Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Exclusive
After the results of the preliminary round came out, some students and parents were happy while others were sad. After all, there were so many colleges and universities in Yancheng City. There were nearly a thousand students on the preliminary list who had entered the semi-finals, so there must have been quite a few who were eliminated.
Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan, who were teachers, also knew something about these things, so when they saw their son enter the semi-finals with the first place in the high school competition group, they were very happy no matter how they thought about it.
So when Lin Yimu returned home in the evening, he couldn't help but ask his son about his well-being with a smile on his face. However, in order not to put too much pressure on his son, he did not say much about the competition rankings and scores. He just tried his best to prevent his son from being affected by the outside world.
But when they received the first place certificate from the Mathematical Society on Friday morning, Lin Wanqiu and Lin Bohan couldn't help but praise their son a few more words. Even in the evening when Jiang Wanlin brought his wife and son to celebrate Lin Yimu's entry into the semi-finals, they did not show any unhappiness.
Even during dinner, she spoke a few words to Jiang Wanlin in a friendly manner. Even when Jiang Wanlin suggested that Alyssa bring the children to visit more often and learn more from Lin Yimu, Jiang Wanqiu just glanced at him with an unclear expression and did not refuse.
Lin Yimu was eating quietly. He was not too excited about the conversation and praise at the table. After all, he already knew the result and the certificate was just a proof.
In the days after receiving the certificate, Lin Yimu's life was as peaceful as usual. Only occasionally when he walked on the street, he would be looked at with admiration or praise by his classmates. Occasionally, someone would give him a thumbs up and shout "Lin Shen Awesome!" After all, the results of the preliminary competition had been released a few days ago, and even the certificate had been sent, so the classmates in the school knew everything they needed to know.
When everyone heard the news, they actually had no other thoughts except admiration and praise. Everyone had been numbed by Lin Yimu's learning speed in recent times, and they didn't even feel jealous of him. After all, the gap was too big.
However, these did not affect Lin Yimu. He had slowly learned to ignore the gazes of people around him. He continued to study as usual while occasionally helping Mo Shanshan answer her questions.
It was not until the Olympiad training class, less than half a month before the rematch, that the math teacher walked into the classroom with a set of test papers in his hand and assigned everyone a strategy of doing a large number of questions.
The math teacher put the test paper in his hand directly on the desk and said seriously: "Since everyone will take part in the rematch in less than half a month, although some students' preliminary round results are not ideal," he also glanced at Mo Shanshan, who was at the bottom of the list.
Mo Shanshan felt a little uneasy when the teacher glanced at her, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended not to notice.
The math teacher continued, "But considering that I have been tutoring you for nearly two months, I have seen all the exam tips many times. There is nothing left for me to teach you. Especially Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, your progress is even faster, so I plan to use the tactic of a sea of ​​questions to familiarize you with the question types and competition rules as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he handed the test paper at hand to Lin Yimu, who was sitting in the front row, and asked him to pass it out. He continued, "These test papers are a summary of the difficult questions from previous national competitions and IMO competitions. They summarize some of the most difficult question types and variants from previous competitions. You are not required to finish all of them here. Just 3 to 5 questions a day will be enough. Hand them in after you finish and we will explain them to you."
"If there is anything you don't understand, I hope you won't pretend to know it. You can come up and ask me. If you find the test paper is not difficult, you can try to complete the entire test paper." As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at Huang Minglei and Lin Yimu, who were excited after receiving the test paper.
After listening to the math teacher and getting a few test papers in their hands, the other students looked at the math questions on the papers with expressions of despair.
At the same time, he was both envious and under pressure of the two guys in the front row who looked so excited about the test questions, especially the few people who didn't do well in the preliminary round. They wailed in their hearts while working miserably on the test papers in their hands, and once again lamented the difference between ordinary people and these academic geniuses.
Mo Shanshan, whose grades had already dropped, looked at the test paper in front of her with a depressed look on her face for a long time and couldn't put pen to paper. She had already delayed her studies for some time because of reading novels before. Now, let alone the test papers handed out by the teacher, she couldn't even answer some questions in the preliminary test without the explanation of Huang Minglei and the other three.
Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei, on the other hand, were very comfortable with the test papers in hand. For a moment, everyone started to concentrate on doing the questions. The classroom was quiet with only the sound of Sasha writing. Even the noise outside at the end of class did not affect the quiet atmosphere in the class at all.
Lin Yimu was still immersed in solving problems until school was over in the evening. In the end, it was not until Huang Minglei and Ye Yuankai reminded him that most people in the class had left.
Huang Minglei packed up his things, looked at Lin Yimu with amusement and said, "You are too serious. You didn't even hear the school bell."
Lin Yimu put away the test paper and said with a smile: "It's because one of the questions was too difficult. I was so focused on checking the answers that I didn't pay attention."
Ye Yuankai, who was standing at the door waiting for the two, heard their conversation and rolled his eyes at Huang Minglei, saying, "What right do you have to say that about Lin Yimu? If I hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't know when you would have finished the questions."
Lin Yimu put on his schoolbag, looked at the two of them with amusement, and said as he walked out, "Okay, okay, let's go quickly. I'm worried about a question and I'm waiting to go home to study it."
Huang Minglei looked at Lin Yimu who was walking out in a hurry, and thought of a question he had done before. He also asked about the question he had just done with interest, "You know, I was also stumped by a question just now, but I don't know if it's the same one."
After that, the two began to discuss the types of questions and solutions. During the discussion, Ye Yuankai also joined in because of his solution ideas. The three of them discussed all the way until they parted ways at the school gate.
