After the housewarming party, Zhou Xiu and her father were cleaning the table.
Zhou Cheng was very happy. He sent his daughter to play nearby and said, "I can come here."
Zhou Xiu had nothing to do, so he took out a notebook and a pen and did some math problems to pass the time.
Liu Mei saw Zhou Xiu buried her head in her homework again. She wiped her hands and asked, "Xiu'er has been quite nervous lately. Do you want to go out for a walk and relax?"
Zhou Cheng listened to his wife's words and thought of what his class teacher had told him. He nodded and agreed: "Xiu'er, don't be so stressed. We don't ask you to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. Health is the most important thing."
Zhou Xiu's parents took away the paper and pen from her. She shrugged and said, "I'm not nervous. I'm just doing math to kill time."
After saying that, Zhou Xiu's phone vibrated.
She took out her cell phone and looked at the message. Xie Cheng asked her to send him the math test paper from today's exam.
Zhou Xiu thought that Xie Cheng asked about the test paper because he wanted to do that test paper. Without thinking too much, she took a photo of today's test paper and sent it to Xie Cheng.
After cleaning the house, Zhou Cheng and his wife took their daughter to a nearby park for a walk.
Zhou Cheng and Liu Mei met their neighbors dancing in the square and happily joined them while Zhou Xiu watched from the side.
At this moment, Zhou Xiu's cell phone rang. She took out her phone and checked the message. Xie Cheng sent her a voice message.
Xie Cheng replied: "Teacher Wang gave me this test paper and I got over 80 points."
His cold voice seemed to be mixed with a barely audible smile, bringing some warmth to this slightly chilly night.
"Shaoyuan is indeed good at math, but you are not bad either. Don't be easily discouraged by him."
Xie Cheng's tone seemed to be comforting. Zhou Xiu walked with her phone in hand and said, "No, I'm Zhou Xiu."
Zhou Xiu will not be defeated easily.
After Zhou Xiu finished the test this morning, she already knew how difficult it was. It was far beyond the scope of the mathematics league examination. Zhou Xiu has tried her best. It is not shameful to get more than 80 points. Zhou Xiu has not done any special training for these types of questions.
What really touched Zhou Xiu was that Xi Shaoyuan scored 143 points. Now, in addition to knowing that she might not get first place, she also understood that she might not get second or third place either.
system:【……】
The system said jokingly: [So, boy, have you finally understood the pain of your classmates in Class 24? 】
Zhou Xiu nodded, "Well, I understand now."
The system said seriously: [Excellent people are everywhere. Only by continuous efforts can you surpass yourself. Come on, young man! 】
[The league hasn't started yet, you still have hope! 】
On the other side, Xie Cheng heard Zhou Xiu's open-minded voice in the voice bar and knew that she didn't take today's incident to heart.
After Zhou Xiu returned home, she did some special training based on the wrong question types she had encountered today. She found an original English math book from the bookshelf and started reading it.
Late at night, the moon quietly hides behind the dark clouds.
Before he knew it, it was already one o'clock in the morning. Zhou Xiu yawned and stretched, and hurried to review the remaining content before going to bed.
The system accompanied her in reading. As it looked at the girl's thin but determined back, it felt a sense of satisfaction in its heart. Look, it was accompanying Zhou Xiu in her studies.
It is such a fulfilling feeling to be able to witness how she grows up step by step.
【Fighting, Doctor Zhou! 】
…
Monday, Yude Middle School.
On Monday, the teachers handed out the weekly test papers for each subject from last week. After being tortured by the weekly tests several times, the students have been able to adapt to the rhythm of the weekly tests well.
Zhou Xiu's science scores were as outstanding as ever, still getting full marks.
As soon as the test papers were handed out, Du Feiyang exclaimed. Du Feiyang looked at his deskmate's math test paper and asked in disbelief, "Mingming, did you take this?"
At first glance, the test paper is full of wavy lines and there is a bright red "150" next to the score column. Is this a score that a poor student can get?
The originally quiet classroom suddenly became noisy, and Tan Ming felt dozens of eyes falling on him at this moment.
He straightened his back subconsciously and said "hmm" calmly.
