There are 20 questions in the competition paper, 10 small questions and 10 major questions, with a total score of 100.

Ning Yan followed the question numbers all the way, and wrote the first question in less than half an hour.

The two invigilators wandered back and forth, and the examination room was quiet, except for the rustling of the pen tip rubbing against the manuscript paper during the calculation, and occasionally a few sighs from the candidates.

As time passed, the voices of many candidates turning over papers became very obvious, mixed with sighs, and seemed to become impatient.

Ning Yan took his time and wrote down the answer to the last question with half an hour left, stopped writing and checked it from the beginning, then raised his hand to signal for the test paper to be handed in.

The two invigilators subconsciously looked up at the clock on top, and one of them walked up to her with slightly surprised eyes, "Want to hand in the paper?"

Ning Yan nodded, "Yes."

Maybe she thought that she handed in the paper early because she couldn't do the questions. The invigilator didn't think too much, reached out and pulled out the paper on the table, hummed to her, and reminded:

"Bring good things to the front to sign, and go out directly after signing, and don't stay near the examination room."

"Ok."

Ning Yan packed up her things and signed, and then left the examination room without any pause. Before leaving, she seemed to be able to hear the breathing of other candidates.

The invigilator arranged the paper and draft paper that had just been handed in on the table in front of him, lowered his head and glanced casually, and then suddenly seemed to freeze, showing an incredulous expression when he saw the completed content.

He froze for a moment, then raised his head to look outside the door, but there was no sign of the girl there.

When Ning Yan left the gate of the Cultural Palace, Lao Lin was hiding under the big umbrella of a nearby fruit stand and chatting happily with the stall owner.

The stall owner was an aunt in her thirties and forties. Lao Lin bought a bag of oranges here. She weighed them and quoted the price. When she handed the oranges over, the two chatted naturally again:

"You are also here to send children to the exam?"

"Yes, I'm a teacher, bring two children over here to try."

After paying, Lao Lin took the oranges and took out one. He quickly peeled off the skin and threw a few petals into his mouth.

The stall owner's aunt smiled plainly: "Beijing University is a good school. My child is in the first year of high school and his grades are not bad. I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future."

"Hey, you have to lay a solid foundation in the first year of high school. Mathematics is very important!"

As a mathematics teacher, other subjects are not worth mentioning in Lao Lin's eyes. Whenever someone mentions a child's grades, he must emphasize the importance of mathematics.

He just finished replying cheerfully, reached out and stuffed the remaining half of the orange into his mouth, chewed it twice, and looked up at a person walking beside him.

Lao Lin was startled, hurriedly looked down at the watch in his hand, and then forgot to chew the orange, and stared at Ning Yan blankly, stuttering:

"Why, why did it come out now? Is the topic difficult?"

As he spoke, orange juice leaked out, and he had to cover his mouth and swallow it desperately.

Ning Yan wanted to laugh, desperately holding back her expression, and nodded her head pretending to think.

He answered very seriously: "It is indeed more difficult than the training we usually do."

Lao Lin almost cried when he heard this answer. He held back the grief in his heart, carefully observed Ning Yan's facial expression, and asked uncertainly:

"Then, then you now..."

"That is, how many questions did you write?"

The other party obviously thought she didn't perform well, and Ning Yan realized that she had made a joke too much, so she hurriedly stopped.

"Teacher, I finished all the questions when I handed in the paper. I feel pretty good. Don't worry."

With a complicated expression on his face, Lao Lin took out an orange from the bag and handed it over. He wanted to reach out and pat Ning Yan's shoulder half way before putting it back.

"It's okay, the exams are over, don't think about these things, as long as you have a good attitude!"

No matter how you hear this, it seems that you don't believe her.

Ning Yan looked at the orange stuffed in his hand and wanted to defend himself, "No, teacher, I really think it's quite simple..."

Before the word Shan came out, Lao Linyu nodded earnestly, "I know it's okay, you eat oranges, eat them quickly."

Ning Yan was at a loss for words, she peeled the orange in silence, and stood aside to eat the orange.

She tore it petal by petal, and when she ate the last petal, the exam was over.

The two of them saw Xu Wei walking out from a long distance, with a mournful expression on his face.

Before Lao Lin could speak, Xu Wei saw the two of them, and the muscles on his face moved, as if he wanted to cry but held back:

"It's over, Mr. Lin, I think I'm done. My answers to the last two questions are outrageous. I must have made a mistake!"

