"Experimentation is not a problem; we'll be soaking in the lab all week," Zhang Tao said, seeing that Li Zheng had relaxed. Then he asked, "I saw on the application form that you're from Lake Ying Middle School, right? Do you have a Physics Competition teacher at your school?"
Li Zheng answered truthfully, "At first we didn't, but just because a classmate and I insisted, we ended up with one."
Zhang Tao didn't understand.
The two of them locked eyes in silence.
In both of their lives, this conversation could probably rank high on the awkwardness leaderboard.
But Zhang Tao wasn't afraid of awkwardness; if you're excellent in physics, it doesn't matter if you can't make small talk.
Zhang Tao then plucked up his courage to ask, "What I mean is, aside from the school teachers' guidance, have you taken any other Physics Competition training?"
"No, mainly self-study."
