Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 257

A series of bubbles burst out of the muddy hot pot soup, all kinds of ingredients and soup base rolled up and down, and the curling green smoke mixed with the smell of spices drifted around.

Zhang Zhichuang took the initiative to take over the job of holding the spoon, holding the colander in his hand, fished out the fat beef roll that was just right from the boiling thick soup, and gave Lu You a big spoon first.

"Boss, thank you very much for inviting us out for such a sumptuous meal."

"You're welcome."

Lu You took the fat beef roll, and naturally took more than half of it for Tang Wan.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhichuang gave another spoonful to Qin Xiyue who was looking forward to it, and said, "Sister Xiyue also eat more, if you haven't arrived, maybe you can grow a few centimeters taller."

Qin Xiyue's expression collapsed quickly, and she said coldly, "Zhang Zhichuang, you are really annoying!"

Zhang Zhichuang didn't feel guilty at all, he took a few pieces of minced meat from the pot and poured them into his own bowl, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said, "I brought you something to eat, and then said that I hate it, you have no conscience!"

"Conscience is for people. You are not a human being, so there is no need to have a conscience for you!"

Qin Xiyue kneaded the fat beef roll in the bowl, stuffed it into her mouth, and propped up her cheeks on both sides, round and round, like a hamster hiding food.

I have to say that this hot pot restaurant is expensive for a reason. The fatty beef rolls here are tender, rich in fat, and have a distinct beef flavor. The quality is more than a little higher than that of the 31 boxes outside.

"Mmm~ It's delicious!"

Qin Xiyue swallowed the food in her mouth, looked at Tang Wan with sparkling eyes, and asked, "Sister Wanwan, do you want another fat cow?"

"I don't think one is enough, let's have two!"

With that said, Logan took the tablet next to the bench, and quickly ordered two plates of high-quality beef.

Zhang Zhichuang glanced at Qin Xiyue, picked up a plate of shrimp and slipped it into the pot, then took a colander and stirred it in circles, and asked nonchalantly: "In two days, the training camp will be over, do you have any plans?" What plan?"

Lu You took a sip of the sour plum soup to relieve the tiredness, and said, "I don't have any plans, I should eat and drink, and wait for the notice of the second round of training."

Tang Wan followed up and said: "There is only one exam left, and there are more than 20 of me. It is probably impossible for me to enter the next round."

Lu You frowned and asked, "So, do you want to go back? I'll help you book a ticket."

"I'm not going back! I can finally get rid of my mother's restraint. I have no excuse to get pocket money when I go back, and I have to get up early to go to class. If I stay at home, I will be treated like a dog by her.

It doesn't matter if you order her around, but the key point is that she still hates this and that. She can't even tell you to do something, it's really annoying.

It's better to stay here, have a place to live, have money to spend, be free, have no nagging, and be with you! "

Zhang Zhichuang and Qin Xiyue felt the same emotion in their hearts: Mother of the world!
Even if she is as good as Logan, she can't escape the fate of being rejected at home.

"It's okay if you don't go back, you have to tell your aunt in advance, don't let her worry."

"I know."

Zhang Zhichuang put the colander upside down on a clean plate, and said, "I'm about the same as you. I'll stay here until the second round of training. The head teacher said that the superior will provide free accommodation so that we don't have to run around."

Qin Xiyue lowered her eyes, held the chopsticks tightly with her right hand, her fingertips turned white with force, and said in a low tone: "My school has a class time requirement, and I have to go back to class, so I won't stay here. The second session of the closing ceremony I’ll go back the next day and buy a high-speed rail ticket for the morning.”

Zhang Zhichuang raised the glass of orange juice to her, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you, I wish you a smooth journey in advance."

Qin Xiyue curled her lips, clinked glasses with him reluctantly, and said, "I only know you after eight lifetimes of bad luck."

"You have to thank me for using up your bad luck, and it will be good luck in the future."

Qin Xiyue picked up the cup, drank the cold coconut milk in one gulp, and glanced at Lu You and Zhang Zhichuang one after another.

"I really envy the brains of you two. Obviously, everyone has the same teacher, the same class, and the study time is about the same. As a result, one of you stabilized No.1, and the other rushed to the second position, but I reversed the car." .”

Tang Wan comforted softly: "It's okay, Xiyue, you're not the only one who reversed the car, and I'll accompany you, let's mess it up together!"

"Don't make trouble."

Lu You forked a piece of fried foie gras for Tang Wan, and said, "I've been studying hard for the past few days, unlike you, you fish when you have free time, and you don't have any ambition to fight hard."

When Qin Xiyue heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable.Those who performed poorly could get more than 20 in the exam, and she felt like a clown.

Tang Wan shrugged and said: "The purpose of the training camp is to select the members of the national team, and only a small group of you have the opportunity, like us, we don't just come here to go through the motions.

With one or two test scores, I may be able to surpass you with luck, but once the number of exams increases and I start to test my true level, it is impossible for me to surpass you at all.

It is a waste of time and life to persevere in the impossible. It is better to start early and do what you like. "

Logan's words sound a little negative, but they are very close to reality.There is a saying that says that some people get [-] points in the test because their ability is [-] points, while some people get [-] points in the test because there are only [-] points in the test paper.

