"The list is out!"
"I'm so nervous."
"Why should I be nervous? I can't get in anyway."
Hang Ling walked into the classroom with a piece of paper. Without keeping anyone in suspense, he directly read out the names and the total score ranking of the top fifteen students.
Cen Huaian's name was read out first. Although his scores fluctuated, he took the first place more often, so he was still the first in the overall ranking.
A few people showed disappointment on their faces. They always felt that it was okay for them to fall out of the top fifteen a few times in the exam, but the overall ranking would not lie.
After the list was determined, the first round of training ended. The selected players waited to participate in the second round of training, when six of the fifteen players would be selected to participate in the IMO competition.
It was still early for the second round of intensive training, and Cen Huaian had not started school yet, so he went to see Grandpa Jiang every day.
Grandpa Jiang's health gradually improved under everyone's care, but his illness this time also scared the young people.
After Grandpa Jiang's physical examination, Jiang Shengnan and Cen's father returned to the retirement home, but they still came to Grandpa Jiang's house every day.
And Uncle Jiang and others came more frequently.
Chuxia suddenly remembered something, she turned around and asked Jiang Zhida: "Have you told Zhiyi about Grandpa's illness?"
Jiang Zhida was peeling apples, preparing to soak them in hot water for Grandpa Jiang to eat, and he stiffened when he heard it.
"No, I was too worried about Grandpa at that time, so I forgot."
Jiang Zhida frowned and said, "Second uncle and second aunt should tell her."
Chuxia: "I think they probably didn't. Otherwise, Zhiyi would not have returned to the capital."
Jiang Zhida's brows tightened even more. In fact, this news should be told to Jiang Zhiyi by Jiang's second uncle and his wife. No matter who else said it, it would be inappropriate to bypass her parents.
Jiang Zhida always said what he wanted to say. He looked directly at Jiang's second uncle: "Second uncle, have you told Zhiyi about Grandpa's illness?"
Jiang's second uncle and Zhou Huaying were stunned. Since they often couldn't contact Jiang Zhiyi, they had less and less contact with her.
As soon as Grandpa Jiang fell ill, the two of them became busy all of a sudden, and even forgot to tell Jiang Zhiyi.
"I... I was so busy that I forgot." Jiang Ershu rubbed his head and said.
Zhou Huaying frowned: "Now that Dad is well, there is no need to tell Zhiyi anymore. She is so busy in Guangzhou that she doesn't contact her parents much."
Her words were full of resentment.
Jiang Dashu and Jiang Shengnan frowned when they heard it. Grandpa Jiang was basking in the sun at the door. Hearing the words inside, he said: "I am well now. There is no need to let Zhiyi come back."
His words were final, and the people in the room stopped arguing.
However, when Jiang Zhida went to Guangzhou, he still told Jiang Zhiyi the news that Grandpa Jiang was ill.
"Why didn't anyone tell me!"
Jiang Zhiyi was very angry and immediately went back to the house to pack her things and buy a plane ticket to go home.
"Grandpa doesn't want you to go back now."
Jiang Zhida followed Jiang Zhiyi into the room, watching her pack her suitcase, and advised her with a headache.
Jiang Zhiyi raised her head suddenly, her face full of tears: "Brother..." She sniffed: "Grandpa is so good to me. If I don't go back when he is sick, am I still a human being?"
Qian Ran saw Jiang Zhiyi crying uncontrollably, and squatted down anxiously to hug her: "Let's go back to Beijing, I will accompany you back to Beijing."
"Yes!"
Jiang Zhiyi packed her luggage and immediately set out to buy a plane ticket.
There were no more tickets for that day, and she was so anxious: "Do we have to wait another day?"
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyi wished she could grow two wings and fly to Beijing. She couldn't wait even a moment, let alone a day.
"Don't cry, I'll find a way."
Some people would refund their tickets, and there were scalpers selling tickets.
Not long after Qian Ran went out, he got two tickets to Beijing.
"The flight is at 1pm, let's go eat something first?"
Jiang Zhiyi was in a bad mood at the moment. She didn't cry for a moment, but she didn't have an appetite to eat.
"I don't want to eat."
But Jiang Zhiyi didn't eat in the morning. Jiang Zhida couldn't bear Qian Ran's good-natured discussion, so he pulled Jiang Zhiyi up and said, "Do you want to starve yourself to death by not eating?"
