Chapter 22 Chapter 22 First in Grade, Transfer to Another Class
"Who is the number one? Lin Yimu? He sounds familiar."
"Lin Yimu, the one who is often on the hot search list and is said to have poor grades, actually managed to get first place in the grade this time. Isn't this a huge leap?"
"It's incredible that he was able to surpass those top students and become the first. The negative information on the Internet is simply not credible."
"Didn't you realize that Lin Yimu is in Class 13? The class for the worst students!"
"Another big shot. I don't know why he was assigned to Class 13. He's only a few points away from a perfect score. Isn't it said that he's bad at liberal arts?"
"666! He's 20 points ahead of the second place! I heard that the second place is a top student in the class."
Lin Yimu and Jian Yun stood behind the crowd, listening to everyone's discussion about him. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should squeeze into the crowd to check the scores. They always felt that they would be watched like a monkey.
When Lin Yimu was hesitating whether to go in, Jian Yun, Li Jiayan and Liu Weiwei, who were standing beside him, had already heard the discussions of the crowd and looked at Lin Yimu with joy.
Jian Yun patted Lin Yimu on the shoulder and said, "I knew you would be fine! Now you are number one in the grade!"
“Lin Yimu, you are so amazing! Looking at your score, who would dare to believe that you passed the entrance exam with a low flying altitude!” Li Jiayan also sighed.
Lin Yi Mu felt a little embarrassed by the two people's exclamations, and hurriedly pulled them together. In order to prevent them from continuing to talk and attracting everyone's attention, Lin Yi Mu could only pull them into the crowd to see their scores.
After finally squeezing to the front, Lin Yimu looked at the rows of names and the corresponding scores. He saw his own name at the first position, followed by the grades of each subject and the total score. The one below him was Huang Minglei, who was only 20 points lower than him.
Lin Yimu paid close attention to the other party's scores in various subjects. Mathematics and English were both full marks, but two points were deducted in Chinese for some reason. There were also a small number of deductions in other subjects such as physics, chemistry, and biology, but the total number of deductions was 20 points, which made Lin Yimu a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, Huang Minglei’s score shouldn’t be deducted so much, right?
Just as he was thinking this, Lin Yimu felt someone patting his shoulder, and then Huang Minglei's familiar voice came to his ears.
"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? I called you several times but you didn't respond to me?" As he said this, he looked up at the score on the wall.
When he saw Lin Yimu ranked first, he suddenly realized and teased: "Oh~ So they are looking at your performance as the top scorer in your grade? May I ask, how do you feel after becoming the top scorer in your grade?" As he said this, he pretended to make a fist and put it to Lin Yimu's mouth.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei's nonchalant smile, and slapped his hand away with a bit of a smile and said, "Don't be silly. How dare I have any feelings in front of a college god like you?"
"But I'm quite curious, what happened to you in the exam this time? How come you lost 20 points all of a sudden?" Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei seriously, not caring at all about the group of onlookers around him.
Huang Minglei adjusted the smiling expression on his face, and sighed with pretended sadness: "Why else? Isn't it because..." When he said this, Huang Minglei deliberately prolonged the tone and didn't say it directly, but looked at Lin Yimu with a curious look.
"What else could it be? It's because this guy was careless when doing the test and didn't check the questions carefully, so he got them wrong. Several teachers even scolded him because of this." Huang Minglei's words were not finished by Ye Yuankai who came from behind him and walked closer to the two of them while speaking.
Hearing someone interrupting him, Huang Minglei turned his head with a look of disgust. When he saw that the person was Ye Yuankai, he said with a sigh, "You are the one who talks too much. I was just careless. Next time, I will definitely knock Lin Yimu down from the top spot in the grade!"
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Yuankai and said, "Even if I was careless, I still scored more than ten points higher than you. Look, you've dropped to the top ten."
Ye Yuankai sighed with a sad face and said, "Do you think everyone is as amazing as you and Lin Yimu? I'll be fine as long as I can keep my grades up, and I have to go to training classes in the evening."
"Speaking of this, we will be participating in the competition in less than half a month. How are your preparations going?" Huang Minglei suddenly changed the subject and talked about the competition.
Speaking of this, Mo Shanshan, who came with Ye Yuankai, looked a little worried, "I think I will only be eliminated in the first round. I already find those math problems the teacher is teaching a bit difficult."
