Chapter 137, Chapter 8: The Academic Genius in Campus Novels
Banners were hung up on campus to cheer on the competition.
The intensity of the courses in the competition class increased dramatically.
The teachers in charge of the competition class are stationed in the office almost all day long, ready to answer questions at any time.
Xu Qingzhou quickly adjusted his mindset, temporarily suppressing the chaotic emotions at home, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the final sprint.
He methodically went through the extremely difficult problem sets that Yu Wanwan had given him, repeatedly studying the essence of the notes.
The only one who hasn't changed is Yu Wanwan.
She remained an outsider, detached from the tense atmosphere.
Teacher Liu couldn't stand her carefree and leisurely manner, so without saying a word, he grabbed her and made her a volunteer to answer students' questions.
Yu Wanwan was a little unwilling, but she couldn't resist Teacher Liu's persistent demands.
He would block her everywhere all day long, making her wish she could just climb over the wall and leave.
In the end, she had no choice but to reluctantly come and help.
Yu Wanwan is a very good teacher.
What she said was always concise and easy to understand.
She embodied the principle of "teaching according to aptitude" to the fullest extent.
In a short period of time, thanks to her help, the students in the competition class improved their scores by several points.
Teacher Liu was absolutely laughing her head off at this.
The students who received her guidance held her in a deep-seated adoration.
She's so strong that it doesn't even inspire jealousy; all that's left is endless admiration.
She's not just a top student, she's a genius!
This is a common thought among all the students in the competition classes.
On the day of the preliminary round, the area outside the examination hall was packed with top students from high schools all over the city, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Xu Qingzhou took a deep breath, checked the two's admission tickets and stationery, and only after confirming that everything was in order did he say goodbye to Yu Wanwan and head towards his own examination room.
He and Yu Wanwan were not in the same examination room.
"Don't be nervous, just treat it like you're doing practice problems."
Xu Qingzhou turned his head and met her eyes, which were rippled with emotion. His heart calmed down unconsciously.
"Um."
He nodded and licked his lips.
"What about you? Aren't you nervous?"
Yu Wanwan snorted, as if she had heard a joke.
"Do I need to be nervous?"
"..."
Just think about her terrifying strength.
Okay, I don't need it.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Wanwan stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and patted his head.
"Your academic genius has bestowed a halo upon you, go in!"
"..."
After glancing around, Xu Qingzhou quickly bent down and kissed her on the lips.
"This is the true aura of a top student!"
He didn't linger and quickly ran towards the examination hall.
Yu Wanwan stood there, touched her lips, and after a long while, smiled meaningfully before leisurely going to her own examination room.
The exam bell rang, and the exam papers were distributed.
Xu Qingzhou quickly glanced at the questions and felt reassured.
The difficulty was much higher than the school selection process, but it was still far below the practice sets that Yu Wanwan gave him.
He calmed himself down, and his pen flew across the exam paper, his thoughts flowing smoothly and clearly.
The competitive mindset that I once found difficult to understand now seems to have become instinctive.
In another examination room, Yu Wanwan answered questions at an astonishing speed.
Almost without thinking, the answer and steps are already formed in my mind after reading the question, and I write them down smoothly.
I even found it a bit boring.
His relaxed and carefree demeanor drew frequent glances from the proctors.
I couldn't help but walk over to her.
When you see that she didn't even use scratch paper, and her handwriting was so elegant and flowing, it really showed what it means to solve problems in a creative way.
The proctor couldn't help but do the calculations in his mind as well.
But often, before he could even finish the calculation, she had already started working on the next problem.
After he finished calculating, he checked the answers and found that there wasn't a single wrong answer.
The proctor was dejected and returned to the podium, starting to question his life.
Competitions allow students to submit their papers early, and before half the exam time had passed, Yu Wanwan had already gotten up and left the exam room.
This caused the students who were still buried in their calculations in the exam room to widen their eyes and feel anxious.
It took a few words of reassurance from the proctor to calm them down, but they still showed some impatience when doing the questions.
The proctor shook his head.
It's truly unfortunate for these students to encounter such a pervert.
When Xu Qingzhou finished his exam and came out, Yu Wanwan had already ordered food in the cafeteria.
She didn't just order for herself and Xu Qingzhou; she also ordered one for each of the classmates from Yunchuan High School.
After the meal, a group of students surrounded Yu Wanwan, looking at her expectantly.
Under the fierce gazes of those menacing eyes, Yu Wanwan subconsciously pulled the food closer to her chest.
"?"
What are you doing?
She's already full!
Xu Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated, and patted her head.
"Shall we check the answers?"
"..."
Oh, we're checking the answers! You should have said so earlier!
Yu Wanwan didn't hide anything and quickly gave the answer.
These people who are able to participate in the competition are all top students among top students.
Although I may not remember some of the more difficult questions, I still remember the answers.
They had great faith in Yu Wanwan, and for a time, some were happy while others were sad.
Xu Qingzhou, on the other hand, relaxed completely.
His answer was exactly the same as hers; there wasn't a single difference.
Looks like this time it's a sure thing.
Now we'll see if the preliminary rounds will still deduct points for certain steps, just like the school selection process.
