I reach the pinnacle of life by learning

When Qiao Yu stopped writing, there were still 2 minutes left in the game.

He chose to hand in the paper.

The whole classroom was extraordinarily quiet and dignified. Li Chujie and the leader of the American team, Arthur, should be on their way.

The two team leaders will be the witnesses of the final result.

This situation is probably similar to two children fighting in school. After the teacher has dealt with it, he calls the parents of both parties to avoid arguing afterwards.

After Qiao Yu handed in the paper, the demonstration on the screen was still not over.

Allen stared at the process, remained silent, and touched his chin subconsciously.

But this time, there was no smile on his face.

Even if Qiao Yu's process is the same as Barton's, it's all right.

There is not only one solution to many math problems. It is actually not impossible for a problem to have two or three solutions.

But the problem is that Qiao Yu completed all these independently in just 3 and a half hours.

If someone told Barton before that, hey brother, I know a person who can find out several ways to solve the C3 difficulty questions of the IMO competition in 3 and a half hours, Barton will definitely doubt the authenticity of the matter.

But now, this matter happened right in front of him.

It is impossible to disclose the question, and it is impossible to see the original question in advance. The confidentiality work of the IMO Organizing Committee is beyond doubt.

That's it?

That's it.

Can anyone else do it?

Most importantly, can I do it?

Button stared at the screen all the time, and his knuckles turned a thick pale blue because of too much force.

His mind was blank, and even his teeth began to chatter slowly.

Allen on the podium also fell silent at this time.

His gaze passed over the boy from the east.

The weather in Melbourne is fine today, and the sun shines through the window, coating his black hair with a dazzling golden layer.

There was still no emotion in the other party's dark eyes, no joy, let alone excitement, as if he had expected everything a long time ago.

Allen inexplicably understands why the witches always like to have black eyes in film and television works.

The two leaders arrived in a few minutes.

Li Chujie stepped forward and patted Qiao Yu's shoulder. The young man who had been keeping his expression on his face frowned at this moment with a smile: "You are great, Qiao Yu."

Qiao Yu's body froze for a moment, and she didn't avoid the other party's touch.

On the other side, Arthur also comforted Barton in a low voice.

"It's okay, you didn't lose...you did all the questions correctly."

Barton turned his head and looked out the window, without saying a word, his expression was more gloomy than before.

Sympathy gave him no comfort.

Allen tapped the tabletop of the podium rhythmically with his knuckles, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Just like Li Chujie was partial to Qiao Yu, Alan was also partial to Barton, although Barton was not his student.

Allen said as calmly as possible: "The process and result of both of you are correct, so I think this game is a draw."

From the results, it is true.

The points for each question are fixed, and extra points will not be given just because you give several more solutions; on the contrary, if you make a mistake, points will even be deducted.

Arthur also nodded quickly: "Yes, there is indeed no winner."

A draw is already the best result that Arthur can think of in terms of the current situation.

Everyone is not blind when they say they win, but when they say they lose... According to the bet, if they lose, Button will retire.

Although there are substitutes in the team, the strength of the substitutes cannot catch up with Button himself anyway. The IMO official competition is just a few days later. You must know that in the last competition, the team ranked first with a total score of 1, but the team ranked third with a total score of 227.

Allen continued: "However, I think Barton's remarks are indeed inappropriate, so he should apologize to Qiao Yu for his previous words and deeds."

He turned his head and looked at the boy beside him: "What do you think, Barton?"

There was silence in the classroom.

Button raised his chin, his eyes were slightly red: "Thank you, Professor. But if you lose, you lose."

Qiao Yu saw Barton walking towards him, and stood still in front of him.

Button shivered and said, "I'm sorry for my previous words and deeds. I will...will...retire..."

He couldn't continue speaking at all, turned around and ran out of the classroom.

Arthur said "Sorry", and hurriedly followed, and the echo of his words could still be heard in the corridor: "Barton! Wait for me, Barton!"

Barton ignored Arthur, and he didn't want to go back to the dormitory. In the end, he chose to go to the library on campus.

Because it was a holiday and there were not many people in the library, Barton found a corner, stacked a few thick books on the table, and then spread out a large book, standing in front of him.

When Justin found Barton, he saw such a scene.

He walked over to see that Barton was holding up the book, biting his lower lip tightly, tears were falling down uncontrollably, his eye sockets and the tip of his nose were red from crying.

Looking at the water stains on his collar and the tissues in the trash can, Barton probably has been crying since he came in.

Justin asked in a low voice: "...Do you want to have dinner together?"

Barton opened his mouth, hiccupped, and cried, "You, are you here to see the joke?"

Justin sat down beside him and said, "It's okay Button, you are 3 years younger than him, this game is not fair."

On the other side, Allen, who was still in the classroom, sighed.

He crossed his fingers together and said, "Although it's an unfeeling request, I hope you can persuade him. If you withdraw from the competition, it will be quite troublesome to deal with."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment: "I don't think he would want to see me now..."