He dragged her away, and Qian Ran hurriedly followed: "Brother, go slowly."
Jiang Zhida looked at Qian Ran with hatred: "You can just stay with her."
Qian Ran smiled at Jiang Zhida, stretched out his hand and held Jiang Zhiyi's hand without saying anything.
But his performance made Jiang Zhida very satisfied, proving that his sister did not find the wrong person.
Jiang Zhida's work in Yangcheng was not completed, so only Jiang Zhiyi and Qian Ran returned to Beijing.
When they arrived in Beijing, they did not go back to their own homes first, but went directly to Grandpa Jiang's home.
Today was not a workday, and there was no one else in Grandpa Jiang's home except Jiang Shengnan and Mr. Cen.
Jiang Zhiyi could not remember her parents at this moment. When she saw Grandpa Jiang lying on the recliner, she threw away Qian Ran's hand and hugged Grandpa Jiang and cried.
"Grandpa!"
She cried so hard that she could not speak completely. Grandpa Jiang patted her back gently, like when she was a child: "Don't cry, don't cry, Grandpa, it's okay!"
Jiang Shengnan did not come forward, but pulled Grandpa Jiang out to give space to Jiang Zhiyi and Grandpa Jiang.
After Jiang Zhiyi vented her emotions, she wiped her face embarrassedly and sat down.
"Come and wash your face. Your eyes are swollen from crying."
Jiang Shengnan took Jiang Zhiyi's hand and gently led her to the bathroom.
"Aunt." Jiang Zhiyi hadn't seen Jiang Shengnan for a long time. Suddenly she was crying when she saw her. Jiang Zhiyi looked embarrassed.
Jiang Shengnan touched her head, knowing what she was thinking, and didn't care: "Actually, your grandfather didn't expect you to come back. But I can see that he is very happy that you are back."
Jiang Zhiyi said "hmm" and washed her face with water. Jiang Shengnan handed her a towel.
Jiang Zhiyi had never been treated so gently by the elders. Her mother was a lady from a wealthy family and didn't know how to take care of children. She and her brother had been self-reliant since they were young.
She took the towel with a slightly red face, wiped her face and said, "Aunt, I can do it myself."
Jiang Shengnan laughed heartily: "Why are you being polite to Aunt, come and apply some cream, otherwise your face will be dry."
When Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Shengnan came out again, Jiang Zhiyi's eyes were still a little red, and there was no trace of her crying.
Qian Ran hurriedly stood up and made room for Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Shengnan to sit, with a relieved expression on his face.
If Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Shengnan came later, the fact that he and Jiang Zhiyi were in love would be exposed by Grandpa Jiang.
The thoughts of the younger generation could not be hidden in Grandpa Jiang's eyes. Grandpa Jiang saw clearly the worried and anxious expression of Qian Ran when Jiang Zhiyi cried just now.
So as soon as Jiang Zhiyi and the others left, Grandpa Jiang started chatting with Qian Ran, and as they were talking, Qian Ran was tricked into knowing that he and Jiang Zhiyi were in love.
In fact, Qian Ran would not be so careless normally, but Grandpa Jiang was the elder and the grandfather of his beloved. When
he was a child, he often followed Jiang Zhida to Grandpa Jiang's house, and Grandpa Jiang treated him very well, so he lost his guard.
However, the Jiang family would know about this sooner or later, so Qian Ran's mentality was calm and he was not very nervous.
Jiang Zhiyi sat down, and the first thing Grandpa Jiang said was: "Zhiyi has grown up and has a partner."
Jiang Zhiyi was shocked and almost jumped up. She turned to look at Qian Ran, asking him what he had said to her grandfather.
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said: "You don't have to look at Xiaoran. You two just came in. It's hard to hide it."
Jiang Zhiyi hugged Grandpa Jiang's arm and begged him not to tell her parents first.
"Grandpa, you know, if my parents knew that I found a partner, it wasn't them who helped me find it, no matter whether Xiaoran is a good person or a bad person, they will definitely make us break up."
This is what Zhou Huaying would do.
"How is Xiaoran treating you?"
Jiang Zhiyi blushed and nodded: "Very good."
She talked about what Qianran had done for her, and the time when she was in a hurry to take the plane back and Qianran bought the ticket.
