The preliminary round of the competition will be held in our school.

Arrive at 8am on Sunday.

The exam lasted three hours. Xiao Mingyang was always fast at answering questions, so he left the exam room in two hours.

There was no one else outside, so he went to the canteen to buy a bottle of Assam, then went to the basketball court to play basketball with other students who stayed on campus for a while. He returned to the teaching building when the time was almost up.

As soon as the bell rang, the examination room door opened and the candidates poured out. Xiao Mingyang accurately located Li Xiangze in the crowd, put on his hat, rushed over, slid in front of Li Xiangze, knelt on one knee, and instantly took out Assam.

The students next to him shouted.

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in front of him.

Xiao Mingyang took off his hat, looked up and smiled at him: "How about it, handsome or not?"

Xiao Mingyang's smile was as dazzling as ever, which made Li Xiangze a little dazed.

"Hmm?" Xiao Mingyang tilted his head.

"Handsome," Li Xiangze took Assam's drink and took a big sip, then pulled him up from the ground. "The exam is over."

"You must be hungry." Xiao Mingyang hugged him with a smile.

Li Xiangze looked at Xiao Mingyang, his Adam's apple sliding: "Yeah."

"Shall we go to the cafeteria first?"

"Go back to the dormitory."

Xiao Mingyang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and leaned close to his ear: "So urgent?"

Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck: "Are you coming back?"

"Go back!" Xiao Mingyang hooked his arm around Li Xiangze's neck, their eyes meeting. "Go back now."

＊

There are not many people returning to the dormitory at this time, and there is no one as anxious as they are.

The dorm manager peeked out of the duty room and asked, "Are you going back to the dorm now?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Mingyang was in a very good mood and gave the dormitory manager a bright smile. "I've been so tired preparing for the competition these days. I need to take a break."

"Yeah." Li Xiangze agreed.

The dormitory manager had a good impression of them and didn't think much of it: "Have a good rest."

The dormitory is very bright during the day.

The first thing Li Xiangze did when he came back was to draw the curtains, and the room instantly became darker.

Xiao Mingyang's original plan was to take a shower first, and then practice the secret techniques given by Xiao Dayang.

Li Xiangze didn't give him any chance at all.

He stood in front of the wardrobe, and before he could get his clothes into the bathroom, the other person had already pounced on him.

Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck and kissed him without any rules, but he couldn't help himself.

It was the first time that Li Xiangze pressed him against the wardrobe and kissed him so wantonly. His nerves were tense and he followed the other's rhythm, slowly getting into the mood.

Xiao Mingyang held the other person's face and became more and more excited.

Li Xiangze suddenly put his arms around his waist, turned around, and pounced, and the two of them fell onto the bed.

Xiao Mingyang looked at Li Xiangze.

His eyes were stained with lust and his face flushed.

So cool.

Xiao Mingyang couldn't help himself, and counterattacked and kissed her.

After the kiss, Xiao Mingyang looked directly into Li Xiangze's eyes and reached for the bedside table to get something: "Are you... sure?"

Li Xiangze looked at him for a long time and raised his eyebrows: "You want to be the top?"

Xiao Mingyang hugged him, rubbed his chest, raised his eyes and looked at him eagerly: "Is it not possible?"

Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck and said without hesitation: "As long as it's you, it's fine."

Xiao Mingyang held his face and kissed her fiercely: "Wife, you are so good..."

Li Xiangze stroked his eyebrows and raised an eyebrow: "Wife?"

Xiao Mingyang smiled and said, "Hubby...I'm starting!"

…

The two of them returned to class two minutes before the evening study session started.

There is no homework for the sports meet this week, and the atmosphere in the class is very lively.

The two returned to their seats.

Chen Qiu turned around and said, "Aren't you two staying at school? Why are you here so late?"

"I overslept." Xiao Mingyang made up an excuse, folded his coat and placed it on Li Xiangze's chair.

Li Xiangze smiled and put his clothes into his drawer: "It's okay."

But his expression changed the moment he sat down.

Chen Qiu looked at the two of them, his face full of questions. Just as he was about to greet Li Xiangze, his mouth was covered by Hu Tianyao.

"Old Yang is looking for you." Hu Tianyao said.

Chen Qiu: "Mmmmm! Mmmmm! (Hu Tianyao! What the hell are you doing!)"

＊

"Good performance!" Two test papers were placed on Old Yang's desk. "Xiao Mingyang has improved compared to last semester and took first place in this school competition. Li Xiangze also performed well and advanced."

Xiao Mingyang raised his head proudly: "That's all thanks to Lao Yang's guidance."

"You are the only one who can speak." said Lao Yang.

"It would be great if you could speak so well on the Chinese test paper!" the old man said sourly.

"I'll try my best." Xiao Mingyang chuckled.

"Oh, try your best," the old man asked Li Xiangze, "What do you think this 'try your best' means?"

Li Xiangze pursed his lips and suppressed a smile: "Teacher, please don't embarrass him."

Old Yang spat out a mouthful of tea.

Xiao Mingyang patted Lao Yang on the back: "Hey, don't be so excited. Aze is also telling the truth."

Old Yang was speechless and stuffed a few sets of test papers into them. "From now on, go to the lecture hall for evening self-study classes. Same as Sunday evening self-study classes. Get out of here."

"Okay!" Xiao Mingyang hugged Li Xiangze and walked out slowly.

"Aze." Xiao Mingyang took a few steps and stopped.

