"
Pei Zhi: “No.”
puff!
Lin Chaoxi laughed out loud in the front row. When she thought that Pei Zhi might have sat in front of the vice-president's questions for twenty minutes, she felt that the scene must be very beautiful.
——
The adult walking in front of Pei Zhi entered the classroom.
Xie Ran stepped aside, stepped onto the steps in front of the podium in his black leather shoes, stopped in front of the blackboard, turned around and faced them.
For the first thirty seconds, no one said anything.
A pair of sharp and cold eyes scanned them from front to back, from head to tail. Sometimes the gaze was looking at insignificant places, and sometimes it was very targeted.
His eyes paused on Zhang Liang and Pei Zhi's faces, and he also took the time to look at her before finally speaking.
"Hello, students. My name is Zhang Shuping. I am one of the persons in charge of the Jinbei Summer Camp training in Anning City, the vice principal, and one of your teachers."
Zhang Shuping is about forty years old, with bald hair and a little fat. He has a pair of black-framed reading glasses around his neck, but he doesn't wear them. After he started talking, the temperature in the whole classroom dropped again.
"Let me first announce everyone's test results."
Lin Chaoxi shuddered. Lu Zhihao didn't even dare to speak, his hands were clenched tightly, which was probably the action of most students in the class.
Xie Ran handed over the list and Vice President Zhang took it.
This process was very casual, but it was likely to affect the mathematics career of the five children. The lake breeze brought the fishy smell of water plants, and Lin Chaoxi felt a little cold.
The middle-aged man put on his reading glasses and started reporting his scores: "Ding Ding, 72 points, Wang Cheng, 77 points, Wang Ruolin, 60..."
There was finally some noise in the classroom. The children whose names were called either breathed a sigh of relief or whispered to their classmates.
"Wang Feng, 88."
When I read this, there was a small commotion over there at Zhang Liang's place.
Wang Feng should be Zhang Liang’s good friend. A group of people around him were quietly congratulating him.
At this time, the vice-president has already announced the next name: "Huajuan, 61."
When the little student Huajuan started to tremble, all the bones in his body were straightened in an instant.
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard in a corner of the classroom. Following the sound, the person who was laughing at Huajuan turned out to be Wang Feng.
Wang Feng smiled and turned his head to look at Huajuan, with his thumb down, secretly making a "weak chicken" gesture.
Little Huajuan slammed the table and gave him the middle finger.
"Okay, be quiet." The vice-principal looked up and said coldly.
Huajuan was startled, feeling aggrieved and worried. He immediately fell on the table, crying and drawing circles on the table with his fingers: "Damn it, I was actually looked down upon by Zhang Liang's followers. I'm done. I'm going to pack up and go home. My elder sister will beat me to death. She said she didn't want to see my face at home during the summer vacation."
There were people on Zhang Liang's side pointing and poking at Hua Juan, but Lin Chaoxi ignored them and quickly recalled that there were about 9 people ahead of Hua Juan, and only 1 had a lower score than him. According to a rough estimate based on the elimination percentage, Hua Juan was indeed in a bit of danger.
Lu Zhihao went back to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, the results are not all out yet."
"Old Lu, you have to avenge me." Huajuan sighed.
After saying this, the vice-president reported Lu Zhihao's score: "78."
Lu Zhihao first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he felt relieved. His score ranked 6th in the results just reported, and there were 14 people behind him, so he would definitely not be eliminated.
Lin Chaoxi patted his shoulder.
"Old Lu is really good!" Huajuan also shouted.
But before they could be happy for a while, Zhang Liang and his group started making trouble again.
Vice Principal Zhang read out: "Lu Ming, 80!"
Lu Ming was also one of Zhang Liang's followers. He turned around suddenly, made the "fat pig" shape with his mouth to Lu Zhihao, and sighed, as if he felt it was pitiful that Lu Zhihao was so happy with only 78 points.
Lu Zhihao's expression drooped again. Lin Zhaoxi pinched his face and turned him back: "Don't be unhappy. Why bother with them?"
"But he did better than me in the exam..."
"So what? I did better than him in the exam. Does that mean I can laugh at him?" Lin Chaoxi said righteously.
Hanamaki and Lu Zhihao both laughed out loud, and their mood improved temporarily.
Some are happy while others are sad. As Vice Principal Zhang reads out more and more grades, there are more gloomy corners in the classroom, as well as more show-off groups.
"Damn, it's so infuriating to see them being so arrogant." Huajuan shouted in a low voice.
Huajuan was right. Several students from the Experimental Primary School who were good friends with Zhang Liang scored 90 and 89 in a row. Not only were they proud of themselves, they also kept provoking them.
