Chapter 35 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
I don't spoil him at all. We grew up together since we were little. I know what he's going to fart as soon as he sticks his butt out.
He wants to know how she did on the exam, but he doesn't know either, so how can he tell her?
This brings us to their way of getting along. Although Lin Wei would ask some questions, the boundaries between them were still very clear, and she would not reveal any important information.
But Qin Boyuan wasn't stupid; he wouldn't even realize he was being used as a tool. However, he was willing to be this tool only because he could extract emotional value from her.
First, seeing that she can quickly understand and apply what you've taught her is very rewarding. Second, she doesn't take your teaching for granted; she either treats you to milk tea or showers you with compliments. Sometimes, after a long day of work or study, having someone there to comfort you is a nice feeling.
However, she has disappeared for a while now. Thinking of this, he frowned. After Qin Siyu left, he took out his phone and glanced at her grayed-out profile picture on the website backend, wondering what she was busy with again.
The chat box contained a message she sent half a month ago saying she had found a way to learn math. Most of the problems were sent to her by him, and he had to admit, the answers were quite satisfactory.
But Qin Boyuan couldn't help but think more deeply. Had she disappeared during this period to attend a winter camp or training camp? After all, the timing was quite coincidental.
Lin Wei was unaware that some of her identities had already been exposed, and she genuinely didn't have time to go online to check those messages. In ten days, she had to study three subjects, and her competitors were all outstanding talents from all over the country, making it difficult for her to make things easy.
To be honest, in biology alone, Chi Boyan is far superior to her. In physics, she has never beaten Zhang Mo. And in mathematics, Fang Yihuai has already published quite a few Sci papers. Judging from this, it seems that she doesn't have any particular advantage in any subject and can completely crush them.
Good heavens, I hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, I don't seem to be anything special. Lin Wei suddenly had the urge to publish in SCI journals again, but unfortunately, she knew nothing about it. The paper format, the topic she had to write about, all of these were unfamiliar to her.
So after thinking about it, she decided to let it go and just get through this training camp first. No, not just get through it, but do her best to make sure that all her previous efforts were worthwhile.
So, when Lin Wei was in a better mood, she would attend those three classes; when she was in a bad mood, she wouldn't attend any of them. The teachers didn't share information with each other, so no one noticed that she was skipping classes.
As a result, Ji Liu could never catch her. She would arrive at the exact time every morning and leave at the exact time every day, so he couldn't catch her even if he wanted to.
He finally caught her that day and was a little angry. He just couldn't understand what was so good about the other two subjects. She would rather attend those two subjects than attend math class. What was wrong with math compared to them? Was it too easy?
Ji Liu thought this way and questioned it aloud, his tone somewhat unconvinced.
Lin Wei was bewildered by his matter-of-fact question. Who was he? Why was he speaking to her in that tone? She stood there stunned for two seconds, and after realizing what he was talking about, her eyes became somewhat subtle.
It's not that she looks down on math, but has she considered that when she wasn't in math class, she didn't attend the other two classes either? After all, she has the system space as a cheat code, so learning on her own is obviously more efficient.
But she couldn't say that out loud, so she looked at him strangely and asked, "What's it to you?" What did it matter to him whether she studied math or not? Why was he looking at her like she was a heartbreaker? Although, in fact, the one who was betrayed wasn't a person, but math.
Upon hearing this, Ji Liu looked at her in disbelief. "How come it's all over me? You even snatched this winter camp spot from me." If it weren't for her, why would he have had to work so hard to participate in the preliminaries and overcome all obstacles to get to where he is now? Without her, he could have had a much easier life.
Lin Wei: "??" She earned her winter camp spot through her own abilities, how could this be considered stealing? She was silent for a moment before saying, "Professor Liang gave me the winter camp spot. If you have any objections, go talk to him yourself." Since Professor Liang gave her the spot, it means he had his own considerations. Why would he come to her?
Does that mean that now that she's got a spot in winter camp, she's going to spend all her time on math and not take the other two subjects?
Ji Liu knew that this made sense, but he was still unconvinced. "In terms of scores, I'm no worse than you. In all this time, when have I not gotten a perfect score? So I want to challenge you. Do you dare to accept?" The test questions given by the teacher could not test their true level, nor could they determine their victory or defeat, so he wanted a more difficult test to prove that he was better than her.
In reality, he didn't care who got the winter camp spot; what he cared about was that the spot went to someone far less capable than himself.
Given Lin Wei's abilities back then, if someone else had gotten a perfect score, she certainly wouldn't have been qualified. But now, who says people can't grow? Her ability to enter the training team through the winter camp proves this point. Professor Liang didn't choose the wrong person.
