Cultivation Shura Field

Song Xingye had no doubts about the topic Xu Zhe was talking about. She just wanted to hear how he explained it.

As he listened, Song Xingye suddenly felt a little regretful - he had been sitting next to him for such a long time, but he had never discussed his study problems with him, let alone listened to him explaining the questions to him seriously. After all, they were both good students with nearly full marks, so there was nothing to talk about.

So in the future, should I deliberately find some difficult questions, pretend that I can't do them, and ask him for help?

The girl held her chin with one hand, quietly looking at the boy's serious profile, and already had a plan.

Xu Zhe finished explaining another question, and suddenly realized that someone was looking at him. He looked up at Song Xingye and asked, "Why don't you play by yourself?"

Song Xingye: "What should I play?"

Xu Zhe: "You can watch TV or read novels. I'm sure you have no problem with these questions. Why do you need to listen to me?"

Song Xingye shook his head slightly: "Forget it, I think this is fine. Just continue talking, don't worry about me."

So Xu Zhe ignored her and continued explaining the question to Tang Lingfei.

And Song Xingye continued to be a quiet bystander.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened a crack.

Tang Lingfei's parents leaned over to the crack in the door and peeked for a while, then closed the door with satisfaction.

Chapter 77 Too Smart

2023-09-06

On an ordinary midweek afternoon, the biology teacher handed out a worksheet and Xu Zhe finished it quickly.

During the break, he took out the math problems assigned by Mr. Lu from the competition team.

But just as he wrote a line, a soft girl's voice rang out beside him:

"What's going on with this step?"

Only then did Xu Zhe notice that his deskmate Song Xingye was looking at his calculation paper.

He said, "You mean this factorization? Oh, we're supposed to learn that next year, don't worry about it."

"I know this is something you will learn in the second and third year of junior high school," the pair of delicate almond-shaped eyes blinked twice, "but I also want to learn a little bit in advance, is that okay?"

"of course can."

Xu Zhe tore off another piece of blank paper and deduced the polynomial decomposition formula from the beginning.

After writing the derivation steps, hand it to the girl's desk and it's done.

Seeing Xu Zhe starting to concentrate on his homework again, Song Xingye couldn't help but ask, "Is it done now?"

"Yes, you can understand this part, right?"

Song Xingye tried to read it and found that... he seemed to be able to understand it, and there was no need for him to explain.

For a moment, the girl suddenly felt a little envious of Tang Lingfei. Look at Tang Lingfei, she could get Xu Zhe's careful guidance just because she was not so smart. But she, on the other hand, just needed to go through a derivation process and it was done.

Because there is no need, so there is no need?

Just as the girl was feeling melancholy, the bell for class rang.

When our homeroom teacher, Mr. Sun, entered the classroom, everyone immediately returned to their seats and fell silent. However, Xu Zhe was not disturbed and was still staring at the math problem—he had already solved all the other problems, except for this last one. Solving this kind of problem was like wandering in a maze, or like playing a puzzle game. There was a unique pleasure in being immersed in it.

Teacher Sun announced, "Next week our school will hold a sports meet. From the first grade to the third grade, all grades will participate. The main events are track and field, long-distance running, short-distance running, high jump, long jump, shot put, etc. Students, here's your chance to win honor for your class!"

My classmates looked at me and I looked at you, but no one was willing to sign up.

Teacher Sun continued, "During this week's physical education class, the physical education teacher will help our class select athletes. Everyone should actively perform at that time. If you can get a place in the school sports meet, it will not only bring honor to the class, but also add points to your own evaluation!"

Song Xingye faintly heard someone complaining in a low voice.

“How many points does this add?”

"It sounds so tiring..."

The girl looked at her deskmate next to her.

Xu Zhe finally raised his head at this time, his eyes shining.

After spending a few months together, Song Xingye already understood that when Xu Zhe showed such a look, it meant that he had a little interest in something.

So Song Xingye asked quietly: "Do you want to participate?"

Xu Zhe: “Why not?”

Song Xingye: "If you participate, it shouldn't be for those extra points. Because you don't need it."

Xu Zhe: "Yes, I just want to try the effect of exercise."

“Do you still exercise?”

The girl's mouth was slightly open, with a hint of surprise in her almond eyes.

Xu Zhe: "Not very often, and not a lot of exercise, only once every two or three days. After all, I have so little homework to do now, so I still have a lot of time."

Unlike Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye, Shen Lan and Xu Zhe spend most of their time together on weekends, after the morning Olympiad classes are over.

This Saturday, after class, Shen Lan came to Xu Zhe again and said, "Do you think it's better for me to start with C language or Java? I read some popular science books, which introduced some basic knowledge and different computer languages. Which language do you think is better?"

Xu Zhe laughed and said, "If you post a thread about this issue, programmers will argue about it for three days and three nights."

Shen Lan: "Which language is suitable for beginners?"

Xu Zhe: "It depends on what you plan to do. Some are suitable for mobile software, some are suitable for web pages, and some can be used as glue. Each language has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, if you follow the conventional path, you should start with C language."

Shen Lan: "What if we don't follow the rules?"

Xu Zhe: "You can also try to start with Python. This language is not very popular now, but it will become more and more popular in the future. The syntax is also relatively simple, so it may be suitable for beginners. However, some people say that you cannot use this language to get started, just like you cannot learn to drive an automatic transmission first. But to be honest, if I want to take a driver's license test in the future, I may really choose an automatic transmission, which is simple and easy."

Shen Lan was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Which language did you start with?"

