Chapter 12 Heartbeat like rain
"What happened to my deskmate?"
Chen Bailing asked, holding her chin.
On Tuesday, Class 1 and Class 2 have physical education class together.
As soon as the teacher asked them to run, Chen Bailing and Jiang Zhao sat on the spectator stands in the playground.
Jiang Zhao actually wanted to run, but unfortunately today was the first day of her period, and the slightest movement would cause bleeding. If possible, she didn't even want to come down from the teaching building.
Chen Bailing simply didn't want to move, so she just used this universal excuse.
Jiang Zhao: "What happened to him?"
Chen Bailing complained: "You didn't see it, after he saw the results last night, his face was as dark as if he was struck by lightning, I didn't dare to say anything."
Jiang Zhao recalled: "Didn't he do very well in the exam?"
She remembered that Chen Bailing's deskmate, Xiang Xingzhi, was in the top ten of their class.
Yesterday, Chen Bailing said that those sitting around her were all good students.
Chen Bailing: "Who knows?"
Yang Ziwen didn't go running either. He sat a little higher up, listening to the two people chatting, and interrupted: "Maybe their goal is to be in the top three or first?"
"I understand." Jiang Zhao said.
During the English morning reading this morning, Jiang Zhao received the English test paper that had been bothering her all day.
She got full marks in listening, essay correction and composition, but made mistakes in two cloze tests and two reading tests.
She spent a few minutes looking over the questions again and realized that they were all very simple. The answers were in the article, but when she was writing, it was as if she was blind and didn't see them.
So she also felt that she did not do well in the exam.
But if you say this to others, you will definitely be beaten to death.
"Aren't the top scorers and the top 100 all from Peking University and Tsinghua University?" Chen Bailing looked towards the playground. "I don't really understand you academic masters."
"You have to choose a major at Peking University or Tsinghua University." Yang Ziwen said, "We all want to study finance."
Chen Bailing: "Really? I don't want to. I want to apply for a new biography."
Yang Ziwen said, "Ask the class representative."
"Me?" Jiang Zhao held his chin. On the playground, the team ran to the position under the stands.
Jiang Zhao looked at the boy's tall figure and said, "I want to study mathematics."
Yang Ziwen: "God."
Chen Bailing: "Scared."

The day before Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was raining today, so the morning exercises were cancelled. After the second period of physics class, Wang Guoxiong came into the classroom and said lightly, "There's a joint exam for eight schools at the end of this month. After the exam, we'll have a parents' meeting to discuss your future study arrangements."
Notifying everyone of the exam right before the holiday obviously doesn't allow them to have a good holiday.
Wang Guoxiong left after he finished speaking. During the break, everyone lost interest in resting and started talking.
"Why another exam?"
"Eight schools joint entrance exam, which schools are they?"
"Our school, the Affiliated Middle School of Polytechnic University, Xincheng No. 1 Middle School..."
Lin Chongyang waved his hand and said, "The remaining schools are just there to make up the numbers."
As long as Mingyuan and the Affiliated High School of Science and Technology reach an agreement, other schools will naturally come along to see how many "reserves for Tsinghua and Peking University" they can snatch from these two "leading" schools this year.
Jiang Zhao asked, "Are the Affiliated High School of Polytechnic and Xincheng No. 1 High School any good?"
Pei Zhiyu was recruited by their school.
Chen Bailing: "You don't have to bring it to my school."
Chen Bailing attended Xincheng No. 1 Middle School in junior high school. However, in recent years, the number of students admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University in the high school department of Xincheng No. 1 Middle School is not even a fraction of that of Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School. The good students had already run to Mingyuan and the Affiliated Middle School of Science and Technology after the junior high school entrance examination.
For example, Chen Bailing herself.
"Oh." Jiang Zhao asked again: "Is there any good one in the High School Affiliated to the Polytechnic Institute?"
Luo Yan said calmly: "No one is as good as me."
Jiang Zhao was drinking water when he suddenly choked and started coughing: "What did you say?"
"I say." He glanced at her lightly: "You should think about how not to lose to me in the next exam, right?"
"I read the question wrongly." Jiang Zhao muttered.
"It's okay, I understand you." Lin Chongyang nodded at Jiang Zhao, looking like he had found a confidant.
He added, "But there are still some great people in science and engineering. I remember one with a particularly impressive name."
