After the meal, Lao Lin shamelessly slipped away in order to avoid paying the bill.
After paying the bill, Lin Chaoxi opened his umbrella and stepped into the rain curtain.
The rain at this time was much lighter than when they left the hospital. The raindrops fluttered on the umbrella like fluff, and everything was green.
She walked on the road, cars and pedestrians came and went, creating splashes of water on the roadside. The atmosphere was the perfect balance between noise and tranquility, giving people a great sense of peace.
She asked Lao Lin that just now because she was very panicked. But now that she has calmed down, it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of.
She is 22 years old, studying philosophy, and is determined to become a glorious people's teacher.
As a teacher, I have a lot of holidays, so I can take good care of Lao Lin. And my family is not short of money, so Lao Lin can live in the best nursing home. So even if Lao Lin gets sick, it won't have much impact.
At most, it will affect the background description when others introduce her to blind dates in the future.
Amount...
Thinking of this, Lin Chaoxi's cell phone rang.
She gritted her teeth and quickly picked up the phone.
"Chaoxi, Xiao Liu seemed very pleased with you yesterday."
The person on the other end of the phone was the academic director of her internship school, a leader who was very enthusiastic about introducing interns to potential partners.
Just last night, she attended a blind date organized by the director and met a bank employee. She chatted with him alone in a coffee shop for a while, and then he took her home.
In the morning, the boy sent her a WeChat message to say hello, but she was in a hurry to go to the hospital with Lao Lin and had no time to reply. Therefore, before answering the director's call, she felt that she was going to be criticized. But the director not only did not educate her ideologically, but was very happy.
But "very satisfied with you" sounds a lot like the chosen concubine. Lin Zhaoxi was a little embarrassed: "Is... is it?"
"Xiao Liu's mother called me happily and said that she had asked Zhiyuan from her family and that he had feelings for you, so you should seize the moment..."
She held the handrail and recalled what her blind date looked like.
In my memory, he was a very normal boy, a little bit proud. He talked about his parents' work, and said that his parents liked children and wanted to have a second child. He also hinted that his mother knew the principal of the best junior high school in the city, and it would only take a word for her to go to work.
Outside the window is a city washed by rain, the streets are hazy, and in my ears I can hear the director's teachings.
"Girls, take the initiative. It's okay. You have to seize the opportunity! Her family is so well-off. Both her parents are directors..."
Lin Chaoxi had no way of responding to this and could only remain silent.
The bus stop announcement sounded.
The director asked: "Where are you and why are you making so much noise?"
"In the car. I have to go back to school today."
The director has caught the key word again.
"College student! Even though you are young now, women age quickly. It's hard to find a partner when you are 27 or 28..."
As Lin Zhaoxi listened, she suddenly had a glimpse of her future life. She would have a stable teaching job, marry a man from a better family than hers, he would take care of her father together with her, and she would bear children for him...
But at that moment, she felt panic because of this reality.
"When you have a child, if you don't want to work, I think people will be willing to support you. Don't live too comfortably..."
Just like that, she was distracted and the topic actually turned to having children. Lin Chaoxi shuddered and she quickly interrupted him.
"I'm sorry, Director. Actually, I'm really embarrassed about something... My father has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, so why don't you tell the other party for me and let this matter go."
The phone went silent.
Lin Chaoxi didn't say anything either.
After a long while, the director finally spoke.
"In your case, I'll help you tell the other party, but it depends on whether the man's family wants you or not."
“…”
"After school is over, send the boy a text message to apologize!"
After giving the instructions, the director hung up the phone.
Lin Chaoxi didn't feel any humiliation or anger. She just suddenly realized that a certain trajectory also meant that her life no longer had infinite possibilities.
…
It only takes a short while to worry.
When he got off the bus, Lin Chaoxi had almost forgotten about the phone call.
She returned to school today to prepare for the joint intelligence competition among colleges and universities in the university city. The president of the Student Union, Su Xiaoming, called and asked her to attend as an auditor.
After returning to school, she went directly to the second floor of the University Life Center, where the student union had a meeting room.
There was a noisy conversation in the meeting room. Lin Zhaoxi looked at her watch and saw that there were still five minutes left before the meeting started. Without thinking too much, she pushed the door open.
The conference room suddenly fell silent. Dozens of gazes were cast over, and Lin Chaoxi was also stunned.
This has already begun...
"Which school are you from? Could you at least knock on the door?" A smartly dressed girl sitting at the main seat at the conference table said to her directly.
Lin Chaoxi didn't know the other party either, so they must be from other schools attending the meeting. She didn't need to say anything about this matter. She turned around and closed the door of the conference room, and their school's student union chairman Su Xiaoming had already spoken.
"We had a meeting in advance, but he came later. I don't know."
"Sorry, sorry." Lin Chaoxi took the opportunity and ran to sit next to Su Xiaoming.
"Lin Chaoxi, she was the one who came up with the questions for the last quiz contest."
After sitting down, Su Xiaoming pointed at her and introduced her.
Su Xiaoming then introduced the attendees to her. Just as she had guessed, those present were representatives from other schools in the university town.
When talking about the capable girl, Su Xiaoming emphasized: "An Xiaoxiao, the head of the study department of Baicao University Student Union."
Baicao’s, their school’s mortal enemy.
Lin Chaoxi thought about it and nodded to An Xiaoxiao as a greeting.
Because of her introduction, the meeting was suspended for a while, and some people started drinking water. Taking this opportunity, Su Xiaoming came over and asked her in a low voice: "How is your father?"
"Alzheimer's disease." Lin Chaoxi replied.