Teacher Huang held up the report card and said solemnly: "According to me, Tan Ming's average score in math last semester was still hovering around . . . He never passed a grade in his first year of high school..."
As Tan Ming listened, his face gradually turned darker.
The buzzing discussion among the students in Class 24 suddenly became silent. Could it be that Mr. Huang was... suspecting Mingming of cheating in the math test?
At the right moment, Teacher Di Huang smiled and changed her tone abruptly: "But after a semester of hard work, Tan Ming has turned around from failing to getting full marks. Math is really not difficult, and several students in our class have personally confirmed this!"
"Lian Tanming got full marks in math, so how can it be justified that you guys failed math?"
The poor students in Class 24: "..."
Mathematics is not difficult. Doesn’t Mr. Huang feel any pain in his conscience when he says this?
Ever since Zhou Xiu transferred to Class 24, the classmates have become numb to full marks. They are no longer surprised to hear the teacher talking about full marks every day. However, Tan Ming also got full marks. This pot of chicken soup unexpectedly smells good.
The students in Class 24 couldn’t help but think, is mathematics really that easy to learn? Even Tan Ming, who was such a poor student, got full marks.
Everyone was inattentive during the entire math review class, either immersed in Tan Ming's full score in math, or making faces at Tan Ming.
After class.
The students rushed to Tan Ming and expressed their shock, "Let me see your test paper?"
"If I didn't trust your character, even I would doubt whether you cheated this time!"
Tan Ming modestly flattened the corners of his mouth slightly, and took a photo of his perfect math score and sent it to his mother. Mingming's mother replied with a string of exclamation marks later.
"!!!!!!!!!"
"Did you take the wrong test paper for Xiuxiu?"
"No." Tan Ming was speechless for a while and replied.
Du Feiyang also made great progress in this weekly test. He passed all the subjects and even got a high score of 141 in English. However, his score was instantly dwarfed by Tan Ming's perfect score in mathematics.
He thought about Tan Ming's reduced basketball activities during this period and the fact that they could never make appointments to meet up on weekends, so he would occasionally do math problems during breaks. Seeing the faint blue shadow under Tan Ming's eyelids at this time, I was even more impressed.
This is Tan Ming, who cares most about his image and least interested in studying!
Du Feiyang patted Tan Ming's shoulder and sighed, "I can't believe it. It turns out that Mingming got the script of a counterattack."
Tan Ming ignored the envious voices around him. He picked up the math test paper and walked straight to Zhou Xiu's seat.
He pointed at a question on the test paper and discussed it with Zhou Xiu openly for the first time. He asked Zhou Xiu: "I heard from the teacher that you used another simple solution for the last question. Can you teach me?"
Tan Ming held his breath and waited for the answer.
Zhou Xiu put down the draft paper and said, "Of course."
Zhou Xiu took over Tan Ming's test paper, quickly glanced through the questions, quickly picked up a pen and wrote down a few formulas, and explained them to Tan Ming.
After explaining the questions, she returned the test paper to Tan Ming and said, "Congratulations, you got full marks in math."
"I just happened to be lucky. I can answer all the questions given." Tan Ming said modestly with his head down.
"You're far behind Xiuxiu in math. I've never seen a girl learn math as well as you do."
Zhou Xiu shrugged, "It's not as exaggerated as you say, it's actually quite normal."
Zhou Xiu glanced at the unfinished math problem on the draft paper and sighed inaudibly in his heart.
Tan Ming was very surprised to hear Zhou Xiu say such unconfident words.
He didn't dare to look Zhou Xiu in the eye, and turned his head away and said with a click of the tongue: "Are you good students so hypocritical? When you first transferred to Class 24, you wouldn't say such a thing. At that time, you said see you on the honor roll."
Tan Ming paused, "Zhou Xiu, you made me fall in love with mathematics from the bottom of my heart."
Does Zhou Xiu know that when she studies mathematics, her eyes light up and she is filled with endless enthusiasm? Did she know that by igniting her passion for mathematics, she was also igniting the love for mathematics in others?
"So you will keep improving, you are very good." After saying that, Tan Ming raised his head proudly and looked at Zhou Xiu, like a colorful peacock.
