…
Zhou Xiu walked into the biology competition class next door carrying her schoolbag.
It was break time, and the students in the biology competition class were washing their lab equipment. There was a dissected crucian carp on the lab table that had not yet been removed. The last class was an experiment on the dissection of crucian carp.
The crucian carp's gills, swim bladder and gall bladder were scattered all over the place, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of disinfectant and fish.
During the break, the students slumped at their desks, leaning against the test benches, looking like they had lost all desire to live and were physically and mentally exhausted.
This leisurely atmosphere is completely different from the race against time math competition class next door.
It was as if one had instantly switched from a battlefield filled with the rigors of war and smoke to a leisurely farming life.
Zhou Xiu was used to Lao Wang's fast pace, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Xu Qing was washing his hands leisurely. He had already washed them twice before Zhou Xiu came, and this was his third time.
Xu Qing was very surprised to see Zhou Xiu coming.
He asked Zhou Xiu: "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Xiu put down her schoolbag, pursed her lips and said softly, "Come to class. I have signed up for the biology competition next year."
Xu Qing was slightly surprised because Zhou Xiu was from the math competition class next door, but he quickly smiled and said, "Welcome to the biology competition."
"You missed an interesting experiment. Want to try it? We still have a few fish left."
Xu Qing looked towards the podium. There were still a few crucian carps left in the large water tank that the teaching assistant had brought over, swimming leisurely.
Before Xu Qing finished speaking, the girl who was washing her hands next to him muttered to herself in annoyance: "Damn, this fishy smell can't be washed away?"
Another girl sniffed her hand, "My God, why is there such a scary thing? Before today, I have never killed a fish in my life."
After washing the nails, there is still a lingering fishy smell.
The laboratory table next door was covered with fish scales and the unwiped blood had evaporated, filling the air with the smell of a fresh food market.
However, just across the line, Xu Qing's experimental bench was tidy and clean, even the garbage in the trash can was emptied, and the undried water droplets on the laboratory table exuded the fragrance of lemon.
Too clean and tidy to be like a boy.
When the girl at the next table heard that Xu Qing was going to dissect another fish, she took a few steps back in fear.
Zhou Xiu couldn't help but curl her lips, "No need."
When Zhou Xiu was very young, she followed her father to prepare wedding banquets for others to make a living. She had no idea how many fish she had killed while helping out. There were less than a hundred or eighty crucian carps dissected by Zhou Xiu, but not much more.
Zhou Xiu can draw the structure and appearance of a crucian carp with his eyes closed.
For Zhou Xiu, the birds flying in the sky, the fish swimming in the water, the earthworms digging in the soil, and every flower and grass in nature are all familiar to her. That's the beauty of biology.
Originated from life, but higher than life.
Xu Qing nodded knowingly. After all, she was a girl, so it was normal for her not to like these bloody things.
Since Zhou Xiu had no intention of cutting open the crucian carp, after washing his hands, Xu Qing began to write the experimental report seriously.
The biology teacher was very happy to see Zhou Xiu coming and gave her special instructions on how to do experiments.
"If you don't know anything, you can ask Xu Qing. It just so happens that you are in the same class."
After Zhou Xiu finished the experiment, he looked around at the experimental materials provided by the school, including various reagents and equipment. The only prop for the mathematics class next door was a test paper.
Although it is also a competition class with a price of 200 yuan per class, the cost-effectiveness of biology is not too high.
Zhou Xiu didn't know that in the field of biology competitions, the school invests a lot of money every year to train students, commonly known as losing money.
However, the biology competition class can only attract a few top students. Almost all the top and capable students in the science rocket class choose mathematics competitions, with a few choosing physics and chemistry.
Even if they paid money, they couldn't recruit many top students, and the biology group didn't achieve much success in competitions.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Xiu was able to give up mathematics, and was either considered a weirdo or a loser. It’s no wonder that Xu Haobo and Qi Yaguang showed contempt after learning of Zhou Xiu’s choice.
After school, Xu Qing asked slowly, "Are you not going to study math anymore?"
Zhou Xiu shook her head, "I learned it."
Xu Qing carried his schoolbag and followed Zhou Xiu out of the classroom, saying as he walked, "Do you want to learn both?"
