Later, a legend spread about Yongchuan University.
It is said that a junior high school student had an argument with a professor at an academic conference, and when he finally left the stage, he won applause from the audience.
In the subsequent academic debate, the professor was embarrassed as the other team pointed out many problems in his research report.
Lin Chaoxi also recalled that when Pei was in college, he was very popular among teachers and principals.
Now it seems that this may be related to the "out-of-character" incident when he went on stage in junior high school.
Professor Liu is right. Teachers and schools like to recruit smart students. But behind the intelligence, deep down, people may prefer honest and kind people.
The above content is purely her imagination.
She is now in the heavy cheese world, and cannot guess what happened in the strawberry world. If she has the chance to return to the strawberry world, then she... won't be able to talk to Pei Zhi.
But she still understood Pei Zhi better than many people, and was clear about his family background. It was remarkable that Pei Zhi could speak so honestly on stage.
What Pei Zhi said actually led to more discussions later.
The government promotes "quality education" and "reducing burdens" and emphasizes giving children a happy childhood. However, behind the scenes, the path to social advancement is cut off during these ten years of happiness.
Later, many people realized this, but unfortunately, most families who were aware of this were unable to do anything about it.
Because Pei Zhi deliberately kept a low profile in the competition class, many people did not know how high his IQ was. And what he said on stage protected most ordinary families and ordinary students, so many people in the training team felt that Pei Zhi might be poor, but he was a very hard-working person and everyone should take good care of him.
Lin Chaoxi didn't know how Pei Zhi's personality was distorted like this. After that, she saw high school seniors bringing lunch boxes to Pei Zhi more than once.
There was also a student's parent who lived in Yongchuan, A Guang's mother. Seeing that Pei Zhi was still wearing a sweater all day in the middle of winter, she brought A Guang's father's old down jacket for Pei Zhi to wear.
Lin Chaoxi held the disposable chopsticks and looked at Pei, who bowed politely to express his gratitude. Both Lin Chaoxi and Lu Zhihao were feeling very uncomfortable.
But the next day, Pei Zhi changed out of his sweater, put on the old down jacket that A Guang's mother gave him, and sat in the classroom.
Lin Chaoxi was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, and couldn't help but think of a conversation that people later had with a Japanese girl, so he went over to ask.
"Brother Pei, is the down jacket warm?"
"warm."
"Didn't you feel cold wearing a sweater before?"
"cold."
"Then why are you still wearing it?"
"Don't have too high expectations on boys' ability to take care of themselves." Pei Zhi said.
Pei Zhi was basking in the sun. Although the cuffs of the down jacket he was wearing were white, they looked plump and very warm.
Lin Chaoxi shrank back to his seat dejectedly. Thinking about it, it made sense. Boys, after all, had no idea about the weather or what to wear, so they usually just listened to their mother's instructions.
But Pei Zhi's mother...
That lady, who is like a fashion queen, probably really forgot to tell her son to change into a warmer coat when the season changes.
This is a problem that every family has its own problems.
The most difficult sutra in her family must be Comrade Lao Lin.
The training is about to end and the Spring Festival is coming soon, so she will be even busier.
On the one hand, she had to study the questions in class, and on the other hand, she had to read the list of books that Lao Lin gave her, and officially start studying university mathematics.
She had done a lot of preparation for this step, spending almost half a year, but she was still a little nervous because of the pressure of Lao Lin's future car accident.
People are always nervous about the unknown.
Experts would say that only 5% of people are suitable for learning Mathematical Olympiad, although the source of this data may be unfounded. She also asked Pei Zhi how likely he was to win money if he played enough poker games, and Pei Zhi said it was 99.5%.
People always prefer probability, as if things that can be expressed in numbers are more precise and convincing.
What if people's innate differences are called different talents?
To what extent can a person catch up with those with extraordinary talents through acquired efforts? This is the question she has always wanted to figure out.
"Even if I am stuck in a dead end, I hope that the God of Mathematics can give me all the answers."
Lin Chaoxi checked out "Calculus", "Linear Algebra" and "Probability Theory" from the library, put them in his schoolbag, and made a sincere wish before taking them home to study.
——
The twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, Anning Bus Station.
During the Spring Festival travel rush, there is a huge flow of people, buses are lined up in long queues, and exhaust fumes rise into the sky.
Lin Chaoxi got off the bus and zipped up her down jacket. Through the mist created by people's breathing, she found Lao Lin in an instant.
She didn't feel it before leaving, but the moment she saw Lao Lin, her nose felt a little sore.
She couldn't see Lao Lin's face clearly. She only knew that Lao Lin was standing far outside the passenger exit, leisurely pushing his bicycle with his left hand and eating a cake in his right hand.
Huajuan stood beside Lao Lin, trying hard to restrain himself from looking at the cake in the master's hand, but he still swallowed his saliva secretly.