"I'm fine. It's not difficult, but after hearing the explanation, I can still do it by myself. It's just that I feel a little nervous when I think about going to the exam room." Ye Yuankai couldn't help but say with a little concern.
Seeing that everyone looked so depressed, Lin Yimu knew that this was a common problem among the top students, just like those people who are obviously rich but keep crying poor. They are the ones who are obviously confident but pretend to be unsure at all.
This made Lin Yimu feel very amused, and he couldn't help but want to tease them, "If you veterans who have participated in competitions and won awards are nervous, then what should I, a newcomer, say? I know that you have all won provincial awards."
"Hehe, isn't this just to please everyone?" Ye Yuankai couldn't help but smiled a silly smile.
Lin Yimu wanted to say something when he suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes from behind.
When he turned around, he found that it was Li Jiayan who had come back from checking the scores at some point. Jian Yun and Liu Weiwei were standing next to him. They were all looking at him and the people around him in silence. After Lin Yimu turned around to look at him in confusion, Jian Yun quickly winked at Lin Yimu and told him to look to the side.
Lin Yimu followed the line of sight of Jian Yun and Li Jiayan and looked around, only to find that the area was full of people but it was surprisingly quiet. Every pair of eyes was staring at them with gossipy eyes.
Lin Yimu twitched his lips when he saw this scene. He didn't know what had happened. While they were chatting, they found an empty corner and waited for people. They didn't expect that someone would still come to watch.
Lin Yimu had no idea that several top students in Class 1, plus him, a frequent hot searcher, and the newly promoted top student in the grade were all chatting in this corner. Of course, this would attract everyone's attention and make them involuntarily run over here. Not to mention that they were all good-looking. This corner was shining.
Lin Yimu tried to regain his normal composure, coughed lightly, and winked around, asking everyone to pay attention.
The other three also stopped talking about the competition and looked around in confusion. They found that a circle of people had gathered around them and were looking at them with a curious look on their faces.
Huang Minglei and his friends were all speechless. In the end, they could only pretend that nothing had happened. They walked out while talking calmly. No one looked around. After all, they didn't want to stay and deal with everyone's eagerness to gossip.
After a group of people left the crowd, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no one was following them. Then, for some reason, they began to laugh inexplicably.
After the few people left, the crowd that had watched the conversation suddenly heard a noisy discussion in the corner of the bulletin board.
"Oh my god! It looks like the top and second in grade know each other? And they seem to have a very good relationship."
"I heard them discussing the competition. Could it be that he saw the rumors online about Lin Yimu participating in the competition, so he really signed up?"
"No way? He barely made it through the entrance exam before, but now he can even discuss competition issues with the top students in Class 1. Is his progress so fast like a rocket?"
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, it turns out that big guys only play with big guys. The thing about him flying low in the entrance exam is all fake. I don't believe that he can make such great progress in such a short time. Those information on the Internet are really a lie to us netizens, right?"
"He's such a powerful academic master, so terrifying! I just want to know how he studies."
After everyone discussed for a while, someone suddenly whispered, "But didn't he cheat before? Is this really his real score?"
Upon hearing this, everyone who was discussing looked towards the person who was speaking.
The person who spoke was a pretty girl with a ponytail. When she saw everyone turning to look at her, she shrank her neck and hid backwards, trying to avoid everyone's sight.
After a long while, someone in the crowd took over and said, "Xue Qinqin, it's not right for you to say that. Wasn't it explained clearly at the flag-raising ceremony? The boy who wanted Lin Yimu to help him cheat also read out his apology in front of all the teachers and students in the school. Moreover, Lin Yimu did not help multiple parties. The teachers have checked this and it is impossible for him to be fake."
The girl who answered this question was an apple-faced girl, who obviously knew the girl who had just accused Lin Yimu of cheating.
The crowd around were talking about what the two girls said. Of course, everyone still believed in the school's handling of the matter. The only thing they were talking about was why this girl brought up the matter again. Most of them were there to watch the fun. After all, who would want to miss out on something fun to watch?
So it's not time for class yet. The students who had already looked at their scores and the excitement of Lin Yimu were planning to go back to class, but now, wow, there's more gossip to look at.
As for the fact that the protagonist of this gossip is not here, that doesn’t matter, as long as there is something interesting to watch.
