Wow!
That was the No. 1 team in the country last year!
Lao Wang's heart was seized by a wave of ecstasy; his grinning mouth gradually widened, almost splitting to his ears.
The students of Yude were only busy having fun, and only later did they notice that H Middle School was the top team in the country! They hugged each other in ecstasy and jumped up and down.
Some students immediately picked up the flowers on their seats. Those were the bouquets they had bought before the game and were going to give to the school team.
Regardless of the outcome of the game, we would like to thank the school team for their efforts this month and welcome their return.
But... I never expected that they would stubbornly go even further! This bouquet of flowers that represented an end also became a bouquet of flowers for celebration.
When the host announced the final result of the Rubik's Cube restoration, and when the Rubik's Cube with six solid-colored faces appeared on the screen, every cell in the body of Yude students was stimulated and trembled.
It felt like an electric current was flowing through my scalp, stimulating it to the point of numbness. For the first time in their lives, these poor students felt... the incomparable charm of mathematics.
Mathematics is so beautiful.
Tan Ming looked at the girl who was packing up her draft paper and pens on the stage. The small movement of her supporting her chin and turning the pen seemed to glow. Although she is not in the center of the stage, she is like a beam of light, attracting everyone's attention.
Students from other schools who came to watch the game watched the entire game and found it incredible.
H actually lost?
The judges on the field continued to comment, and one teacher jokingly said: "Restoring a 17-order Rubik's Cube in one hour, can this be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records?"
Another teacher took off his glasses and said, "One of the difficulties of the 17-order Rubik's Cube is that it is too heavy and difficult to solve. This is not the 17-order Rubik's Cube in reality. Strictly speaking, it is the 17-order Rubik's Cube in the field of mathematics. This is the first record set."
The host noticed the excitement of the Yude audience and was amused. She said, "It seems that everyone is very excited. Wait a moment, don't be impatient."
"Aren't you curious about who is the contestant who completely solved the Rubik's Cube?"
The Yude students on the field shouted in unison: "Xiu Shen - Xiu Shen -"
“Xiu Xiu—Xiu Xiu—”
They have great confidence in Zhou Xiu because from the preliminary round to now, Zhou Xiu has always brought them surprises in every show.
The host blinked mysteriously, "Please look at the big screen——"
The last Rubik's Cube on the big screen flipped over, and the clicker ID displayed on its back was 03, and No. 03 was Zhou Xiu.
The whole audience exclaimed “Wow!” and the enthusiastic cheers were like waves, one higher than the other.
In the audience, Yu Qingyan held her face in disbelief: "Wow! It's really Xiu Xiu!"
At this moment, Lan Xin's eyes were also sparkling with tears of excitement.
When Lu Lingshan saw the familiar name, she stood up suddenly.
She glanced in the direction of Zhou Xiu on the field.
In Lu Lingshan's memory, Zhou Xiu barely passed the Mathematical Olympiad test, as if it was just yesterday.
Has Zhou Xiu become that strong now?
After the game, the two teams shook hands with each other in a friendly manner.
The captain of the Xinao team said to Zhou Xiu: "You are very strong. Although I didn't make it to the end, I am very happy to meet you. Can you leave your contact information for future communication?"
"You're welcome." Zhou Xiu gave him the contact information.
The captain of the Xinao team was the first one to submit the answer, and he had a 36% accuracy rate.
After walking out of the studio, the members of the Yude school team were surrounded by people. The little friends stuffed bouquets of flowers into their arms as if they were free.
Zhou Xiu was still a little dazed until she walked out of the TV station.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the game and eliminate the possibility of cheating, each team member receives a different chaos cube.
During the competition, Xi Shaoyuan had already typed out all the steps on the answering machine long ago, and Zhou Xiu happened to take a look at his answering steps.
Xi Shaoyuan looked at Zhou Xiu's answer and changed one of the steps before submitting the result.
After returning to the hotel, looking at Zhou Xiu who had been staring at the window for a long time, he stretched out his palm and waved it in front of her eyes:
Yu Qingyan said: "Come back to your senses, show your spirit!"
Huaxu curled his lips and smiled: "Why, are you still savoring the victory of the game?"