Lin Yimu walked out of the school gate and headed towards his home. Because he was still thinking about the content they had just discussed, he did not pay attention to the direction he was walking. So when he was walking through an alley, he suddenly heard the sounds of shouting and fighting coming from inside.
Lin Yimu stood at the entrance of the alley, listening to the noise inside with some hesitation. He probably guessed what was happening inside, but he also knew his own limitations and did not rush in rashly. Instead, he took out his cell phone and pretended to call the police to scare the people away.
However, although Lin Yimu did not actually call the police station, he did call Zhang Hechang and explained the situation here.
After making sure that there was really no movement in the alley, Lin Yimu turned on the flashlight function on his mobile phone and carefully leaned against the corner to check the situation inside.
Not long after Lin Yi Mu walked in, he saw a boy in school uniform leaning against the wall. Lin Yi Mu didn't dare to move forward, and for the time being he couldn't see clearly what was happening to the boy.
However, Lin Yimu was worried that the other party might be injured, so he was very careful and gently touched him and said, "Hey, how are you? Are you alive?"
When Lin Yimu got closer, he found that the other person had wounds on his face and mouth, and even some blood on the collar of his school uniform. He didn't know if he had any other injuries on his body.
The boy leaning against the wall heard Lin Yimu's voice and opened his eyes a little. After seeing the person standing in front of him, his tense expression relaxed a little, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you for helping me just now."
Lin Yimu felt relieved to see that the other person still had the strength to speak. Seeing that Zhang Hechang should be almost there, he planned to go forward, help him up and send him to the hospital.
But before he could do anything, footsteps were suddenly heard at the entrance of the alley, making the two men, who were already worried that those people would come back, suddenly nervous.
Lin Yi Mu nervously shone the flashlight in the direction of the footsteps and found that it was a tall man approaching from afar. Lin Yi Mu breathed a sigh of relief only after the man came closer.
"Mr. Zhang, you're finally here. Please help send him to the hospital. If I don't go back, my parents will be worried." After Lin Yimu finished speaking, he turned around and helped the boy leaning against the wall, and explained to him: "Don't worry, the person who came is an acquaintance."
Zhang Hechang looked at the situation in front of him with a baby face. Without saying a word, he took over the person that Lin Yimu was supporting and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. It's getting late now. You should go back quickly."
After Lin Yimu said goodbye to Zhang Hechang, he returned home without encountering any accidents along the way. It was already 11:30 in the evening. After explaining the reason for his late return to his parents who were waiting for him, he returned to his room.
After returning to the room, Lin Yimu sat at the desk as usual. After completing the homework assigned by the teachers one by one, he began to take out the half-finished test paper and continue answering it.
Lin Yimu continued to solve the questions until three or four in the morning. 001 in his mind couldn't bear it anymore and urged him to rest. Only then did he reluctantly close the four test papers in his hands, wash up and go to bed.
Early the next morning, Lin Yimu came to the classroom and handed in his homework for various subjects under the urging of the class representative. Even when he was handing in his chemistry homework, his homework book was lost.
Originally, Lin Yi Mu's homework books had already been handed in, but when the class representative checked the books, he found that a few were missing. After checking the names, he found that Lin Yi Mu was among them.
However, when the class representative went to urge Lin Yimu to hand in his homework, he found out that Lin Yimu had already handed it in, but now the homework book was missing. This made both the person involved and the class representative who collected the homework very confused.
Lin Yimu checked his desk and schoolbag several times, and after making sure that there was no homework book, he turned around and asked the classmate next to him, "Have you seen my chemistry homework book?"
The boy behind him shook his head when he heard this. The other students around him also looked confused. Some even asked Lin Yimu if he had forgotten his homework at home.
Lin Yimu was very sure that he had handed in his homework when he came here, and he didn't forget it at home. But how come his homework disappeared again?
Just when Lin Yimu was confused, he inadvertently saw Jian Yun from Class 13 sneaking in from the door with a notebook in her hand, putting it on a pile of homework books on the desk of the chemistry class representative.
Lin Yimu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Jian Yun and the notebook in her hand. Suspicion rose in his heart, and he walked behind Jian Yun calmly and whispered, "What are you doing sneakily?"
"ah!"
Jian Yun was startled by the sudden sound coming from behind her, and the homework book in her hand was accidentally dropped to the ground.
Lin Yimu's eyes fell on the homework book that fell on the ground, on which were clearly written three big characters: Lin Yimu.
When Jian Yun turned around and found out who was standing behind her, the frightened look on her face calmed down, but when she looked at the homework book that fell on the ground, she showed an awkward and ingratiating smile.
Lin Yimu looked at Jian Yun like this, picked up his homework book on the ground, and said with a smile: "So it was you who really took my homework book. If you want to copy my homework, just come to me directly. Why take it away secretly?"
Upon hearing this, the embarrassment on Jian Yun's face disappeared immediately. Instead, she showed a somewhat servile smile and said, "I didn't do my homework today, and I happened to find out that the homework was the same as your class's, so I thought of borrowing it from you. But you were busy at the time, so I thought of returning it after copying it. Who knew..." He even said that he knew your class checked the homework books to check the names.
Of course, she didn't say the last sentence, but her meaning was clearly shown on her face.
Lin Yimu sighed with amusement, handed in his homework book and said, "Okay, class is about to start, go back first, and don't steal homework books next time. You still have to do your own homework, otherwise it's all in vain if you don't know how to apply the knowledge you learned."
Lin Yimu thought about the homework book, smiled and shook his head. As the bell rang and the teacher arrived, he began to listen to the teacher carefully, and time passed by uneventfully.