The girl named Xue Qinqin, who was surrounded by the crowd, was not timid at all when facing the girl who just took her flowers. She continued to speak softly, "Who knows if he found a scapegoat? After all, he was able to enter this school through the back door. It is not impossible for him to find someone to take the blame for him. After all, did we see it?"
The girl's words made everyone frown and think again about how Lin Yimu got into their school. Some people couldn't help but start to murmur in their hearts.
The female classmate who had argued with Xue Qinqin before, seeing that she had stirred up everyone's doubts and suspicions with just a few words, immediately sneered and said, "You can get into the school through the back door, but how can you get through the back door under the eyes of the cameras and two invigilators? If you are jealous that others are better than you, just say it directly. You are targeting Lin Yimu so much, isn't it because you think that he has taken your place in the class that is almost one level higher? You don't even consider whether your grades can compare with his. You are jealous."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, everyone who was still talking looked at the girl with some confusion, and they all had a look of confusion on their faces.
"Ai Qing! How can you say that to me? I just think that the gap between Lin Yimu's grades and when she entered school is too big, and I'm a little confused. No matter how fast a person improves, it's impossible for him to go from just passing to first in the grade in just half a month. I have my reasons for doubting him." Xue Qinqin said as she shrank back from the crowd with a look of being bullied, her eyes a little red.
Seeing her like this, some boys who had some doubts felt a little bit sorry for her. Although many of them didn't know this girl, they were classmates after all, and it was never good to make someone cry like this.
So some boys wanted to stand up and say a few words for Xue Qinqin, but were interrupted by the girl named Ai Qing.
"What did you say? What I said is all true. I heard what you and your good sisters were whispering just now. You said that if it weren't for Lin Yimu, you would have been able to get into Class 1. You didn't know if his grades were real. After all, he helped others cheat, which shows that he is also a frequent cheater in exams. You also said that he is not a good person. I heard more. Do you want me to continue telling you?" Ai Qing ignored the obstruction of her friends and said everything she heard in one breath, with a tone as sarcastic as possible.
When Xue Qinqin heard Ai Qing's words, her face was embarrassed for a moment, but soon she turned back to her pitiful look as before, and said weakly: "I didn't, I didn't say that at all."
Ai Qing looked at her with some contempt, and said in a disdainful tone: "You know whether she said it or not. As for whether everyone believes it or not, just look at the score announcement list and you will know. If it weren't for Lin Yimu, she would indeed be admitted to Class 1, and she would have entered by just enough score to get in." After saying this, she snorted disdainfully.
"You! Ai Qing, don't go too far!" Xue Qinqin was so embarrassed that she could no longer pretend and glared at Ai Qing angrily. "Even if I can get into Class 1 by the score line, it's better than not being able to get in no matter how hard you try!"
Upon hearing this, Ai Qing rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Sister, do you want to take a look at the scores? Who can't get in no matter how hard they try? If your eyes are not good, you can donate them. Don't embarrass yourself here. Even if you are Lin Yimu, you can't get into Class 1." After saying this, she turned around and walked towards the classroom with her friend without caring about everyone's reactions.
The people who stayed to watch the fun had finished and walked back to the classroom, talking and laughing. Some of them were curious about Xue Qinqin and Ai Qing's scores, so they went to the notice board and looked for their names one by one. Then they looked at Xue Qinqin with strange eyes and left, talking and laughing with their friends.
Xue Qinqin and her friends, who were standing nearby, vaguely heard their name mentioned in their discussion.
"This Xue Qinqin is from Class 3? I just checked her score, and she's still a few points away from the last place in Class 1. How can she be so embarrassed?"
"That's right, and they even accused Lin Yimu of cheating. His score was only two points away from a perfect score, and he doesn't even have that much in his age group."
"She's thick-skinned and jealous. The girl named Ai Qing seems to be in the same class with her. She really managed to get into Class 1. That's quite remarkable."
"Yes, those in Class 1 are not human beings. Their academic performance is not comparable to that of students in ordinary classes. Two people in Class 1 will be replaced tomorrow."
Listening to these discussions, Xue Qinqin clenched her fists with a grim expression, lowered her eyes and walked towards the bulletin board to check Ai Qing's results. When she saw that Ai Qing scored one point higher than the last student in Class 1, her expression became even uglier. She didn't expect that Ai Qing really got into Class 1 by just enough score.
Some students who had not left yet were speechless when they saw Xue Qinqin's ugly face, but they just stood aside and watched the fun without going forward to comfort her. Even the boys no longer had any sympathy for her.