Zhou Xiu was calculating the Rubik's Cube recovery rate of Xi Shaoyuan's first version of the answer, 100%, and frowned... Why did Xi Shaoyuan change the answer?
Many images flashed before Zhou Xiu's eyes: Xi Shaoyuan's first finger stretched out under the starry sky wall; him assembling the Kongming lock easily and quickly on the top of the mountain at night during the autumn outing; Lao Wang's excessive preference for him...
Huatui asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about, why?"
Zhou Xiu shook her head: "No."
Huaxu was almost in love with Zhou Xiu. She rubbed Zhou Xiu's face vigorously, "Xiu Xiu is really good!"
"Tomorrow afternoon, we will play against R-Zhong. Come on, this is the last game!"
Lan Xin said: "Blast them!"
"Beat them till they scream!"
Tonight, Huateng originally planned to take Zhou Xiu to visit City B, take her to Shin Kong and Guomao for shopping, and spend a happy night shopping. In the end, Yude actually won!
Huatui is worried about herself and will be too nervous to sleep tonight.
Zhou Xiu took out his biology book and began to read it with great interest.
…
The other side.
Gu Mingxi from R did not go to watch the afternoon game because he was not interested.
R is already famous enough and does not need to appear on TV to increase his fame. For Gu Mingxi, mathematics is something worth spending time on. If the second-tier players were not too weak and affected the school's image, players like Gu Mingxi would not have appeared on the court at all.
The same goes for Jiang Jiajun. The national biology competition is imminent, and he hasn't finished reading ten thick biology supplementary materials for this program.
However, the anchor he followed had already reviewed them half a month ago.
Until a teammate who had watched a certain competition sent him a recorded live video... The senior and junior, who had stayed in their respective rooms preparing for the Mathematical Olympiad (Biology Olympiad) the entire afternoon, were both stunned.
Jiang Jiajun frowned: "..."
"Is there anyone more perverted than the captain of Team Shin'ao in H?"
Jiang Jiajun originally thought that R Middle School would fight with H Middle School, but he didn't expect that a Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway, and R Middle School was about to face the unfamiliar Yude Middle School.
Jiang Jiajun raised his head and was about to speak to his senior. I saw——
Gu Mingxi turned the video back and watched it again. His eyes were as passionate as if he was staring at his lover in the honeymoon period - mathematics.
Jiang Jiajun was no longer surprised and continued to work hard on biology.
When Gu Mingxi saw the 17th-order Rubik's Cube return to its pure color in one second, his usually cold eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. But that was all. The moment he was about to turn off the video——
The big screen showed a close-up of the two teams shaking hands. Gu Mingxi glanced at it casually and his eyes suddenly froze.
The girl who solved the Rubik's Cube looked calm and gentle, but the hand she stretched out was rougher than that of the captain in H.
All the details seemed to be connected in an instant. Gu Mingxi suddenly put down the book and stood up.
Jiang Jiajun glanced curiously and asked, "Where are you going, senior?"
Gu Mingxi went to the cloakroom to change his clothes. He said to the mirror jokingly, "Go find my future girlfriend."
He looked at his junior with contempt, but quickly retracted his look.
Being so stupid, he still lied to him that the anchor was a man?
Jiang Jiajun: “…”
…
Dinner time.
Thanks to Xu Qing, Zhou Xiu had a luxurious meal. The restaurant's layout is as dreamy as a fairy tale, with a wide variety of desserts and sweet aromas that make people feel the taste of happiness.
The students of Yude celebrated here with great enthusiasm. Lao Wang told the principal the first-hand information from the front line and also broadcast the joyful atmosphere on the scene to them live.
The news almost made the principal so happy that he felt dizzy and was so happy that he couldn't speak. The principal's secretary cried, "But I have reserved tickets for you for tomorrow afternoon."
The principal waved his hand cheerfully: "Change the ticket. If you can't change it, get a refund!"
Huateng's depressed mood was diluted a lot because of Du Heng's allergy, but she still went to the hospital after dinner.
After dinner, Zhou Xiu went outside for a walk to digest the food. When she and Yu Qingyan, Lan Xin and others walked to the hotel entrance, she was stopped by a boy.
