A genius? I just love studying.

Chapter 31 The exam begins

This year's National High School Mathematics Competition Provincial Competition Chengdu Division was held at Chengdu University. No. 2 Middle School was not far from Chengdu University, only an hour's drive away, so Chen Hui and his team set off today.

Many of the other contestants who were traveling far away had already arrived at Chengdu University yesterday.

After getting off the bus, Chen Hui still looked a little unhappy. He had already gotten off the bus before the motion sickness medicine took effect.

Led by the staff, the group came to a teaching building and sat down in the classroom.

The exam starts at 11 o'clock and lasts for three hours. Now they are resting in this classroom for the time being.

At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting in the classroom. They were obviously contestants from various schools. Judging from their temperament, one could tell that they were the best in their respective schools. The aura of academic masters filled the room.

When Chen Hui and his friends walked in, some were reading books and doing exercises seriously, some were discussing in low voices with their classmates and teachers, and sometimes they frowned and thought hard.

But many people still turned around to look at the group of people from No. 2 Middle School at the door. Obviously, under such circumstances, even the best students from various middle schools in Chengdu could not remain completely calm.

Those who have thunder in their chest but a calm face can be appointed as generals.

You may not feel anything when you just read this sentence, but if a competition can make you feel uneasy and restless, you will understand how difficult it is to remain calm even though you are furious.

"Chen Hui?"

Suddenly, seeing Chen Hui among the contestants from No. 2 Middle School, someone exclaimed and widened their eyes as if they had seen a monster.

"What's wrong? Do you know him? Is he very strong?"

The young man next to the man asked curiously.

"Forehead……"

The student who first exclaimed in surprise had a strange look on his face. "This guy was my classmate in junior high school. Let's just say, there were 1,400 people in our grade back then, and he was in the top 100!"

"But count down!"

"???"

The classroom was not big, and there were quite a few contestants, all sitting quite close together. Although the student lowered his voice, many people still heard what he said, and they couldn't help but have several big question marks in their heads.

Can such contestants also participate in mathematics competitions and compete with them?

"So he's good at math?"

The boy who asked the question first asked again.

"It's the best among all his subjects, maybe around 50 or 60 points."

The classroom fell silent, and everyone looked at the No. 2 Middle School team with strange eyes.

They had always known that No. 2 High School was not a good high school, but they had no idea how bad it was.

until today.

How bad is No. 2 Middle School? How could such a player be chosen to represent No. 2 Middle School in the competition?

Being able to participate in the competition at least means that you are better than most people in the school. If you get 50 or 60 points in math, you are better than most people. They can't imagine what level most people in the school are at.

At this time, a man stood up from the area of ​​Tiewu Middle School, walked towards No. 2 Middle School, and came straight to Liang Peixuan.

"Lao Liang, long time no see!"

Seeing the person coming, Liang Peixuan's face also flashed with joy, "Lehua!"

The two were desk mates in junior high school and elementary school. It can be said that they grew up wearing the same pants and playing in the mud.

But later Sun Lehua went to Tiewu Middle School, and his parents moved near Tiewu Middle School to take care of his studies. Liang Peixuan came to No. 2 Middle School, and the two had fewer opportunities to meet as they were farther apart. At the beginning, they often contacted each other via WeChat, but as their studies became more demanding, they gradually contacted each other less and less.

I didn't expect that the two of us would meet again today when we came to participate in the competition. Both of them were filled with the cordial joy of meeting old friends in a foreign land.

Sun Lehua looked at the other students from No. 2 Middle School next to Liang Peixuan and said, "Shall we talk outside?"

Liang Peixuan didn't think much about it and punched him in the chest, "You've been doing really well lately. You're even able to represent Tiewu Middle School in the competition!"

While saying this, he still walked out of his seat and followed Sun Lehua out of the classroom.

"How about I talk to Uncle Liang and ask you to transfer to Tiewu Middle School?" Sun Lehua said without thinking as soon as he left the classroom, "Didn't a student transfer to your No. 2 Middle School a few days ago?"

"???"

Liang Peixuan was filled with questions, "Why should I transfer to Tiewu Middle School?"

"If you hadn't gotten an upset stomach during the high school entrance exam, with your ability, you would have definitely been able to get into Tiewu Middle School."

Sun Lehua said with deep sorrow, "Look at what you've become now! You can't give up on yourself just because you failed the high school entrance exam!"

"???"

Liang Peixuan was a little amused and didn't know what his friend meant. "I'm fine now."

"Don't lie to me. Look at what you've fallen into now. Chen Hui, the man who came to the competition with you, almost couldn't get into high school after the middle school entrance exam. And you tell me you're doing fine now?"

Sun Lehua shook his head.

"You mean him?"

Liang Peixuan understood. "His grades in other subjects are quite poor, but he is very good at math!"

Sun Lehua suddenly smiled with relief. People really laugh when they are extremely speechless.

He didn't know how his friend could say that a guy who only scored 50 or 60 points in math in the high school entrance examination was very good at math.

"Okay, as long as you're happy!"

Sun Lehua didn't know what had happened. Perhaps the environment had a huge impact on people. In just half a year, the academic master who was on par with him back then had become like this.

He suddenly felt a little bored. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked into the classroom, returning to his seat at Tiewu Middle School.

Liang Peixuan was really confused, but his friend's attitude also made him a little angry. He had been working hard these days and his math skills had improved greatly. His test scores might not be worse than the other party's!
Not long after we sat in the classroom, a staff member came to inform us to enter the examination room.

The exam starts at 10 o'clock and lasts for three hours.

The provincial competition was originally divided into a preliminary test and an additional test, also called the first test and the second test in some places, but in fact, the scores of such small-scale examinations were all announced on the spot. Later, after the Chengdu Mathematical Society studied it, they were too lazy to go back and forth, so they simply merged the preliminary test and the additional test and took the exam together.

An Chengzhang and Zhang Anguo had already prepared the admission tickets and other things. They were competition coaches at school, and when they arrived at the test site, they became competition nannies.

The two of them took the admission tickets and distributed them to the students one by one outside the examination room. They were also responsible for checking whether the students had brought all the stationery and whether the paper on the mineral water bottles had been torn off.

"Feeling better?"

An Chengzhang looked at Chen Hui, whose face was still a little pale, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Chen Hui would get carsick. Otherwise, he would have sent Chen Hui here alone yesterday and paid for him to book a hotel nearby.

An Chengzhang also suffered from motion sickness when he was a child. He knew how uncomfortable it was. This would definitely affect Chen Hui's test state. It was even hard to say whether he could last through the three-hour test.

The three-hour exam not only tests your mental strength, but is also a test of your physical strength.

"I am fine."

Chen Hui took the admission ticket. Although he still felt a little dizzy, it didn't have much impact on him. His sports level was not low and his physical fitness was still excellent.

"Ah."

An Chengzhang patted Chen Hui on the shoulder and said, "If you can't hold on any longer, just leave. You're still young. You can always come back next year."

"Yeah." Chen Hui nodded and walked into the examination room.

I only heard An Chengzhang sigh behind me.

Although he originally did not expect Chen Hui to make a big splash this year, if he could win a prize in his first attempt, it would be a huge boost to Chen Hui's confidence, and would be of great help to his future studies and next year's exams.

Unfortunately, God did not wish.

I just hope he can withstand this blow!