After all, no matter what, although other people's grades are poor, they are better than theirs. What qualifications do they have to pity and comfort others when they can't even get into the first class? They should just comfort themselves first.
——————
Lin Yimu, who left early with Huang Minglei and others, of course had no idea what happened on the bulletin board.
However, with so many students in the school watching the excitement, how could it be kept secret? So Lin Yimu soon heard about what had just happened on the bulletin board from Jian Yun, who was carefree and had many friends.
"I heard that Xue Qinqin from Class Three was just a few points away from getting into Class One, but she didn't get in, right? So she blamed you, meaning that she would have gotten into Class One without you. Then she said that your scores were not obtained legitimately, and then a girl in her class who disliked her retorted a few words to her, and then a quarrel started." Jian Yun told Lin Yimu and the others what she had just heard with a little anger, and curled her lips with a tone of disgust, looking very disdainful.
Lin Yimu looked at Jian Yun and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be angry. Why do you care what others say? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts. I didn't cheat, so I'm not afraid of them finding someone to check."
Seeing that Lin Yimu was still calm, Jian Yun sighed helplessly and said, "I'm really like an emperor who is too anxious to be anxious. Can you have some normal human emotions? For example, if you are misunderstood, shouldn't you be angry or something? Why are you always like this and have no temper at all?"
Hearing Jian Yun's complaint, Li Jiayan and Liu Weiwei also nodded and looked at Lin Yimu with confusion.
"What are you thinking about? I also have normal emotions. I just think it's not worth wasting my emotions and time on things like this. I'm a person who wants to do big things, how can I waste time on unimportant things." Lin Yimu said calmly while reading a book.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yun and the other two looked at the man who was flipping through a book while talking to them, and they all had conflicted expressions on their faces.
Finally, Li Jiayan asked curiously, "Let's not talk about whether it's a waste of time. Can you really learn from reading while chatting with us? I've been curious about this for a long time."
Lin Yimu looked at the three people staring at him with curiosity, and didn't say much. Instead, he pushed his book and draft paper filled with various formulas and problem-solving processes in front of them.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion, and leaned over to look at the book and draft paper that Lin Yimu pushed over. After looking at them for a while, the three of them turned to look at Lin Yimu with dead fish eyes and said in unison: "Do you think we can understand it?"
Lin Yimu looked at the three people and suddenly burst out laughing.
He laughed for a long time, until the three of them glared at him fiercely, Lin Yi Mu stopped and said: "You don't understand but you're staring at it for a long time, I thought you could understand it. Hahahahaha." After saying that, Lin Yi Mu couldn't help laughing again.
Jian Yun was originally a little annoyed by Lin Yi Mu's smile and wanted to hit him with the book. However, when she turned around with the book in her hand and saw Lin Yi Mu's brilliant smile, she was distracted for a moment.
Finally, it was the sound of the class bell that brought Jian Yun back to her senses. She looked at Lin Yimu's handsome face, her eyes flashed, and she turned around and started class without saying anything.
Lin Yimu didn't notice Jian Yun's distraction at all, but focused on the calculus book in his hand.
For him, apart from studying, there is nothing else that can distract him for the time being. Now, apart from doing some competition questions given by the teacher, he is self-studying advanced mathematics. He only has time to ask the teacher for answers to many of the knowledge he does not understand during the training class.
Lin Yimu is not only studying mathematics, he also has professional books on physics, chemistry and biology to read. He has no extra time to waste. He now wishes he could split one minute into two halves.
The knowledge he learned was not actually what he wanted to learn, but because the system said that if he wanted to achieve something in these three subjects, he had to learn them. Even if he didn't learn them now, he would still have to learn them when he went to college. Therefore, Lin Yimu could only learn them as early as possible to avoid the difficulty of relearning them in college.
As for what the achievement the system was talking about, Lin Yimu didn’t know at the moment, and he hadn’t even decided which subject to specialize in.
The reason why he agreed to the system to study all three subjects was just to be prepared. If he was interested in any of the subjects in the future, he could directly change his major. Anyway, his brain had been stimulated by the system, so he learned things quite quickly.
At the end of the day's classes, Lin Yimu said goodbye to Jian Yun and the others amid the astonished and envious eyes of his classmates, packed up his schoolbag and textbooks, and walked towards Class 1.