This situation also exists in the training team.Even though we are already among the top middle school students in mathematics in the country, the gap is still very obvious.

The IMO national team has six places, and Lu You is the only one in the top tier. Next is Zhang Zhichuang and the elegant brother Shang Hai, who are fighting for the second and third places.The remaining three belonged to the four to fifteen contenders.

As for the [-]th place, when the scores came out the next day, the gap was widened, and there was basically no hope of entering the next round.

Qin Xiyue smiled wryly, and laughed at herself: "According to what you said, wouldn't my hard work for the past three months be wasted?"

"It's not all waste."

Zhang Zhichuang fished out two shrimp slips floating on the hot pot soup, drained off the excess soup, and put them in Qin Xiyue's bowl.

"Come on, be careful it's hot."

"Well, thank you."

Qin Xiyue pierced the shrimp slide with chopsticks, put it to her mouth and blew twice, and asked, "What is your basis for saying no to waste?"

Standing on the dining table with his left hand, Zhang Zhichuang held his cheek with his palm open, and teased in an extremely awkward tone: "At least let you understand what level my IQ is probably at."

"You shit!"

Qin Xiyue was so angry that she warmed up on the spot. If the country had not had a complete criminal law, she would have poked a few big holes in Zhang Zhichuang's body with chopsticks.

"Can you talk properly! I'm sad, and I'm still making trouble! Believe it or not, I'll cry for you!"

Lu You hurriedly interjected to prevent the two from fighting.

"Qin Xiyue, you just need to listen to the words about hemorrhoids. I always think that simply having a high IQ is not a good thing at all.

Human development is mostly balanced. If you have a super high IQ, you will naturally have to make up for it elsewhere, such as emotional and physical deficiencies.

Just like some gifted teenagers, they are often immersed in their personal world, showing strong talent in a certain field, but they are withdrawn or even autistic when they are outside. "

Tang Wan blinked her eyes and asked, "But I don't think you're autistic, are you? You're proficient in dealing with interpersonal relationships, and you can convince my mother to be submissive with just a few words."

"Uh... I have a reason for this. I can't tell you the details, and you might not believe me if I tell you."

"How do you know I don't believe you if you don't tell me?"

"Then I'll talk to you when I have time."

Lu You continued to talk about the topic that was interrupted by Tang Wan, and said lightly: "It is best to have an IQ within an appropriate range, coupled with good guidance and education, in order to reflect its due value.

Otherwise, an excessively high IQ is used to break the law and commit crimes, which will not do any good except bring trauma to society. "

Qin Xiyue raised her hand and gave Zhang Zhichuang a slap on the shoulder, cursing: "Look at God Lu, he is handsome and nice to talk. What about you? You have so many pimples, and you only attack people when you talk. What is the use?"

Zhang Zhichuang raised the corners of his mouth, without any shame in his smile, and said, "I can keep my household registration book in Zu'an, do you think it is useful?"

Qin Xiyue stroked her forehead with a long sigh, and said, "Forget it, arguing with you will only save me a few years of life, so hurry up and give me two more dishes of spicy beef, I'm not full yet."

"You don't have hands? Can't you do it yourself?"

After all, Zhang Zhichuang still picked up the marinated spicy beef and dipped it into the hot pot soup bit by bit with a colander.

"I'm too short to reach."

"Makes sense."

……

For a hot pot meal, apart from Zhang Zhichuang and Qin Xiyue's non-stop coming and going, the big guys ate very happily.

On the way back to the hotel, the four of them did not call Didi, but chose to walk back on foot. The distance of more than two kilometers is not too far, so it was digested.

Lu You and Tang Wan walked in front hand in hand, turning into a classic brain-damaged couple, one second they were talking normally, the next second they could kiss you and me.

Seeing the other two single dogs in the back exclaiming disgustingly, they unanimously pulled a distance of more than ten meters away from them.

Zhang Zhichuang walked on Qin Xiyue's left, his gaze would stay on her face from time to time, and then quickly move away after a while.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for a while, Zhang Zhichuang asked, "Are you in a better mood?"

After a few seconds, Qin Xiyue came to her senses, turned her head to look at Zhang Zhichuang, and said in surprise, "Are you asking me?"

"Otherwise? Who else is around us?"

Qin Xiyue narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "How do you know I'm in a bad mood?"

"Is it hard to guess?"

Zhang Zhichuang unconsciously clenched his left hand, pretending to be relaxed and said: "In the exam of 60 people, if there are more than 40 people, no one will be happy."

Qin Xiyue did not suspect him, and said: "I was in a bad mood at first, but after hearing what Tang Wan said, I also wanted to open it.

I didn't like mathematics very much at first, and I only participated in the competition because my mother asked, saying that there was a recommended place and no need to take the college entrance examination.

Now that I've accomplished my mom's goals, it's time to do what I really want to do. "

Zhang Zhichuang smiled slightly and said, "Very well, I hope everything goes well after you go back."

"You don't ask me what I want to do?"

"This is your private matter. If you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

"Then I won't say anything."