Grandpa Jiang listened, looked at Qianran and nodded, "You are good."
He turned his gaze to Jiang Zhiyi again: "Xiaoran is such a motivated child with a harmonious family and good character. Your parents don't like him, so they don't need to like you either. Grandpa
is the one who agrees that you can be together." In fact, Qianran grew up under the care of Grandpa Jiang, and he knew him inside out. Grandpa Jiang knew him very well. He was a child with good character, and he was not dissatisfied.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at Qianran quietly, and he happened to look at her. The two looked at each other and smiled sweetly. The love recognized by the parents became even sweeter.
When Chuxia knew that Jiang Zhiyi had returned, she and Qian Ran had already returned for several days. When
Jiang Zhiyi saw Chuxia, she also ran over to give her a big hug: "Cousin, I miss you so much!"
Chuxia patted her back: "If you miss us, come back to Beijing often."
Jiang Zhiyi let her go, with helplessness on her face: "Cousin, you know I can't do it."
"Do your parents know that you are back?"
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head: "They don't know yet, I live in my grandfather's house."
Jiang Zhiyi didn't come back to Beijing for several years. Now that she is back, she just wants to accompany Grandpa Jiang for a few days and doesn't want to leave so soon.
She asked for half a month's leave because the old man at home was sick, and the newspaper is not an unkind unit.
As for Jiang Zhiyi's work, her sudden leave this time will definitely have an impact when she returns.
But Jiang Zhiyi can't care so much now. In front of her grandfather's health, work must give way.
Chuxia showed worry in her eyes: "Today is Sunday, your parents should come."
Jiang Zhiyi said nonchalantly: "Come if you want, I'm not afraid of them now."
She has the support of her grandfather, and money will certainly help her. If she doesn't go home, her parents want to use the old trick to lock her up. It's impossible.
Chuxia is not as optimistic as Jiang Zhiyi. But Jiang Zhiyi has decided that Chuxia will not interfere with her.
Cen Huaian now has a heavier workload, because they will be promoted to the third year of high school next year, so they are desperately trying to catch up with the progress this semester. They also have to learn the new knowledge of the third year of high school first, leaving enough time for review in the third year of high school.
Therefore, Cen Huaian went to Grandpa Jiang's house, talked to Grandpa Jiang for a while, and then went to the study to do exercises.
In addition to doing the new test papers issued by the school, he also did various Olympiad questions that Teacher Jiang found for him, including the IMO test questions in previous years.
Cen Huaian knew that Teacher Jiang had a status in the Olympiad, but he could find so many papers, some of which were place names that Cen Huaian had never heard of. He felt that Teacher Jiang was indeed very powerful.
There were many people in the living room outside, and Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian also came to the study. One of them was reading a medical book, and the other was holding a blank paper and continuing to calculate.
Later, Jiang Zhishu and Luo Peng also came in.
Luo Peng smiled at Chu Xia who was looking at him and said, "It's a bit chaotic outside."
"Where's Xixi?"
"She's having fun with Lulu and the others. She also wanted to play with An'an, but I said that An'an was studying and she couldn't disturb him, so she didn't look for him."
Luo Peng lowered his voice and said to Chu Xia with a doting smile on his face.
Although Jiang Weixi was a little naughty sometimes, she didn't learn bad habits. She was cute and smart. Luo Peng always thought that she was the greatest treasure God had given her.
Chu Xia also smiled. She also liked Xixi.
The two didn't talk anymore and read their own books.
"Bang!" A heavy sound of something falling to the ground was heard outside. Chu Xia and Cen Zheng looked up at the same time, with the same confusion in their eyes: What happened outside?
Even Cen Huaian put down his pen and followed him out of the study.
However, as soon as they reached the door, they heard a shocked and angry voice: "Jiang Zhiyi! Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes!"
"Zhiyi, you have disappointed me and your mother so much." The voice of Jiang Erjiu rang out afterwards.
Jiang Zhiyi: "It was because of you that I didn't tell you that I was back."
Chu Xia and the others walked out and saw the confrontation between Jiang Zhiyi and Jiang Erjiu and his wife outside.
Others were persuading him, and Qian Ran was even more protective of Jiang Zhiyi.
