"Mhm, I will take care of myself." Zhi Ying nodded seriously on the phone.
Zhou Cheng, who was next to her, frowned. The current students were really trying too hard to get a good future. Although he did not agree with his teacher, he actually felt that current competitions have changed a bit.
"Aren't you going back?" Zhou Cheng waited for Zhi Ying to hang up the phone and then asked.
"No, I won't go back until I finish the winter camp in a few days." Zhi Ying was pale, and looked down at the time on her phone, "Teacher, can we hurry back to the camp? It's almost time for the exam."
Zhou Cheng couldn't order her to go home, so he could only say, "Your hand is injured, take a day off first."
Zhi Ying refused, "I want to take the exam."
'If I don't take the exam, I won't get a ranking, then Lao Han will be disappointed.'
In the end, Zhi Ying still took the afternoon exam, but she was alone in a room.
The examinee was alone in the room, and Zhou Cheng wrote for her while sitting beside her.
Zhi Ying was really in pain, and the cold sweat on her forehead hadn't disappeared since the way back from the hospital. In order to save time on the exam, Zhi Ying didn't answer the questions in the same manner as yesterday. All the answers were simplified as much as possible, and the time spent to finish answering all the questions was nearly an hour less than yesterday.
"..." Zhou Cheng looked down at the answer sheet in astonishment.
There was no need to grade it, as soon as Zhi Ying spoke, he would know that the answer was 100% correct. In fact, the mathematicians who came to observe all read yesterday's examination papers. Although Zhi Ying got full marks, her answers were far less exciting than Liu Min who also got full marks. It was because the logic of all Zhi Ying's answers were very normal, and there were no fallacies in the slightest, which was very different from Liu Min's various fresh methods.
Therefore, everyone tacitly agreed that Zhi Ying was trained entirely by standard tactics, while Liu Min was extremely talented.
Now... Zhou Cheng looked down at the test paper and above at the pale Zhi Ying, and suddenly, he was not very sure.
"Teacher, I've handed in the test paper. I'll go first," Zhi Ying wiped her cold sweat with her left hand, and wanted to go back to the dormitory and lie down.
"Uh, okay, I'll ask the teacher to take you there." Zhou Cheng stood up, sent Zhi Ying out, and asked the female teacher to accompany Zhi Ying back at the door.
After grading the test papers all night, the group of mathematicians gathered together in front of the four test papers.
"It's still full marks." A slightly older person said.
Liu Min still continued the style of his previous exam, which clearly demonstrated his genius style. On the other hand, Zhi Ying's two test papers, one showed the perfect style of a textbook, and the other had a personal style that was extremely concise. The steps of answering the questions were rough, but they could not find any mistakes from it.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Cheng spoke, "The first one is too regular."
Yes, they didn't notice it last night.
Zhi Ying's answer was too regular, almost exactly the same as the answer key. They only wanted to find students who were really talented and stood out in exam-oriented education. However, in this process, they ignored some students who could completely see through the questions and the teachers who made the questions.
"What is Zhi Ying's background?" Wang Li asked, looking at the crowd while holding onto the table.
Everyone moved their eyes to the team leader in the corner in unison.
The team leader was overwhelmed by the stares of the group of big bosses, and stammered, "Just a student from Quan City, I haven't heard much about her before I came here."
The students who come every year were the best of the best, and they didn't have that much energy to investigate. Especially this year, several young children came to participate, and their attention was naturally attracted by these students.
The bosses frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the team leader's statement.
"Ah, Zhi Ying is number one in their province." The team leader finally came up with one thing after thinking about it for a long time.
"Go and get her answer sheets from previous competitions, let's take a look." Wang Li said with a straight face, "Send it directly."
The next morning was to visit colleges and universities, and the atmosphere of the crowd was cohesive, but obviously not as relaxed as before.
"Teacher, is Zhi Ying gone?" Liu Min asked with tears in the corners of his eyes, his eyes were also red.
"No, she'll come over later." The teacher couldn't stand the child's pitiful appearance, so he bent down and patted his head to coax him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhi Ying walked over slowly with her plastered hand hanging.
Her hand was still uncomfortable today, but it was better than yesterday.
Seeing Zhi Ying, Liu Min ran towards her, seemed to think of something in the middle of the run, and stopped immediately. He gazed at Zhi Ying with pitiful eyes.
Zhi Ying couldn't have any feelings of disgust towards a child, so she walked up to the child, glanced at him, and comforted, "Don't cry, I don't have candy..."
'...so I can't coax you.' she trailed off, but completed the sentence in her thoughts.
"Mhm mhm." Seeing that Zhi Ying was still willing to talk to him, the child immediately burst into a smile, and followed behind Zhi Ying.
Seeing that everyone was present, the teacher began to lead the students to tour around, explaining while walking. The child behind Zhi Ying raised his face and chattered, "Does your hand still hurt? How long will it take to get better?"
Zhi Ying answered patiently, but the child next to her fell silent.
Zhi Ying couldn't help but look down, and saw that the child pursed his mouth. His hands were twisted into a ball, and he apologized with red eyes, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"Mhm, it's all over, I accept your apology." Zhi Ying didn't want to see the child being pitiful all the time. An ambitious child looked more pleasing to the eye.
At the same time, the math bigwigs also got photos from the team leader of Zhi Ying's answer sheets from previous competitions. While finding the pictures, the team leader also went to learn more about the student Zhi Ying.
