Chapter 53: Left behind, Kaiqing arrives
Ling Xuan stood there in a daze.
Jiang Fuyue had already walked some distance.
It seemed that she mostly showed him her back. Ling Xuan was stimulated by this scene and shouted at her for some unknown reason -
"Jiang Fuyue, I won't be left behind by you forever!"
The figure walked straight forward without stopping.
Facts have proved that words alone are useless. When the strength gap is too great, it is normal for the gap to widen.
Jiang Fuyue completed all 28 pages and handed them over to Xu Jing on Friday, without delaying the training progress, and the accuracy rate was as high as 100%.
Ling Xuan finished on the last day of the deadline, and although his accuracy rate was pretty good, it was far from the legendary level of Jiang Fuyue's "full score".
A small mistake can lead to a big mistake.
Although there is only a difference of 1 between 99 and 100, this 1 is enough to make a huge difference.
Xu Jing said nothing.
In his opinion, it was not that Ling Xuan was not good enough. On the contrary, he was already very outstanding. He was just unlucky to meet Jiang Fuyue, a non-human.
There is no harm without comparison. When two tall enough people stand together, one of them is always taller.
"Why are you sighing for no reason?" Meng Zhijian was marking papers and looked up when he heard the voice.
Xu Jing didn't answer, but instead asked him, "How is Ling Xuan doing recently?"
"He's pretty good. Apart from Jiang Fuyue, he was the first one to hand in his paper. Even though he hasn't studied for a year, he has a solid foundation and is willing to work hard."
After hearing this, Xu Jing's brows not only did not relax, but became even tighter.
Meng Zhijian was surprised: "The students are aware of this, so why are you still worried?"
"I'm afraid the bow will break if it's too tight."
"You mean..."
Xu Jing glanced at him and said, "I don't believe you didn't see that Ling Xuan applied to return to the physics competition class in order to compete with Jiang Fuyue."
"Competition is the only way to progress. I think there's nothing wrong with that. Jiang Fuyue is the catfish, and the rest of the sardines are being chased by her and are struggling to move forward. That's a good thing."
"Think about Ling Xuan's attitude towards studying before, and what is his attitude now?"
In the past, because I was confident enough, I took each step calmly and steadily.
Now that we are in a hurry, it is difficult to ensure that the rhythm is not disrupted.
For an already excellent student, such competition is too risky. If he is not careful, his mentality will collapse.
Meng Zhijian understood his concerns, but he also had his own opinion: "Don't think Ling Xuan is too weak."
…
Jiang Fuyue's daily routine is plain but fulfilling.
She would occasionally go to the bookstore to have a look, but such a good opportunity to find a bargain was rare, so she didn't have much hope.
After a routine visit to the used book section, I didn't find anything good, so I turned around and went to the computer technology and construction engineering reading area.
There is almost no one here, it is perfect for being alone.
Jiang Fuyue found the book that she had not finished reading last time at a fixed location and continued reading from where she had left off.
This wait lasted for two hours.
Because she handed in her paper early, she left school early, and it was just after the normal school dismissal time at No. 1 Middle School.
She put the book back to its original place and passed by an old man when she pushed the door open.
Jiang Fuyue didn't care too much.
Xu Kaiqing walked to the front desk of the bookstore and asked: "Excuse me, do you have any used books for sale?"
The boss nodded: "Yes."
I was secretly wondering: What's going on lately? No one wants new books, so they're all buying used books?
Xu Kaiqing's old eyes lit up: "Can I go and take a look?"
"Of course! Just walk straight to the end and turn left, and that's where they are."
"Thanks."
This is Xu Kaiqing's third visit to Linhuai this month.
The first two times, he was so pressed for time that before he could properly look for "Chou", he was called back to the capital by the school several times. When Old Peter found out about this, he was so anxious in California that he said he had so many things to worry about that he wished he could grow wings and fly over to look for him himself.
Xu Kaiqing was also anxious. He arranged the things at hand as quickly as possible to ensure that he would not be called back to school for trivial matters in the short term. Then, he went south to Linhuai as the director of the National Middle School Physics Competition Committee to investigate the question setting situation, and only then did he manage to get a week's vacation.
It's too difficult for him!
"Old man, what book are you looking for? I can help you." The clerk saw him standing in front of the bookshelf and wandering for a long time, so he kindly stepped forward and asked.
"Are there any manuscripts among these old books?"
"Manuscript?" the clerk was puzzled. "Is it a handwritten manuscript?"
Xu Kaiqing waved his hand. "It looks like a notebook, and the content inside is in English, not the common printed font, but handwritten. There are seven volumes in total, and they talk about physics."
The clerk thought for a moment. "I don't understand English, so I don't know if the content here is related to physics. But there were indeed seven notebooks in this pile of old books. They had dark green covers and looked exactly the same, except for the numbers on the jacket."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xu Kaiqing had just casually walked into a bookstore and asked if there were any used books for sale. Unexpectedly, he had stumbled upon the right bookstore!
He became completely excited, like a dead tree encountering rain or a traveler finding an oasis.
The clerk was startled: "But sir, this set of books has been bought."
"I know, I know! Can you tell me who bought it?"
"This..." The clerk was a little embarrassed, "I don't know that person either."
Xu Kaiqing suppressed his excitement and asked, "What does he look like? Do you have any impression of him? His height, weight, age, and other physical features."
"Yes!" How could I not have an impression?
"That girl is tall and thin, very pretty, and wearing a school uniform. She should be a student of a..." middle school.
"Wait," the clerk was interrupted by Xu Kaiqing anxiously before he could finish his words. "Girl? In school uniform? Are you sure?!"
How is that possible?
How can “sorrow” be a female?
Even if you are a girl, you shouldn't wear school uniform!
The clerk said seriously: "I remember it very clearly, she bought it."
Maybe... it was bought by this girl first, and then fell into the hands of "Chou"?
Yes, that's the only possibility!
In other words, this girl had direct contact with "sorrow", and as long as we find her...
Xu Kaiqing's dim eyes suddenly brightened: "Can you find that girl?"
"Ah! She seems to have just left..."
Jiang Fuyue knew nothing about this.
She walked through the familiar streets and found her apartment building not far away.
Suddenly he stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Brother Hu, she stopped. Did she discover us?" Xiaoliu leaned against the wall and peeked around.
"impossible!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Fuyue suddenly turned around, his eyes falling accurately on the place where the two were hiding: "You've been following me for so long, don't you want to come out and chat?"
Three seconds of dead silence.
Then two people slowly walked out from the corner.
"It's you?" Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows.
Being swept by such a cold gaze, Hu Ben felt a chill on the back of his neck. He finally managed to force a smile, but it was uglier than crying: "Hi, what a coincidence... We meet again..."
