The next day
Xingchen High School Gymnasium
There are Xia Mang and Huang Xia from Xingchen High School, Lu Fengting and Zhong Yuan from Nangao Middle School, Qian Zixuan from Experimental High School, and Sun Zhi from the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
"As we participate in the Provincial Mathematical Olympiad this time, you must remember one thing: you are excellent, but there are many who are better than you, so you cannot slack off! From the school exam to the municipal exam, your journey has not been easy, but you have always won. The teacher also hopes that you can continue to win like this. Of course, besides the exams, the most important thing is your mentality. No one in this world has a smooth sailing. There will be setbacks, failures, sweat, and tears, but never give in or become decadent, and only then will you live up to the courage and perseverance that has brought you all this way."
“No one knows whether they have won or lost in this life until the day they die. So what matters is not the result, but the beautiful scenery along the way.”
"So, you should know what to do now!"
"Open-book exams are beneficial; participation is key! Advancing is a testament to our abilities. If we fail, we can start all over again. Life is long, so losing once is no big deal!"
This was the first time after Xia Mang returned to China that he heard his school teacher say that test scores were not important, but participation was what mattered.
"I hope you can keep a calm mind and test your true level to see if you can do it!"
"able!"
"That's good!"

Xia Mang and Lu Fengting walked out of the gymnasium side by side, "It feels quite different!"
"What's different?" Lu Fengting felt that Xia Mang was really interesting sometimes, and would occasionally say something without a beginning or an end.
"I took part in Xingchen's monthly exam right after I returned to China. I remember when the scores first came out, our homeroom teacher kept reminding us about our grades. Then, before the second monthly exam, our homeroom teacher threatened us with what would happen if we didn't do well. But this time...he was mainly encouraging us, with a more positive attitude as a secondary consideration!"
Lu Feng stopped and looked at the confused little girl, feeling helpless. How could she be so easily fooled?
"Well, back home, it's called giving a sweet date after a good hammer. Actually, the competition teacher had already tuned our strings long before this! The team leader was just worried that our strings were too tight, so he came to comfort us."
Xia Mang: ...
"Haha, so there are such rules for exams! But my competition teacher didn't say that!"
Huang Xia, who had caught up with them at this time, rolled her eyes and continued, "Who said he didn't say it? He just didn't tell you!"
"Why?"
"He said, Xia Mang! Her attitude doesn't need to be correct, her attitude is already very correct. As long as she performs normally, she will definitely be a member of the national team!" Huang Xia imitated the competition teacher and repeated his words.
"Forehead……"
Lu Fengting felt that Xia Mang's embarrassed expression was like a ragdoll cat: What are you saying? I don't understand, I don't understand!
"What are you three doing there? Get in the car!" Xingchen's team leader Li Li felt helpless when he saw the three of them chatting there. These three people all had high IQs, so he couldn't scold them, he could only remind them!
This time, the cars that took Xia Mang and the others to the exam were from the Xingchen faction. There were three cars in total, all similar to nanny cars, much better than the bus last time!
Xia Mang pulled Lu Fengting and Huang Xia to the first car, which made the two teachers behind feel helpless.
"Teacher Lan, let's take the second car! The first one is already occupied by the three of them!"
Teacher Lan said helplessly, "These three little guys seem to have a good relationship!"
Teacher Li took a sip of water and said uncertainly, "Perhaps geniuses have some common language. I just can't understand this!"
Teacher Lan also took out a bottle of mineral water and said, "I don't understand it either, but they are truly the best among their peers."

Xia Mang took out two boxes from his schoolbag, handed one to Lu Fengting and the other to Huang Xia, "Look, these are gifts for you two, to celebrate our chance to level up and fight monsters together!"
"What is it?" Huang Xia couldn't wait to open the box. "Wow! Xia Mang, junior sister, you are the best person I know, bar none. I declare that from today on, you are my biological sister! If anyone bullies you in the future, tell me!"
Xia Mang whimpered in disdain, "Come on, I really should take a picture of you so they can see how obsessed a college bully is with games!"
"Oh, I'm not someone who has an idol burden. Go ahead and take the photo. As long as you give me the latest version of the game console in the future, I can pose for you. How about that?"
"Ha!" Xia Mang was defeated by Huang Xia's shamelessness.
She decided to find Lu Fengting, who looked cold but had a warm heart, to cleanse her soul. "Lu Fengting, open it and see if you like it!"
Hearing that it was time to see Lu Feng's gift, Huang Xia also put down her beloved game console, but he still couldn't change his habit of interrupting, "Hey, schoolmate, you didn't give Lu Xueshen a game console too, did you?"
Xia Mang didn't want to pay attention to him for the time being, but he didn't care. "Hurry up, open it, let me take a look!"
Lu Feng stopped and looked at Xia Mang, who smiled and nodded.
The moment he opened the gift box, Lu Fengting saw a mysterious purple color, but before he could figure it out, the box was completely opened.
"A watch!" Huang Xia yelled, "Junior, isn't this discriminatory treatment? You didn't even give me a watch!"
Xia Mang stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the game console, and I'll buy you a new watch!"
"Hehehe, just kidding, just kidding, junior sister, don't take it so seriously! I'm just saying it, I swear I'm absolutely not jealous."
"Oh!"
Lu Fengting didn't listen to what they were saying, but kept staring at the watch.
He has always had a good memory and good eyesight, so when he saw this watch, his first reaction was the one on Xia Mang's hand.
The watch on Xia Mang's hand has a silver-white background with light purple edges. The middle pointer is also mainly silver, with light purple edges, and there are a few light purple patterns on the dial.
The one on his hand has a black base with dark purple around the dial. There is no pattern on the dial, but it looks very similar at first glance.
Could this similarity make him think a little more? Just a little.
"Hey, Lu Fengting, why don't you take it with you? Don't you like it?" Xia Mang frowned slightly. She only thought it was suitable for him but didn't think about whether he liked it or not.
Lu Feng stopped and looked up at Xia Mang after hearing her words. It was the first time he knew that there was someone in this world whose eyes and brows could touch his heart, and her slight frown would make his heart ache slightly.
"No, I love it!"
"Then I'll put it on you!" Xia Mang took the watch from Lu Fengting's wrist, pulled his left hand towards her, and paused for a few seconds. "Are you used to wearing it on your right or left hand?"
"I can do anything!"
"Then I'll wear it on my left hand. I wear it on my left hand too. I need to write with my right hand, and it's uncomfortable for the strap to get stuck on my hand."
"good!"
