Chapter 163 Mission 015
The next day was the midterm exam. During the self-study class, Xiao Ying was doing math problems from the Mathematical Olympiad question set that the math teacher asked them to buy.
Li Yuechen, who was beside him, looked over with some curiosity and asked in a low voice: "The midterm exam is coming soon, why are you still doing Mathematical Olympiad? Aren't you reviewing?" The midterm exam basically tests knowledge, occasionally beyond the syllabus, and will never test Mathematical Olympiad questions, so Li Yuechen thinks Xiao Ying should do the questions from the synchronous teaching aids.
Xiao Ying looked up at her and said lightly: "It's just a midterm exam, there's no need to review. I'm preparing for the Mathematical Olympiad after the midterm exam."
Li Yuechen: "Uh..." Well, I almost forgot that her deskmate is a unique academic god. It's just a midterm exam, he doesn't take it seriously at all, and only the Mathematical Olympiad after the midterm exam will make the academic god pay a little attention.
Xiao Ying said to Li Yuechen: "The Mathematical Olympiad after the midterm exam is very important. If you can win the first prize in the province, you can get three extra points in the high school entrance exam."
When Li Yuechen heard Xiao Ying talking about the provincial Mathematical Olympiad next month, she suddenly remembered that she had poor grades before her rebirth, so she had no chance to participate in this kind of Mathematical Olympiad. However, she also remembered that there seemed to be a senior sister in the third year of junior high school who won the first prize in the province in this Olympiad, and there were indeed extra points in the high school entrance exam. This kind of provincial Mathematical Olympiad is actually not as valuable as the national Mathematical Olympiad. Although there are extra points in the high school entrance exam, only a handful of first prize winners can get three extra points. Most of the participants in the national Mathematical Olympiad are high school students, and the first prize winners can directly get ten extra points in the college entrance exam!
"It's very difficult to win the first prize in the province, and winning the prize can only add three points to the high school entrance examination. Instead of spending a lot of time doing math Olympiad questions to fight for those three points, it's better to learn the knowledge for the high school entrance examination and try to lose less three points." Li Yuechen didn't think that if she lived again and studied more seriously, she could beat countless geniuses and win the first prize.
Xiao Ying listened quietly and didn't comment on her idea.
After Li Yuechen finished speaking, she said a little embarrassedly: "Do you think I have no ambition? I don't even have the courage to challenge..."
Xiao Ying shook his head and smiled faintly at the corner of his lips: "No, I just feel surprised. After all, many people don't see as clearly as you, and don't know how to examine gains and losses as you do." He stared at Li Yuechen, "Sometimes I even feel that you and I are the same person."
Li Yuechen asked with a smile: "What kind of person?"
Xiao Ying said: "Those adults call them precocious people!"
The smile on Li Yuechen's face suddenly withdrew, and his expression was a little embarrassed. It was probably because he was reborn, so he couldn't help feeling guilty when he heard Xiao Ying's words. She glanced at Xiao Ying's expression and found nothing unusual. She also felt that she was too nervous, so she slowly relaxed.
Xiao Ying lowered her head and continued to do the questions. In fact, she was distracted and kept an eye on Li Yuechen.
In fact, the reason why he said that Li Yuechen was as precocious as him was just to prevent her from looking at him as an aunt looked at an underage boy. He deliberately reminded Li Yuechen that he and she were both equally mature people!
Maybe Li Yuechen, who was shocked by his words just now, had not reacted yet, but what he wanted to tell her would naturally integrate into her heart.
******
After class, Xiao Ying did not stay in his seat, but got up to go to the toilet. He had just thrown a small bomb at Li Yuechen, and now he should leave to let her digest it well.
As soon as he left the classroom, Song Lin followed behind him.
"What did you say to Li Yuechen in the self-study class just now? You said it with a smile, and the whole class saw it."
Xiao Ying keenly noticed the dissatisfaction and questioning in Song Lin's tone. Maybe Song Lin himself didn't notice it, but he still heard it very keenly. This made Xiao Ying a little distressed. Why did the male protagonist still silently pay attention to and like the female protagonist?
He frowned slightly and said lightly: "Nothing, just talked about the provincial Mathematical Olympiad after the midterm exam."
Song Lin looked at him and asked: "What Mathematical Olympiad are you all going to participate in?"
Xiao Ying naturally nodded. He was very confident: "There are ten places. Although the third-year junior high school students also participate, I can still pass the school preliminary round." This provincial Mathematical Olympiad after the midterm exam is divided into the school preliminary round. Each middle school selects the top ten in the preliminary round to participate in the city's rematch, and then the top three in the city's rematch are selected to participate in the provincial finals. Finally, certificates are issued according to the rankings. The first prize can add three points to the high school entrance examination.
The original owner did not study in City A when he was in junior high school, but he was in the same province as City A, so he naturally participated in this Mathematical Olympiad. As a genius student, can the original owner be qualified to be called a genius student if he can't even win the first place in a provincial Mathematical Olympiad? So the person who won the first prize and got extra points in the original work was the original owner, and the heroine only won the second prize, but the author wrote this Mathematical Olympiad just to let the hero and heroine participate in the Mathematical Olympiad together to cultivate their feelings, and the results are not that important.