Even if she doesn't get along much, Qiao Yu can feel that Barton is an extremely proud person.

At this time, persuading him as a winner may only be counterproductive.

Allen's expression froze, then he smiled and said, "You're right."

"In addition, I heard that you are now a sophomore in high school. Do you plan to study abroad? Maybe you will be willing to apply for my university."

On the way back to the dormitory, Li Chujie coughed: "Do you want to go abroad in university?"

Qiao Yu thought for a moment, then replied, "I don't have any plans for now."

Li Chujie's remaining words were stuck in his throat.

He originally wanted to say that if Qiao Yu wanted to study abroad, he would recommend Princeton University instead of Harvard.

After all, since the rise of the Princeton School during World War II, Princeton University has become a holy place for mathematics all over the world.Today's top mathematicians in the world have all made pilgrimages there.

However, he may not be aware that not only does Qiao Yu not want to go abroad, but he doesn't even want to apply for a mathematics major...

As soon as Qiao Yu returned to the dormitory, she was warmly welcomed by Chu Xining.

Chu Xining yelled: "Qiao Yu, it's amazing, it made my heart ache. Why did you think you started writing at the last moment? When you were halfway through writing, I went to the American team's dormitory next door. , the faces of the group of people on the opposite side are all green!"

Qiao Yu paused, and replied: "I just finished it at that time."

However, if the time is too late, the system will remind him.

The system said sourly: "You are already a mature academic master, and you don't need the system anymore."

"I still need it." After thinking for a long time, Qiao Yu replied, "I lack an alarm clock."

system:"……"

The result of the game caused an uproar within the University of Melbourne.

If the school newspaper of the University of Melbourne is still published at this time, this news must be the headline of this week.

The "Huaxia Education Daily", which was rejected before, also got first-hand information from Li Chujie.

After Zhang Wen received the phone call, she cheered up and told the editor-in-chief the good news.

Qiao Yu won against Barton Smith.

As much as Barton's international reputation was before, Qiao Yu's reputation is now as loud as it is.

Some unscrupulous foreign newspapers also defined this event as "the old star falls and the new star rises".

"Qiao Yu, a mysterious young man from the East, has heard of Barton's reputation long before that."

"It's like a disciple of a family of martial arts, always used to challenge his seniors to make a big splash, and Joe is no exception. He locked his target on Barton and launched a strong attack."

"Whoever loses, quits IMO."

"The young Barton was furious in the face of provocation, and made a domineering bet."

"But Barton didn't expect that two days later, what price he would pay for his underestimation of the enemy..."

While eating morning tea, Chu Xining read in English expressionlessly the newspaper he had just picked up from the newspaper rack in the hotel.

The three girls in the company couldn't help laughing, and even Li Chujie, who led them out for dinner, couldn't help but smile.

Only Qiao Yu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "It's too exaggerated."

Chu Xining: "I can't help it. The paper media industry is in a downturn recently. Editors also need to ask for food."

Qiao Yu glanced at the name of the newspaper, and it turned out to be "Chicago Daily Post".

The two-day IMO exam ended at 01:30 this afternoon.

Barton actually kept his promise and did not participate in this IMO competition.

After waiting for two more days, they will know the result of this competition.The rest of the time is given to the marking team.

After the competition, the nerves of all the contestants finally stopped being tense, and many of them cried after leaving the examination room.

The competition committee also lifted the ban on the personal freedom of the players.

In order to take the students to relax, Li Chujie invited the whole team to eat Cantonese cuisine at his own expense.

This is a morning tea shop opened by Chinese in Melbourne. Li Chujie has also been here before, and the taste is not bad.

Although in Qiao Yu's eyes, the soup is a bit salty and the skin of the roast duck is not crispy enough, but it is still very kind to be able to eat hometown food in a foreign country.

It's 4pm after dinner.

As soon as Qiao Yu returned to the dormitory, he found two people standing at the door.

One is Patton, and the other looks like an adult version of Patton, both of whom have the same blonde hair and blue eyes.

When Andrew Smith heard the news, he took a leave of absence from school and flew from San Francisco to Melbourne.

He had come to bring Barton home.

"Hello, I'm Andrew, Barton's father." He stretched out his hand to Qiao Yu, "I apologize to you on his behalf. In fact, I think Huaguo is a very remarkable country. The people and leaders there Those who are also worthy of respect."

His tone was very sincere.

Qiao Yu: "It's nothing, I didn't take this matter to heart."

"Barton, say goodbye to Qiao Yu." Andrew put his son's shoulders on his shoulders.

Barton then turned his attention to Qiao Yu.

He has returned to the state when he first met Qiao Yu, like a fighting cock with its head held high.

"Qiao Yu." Button said, "I will remember your name. Next time, I won't lose again."

The author has something to say: Qiao Yu: ...there is no next time, one gold medal is enough, so I won't participate next year =. =