Lin Yimu, the newly promoted top student in the grade, was once again regarded as a role model to motivate students by teachers in various classes. He was the "other people's child" in the eyes of parents, which made Lin Yimu famous in the first year of high school again.
So when Lin Yi Mu arrived at the door of the classroom with his schoolbag and books in his arms, he was stared at by all the students who had been kept after class. They stared at him curiously, and their gazes seemed to be able to open a hole in him.
This made Lin Yimu stop at the door for a moment, not knowing whether to go in or retreat.
Just when Lin Yimu was struggling, the chemistry teacher who was giving the lecture finally stopped his endless lecture and asked the students to leave the get out of class. When he turned around, he saw Lin Yimu standing at the door of the classroom.
He immediately smiled and said, "Come on, come in quickly, I've finally got you as my student, and I was worried that Teacher Su wouldn't let you go."
Then he asked Lin Yimu to come to the podium, introduced the students below, and pointed to the seat next to Huang Minglei and said, "You can sit next to Huang Minglei. You two should be familiar with each other in the competition class, right?"
"Yes, it is quite familiar. Thank you, teacher." After Lin Yimu thanked him politely, he walked towards the place the teacher pointed out with his book in his arms.
Lin Yimu walked through the aisle where students were looking at him curiously and came to the empty seat next to Huang Minglei. As soon as he walked in, Huang Minglei quickly stood up to help Lin Yimu take the stack of books in his hand and put them on the empty seat inside.
Lin Yimu looked at the man who winked at him when he stood up to help, and patted his shoulder lightly with some amusement, saying, "Thank you, but this doesn't mean you can avoid treating me to a meal."
Huang Minglei sighed and said speechlessly: "Am I that kind of person? Come over this weekend and I'll cook for you. Even if it doesn't taste good, you have to finish it." As he said this, he glanced at Lin Yimu with a gloating look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi Mu sat down in his seat without changing his expression and shrugged, saying, "I won't eat if it's not delicious. How can the food you invite people to have be bad? You will lose me as a friend if you do this." As he said that, Lin Yi Mu pretended to be serious and looked at Huang Minglei.
Huang Minglei turned around and looked at Lin Yimu in surprise when he heard that. He found that Lin Yimu looked very serious. After holding it in for a long time, he asked in disbelief: "Are you serious? Is this just for a meal? I really can't cook!" Huang Minglei was a little frustrated when he said the last sentence.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei, who was in disbelief and frustration. He could no longer hold back the tense and serious expression on his face and burst out laughing. He leaned on the table and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
"Lin Yi Mu! You are playing a trick on me! There is no dinner for the weekend!" Looking at Lin Yi Mu lying on the table and shaking with laughter, he understood that he was played by this guy with a bad taste, and he yelled at him angrily.
The words Huang Minglei shouted directly attracted the attention of the few students left in the class after school, and they all looked at the two with curiosity.
Seeing that he had made the man angry, Lin Yimu immediately sat up without caring about laughing and said, "No, that's not nice. You have to treat me to a meal this week, and I'll treat you to my house next week. My parents cook delicious food."
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Didn't you say you wanted to do it yourself?" Huang Minglei looked at Lin Yimu with contempt.
Lin Yimu said with a cunning smile: "Don't you know how to do it? Then forget it."
Huang Minglei took a while to react. Seeing Lin Yimu's cunning smile, he finally realized what was happening and punched Lin Yimu in the chest. "Hey, you're trying to trick me! You can't even cook, right?"
Lin Yimu was hit and didn't dodge, but he didn't answer either. Instead, the smile on his face became brighter and more handsome.
…
In the evening, when Lin Yimu returned home, Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan were not asleep yet. They were sitting in the living room watching TV. When they heard the door open, they looked back.
Seeing that it was Lin Yimu who came back, Jiang Wanqiu stood up and went to the kitchen to serve the soup. She turned to Lin Yimu and said, "Put your schoolbag down quickly and drink the soup first. This is specially made for you by your father today. He cooked it for two or three hours."
Lin Yimu put down his schoolbag, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, came out and sat at the table and took a look at the soup in the bowl. It was milky white with chopped green onions floating on it. It smelled very fragrant, but he didn't know what kind of soup it was.
He picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of the soup and tasted it. It tasted quite good. His father was really good at making soup.
While Lin Yimu was drinking soup, Jiang Wanqiu exchanged glances with Lin Bohan, then asked softly and carefully, "Son, your school's monthly exam is over, right? How did you do?"