Zhou Xiu looked up at him and recognized him as the captain of the R Middle School team.
Receiving the boy's signaling look, Yu Qingyan and Lan Xin tactfully took a few steps back, but only a few steps.
Gu Mingxi handed Zhou Xiu a room card and said, "Here you go. Come here tomorrow."
A string of question marks slowly appeared on Zhou Xiu's face: "???"
Gu Mingxi raised his lips and smiled slowly: "Tomorrow morning, Guojin and I will be here. We have a lot of interesting Olympiad questions that you should be interested in."
"Right, anchor?"
The syllable "bo" seems to have magical power, slightly vibrating people's eardrums and bringing about a sweet feeling. Gu Mingxi's cold brows were covered with a layer of warmth. Treat it as if you are a friend you have known for a long time.
His gaze was pure and direct, and his behavior was frivolous and could easily be misunderstood, but fortunately Zhou Xiu was not the kind of person who would think too much.
Zhou Xiu immediately thought of "Guo Jin" and "IMO", both of whom were excellent netizens. "Guo Jin" had tutored her in English for a long time.
Zhou Xiu shook her head and said, "No thanks."
Gu Mingxi took back the room card. He looked around at Zhou Xiu, took a step back, closed his eyes, and said with emotion:
"You are exactly as I imagined."
Zhou Xiu: “…”
After Gu Mingxi finished speaking, he left. Yu Qingyan and Lan Xin quickly walked to Zhou Xiu's side.
Being in contact with the captain in R at such a distance, Yu Qingyan, a straightforward beauty lover, felt her heart instantly devastated.
Although she didn't understand what was going on, Yu Qingyan didn't dare to look directly at Gu Mingxi. It seemed that just one look at Gu Mingxi would make her heart pound and her face blush.
He is really sexy and handsome, exuding strong hormones.
Yu Qingyan stuttered and asked Zhou Xiu: "Xiu, Xiuxiu! What did he...what did he want from you?"
Lan Xin asked in a competitive tone: "Does Xiuxiu recognize him?"
Zhou Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head.
Meeting online, so...it doesn’t count as knowing each other.
Is it so exciting to hand over the room card when meeting for the first time?
Yu Qingyan and Lan Xin's jaws almost dropped to the ground. As high school students, they felt as if they were living in the Qing Dynasty.
Yu Qingyan said sternly, "Xiu Xiu, now that you are famous, you will encounter more temptations in the future. Don't just accept the room card that someone offers you!"
Lan Xin said seriously: "It's not okay even if she looks pretty!"
After Zhou Xiu nodded, after a long time——
Yu Qingyan picked at her fingers in confusion and said, "Okay, I can consider taking it after college."
Lan Xin covered her face shyly, "Don't miss a man of his caliber."
Lan Xin watched the video in R and searched for Gu Mingxi's information carefully with the intention of collecting intelligence on the enemy. His resume is so perfect that he doesn't seem like a real person.
He was the first place in the World Mathematical Olympiad last year.
He actually... handed the room card to Xiuxiu? At this moment, the image of the male god collapsed completely.
Zhou Xiu smiled, shook her head and said, "You misunderstood."
"There is no competition tomorrow morning. He and his junior are writing a test paper. He asked me if I wanted to join them so that we can exchange ideas..."
Yu Qingyan and Lan Xin's shy and yearning expressions suddenly cracked: "..."
I was speechless for a long time.
Is the academic god worthy of being called the academic god? The academic genius handed the room card to the academic genius just to write the test together.
The other side.
Xi Shaoyuan closed the curtains and hesitated for a moment. Through the glass, he saw Gu Mingxi in R handing Zhou Xiu the room card. The two were talking and laughing, as if they were friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Xi Shaoyuan drew the curtains of the restaurant to block out his dark, jealous gaze.
…
The next day, morning.
Zhou Xiu did not go to watch the match between No. 4 Middle School and H Middle School in the morning, but stayed in the hotel to do homework. The presence of Gu Mingxi and Jiang Jiajun reminded her to prepare well for the competition.
Zhou Xiu held the iPad with the behind-the-scenes footage and scrolled through the questions that Gu Mingxi had sent her online.
