The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Wang Gang arrived at Qin's house, Qin's father and mother directly brought him a plate of watermelon. Just as Qin Chuan was about to reach out to take a piece of watermelon to eat, Qin's mother hit him with one hand.

"Xie Ling is the guest, let him choose first."

"He's not an outsider." Qin Chuan said indifferently: "Didn't we do this before?"

"That was the past. Xie Lin came here to help you today." Qin's father said angrily, "Qin Chuan, you are almost sixteen years old. Don't you understand the ways of the world?"

Qin Chuan sipped the watermelon juice on his fingers speechlessly, and then said to Wang Gang: "Xie Lin, you choose a piece of watermelon first! Otherwise, I won't be able to eat watermelon today."

Wang Gang didn't hesitate and took a piece of the nearest watermelon to eat.

Qin Chuan looked at his parents. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear.

"Can I eat it?"

Father Qin said unhappily: "Eat, eat!"

Qin Chuan smiled and took the biggest and reddest piece of watermelon.

Mother Qin sighed, she was helpless with her son.

"I heard from Qin Chuan that there is a special student in No. 4 Middle School who can get into No. 4 Middle School even if his grades don't meet the passing line?"

"Yes, No. 4 Middle School will give a chance to those students whose scores in the high school entrance examination are not up to the standard but whose scores in a certain subject are particularly good." Wang Gang said:
"Uncle Qin, I think Qin Chuan still has a chance to be admitted as a special student."

Qin's father asked excitedly: "How do we take the exam for this special student?"

Wang Gang explained: "As long as you are a fresh graduate, you can apply for the specialty students of No. 4 Middle School, but before the high school entrance examination, you need to go to No. 4 Middle School to take an exam. Only the top three specialty students in each subject are selected in No. 4 Middle School."

Mother Qin frowned and said, "There should be a lot of people signing up!"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Yes, there are quite a few, but the exams at No. 4 Middle School are relatively simple, so the school doesn't focus on scores, only rankings."

Father Qin asked: "Are there any requirements for this registration?"

Wang Gang said: "You must get a good score in one of the subjects in the mock exam."

Father Qin said thoughtfully: "It's not easy to be a student with special talents. Are there students with special talents in sports?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "There is no physical education. No. 4 Middle School only accepts students with specialties in core subjects."

Qin's father asked worriedly: "Which subject is Qin Chuan good at?"

Mother Qin said: "Chuan'er's Chinese is OK."

Wang Gang advised: "Auntie, I advise Qin Chuan not to sign up for the three big courses of Chinese, mathematics and English. He can try politics and biology."

"Why?" Mother Qin asked puzzledly.

"Chinese, math and English are the three major courses with the most applicants and the most intense competition. On the contrary, politics has fewer applicants and the chances are greater."

As soon as Wang Gang explained, Qin's father and his wife understood, but they were also worried: "Qin Chuan's political grades are average. I noticed that he failed every exam after he entered junior high school."

"If I work hard in the next year, I should have a chance." Wang Gang explained:
"I took tutoring classes with Qin Chuan for a summer and found that his basics were just a little weak. Uncle Qin, you can hire a professional tutor for him and start tutoring from the first grade of junior high school. The effect will be better."

Mr. and Mrs. Qin were quite convinced by Wang Gang's words. After all, his IQ was at least 200.

"Okay, I'll find a tutor for Qin Chuan tomorrow." Qin's father said with a smile: "Xie Lin, thank you! I'll trouble you to give Qin Chuan some advice."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, you're welcome. Qin Chuan and I are good friends. This little thing is nothing."

Qin's father said: "If Qin Chuan was half as good as you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Qin Chuan was not convinced and said: "How am I worse than Xie Lin? He is not as good as me at playing football!"

Qin's father said unhappily: "Can you study harder? Football is not an exam item in the high school entrance exam."

Qin Chuan was obviously still unconvinced, so Wang Gang interrupted and said, "Uncle Qin, I think Qin Chuan is also very talented in football. Have you ever thought about training him in that direction?"

"Can he do it?" Qin's father doubted: "Qin Chuan has never participated in a formal competition, he just plays for fun at school!" Wang Gang said: "Uncle Qin can take Qin Chuan to a sports school. Taking the high school entrance exam may not be the only way out."

Qin Chuan raised his hand in agreement and said, "Dad, I want to play football."

After hearing this, Father Qin really started to think seriously.

The next day, Qin's father paid someone to find connections at the sports school and find a coach to see if his son had the talent to play football.

Wang Gang was not wrong. Qin Chuan did have athletic talent. In addition, he liked playing football. After being tested by a professional coach, he believed that Qin Chuan should develop in the direction of a sports student.

Qin's mother also went to the middle school to find teachers to learn about some policies for sports students, and discovered that Denghua High School had lower requirements for sports students. With Qin Chuan's current grades, he might have a chance if he worked hard.

Finally, Qin's father made the decision to let Qin Chuan practice football, but he also had to take tutoring classes to be prepared for both situations.

After Qin Chuan's matter was settled, Qin Qian found an opportunity to block Wang Gang.

"Please have a soda." Qin Qian handed Wang Gang a bottle of soda without giving any reason.

"Because of Qin Chuan's matter?" Wang Gang took the soda and said with a smile.

"Thanks to you, Qin Chuan has been very happy recently. He practices football very hard." Qin Qian said.

Wang Gang said: "You're welcome. Qin Chuan and I are childhood friends after all. If I can help him, I will definitely do so."

Qin Qian leaned against the wall, lowered her head and said, "My dad plans to let me study abroad after I graduate from high school."

Wang Gang took a sip of soda and said, "You don't want to go?"

Qin Qian said in a low voice: "That's not the case. I'm just worried that I won't be able to learn well even if I go abroad. My grades are average now, and I may not be able to learn well even if I go abroad. I'm afraid my dad will waste his money."

Wang Gang said: "As long as you want to learn, you can still learn it. Foreign courses are easier. The main thing is that you must pass the language test. I can tutor you."

Qin Qian sneered: "You are a junior high school kid, and you want to tutor me, a high school student?"

Wang Gang said calmly: "I have already taught myself all the high school courses. I tried to do Xiaochuan's test paper once and got a higher score than him."

Qin Qian looked at Wang Gang in astonishment and said with a wry smile: "An IQ of 200 is indeed different."

Wang Gang said: "Do you want me to help you with your studies?"

Qin Qian shook her head and said, "You have less than a year left before the high school entrance exam, so I won't delay you. My dad has already found a tutor for me, and I want to try it first."

Wang Gang said nothing more after hearing this.

Qin Qian suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about studying abroad? With your IQ, studying abroad should be easy. You can earn royalties from writing novels, so you should be able to afford the cost of studying abroad."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I don't have such plans. I think the situation in China is pretty good right now. It's a thriving scene. There's no need to go abroad."

"Really?" Qin Qian murmured to herself thoughtfully.

After Wang Gang finished drinking the soda and was about to leave, Qin Qian suddenly took out a wristband from her pocket and threw it to Wang Gang.

"It's for you."

Wang Gang caught the wristband and found that it was still Nike.

"Why give it to me?" Wang Gang asked puzzledly.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. If you don't want it, just give it back to me." Qin Qian said domineeringly.

"Yes, it would be a waste if you don't want it." Wang Gang put on the wristband directly.

Qin Qian rolled her eyes and walked into the yard.

"Thank you!" Wang Gang shouted to Qin Qian's back.

Qin Qian paused, but did not look back, and continued to walk forward. (End of this chapter)