However, Ji Liu was blinded by his competitive spirit and failed to think of these things, or perhaps he did think of them but did not want to admit it.
Seeing that his words had drawn an even larger crowd around her, Lin Wei took a deep breath and finally agreed, "Okay, I agree, but what if I win? What if I lose? There has to be a wager, right?" Otherwise, who would play house with him?
Ji Liu: "Name your bet." He only wanted to prove himself; he never even considered losing.
This piqued Lin Wei's interest. "Let's bet on whoever loses and pays for the other's training camp." Six hundred yuan wasn't much. She didn't believe someone who could say the winter camp spot should have originally belonged to him didn't have powerful connections.
Upon hearing this, Ji Liu nodded in agreement without hesitation, "Okay." He could afford six hundred yuan.
Lin Wei: "When will we have the competition?"
Ji Liu: "Two days later, I will ask Professor Liang Yanghua to prepare a test paper for us. I hope you can do your best then."
Hearing the answer, Lin Wei nodded, "Okay." She didn't intend to stay any longer and turned to leave. However, after taking a few steps, she remembered something and quickly turned back to ask, "By the way, what's your name?"
They'd been talking for so long, and she still didn't even know his name.
Ji Liu's face was rather sour, even more so than when he had stopped her earlier. However, he still gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Ji Liu, the character 'Ji' with the 'silk' radical, and 'Liu' as in 'to leave behind'."
It was at this moment that Lin Wei realized what Fang Yihuai meant when he asked her if she knew someone named Ji Liu. Sure enough, when bad luck strikes, even sitting at home, misfortune can strike unexpectedly.
However, the thought that someone else had helped pay for her registration fee for this training camp made her happy again.
Great, I've saved some money again.
Not long after, Fang Yihuai and Zhang Mo heard that she had made a bet with someone, but the focus was not on that, but on where she was going to take classes.
"Has she been attending your physics class these past few days?"
Zhang Mo thought for a moment, "I've only seen her twice in class."
What a coincidence! Fang Yihuai had only seen her twice in math class, so she must have gone to biology class? At this point, the two of them couldn't help but wonder if she had missed all three classes, but in the end, they didn't dare to think about it.
Otherwise, she's incredibly daring, skipping three classes—I wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
When Gao Fuya heard about this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Why was it that wherever she was, it was always more lively than other places?
She was a popular figure at school, and she was also restless in the training camp.
However, upon seeing Lin Wei, she still told her the information she had gathered: "I asked some people, and the Ji family does indeed have some connections. No wonder they were able to get Professor Liang Yanghua to give them the questions."
Lin Wei wasn't surprised. "I guessed that, but whether he has connections or not has nothing to do with this competition." Even if he did have connections, he still didn't get Professor Liang's guaranteed spot, right? So she wasn't worried about any shady dealings in this exam. If there really were shady dealings, he wouldn't have missed out on that spot in the first place.
To be honest, she was actually more looking forward to what questions Professor Liang would ask than the 600 yuan; those questions would surely be more difficult and challenging.
Fang Fuya was amazed by her optimism upon hearing her words, but still reminded her, "Ji Liu is quite strong, so don't underestimate her." She was afraid that she might be caught off guard and lose her way. Although the bet was only six hundred yuan, it carried a different meaning.
Lin Wei: "I know, but I won't lose." Her eyes were full of sharpness.
She can now say this with great confidence. She knows when to be cautious and when to be confident, and she has a clear understanding of the principle of "a wise man knows when to yield."
That confidence instantly lifted Gao Fuya's spirits, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up. Perhaps she would win again this time.
This matter was so significant that even Chi Boyan, who didn't care about this training camp, heard about it. There was one thing he had to admit: he was indeed outstanding in the field of biology, but in mathematics, he wasn't particularly proficient.
So he also wanted to know who won and who lost between them.
Even the teachers of the three subjects knew about this, so Ji Liu's initial intention of just wanting to compete with her to see who was better ultimately lost some of its meaning.
Winning is certainly amazing, but losing is another story.
This made him nervous on the eve of the competition, and his palms started to sweat. But Lin Wei had been through so much, so this little bit of pressure was nothing to him.
Several teachers couldn't help but nod in agreement after seeing this. "I probably didn't understand why Professor Liang chose her at first, but now I do." Although their grades were similar, Lin Wei's mental resilience was clearly much stronger than Ji Liu's, and sometimes the ability to withstand pressure is the key to winning or losing.
Regardless of who wins this match, she won't lose. But if Ji Liu loses, will he be able to persevere in this training camp?
No one knows this.
Finally, the competition began. Professor Liang learned about it, and as the one who set the questions, how could he not join in the fun? Especially since it involved his old friend's son and the winter camp participants he had personally selected.