Perhaps Ning Yan had paved the way for Lao Lin before, but seeing Xu Wei now, words of comfort came at his fingertips.

Xu Wei was cheered up by Lao Lin's few words, looked up at Ning Yan, saw that she seemed to have been out for a long time, couldn't help asking:

"What time did you come out?"

"It's almost five o'clock."

Xu Wei was taken aback for a moment, seeing that she didn't look downcast at all, some guesses appeared in his heart.

"How much does your answer to the second last question count? My answer is quite strange, isn't it one-third..."

Ning Yan answered directly: "The root of third is 117."

Xu Wei was stunned again, opening and closing his mouth, "Then we both count the same..."

Ning Yan nodded, not intending to continue this topic.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be excited, and there were some inconspicuous strangeness in his eyes, "What about your last question, my answer is also quite strange, I calculated 2.3331"

Ning Yan glanced at him, shook her head, "I calculated it to be 1."

"How could it be?" Xu Wei said doubtfully, and he started to verify it almost the moment he heard Ning Yan's answer, "I used the formula for the last question correctly, and I even calculated it two or three times on the draft paper..."

"I didn't say I was the correct answer."

Ning Yan frowned slightly, a little uncomfortable with Xu Wei's self-evident tone.

"I am……"

Xu Wei wanted to say more.

Lao Lin noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two, and thought that they were both severely suppressed by the competition, so he hurriedly intervened to comfort them.

"Okay, okay, the exam is over after the exam, don't think about what's missing, the answers are all written, can I still change it?"

Xu Wei stopped talking.

Lao Lin coughed, handed the bag of oranges to Xu Wei, and waved to the two.

"Let's go, we agreed to eat seafood buffet at noon, if you don't want to go, forget it."

This statement works wonders.

Xu Wei took the oranges that Lao Lin handed over, and his expression of unilaterally arguing just now changed and returned to normal.

"Why do I feel that Xu Wei is acting weird these days?" Ning Yan felt more and more weird.

Xiaoqi simply searched for the information and passed it on.

【He has no way of knowing his own mental state. All he knows is that his family conditions were not very good since he was a child. His father was a gambler. He owed a lot of debt and ran away, leaving him and his mother alone. 】

[His mother died of illness during the summer vacation, and now he is left alone, maybe he was not psychologically counseled in time. 】

Ning Yan frowned, somewhat disapproving of Xiao Qi's guess.

It's normal to have a big change in temperament due to the death of a relative, but it's strange that when Ning Yan met Xu Wei for the first time, he acted like a normal person.

Although he didn't do anything unusual in the past few days, when Ning Yan came into contact with him, he always felt that something was not quite right.

If it wasn't that the other party was suddenly affected, it was because he hid it too well.

"Ning Yan, don't you want to go?"

It was Xu Wei's voice.

Lao Lin and Xu Wei walked a few steps forward only to find that Ning Yan had stopped in place, and now they all turned their heads to look at her.

"Just come."

Ning Yan responded, and trotted two steps to follow.

The two left and right, put Lao Lin in the middle c, and the three walked forward side by side.

The seafood buffet that Lao Lin is looking for is not far away, just near the hotel, and the average consumption is acceptable, which can be regarded as the mid-range level.

The buffet lasted for two hours, even if Ning Yan could eat it on weekdays, it would be completely insignificant in front of the two boys.

Especially Xu Wei kept getting things from the table, and at the end he couldn't eat any more, so he had to stuff it into his stomach. Seeing Lao Lin, he began to mask his pain, but he still couldn't bear to remind him.

The three returned to the hotel after dinner.

Ning Yan lived in a room alone, and when they left, Lao Lin acted like a nagging old woman, repeatedly telling her to lock the door at night before leaving at ease.

The results are not available until 8 o'clock the next morning, so you don't have to rush to get up tomorrow.

It was only around eight o'clock in the evening at the moment, Ning Yan washed up first, and just when she was about to lay down happily on the bed to watch dramas, a voice chat invitation popped up on her phone.

It was sent by An Yi.

While plugging in the earphones and connecting, the other party spoke in an unusually excited tone, and asked her how she felt about today's game with a smile.

"It's pretty good. It's not difficult. It shouldn't be a big problem."

