Taking the opportunity, Xie Yitao grabbed his notebook of wrong answers and said, "Speaking of which, can you explain this question to me? I've been studying this physics test for two days now."

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the questions, took his book, and flipped to page 45. "This question is a variation of these two example questions. Understand these two questions first, and then I'll explain the next one to you."

Upon seeing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but ask Jiang Xiaoli for the exam paper to look at.

Jiang Xiaoli was trapped by a pile of books and couldn't leave. She waved to Xiao Muyu and asked when she came over, "Xiaoyu, have you finished looking at that physics test paper? If you're done, give it to Chen Jing and let her copy it."

Xiao Muyu glanced at Chen Jing and nodded quickly, "I made a copy, I'll get it for you right away."

She brought the test paper over, and instantly a crowd gathered around her, all asking, "Jiang Xiaoli, can we borrow a copy too?"

Jiang Xiaoli certainly wouldn't refuse. "This set of test papers covers all the physics test points for the entire first year of high school. You can copy them and save them."

While things were bustling and lively here, a few people sitting by the window seemed rather unhappy.

Zhang Yuanyuan was acting all high and mighty. "I don't know what she's showing off for. It's only the beginning of the semester and she's already going to the teacher to take a test and ask to study on her own. She's really too much to handle!"

Now that they all knew that Jiang Xiaoli had passed the exams prepared by her teachers, they stopped mentioning her poor performance in the high school entrance exam and instead blamed her for being too high-profile.

Perhaps it's a clash of personalities, but Jiang Xiaoli always felt quite annoyed whenever she saw these girls who liked to pick on her.

However, she is quite open-minded. Although she is very cute, she is not a hundred-dollar bill, and not everyone can love her.

As long as they don't dance in front of her, she can't be bothered to argue with them.

When the bell rang, the students who had been gathered around returned to their seats. They had already harmoniously discussed the order in which to use the test papers.

Xu Xing did not return to the classroom all day today.

After school in the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoli saw Xu Xing in front of her beloved bicycle in the bicycle shed.

She was a little surprised, "You waited for me on purpose?"

"Hmm." Xu Xing nodded, his gaze complex. "Jiang Xiaoli, I admit, you're very capable."

Jiang Xiaoli laughed, her lips curving upwards. "What? Planning to take back your challenge?"

Xu Xing shook his head. "Impossible. You're very capable; you're qualified to be my opponent."

Wow, this comment is still so childish! Interesting!

"How do you want to compete?" she asked directly.

Xu Xing thought for a while, "The knowledge in school is too simple to determine a winner. How about we choose one subject to participate in the Olympiad next year?"

Teacher Liu had mentioned the Olympiad to her before, but she refused. However, this time, she changed her mind.

"Okay, which subject do you want to choose?"

Xu Xing gestured for her to go first, saying, "Ladies first, you choose first."

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Then let's do math."

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

After agreeing on the terms, she rode her new bike home.

Along the way, she hummed a little tune. In her past life, she loved all kinds of extreme sports, and she just loved pursuing victory and excitement.

Now that someone has stirred up her competitive spirit, how could she bear to refuse?

When she got home, Li Guizhi could tell she was in a good mood. "What good thing happened to you today? You've had a smile on your face the whole time."

Jiang Xiaoli stuffed food into her mouth, "I just met an interesting classmate."

Li Guizhi looked up at her, "Male classmate or female classmate?"

"Male student."

Li Guizhi was a little nervous, "Xiao Li, you're still young, you can't be in a relationship too early!"

She almost spat out her food. "Mom! What are you thinking? They invited me to participate in a math competition next year. I just think it sounds interesting."

"Oh, about studying? That's good, haha, I was wrong!" Li Guizhi smiled and put some food on her daughter's plate.

"Yes, don't worry, Mom."

Early romantic relationships are out of the question. The thought of dating someone her own age makes her feel guilty, as if she were persecuting a minor.

While washing the dishes after dinner, she saw an open bag of flour in the kitchen and asked, "Mom, how did it go for Gua Ge's lesson on making steamed buns with you today?"

Li Guizhi seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, "Oh my, these kids are so capable and smart. I just explained to him how to read the recipe I wrote, and Pumpkin made it almost exactly as I described!"

Jiang Xiaoli felt relieved upon hearing this, and she teased, "Mom, it's not everyone, is it? Didn't you hear Dafu and the others say that Zong Jiayu is a kitchen killer?"

"Haha, I've never heard of that, but I have heard that Xiao Zong's grades are excellent! His cooking skills might be a little lacking, but as long as he can make money, that's all that matters. Aren't you clueless about basic agricultural knowledge too?"

She had experienced the feeling of being betrayed by her own mother, but she dared not refute it. With her mediocre cooking skills, she was probably only slightly better than Zong Jia.

Her main focus is on food tasting.

I'd better go back to my room and study.

The next morning, she went for a run in a different direction and came back feeling less out of breath than she had been the day before. She was very satisfied.

Upon arriving at school, after morning reading, she went to the office to report and consult with Teacher Chen about imo. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory!

Chen was surprised, "You still have time to organize competitions?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Isn't this because Xu Xing challenged me to a duel? I have to make time even if I don't have any!"

Chen laughed, "You kids!"

He thought for a moment, “Our school rarely has students who participate in competitions, but I have a friend who mentored two students in competitions last year. I’ll ask him for some materials for you. Take a look first, don’t worry, the preliminary round isn’t until April next year.”

A few workstations away, Teacher Liu was a little unhappy. "Jiang Xiaoli, what's wrong with you? You told me just a couple of days ago that you weren't interested in competitions, how come you've changed your mind now and look down on my physics?"

Jiang Xiaoli was embarrassed. "Teacher Liu, well... times have changed. Can't we all participate?"

"Don't you know that the release dates for Imo and iPhone often overlap?" Teacher Liu complained.

"Hehe." Jiang Xiaoli knew Teacher Liu's temperament well, so she joked, "Teacher Liu, you think so highly of me? You think that if I participate, I can represent the country in the competition?"

Teacher Liu choked, "You're such a chatterbox! It's already quite an achievement that you even made it into the national training team!"

Teacher Chen smoothed things over, saying, "If you can adjust your schedule, then try it out. We can adjust it according to the exam schedule later!"

Jiang Xiaoli naturally wouldn't object, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Chen."

Teacher Liu wasn't arrogant anymore. "Come find me this afternoon to get your study materials!"

"Thank you, Teacher Liu!" Jiang Xiaoli had really grown fond of this physics teacher who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

When she got back to the classroom, the bell had already rung. After class, she went to the back of the classroom and told Xu Xing about her participation in the physics competition.

Xu Xing was not surprised. "I'm fine."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Then it's settled. I'll share the materials the teacher gave you with you later. Don't keep anything good to yourself!"

“Okay,” Xu Xing agreed.
