Chapter 557 Goodbye, Shi Ye
When Shen Ci saw this message, instead of being annoyed, she replied excitedly, "Can I change people? Please tell me the specific process!"
Then I saw the teacher in charge's cold message: "No substitutions. Everyone welcomes Shen Ci back to the team."
The group was silent, and no one came out to welcome her.
Shen Ci was not angry, but a little depressed, because it seemed that he really could not change people.
After a while, a classmate in the group chat asked, "Teacher Zhuang, why don't we find some time today to test the individual performance of the team members? Some of you don't seem to have experience with this kind of competition and need to get used to the question types in advance."
"agree."
"I don't have classes today. Any time is fine, teacher."
"I don't have classes this afternoon."
“…”
The group suddenly became lively. Chen Ci looked at the screen full of messages and couldn't help but feel dazed. She thought everyone was naturally indifferent and didn't like to talk.
It wasn't until the teacher personally tagged her and asked her the time that Shen Ci showed up and replied, "Anytime."
Finally, the teacher unanimously set the time at four o'clock in the afternoon in the lecture hall of the North Laboratory Building.
After spending the whole morning feeling nauseous, Shen Ci ordered a large portion of braised pork in the cafeteria at noon.
“Huh…”
Gu Lianxing looked at the sizzling, shiny braised pork in front of her with a look of disgust: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you wanted to control your weight?"
Chen Ci stuffed a piece of food into her mouth as Gu Lianxing said this: "I think I will have a poor appetite for some time to come, so I will eat more oil and water today."
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Lianxing asked worriedly, "Your period isn't on the right time either. Is it early?"
Chen Ci shook his head and told Lian Xing that he was going to represent the school in the "Physics Olympiad". Lian Xing hated competitions the most, and her face wrinkled into a little bun halfway through.
"That's terrible. Eat more." He took two pieces of beef from his bowl and passed it to the other person.
Pili, who was standing by, said, "I think it's a good thing. It would be very beneficial if we could achieve good results in this kind of Olympiad."
"I really don't need it at all. If it wasn't mandatory, I would never go." Chen Ci enjoyed the food more and more. It turned out that things with rich oils and sauces were delicious. Losing weight should be listed as one of the top ten tortures in modern times.
After eating a few pieces of braised pork, my mood really improved a lot.
She even suspected that her sudden bad mood was because she had not eaten enough oily food recently, and it had nothing to do with the Mathematical Olympiad.
Just as she was enjoying her meal, her cell phone rang at an inopportune time. Shen Ci picked it up and saw that Shi Ye, who had been silent all morning, had sent her a message.
She thought that Shi Ye had given up and disappeared, but he didn't.
"Chen Ci, I'm at the gate of your school. I want to talk to you in person."
Chen Ci looked at the message and thought, "Why not go to bed and talk?", but she became serious in an instant, hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a Starbucks across the street, you go wait for me."
In any case, the two of them have been ambiguous for two months. Although they are still one step away from being together, it is undeniable that Shi Ye is a good guy.
It was indeed a bit too hasty to just tell him with cold words on WeChat.
You should say goodbye properly.
In Starbucks, Shi Ye sat at a seat near the inside, his body upright but his head slightly lowered.
The coffee in front of him remained untouched, which matched his dull and absent-minded gaze, making him look even more dejected.
When Chen Ci saw him from afar, he felt that this usually sunny and cheerful boy seemed to have lost his vitality and was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Sighing silently, Chen Ci deliberately put on a smile and walked over, then sat down opposite Shi Ye in a natural manner: "Hello."
Her relaxed look made Shi Ye a little stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
Chen Ci just looked at him with a smile. After a while, Shi Ye slowly and nervously said, "Ah Ci, last night I..."
"I know." Seeing that he was about to give another lengthy explanation, Shen Ci immediately interrupted him. Because the ending was already decided, it was no longer meaningful to say any of this. So she said decisively, "But the objective fact is that your mother doesn't agree with you being with me, and you are indeed preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination."
"It's okay, I can handle this."
"That's not the problem." Chen Ci shook his head gently: "To be precise, it's not your problem, it's my problem. I don't want to move forward."
Shi Ye was slightly stunned: "I, I thought you liked me."
"I like you." Chen Ci admitted immediately, but then added: "But my love has its limits. I can only like you and can't do more for you. For example, I have to deal with your mother's strong interference, or even take the blame for your failure to pass the graduate school entrance examination in the future. This is too heavy, and it's not what I want."
Shi Ye was speechless. What Shen Ci said was very realistic, but she expressed it so bluntly without a trace of euphemism.
"Don't be upset. Your mother's approach may have been a bit strong and extreme, but she's right. People should make the right decisions at every stage of their lives. We're not each other's decision, so there's no need to be so reluctant to part."
After saying this, Shen Ci slowly stood up and smiled at Shi Ye: "Goodbye, Shi Ye."
Shi Ye looked at Chen Ci's leaving back, and his heart suddenly felt empty, and then it was blocked by a trace of emotion, making him breathless.
But she is so cool.
In the afternoon, in the No. 3 lecture hall of the experimental building, members of several other school teams arrived one after another before four o'clock.
There are three men and one woman, and there is obviously a core figure among them, that is Wang Yikun, the vice president of the USTC Student Union and a top student in the Department of Mathematics. He has achieved excellent results in various domestic and international mathematical Olympiads since high school.
He was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China before the college entrance examination and was a prominent figure in the school.
So at this time, the others took the initiative to come over to learn from him. After all, Wang Yikun had rich experience in competitions and was also the vice president of the student union. The others would subconsciously cling to the strong.
Wang Yikun is not modest at all. As a child who grew up surrounded by various awards and praises, he naturally has pride.
He also spoke freely in response to everyone's questions and doubts.
From the scale, type, scoring differences, competition mode to the decomposition of question types and other details of the competition, the teacher's work was taken care of directly.
The others listened very attentively, showing an expression of having learned something and nodding as they listened.
It was only halfway through his speech that Wang Yikun realized something was wrong. He glanced at the number of people in front of him and asked, "Is there someone missing?"