Zhou Huaying was so angry that she had to maintain her elegance. She directly scolded Jiang Zhiyi: "I think you really don't want me and your father anymore. Well, if you want to sever ties with us, I'll help you in front of everyone!"
"Huaying, don't say angry words." Jiang Shengnan hurriedly advised.
Grandpa Jiang also said: "Huaying, I asked Zhiyi not to tell you first. I want her to stay here for a few more days. Don't be angry with her."
"Dad, can you stop protecting her?"
Zhou Huaying didn't appreciate it at all and forced Jiang Zhiyi to speak. Just
as she was about to speak, Qian Ran pulled her.
In fact, Chuxia could understand Zhou Huaying's anger. She was originally angry because Jiang Zhiyi didn't come back.
Now Jiang Zhiyi is back, hiding in her grandfather's house and not going home, and has no intention of contacting her parents. It would be strange if Jiang Ershu and Zhou Huaying didn't explode with anger.
In fact, since she has returned, Jiang Ershu and his wife should know sooner or later, so Jiang Zhiyi might as well tell them earlier.
"Zhiyi, you are really wrong about this. No matter what your mother and I do, you should tell us when you come back. After all, we are your parents!" Jiang Ershu looked at Jiang Zhiyi with disappointment and sadness.
Jiang Zhiyi felt heartbroken when he looked at her. She was just afraid, afraid that her parents would get angry, and now she still couldn't avoid it.
But she admitted her mistakes and apologized directly to Zhou Huaying and Jiang Ershu.
Zhou Huaying was furious for a while, but she was not as angry as before.
Who knew that before the atmosphere was relieved, Jiang Zhiyi found out that she had found Qian Ran, and she got angry again.
"Jiang Zhiyi, you are great, you are great!"
After saying that, she walked away in high heels, and Jiang Erjiu followed closely. Jiang Zhiyi frowned and looked at the backs of the two people. Her chest seemed to be stuffed with cotton and she couldn't breathe. Chuxia
was watching the development of the situation from the side. At the end, she sighed in her heart: she had expected this scene.
The knot between Jiang Zhiyi and her parents is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer easy to untie.
Qian Ran looked at Jiang Zhiyi worriedly, his eyes showing uneasiness: "Zhiyi."
"I'm fine." Jiang Zhiyi grinned and showed a big smile: "I had expected my parents' attitude a long time ago."
But everyone could see that Jiang Zhiyi was forcing a smile.
This time, the atmosphere of everyone at Jiang's grandfather's house was not as good as before. Everyone's mood was also covered with a layer of worry because of the quarrel between Jiang Zhiyi and her parents.
Chuxia's family also said this when they returned home.
"I don't know what will happen to Zhiyi and her parents in the future."
"This is not something we can worry about." Cen Zhengnian's tone was very cold. No outsider could interfere in the family affairs of Jiang's second uncle's family.
"I know."
Cen Huaian said, "Mom, I'm about to start the second round of intensive training."
Chu Xia was immediately distracted and asked him what he needed to prepare for the second round of intensive training.
The second round of intensive training was in April.
There were a total of seven days, and Cen Huaian asked for leave to go.
The content of the intensive training was not much different from the first round, with classes, exams, and other activities.
However, the learning and knowledge were deeper. Cen Huaian's roommate wailed in the dormitory because he was under great pressure. He felt that he could not keep up with what the teacher said.
"Cen Shen, do you think it's difficult?"
Ever since Cen Huaian shined in the training team, he was so outstanding that even many people could not catch up. I don't know who started calling him Cen Shen, and more and more people called him that, and in this way Cen Huaian had a fixed nickname.
Before Cen Huaian said anything, his other roommate spoke up immediately: "Listen to what kind of question you are asking? How could God Cen find these difficult? Right, God Cen."
Cen Huaian stopped writing, turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "I think it's difficult too."
They were both shocked at the same time: "Oh my God, God Cen, you actually think it's difficult? There are times when I have the same thinking as God Cen. God Cen, which knowledge do you think is difficult?"
"That's not right." One of the roommates responded: "God Cen, every time you are asked a question in class, you know the answer."
Cen Huaian: "Just because I know the answer doesn't mean it's not difficult. With our current knowledge reserves and thinking, it is indeed difficult."
The two roommates: ...
the difficulty for the big boss is not the same as our difficulty.
