Chapter 132, Part 3: The Academic Genius in Campus Novels
A burst of laughter erupted in the classroom.
Their eyes, which weren't well hidden, kept glancing in their direction.
There was no malice in their gazes; they were all filled with curiosity and ambiguous teasing.
Xu Qingzhou felt extremely uncomfortable, a flush rose to her face, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
Especially the person next to him, whose eyes were wide openly mocking him.
Xu Qingzhou gritted his teeth, pinched her under the desk, and nodded with a straight face.
The teacher then looked away and resumed the lesson.
"Alright, Xu Qingzhou's solution process is correct. Now let's go over..."
Xu Qingzhou didn't get distracted again after that.
At least not openly.
The day's classes passed by just like that, and before we knew it, it was time to go home.
Yunchuan High School has evening self-study sessions.
However, Lin's mother had already applied for Yu Wanwan to be exempt from evening self-study sessions.
She could run away first, but Xu Qingzhou couldn't.
The original owner's grades were indeed good, but not good enough to warrant the teacher giving him special treatment.
No matter how unwilling they were, they still had to attend evening self-study sessions obediently.
Xu Qingzhou felt a little reluctant to part with Yu Wanwan after seeing her off at the school gate.
What time are you coming to class tomorrow?
Despite having a serious expression, there was something strangely sticky about him.
Yu Wanwan sighed and waved to him.
Xu Qingzhou paused for a moment, then obediently leaned forward and lowered his head to lean closer.
Yu Wanwan glanced around and, when no one was paying attention, kissed him on the corner of the lips.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it touches and then disappears.
By the time Xu Qingzhou realized what was happening, she had already left the school gate, leaning on her crutches.
"Focus on your studies and stop thinking about all sorts of nonsense!"
Her smiling voice still lingered in my ears, and the warmth of that moment still lingered on my lips.
Xu Qingzhou raised his hand and touched it, his eyes fixed on her figure.
He chuckled softly only after she got into the car and disappeared from the school gate.
Saying one thing and meaning another.
I knew he wouldn't admit his mistake.
As a key high school, Yunchuan High School has almost every student who is a top student.
Especially the first four classes, everyone seemed to be on a high-energy spree when they were studying.
It's natural for teenagers to experience romantic feelings during puberty, but the strong academic atmosphere plays a much larger role.
The ambiguous relationship between Xu Qingzhou and Yu Wanwan only led to a few good-natured jokes between them.
They don't care about anything more.
Compared to such juicy gossip, they were more concerned about the upcoming monthly exam.
And, the competition selection that the school just announced.
The annual academic competition is about to begin again.
In previous years, such competitions had little to do with Class 3.
The main force representing Yunchuan in the competition is still Class 1 and Class 2.
Class 3 only has a few students, and occasionally they can manage to get a spot by working hard.
This time, however, the situation is different.
The first person that came to the minds of all the teachers was "Lin Zhiyao".
Although she had only transferred to this school less than a month ago.
However, her competition experience in her original province had already spread among the teachers at Yunchuan High School.
He is a recognized top prospect.
Sure enough, as soon as the notice came down, the teachers in charge of competition guidance from all subjects rushed to Class 3 one after another.
The main point is simple: to get her to participate in the competition.
Their attitude was enthusiastic, even bordering on obsequious.
Students who had participated in the competition didn't find it strange.
Those classmates who hadn't participated in the competition but had only heard them mention her occasionally finally gained a real understanding of her abilities.
These competition instructors are the kind of people who can hold their own even in front of the head of the teaching department.
And now they're treating her so well!
Is this what a true academic superstar is like?
Yu Wanwan herself, however, seemed rather uninterested.
To be honest, Yu Wanwan wasn't particularly interested in competitions.
Besides, her participation in this level of competition is simply an attempt to crush the competition, which is unfair to those kids.
However, she didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.
"Thank you, teacher, but my leg hasn't fully recovered yet. I'll think about it carefully."
After all, the original owner of this body was a competitive athlete.
She used someone else's body, so she didn't have to do any tasks or maintain any persona.
But no matter what, we can't let people live worse than before.
Xu Qingzhou, on the other hand, was the exact opposite.
As soon as the notice came in, he carefully studied the competition rules and the prize money amounts from previous years.
The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, national finals, and even international events.
The time span is as long as one year.
Of course, the rewards are also very generous.
Unfortunately, he couldn't wait that long.
However, before the preliminary rounds, there is a preliminary selection process like this, where representatives are selected from various schools to participate in the preliminary rounds, which are the provincial preliminary rounds.
Regardless of whether they pass the provincial preliminary round, as long as they pass the school's open selection.
The first place winner receives a scholarship of 10,000 yuan.
The second place winner gets 8,000 yuan, the third place winner gets 5,000 yuan, and the rest all get 3,000 yuan.
This bonus was awarded in Principal Yun Chuan's personal name.
The aim is to encourage everyone to participate in such knowledge competitions and bring honor to the school.
This amount of money may not seem like much, but it was a huge sum for the original owner's family.
At least, that was enough for him to persuade Xu's parents to let Xu Qinglan return to school.
