Chapter 888 Sixth Update
At the end of November, the weather turned completely cold.
It rained on and off for a week, and it finally cleared up on the day of the competition.
The Shing-Tung Yau Undergraduate Mathematics Competition was initiated by Professor Shing-Tung Yau in 2010 and is open to all college students in mainland China, Hong Kong Island and Taiwan.
The test mainly examines students' abilities in four areas: "Analysis and Differential Equations", "Geometry and Topology", "Algebra, Combinatorics and Number Theory", and "Computing, Statistics and Applied Mathematics".
The corresponding awards include the "Hua Luogeng Award", "Chen Xingshen Award", "Zhou Weiliang Award" and "Xu Baoqi-Lin Jiaqiao Award" respectively.
Participating students can choose to participate in one or more subjects. The organizing committee will select the individual all-around award, also known as the "Qau Award", based on the contestants' three best scores!
The day before the exam, when Jiang Fuyue logged into the exam system to print her admission ticket, she found out that Xiao Shan had actually registered her for all five subjects!
Don't be too ruthless.
…
There were 18 examination centers across the country, and there happened to be one in the imperial capital, which saved Jiang Fuyue the trouble of traveling.
On the day of the written test, Xie Dingyuan drove her there.
When we arrived, many students had already gathered outside the examination center.
Most of them formed groups based on their schools to participate in the competition, so they wore T-shirts printed with their respective school logos.
The most eye-catching ones are the teams from Q University and B University.
First, there were a lot of participating students. Jiang Fuyue roughly counted them and found 12 from Q University and 25 from B University!
Secondly, one team wore light yellow and the other team wore dark red, making it hard for people not to notice them.
In the crowd, Jiang Fuyue also saw Q University President Zhou Zhengqi, who not only personally sent the students to the exam, but also gave earnest instructions to each student one by one.
Just like an old father sending his son to war.
Of course, this also shows from the side how much importance Q University attaches to this competition.
The person coming from University B is the director of the School of Mathematics, who is a well-known figure in the Chinese mathematics community.
In contrast, Jiang Fuyue had neither a companion to form a team nor the principal or director to personally escort her to the exam.
There is a sense of loneliness and desolation, with no one caring about you.
At least that's what it looks like from the outside.
However, she herself didn't feel anything.
Because I have a boyfriend with me!
Xie Dingyuan handed her the bottle of mineral water with the label removed: "Bring it into the exam room to drink later."
"good."
"Are you cold? I'll get your scarf from the car..."
"No need." Jiang Fuyue held his hand.
The man frowned and held it back: "Why is it so cold?"
"Is it cold?" She felt okay.
The next second, warmth covered the back of his hand, and Jiang Fuyue was slightly stunned.
Xie Dingyuan had already covered her hand in his palm, rubbing it and breathing on it.
"…Are you feeling any better?"
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: "Warm."
The corners of his mouth turned up and he smiled too.
This intimate interaction, which seemed to oblivious to the surrounding people, had long been observed silently by the students around them.
"Holy crap—that's Professor Xie and Sister Yue?!"
"Don't be ridiculous, why is Sister Yue here so early in the morning? You can't be taking the written test with us, right? Haha——"
The man was halfway through laughing when he noticed that his teammates were staring at him with expressionless faces.
His mouth slowly opened, "No, no way? She's really coming to take the written exam? She's already won the Lasker Award, and she's still competing with us for Shing-Tung Yau?"
"A lot of awards are always a blessing, so would you think too much money is too much?"
"Uh! That won't happen..."
"I only know that she has great achievements in physics and medicine. Is she also so good at mathematics?"
Those who can sign up for the Qiu Chengtong Competition are basically the best mathematicians among college students. Ordinary people don’t even have the courage to take the exam.
"Do you know about the IMO (International Mathematical Olympiad) back then? Sister Yue not only won the gold medal, but also the special prize. It's said that her paper "The J Equation and the Transformation of the Supercritical Hermitian-Yang-Mills Equation," published in Advances in Mathematics, was inspired by the process of solving the problem."
"This... is too scary."
"Jiang Fuyue's comprehensive subject ability instantly defeated everyone present, including the teacher."
"I'm already trembling before the exam even begins."
"Is this the legendary threat from the Great Demon King? What should I do? I want to kneel down."
The boys' focus is on how strong Jiang Fuyue is.
But this is not the case for girls.