Cen Huaian became more stable in the training team. He knew that now was a critical moment and he couldn't relax at all.
If he relaxed, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Fortunately, after the last exam, Cen Huaian got the first place, and he was still the first in the overall ranking.
A boy and a girl who had the same score as him in the national league were also selected as one of the six IMO players.
Cen Huaian was not familiar with them yet, and he was usually a little cold. The girl was even colder, and the other boy was not lively either.
Hang Ling looked at the three selected people and smiled and said, "You three are less talkative than each other. This team will be so taciturn!"
The fourth-place girl immediately raised her hand and jumped up and said, "Teacher, I am lively and I am responsible for the lively atmosphere."
The sixth-place boy was a roommate of Cen Huaian, and he also jumped up: "Teacher! Teacher! There is more!"
Hang Ling looked at the two people and laughed "Haha", and the others in the class also laughed: "Okay, I don't have to worry about you two!" There
are still more than two months before the IMO exam. Cen Huaian, like other contestants, is doing all kinds of Olympiad exercises.
IMO is too important. No. 4 Middle School specially allowed Cen Huaian to skip some classes, but Cen Huaian did not do so.
Cen Huaian just didn't do his homework in the usual classes, and he still went to class.
Zhang Lu looked at Cen Huaian who was so busy that she felt tired for him.
"An An, you've been writing for a long time, you must be very tired? Come on, come on, let's play ball for a while, you've been writing for a while and your mind is confused."
Zhang Lu has grown taller. I don't know if it's because of martial arts training or because she eats well, but her height has grown to 170 cm, and it seems that she will continue to grow.
She also fell in love with a new campus sport, playing basketball, and sometimes she also plays football and volleyball.
Cen Huaian raised his hand and pressed his neck. He felt tired. He had indeed been writing questions with his head down for too long.
He stood up and looked at the playground in the distance. It was spring and the flowers were blooming. The trees on both sides of the playground were lush and leafy, and the students on the playground were having fun.
"Okay." Cen Huaian turned his eyes to Zhang Lu and said.
The two said they wanted to play basketball, and there couldn't be only two of them. Zhang Lu raised his hand and shouted who wanted to go. In just a few seconds, two teams were formed.
Zhang Lu led one team and Cen Huaian led another team. Both of them studied martial arts and had an advantage over other students in playing basketball.
When the game started, the two teams immediately scrambled for the ball. They didn't care much about the rules, as long as they didn't obviously violate the rules.
In addition to the people who played ball, there were also classmates helping to be referees and scorekeepers.
After a thrilling game, Cen Huaian was sweating all over, and his mind was indeed clearer as Zhang Lu said.
After drinking water and returning to class, his thoughts became clearer when he did the questions again.
Jiang Zhiyi did not reconcile with Jiang Ershu and his wife in the end. They quarreled whenever they met, and their relationship became more and more strained.
Until she and Qian Ran left Beijing for Guangzhou, the knot was not untied.
However, Qian Ran's family knew about Jiang Zhiyi's existence and liked and cared about her very much.
The main reason was that their son was too old, in his early thirties, and they had tried every way to find a wife for their son, but they were at a loss.
Now that their son has found a date, and it's the daughter of the Jiang family, whom they have always been friends with, they are so happy that they don't know what to do. This surprise is too great.
Therefore, the Qian family is so happy that they can't wait to make trouble for their son and Jiang Zhiyi.
Jiang Zhiyi returned to Guangzhou and focused on her work. She buried the pain her parents brought her.
Qian Ran also found a partner. When Jiang Zhida returned, he was urged to get married by his uncle Jiang and Yang Mei. Yang Mei forced him to meet girls all day long. He didn't know how many girls he met in a day, and he couldn't remember who was who.
"Mom! You've seriously affected my work. Yunmengze still needs me to handle things."
He was now tied up in blind dates and had no personal time at all, let alone going to Yunmengze.
Yang Mei was particular about efficiency. She said, "You hurry up and find a girl to marry, and I'll let you go back to Yunmengze."
Jiang Zhida was helpless: "Mom, it's not that easy to find a partner to marry. I can't just find someone and say I'm married. That's disrespectful to marriage."
Yang Mei was unyielding: "Then you just keep going on blind dates."