He paused and said gently, "This will probably be very hard for you. The math competition class has an elimination system. If you don't meet the monthly test standards, you will be expelled."
Zhou Xiu walked to the teaching building and stopped, "I know. Thanks for the reminder."
Xu Qing walked out of the school gate and got into a black sedan that had been parked on the roadside and waiting for a long time.
Zhou Xiu walked towards the crowded subway station.
The next day.
Zhou Xiu came to the mathematics office and knocked on the door respectfully.
Teacher Wang's face turned long when he saw her. "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Xiu handed in the test paper she had written at home, "Please grade the test paper that I have completed within the specified time."
Teacher Wang remembered what Zhou Xiu said when she asked for leave, so he was too lazy to correct her test paper and even wanted to kick her out.
She said, "In the future, when there is a test in math class, I will go to biology class."
Think about it, think about this. It turns out that mathematics has become Zhou Xiu's snack in his free time. It has always been Lao Wang who chooses students, and he has never been chosen in return.
Seeing that Teacher Wang didn't move, Zhou Xiu handed him a red pen.
Old Wang, with a serious face, quickly corrected the test paper, and the score was exactly 65, no more, no less.
Zhou Xiu glanced over the wrong questions and asked cautiously, "Teacher, I heard you said yesterday that you would give a new test paper collection to students who scored below 70 points?"
"I only have 65 points, so I should be able to get it, right?"
Are you still thinking about his test paper?
Lao Wang said coldly: "Aren't you going to the biology class? You are not even in the math class anymore, so it's useless to write it for you."
His test paper will be left for people who love mathematics and love competitions. How could I let a student like Zhou Xiu, who is indecisive and as distracted as a kite, write the test paper for her?
What a waste.
Although the fact is that no one likes to write Lao Wang's test papers, he often has to force test papers on students.
Zhou Xiu pursed her lips and touched her nose: "I will always be in the math competition class, teacher, please don't worry."
"If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. Goodbye, teacher."
Lao Wang reached out for the wolfberry and red date tea beside him and took a sip to lower his soaring blood pressure.
He took a look at the test paper left by Zhou Xiu. The experienced teacher could easily find Zhou Xiu's problems.
The wrong parts on the test paper almost all involved simple knowledge points, but there were no mistakes on the content that was taught recently and the more difficult questions. The basic knowledge is too weak.
Class 24.
Zhou Xiu used her spare time to immerse herself in reading the Mathematical Olympiad books borrowed from the library.
Huaxu touched her head and asked mysteriously, "Xiu, why are you working so hard? Are you preparing for the exam?"
“Is it stressful?”
The circle of high school students is very small, and her friend in the Winners class told her about the quarrel between Zhou Xiu and Qi Yaguang.
Yu Qingyan came over and said through gritted teeth: "Xiu Xiu, you must strive to pass the exam!"
"You know, the Rocket Class is counting on you to fall out so that they can make room for Lu Lingshan."
There is a reason why Lu Lingshan wants to join the math competition class - for Xi Shaoyuan. Xi Shaoyuan likes top students with good grades, especially girls who are good at math. Lu Lingshan has no idea how many math tutors she has hired privately.
People in Wenna's class saw her many times asking Xi Shaoyuan for help with math problems.
If she were allowed to join the competition class, wouldn't she have to...constantly bother her boyfriend?
As a die-hard fan of Xi Shaoyuan, Yu Qingyan could never tolerate it.
Yu Qingyan deliberately placed all the Mathematical Olympiad tutoring materials that she had bought and was planning to use in front of Zhou Xiu.
A thick stack of tutoring materials fell on the table with a muffled sound, and even the desk shook slightly.
Zhou Xiu was so shocked that he pulled his eyes away from the Mathematical Olympiad and raised his gaze to the pile of information.
Xu Qing, who was sitting in the back seat, glanced at Zhou Xiu, who was reading a book as she was caught between the two women's constant chatter.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Yu Qingyan, your reference book is useless. Don't bother her, let her review on her own."
If one can do well in the exam after reading these books, there won't be people in the rocket class who can't get into the competition class. The content involved in Mathematical Olympiad is broad and biased, deep and difficult. A tutorial book that only touches on the surface of this kind of content will only waste time.
