Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Exclusive
For the whole morning, Lin Yimu and others reviewed in the room and discussed ideas for solving the problems, while Professor Wan and two observation teachers were handing over the work to the organizing committee.
In the afternoon, while Professor Wan and the two observers were not paying attention, Lin Yimu and his companions ran to the front desk to ask about the nearby pharmacies. Afterwards, Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei were responsible for buying medicinal wine for Professor Wan and his companions on their behalf.
After Lin Yimu and his companion walked out of the hotel, they looked at the route map drawn for them by the receptionist and felt a little confused for a moment.
I had just heard someone explain it very clearly, but now, looking at the busy streets in front of me and seeing unfamiliar words, I didn’t know where to go.
The two stood at the entrance of the hotel and studied the minimalist map in their hands for a while, but in the end they didn't find any useful information. In the end, they could only ask one household after another based on the route they had taken yesterday with the observer teacher.
Finally, the two walked all the way to the city landmark building CASINO (casino) that Lin Yimu had always been curious about. There was a constant stream of people and cars outside the casino, and the luxury cars gathered at the door alone were enough to make people dazzled.
"It really deserves to be called a famous den of money. There are so many luxury cars at the entrance, enough for many people to work for a lifetime. Even I have always boasted that my family is well-off, but when I saw these rows of luxury cars, I couldn't help but be shocked and envious." Huang Minglei sighed as he looked at the luxury cars at the entrance of the casino with sparkling eyes.
It was also the first time in Lin Yimu's life that he had seen such a shocking scene. The luxury cars at the door, the people coming in and out, and the magnificent exterior architecture of the entire casino made people feel very small when standing at the door of the casino.
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a scene in my life." Lin Yimu responded with a sigh, then retracted his gaze and looked around, finally finding a pharmacy not far away, and hurriedly pulled Huang Minglei over.
Huang Minglei was still sighing and observing the luxury cars at the entrance of the casino. Before he could react, Lin Yi Mu pulled him towards the pharmacy next to him. When they arrived at the entrance of the pharmacy and could no longer see the cars, he remembered that they were out to buy medicinal wine. He quickly slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "Oh! I was so shocked by those luxury cars that I forgot we were here to buy medicinal wine." After that, he quickly followed Lin Yi Mu's steps and walked into the pharmacy.
Lin Yimu was walking in front and heard Huang Minglei's words. He said with some annoyance in his tone: "I was also engrossed in watching just now. If I hadn't seen the drugstore sign out of the corner of my eye, I might not have remembered it."
The two of them talked as they came to the counter of the pharmacy, communicating with each other in English to ask what they needed. Finally, Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei returned to the hotel with safflower oil in their hands. At this time, more than an hour had passed since they left.
As soon as the two arrived at the hotel entrance, they wanted to sneak back to the room and secretly put the medicine in the rooms of Professor Wan and the two observation teachers.
As a result, before the two of them could take any action, they were caught by Professor Wan who was waiting for them in the hotel lobby as soon as they took a step forward.
"Lin Yimu, Huang Minglei! What were you two doing secretly?" Professor Wan's old but loud voice came, and then Professor Wan with a gloomy face came in front of the two.
Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei stood stiffly where they were, keeping their steps in place and not daring to turn their heads. When they saw Professor Jiang approaching them with a gloomy look on his face, they smiled bitterly, looked at each other, stood up straight and looked at Professor Wan.
Lin Yimu smiled awkwardly as he looked at Professor Wan who was walking over and said, "Professor, why are you here?"
Professor Wan snorted with a cold face and asked back: "Why do you think I am here?" He glanced at Lin Yimu and the other man with a displeased look.
How could Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei not know the reason why Professor Wan was here? They just had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. However, seeing the professor's expression, they knew they would not be able to escape punishment this time.
"Professor, we just went out to the pharmacy to buy medicinal wine, but it's a pity that they didn't have any, so we can only buy three bottles of safflower oil." Lin Yimu handed the bag of medicine to Professor Wan and explained.
Huang Minglei also nodded eagerly, indicating that what Lin Yimu said was true.
Professor Wan looked at the three bottles of safflower oil in his hand and wondered why they bought them. Did they sneak out to buy them? Didn’t they know how dangerous it was to go out alone in a strange country?
Thinking of this, Professor Wan asked the same question and even criticized the two of them.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei a little embarrassedly, thinking that they couldn't be the only two to be scolded. Since everyone agreed to this method, they should share the difficulties.
Therefore, Lin Yimu explained the whole story without any hesitation, and finally said unconfidently: "This is what happened. We specifically asked the front desk for directions before we left, but we didn't expect it to take so long."
After listening to Lin Yimu's explanation, Professor Wan felt helpless and touched. He knew that these were good kids and he only did this because he cared about them. However, in order to make Lin Yimu and the others realize the consequences of sneaking out without discipline, he punished them ruthlessly: "I know you are all good kids who care about your teachers, but this time you ran out without informing the teacher. This is a serious lack of organization and discipline. Moreover, we are in a foreign country now. What if something unexpected happens when you go out this time? Have you ever thought about what will happen?"