Xiao Ying attached great importance to this Mathematical Olympiad, and naturally went for the plot. He must eliminate the opportunity for the hero and heroine to develop further, and try to dig the hero without missing a chance.
Song Lin, who was being poached, didn't notice it at all, and only said: "That Mathematical Olympiad sounds like it's quite challenging, and I plan to participate."
Xiao Ying smiled faintly: "There are not many places, so you have to work hard."
Song Lin snorted: "What? Are you looking down on me? I dare not say anything else, but I still have confidence in mathematics." The liberal arts that require the gradual accumulation of knowledge are his weak points. After all, he has been decadent for so long and his foundation is weak, but he can still handle science subjects such as mathematics and physics with his intelligence.
Xiao Ying shook his head: "I don't mean that, but the competition is fierce, so don't be too careless."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the toilet. Song Lin followed him for two steps. Seeing that he was going to the toilet, he stopped and turned back to the classroom.
Song Lin stood at the door of the classroom and looked inside. At a glance, he saw Li Yuechen sitting in his seat with his chin in his hand, staring blankly. He frowned, and then walked towards his seat.
Xiao Ying entered the classroom only after the bell rang.
Sitting down in his seat, Li Yuechen secretly glanced at him, and then the teacher came in. She began to listen to the class seriously and never looked at Xiao Ying again, but it seemed more like a cover-up.
Xiao Ying also acted as if he had not said anything, and his attitude towards Li Yuechen remained the same.
The next day, the midterm exam came.
This midterm exam was a joint exam for several middle schools, so the school still attached great importance to it. All the first-year students were given a holiday, and the classroom was vacated for them to use as the exam room. There was a single table for each person in the exam room. There were four rows of seats in a classroom, and only five seats in a row. There were only twenty candidates in such a large classroom, and the distance between each candidate was very far. Even candidates who were not nearsighted could not see any answer to the multiple-choice questions on other people's test papers.
The exam room where the candidates took the exam was based on the results of the last monthly exam, so Xiao Ying and Li Yuechen were both in the first exam room, and Song Lin was in the second exam room next door.
Xiao Ying's exam ranking had always been first, so his seat for this midterm joint exam was also the first position after entering the door, which was the first row that the invigilator could monitor most easily. Other candidates with poor grades or poor psychological quality might lament that this position was bad, but Xiao Ying was unaware of it. For him, every position was the same.
After entering the examination room, before the exam time, the invigilator suddenly moved a set of tables and chairs and placed them in front of the first seat in the second row, right next to the side of the podium, and then pasted a student number and name on the table.
Xiao Ying was a little surprised. Why did the first examination room add a seat temporarily?
The candidate who was temporarily added to the new seat soon came in with a small bag. He was a boy with slightly long yellow hair and acne on his face. He looked a little handsome, but not very handsome. When he saw that his seat was next to the podium, he immediately looked bitter.
Xiao Ying knew at a glance that the boy's academic performance must not be very good. The yellow hair must have been dyed. The hair was so long that it had to be cut short according to the school regulations. Moreover, he was dissatisfied with his exam position because he felt it was inconvenient to cheat. You have to know that the candidates in the first examination room are all good students in the top 20 of the grade. They definitely can't look bitter just because their exam seats are close to the front.
His first impression of this newly added candidate was that he was a rebellious and poor student like Song Lin before. Although he didn't know why he was temporarily arranged to take the midterm joint exam in the first examination room, his guess should be correct from the fact that the invigilator had been focusing on this boy since the exam began.
The first exam was Chinese. Two and a half hours was really enough time. Xiao Ying finished the test paper early, but did not hand it in early. Because he handed in the paper early in the first monthly exam and was educated by the head teacher, he didn't want to continue to listen to the head teacher's endless persuasion, so he simply spent the rest of the time in the examination room.
As time passed, the invigilator was impatient to always stand in front of the exam and started to walk around.
Each examination room has two invigilators, one standing in front or behind to look at the overall situation, and the other walking around. At this time, the teacher who had been standing in the back to invigilate suddenly gestured to the invigilator walking around in the examination room, turned around and went out to the toilet, so there was only one invigilator walking slowly in the first examination room.
The examinees in the first examination room were very well behaved. The invigilator walked from the front to the back of the classroom. Xiao Ying was flipping through the test paper nonchalantly. He looked up accidentally and suddenly saw the yellow-haired boy who had joined the class on his left side winking at him. He also raised the test paper and pointed at the multiple-choice questions, making gestures and clasping his hands together to ask for help...
Xiao Ying was speechless. This was his first time to encounter such a situation during an exam. Someone actually asked him to pass the answer when the invigilator turned his back in the first examination room? !
Looking at the boy's anxious and pitiful appearance, Xiao Ying decisively turned his head and pretended not to see it. Out of sight, out of mind.
Xiao Ying thought that the boy would change the target of his help - such as the boy behind him who ranked sixth in the grade in the last monthly exam. As a result, he felt something hit him. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed a small paper ball...
