Chapter 141, Chapter 12: The Academic Genius in Campus Novels
I'm going to die. I've been thinking too much, and my mind is starting to become unstable again.
Xu Qingzhou didn't even have a chance to say a word before she shut him up completely.
A few minutes later, Yu Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed, looking refreshed, and ate her meal.
She glanced at Xu Qingzhou, who was curled up in the blankets and refused to come out.
After thinking for a moment, I picked up a finger and poked the back of his exposed neck.
How long are you planning to cosplay as a caterpillar?
"hiss……"
Xu Qingzhou froze abruptly, shrinking his neck and burying himself even deeper.
"...Don't touch me."
A muffled voice, clearly annoyed, came from under the covers.
Seeing his ostrich-like expression, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but let out a short laugh.
Before he could react, he immediately fell silent, his tone low and somber.
"What? Now you can't even touch it?"
"..."
Xu Qingzhou choked.
I wish I could crack open her head and see what kind of nonsense is inside!
He simply sat up, his face dark, pulled her hand under the covers, and stared at her with wide eyes.
"Bang! You bang on it!"
Yu Wanwan paused for a moment, then actually smiled and touched him.
"You touched it, and then what?"
Xu Qingzhou shuddered and threw her hand away as if he had been electrocuted.
She hugged her legs, curled up at the head of the bed, her face buried in her knees and refusing to lift it.
"Yu, Wan, Wan! Do you think I'm dead?!"
He gritted his teeth, his anger barely concealed.
Her exposed neck and earlobes were a shade of pink.
His response was Yu Wanwan's light and cheerful laughter.
He gave her a chilly look, but she didn't hold back at all; in fact, she laughed even harder.
Xu Qingzhou gritted his teeth.
Let her be dramatic!
When she comes of age...
He's determined to get his revenge, with interest!
Once he had completely calmed down and his mind had cleared, Xu Qingzhou belatedly remembered the things he had forgotten.
"Xiao Wan, what do you take me for?"
It wasn't an interrogation, but curiosity.
In that instant, several blurry fragments flashed through his mind.
Although I couldn't see clearly, I was certain that those fragments were all of them.
The events depicted in the video are not much different from what just happened.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time she'd "sucked" into him.
Yu Wanwan hesitated for a few seconds before giving her answer.
"cat?"
"..."
Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat off.
When Xu Qingzhou saw the deep smile in her eyes and the trembling of her shoulders, he realized what was going on.
She's making things up to fool him again.
After laughing enough, Yu Wanwan patted his head.
"It's no use telling you now; you'll understand later."
"..."
Okay.
Xu Qingzhou didn't ask any more questions.
Two more days passed, and the exam results gradually came out.
The coach didn't rush to announce Yu Wanwan's results, saying he wanted to keep it a secret until the awards ceremony.
The final awards ceremony didn't keep them waiting too long.
The atmosphere inside the auditorium was both solemn and enthusiastic.
Compared to people from other provinces, people from Yunchuan were more concerned about whether Yu Wanwan could maintain her perfect score in all subjects.
Finally, the opening remarks ended, and all the awards were announced one by one.
Everyone held their breath.
"First Prize in the National High School Mathematics Olympiad: Lin Zhiyao from Yunnan Province! Second Prize: Gu Yun from Jiangxi Province! Third Prize: Xu Qingzhou from Yunnan Province!"
In this math exam, Yu Wanwan, Gu Yun, and Xu Qingzhou all got full marks.
However, Yu Wanwan maintained a perfect score from the preliminary rounds onwards, naturally securing the championship.
Xu Qingzhou lost more points than Gu Yun in the previous competitions, so he ranked behind Gu Yun in the overall rankings this time.
As for Boss Yang from Ming Province?
Unfortunately, he ranked behind Xu Qingzhou by one point.
"First Prize in the National High School Physics Olympiad: Lin Zhiyao from Yunnan Province! Second Prize: Sun Wei from Yunnan Province! Third Prize: Xu Qingzhou from Yunnan Province!"
Similarly, in physics, Xu Qingzhou's scores in the previous exams were slightly lower than Sun Wei's, so he could only get third place.
"National High School Chemistry Olympiad: First Prize, Yunnan Province - Lin Zhiyao! Second Prize, Ming Province - Yang Jiayou! Third Prize..."
Each time a name and score was announced, the audience erupted in incredulous gasps and thunderous applause.
Four subjects! All perfect scores! All ranked first in the country!
Besides her, there were others who got full marks.
For example, Xu Qingzhou performed better this time than ever before, achieving perfect scores in both mathematics and physics.
She was the only one who got full marks in all subjects.
The Yunnan-Sichuan provincial team has become accustomed to, or rather, numb to, her performance.
But it's different in other provinces.
This has exceeded everyone's imagination.
In other words, they wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!
The organizing committee chairman's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"The winner of the overall individual score in this year's National High School Subject Olympiad, and who also set an unprecedented record of perfect scores in all subjects, is..."
He paused, trying to calm himself down.
"Yunnan Province, Lin Zhiyao!"
The entire auditorium erupted in cheers!
No one pays attention to the winners of single-subject championships anymore.