Most of them are sighing——
"Ah! Sister Yue is holding Professor Xie's hand!"
"Oh my god! Professor Xie is holding Sister Yue's hand!"
"Oh my god! They are such a perfect match! As soon as I see them, I can't help but want to eat candy."
"Are you a CP fan?"
"Yeah! I even joined the group!"
"Damn! Me too! I met a sister. Come on, let's add each other on QQ first, and then we can pick up candy together after the exam..."
"When I watched the news reports before, I thought the professor was born with a dull face. Wow, I didn't expect him to be so gentle in front of Sister Yue."
"Passing mineral water, warming hands, rubbing, breathing, fixing hair, whimpering... Is there anything else Professor Xie can't do?"
"Tsk! What's so great about that? We're here to take the exam, not to show off our affection outside the exam room. It's just grandstanding and eye-catching!"
Amid the screams of people happily eating candy, this sentence was particularly harsh.
"Ji Xiaoya, can you speak properly?"
"Let's do something earthly, something weird and strange."
Ji Xiaoya: "Who are you calling sarcastic?"
"Whoever responds to me should speak for me."
"You, you guys are totally crazy!" For a stranger Jiang Fuyue, they actually united to attack her!
"You are the one who is sick, right?"
"I won't argue with you. You're bullying me because I'm outnumbered. Let's see what we can do in terms of performance!"
Isn’t it just Jiang Fuyue?
Lasker Award winners and genius girls are all garbage when it comes to math exams!
Every major has its own specialization, and she didn't believe that a math major like her couldn't pass the exam as someone who learned a little bit of everything.
In Ji Xiaoya's opinion, all the praises on the Internet are exaggerated. Is there such a thing as an "all-round genius" in the world?
…
At 8:30, the candidates began to enter the venue.
Xie Dingyuan took off his own scarf and put it on her personally.
Jiang Fuyue's little face was buried in the cashmere scarf. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Xie Dingyuan would have been unable to resist kissing her.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Fuyue: "Wait for me, it will be quick."
How fast exactly?
Jiang Fuyue came out less than thirty minutes after the exam started.
Ji Xiaoya was in the same examination room with her. When she heard the voice "Teacher, I want to hand in my paper", she was completely stunned.
She stared blankly at Jiang Fuyue's back as he left the examination room, then looked down at her own test paper, which she had only finished less than one-third of.
How, how is this possible?
Her speed in solving problems is already top-notch among students of the same major, and there are people who are faster than her?
It’s so much faster...
Ji Xiaoya could only comfort herself that Jiang Fuyue might not know the answers to many questions and left them blank.
When the bell rang to signal the end of the exam and the candidates filed out, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan had already left for a long time.
Zhou Zhengqi stood under the big tree and sighed.
The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office of Q University who came with him walked over and asked, "Principal, what's wrong?"
"I was wondering what the chances are of us winning the remaining gold medal in the individual competition."
The teacher didn’t understand: “…what’s left?”
Zhou Zhengqi curled his lips. Jiang Fuyue took one, so there was only one left, right?
After hearing this, the teacher consoled him, saying, "It's only the first exam, and the results haven't come out yet. Jiang Fuyue may not win the award."
Zhou Zhengqi shook his head and sighed, revealing the helplessness of someone who had experienced it, and a bit of resignation. "Xiao Liu, you know nothing about the power of genius..."
"?"
…
The five exams lasted two and a half days.
Jiang Fuyue finished each exam within half an hour.
Xie Dingyuan personally picked him up and accompanied him throughout the exam.
It was still on the hot search on the last day.
Netizens first ate it up and said it was extremely sweet.
Then the focus fell on -
Sister Yue is already at this level, does she still need to join the Qiu Chengtong Competition?
I seriously suspect Sister Yue is trying to get extra conduct points.
[Well, just for fun~]
[She was going to teach this group of college students, right?]
[Inside sources say Sister Yue handed in her paper and left within half an hour of each exam, causing everyone in the same exam room to lose their minds.]
[Yes, her classmates at Linnan No. 1 Middle School still remember the fear they felt in the exam room when the devil shouted "Hand in your paper"]
[I heard that during the high school physics competition, a girl fainted on the spot because she couldn't bear the pressure because she was in the same exam room with Sister Yue.]
[Legends of the Moon God are everywhere in the world...]
[Okay, yyds (eternal god) I’m tired of saying it]
…
On December 4th, the results of the five written tests came out.