Lin Chongyang kept the question a secret, and Jiang Zhao, curious, asked, "Who is it?"
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Xingzhi, who had been lying on the table, suddenly turned around and yelled at Jiang Zhao, "Can you guys please stop talking?"
It was break time and the class was noisy. Xiang Xingzhi's shout stunned Jiang Zhao.
The classroom was silent for a moment, and then someone said, "What are you crazy about?"
Xiang Xingzhi rushed out with the book.
Lin Chongyang was still confused: "What happened to him? We didn't do anything, did we?"
Chen Bailing: "Maybe you're in a bad mood because of the exam?"
Lin Chongyang found it incredible: "It's just a monthly exam, is it really that serious?"
Chen Bailing nodded: "Something went wrong after the last exam."
Jiang Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Lin Chongyang was very experienced: "Forget it, do you think people would want to see you when they are worried about their grades?"
Jiang Zhao thought about it and it seemed to make some sense.
When the bell rang, Xiang Xingzhi returned to the classroom.
He sat in his seat, supporting his head with his right hand, slightly tilted towards the wall, looking completely refusing to communicate.
Even a social star like Chen Bailing didn't know what to say.
During the last self-study period, Wang Guoxiong came to the classroom again, handed out a table, and asked everyone to pass it around.
Jiang Zhao was in the last row of the fourth group, and by the time it was her turn, she had almost finished writing.
【Competition Registration Intention Form】
Jiang Zhao picked up mathematics: "Classmate, are you applying for physics, chemistry, and biology?"
Luo Yan shook his head. Jiang Zhao picked up a pen and marked Mathematics for him as well, then passed the registration form to Chen Bailing.
Chen Bailing took a quick glance, as if she saw something dirty, and pinched it with two fingers and threw it to Xiang Xingzhi.
The last student in the first row filled out the form and gave it to Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao took it to the office.
When school was over, the rain was still going on outside.
Jiang Zhao looked outside the teaching building. Luo Yan noticed her movements and asked, "Don't you have an umbrella?"
Jiang Zhao hesitated for a moment: "Yeah, I forgot the dormitory."
"I brought it, you can use mine."
Jiang Zhao didn't say anything. Luo Yan added: "You can take it back directly. Someone from my family is waiting for me at the station."
Jiang Zhao suddenly turned around and their eyes met. Luo Yan touched his nose guiltily, then heard the girl say happily, "That's great, thank you, deskmate."
Jiang Zhao said goodbye to several people in his class after the holiday, and then they left together.
The rain was pattering on the umbrella and the sky was getting dark.
Jiang Zhao looked at the barbed wire fence on the road behind the school and laughed.
Luo Yan tilted his head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhao smiled even more happily: "I was thinking, if someone wants to climb over the wall of our school, I'm afraid the risk factor is very high."
Luo Yan was amused by her wild idea: "What are you thinking about?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhao jumped over a small puddle. "Do you want to join the math competition training class?"
"Where are you from?"
"Our school."
When she went to submit the competition registration form, Wang Guoxiong told her that the school would organize competition training, but it would mainly target high school sophomores, and there would only be a few places available for each subject in the first year of high school.
Luo Yan turned his head to look at her: "No need to participate."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhao was a little confused.
He said: "The school training is just to get a place in the competition. The lectures will be very basic, so there is no need to go."
Mathematics competitions are divided into preliminaries, leagues and national competitions.
What they have to prepare for now is the preliminaries in October. Only by passing the preliminaries can they get tickets to participate in the official competition the following year.
The first round of the official competition is the provincial competition. The first and second prize winners in each province will be eligible for extra points in independent enrollment or admission, and can also join the provincial team for training and then participate in the national competition.
The top 60 in the national competition can be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University and join the national team training.
Finally, only six people were left to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad in August.
For example, when leveling up and fighting monsters, every time you defeat a boss, you will encounter a group of geniuses from other worlds and start the next copy.
Jiang Zhao nodded: "Okay, then if you don't go, I won't go either."
Luo Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl. They were very close, so close that he could feel the warmth from Jiang Zhao's body and see the fine hairs on her face.
As she spoke, she occasionally turned her head to look at him, and there was always a smile in her eyes.
The rain falls on the umbrella, making fine drumbeats.
Luo Yan touched his burning ears and heard his heartbeat like the sound of rain.
