After installing O, I was arched by Beta

The sweet-scented osmanthus in October started the national competition in November.

Shang Mu and Lu Fan passed all the way, from the city competition to the provincial competition, and from the provincial competition to the national competition.

After more than a month of study and competition, finally in late December, we ushered in the national finals.

The competition was held in City Q, and five of the No. [-] Middle School in City H made it to the finals of the math competition this year, just as the teacher had predicted.

H City No. [-] Middle School has given the competition students a holiday since Thursday, and asked them to go home and make adjustments, and set off for Q City together on Friday.

Shang Mu and Lu Fan are on holiday on Thursday, and it happens that Shang’s father hasn’t returned to City H for a long time. After this national competition, there will be a small holiday on New Year’s Day. He plans to call Shang Mu, Lu Fan, and Shang Mu’s grandparents and grandparents together. Have a good New Year's Day.

The day of the competition is the last day of December 2020, which happens to be a Saturday.

There are lights and festoons outside, and everyone is preparing for the New Year's Eve.

The fireworks show on the municipal square in Q City is a must-see for everyone during the annual New Year's Eve.

Everyone gathered in the square, counting down together to welcome the arrival of the new year, and waiting for the sun to rise here, watching the first flag raising of the new year.

Early in the morning, Shang Mu and Lu Fan took their necessary calculators, various rulers and compasses, and documents, and went out in Song Qingyun's car.

Passing by the municipal square of Q City, the square is surrounded by flowers and full of people.

The sound of joyful music, coming in through the car window, is a familiar Happy New Year song for everyone.

Shang Mu held Lu Fan's hand, turned to him and asked, "Have you ever seen the fireworks in the Municipal Square? Let's watch it together tonight!"

The boy was wearing a thick down jacket, and his hands were warm like a small stove.Holding the boy's slightly cold fingers, covering him back and forth, muttering in a low voice: "It is said that people with cold hands and feet are because no one hurts them. It's strange... I love you so much, why are your hands still so cold... ..."

Obviously it should be a joke, but when he said it, he was extremely serious.

Lu Fan couldn't help but raised his hand to pinch his face, and said, "I've seen it on TV before, the fireworks display in Q Municipal Square."

At that time, my grandfather was still there, and I would wait with him in front of the TV to watch CCTV’s New Year’s Eve party, and then when the camera switched to the Municipal Square, I would count down with everyone in the square.

Then watch the beautiful fireworks together.

In his mobile phone, there will always be transfers between two people.

The amount transferred was huge, it could be called a huge sum... It was the living expenses that his parents transferred to him for the next year.

Every time he just glanced at it, he locked the phone screen.

Silently, I asked myself: Why do I have to be reminded "I am an abandoned child" at the beginning of each year?

And every second day, when grandpa took the wrapped red envelope, opened the door of the bedroom, and walked out with the sunshine, that was the most beautiful time for him.

Until my grandfather passed away two years ago, his New Year's Day seemed to have become a night of singing in his own bar and a lively carnival with others.

Lu Fan put away his thoughts and turned to look at the young man beside him: "After the exam, let's go to the municipal square together."

The boy smiled at him and rolled his eyes: "Okay."

Arriving at Q City No. [-] Middle School, Shang Mu was about to open the door and get out of the car when Lu Fan stopped him.

The boy took his arm and put on the crooked scarf and hat for him, then kissed the corner of his lips and let him get out of the car.

The boy blushed and opened the door to go out.

The two were in examination rooms 5 and 6 respectively, and other classmates they knew were also assigned to different examination rooms.

Standing at the entrance of Shang Mu's examination room, Lu Fan told him the precautions in the examination room sentence by sentence, and asked him some knowledge points that he did not usually do well.

After half an hour of knowledge points passed, the teacher in the examination room went out to remind him.

"Students who have not yet entered the examination room, go to the toilet and come in quickly. The exam will start in 10 minutes!"

Shang Mu turned his head and looked back at the corridor where there were only three or five people left, and waved to Lu Fan: "I'm going in, the exam went well!"

Lu Fan grabbed the young man's hand and squeezed his fingers between his fingers: "Didn't you always ask me to share your study spirit? Come and get a good grade in the exam."

Shang Mu quickly withdrew his hand: "Bah, bah, what nonsense, keep your learning spirit, luck, whatever you want! It's not me who is going to take the first place... oh, I can do it myself, don't worry , no problem Ang, trust your boyfriend."

Lu Fan rubbed his head, pointed at the ring on his chest with his fingertips, and said, "It's my wife."

The boy's cheeks turned red immediately, and he stomped at him: "Brother!"

As soon as a title was called out, before he had time to make a long speech, he was hugged into his arms.

The boy's low voice rang in his ears, complaining dissatisfiedly: "It's been a long time since I got the certificate, Mu Mu... When will I hear you, sober husband..."

Shang Mu didn't know what was wrong with him, he had a clear and cold voice, but he could hear a bit of a coquettish feeling.