Jiang Zhida: Painful face.
In the end, Jiang Zhida couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Chu Xia's house to hide for a day.
"You say marriage is so important? My mother is driving me crazy trying to find a partner for me."
"Uncle, I think there are many other important things in life."
Cen Huaian flipped through the professional materials that Cen Zhengnian had found for him and said, "This is not a necessity in life."
Jiang Zhida rubbed his head hard, laughed and said, "Hey, don't look at An An's young age, what you said sounds nice!"
Cen Huaian took his hand away, tidied his hair helplessly, "Uncle, read more books and you will know."
Then he sat a little further away from Jiang Zhida.
Chuxia said while inserting the fruits on the plate: "Anan and I agree with each other. But unfortunately, your mother disagrees with us."
Jiang Zhida sighed heavily: "Please help me think of a solution. This has really affected my life."
Cen Huaian and Chuxia shook their heads together: "There is no way."
Chuxia added: "Unless you can find a partner right now to block your mother's mind, it will be useless to think of more solutions."
Jiang Zhida touched his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Cousin, you are right. I wish I could find a partner right away."
Chuxia: "Then you continue to dream."
Jiang Zhida smiled mysteriously, and within two days, Chuxia heard that Jiang Zhida had found a partner.
Chuxia showed an expression of disbelief: He actually found it, Jiang Zhida is quite fast.
But Chuxia didn't care much about it. She was busy sorting out some similar cases among the patients she had seen recently, preparing to write them into an experience booklet, which would be more convenient for her to accumulate learning and comparison in the future. The summer
vacation just started, and the IMO competition was about to take place.
The location of the IMO this time was in Beijing, China, which was the happiest thing for Chuxia. Cen Huaian didn't have to travel thousands of miles to participate in the competition abroad.
Chuxia didn't have to worry about him not being able to adapt to the climate or life abroad.
Competing at home is different from competing abroad. It will reduce a lot of tension, and it will be more convenient and comfortable during the competition.
It was just a competition in Beijing, so Cen Huaian and several other selected athletes also moved into the rooms prepared for the athletes in advance to adapt to the examination room in advance.
The rest of their training was conducted on the field.
At this time, athletes from other countries also arrived at the field from Beijing Airport one after another.
The athletes from Country M were the most arrogant, and the athletes from Country R were also arrogant, observing the competition venue in Beijing everywhere. The athletes from Country H liked to make trouble and find fault with all kinds of organizers.
When Cen Huaian and his teammates went out to eat, they often met athletes from various countries.
Athletes from some countries walked and communicated with Cen Huaian and his teammates, with an expression on their faces that friendship came first and competition came second.
Athletes from some countries looked down on Cen Huaian and his teammates, and directly made gestures of failure to provoke them.
As the team leader, Cen Huaian never responded.
IMO competitions have various regulations. If you lose your temper and are eliminated for violating the regulations before the competition, it would be too aggrieved.
Cen Huaian stopped his roommate who had the most impulsive temper, looked at the provocative player, and spoke a string of fluent English.
It was the first time that Cen Huaian's teammates saw him demonstrate his foreign language ability, and they were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
"Now you are just taking advantage verbally, we'll see when we take the exam, and then you'll find out how ridiculous your behavior is."
The group of foreign students, both men and women, the oldest of whom was no more than 19 years old, were so angry that they pointed at Cen Huaian's nose and cursed, but they did not dare to do more.
"Dog barking."
After saying that, Cen Huaian turned around and left. The foreign group did not react at first. By the time they reacted to what Cen Huaian said, he had already walked out of their sight.
If they chased after him, they would be at a disadvantage. Those people could only suppress their anger.
The IMO competition lasted for two days, one day with one test paper, three questions, and 4.5 hours. It can be seen that the questions will be very difficult and not so easy to answer.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the first exam began, and the machine was set up to start live broadcasting from the beginning.
This is the largest event to be held in China recently, and it is also the IMO competition that represents the mathematical strength of Chinese teenagers. Naturally, it must be broadcast live throughout the whole process so that the audience across the country can see the style of Chinese teenagers and let everyone see the magnanimity of China.
Families who value their children's performance watched this competition at home. Not only did they watch it themselves, but some also dragged their children to watch it together.
