Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The gossipy academic masters
When Teacher Zhou finished explaining the questions, the first evening self-study session was over. As soon as the teacher left the classroom, the class became noisy. Everyone gathered around Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei to ask questions, especially Lin Yimu, who had the most people around him and asked the strangest questions.
There were even girls who asked about things on Weibo out of gossip.
"Lin Yimu, have you really fought with anyone?"
“Were your academic performance really that bad before?”
"Then how did you study to the point where you can participate in the competition training class? The problem you just did on the stage was amazing, without any hesitation at all!"
When everyone heard this question, they all pricked up their ears. Although they were all top students who focused on studying, they were only 16 or 17 years old after all and were still very curious about gossip. Especially the last question about study methods, which was something everyone wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask. Now that someone had asked it, of course they had to listen carefully.
Lin Yimu listened to everyone talking, from asking questions to asking gossip, and was overwhelmed for a moment. He looked up at Huang Minglei in front of him and found that although there were a few people around him, they were nothing compared to him.
The person who wanted to ask for help was in the same situation as himself. Lin Yimu had no choice but to give up looking for help. He put down the high-level math in his hand that he couldn't bear to read any more and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I will answer your questions one by one, okay?"
After hearing Lin Yimu's words, the noisy voices around suddenly quieted down. Even the boys who were discussing the answer with Huang Minglei stopped talking and looked at him curiously.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Lin Yimu forced a smile with some embarrassment on his face. He looked at Huang Minglei, who had also turned around to watch the fun, and gave him a look for help.
Huang Minglei, however, seemed not to notice it. He smiled brilliantly and added fuel to the fire, "Actually, I'm also very curious, Lin Yimu, how did you study? Tell me about it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu glared at Huang Minglei, who was always looking for trouble. He could only helplessly bring out the reasons he had explained to everyone in Class 13 before, saying, "Just read the news on Weibo. Many things are unreliable. Although my grades were very poor at the beginning, they were also in the middle and lower levels. This was because I only thought about playing when I was in junior high school and did not study hard. When I took the entrance exam after participating in the talent show, I did not review because I was always competing. The full score in mathematics later was the result of studying hard.
As for the learning method, I don’t really have one. I can only say that it all depends on my photographic memory. It was only before I took the entrance exam that I read the book carefully and found that I could remember it after reading it once. As for the rest, it all depended on me keeping the book in my hands. ”
After Lin Yimu finished explaining, he showed everyone his desk filled with textbooks, all of which showed signs of being read.
After listening to Lin Yimu's words, everyone nodded doubtfully. The boy standing next to Lin Yimu's desk saw the advanced mathematics spread out on Lin Yimu's desk at a glance and jumped up in shock.
"Fuck! Lin Yimu, you are so awesome!"
Lin Yimu was startled by the boy's sudden exclamation and looked at him in confusion. Even the students standing next to him and behind him were startled by his voice.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? There are people with good academic talents. There is one of them, right? Why are you like this?" The girl standing next to him said while pointing at Huang Minglei in the front row. The other students also nodded and looked at the boy strangely.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him as if he was making a fuss, the boy immediately pointed at the book on Lin Yimu's desk and said, "No! I'm surprised by his book! Lin Yimu is actually already reading advanced mathematics!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Then, except for Huang Minglei who had known about it a long time ago, everyone else who had been calm was stunned like the boy just now.
After a long while, one of the boys came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Lin Yimu, you are so amazing! Now we are starting to look at advanced mathematics, can you understand it all?"
After hearing the boy's voice, everyone came back to their senses from the shock, and looked at Lin Yimu with a look of surprise and disbelief on their faces.
"Boss, this is it! Lin Yimu, you are so awesome! After Huang Minglei, our class has another genius!"
"I feel like a loser compared to the real geniuses! The big guys are already studying advanced mathematics, and I'm still struggling with the application of power functions."
"I will have to study under the guidance of two academic gods in the future. My little heart can't bear it!"
"Jealousy has torn me apart! Boss, please show some mercy next time!"
Lin Yimu saw that everyone looked shocked. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by everyone's exaggerated remarks. He was at a loss as to what to do. He was in such an awkward situation that he couldn't extricate himself.
Finally, Lin Yimu had no choice but to turn his gaze to Huang Minglei for help again, but found that there was no one around him except Mo Shanshan and Ye Yuankai, whom he had just met today. When he looked again, he saw that the person had come to him while he was talking, and was now standing behind him doubting his life.
Huang Minglei saw the gazes of Lin Yi Mu who was surrounded by the crowd, and gave him a helpless smile to show that he was helpless. In the end, it was the class bell that rescued Lin Yi Mu from his embarrassment.
After everyone returned to their seats, Lin Yimu breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't stand everyone's enthusiastic flattery. He knew exactly what his situation was, so when faced with all kinds of envy and compliments from everyone, his scalp would tingle.