Oh wait, she's also the single-subject champion!
No one cares who is in second or third place anymore.
He has maintained a perfect score in all subjects since the preliminary rounds, a brilliant achievement that is unprecedented!
It's enough to overshadow other equally brilliant people.
All the cameras were focused on the girl who slowly stood up.
Standing under the dazzling lights, the girl, who was the center of attention, still had that gentle, smiling demeanor.
This is completely different from the image of the great demon king that these people imagine.
Yu Wanwan didn't give a particularly original speech. She simply changed a few words from the speeches Lin Zhiyao remembered, finished her business, and then, holding the medal, she and Xu Qingzhou disappeared.
Looking at Yu Wanwan walking beside him as if nothing had happened, Xu Qingzhou smiled.
"Is it really a bad idea to just run away like this?"
Yu Wanwan snorted, her tone self-righteous.
"If we don't leave now, we'll be surrounded by reporters soon, and I don't have the patience to deal with them."
After thinking about the reporters he knew, Xu Qingzhou felt that she was right.
I felt perfectly justified in skipping the press conference with her afterwards.
So when the awards ceremony came to an end, the reporters rushed up and were dumbfounded to find the two seats already empty.
Regardless of whether Yu Wanwan gives an interview or not, she is destined to dominate the headlines for a long time to come.
Her identity, family background, appearance, and achievements have been discussed by countless netizens.
This discussion also brought Xu Qingzhou, who was almost inseparable from her, into the spotlight by netizens.
It was only then that they noticed another academic superstar overshadowed by her academic brilliance.
The labels of "golden couple" and "perfect match" were attached to them.
Ye Shutong saw it too.
Looking at the news and the netizens' enthusiastic discussion, she felt a pang of sadness and her eyes filled with melancholy.
She knew that person was already standing in a place she could never reach.
They are from two different worlds now.
She really should let go.
Putting away the news, Ye Shutong dialed her father's number.
"Dad, I want to study abroad."
Xu Qingzhou was unaware of Ye Shutong's decision.
After confirming that she was not Yu Wanwan, he stopped paying much attention to her.
I only check on her occasionally when I think of her to see if she needs any help.
Of course, even if there were problems, he never took the initiative to intervene; he only resolved those troubles for her in secret.
Apart from Yu Wanwan, no one else knew.
Someone had already taken up residence in his heart, making it impossible for him to give that girl any response.
Rather than maintaining the original owner's persona and giving her something to look forward to, it's better to just cut ties like this.
The more important thing now is the upcoming international competitions.
Both players received invitations to join the national team shortly after the results were announced.
Yu Wanwan's outstanding perfect scores in all subjects made her a shoo-in for the national teams in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology without any doubt.
They will represent the country in the upcoming international Olympic competitions.
Xu Qingzhou also achieved excellent results and was selected for both mathematics and physics.
Not only them, but Gu Yun, Sun Wei, and Yang Jiayou also received it.
When the news reached Yunchuan High School, the entire school was once again in an uproar.
The principal personally called to congratulate them, and bonuses poured in one after another.
Local media outlets, sensing the opportunity, rushed to interview the talented couple.
Unfortunately, the two had already packed their bags and headed to the national team training camp to report for duty.
Training base of the State General Administration of Sport.
The atmosphere here is different from the previous competition training camps.
They had lost some of the restlessness of students and gained more of the rigor and solemnity befitting a national-level team.
When Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou arrived, there were already quite a few people there.
There are new faces like Gu Yun, Sun Wei, and Yang Jiayou who have just emerged from the national competition.
There are also many veteran players with a calm and composed demeanor.
They stood in twos and threes, talking in hushed tones, their eyes sweeping over the new team members with curiosity and a hint of assessment.
Yu Wanwan, who scored full marks in all subjects, naturally became their primary focus of observation.
However, for some reason, no one has come over to say hello yet.
Upon seeing them, Sun Wei's eyes lit up immediately, and she ran over in a few quick steps.
"Lin Shen! You've finally arrived!"
She grabbed Yu Wanwan's arm, unable to suppress the joy and excitement in her eyes, and whispered some gossip to her.
"I heard that the coaching team this year is full of industry leaders and past gold medal coaches. I'm so nervous..."
Yu Wanwan smiled and spoke to her in a low voice, while Xu Qingzhou stood quietly beside her the whole time.
Soon, a middle-aged coach wearing the national team uniform and exuding a capable demeanor walked over.
"Welcome to the national training team, new members. I am one of your team leaders, my surname is Chen."
Team Leader Chen's sharp gaze swept over these new faces, and without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
"The fact that you can come here means that you are already at the top level among your peers in China, but here, all of that will be reset to zero."
Her words carried a heavy weight, causing the new team members, who initially had differing thoughts, to involuntarily straighten their backs.
Team Leader Chen was slightly satisfied. He glanced at Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou, who showed no particular reaction, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"This training camp is not your end, but your beginning. Everyone around you is your opponent in the final competition to represent the country. Whether you are an experienced veteran or a spirited newcomer, who will ultimately stand on the international stage will not be judged by past honors, but solely by your performance in every selection process to come!"
