The black fish in the bucket swung its tail at the right time, splashing water that just happened to splash onto Lin Xi's face, and a fishy smell hit her in the face.

Lin Xi went out today with delicate makeup on, intending to learn chess from her teacher Zhu Shiquan.

My good mood was completely ruined by this bucket of water.

Lin Xi could not help but get angry and embarrassed. She lost all her dignity and grace as a young lady. She turned against Bai Fan and said:

"Why are you walking past me with this broken fish in your hand? Do you know how expensive my skirt is today?"

Bai Fan saw that her face and red skirt were splashed with water, so he said to her:

"Xiao Xi, it's all Grandma's fault. Go wash your face first. I'll find Xiao Yu's clothes for you to change into."

Lin Xi sneered:

"That's easy for you to say. My skirt is custom made. Do you think Lin Daiyu wears those rags and tattered clothes?"

When Zhu Shiquan heard Bai Fan claiming to be her grandmother, he thought that they both had the surname Lin. Originally, Zhu Shiquan just wanted to earn some pocket money, but now he became more interested, so he walked to the door and asked her:

"Student Lin Xi, are you and Daiyu sisters?"

Lin Xi replied and thought, didn’t Lin Daiyu just take advantage of the Lin family’s popularity to get close to Zhu Shiquan?

However, she would never admit this relationship. It would be shameless for her to use Lin Daiyu's relationship to take advantage of the relationship. If she admitted it, wouldn't she be able to take advantage of the Lin family's resources in the future?

She, Lin Xi, is not such a fool.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi refused:

"How is that possible? I don't know her at all."

Unfamiliar?

Zhu Shiquan frowned and thought to himself that it was possible that he had heard wrong. He had originally wanted to find some connections from Lin Xi to further establish a relationship with Daiyu, and then see if there was any hope of getting Daiyu to participate in a professional chess tournament.

Since there was no relationship between them, Zhu Shiquan lost interest and just said:

"Okay, then you can find a place to sit first. I'll wait for my master grandmother to come back and ask her if she's free to play a game with you."

At this moment, Lin Xi smelled the fishy smell on her body, as if thousands of ants were crawling over her body, which made her lose some interest in playing chess:

"Teacher Zhu, how about I visit you another day? Today, I will go home and change my clothes."

After saying this, she looked at the cramped courtyard with some suspicion.

Zhu Shiquan glanced at her and saw that she was not really interested in playing chess, so he replied:

"Okay, then you go back first, and we'll make an appointment another day when I'm free."

When Lin Xi and the others passed by Crescent Creek, Daiyu was still washing rose petals in the stream.

Xiao Ran looked towards the stream. The girl was like smoke and a dream, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

He Shuirong placed a mobile phone on the shore to capture the distant view, and aimed the other mobile phone at Daiyu's hand movements to capture close-up shots.

Although Daiyu had only filmed a video once before, her movements and poses were not as professional as those of a model.

Standing alone in the middle of the water, the breeze blows my clothes.

The clear spring water of Temari washes away the dust from the petals.

He Shuirong was tapping on the screen of her mobile phone. She had a classical girlish temperament and was full of charm. Every movement she made was natural and unpretentious.

Every frame is so beautiful that it seems natural.

"Teacher He, have you finished taking the photos? How is it? Let me see it too."

After Daiyu washed the last petal, she put down the bamboo basket, walked closer to He Shuirong, and lowered her head to watch the video playback.

Xiao Ran looked at her leaning against the man in white. They both looked at their phones and talked about something from time to time. The girl had a smiling face and smiled with her head down. That atmosphere touched his heart directly.

He could no longer remember whether this smile had ever belonged to him when they had just gotten engaged.

Xiao Ran wanted to go up to Daiyu and say hello, but he was afraid of He Shuirong who was beside her, so he just stood on the shore and watched.

As for Zheng Yan, as soon as school was over, she went to Jinfeng Yulu with Xu Shaohua to welcome Dr. Zheng from the Department of Mathematics of Yunnan University.

Dr. Zheng has always looked down on poor schools like Nancheng No. 6 Middle School.

For students from poor schools, it is already good enough to take the college entrance examination smoothly and get into an ordinary undergraduate program, but they still dream of taking part in a math competition.

He believed in his heart that this was an act of trying to stop a chariot with one's bare hands and overestimating one's own abilities.

It was just that Principal Zheng paid him a high price to tutor his daughter in mathematics for ten days.

Dr. Zheng happened to come to South City these days to attend a ten-day seminar, so it would be a waste not to make this money.

"Your school will be directly awarded a quota, and then there will be screening within the school?"

Dr. Zheng found it hard to believe. Logically speaking, for such a provincial competition, it was impossible to directly allocate places to a poor school like Nancheng No. 6 Middle School. Usually, the school would first select students based on their academic performance, and then conduct a preliminary round in the city to eliminate a group of students.

Principal Zheng:

"Yes, what's wrong with that?"

Dr. Zheng replied:

"It's not that it's inappropriate, but it stands to reason that only schools that meet the first-level standards can have this opportunity to recommend quotas. It's a bit unbelievable to directly allocate quotas."

After saying that, he asked Zheng Yan for the test paper to check the competition questions.

When Dr. Zheng saw the question, he couldn't help but take a breath:

“The difficulty of the questions is indeed very high, and they are also very flexible.”

He is a doctoral student in the Department of Mathematics at Yunnan University. He solves countless math problems on a daily basis. Logically speaking, solving high school math problems should be a piece of cake for him.

But for Dr. Zheng, the test questions were beyond his level.

He held the pen tip and calculated back and forth on the draft paper, but still couldn't solve it. He couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.

Dr. Zheng couldn't bring himself to take money to help others get rid of disasters, so he had to resort to a delaying tactic:

"Let's eat first. I'll go back tonight and find some ideas to solve the problem. I'll give you the answer tomorrow."

Xu Shaohua, who was standing by, saw Dr. Zheng typing several lines of formulas on a piece of draft paper. They were similar to his original ideas. He had tried that method of solving the problem before, but couldn't find the solution.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, said nothing.

He just took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a look at the steps Lin Heitu took to solve the problem. He felt in his heart that it was indeed the Internet world that hid the real masters.

After dinner, Zheng Yan suggested that she form a study group for the three of them. Dr. Zheng was reluctant at first because he would charge a fee and would only be responsible for tutoring Zheng Yan in math and did not want to accept Xu Shaohua as a student.

But Principal Zheng said:

"Dr. Zheng, you see, we are still relatives. Shaohua and my daughter have always gotten along well. I am worried that my daughter may not be able to digest and absorb some of the knowledge. I want Shaohua to learn with her and make progress together."

Dr. Zheng reluctantly agreed.

After the wine was finished and everyone left, Xu Shaohua saw that Zheng Yan had only written one or two formulas on the test paper. The test paper had to be handed in tomorrow, and he became a little anxious.

Zheng Yan is his childhood sweetheart, and he sincerely hopes that they can improve together in their studies.

However, although he understood some of Lin Heitu's problem-solving steps, he could not fully understand them, and he was unable to figure out the final answer to the problem.
