"Rice ball." Zhi Ying bowed her head and flipped through the printed test questions with one hand, and bit into the rice ball with the other hand.
While chewing the rice ball, she discovered that there was shrimp inside. Delicious food was always a pleasure. Zhi Ying sat cross-legged under the tree, suddenly feeling more energetic to complete the competition questions.
On the contrary, it was Qin Li who glanced at Zhi Ying's lunch box from time to time. He was resentful, and abruptly felt that the bread in his hand was suddenly tasteless. However, Zhi Ying only cared about her own test paper, and had no intention of sharing the lunchbox with him.
Finally, Qin Li couldn't help it anymore, and swallowed his saliva, "Help me look over this test paper, I'm going to go to the cafeteria to get a boxed lunch."
Zhi Ying nodded casually, keeping her eyes on the paper, and took out another rice ball.
The soup was a bit more troublesome to drink. Zhi Ying considered not drinking it, but looked down and saw a straw beside her.
Zhi Ying took out the straw, inserted it into the insulated box, picked it up and drank it. This method did not interrupt her process of looking over the test questions.
After a while, Qin Li came back with a gloomy face.
After such a long time, most of the food in the school cafeteria had been sold out. He could only grit his teeth and order a small stir-fry.
In the end, he felt that he had incurred a loss based on all his calculations. He had not managed to save extra time for calculations and even spent more money.
Fortunately, the league tournament was in a few days. Qin Li watched Zhi Ying eat a fancy lunch as he gnawed on dry bread all by himself.
…
"I wish you all good scores in the league," Lao Han wished them, noticing that nearly two-thirds of the students in the class had participated in the math league.
The students below simultaneously replied, "Thank you, teacher!"
After school, Jiang Wei was asked to stay behind. And this was the first time Lao Han talked to him privately.
Teachers only talked to students about a few situations: grades and psychological problems.
However, there was nothing to say about Jiang Wei's grades. Ever since the classes were divided, he had been firmly sitting at the top of his grade. As for psychological problems, as long as you behaved normally, the teacher would not be able to notice anything.
"The competition time for each subject is different, but you have limited energy. So, you can choose at most two subjects. Which would you like to choose?" Lao Han asked on behalf of all the teachers.
Jiang Wei was excellent in every subject, and of course, he sometimes made small mistakes. But apart from Zhi Ying, judging from his performance alone, he could choose any subject to compete in.
The teachers of each subject felt that Jiang Wei could go further, and they all wanted Jiang Wei to apply for his own topics. Of course, after passing the league first.
Jiang Wei stood upright, his loose school uniform unable to hide his pine-like posture.
"I haven't thought about it yet," Jiang Wei answered casually, not paying much attention to the league.
"That's fine, you can think about it after you finish the league exam." Lao Han didn't make things difficult for him, and said some words of encouragement, and let Jiang Wei go back.
It was just that after the league exam, Lao Han found that Jiang Wei didn't place into any of the high rankings
"It's not surprising." Zhou Hui heard her colleagues talk about this matter in the teaching and research room, and shook her head. "He has convulsions from time to time. I suspect that he may not be able to get a place in the competitions of other subjects."
"Oh, I've heard of it." A teacher seemed to think of something, "Jiang Wei was also like this at the school in the capital. When he wants to do an exam, he goes to do the exam. Sometimes he just writes his name and then turns in the papers."
In the end, Lao Han didn't specifically speak to Jiang Wei. The competition was just icing on the cake for students like them. If he really didn't want to take the exam, he couldn't force it.
Of course, Qin Li and Zhi Ying successfully passed the league exam and achieved a good result of being tied for first place.
"Why doesn't it feel difficult?" This was the first sentence Qin Li said to Zhi Ying after the exam.
Zhi Ying glanced at Qin Li strangely, "We have been working on the training team topics, of course the current one is not difficult."
"Oh, I forgot." Under the influence of eyes and ears learning from other people, Qin Li also learned the word "Oh".
After a while, Qin Li asked again, "Did you really study their topic? I think the questions aren't that hard now."
"I'll give you a similar type, and there won't be too much difference." Zhi Ying was now used to this way of thinking, but still felt a little tired.
The certificates of ranking came down very quickly, and those in the class who participated in the mathematics league at least had a third ranking prize. After all, they were all the best students from key middle schools.
"Where's your award?" Zhi Ying lay on the table, watching her classmates get up to receive the award one by one. However Jiang Wei's name was not called, even till the end. After Lao Han said a few words of encouragement to everyone, he began to give the lecture.
Jiang Wei looked down at Zhi Ying, and murmured in a low voice, "I didn't feel well that day, and I didn't finish the test paper."
Zhi Ying sat up straight for a moment, looked at Jiang Wei worriedly, and put her hand on his shoulder, "Is it better now? You need to eat more, so that your immunity can be strengthened, and you won't get sick easily."
Jiang Wei laughed in his heart, but his face remained calm and self-possessed, "Who told you such a thing?"
Of course, it couldn't be what Father and Mother Zhi said. Zhi Ying has been very obedient when eating since she was a child. A big bowl of rice was placed in front of her; as long as she was put on a chair, she would eat it obediently with a spoon.
This was what a relative said to his child when she went to someone else's house to pay New Year's greetings. Zhi Ying repeated it to Jiang Wei from memory.
"It's accurate anyway, you have to be obedient." Zhi Ying frowned, still resting her hand on Jiang Wei's shoulder.
Zhao Qian turned his head at an angle stiffly. After seeing Han Jiaojiao listening to English through earphones, he could only turn around and hold back.
What were the two people in the back doing? They talked strangely every day, causing people to misunderstand.
Jiang Wei lowered his eyes, hesitation lingering in his voice, "Can you introduce any delicious meals? My house cook was hired locally, and her food is not to my liking."
"Oh, I'll ask Zhao Qian for you later." Zhi Ying usually didn't even know what she usually ate, so how could she know delicious dishes?
Zhao Qian who overheard: 'No, I don't want to tell you!'
Two months after the start of school, the students in Class Zero who had become sophomores had more or less changed. For example, because of the increased evening self-study, more and more students started to regard the school classroom as their home.
Another example was that Zhi Ying was crushed by Jiang Wei in the monthly exam in October once again. After the results came out, Zhi Ying's dislike for Jiang Wei deepened, but at the same time, feelings of guilt grew.
However, the biggest change was that a classmate left.
