Xu Zhe shrugged, indicating that he was unable to help.

Wenhao: "Why are you so skilled at playing an adult like my dad?"

Xu Zhe: "I can't help it. I'm just very skilled."

But Wenhao was still a little indignant: "But, wouldn't their parents tell them this?"

Xu Zhe glanced at the girl and said with a smile: "If you can score as well as Song Xingye..."

Wenhao had a pained expression: "Damn it, please don't say that!"

177. Chapter 177 176 Schoolgirls Should Not Be Despised

"This place is perfect for a walk..."

Shen Lan stood on a rock, looking at the surrounding scenery and muttering to herself.

She took out a small notebook in her left hand and a pen in her right hand, and wrote down the opening hours of the place and the time it would take to get here by bus.

Soon, Xu Zhe will come to the provincial capital again to participate in the NOIP semi-finals. After the competition, it is very important to take Xu Zhe to visit. For this reason, Shen Lan started the field investigation early.

She looked toward the creek on her right.

There is a bridge over the river, and it is a wooden suspension bridge. She noticed that when people walked across it, the suspension bridge always swayed, which could easily make timid people unable to move. Some pedestrians even needed to hold the handrails on the side of the bridge to walk across.

Coincidentally, Shen Lan recently read some posts on "love psychology" on the Internet, which emphasized the suspension bridge effect - in thrilling scenes, people's heartbeats will accelerate, and if they experience such scenes with a favorite member of the opposite sex, they will often misunderstand this accelerated heartbeat as the arrival of love.

Shen Lan then realized that people's feelings are very subjective. How we view our own feelings will affect everyone's views and even the emotions that arise from them.

If I let Xu Zhe walk with me across this suspension bridge and try to scare him to trigger his nervousness, will he be able to transform his nervousness into an illusion of being moved?

Thinking of this, Shen Lan decided to go there by herself and do an experiment.

The girl jumped down from the rockery, hurried to the suspension bridge and walked across.

Then she realized the problem.

First, the bridge did shake, but she felt it was hard to make her feel particularly nervous. Considering Xu Zhe's personality, she felt that the effect should be quite limited.

The biggest problem is that the water in this small river is not very clean. Standing on the bridge, you can still smell a faint stench.

Putting aside whether the suspension bridge effect can work, just say that in this kind of environment, if you want to be romantic... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?

Shen Lan held her breath and left quickly.

She returned to the rockery and continued to think about her plans for the date.

That’s right, although nominally it was just a semi-final exam for the competition between the two of them, in the girl’s mind, it was already a date for the two of them.

On the opposite side of the suspension bridge is a garden.

Amid the bright flowers, the two chatted more and more deeply, and finally couldn't help themselves... Such a scene flashed through Shen Lan's mind, but she soon realized that it was not realistic at all.

The reason was very simple. Let alone Xu Zhe, she herself was not the kind of person who would be overwhelmed with emotions when seeing beautiful flowers. Perhaps, the two little girls who were entangled with Xu Zhe might have such delusions?

However, Shen Lan still walked into the small garden to investigate whether it could be used as a place for chatting.

"This won't work either..."

As soon as she walked in, she found that only a few chrysanthemums were still in bloom in the garden. The stems of the other flowers were bare, with only a few wilted leaves at most. After all, it was already November, and most flowers were not in bloom now.

Shen Lan sighed and walked out of the park. But as soon as she turned a corner, her eyes lit up.

There is actually a go-kart track in this park!

The track was made up of many tires, with twists and turns, and it must be very challenging to drive on. At this time, there were several teenagers racing on it.

Boys should like racing, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Lan couldn't help but feel proud. She had obviously found a very good way to entertain herself.

The speed of the kart is not very fast, but the feeling of driving it is different. After playing the car, it is the time when your heart beats faster, and the suspension bridge effect can also come into play...

"I'll tell him right here that if he wants to compete, he can use a little provocation. Even the most mature boy can't resist touching the steering wheel, right? I'll lose to him on purpose during the race. Then, when he's feeling proud and pretending to faint, I'll say that I couldn't stand the kart throwing me around. Then, I'll pretend to be weak and frail to arouse his sympathy. That kind of sympathy, plus the suspension bridge effect, won't it be a heart-pounding feeling?"

Shen Lan muttered to herself in a voice that no one could hear clearly. The more she muttered, the more she felt that the plan was perfect!

She quickly opened her notebook and wrote down the key words: "kart", "provocation", "win or lose", "acting skills", and "suspension bridge effect".

Then Shen Lan put away the notebook and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, how can a normal boy resist this? I don't know how to lose!"

----

The planned Saturday finally arrived.

Just like last time, Shen Lan came to the bus terminal in the morning, found an empty seat in the hall, sat down, opened a book on algorithms, and placed her phone on the book. While reading, she was waiting for someone's message at any time.

The rematch will be held in the afternoon. The first half of her plan is the same as last time. She will have lunch first, take a rest near the examination room, and then finish the exam.

[Our car has arrived, are you still waiting for me in the lobby? ]

When Shen Lan saw the message sent by Xu Zhe, she was happy at first, but then she realized something was wrong.

Why 'we'? Who else besides him? His parents? Or...

Shen Lan has already realized some not-so-good possibilities.

Just as she was stunned, Xu Zhe's voice rang out not far away: "Senior sister, you are here!"

Shen Lan raised her head and saw Xu Zhe... and the two girls following behind him.

"Haha." The senior student forced a smile.