I don't know where he got Zhou Xiu's contact information from. When Zhou Xiu returned to the hotel, he found the red dot of his new friend and said, "I'm 'Work hard IMO'"
As soon as Zhou Xiu clicked "pass", a lot of test questions were sent to him by the other side.
Zhou Xiu was writing the test paper on his iPad. He became more and more excited as he wrote, as if he was immersed in a vast ocean of mathematics.
Gu Mingxi sent the answer on time, "Have you finished writing?"
It was the first time that Zhou Xiu got so many questions wrong. She was stunned. The difficulty of the questions in the International IMO competition was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary competitions.
Gu Mingxi sent a voice message, "Come on, 28013, I'll teach you."
There seemed to be a smile in his voice.
The moment Zhou Xiu finished correcting the test paper, the system suddenly made a sound: [Complete the 60th International IMO test paper and receive a reward of 100 RMB. 】
The system doesn’t even take the accuracy rate into account, you can get a reward as soon as you finish writing.
It can be seen that the accuracy rate of the test paper she wrote was extremely low, and Zhou Xiu was a little shocked.
Xi Shaoyuan also did not go to watch the game of No. 4 Middle School. At nine o'clock, after he came back from outside, he remembered that Gu Mingxi handed Zhou Xiu the room card last night. The elevator went up to the 26th floor, where Zhou Xiu and others lived.
Xi Shaoyuan pressed the door-opening button and stopped. He walked to the door of a room. The door was not closed tightly, so he pushed it gently.
Zhou Xiu opened the window and wrote and drew on her iPad with an electronic pen. She stared at the screen intently, frowning from time to time and lost in thought from time to time...
Xi Shaoyuan knocked on the door.
Zhou Xiu said, "Please come in."
Xi Shaoyuan walked in and saw the topic Zhou Xiu was writing. The familiar topic made his heart tremble slightly, and he turned his head away.
Zhou Xiu was a little surprised to see that the person coming was Xi Shaoyuan. She asked, "Can you write?"
Xi Shaoyuan turned around and was about to deny it when Zhou Xiu stuffed the pen into his hand.
Xi Shaoyuan then sat down and wrote a few lines of fluent formulas on the screen.
Zhou Xiu looked at the steps and thought for a long time. She said, "Oh, I know how to do it. Why can't I solve the Rubik's Cube correctly?"
The idea used in this geometric figure is exactly the same as that used to solve the 17th-order Rubik's Cube.
This was the message Gu Mingxi deliberately picked out to send to Zhou Xiu.
Xi Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Zhou Xiu, gazing at her clean profile. The faint morning light revealed the light fuzz on her face, making it soft and beautiful.
At this moment, her pursed lips looked as if she had just eaten strawberries, and were stained with a layer of watery red strawberry color.
After a long while, Xi Shaoyuan asked, "Do you...really want to win?"
His voice was so soft, so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the breeze from the window as soon as it fell.
Zhou Xiu seemed not to hear.
After finishing the two big questions, Zhou Xiu turned off the iPad. At this moment, her cell phone rang with a ding, and Zhou Xiu checked the new messages.
At twelve o'clock, the match between No. 4 Middle School and H Middle School was over, and Huatiao sent a screen full of front-line news, "Xiu Xiu! Du Heng won! No. 4 Middle School won!"
No. 4 Middle School tried its best to get the highest score in each link, and the score was almost off the charts, just catching up with the score of R Middle School.
The voice strip of the highlights was mixed with the enthusiastic cheers from the audience. She said excitedly: "Xiu Xiu, it's a pity that you didn't come to watch the game!"
The messages from the students in Class 24 arrived almost at the same time, and the messages from 99+ were enough to show how excited they were at the moment. Yu Qingyan screamed happily: "Oh my God, even I didn't expect this turn of events."
Lan Xin said softly, "If we can beat R Middle School, my brother-in-law will have another chance to play against R Middle School. Xiu Xiu, you must do your best this afternoon!"
Zhou Xiu listened to the voice message and said seriously, "Of course I want to win."
"We have to try our best in every competition so that we won't have any regrets, right?"
Xi Shaoyuan said "oh" in his heart.
knew.