She told An Yi what she had no chance to say at Lao Lin's place, and the other party was very excited when she heard it.

"Xiao Yan, what time will you arrive in City G tomorrow?"

"It should be around 11:[-] noon, what's wrong?"

An Yi hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm just thinking, didn't I say that I wanted to go out for dinner last time, it just happened to be Saturday and Sunday tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if you arrive at noon tomorrow, we just happen to have hot pot together?"

The other party's proposal moved Ning Yan very much.

Compared with seafood and hot pot, she still prefers hot pot.

Without even thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay, where shall we meet tomorrow?"

"I'll go directly to the station to pick you up. When you arrive, let's go directly."

"also."

It happened to be nothing to do tomorrow, and she didn't bring many things with her this trip to the province, so she just carried a small satchel, so it didn't seem cumbersome to go shopping.

The two briefly chatted about some topics between girls, and the doorbell was rang at this time.

Ning Yan said something to An Yi who was on the phone, and held the phone to look through the cat's eyes, but she didn't expect it to be Xu Wei.

"what happened?"

Ning Yanmen opened a crack, revealing half of his face.

Seeing that she opened the door, Xu Wei seemed to be relieved, with the same smile on her face as before, and said very embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I was not in the right state when I left the examination room today, so I quarreled with you a few times. The more I thought about it, the more wrong I was, so I came here to apologize to you."

Ning Yan felt strange, and shook her head: "It's okay, I understand, and I didn't take it to heart."

"That's good. You didn't show any expression after eating. I thought you were angry with me." Xu Wei rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm just not very hungry, you think too much." Ning Yan didn't want to continue such a topic with him, and asked instead: "Is there anything else you want to do when you come to see me?"

Xu Wei said in a low voice, as if he had just realized it, he took out a paper and pen from his pocket and gave Ning Yan a nod.

"There is indeed something, it is the last question of today, I want to discuss with you the idea of ​​solving the problem, my formula..."

Xu Wei chattered a long list.

On the phone call, An Yi's ears were calloused, and she couldn't help asking, "Xiao Yan, who is the other party? Xu Wei?"

Ning Yan wore earphones in one ear, and when she heard An Yi's inquiry, she turned her head away and said in a low voice, "Well, it's him."

Unexpectedly, this sentence is like a switch.

Xu Wei, who had been chattering just now, stopped abruptly, and looked at her with something strange.

"Are you on the phone?"

Ning Yan nodded, told An Yi to talk later, and then hung up the phone.

Xu Wei stared at Ning Yan's movements, and tentatively asked, "Is it...boyfriend?"

Ning Yan finally understood where the inexplicable discomfort these days came from.

is offensive.

The other party's approach at the beginning was still within her comfort zone, but Xu Wei's various behaviors in the past few days obviously wanted to break her comfort zone.

It is a temptation, but also a plan.

"Student Xu, we don't seem to know each other well enough to tell each other about our private affairs."

Ning Yan showed a polite smile, "It's a bit late, I don't have much time to discuss the topic right now."

She didn't answer his question directly, but in Xu Wei's ears, Ning Yan seemed to have admitted the fact that the other end of the phone was her boyfriend.

"No, Ning Yan, I want to say that we should all focus on our studies now. It's easy to be distracted by falling in love at this time. Think about today's competition. If you don't fall in love, you must be sure according to your previous level..."

"Xu Wei."

After listening to a long series of fatherly remarks on the other side, Ning Yan couldn't take it anymore and interrupted.

"I still say that, the relationship between us is just classmates, I don't need to tell you about my private affairs, and you don't have to impose your own ideas on me, because I don't care at all."

"It's getting late, I'm going to rest, if you come out for too long, Teacher Lin will be anxious."

The door is closed.

Xu Wei stared at the closed door, his face, which was full of embarrassment just now, gradually became complicated, and his eyes gradually became resentful.

He stood there for more than a minute, clenched and loosened his fists, parted his lips, and cursed silently.

【he's gone. 】

Xiaoqi reported in time.

Ning Yan poured herself a glass of water, gulped and drank a couple of sips before putting it down, thinking about the scene just now, she felt that she was not free to talk so much with him.

It's really interesting, she and Xu Wei usually get in touch with each other in competitions at most, and they don't know why they have such a strong sense of father towards her.

She hates others to teach her how to do things.

Especially those who have no sense of proportion.