Lin Yimu paused for a moment while scooping the soup when he heard this. Seeing his parents being cautious, he suddenly felt sad.
Although his parents always said that they didn't care how he did in the exams, even when he had barely passed the exams before and even failed math, his parents just nodded his head helplessly every time and never beat or scolded him.
At that time, he always thought that his parents didn't care about his grades, and no matter what he did, he would just bring it back to his parents for signature. But now seeing his parents cautiously asking about his grades, Lin Yimu suddenly understood.
It’s not that his parents don’t care about his grades, it’s just that he never noticed it before.
Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan saw that their son hadn't spoken for a long time, so they looked at each other and became a little worried. At the same time, they also regretted asking about their son's grades.
Recently, because their son's grades have improved, they have also been looking forward to it, so they couldn't help but want to ask him, but now seeing that their son has not spoken for a long time, they are unsure again.
Finally, it was Lin Bohan who spoke up: "It's okay. If it really doesn't work, mom and dad won't ask. Just drink your soup quickly." After saying that, he was about to pull Jiang Wanqiu back to the sofa to continue watching TV.
Seeing his parents' cautious expressions, Lin Yimu lowered his eyes and opened the schoolbag behind him. He took out the monthly exam paper from it and handed it to the two of them. He said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, I got first place in the grade this time."
Lin Bohan and Jiang Wanqiu reached out to take the test paper handed to them by their son, opened it with suspicion and looked directly at the score in the upper right corner.
When they saw the scores above, they both widened their eyes in disbelief, looked at the test papers in their hands, then looked up at their son who was drinking soup, and couldn't believe that this was true.
Jiang Wanqiu's face flushed with joy. She opened all the test papers of Lin Yimu in all subjects and looked through them. She still murmured in disbelief, "Am I seeing things? Our son is only three points away from full marks? Am I dreaming?" As she spoke, she pulled Lin Bohan.
Lin Bohan was also full of disbelief. Their son, who had such poor academic performance that he even failed in math, now got full marks in math and other subjects as well. Only his Chinese composition had three points deducted. This made Lin Bohan feel like he was dreaming.
However, when his wife pulled him back, Lin Bohan came back to his senses and looked at his son and said, "Son, is this really your real score? You didn't cheat, did you?"
"Old Lin! What are you talking about! No matter how much he cheats, he can't get a score this small, which is three points short of full marks. This must be the score my son got on his own." Jiang Wanqiu heard what Lin Bohan said, and before Lin Yimu could react, she quit.
After Lin Bohan said this, he also felt that it was unreliable. After all, no matter how much he cheated, it was impossible to get such a high score. He quickly looked at his son and said, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I was just so scared that I spoke without thinking." As he said this, he slapped his mouth.
Lin Yimu looked at the happy faces of his parents and for the first time thought that it would be good to follow the tasks issued by the system and become a person who could bring glory to the country. After all, it could make his parents happy and even proud of him.
…
On the weekend, Lin Yimu arrived at school early in the morning and went straight to the classroom of the training class.
Because of the punishment for the previous cheating incident, Lin Yi Mu had to come to school to study even on weekends. However, this was a good thing for Lin Yi Mu. After all, he would go to the library at home. Now that there were teachers to help answer his questions, Lin Yi Mu was very happy.
As soon as he arrived at the classroom door, Lin Yimu looked up and found that there were already several people sitting in the classroom, which made him very confused.
Did everyone get punished together? What did I do wrong?
Confused, Lin Yimu walked into the classroom and sat down at a random place. He looked at the students in front and behind him and asked, "Are you guys being punished too?"
A boy sitting next to Lin Yimu looked at him with some confusion when he heard this. Then, as if he remembered something, he said with a somewhat resentful look on his face, "How is that possible? We were not punished, but we were also called here by the teacher. He said that the competition is about to begin, and everyone has to come to participate in the training on the weekends in the future, and try to learn as much as possible."
Lin Yimu nodded when he heard this, and looked around the class to see that there were only five or six people, not even Huang Minglei and Ye Yuankai and the others had arrived yet, so he simply took out his book and continued reading.
When the class bell was about to ring, Lin Yi Mu saw Huang Minglei and Ye Yuankai who were late, but he did not see Mo Shanshan. This made Lin Yi Mu look at the two of them curiously. This was not right. Didn’t the three of them live in the same community and often go to school together? Why didn't you come together this time?
