Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Exclusive
On the second day of school, before Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei had time to catch up with their friends, they were notified to go to Beijing to participate in the national team's training.
When the two heard the news, they looked at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes. Finally, Huang Minglei, who was more active, asked, "Director Chen, didn't you say that the training camp is held in March every year? Why is it advanced this year?"
As the school's director of teaching, Chen Yu knew many things earlier than the school's teachers. He was also a little surprised when he learned that this year's training camp would start earlier. So he was not surprised by Huang Minglei's doubts. Instead, he smiled and explained, "It is said that the people above are paying some attention to this year's IMO competition, so the Mathematics Association plans to start this year's training camp earlier, so that everyone can have more training time and achieve a good result in this IMO competition."
Lin Yimu and the others were even more confused when they heard this. After all, the IMO competition is held every year. Although the country provides support, they have never heard of people above paying any special attention to it. Why would such news come out this year?
Although the two were full of doubts, they did not ask any more questions, but nodded in understanding. Anyway, they would go when the training started, and apart from the process and results of the training, the affairs of those people above had nothing to do with them.
Seeing that the two were silent, Chen Yu directly told them the time to leave for Beijing City. "Based on your grades, you will probably stay in the training team for a long time. Go home and pack your luggage today. Meet at Yan University at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. There will be a team leader to lead you to Beijing City."
After listening, the two of them noted the time and stayed in Chen Yu's office for a while, listening carefully to Chen Yu's repeated instructions to them, and carefully remembering the points that needed attention. After they came out of the office, they went straight home to pack their things.
Early the next morning, Lin Yimu arrived at Yan University in his father's car. This time, he was still waiting at the school gate with a group of people who were going to participate in the training camp. However, this time, they were not waiting for the team leader, but the team leader was waiting for the upcoming students at the school gate in advance. Every time a student came, Ye Jingshuo would write down his name in the notebook in his hand.
When all the members of Yancheng selected for the national training team arrived, it was exactly eight o'clock. Ye Jingshuo read everyone's names again and said, "Since everyone is here, we won't say much. Next, everyone should get on the bus to the airport in order. Remember to take care of your luggage and don't lose it."
As soon as Lin Yimu arrived at the school gate, he saw Huang Minglei, Yuan Mingxu and Ke Chengyan standing in the corner, and he quickly walked towards the three of them. The three of them were very happy to see Lin Yimu coming. After greeting each other and saying hello, they began to chat from time to time, but mostly they were discussing exercises.
When they heard Ye Jingshuo start reading out the names, the four of them stopped talking and listened carefully. When Ye Jingshuo finished his instructions, a white bus stopped in front of everyone.
The bus stopped and the door opened. Professor Wan walked down with a kind face and a smile. He looked at the students standing in a group and said, "Okay, everyone line up to put your luggage under the car. After you put your luggage, hurry up and get on the bus. Jing Shuo and I will lead the team to Beijing University for training this time. If you have any questions, you can come to us."
As soon as Professor Wan finished speaking, the students lined up obediently beside the open carriage, waiting to put their luggage.
Because Lin Yimu, Huang Minglei and the other three had been standing in a corner sheltered from the wind and talking, they were now standing relatively far back in line. By the time they had put their luggage away and got on the bus, they were almost the last group.
As soon as they got on the bus, the door was closed. Lin Yimu and the other three looked around the bus. Although there were still many empty seats, the bus was a bit messy and noisy at this time, so in the end the four of them unanimously chose the quieter back seats to sit down.
After Lin Yimu and the other three sat down, the car started to move slowly and arrived at the airport in a short while.
After everyone from Yancheng got on the plane, they didn't dare to speak loudly because it was quite quiet inside. They just rested or read quietly.
After arriving at the Beijing Airport, the group was taken away by a bus sent by Beijing University to pick them up, and were directly arranged to stay in the student dormitory specially prepared by Beijing University for training.
The student dormitory is a four-person room, and this time Lin Yimu was assigned to the same room with Huang Minglei, Yuan Mingxu, and Ke Chengyan. However, it was not a coincidence, but rather the request of Lin Yimu and the others. After all, compared to the others, the four of them were more familiar with each other and could get along better.
Lin Yimu and his three companions carried their suitcases and followed the life teacher who led the way to their dormitory. After the life teacher left, the four of them walked into the dormitory and began to make beds and pack their luggage.
Lin Yimu carefully looked at the dormitory environment and beds, and finally turned to the three people and said, "Take a look at which bed you want to sleep in and choose it first. After all, you will be living here for two or three months. If you are not used to it and don't get a good rest, it will not work."
Huang Minglei and the other two were also carefully looking at the room and walking around it. After listening to Lin Yimu's suggestion, Yuan Mingxu was the first to speak lazily, "Then I'll choose first. I want to sleep in the innermost bed by the window. I'm a light sleeper and I'm afraid I won't sleep well."
Yuan Mingxu also knew that it was actually a great advantage for him to choose first, and he had grabbed a good seat as soon as he came up. He was also afraid that the others would feel uncomfortable, so he directly explained why he chose the bed.
Lin Yimu and the other two had no objections. Although Huang Minglei also wanted to choose the one closest to the window at first, he didn't say anything after hearing Yuan Mingxu's explanation. After all, living in the same dormitory requires mutual understanding.