The math and physics exams were on the same day; math was in the morning, and physics was in the afternoon.
After lunch and checking the answers, those who weren't participating in the physics competition went back to school on the school bus.
Those who were going to participate in the physics competition went to the classroom that had been reserved for them to take a lunch break.
In the next exam, Yu Wanwan was just as quick, handing in her paper only halfway through the exam.
Xu Qingzhou only took math and physics classes. After that day, he returned to school and continued his classes.
Yu Wanwan, on the other hand, took the exam for three consecutive days.
There's no way around it, she's an all-rounder.
Over the course of three days, the proctors had become quite familiar with her.
Some students who had also registered for more than one subject, and even those who had taken the exam in the same room as her several times, had become numb to it all.
This person is not human at all; they always manage to hand in their paper well in advance.
I don't know if she's genuinely amazing or just filled it out randomly.
A month later, the preliminary results were released.
Unsurprisingly, Yu Wanwan's name was at the top of the city's list.
A perfect score in all subjects, ranking first by a wide margin.
Such outstanding results shocked the entire high school competition circle in the city.
The name Lin Zhiyao is familiar to anyone who frequently participates in competitions.
But what drove them crazy was that although this person had won championships before, his scores had never been this breathtaking!
Look at us now!
Perfect score in all subjects!
Are you trying to kill us?
What made them even more desperate was that, in addition to the familiar name Lin Zhiyao, another name was following closely behind.
Xu Qingzhou.
He wasn't as unreasonable as Yu Wanwan.
I only took the math and physics exams.
But he also got full marks in both of these subjects.
She firmly holds the top spot in both subjects, tying for first place with Yu Wanwan.
They left the top-seeded players from other prestigious universities far behind!
Yunchuan High School was in an uproar.
Yu Wanwan is already a star descended from heaven, and now Xu Qingzhou is added to the list!
The science teachers were overjoyed and practically wept tears of joy; they were practically walking on air.
Teacher Zhou couldn't stop smiling and praised Class 3's good feng shui to everyone she met.
The homeroom teacher of Class One, who almost got Yu Wanwan's prize money, was extremely annoyed to see the prize money that should have belonged to her fly into Teacher Zhou's pocket.
Looking at the two names side by side on the report card, Xu Qingzhou felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
He looked down at the girl standing beside him, his eyes gentle.
"How was it? Did you embarrass your junior teacher?"
Yu Wanwan pursed her lips and glanced at him from head to toe.
"It's alright!"
Xu Qingzhou smiled and habitually patted her head.
I walked side by side with her into the classroom.
He didn't notice that in the corner of the bulletin board, a girl was watching their departing figures with a forlorn expression.
Yu Wanwan did notice.
Unfortunately, she didn't care.
Ye Shutong looked at her with a complicated gaze, but without any malice.
Yu Wanwan was too lazy to care about her.
In any case, the events that happened to the Ye family in the story can never be repeated.
She doesn't need to meddle in other people's business.
The brilliant results in the preliminary rounds were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, and the ripples spread rapidly.
With the unexpected powerhouse duo of Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou, Yunchuan High School has become the most eye-catching dark horse in this competition.
It wasn't just the two of them.
Despite those impressive results, Yun Chuan High School also admitted several more students.
There were ten competition slots in each group, and at least four or five students made it in.
This is an unprecedented achievement!
Their prowess even overshadowed several traditionally strong schools in competitive sports.
The principal waved his hand and immediately doubled the prize money for the students who passed the preliminary round.
With the bonus from the city government, Xu Qingzhou's wallet immediately swelled up.
Although this amount of money is nothing to him.
But for the original owner's family, it was already a huge sum of money.
Now, not only his university tuition fees are secured, but Xu Qinglan's future tuition fees are also covered.
Besides, he's almost an adult.
Once he reaches a certain age, this money can become his start-up capital, growing steadily and ever larger.
With a bright future ahead, Xu Qingzhou felt completely at ease and immersed himself even more intently in his studies.
He initially participated in the competition because he was short of money.
But now, after this preliminary round, he has found enjoyment in it.
Perhaps, he could change his path in the future, stop doing business, and try to develop in academia?
As for Yu Wanwan, she didn't care about these results at all.
If she can't even achieve this much, then she's lived in vain.
Under the guidance of these two individuals, the teachers in the competition group gradually focused their attention and became even more prepared.
They secured the best resources for the students who passed the preliminary rounds, and the intensity of the training camp was upgraded once again.
It not only offers targeted breakthroughs in specific topics, but also includes a large number of mock exams and psychological training exercises.
Xu Qingzhou was like a sponge, frantically absorbing all knowledge.
Yu Wanwan remained the same as before, wandering around here and there all day long.
Occasionally, they would stand in for the competition teachers and go on stage to explain the problems and answer questions for the students below.
All the students in the competition classes were tormented by the practice problems that Yu Wanwan would occasionally throw at them when she was in a good mood.
On the eve of the provincial civil service exam, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The students from Yunchuan High School who participated in the competition all showed expressions of relief.
Oh my god!
The exams are finally here!
Finally, I don't have to be tortured by those insane questions from top students anymore!