We just met and this is the time to start communicating and building relationships, but now we are forced to become competitors. It's really troublesome.
At this time, Lin Chaoxi finally heard her name.
"Lin Zhaoxi, 91 points."
After Vice Principal Zhang finished reading, the class was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter again.
"That means you got three fill-in-the-blank questions wrong, right?"
“She scored so high.”
"You did it on purpose."
The looks around were mixed, some were envious, some were suspicious, but because everyone was an opponent, the most common feeling was unwillingness to accept the result.
How did you get such a high score in the exam from Hongxing Primary School? That’s probably what I mean.
Beside her, Lu Zhihao pinched her arm and said, "Lin Zhaoxi, you are really too strong."
In the back seat behind her, Huajuan was clapping, raising her eyebrows at Zhang Liang and his gang, and giving Wang Feng a thumbs down, instantly forgetting the fact that she might be eliminated.
And Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi nodded to her with clear eyes.
Lin Chaoxi also nodded.
——
"Chen Chengcheng, 70."
"Zhao Xue, 76."
"Zhao Zai, 66."
…
Vice Principal Zhang was still reporting the results, but Lin Chaoxi didn't relax. As the number of strokes in the surnames increased, the number of names left on the list also decreased. She knew that it would soon be the turn of the two people with the most strokes in their surnames.
"Zhang Liang, 100 points." The middle-aged man on the podium read out, and for the first time he paused, looked at Zhang Liang straight in the eye, and said, "Very good, keep working hard next time."
The group of people around Zhang Liang quickly clapped their hands, and some turned to smile at her triumphantly, making the number 9 gesture.
It means 9 points more than you!
You guys should at least think about it, I will do twenty minutes less of the questions, Lin Chaoxi thought.
When Zhang Liang's perfect score came out, it was indeed impressive. The other children, led by those who were clapping, also subconsciously started clapping.
The classroom suddenly burst into applause. Zhang Liang stood up proudly. Before he stood up, he looked at her proudly, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Principal."
Huajuan rolled his eyes with a vivid expression. He was about to make a sarcastic remark when the principal put down the list.
Lin Chaoxi looked up at him. Zhang Liang was ranked 49th. There was still one person in the class whose results had not been reported. It was -
The middle-aged man opened his dry and thick lips and read out the last person's score: "Pei Zhi, 100 points."
The entire classroom and even the entire lakeside base seemed to be silent in an instant.
The wind blew across the lake, across the reeds, across the trees, across the entire classroom, and across everyone in the classroom.
The wild duck quacked a few times, and almost all the children started awake, but they still doubted their ears.
30 questions, 10 minutes to solve, full marks.
What a terrible crushing this is! Is this still a human being?
Of course not.
Not a human, not a human! The children shouted in their hearts. Besides, it was difficult for them to find the right words to describe Pei Zhi's ability.
After a short period of silence, the children began to whisper to each other:
"Who is he?"
"He's from your school. How come he's so awesome?"
“I’ve never heard of it before.”
The reversal came too quickly, Zhang Liang and his followers were stunned. Compared with Pei Zhi, Zhang Liang's performance was unremarkable. So everyone looked ugly, like eggplants hit by frost.
When Lin Chaoxi saw this scene, he almost wanted to recite the sentence "How can the light of a firefly compare to the bright moon..."
The other children around were no longer paying attention to Zhang Liang, they were busy talking to Pei Zhi.
One moment it's: "Classmate, you are awesome."
One moment it was: "Did the vice-principal tell you something when he called you over just now?"
Pei Zhi did not pretend to be indifferent, but responded calmly. It turned out that he treated everyone the same way.
Lu Zhihao turned around and took Pei Zhi's hand, and was almost ready to pay homage to the God of Study.
Lin Chaoxi could only look at Huajuan and smile: "Hey, how come you are so lucky? Didn't you say you made a fool of yourself on the last paper?"
She said this because Vice Principal Zhang had just reported the grades of all the students.
The five people with less than 60 points were eliminated directly. Huajuan was sixth from the bottom and could advance to the next round.
"I don't know, I just seem to be a little lucky!" Huajuan looked like he had escaped death, patting his chest and saying, "My mom said that it was because I almost didn't survive when I was born, so this is God's compensation for me."
Lucky Star really fits his character. Lin Chaoxi took the opportunity to ruffle his curly hair and said with a smile, "From now on, all the dry crispy noodles will be yours."
"no problem!"
On the podium, Vice President Zhang coughed heavily.
Lin Chaoxi immediately turned around and sat down, and the whole class fell silent again.
"All students know their grades now. Teacher Jie will hand out the test papers to everyone later. You can take a look and ask any questions you have, but please note that you only have five minutes," he said.