After Huang Minglei entered the classroom, he went straight to Lin Yimu and sat down in the empty seat next to him. Seeing that he looked a little confused, Huang Minglei of course guessed what he was confused about.
"Mo Shanshan has something to do at home and can't come today. She has already asked for leave from the teacher." After satisfying Lin Yimu's curiosity, Huang Minglei took out his books and began to prepare for class.
When the bell rang, the Olympiad teacher, who was also the math teacher of Class 1, walked in with a stack of test papers in his hand. He looked at the students sitting neatly below and distributed the test papers to the students in the first row one by one.
In between distributing the test papers, the math teacher said, "As you all know, there is less than half a month left before the competition begins, so starting from this week, in order to let everyone adapt to the competition atmosphere and the difficulty of the test questions as quickly as possible, the school has decided to give you tutoring on weekends. The content of the tutoring is one test paper every day."
The math teacher paused, and seeing that the test papers had been distributed, he continued, "The questions on this test paper are based on the difficulty of the competition, and the content is also based on the content tested in previous years' competitions, that is, knowledge in number theory, geometry, and algebra. As long as you listen carefully in class and review well when you go home, you will basically have no problem in the league. Okay, everyone, start doing the questions. Do the questions in the morning, and explain the questions in the afternoon."
After saying that, the math teacher stopped paying attention to everyone and sat on the podium to start correcting everyone's class assignments, only occasionally looking up at the students below the stage.
After getting the test paper, Lin Yimu looked at the math questions carefully and found that they were just as the math teacher had said. They were much more difficult than the usual questions the teacher gave, but the content was not as complicated as the teacher had said. The proportion of number theory and geometry questions was higher than that of algebra, which also shows that these two questions will account for a larger proportion in the league's questions.
But when he turned to the last page, Lin Yimu found a problem involving calculus.
When Lin Yimu was looking at the last problem to be solved, Huang Minglei, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "How do you feel? Do you have the confidence to compete? Let's see who has the highest accuracy rate."
Lin Yimu looked up at him with a half-smile and said, "We're not competing in speed this time?"
Huang Minglei's face darkened when he heard this, and he said, "I feel so unlucky that I dare not compete with you in speed! Do you really want me to say it out loud?"
Lin Yimu smiled secretly when he heard this. Seeing that Huang Minglei was about to go berserk, he immediately said, "Don't be angry. If you don't want to compete, then don't compete. Just compare the accuracy rate."
Although he said this, he was secretly laughing in his heart. Ever since the last time he got into a competition with him to see who was faster and who had a higher accuracy rate and suffered bad luck, Huang Minglei never mentioned the idea of competing with him in speed again. Every time, they only compared the accuracy rate and refused to tell him the reason.
At noon, after the last class, Lin Yimu packed his schoolbag, but his mind was thinking about the test paper he had just done. There was a question on number theory, which was a little difficult, but did not stump Lin Yimu.
The reason why he was still thinking about this problem after school was mainly because he and Huang Minglei had a slight disagreement during the calculation process. They each held their own opinions and neither could convince the other, which made Lin Yimu puzzled.
"Hey! Are you still thinking about it? Don't think about it. It's time for lunch after school. Where are you going to eat?" Huang Minglei saw Lin Yimu's slow look and knew what he was thinking, so he slapped him on the back and interrupted his thoughts.
Lin Yimu came back to his senses, stuffed his schoolbag into the desk, stood up and said, "Don't think about it, let's wait for the teacher to explain the questions in the afternoon. Where are you going to eat?"
Because today is the weekend and all the students are on holiday, the cafeteria is not open. Also, because there is only a two-hour lunch break, it is too late to go home and cook, so Lin Yimu is worried about where to eat. After all, their school campus is quite remote and there are not many restaurants with delicious food.
"Since you have nowhere to go, why don't you come with me for dinner? You can come to my house in the afternoon, and we can discuss some problems in number theory. I'll treat you to dinner at the same time." Huang Minglei suggested as he walked forward, blocking the scorching midday sun with his hands.
Lin Yimu pondered for a while and said, "That's fine, but I have to tell my parents first."
"Okay, okay, let's go. It's important to have lunch first. I'm starving. I didn't even have time to have breakfast this morning." Huang Minglei said as he quickly walked towards the school gate.