It is the summer vacation period now, and students all over China are on vacation. It is a time when there is nothing to do. No one can bear being caught by their parents to watch for hours.
However, students who know Cen Huaian are watching it, and most of them are Cen Huaian's classmates. They are excited and nervous at this moment. They
are proud of Cen Huaian, but also worried about him, afraid that he will not achieve satisfactory results in the IMO competition.
The students of No. 4 Middle School have long been notified by the school not to forget to watch Cen Huaian's IMO competition during the summer vacation and cheer for him.
Therefore, Qi Ming and his cousin watched it together at home, and while watching, Guan Yan also sat over.
Seeing a familiar figure flashing by on TV, she subconsciously frowned: she always felt that the figure was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. It flashed too fast, and she didn't see the face clearly except for the figure.
When the camera turned again, Guan Yan saw Cen Huaian's face clearly. God seemed to be particularly kind to this face of his. It grew a little bigger but the appearance did not change. It looked more and more outstanding.
Guan Yan suddenly pinched Qi Ming's arm, and Qi Ming screamed in pain: "Mom! It hurts, don't pinch my arm." Guan
Yan came back to her senses and quickly let go of him to check his arm. Fortunately, she didn't use much force, and Qi Ming's arm was fine except that it was a little red.
"Mingming, is that Cen Huaian?"
Guan Yan asked Qi Ming.
Qi Ming and his cousin nodded and answered at the same time: "It's him. It's because he became a player participating in the IMO competition that our school let us watch the live broadcast of his competition at home."
After Guan Yan confirmed it, the expression on her face was a little complicated.
"Mingming, can you be selected for this IMO competition?"
Qi Ming stared at Guan Yan with wide eyes, with an expression of "are you kidding me": "Mom, how confident are you in my ability? Do you know how difficult it is to enter IMO?"
Guan Yan really didn't know. She was not a student. Although she knew a little about student competitions and IMO competitions, she didn't know the inside knowledge.
Qi Ming's cousin looked at his cousin with sympathy and explained to Guan Yan the difficulty of entering the IMO competition.
Qi Ming couldn't even get into the Olympiad class, let alone other ones.
Guan Yan's eyebrows tightened: "Mingming, can you join the Olympiad class?"
Qi Ming was even more shocked: "Mom, don't scare me, I'm not that seedling, and I don't have that brain."
Guan Yan sighed with regret and continued to watch the IMO competition on TV. The more she watched, the more she felt that Cen Huaian was not an ordinary child.
"Mingming, I told you to get in touch with Cen Huaian more and make friends with him. Look how good he is!"
Qi Ming: "Mom, my cousin and I tried, but he doesn't want to make friends with us. He doesn't pay any attention to us at all. How can we be friends?"
He didn't understand why Guan Yan insisted on making him and Cen Huaian friends, but he did what Guan Yan said, but he was not very interested.
Seeing that Cen Huaian ignored him, he was just happy. He didn't have to keep thinking of ways to get close to Cen Huaian in the future.
Guan Yan touched his head: "You don't understand, mom is doing this for your own good."
It is difficult to get through the channels of adults, but it is easy to get through children.
Her husband's business in the capital was not going well, and he is still floating in the market of the capital, without settling down.
Guan Yan has been thinking that it would be great if she could get through the relationship on Chu Xia's side. If it is difficult to approach adults, it is okay to approach children. Then, through the children, the two families will naturally get closer.
I didn't expect that my son and nephew were so disappointing. None of them became friends with Cen Huaian. Cen Huaian's personality is really the same as his parents. He is as difficult to deal with as his parents.
Qi Ming looked at Guan Yan's expression, listened to his words, and nodded seriously: He really didn't understand, and he didn't want to get involved in the complicated affairs of adults. He couldn't guess his mother's thoughts, so he concentrated on watching TV with his cousin.
Watching the two of them discussing together.
"Is that player frowning all the time?"
"Look at that one, it's so funny, he actually likes to grab his hair."
"What's wrong with that yellow-haired guy, why hasn't he written for a long time?"
Guan Yan listened to the words of her son and nephew, and felt that there was darkness in front of her. How could there be such a big gap between her son and Cen Huaian? She was depressed.
Guan Yan, Qi Ming and the other two watched the live broadcast for more than one day. They watched it for as many days as the competition was broadcast.
