Being scolded
The next day.
Jiang Zhizhi came out of the community and went to a nearby pharmacy to buy a box of ibuprofen.
In her previous life, she always took ibuprofen to relieve the pain every time she had her period. Although it was still very uncomfortable, it was much better than not taking it at all.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt her lower abdomen was bloated. Based on this condition, the morning must be the worst time.
While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, Jiang Zhizhi took one.
At 7:30, she gathered with everyone at the school playground.
Lin Qingyu noticed that Jiang Zhizhi looked unwell and asked worriedly, "Zhizhi, are you sick?"
"No, I had my period yesterday."
"Ah? That's unlucky for you. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling unwell? Will it affect your exam?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled at her and said, "It should be fine."
Yao Jiaqi, who was standing by, felt a little gloating when she heard the conversation between Jiang Zhizhi and Lin Qingyu. If Jiang Zhizhi didn't perform well, she would have a chance.
"If you feel unwell, you must tell your teacher in advance. Your health is more important." Lin Qingyu reminded her.
"Yeah, I know."
At eight o'clock, all the students participating in the league boarded the school bus under the leadership of Teacher Zhou Qin and set off on time.
Jiang Zhizhi was already a little carsick, and with her period on, she felt very uncomfortable as soon as she got in the car.
Maybe the medicine hadn't taken effect yet, she felt cramps in her stomach.
At 8:20, the school bus arrived at the gate of Nanjing University.
Xu Qingbo was wearing a long white sweater and standing there waiting for them with his schoolbag slung over one shoulder. He looked refreshed and not as gloomy as he had been yesterday.
Seeing Xu Qingbo return to his usual self, Lin Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she got out of the car, she greeted Xu Qingbo, "Xu Qingbo, here."
Xu Qingbo came over to rejoin the team. As soon as he came over, he also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Zhizhi. "Jiang Zhizhi, are you sweating?"
"Zhizhi, are you really okay?" Lin Qingyu grabbed Jiang Zhizhi's hand, but was shocked.
So cool.
Jiang Zhizhi also felt strange. It had been more than an hour now, and the ibuprofen should have taken effect long ago. Why was her stomach still hurting so much?
Not only did she have a stomachache, she also felt nauseous and had a dizzy head.
Is it because of motion sickness?
"Is there any hot water? Maybe a cup of hot water would be helpful." Jiang Zhizhi said.
Xu Qingbo glanced at his watch and said, "My home is in the family building inside. It will only take five minutes to get there. We still have time. Why don't you come to my house to drink some hot water and take a rest?"
The exam doesn't start until 9:30, and I entered the exam room at 9:00. It's now 8:30, so there is still an hour left.
"Okay, then I'll talk to the teacher." Lin Qingyu hurriedly ran to find the teacher in charge.
Zhou Qin didn't care after knowing this and told them to go and come back early.
Although these first-grade students are good at studying, this joint examination mainly focuses on the second and third-year junior high school students.
The residential buildings for family members of Nanjing University have a long history and look a bit shabby.
Xu Qingbo's home is on the second floor. It is very spacious, about 140 to 150 square meters. It is decorated in classic Chinese mahogany style and the house is kept very clean.
There was no TV in the living room. Instead, there was a wall of bookshelves, piled high with unevenly stacked books and folders, making it look a bit crowded.
Every book in it seems to have been read many times, unlike the bookshelf walls in some people's homes, which are just for decoration.
Xu Qingbo asked Jiang Zhizhi and Lin Qingyu to sit in the living room. He went to the kitchen and poured two cups of hot water and brought them over.
After drinking the hot water, Jiang Zhizhi felt better and her stomach didn't hurt as much anymore.
After resting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, they prepared to go to the examination room.
Xu Qingbo took out a thermos cup and filled it with hot water for Jiang Zhizhi. "If you feel uncomfortable during the exam, drink some more."
"Thank you." Jiang Zhizhi said gratefully.
It was exactly nine o'clock when I returned to the teaching building where the examination room was located from the family building.
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the students who came in to take the exam. Some of them looked like junior high school students, but some looked much older than them.
Are you a college student in class?
But it seems that this teaching building is specially set aside as an examination room?
Lin Qingyu saw Jiang Zhizhi's confusion and said, "Those are high school students taking the Gaolian exam."
"Gaolian?"
"In fact, the Mathematics League was originally only held in high schools. It was abbreviated as Gaolian. It was considered a qualifying competition for the Mathematical Olympiad, right? Later on, the Junior High School Mathematics League gradually emerged. The Gaolian is much more important than the Junior High School Mathematics League. The first place winner can be directly admitted to Kyoto University or Mizuki University. Compared to the Gaolian, the Junior High School Mathematics League is just a small preliminary competition." Lin Qingyu looked at the high school students participating in the Gaolian with some longing in his eyes.
The students who participate in the high school mathematics league are almost all top students from various high schools, and most of them will be able to enter key national universities in the future.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't even go to high school in her previous life, so she knew nothing about these things.
Lin Qingyu said, "Zhizhi, as long as you can keep up your current grades, you will definitely be admitted directly in the future. The same goes for Xu Qingbo."
Jiang Zhizhi felt fascinated by what Lin Qingyu said.
"Jiang Zhizhi, do you have a university in mind that you want to apply to?" Xu Qingbo suddenly asked from the side.
Which university do you want to apply to?
"I have no idea."
She knew nothing about universities in China. The only ones she knew were Kyoto University, Mizuki University and Nanjing University.
"Xu Qingbo, have you decided which university you want to apply to?" Lin Qingyu asked curiously.
Xu Qingbo nodded and said, "Yes, I want to apply to Shuimu University."
