Chapter 244 Let’s Strive for Full Marks
As the exam bell rang, the preliminary round of the chemistry competition officially began.
After writing his name, registration number and school in the designated places, Sheng Beibei glanced through the test paper as usual.
The difficulty of the preliminary round is obviously higher than that of the preliminaries.
Many candidates scratched their heads as they looked at the questions that seemed like incomprehensible, sweating profusely, and managed to write out the chemical equations but could not get them to balance. Some frantically scribbled on the draft paper but did not do much.
However, this difficulty is nothing for Sheng Beibei.
Sheng Beibei first spent his time on relatively simple questions, such as writing reaction equations, drawing molecular structure diagrams and structural formulas, etc. He could simplify the coefficients of the equations into the simplest integers with just a glance.
After making sure that there would be no mistakes in those types of questions, Sheng Beibei began to calculate, such as deriving chemical formulas through calculations, calculating constants, etc. She was very fast at mental arithmetic and came up with the answer by just writing down a few numbers on a piece of scratch paper.
There were also some questions that required brief explanations of the reasons, and Sheng Beibei also answered them concisely and directly to the point.
"Students, the exam will be over in an hour and a half. Please make the best use of your time," the invigilator reminded.
As soon as the words were spoken, the sounds of "swish swish" of writing and "rustle swish" of turning pages could be heard. There were also faint sounds of inhaling, coughing, shaking feet, and twirling pens. All kinds of sounds came one after another.
Some candidates became even more anxious because of this atmosphere, and as a result their minds went blank and they had no idea where to start, so they simply gave up struggling.
Never mind, participation is what matters.
Sheng Beibei also put down the pen in her hand. She had finished all the questions and did not encounter any particularly difficult questions. It should be no problem for her to win the first prize in the provincial competition.
"Host, check it a few more times. Let's try to get full marks."
Snowball remembered the host's perfect score in the preliminary round. If he also got full marks in the preliminary round, final round, and IChO exam, he would definitely be famous all over the country, no, he would be famous all over the world!
"Okay." Sheng Beibei carefully checked the test paper again and calculated it carefully again.
If you get full marks, Snowball will be able to collect more energy, which is very helpful in breaking free from the control of the original plot.
When the hour and minute hands both pointed to 12 o'clock, the bell indicating the end of the exam rang on time.
The candidates immediately stopped writing, placed the test papers face up on the table, and left the examination room in an orderly manner.
Sheng Beibei walked quickly towards the school gate and met two classmates from the aristocratic school on the way.
They hung their heads, looking hopeless, like eggplants hit by frost.
Classmate A said quietly, "What the hell is that question about element A and its compounds? What exactly is element A?"
"I don't know either……"
"And the question where you have to draw the structural formula of the main product of the reaction based on the information." Student B shuddered. "It makes my scalp tingle. I don't understand what I have to draw at all."
Student A said with a sad face: "The finals are so difficult. It's really not that easy to get into Jingshi University."
"Even winning the provincial first prize and getting a few extra points in the college entrance exam seems to be a luxury." Classmate B howled a few times and cried while hugging Classmate A.
"Yeah, I can't even finish it! I'd better focus on preparing for the college entrance examination next year."
"Me too, woooo."
Just then, Sheng Beibei passed by them, and the two classmates suddenly looked over at them.
Sheng Beibei paused and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
"Beibei, you should have finished everything, right?" the two classmates said in unison.
Sheng Beibei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Can't they finish it?
"ah!"
The two students hugged each other and comforted each other. The boss is still the boss after all. It's really scary.
"I'm leaving now."
Sheng Beibei was thinking about her parents and Gu Yanchuan who were still waiting for her outside, so she didn't stay for long and walked towards the door.
From a distance, she saw her father holding an umbrella for her mother. Her mother smiled and waved at her. Gu Yanchuan stood aside with his hands in his pockets.
Sheng Beibei quickened his pace and walked towards them.
"Beibei!" Jiang Lanxue came over and gave Sheng Beibei a tight hug.
Sheng Chongren followed silently to shade his wife and daughter. Seeing that his daughter was in good spirits, he thought that she would have a good chance in the exam, and smiled with relief: "Beibei, you have worked hard."
"Dad, Mom."
Jiang Lanxue quickly let go of her, opened the thermos cup in her hand, and said softly, "Come, drink some water first."
"Xiaobei, have some more chocolate? Exams are so brain-demanding, this is just the right way to replenish your energy." Gu Yanchuan took out another chocolate bar and handed it to Sheng Beibei like he was presenting a treasure.
"Yanchuan," Sheng Beibei shook the chocolate bar, "your chocolate is very useful."
"Hehe." Gu Yanchuan scratched the back of his head. As long as it was helpful, he would prepare chocolates for the little girl every time she had an exam in the future. Hehe.
Jiang Lanxue looked at Gu Yanchuan and smiled softly, "Thank you, Yanchuan."
Gu Yanchuan waited with them for three whole hours. He was very well-behaved the whole time. Apart from his occasional silly smile, he didn't look like a dandy boy at all. Jiang Lanxue had a completely different impression of him.
"It's my duty, it's my duty." Gu Yanchuan was extremely shy.
Aunt Sheng smiles so gently. A son-in-law is half a son, and in the future she will also be his mother. That’s great.
It was already past noon, the sun was getting stronger, the ground was becoming scorching hot, and it seemed that boiling heat was slowly rising.
"Let's go back first?" Sheng Chongren suggested.
"Yes, Beibei, you must be hungry, right?" Jiang Lanxue took Sheng Beibei's hand and walked towards the car. Sheng Chongren consciously held an umbrella for them.
Glancing at Gu Yanchuan who was standing there stupidly, Sheng Chongren asked casually, "Gu family boy, do you want to come over and have dinner with us?"
How can I refuse the invitation from my future father-in-law?
Gu Yanchuan agreed decisively: "Okay~" and walked quickly forward and opened the car door attentively.
Hehe, does this count as going to the girl’s house to meet her parents?
Sheng Chongren: “…”Okay.
When they got in the car, Jiang Lanxue opened the fruits and snacks that she had prepared in advance.
"Beibei, why don't you eat something to fill your stomach first?"
"Thank you, Mom." Sheng Beibei felt warm in her heart and picked up a piece of strawberry and ate it in small bites.
Seeing that her parents and Gu Yanchuan were watching her eat, Sheng Beibei said, "Mom, Dad, Yanchuan, you guys eat too."
As she spoke, Sheng Beibei forked a piece of pineapple and handed it to her mother who was closest to her. Jiang Lanxue ate it with a smile and lovingly wiped the sweat from Sheng Beibei's forehead.
Gu Yanchuan was so hungry that his stomach was sticking to his back. Seeing that there were still a lot of snacks, he took a piece and put it in his mouth.
"It's delicious, Xiaobei, did you make this?"
“My mother made it herself.”
Gu Yanchuan kept nodding his head. It seemed that the little girl's good cooking skills were inherited from her aunt.
That’s great, he and his uncle are both lucky people.
