Chapitre 40: Learning from Xu Li
Éditeur: Henyee Translations
"Aiyo, what's there to be sorry about? There's nothing to be sorry about…" Meng Qingqing held Xu Li's hand affectionately. "Actually, I think white looks better than pink. Isn't Wen Heng's birthday coming up soon? I'll keep the pink one as his birthday present!"
Meng Qingqing chattered on about how pink was the color a man should have. Xu Li was amused, especially when she thought of Wen Heng, a tall and silly young man, wearing a pink watch on his hand. The scene was even more hilarious! When she saw Wen Heng in school, she could not help but want to laugh! She gave Wen Heng a head full of question marks.
Last Saturday's math competition was only the city's preliminary round. The semi-finals were in November, and the finals were at the end of December.
Initially, Xu Li did not want to take the exam seriously. However, because she had promised Meng Qingqing that she would get first place for her, Xu Li, who had always been lazy and sleeping in class, began to work hard and do questions every day.
Meng Qingqing was shocked by Xu Li's devotion. "Xu Li, have you suffered a blow?" She reached out to touch Xu Li's forehead. Xu Li slapped her hand away and did not even look up. "Didn't you ask me to get first place for you?"
Understanding this, Meng Qingqing immediately hugged Xu Li pretentiously and said coquettishly, "Aiyo, Xu Li, I love you so much. Muah."
Xu Li: "…" Goosebumps rose all over her body!
The results of the preliminary round were announced on Wednesday. Long Long announced during class that Xu Li was three points behind Lu Peian, but they had both entered the semi-finals. Xu Li had a total of 287 points out of 300 points.
"Boss is awesome!" Wen Heng took the lead and cheered. The entire class was in an uproar. Long Long stood on the podium and watched them cheer with a smile. Young people should have such vitality. Thinking of the dull children in Class One, Long Long sighed helplessly. When they were almost done, Long Long patted the lecture table. "Alright, alright. It's time for class. I know you're happy, but listen well now and learn from Student Xu Li, understand?"
The students: "I know!"
After class, Long Long returned to her office and handed a set of test papers to Xu Li, reminding her to finish them before the semi-finals. Xu Li pressed the test papers on the desk. After she finished writing the questions in her hand, she took out a test paper and wrote it down. She thought that she could score 290 points in the preliminary round. However, now that she thought about it, she seemed to have misjudged a condition in the second last question and the marks were gone just like that.
The questions Long Long had given Xu Li were written by a teacher from the Math Olympiad group in the school. The answers had not been written yet. The difficulty of the questions was above average. Xu Li had written them smoothly in the beginning, but she was stuck at the last question. Long Long had a teaching task and was not in the office. Xu Li thought for a moment, turned around, and went to Class One to look for Lu Peian.
It was lunch break. There were still many people in Class One reading and doing questions. Xu Li sighed in her heart. As expected of the Important Class. This learning ability was much better than her class!
Lu Peian's seat was in the last row. He was tall, and although he was a little short-sighted, he did not usually listen to classes. Coupled with the fact that the back row was quiet, he specially told the teacher to move to the back row.
Xu Li entered through the back door and patted Lu Peian's shoulder. Lu Peian turned around and adjusted his glasses. When he saw Xu Li, his shoulders relaxed and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Class One's classroom was very quiet. Xu Li was afraid of disturbing the others, so she pointed outside. Lu Peian understood and followed her out.
"How did you solve this question? I feel like a condition is missing." Xu Li pointed at the question on the test paper.
Lu Peian glanced at the question and reached out his hand to Xu Li. "Pen."
Xu Li quickly passed the pen to him. When she retracted her hand, her fingertips accidentally brushed across Lu Peian's palm. Lu Peian's fingers curled up a little, and a slight electric current ran from his palm along his blood vessels and spread throughout his body. He tried his best to ignore this strange feeling. He wrote down the function on the draft book and then seriously explained the question to Xu Li.
Lu Peian's tone was very cold and emotionless, like a machine. In the end, he tilted his head and asked Xu Li, "Do you understand?"
Xu Li felt that Lu Peian's small actions were always very cute, especially when he tilted his head to look at her seriously.
"I got it, I got it." Xu Li took the test paper and draft book. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Lu Peian, "Where did you lose the ten points in the preliminary round?"