"What?" Su Xiaoming's eyes widened, and for a moment he was unable to hide his shock.
Lin Chaoxi nodded.
"What should I do?"
"I don't know either." She patted the boy's shoulder, signaling him to focus on the meeting and not think too much.
Su Xiaoming sat up straight immediately, still a little dazed. During this pause, An Xiaoxiao took the lead in the meeting.
"Since everyone has no opinions on the multiple-choice questions, the next thing left is the big questions. Questions 30-60 are the big questions we have drafted. Please help me choose..."
After An Xiaoxiao finished speaking, everyone started flipping through the printed papers in front of them.
Lin Chaoxi arrived late, and Su Xiaoming was already reviewing a document with another clerk. There was an empty table in front of her, which made her feel a little awkward.
Just then, a thin stack of printed paper was pushed over from the side.
Lin Chaoxi turned around and found that it was the girl on her right who quietly pushed her over. The girl had a small face, big eyes, and was wearing a loose school uniform. After being looked at by her for a few times, she was a little shy and avoided her gaze.
Lin Zhaoxi moved closer to the girl, poked the back of her hand, and whispered, "Thank you."
Hey, the girl actually blushed.
…
Lin Chaoxi stopped teasing the cute little girl and started to look at the questions seriously.
But before she could turn two pages, she heard An Xiaoxiao say, "Since Lin Chaoxi from Sanwei University is very experienced, let's start with Lin."
The rustling sound of flipping papers in the conference room stopped at the same time.
She hadn't even had time to finish reading the multiple-choice questions, so she was a little helpless: "Choose 10 questions, right?"
"Yes." An Xiaoxiao said with her arms folded.
"Give me a minute then."
"Is one minute enough?"
Lin Chaoxi looked at the question carefully but did not answer.
Organizing fun quiz competitions is a tradition in their university town. It is simple. Download some fun quiz questions from the Internet, and the university in charge will select some as the question bank. Several schools will get together, discuss, and finally select 20 multiple-choice questions and 10 big questions as the final test questions, and that's it.
But because the competition is held every year, there are fewer and fewer interesting IQ questions to choose from online, so the questions are becoming more and more difficult. Lin Chaoxi has the 100 questions from Baicao University this year. She has to choose 10 questions from easy to difficult as the test questions.
While thinking, she read through all the questions selected by Baicao University, and finally raised her head: "Then let me talk about it first?"
An Xiaoxiao: "You came late, you can watch for a while longer."
"No problem." Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head, ran her fingers over the question numbers, turned the pages and counted them out crisply: "31, 38, 44, 56, 58, 62, 63, 64, 70, 77..." After she finished speaking, she paused and added, "Question 77 is good. It can be used as the main question."
After she finished speaking, the people from Baicao University seemed a little embarrassed.
Before An Xiaoxiao could say anything, another attendee next to her said, "So fast, did you watch it carefully?"
"This." Lin Zhaoxi thought about it and told the truth, "In fact, I have almost screened all the interesting IQ questions that can be found on the Internet last time..."
All of a sudden, everyone started flipping through the papers again.
An Xiaoxiao's face looked even uglier, but if she continued she would be losing her manners, so she pursed her lips and held back.
Soon, someone said, "Senior... you chose a good topic."
“The difficulty is really well controlled.”
"But about question 62..." another person started.
Lin Chaoxi looked down.
Question 62 is a graphic question. It shows a simple robotic arm and asks what the path of another point will be when the robotic arm rotates along a certain path.
As a big question, it does look simple.
Lin Zhaoxi: "This is a Porcellier connecting rod. You can find a similar complex deformation replacement."
There was an ooh-oh-oh in the conference room.
Everyone looked at it for a while, and suddenly someone asked, "Question 77, the most important question?"
"Can this still be considered an IQ test? How do I solve it? Can any science geeks give me some advice?"
"I'm studying chemistry. This question seems simple, but it seems to require a lot of thought to solve."
The person who was speaking held up a piece of draft paper, which was covered with drawings, and he also looked very devastated.
Lin Chaoxi looked at the question again.
The complained-about problem 77 is about the arrangement of black and white chess pieces, asking how many rows there can be at most if there are three pieces in each row.
It looks simple, but it is actually difficult and requires a basic knowledge of mathematics, which is a bit unfair to put in an intelligence competition. But Baicao didn't find a more suitable answer among the 100 questions she found, so she chose this one.
An Xiaoxiao shamelessly blamed him: "This is too much for the mathematics department, right?"
"Sanwei is relying on the overwhelming strength of his school's mathematics department. How shameless he is." Someone pointed the end of a pen in Su Xiaoming's direction and said unhappily.
"So this question still doesn't work." An Xiaoxiao said directly, "Change it. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Lin Chaoxi just sat aside and listened without expressing any opinion.
Not long after, everyone went through the question bank again and felt that there seemed to be no more suitable choice than question 77.
"The other options don't seem to work. Does Lin have any suggestions for replacements?" someone asked her.
Lin Chaoxi said: "I personally think this question is very beautiful and the solution is also clever. It is actually quite appropriate."
"Senior sister is so strong." Someone grabbed the table with his head.
Lin Zhaoxi: "I found out after I looked at the answer."
"So is this question difficult? Does it require complete mathematical knowledge to solve it?"
"I'm a philosophy dog." Lin Chaoxi shook his head honestly, indicating that it was really difficult to say.
There was a lot of chatter among the people sitting there, and more opinions arose.
Suddenly someone suggested: "Why not find someone from the mathematics department to do it?"
"We are in Sanwei, let's go look for Pei Zhi?" someone patted Su Xiaoming on the shoulder and said.