She noticed that the girl named Song Xingye was dressed quite simply, in sweatpants and a sweatshirt, and with a ponytail like the one common among middle school students, but her natural beauty was hard to ignore; but the other girl next to her, her childhood sweetheart named Tang Lingfei, was much more outrageous.

Tang Lingfei wore a short skirt with stockings, which not only kept her warm but also highlighted her delicate figure - that style looked similar to that of her senior schoolmate, only more youthful and lively.

When Xu Zhe came up to him, Shen Lan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why did you bring them here?"

Xu Zhe: "Because they want to come over and play."

Shen Lan: "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Xu Zhe: "You didn't ask me either."

Shen Lan: "..."

She assumed that Xu Zhe came alone this time, so she didn't ask. Thinking about it carefully, Xu Zhe didn't deliberately hide it from her.

At this time, Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei also came closer, and greeted with a smile:

"Hello, senior sister."

"Hello, Senior!"

Song Xingye was still as quiet as ever, but Tang Lingfei was much more outgoing.

Shen Lan stood up: "Okay, you guys have worked hard too. Shall we go have lunch together later?"

She had a smile on her face, but secretly reminded herself in her heart that things were not that simple and these two schoolmates should not be underestimated!

Data structure, programming, algorithm processing...

Dynamic programming, breadth-first, greedy, binary tree...

Xu Zhe finally felt the pain of scratching his head in the NOIP semi-final exam room. It was completely different from the junior high school exam, and he felt less and less comfortable the further he went. Facing the computer for the computer-based exam, he worked hard and tried his best...

Finally, the exam is over.

Xu Zhe walked out of the unfamiliar teaching building and headed straight outside. Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Looking back, it was Shen Lan.

The senior student smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Xu Zhe smiled bitterly: "It's still difficult. I don't know what the result will be."

Shen Lan nodded: "Yes, the difficulty must not be low, otherwise how can we distinguish the different levels? But I still have confidence in you. It will definitely not be a problem to save one."

Xu Zhe waved his hand: "No, it's better not to set a flag for me, I don't know what the result will be."

Shen Lan: "What does it mean to set a flag?"

Xu Zhe: "It's just about planting a flag. Just imagine, what happened to the people who said in the movie, 'I'll go back to my hometown and get married after this war'?"

Shen Lan tilted her head: "Back to your hometown?"

Xu Zhe realized that the senior student in front of him might not watch many movies and TV dramas, so he explained: "That's the real hometown, back to the road of reincarnation. Before the truth comes out, those who swear to do this and that are just setting a flag for themselves."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Lan was stunned. I don’t know what she was thinking about…

When they reached the school gate, they saw Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei who had been waiting there for a long time. The two girls were chatting, and when they saw Xu Zhe coming, they waved their arms to greet him.

Of course, it was Tang Lingfei who waved her arms, while Song Xingye waved his hands restrainedly.

It was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still some time before dinner, so Shen Lan suggested, "How about going to the nearby park? You've been busy in front of the computer for so long, Xu Zhe, you also want to take a breath, right?"

Shen Lan had already remembered the word at this time - set a flag. Although she didn't know where Xu Zhe heard it from, she couldn't help but think of the complacent feeling she had when she visited a nearby park not long ago.

That's like setting a flag.

The developments so far were beyond her expectations. The fact that these two girls came with Xu Zhe seemed to have added a lot of interference to her plan.

The plan can still go ahead.

But Shen Lan no longer wants to say things like "I don't know how to lose."

----

After walking for a while, Shen Lan finally brought three younger classmates to the karting track.

Then he pretended to see it for the first time: "Hey, there are go-karts here, do you want to try it? Xu Zhe, do you dare to compete with me..."

Shen Lan paused before she finished speaking because she noticed that Xu Zhe's face looked a little strange.

He took a step back and said, "You guys go ahead and have fun. I'm not interested in this."

Shen Lan: "Not interested?"

"Well, among all the games, the only one I can't play is racing games."

Xu Zhe was telling the truth. As a senior otaku in his previous life, he had played every major category of games, even those about changing clothes for girls. But whenever he saw a racing game, he couldn't help but think of the feeling of rolling down a hill in a bus...

The psychological trauma of this life is not so strong, but he still doesn't want to touch the steering wheel at all. Anyway, he can take a taxi now, and he can hire a driver when he gets rich in the future. Why bother himself with something that doesn't matter?

However, Tang Lingfei raised her arm: "Kart? I'm interested!"

Although she was in that car, she had no memory of the accident. She only knew that the driver had a heart attack and Xu Zhe saved everyone in time. For her, there was no psychological trauma.

But Shen Lan was dumbfounded.

What he wanted was to lose the racing game with Xu Zhe on purpose. Who would want to play with a little love rival?

But at this time, Song Xingye asked: "What's wrong, senior sister? Don't you want to play go-kart?"

"Oh, okay, then follow me."

Shen Lan could only say this, then turned around, gritted her teeth, and walked towards the entrance.

Xu Zhe and Song Xingye stood outside the runway and watched.

Shen Lan and Tang Lingfei bought tickets to enter, each got into a car, fastened their seat belts and put on helmets with the help of the staff, then the car started and began.

The two started almost at the same time, but Shen Lan's car was closer to the front. So, the senior was in front, and Tang Lingfei was chasing behind.

At the beginning, both of them were not very skilled in operation and hit the wall at almost every turn. But after running a lap, Tang Lingfei quickly mastered the trick.