If he hadn't had the system to help develop his brain, he might not be able to catch up with the students in this class even if he studied day and night. When it comes to true geniuses and real big shots, they themselves are the ones, and even the one sitting in front of him is the real god.
Others achieved their achievements through their own efforts, while he really relied on the system to have the image of a top student in the eyes of outsiders and good academic performance.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu sighed inwardly. Although he did not feel sorry for himself, he had the idea of studying more seriously. It could be that he did not have the talent or work harder than others.
"Host, please understand that the praise you receive now is all due to your own efforts. If you don't study day and night and don't understand everything you remember, it will be useless even if the system gives you a good brain. The system only stimulates your potential, not replaces your brain or fills you with knowledge all at once. If that were the case, I wouldn't have picked you out of thousands of options. Anyone could have done the job."
The system, which had not spoken for a long time, suddenly changed its usual laziness. Its chubby little face was full of seriousness, and its tone was also full of earnestness.
Lin Yimu was startled by the system suddenly speaking. After listening to its words carefully, he suddenly felt much more open-minded. Although he never showed it, he was actually a little unconfident in his studies. Even though he had mastered all the knowledge he had learned, and even studied whenever he had time every day, he always felt a little empty without communicating with others. This was why he agreed to transfer to another class after the monthly exam.
Although many teachers praised him for his talent in science, without taking exams, he couldn't be sure that he could really be transferred to the top class in advance. If he found out that he was far behind them, he would be hit by the sudden gap.
After hearing the system's explanation, Lin Yimu felt relieved. He smiled and said, "Thank you for explaining it to me. I understand. I won't dwell on it anymore."
When 001 heard Lin Yi Mu's gentle words, he suddenly put on a stern face and said awkwardly: "Who explained it to you on purpose? I just don't want you to be delayed in your studies because of this kind of thing, which will delay the time for me to complete the task." After saying that, he turned his face away and ignored Lin Yi Mu.
Lin Yimu had just finished communicating with the system and lowered his head to write the test paper when he saw an extra note under his paper. It read: Don't be angry, the reason they didn't help you after class was because everyone was curious about you because of the previous news on Weibo, and some people don't like you. You just need to explain it clearly to everyone and everything will be fine. After all, you will have to get along with each other for a long time in the future. As for their flattery of you, it is just a temporary novelty for them. They really admire those who are good at studying. I've been through this before. It will be fine after the novelty wears off.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei's explanation with a smile on his face. In fact, he had already thought of the reason why he did not help him.
After all, this training class is made up of the top students. They may pay attention to news such as gossip, but what is more important to them is learning. Naturally, topics that arouse their interest are also related to mathematics. So after finishing the exercises in class, everyone will naturally become curious about him, and this can explain everything.
Everything that happened afterwards was just the natural admiration of young people for those who study well. People always admire those who are strong, so after they found out that Lin Yimu studied better than them and that those things on the Internet were all fake, they thought they could get along harmoniously.
Lin Yimu put away the note in his hand and began to listen carefully to the teacher's explanation. Occasionally, when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would check it on a piece of scratch paper, or if he really couldn't figure it out, he would write it down and look for an opportunity to ask the teacher. He didn't even think about replying to Huang Minglei's note, which made the other party anxious for the entire class.
Until the end of the evening self-study, Huang Minglei turned his head from his seat and looked at Lin Yimu, anxiously and carefully observing Lin Yimu's expression and asked: "You are not really angry, are you?"
Lin Yimu put all the books into his schoolbag, looked at Huang Minglei who looked anxious and said with a smile: "Why should I be angry? It's not a small matter, you think too much."
"Then why don't you reply to my message during a class?" Huang Minglei still didn't believe it.
Lin Yimu zipped up his pants and asked, "The teacher has been watching us at the podium for the entire class, and we are both sitting right under his nose. What do you think would happen if I passed you a note?"
Huang Minglei thought about it and it seemed to be true, so he nodded and believed what he said. Finally, seeing that Lin Yimu had packed his schoolbag, he quickly put his books and supplies into the schoolbag and said, "Let's go together later. It will be safer with more people. I can also ask someone to take you there."
Hearing this, Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei in surprise and said, "Are your parents so nervous? Do they need to pick you up and drop you off every day? There are still more than two years before the college entrance examination. And with your talent, as long as you can participate in the national competition, you shouldn't have any trouble getting into a good university."
Huang Minglei showed a trace of helplessness when he heard this and said, "My home is quite far from here, and my parents are worried about me going back home alone at night, but they don't want me to live in the school dormitory."
Lin Yimu patted Huang Minglei's shoulder comfortingly, and said as he walked out of the classroom: "Let's go, we'll go out of the school together, but my home is quite close to the school, so your family doesn't need to send you off."