He pulled his clothes awkwardly, his eyes could not help avoiding: "Wait...wait... oops, the exam is coming up, is it time to talk about love? Hurry up and go back to your exam room!"

Then he came out of the boy's arms and pushed him into the examination room next door.

In an exam, when you start to do the questions seriously, the time goes by unconsciously.

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When the teacher in the examination room asked everyone to check the answers for the last time, Shang Mu just checked the uncertain content again.

After that, I checked whether my name and test number were correct, and finally put the clean and tidy answer sheet on the desk, waiting for the teacher to collect it.

This year is the first year of the reform of country X's competition examinations. Artificial intelligence is used to scan and grade the papers. Therefore, the requirements for the cleanliness of the students' questions and the details of each step are relatively high.

In this exam, 10 minutes were deliberately added to allow candidates to copy the answer sheet.

The teacher complained about other students while closing the paper: "This word is written... I won't say anything, you should write down the number of the last answer clearly? Even if the machine can't recognize the formulas and steps in your middle, at least it can recognize it. Tell me whether your answer is right or not, maybe you can get a point."

"Don't write it, don't write it, I'll give you a warning if I write it again! I'm slow in closing the papers, but it doesn't mean I'll give you more time to do the questions."

"Are you a ghost character? Let alone a machine, even a human being can't recognize it. When learning mathematics, can you also practice your handwriting?"

The teacher who collected the papers kept complaining all the time, but when he came to Shang Mu's side, he didn't pick out a single mistake, and spit out two words: "Not bad."

After checking all the test papers, Shang Mu walked out of the examination room with the test papers, and Lu Fan was already waiting outside the door.

When Shang Mu saw Lu Fan, he didn't even say hello or hello, and just took his test paper: "Come and give me the correct answer!"

The students in other examination rooms also hurried when they saw them;

Come here in a hurry, afraid that it will be a while later, as if they both ran away.

"Lu Fan, Shang Mu, how are you doing? I find it very difficult, and I am not sure about several questions!"

"I'm also... not sure about at least ten questions... I hope the other ones are all right, otherwise I'm really going to die..."

"I have [-] questions...Why is this exam so difficult? It feels like it's not at the same level as the provincial exam!"

Everyone was discussing on twitter, and Shang Mu quietly immersed himself in the test paper.

After reading the last question anxiously, he let out a long sigh of relief: "There are five questions that are different, and the others are all right. There are four questions that I am not sure about. But... 37 questions, I thought ;

There is no big problem with the thinking... Is it because I haven't considered it comprehensively? "

As he spoke, he pointed out the question to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan took his test paper and glanced at it. He didn't look at it carefully, and immediately pointed out the problem: "I missed a point. This question is different from the question on page 230 in the red textbook that I did before. The solution It's roughly the same, just changed the form. You did it wrong at the time, and the test was not bad."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the other four questions with different meanings: "The remaining three questions are innovative questions, and there are no similar questions in the supplementary books, including previous exam questions. There is another question that is a regular question, which is also a previous question. You got it wrong."

Shang Mu's face collapsed.

Because the teacher said before, every national competition will have innovative questions to test the students' potential.

He got three innovative questions wrong at once, and he also got two routine questions wrong, wouldn't he be screwed?

Lu Fan saw Shang Mu's mouth curled up, with loss and sadness written all over his face.I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He took a photo of his test paper and sent it to the competition group, then folded the test papers of the two of them, and said goodbye to the other students one by one.

After that, he took his depressed little A out.

"There are six innovative questions in total, and you have three that are different from mine. Besides, what I do may not be right. There is nothing to be sad about, dear." He took the boy's hand and touched his warm palm.

The person led by him was still looking at the folder in his hand unwillingly, chattering quietly all the way.

"How to do it... I feel like my mind is stuck, and I can't solve these few problems."

"It's a little difficult. Will I perform abnormally and then fall out of the top ten... If I get into the top three, I will add 20 points to the college entrance examination, and if I get into the top ten, I will get 10 points. If I fall out of the top ten, won't I be ten points Can't add them all?"

"It's over. After studying for so long, I finally learned to be lonely..."

Lu Fan listened to his thoughts all the way, and sighed helplessly.He simply turned his feet and led the person away from the examination area of ​​the teaching building.

He randomly found an empty classroom, led him in, closed the door, and pinched the boy's soft lips.

Shang Mu was so startled that his eyes widened: "Uh...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

"The competition is over, so don't think about it anymore. Baby, I assure you, with the difficulty of this question, you are performing at a normal level, and you won't fall out of the top five."

Shang Mu pushed his arm away, and asked in disbelief, "Then what if I fall out of the top five?"

Lu Fan: "Then I'll show you the last time."

Shang Mu: ...

He doesn't want the top five, he doesn't need the top ten or the top twenty!He doesn't even need points!

Now, he just wants to go to Lu Fan!