If you can get the Mathematical Olympiad test paper collection compiled by Lao Wang himself, it would be of some reference value.
Yu Qingyan is such a poor student that even buying a tutorial book is a difficult task.
Zhou Xiu put down the math book and rubbed his sore eyes.
Huaxu silently took out a bottle of Telunsu, inserted a straw, and handed it to Zhou Xiu.
"If she's not in the competition class, then she's not in it. Why put so much pressure on yourself? Xiuxiu, don't listen to Yu Qingyan. It's none of your business whether Lu Lingshan enters the competition class or not."
"Don't forget to drink milk while studying. Drinking milk will help you grow taller."
Huaxu doesn't really want Zhou Xiu to stay in that class, as she might be bullied one day.
Du Feiyang listened and widened his eyes.
Since the person who was speaking was Hua Ti, he silently swallowed his objection.
Having said that, it’s okay to make room for others, but it would be very uncomfortable if the person you’re making room for is Lu Lingshan.
Considering that Lu Lingshan was able to get the math test paper last time, her past math monthly exam results will still have to be... slowly followed by a question mark?
It is unconscionable that the full score obtained through real money test has to give way to the 120+ that is suspected to be cheated.
"Xiu Xiu, please help me!"
Zhou Xiu drank the milk in big gulps and said calmly, "It won't fall out."
"don’t worry."
Although Zhou Xiu’s weekly test results were not ideal, she made progress every time. If Zhou Xiu had been exposed to Mathematical Olympiad earlier, he wouldn't be in such a mess now.
After finishing his snacks during class, Zhou Xiu rushed to study.
Du Feiyang's deskmate Tan Ming remained silent. He typed a string of words in the dialog box and thought for a long time before sending it out.
"Do you want to join the math competition class so much? Do you like math so much?"
Lu Lingshan’s profile picture is of herself, with her profile captured in the morning light. Her thick and curled eyelashes are like small fans, and her skin is so white and delicate that it looks very pure.
Tan Ming’s WeChat wall is her avatar.
After school.
Zhou Xiu returned to the Xi family. As soon as she walked into the entrance hall, she heard music coming from upstairs. It was Xi Shaoyuan playing the piano in the piano room upstairs.
Zhou Xiu went to the balcony to take the coat that Xi Shaoyuan had lent her and knocked on the door of the piano room.
Zhou Xiu knocked a few times and walked in.
Steinway pianos are large in size and have a smooth, shiny appearance. The boy's slender and bony hands were reflected on the piano, which was so clean that it could reflect a person's shadow.
His face was cold, his fingertips fell on the piano keys like raindrops, and the piano sounds flowed out like clear spring water.
Zhou Xiu waited until he finished playing the piano before putting the clothes down and said, "Thank you for that day... I've already washed them."
Xi Shaoyuan hummed vaguely, as if he was too lazy to pay attention.
When Zhou Xiu turned around and was about to leave the room, he picked up the clothes and threw them into the trash can.
Zhou Xiu's steps paused for a moment, and he turned around just in time to see this scene, his eyes filled with astonishment that he could not hide in time.
Although the Xi family was wealthy, Xi Shaoyuan would throw away clothes even if they were slightly stained. But these were the clothes that Xi Shaoyuan lent to Zhou Xiu himself.
He actually threw it away without even thinking about it?
Xi Shaoyuan didn't think there was anything wrong, but saw Zhou Xiu's surprised expression.
He looked at his hand, was surprised for a moment and said, "Sorry, my hand slipped. Don't take it to heart."
Zhou Xiu looked at him with a cold look in her eyes. It took her a long time before she spoke:
"If you didn't want to borrow, you didn't have to. No one forced you."
Although Zhou Xiu believed that Xi Shaoyuan knew what would happen next and was very prejudiced against her. But this was the first time Zhou Xiu had seen someone so narcissistic.
Zhou Xiu left the room without looking back and closed the door gently.
After a while, Xi Shaoyuan slowly walked to the trash can, squatted down and stared at the school uniform, and after a moment he slowly said:
"Tsk, now you should give up."