While waiting for her to carry me and follow the crowd to walk in front of Lao Lin, the accumulated longing turned into the smell of chive pancakes in the air, and I just felt hungry.
"Dad." Lin Chaoxi shouted.
"Yeah." Lao Lin had just finished taking the last bite of his biscuit, clapped his hands and threw the plastic bag into the bicycle basket.
"Why are you so cold?"
"It's not indifference, it's just cold. It's minus 3 degrees Celsius today, and your old father waited for you in the snow for an hour."
"You can't blame me. There was a traffic jam on the highway."
Lu Zhihao and Chen Chengcheng dragged their suitcases and finally squeezed out after a while. Zhang Liang walked at the end.
Hua Juan looked back and asked, "Where's Pei Zhi?"
"He left on a plane." said Chen Chengcheng.
"Their family doesn't celebrate the New Year in the country," Lu Zhihao added.
"You're not coming back, are you?" Huajuan looked at her meaningfully.
Lin Chaoxi threw his schoolbag onto the back seat of Lao Lin's car and hissed, "I don't know either."
They parted at the gate of Sanwei University this morning, and it was then that everyone realized that Pei Zhi would not go back to Anning with them.
He took a taxi directly to the airport and just said "goodbye" before leaving without any other promises.
Originally, I just went home to celebrate the New Year, what guarantees do I need?
Lin Chaoxi was a little absent-minded, and Old Lin helped her to hold her schoolbag, but almost failed to hold it steady.
"You emptied the library?" Old Lin was shocked.
"Dad, your sentence is a bit exaggerated."
"Borrowing so many books...will you be able to finish your winter vacation homework in time?"
Lin Chaoxi was about to say that it was you who asked her to borrow it, but she was choked by the second half of Old Lin's words.
Lao Lin's level of criticism was always high, but because of the four "winter vacation homeworks", they were suddenly shrouded in sorrow.
"no."
“Not a single question has been touched.”
"There is also a thick book"
"Are there any homework projects you can do for me?" Lin Chaoxi asked, looking up at the sky.
Originally, she was planning to go home to take a short break (play for a day), chat with Lao Lin about Sanwei University and Yongchuan University, find out some gossip related to the Mathematical Olympiad, and then return to her intense and exciting study life.
Now back at the courtyard at No. 228 Zhuanzhu Lane, she had no thoughts at all. She put down her luggage and ran directly to the desk to sit down.
It’s the last holiday before the high school entrance examination, and the winter vacation homework is more than a foot high.
She sorted all her homework, made a simple plan, and started to tackle them one by one.
The scary thing about the sprint homework for the high school entrance exam is not the quality, but the quantity. She wrote furiously, immersed in it, and when she looked up again, the moon was already high in the sky.
Lao Lin knocked on her door and leaned against the door frame.
He held the dark red liquid in his left hand and answered a call with his right hand. The moon was hanging behind him, giving him a "drunk alone" demeanor.
"Wine or Coca-Cola?" Lin Chaoxi turned around and asked.
"Coca-Cola," Lao Lin answered, and then said to the person on the phone, "Okay, I'm hanging up now."
Looking at Lao Lin's expression, Lin Zhaoxi's heart skipped a beat and he mouthed, "Who is it?"
Lao Lin came over with the phone in his hand and handed it to her.
The caller ID showed a strange string of numbers, and Lin Chaoxi tentatively said "Hello" into the microphone.
"It's me."
Pei Zhi's voice was filled with fatigue after the long flight.
“You’re here!”
"Yeah, safe."
"That's good." Lin Chaoxi continued subconsciously, but when she got to this point, she suddenly didn't know what to say next.
Pei Zhi didn't say anything either. Lin Chaoxi could only hear his breathing. The air was extremely quiet.
The silence lasted for a long time. Pei Zhi did not hang up the phone. Lin Chaoxi inexplicably felt that his ear was burning as he pressed against the phone.
Lao Lin had almost finished a whole cup of Coke and felt like he was about to make a sarcastic remark.
Lin Chaoxi hurriedly said to Pei Zhi: "You must remember to do your winter vacation homework. There is a lot. I have been working on it for five hours and I haven't finished the math homework yet."
"Okay, I will." Pei Zhi said.
"Okay, he will call tomorrow to wish us a happy new year. Why are you so reluctant to leave?" Lao Lin's voice rang out.
"Happy Chinese New Year, goodbye." Lin Chaoxi said.
"goodbye."
The call was hung up, and under the dim light, Lin Chaoxi was stunned.
When Pei Zhi said “I will”, did he mean that he would do his winter vacation homework? Was he also saying that he would come back?
Otherwise, it would be a pity to not report for the new semester and still have to do so much winter vacation homework.
Lin Zhaoxi thought with some happiness.