Those who truly love mathematics and keep working hard will continue to make progress.
Zhou Xiu: “…”
What kind of weird logic is this?
Although Tan Ming spoke incoherently, Zhou Xiu actually understood what he wanted to say. His eyes became brighter because of his sincerity, which made Zhou Xiu stunned.
Zhou Xiu took out the draft paper again and immersed himself in the complicated calculations.
Huaxu chuckled, "Come on Mingming, you just got a perfect score on the test, why are you so proud? You even showed off in front of Xiuxiu."
Xu Qing, who was sitting next to him, propped up his chin and saw Tan Ming's provocative smile, and his transparent lenses lit up.
He took off his glasses and seriously began to correct math problems at his desk.
…
School is over at noon.
As usual, Zhou Xiu took the weekend test paper to Lao Wang's office to discuss it.
Because Zhou Xiu started math competitions relatively late and her foundation was not very strong, Lao Wang would explain the test paper to Zhou Xiu individually after every math class test.
However, this time, when Zhou Xiu arrived at the office and just reached the door, she heard Lao Wang scolding a student in his usual sharp and venomous style.
It was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the teachers in the office had already left. The angry voice of Lao Wang echoed in the empty office:
"You think you are very talented and amazing, don't you?"
"If you have the guts, then just don't participate this year. One less person won't make a difference anyway."
Zhou Xiu pushed the door open a crack and was surprised to find that the person being scolded was Xi Shaoyuan, who had scored 143 points in the exam, and whom Lao Wang had always habitually ignored and was reluctant to scold.
The tall figure in the office exuded a sense of arrogance and loneliness, and then the young man's light and arrogant voice fell, "I don't think I am great."
Zhou Xiu held the test paper and thought regretfully: I probably won’t be able to listen to the test paper explanation today.
At this time, the office door was opened, and Lao Wang saw Zhou Xiu who was about to leave. He stopped Zhou Xiu and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing?"
"You scored over 80 points, and you still want to escape the review? Zhou Xiu, come here."
Zhou Xiu felt some pain in her knees: "..."
Lao Wang took a sip of wolfberry tea and was so angry at Xi Shaoyuan that he felt chest tightness and hoarseness. Seeing Zhou Xiu trying to sneak away at this moment, his head hurt even more.
Xi Shaoyuan, who was standing nearby, said, "Nothing, I'll go eat."
Old Wang pointed at Xi Shaoyuan with a dark face and said, "You still want to go eat? Xi Shaoyuan, come here and tell Zhou Xiu about this test paper. I'm going to eat."
Zhou Xiu and Xi Shaoyuan's faces were filled with question marks: "..."
Old Wang turned around and said to Zhou Xiu in a gentle tone, "Shao Yuan's idea is quite good. It may be helpful for you to listen to it."
After saying this, Lao Wang took his meal card and left the office.
Xi Shaoyuan put his hands in his pockets and stood still, as if he had no intention of following Lao Wang's instructions to explain the test paper to Zhou Xiu. Zhou Xiu stuffed the test paper back into her schoolbag and said, "No, I'm going back first."
Xi Shaoyuan froze all over. He pursed his lips and uttered a word after a long while: "Zhou Xiu, please take out the test paper."
Xi Shaoyuan found draft paper and pen from the teacher's desk, spread out the test paper, and signaled Zhou Xiu to sit down with his eyes.
He took Zhou Xiu's test paper and paused for a moment when he saw the score. At the weekend, Xi Shaoyuan finished the test paper and left the classroom without knowing Zhou Xiu's score.
Xi Shaoyuan said: "It's okay, I've written similar papers before."
Zhou Xiu: “…”
This explanation sounded like comforting, but Zhou Xiu didn't need comfort.
Xi Shaoyuan carefully browsed through Zhou Xiu's test paper and started from the first wrong question. He held the pen. The joints of his left hand were distinct, and the ink from the tip of the pen could not wait to flow out.
Complex formulas and graphs become simple and beautiful under his clear mathematical thinking.
The faint light fell on his aloof face, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye seemed to glow.
The author has something to say:
You wasted so much of my time
I'm so angry that my head hurts
You still want to eat? dream!
Yuan Yuan: “…”