"Oh yes, your father is a PhD from Shuimu University, right?" Lin Qingyu said.
"No, my uncle is. My father is from Middlebury University."
Jiang Zhizhi blinked and asked blankly, "Mingde University?"
"Zhizhi, you don't even know Mingde University? It's the top university in Shanghai, even better than Shanghai University. Like Beijing University and Mizuki University, it's one of the top universities in the country."
"Oh." Jiang Zhizhi smiled embarrassedly, "I haven't understood it yet."
"However, Mingde University is still a little bit behind Kyoto University and Mizuki University," said Xu Qingbo.
As they talked, they walked to the examination room.
The examination rooms were shuffled and the three people were not in the same examination room.
"Zhizhi, are you feeling better now?" Before entering the examination room, Lin Qingyu couldn't help but ask Jiang Zhizhi with concern.
"It's okay, it should be fine."
"That's good. After the exam, let's meet at the gate."
The three people separated and went to their own examination rooms.
Before entering the examination room, Jiang Zhizhi put her schoolbag on the flower stand outside, but her stomach started to ache again and her limbs felt weak.
She felt a little dry.
Strange? Could it be a fever?
Jiang Zhizhi touched her forehead. Although she couldn't feel anything, this familiar feeling was very much like a fever.
But the morning exam is only an hour and a half, so it should be fine, right?
She should be able to pull through.
What bad luck! She has full debuffs today.
Jiang Zhizhi reluctantly picked up the water cup and the pencil case containing the pen for her admission ticket and entered the examination room.
The test papers will be distributed on time at 9:25.
Although Jiang Zhizhi felt uncomfortable, her thinking was still clear. She checked the test paper and found a total of 8 fill-in-the-blank questions and 3 long questions.
The 8 fill-in-the-blank questions are roughly 4 basic questions plus 4 advanced questions, and the big questions are 1 basic question and 2 advanced questions.
Jiang Zhizhi took advantage of her clear thinking and did the 5 basic questions first, and then began to focus on the remaining 6 questions.
It was half past ten, half an hour before the exam. Jiang Zhizhi's forehead was already covered in sweat, and her hand holding the pen was shaking slightly as she calculated.
Suddenly, a feeling of nausea came over me.
Jiang Zhizhi put down her pen and rushed out in a hurry without even having time to write a report.
"Hey? Classmate, what's wrong with you..."
The invigilator chased him to the door, but he couldn't leave the other students taking the exam alone, so he had to turn back.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't have time to run to the bathroom and vomited in the flower bed not far from the examination room.
She hadn't eaten much in the morning, and she vomited sour water in the end, and her head was dizzy.
No, it's definitely not because of my period.
Even if she was slow, she still reacted.
My chest is so hot.
Is it because of fever?
But it was fine when I left home in the morning.
She thought about it and returned to the examination room.
"I'm sorry, classmate. If you leave the examination room during the exam, you won't be able to continue answering questions." The invigilator stopped her.
No one can guarantee whether she asked for help to solve the questions during the time she was away from the examination room.
If she were allowed to come back and continue doing the test, it would not be fair to the other candidates.
Jiang Zhizhi understood, and she said politely, "Teacher, I'll hand in my paper early. I'll go in and get my things."
After entering the examination room, Jiang Zhizhi handed in the test answer sheet and draft paper, took her things and left.
She opened the thermos, took a sip of water, felt a little better, and left the teaching building.
"Jiang Zhizhi? You finished the questions so quickly?" The team leader Zhou Qin saw Jiang Zhizhi coming out and walked over in surprise.
"No, I feel a little unwell. Let's go to the hospital."
"You don't feel well? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Can I go with you?"
"No need, teacher. I can do it myself."
"Then don't forget to come back this afternoon. There's a second test at 2 pm."
There are two examinations in total, one in the morning and the second in the afternoon.
There are more basic questions in the first test, and only three big questions.
The second test is a complete competition test and the score is higher than the first test.
"Got it. I'll be back before the exam."
Jiang Zhizhi finished all eight fill-in-the-blank questions in the first test, but only did one and a half of the three basic questions.
The last two questions are worth 40 points each.
I wonder how many points I can get for writing half of the solution steps?
At least be prepared to lose 40 points.
While thinking, Jiang Zhizhi took the bus to the nearest hospital and went to the emergency room.
"What did you eat today?" the doctor asked.
"I had a bun this morning, nothing else."
Because she had her period, she had no appetite at all.
"Oh yeah, I took an ibuprofen."
"Ibuprofen?"
"Because I had my period today, I was afraid of having dysmenorrhea, so I took ibuprofen to relieve the pain," Jiang Zhizhi explained.
The doctor's expression was a little serious. "Do you take ibuprofen every time you have your period?"
Jiang Zhizhi hesitated and said, "I've eaten it before and it was fine."
"Let me see the medicine." said the doctor.
Jiang Zhizhi took out the ibuprofen from her bag and handed it to the doctor.
The doctor checked the medicine plate and suddenly thought of something. He turned the medicine box over and sighed helplessly, "Little sister, the medicine you are taking has expired."
"Expired? But I just bought it today."
"Take a look for yourself!" The doctor returned the medicine box to Jiang Zhizhi, his tone becoming stern. "Even if it's not expired, you can't take this medicine casually. Dysmenorrhea can be managed through diet and sleep habits. How can you take medicine at such a young age? Taking medicine not only has side effects, but can also cause dependence and resistance. Do you understand?"
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned by the scolding and could only keep her head down. "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
How could she have imagined that the medicine she just bought today would expire? That damn pharmacy actually sold expired medicine!
The doctor wrote her a prescription and said unhappily, "Go get your medicine. I'll give you an IV."