[Since she was a child, she has been better than the other students by a large margin. In the first grade of elementary school, there were many teachers who wanted Zhi Ying to skip a grade, and later in middle school as well. But Zhi Ying's family did not agree, saying that their child should go to school normally like other children.]
The team leader sent a long message, followed by several pictures, all of which were Zhi Ying's answer sheets from Quan City.
Zhou Cheng could tell at a glance that Zhi Ying's answers were outrageously standard.
Similarly, other people nearby could also tell, and the room fell silent.
At this moment, the team leader sent another piece of news: [Zhi Ying has been suppressed by a student since she was divided into majors in high school, and has become an everlasting second place. Not sure why this student did not enter any competitions.]
The bosses didn't know why. After all, being good at math had nothing to do with other subjects.
Then the team leader sent a few more photos: [No.1 High School Ranking Results.JPG…]
Everyone saw that the score was surprisingly high, and Zhi Ying had never scored anything but full marks in all subjects other than language arts. Jiang Wei, who was ahead of Zhi Ying, also came into the eyes of the bosses.
"This student seems to be good, why didn't I see him?" A mathematician asked.
Now they were much more cautious and did not dare underestimate any student at will.
Zhou Cheng knew Jiang Wei: "The son of the Jiang family, I heard that he went to Quan City to recuperate."
The group of professionals who only studied mathematics looked confused.
"The one that donated money to our research institute." Zhou Cheng further reminded them.
Now everyone understood.
"Why is Zhi Ying's language arts score so poor?" A middle-aged professor looked at the scores above and asked in confusion.
Zhi Ying's performance in language arts was by no means bad, but it was not good in terms of her other perfect scores.
Several senior mathematicians looked at each other, seeming to remember something.
"Okay, stop looking, wait for the exam in the afternoon." A gray-haired mathematician said.
The exam this afternoon was the final one. After the exam, Zhi Ying breathed a sigh of relief and laid on the bed without moving.
Although her roommate looked down on Zhi Ying's self-abandonment before, she still sympathized with her injury. Standing in front of her bed for a long time, she finally said, "If you need anything, you can call me."
"Mhm, you already said it yesterday, I will call you if something happens." Zhi Ying leaned upright on the bed, feeling that the weight of the quilt on her hand was a thousand tons.
"Your phone is on." The roommate pointed to the phone on Zhi Ying's table.
Zhi Ying moved her head with difficulty, unable to see the phone.
The roommate stepped forward to take the phone and handed it to Zhi Ying.
"Dad, Mom." Zhi Ying sat up again, turned on the video call, and there were two people on the opposite side.
Lin Xiuyu and her husband stayed in front of the phone, and shed tears when they saw Zhi Ying's hand with plaster cast.
"Ying ying, can mom go find you?" Lin Xiuyu couldn't eat or sleep well these days, she wanted to rush over, but she was afraid that Zhi Ying would get angry. Something like this has happened before.
Zhi Ying was stubborn, slapped her butt, and left. Both the Lin family and the Zhi family came out that time, and finally found Zhi Ying who was about to become a beggar on the provincial road next to their province.
"I'm going back by plane tomorrow. Mom, dad, just wait for me at the airport." Zhi Ying indeed didn't want to make her parents go back and forth again.
After chatting for a while, Lin Xiuyu's anxiety was relieved a little, and Zhi Yingcai hung up the video call.
Before putting the phone away, the video call rang again, but this time it was Jiang Wei.
Zhi Ying didn't know why she was nervous, so she hung up the video call directly.
Soon Jiang Wei sent a message: [What's wrong, is it not convenient?]
Zhi Ying hadn't contacted him for two days, and Jiang Wei was waiting for news from her every night, but nothing happened.
Zhi Ying was a little flustered, coughed, and there was a roommate standing beside her waiting to help.
"Do you want me to hold your phone for you?"
"No need." Zhi Ying sneaked a glance at her roommate
It was very troublesome for her to type with one hand. The phone was also not small. Finally, Zhi Ying pressed the voice button and whispered, "My roommate is sleeping. I will go back tomorrow."
Sleeping roommate: "…"
Jiang Wei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Zhi Ying's voice, but quickly realized, why didn't Zhi Ying type a message and had to send a voice message when her roommate was sleeping?
[Are you not sleeping?] Jiang Wei didn't go into details, thinking that Zhi Ying was busy now, [It's 10:40.]
"I'm going to sleep soon, you should go to sleep soon too." Zhi Ying said in a low voice.
She had no idea that if she felt guilty, she would add a soft tone at the end.
Jiang Wei played the voice message again, and finally decided not to ask any more questions. Anyways, he could wait for her to come back tomorrow.
Zhi Ying breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, and the roommate next to her looked at her strangely, asking, "Your boyfriend?"
Was that what dating was like? The roommate thought about it for a while. If she was injured, she must have her boyfriend come over.
"Not yet, we haven't dated yet." Zhi Ying sighed, feeling depressed at the thought at this moment.
Anyway, the tests were over, and everything was settled. Her roommate relaxed, sat on the opposite bed and asked, "You two have not started dating yet?"
The roommate looked at Zhi Ying carefully. Anyone who could come to the winter camp would at least have good grades in school. Although this person had a rustic atmosphere, she still looked good and had a foreign style.
Although her hair was messed up and blown until it looked like a fluffy ball, it couldn't hide her delicate face. Fair and delicate skin, clear and distinct eyes, bright red lips that were slightly curled up.
At first she thought Zhi Ying came here with makeup on.