After Professor Wan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yimu and the other man with a serious expression and sharp eyes. The two of them lowered their heads in shame, and realized that their behavior was very inappropriate, especially Lin Yimu. No matter what, his mental age should be older than Huang Minglei and the others, but he forgot to consider the issue of safety. In other words, Lin Yimu did not subconsciously regard himself as a 17-year-old minor.
Now that Professor Wan has pointed out this problem, I felt extremely ashamed for a moment, so I didn't say anything about the punishment given by Professor Wan.
"You guys are still young, so it's normal for you to act without thinking, but that doesn't mean you can be exempted from punishment." Professor Wan looked at Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei who were keeping their heads down and not saying a word, and still spoke out the punishment for the two. "I'll punish you. From now on until tomorrow before the opening ceremony, you can't leave your hotel room except for eating. During this period, you have to do a math test from previous years. If you get all the answers right, then this matter will be over. If there are any mistakes in the questions, then you can only stay in your room and do the questions during the two days of visiting after the exam. How do you think this punishment is?"
Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei looked at each other and found that the other's eyes were full of smiles. Professor Wan's punishment could not be called a punishment for them at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a disguised reward for them to consolidate their knowledge. Therefore, they agreed very readily and happily.
Lin Yimu and his companion followed Professor Wan to his room. Holding the test paper that the professor had gotten at some unknown time, they repeatedly reminded Professor Wan and the two observers to remember to use safflower oil, then they smiled and took the test paper and walked towards Lin Yimu's dormitory.
When Lin Yi Mu returned to his dormitory, he saw the other four people were already waiting in the room. When they saw Lin Yi Mu and Huang Minglei coming back, they quickly surrounded them and asked if they had been scolded by Professor Wan or something like that.
After several people finished asking questions, Lin Yimu raised the test paper in his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, we were scolded by Professor Wan and punished to do the Mathematical Olympiad test paper."
Upon hearing this, Ke Chengyan and the other three noticed the test papers in Lin Yimu's hand. They were all curious about what they were, so they stepped forward and each took one to start reading.
Lin Yimu looked at everyone holding a test paper, the helpless smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a sly smile and said: "The test papers in your hands are Professor Wan's punishment for us, and I think that everyone should share the same difficulties, so I applied for the same punishment for you."
Then, Lin Yimu told everyone about the punishment he and Huang Minglei would receive, and at the end he said, "How do you think this punishment is? It's just what we wanted, and it can also help everyone consolidate the knowledge they learned before."
When the four people in the room heard this, their expressions on the test papers froze for a moment, and then they all felt a little guilty. After all, it was they who told Professor Wan about Lin Yi Mu's whereabouts, so they were a little embarrassed to refute. Moreover, they actually felt that what Lin Yi Mu said seemed to make sense, and the expressions on their faces were a little complicated and difficult to discern for a moment.
But in the end everyone accepted the punishment and huddled together in Lin Yimu's room to do the test papers. When they encountered difficult questions, they would discuss them from time to time.
Until dinner time, Lin Yimu and his friends had only finished two or three questions. However, they also consolidated the knowledge they had learned while doing these questions. Moreover, when discussing with everyone, they also broadened their thinking from other people's problem-solving ideas and even found more novel and convenient problem-solving methods.
Everyone gained a lot in this afternoon. When we went downstairs for dinner, everyone had an excited and unsatisfied expression on their face.
Professor Wan and the two observing teachers were very satisfied when they saw the expressions of Lin Yimu and the others, but they did not ask any more questions and asked everyone to eat dinner quickly.
When Lin Yimu approached the dining table, he smelled the scent of safflower oil and knew that Professor Wan and the others had already used it. He couldn't help but smile.
Then he looked at Professor Wan and the two observing teachers and said, "Professor, teachers, do you feel better now?"
Professor Wan and the two observing teachers couldn't help but smile happily when they heard this. Then Professor Wan thought that Lin Yimu and the others had just been punished for this, and he wanted them to remember this lesson, so he quickly restrained the smile on his face, looked at Lin Yimu seriously and said, "I see that you haven't learned your lesson, and you still care about these things. How did you do on your test paper?"
At this point, Professor Wan felt that his words were a bit too blunt, and he quickly coughed and said, "It's really good. Let's eat quickly." Then he quickly invited everyone to finish their meal.
Although the two observer teachers also thought that what they did was wrong, seeing that Professor Wan had already taught them a lesson, they smiled and praised them without saying anything about the lesson. After all, it was their intention and they couldn't do nothing at all.
Lin Yimu and the others looked at Professor Wan, who suddenly seemed a little arrogant, and suddenly all the nervousness in their hearts disappeared. They even thought he was a little cute, and they became more casual when getting along with him.
After dinner, Lin Yimu and his five companions said goodbye to Professor Wan and his three companions, returned to their room, and immersed themselves in the sea of Olympiad mathematics questions again.