Most importantly, he is only seventeen years old and cannot open a personal account yet.
Even if he had the ability to quickly accumulate funds through stock trading, he doesn't have the means to do so for the time being.
This competition is currently the fastest and most direct way for him to make money.
The competition schedule for each subject is different, which means that as long as you have the ability, you can register for several subjects at the same time.
Even reporting the entire report is no problem.
After much deliberation, Xu Qingzhou chose mathematics and physics, which he was most confident in.
But there are still concerns.
I glanced at the girl next to me, who was treated like a treasure by all the competition instructors.
He didn't actually know what her identity was in this world.
Judging from the attitude of those teachers, she must be incredibly arrogant.
At least in competitions, they are absolutely awesome.
"Student Lin."
Yu Wanwan looked up from her arms.
She had just taken a nap, and her eyes were still a little glazed over, and her hair was a bit messy.
"Um?"
Xu Qingzhou's Adam's apple bobbed, and he subconsciously reached out to rub the red mark pressed on her forehead.
"Are you very good at competitions?"
Perhaps because she had just woken up, Yu Wanwan didn't dodge; she even naturally rubbed against his palm.
"It's alright."
He exuded a lazy vibe.
Like a kitten taking a nap.
Xu Qingzhou momentarily forgot what he wanted to say.
The tip of my tongue instinctively pressed against my lower jaw.
This is terrible.
How can she be so well-behaved and cute?
I really want to kiss her.
I glanced at the few people scattered around the classroom doing their homework.
Xu Qingzhou ultimately refrained from doing anything in the classroom, suppressing his impulse.
After thinking for a while, I remembered what he originally wanted to say.
"I want to sign up for the competition, but I'm not sure if I'm good enough. Could you take a look?"
His own academic performance was also quite good.
However, he had never participated in a competition and did not know the difficulty level of the competition questions.
It's uncertain whether he can handle it.
Yu Wanwan had already come to her senses.
After a little thought, I understood his purpose.
Which subject do you want to take?
"Mathematics and Physics".
Yu Wanwan nodded and casually pulled two exam papers out of the desk and handed them to him.
"Let me write it down first."
After saying that, she buried her face in her arms again.
Xu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment when he looked at the neatly arranged test paper in his hand.
He often saw her scribbling and drawing on these papers during class.
I didn't look at it carefully before and thought it was homework handed out by the teacher.
But now, looking at these questions, it's clear that they are much more difficult than what we learned in class.
Xu Qingzhou didn't disturb Yu Wanwan's rest. He picked up his pen and began writing on the test paper.
Xu Qingzhou is also very fast at completing the homework assigned in class.
The answer was almost immediately apparent after reading the question.
There's no need for draft paper.
But this time, he was much slower.
A problem requires a long period of thought, and the draft paper is already densely covered with verification formulas.
Every now and then, a classmate would tiptoe past and glance over unintentionally, but no one would bother them.
It wasn't until the last class of the afternoon that Xu Qingzhou finally managed to finish two papers and hand them in.
Yu Wanwan didn't rush to leave; she leaned back in her chair and quickly scanned the exam papers.
Perhaps because he is currently a student, his handwriting is very neat.
Yu Wanwan read very quickly, and within a few minutes she had circled a lot of things on the test paper.
I returned the test paper to him.
Xu Qingzhou carefully examined the content she had circled, quickly calculating in his mind, a hint of doubt in his brows.
Before he could even ask, Yu Wanwan had already spoken up to answer his question.
"The solution process is indeed correct, and the answer is also correct, but this is not competitive thinking."
"Competitive mindset?"
Xu Qingzhou's doubts deepened.
The steps are clear, and the answer is correct. Isn't that enough?
"Of course not enough."
Yu Wanwan crossed her arms and leaned back in her seat.
"The competition assesses not only accuracy, but also efficiency, skills, and the breadth and depth of thinking."
His eyes were smiling, but his tone was unusually serious.
Xu Qingzhou looked at the exam paper thoughtfully.
Yu Wanwan didn't say much.
She knew his level all too well.
The reason he hasn't figured it out yet is simply because this is a field he has never been exposed to before.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Wanwan took out several notebooks and exercise books from her bag and pushed them in front of him.
"I'll give you three days to fully digest what's in here."
Xu Qingzhou took it and flipped through a few pages.
The handwriting inside was very delicate, completely different from her unrestrained and flamboyant handwriting.
He paused for a moment, then looked up.
"This is……"
"My notes are all about basic knowledge, perfect for you to get started."
She emphasized my words a bit too much.
Xu Qingzhou immediately realized that this was a notebook written by Lin Zhiyao.
The real Lin Zhiyao.
Just as she was about to leave with her backpack, something suddenly flashed through Xu Qingzhou's mind.
Instinct beats thought.
He reached out and grabbed the strap of her backpack, stopping her from leaving.
Yu Wanwan turned around in confusion.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Qingzhou himself was also quite confused.
I always felt that he had forgotten something very important.
But what exactly is it?
"Tsk."
The students who had gone to eat were gradually returning to the classroom.
Yu Wanwan was getting a little impatient.
"Hurry up and tell me! I don't attend evening self-study sessions!"