Li Xiangze turned around to look at him and raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"

Xiao Mingyang stuffed his test paper into his hand and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. You go to the lecture hall first."

Go to the toilet?

Li Xiangze nodded and walked slowly towards the classroom.

There weren't many students who advanced, but the classroom was still full.

As usual, Li Xiangze found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down.

Three minutes before the bell rang, a middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt, eye bags and square-framed glasses walked into the classroom.

The man, with a beer belly, glanced at the audience and frowned, "Aren't there 35 people? Where's the other one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mingyang stood at the door and shouted "report".

"6:30," the middle-aged man smiled. "You're quite good at keeping time."

"I just went to prepare." Xiao Mingyang showed his signature smile.

"I'm sorry, this is your first time taking my class and you don't know my rules, so I'll let you go for now," the middle-aged man said, leaning on the podium. "Go find a seat."

Xiao Mingyang quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher, for not killing me!"

Then he ran to the seat next to Li Xiangze and sat down.

Li Xiangze pushed a note to him.

-Where did you go?

Xiao Mingyang pointed at his backpack nervously, took out two boxes of takeout and stuffed them into the drawer, then took out two seat cushions, one for each person.

Seeing everyone gathered, the teacher on the stage began to introduce himself: "I am Zhang Fuguo, your physics competition teacher. My teaching requirements are very simple: arrive in the classroom five minutes before the start time, and I want to see everyone present when I enter." He glanced at the back row, "Secondly, no special treatment in my class. If you want special treatment, please show your ability. If you can't, please leave." After speaking, he paused, "The person in the back who was late just now and is still eating takeout, please stand up!"

Xiao Mingyang hadn't swallowed the fried rice in his mouth yet. He looked around, then looked at the teacher and pointed at himself hesitantly.

"Yes, it's you." Zhang Fuguo said in a serious tone.

Xiao Mingyang quickly swallowed the fried rice in his mouth, stood up and smiled to ease the embarrassment: "Sorry, teacher, I'm too hungry."

The teacher ignored him, lowered his head, pulled up a PPT page, and looked at him: "Come up, solve this problem, and I won't pursue it."

Xiao Mingyang only glanced at it and said, "This question is a variation of question 12 from the provincial competition two years ago. The steps are similar."

The teacher looked at him and changed the PPT.

"Wow," Xiao Mingyang's eyes lit up immediately, "A new question! The idea behind this question is very interesting."

"Come up and solve it." Zhang Fuguo tapped the blackboard.

Xiao Mingyang jumped onto the stage, picked up the chalk and wrote out a few characters in a very casual way that could be described as dog crawling.

Zhang Fuguo looked at it with a frown.

This question was indeed difficult. He spent 20 minutes and only solved half of it.

"Okay," Zhang Fuguo interrupted. "The idea is correct, but it's very time-consuming. This isn't the optimal solution."

Zhang Fuguo explained his own ideas and solved the problem completely in just 10 minutes. He also briefly explained Xiao Mingyang's ideas and compared the two.

"But overall, it's great that this student has some ideas," Zhang Fuguo looked at him with approval. "What's your name?"

"Xiao Mingyang." Xiao Mingyang smiled.

"You have talent. I look forward to seeing you in the national team." Zhang Fuguo patted him on the back and let him go back.

Zhang Fuguo’s lectures are very rhythmic and clear. If you are distracted for a moment, you will not be able to keep up.

Li Xiangze was nervous the whole time and had no time to eat takeout, let alone dare to eat it.

Xiao Mingyang listened with great interest and ate with great relish. From time to time he wanted to feed the other party, but was always rejected.

After two hours, Lao Yang walked into the classroom slowly. "Teacher Zhang's lecture was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"Yeah!" everyone answered.

Old Yang put his arm around Zhang Fuguo and introduced him, "This is our national-level physics competition trainer, who our school spent a huge amount of money to hire. He's also my senior."

All the students applauded.

Old Yang began to talk about his story with Zhang Fuguo. They must be good friends. Xiao Mingyang and Li Xiangze didn't listen carefully. They lowered their heads and ate seriously.

The training teachers are different every year. Last year's teacher was quite gentle and was said to be from the provincial team. However, he only made it to the provincial competition last year.

The break is over and the second half of training begins.

Zhang Fuguo obviously realized the level of the people present and raised the difficulty a bit. Xiao Mingyang was no longer absent-minded, and Li Xiangze was even more anxious listening to him.

Zhang Fuguo, however, looked very accomplished as he solved the problems one by one.

After the evening self-study class, they felt dizzy and exhausted from overexertion during the day. They forced themselves to listen to the daily English lesson before turning off their phones.

The next day during morning self-study, Lao Yang called them out.

"You should have experienced the pace of Lao Zhang's lectures. For the next few days, you'll all spend your evening self-study in the lecture hall. It's impossible to do your homework there," Lao Yang patted them on the shoulders. "I believe you can definitely finish all your homework before evening self-study."

Complete homework for six subjects before evening self-study.

Xiao Mingyang was worried for himself and replied pertinently: "Old Yang, you'd better not believe me."

"You are exempt from the physics homework." Old Yang was very generous.

Xiao Mingyang: "..."

Xiao Mingyang: "It seems like the most homework is physics?"

Lao Yang patted him on the head and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. Look at Li Xiangze, why doesn't he complain so much?"

Li Xiangze cleared his throat: "There's a lot of math homework."

Old Yang: “…”

Old Yang: "I suddenly feel that the director of the Moral Education Department is right."