"Then you two can choose first for the remaining ones. I have a good sleep quality and I won't suffer from insomnia no matter where I sleep." Lin Yimu saw that Yuan Mingxu had made his choice and turned to look at Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan.
Ke Chengyan still looked like a cool guy, but after spending some time with him, they realized that he was not really cold, but was just not good at communicating with people, especially unfamiliar strangers, so Huang Minglei turned around and let the other party choose first.
After the four of them were assigned beds, they started talking about what they had seen during the winter break while sorting their things. When Huang Minglei heard that Lin Yimu and Yuan Mingxu had met in his hometown, and that Lin Yimu had even been helped by Yuan Mingxu's uncle in the hospital, he sighed and said, "It's such a coincidence that you two met in such a small county, and the kind person you met in the hospital turned out to be Yuan Mingxu's uncle."
After hearing Lin Yimu's story, Yuan Mingxu realized that he actually knew his uncle, and at such a long time ago. No wonder he felt that his uncle was a little strange when they met before, and he paid too much attention to his classmates. In the past, his uncle had never been interested in his friends and classmates.
Thinking of this, Yuan Mingxu said with a puzzled and interested look on his face: "Why didn't you mention it when we met before? You actually know my uncle. When did it happen? Why don't I remember my uncle going to the hospital?"
Lin Yimu looked at Yuan Mingxu's gossipy face and explained in a somewhat speechless manner how he and He Xiuji knew each other. He then emphasized, "I have only met your uncle twice. Once was in the hospital not long after school started, and the other time was last time. Were you there too? I am not familiar with your uncle at all. I don't even know his name."
"Oh, I see. My uncle asked a few questions about you that day, and I wondered why he suddenly became interested in you." Yuan Mingxu said thoughtfully.
Ke Chengyan, who had been listening to the three people's conversation, finally heard something strange this time and couldn't help but ask, "Your uncle is interested in Lin Yimu? Judging from your age, your uncle should not be young anymore, right? Isn't this a bit disrespectful to the elderly?"
As soon as Ke Chengyan finished speaking, the atmosphere around them immediately became a little strange. Lin Yimu and the other two couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him with strange expressions. They really didn't understand Ke Chengyan's train of thought. What was he thinking about that he would ask such a strange question.
Ke Chengyan looked at the three people's expressions and said in confusion: "What's wrong with you? I didn't say anything wrong, did I? After all, it's strange for an elder to ask about his nephew's friends, and Lin Yimu is indeed very handsome."
Lin Yimu: “…”
Huang Minglei: “…”
Yuan Mingxu: “…”
The three of them were speechless for a while.
Only Yuan Mingxu couldn't help but glance at Lin Yimu's face after listening to Ke Chengyan's words. Looking at Lin Yimu's handsome and energetic eyes, and the contradictory yet harmonious temperament around him, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that his uncle really fell in love with Lin Yimu?
In fact, it is not impossible if you think about it. After all, his uncle has never had any women around him for so many years, let alone a girlfriend, he doesn't even have good female friends. This made the family wonder if his uncle liked men, but they didn't notice it because he was surrounded by middle-aged bosses.
And now that someone like Lin Yimu has finally appeared, shouldn’t we pay attention to him?
Thinking of this, Yuan Mingxu couldn't help but show a bit of conflict on his face. He didn't know whether he should be happy that his uncle had someone he liked, or feel a moment of silence for the fact that his uncle liked his friend, who was a minor and the other person didn't even know his name.
Just when Yuan Mingxu was struggling with his thoughts and even thinking about whether to find an opportunity for Lin Yimu to spend more time with his uncle, the startled Huang Minglei finally came back to his senses. He looked at Ke Chengyan in disbelief and said, "Oh my god! Ke Chengyan, your idea is too weird. Yuan Mingxu's uncle is an elder. Even if he asked about Lin Yimu, it might be out of concern for his son's friendship. How could you think of that kind of thing!"
Yuan Mingxu, who was lost in his thoughts, and Lin Yimu, who was stunned by Ke Chengyan's words, were brought back to their senses by Huang Minglei's words.
For some reason, when Lin Yimu heard Huang Minglei say that the man was his elder again, what flashed through his mind was the fierce yet cold and noble look when he helped him in the hospital, and the extremely cold and sharp eyes he saw at the door of the hotel that day.
This doesn't match up with what they call their elders.
In the end, Yuan Mingxu couldn't bear to see his uncle become a middle-aged uncle in their minds, so he explained: "What are you thinking? My uncle is not the middle-aged uncle in your impression. He is only 22 years old this year. Even if he likes Lin Yimu, it won't be that difficult to accept... right." At the end, Yuan Mingxu couldn't help but stutter, and his voice even slowly lowered.
Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan, who heard what he said, suddenly realized: "Oh~ So your uncle is still a college student, then explain it clearly."
Both of them subconsciously did not mention the second half of Yuan Mingxu's words. After all, it was okay to make a joke about friends once or twice, but too much would inevitably make people angry. They glanced at Lin Yimu who was arranging books, and saw that he did not look angry, so they felt relieved.
Yuan Mingxu also knew that this kind of thing was not something to joke about, so he did not continue the topic. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said, "You didn't ask."