Xu Zhe: "I also learned C language at the beginning. The problem is, you are in the third year of junior high school, and you have already signed up for the Mathematical Olympiad. The competition will be next month, and the month after that will be the high school entrance examination. Are you sure you want to learn programming by yourself at this time?"

Shen Lan sighed: "You are right, I can only study during the summer vacation. But by then, I should not be completely self-taught."

Xu Zhe: "What do you mean?"

Shen Lan smiled faintly: "You should be free during the summer vacation, you can tutor me."

Xu Zhe said calmly: "I originally agreed to tutor you, but I can't spare much time. It's equal to the time I spend playing billiards. When summer vacation comes, I will definitely have a lot of things to do."

He has already considered registering a company with his father during the summer vacation. Whether it is developing apps or investing in the future, it will be much more convenient to register in the name of a company. In addition to registering a company, he also plans to put some games on the Pingguo App Store to see if he can make a little money.

So when the time came, whether it was Shen Lan's programming tutoring or Tang Lingfei's homework tutoring, he could only find time to do it, and it was impossible to spend a lot of time on these little girls.

Shen Lan stared at him.

The girl was already in the third year of junior high school and would go to high school after the summer vacation. With her grades, she should have gone to the top high school in the provincial capital, but this would have separated her from Xu Zhe. The next chance for them to spend time together would only be two years later - she had no doubt that Xu Zhe would definitely be able to go to the same high school.

But the time we spend together is still too little.

But in a flash, Shen Lan threw away that bit of resentment and seriously considered what to do next...

Xu Zhe suddenly asked: "Do you have any other questions?"

Shen Lan shook her head slowly: "Nothing. By the way, I heard there is a computer competition for high school students. Do you want to participate in the future?"

Xu Zhe: "I'm only in the first grade of junior high school. I'll talk about high school competitions later."

Shen Lan: "Then the high school math competition..."

Xu Zhe: "No, I might still sign up for the information competition, but I definitely won't sign up for the high school math competition."

Shen Lan was a little confused: "Why? You are so smart."

But Xu Zhe just smiled and said nothing. He knew himself very well. With the advantage of his previous life, he might be able to handle the junior and intermediate level Mathematical Olympiad, but the difficulty of the high school level was too much. What's more, the provincial competition for the junior high school Mathematical Olympiad didn't need to spend too much time and energy, while the high school Mathematical Olympiad was a national competition, so he really didn't need to join in the fun.

Chapter 78 The Forest You Forgot

2023-09-06

It was the first time for the students in Grade 7 to see two teachers appear in a physical education class. The head teacher, Ms. Sun, also appeared on the playground. She wanted to work with the physical education teacher to select athletes for the class.

So we can’t play basketball or football in this physical education class, and there is no free activity period. All the time is used for various sports events.

High jump, long jump, shot throw, 100 meters, 400 meters...they completed these events one by one, and the teacher recorded the results beside them.

When he reached the finish line of the 400-meter race, Wenhao knelt down on the track, sweating and gasping for breath. It even became difficult for him to stand up again.

"Oh my God, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!"

But when he looked up, he saw Xu Zhe standing not far away.

Wenhao still remembered that Xu Zhe was one of the first few in the class to reach the finish line. He wasn't the fastest, but he wasn't someone most boys could catch up with.

Although Xu Zhe was also a little out of breath at this time, his expression and posture were much more natural.

Wen Hao shouted, "Xu Zhe, aren't you tired?"

Xu Zhe: "Tired, but not too tired."

Wenhao: "You are really good at pretending..."

Xu Zhe: "Do you think I'm pretending?"

At this time, the physical education teacher spoke again: "The last item to be tested is the 3,000-meter run."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of complaints.

"You're crazy! Why do we have to finish the test in one class? Can't we do it in the next class?"

"My legs are shaking!"

"Me too, I can't even stand up..."

The physical education teacher smiled and said, "In that case, we won't force everyone to participate in the 3,000-meter race. Those who are still willing to participate in the 3,000-meter race, please gather at my place."

There was a large circle of space around the teacher. The students who were originally close to him quickly hid back to avoid being misunderstood.

But Xu Zhe took the initiative to walk over.

The PE teacher's eyes lit up: "Okay, who else?"

The others remained silent, but their gazes towards Xu Zhe became slightly complicated, with admiration, sympathy, and pity.

Physical education teacher: "It can't be just boys signing up, the 3,000-meter race needs girls to participate too!"

The tall girl who was the best at sports in the class also stood up.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Xuefei also pulled out a friend who was also sitting in the last row, with a smug expression on his face that said "look how awesome I am".

The physical education teacher smiled and said, "Very good, then the four of you will be participating in the 3,000-meter race in our class."

Gao Xuefei was stunned: "No need to test?"

Xu Zhe was not surprised at all: "There is no other candidate in the class, so there is no need to test."

"It's not easy for you guys to still run..." the head teacher next to him said with concern, "However, Xu Zhe, you still have to run the 400-meter relay. Do you have the stamina to do it?"

Xu Zhe: "Not bad. Actually, if you want to run 3,000 meters, you can run 4x100 first as a warm-up."

The physical education teacher clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's all for today. You can take a break and move freely."

As soon as the meeting was over, Wenhao habitually strolled over to Xu Zhe's side.

Wen Hao: "I'm not saying, when did your endurance become so good?"

Xu Zhe: "Because I have been exercising this year. Jogging, plank support, push-ups and so on."

Wenhao: "No one is watching you, why do you still need to exercise?"

"For health, so that the body can hold out at times like this," Xu Zhe said meaningfully, "and the most important thing for a man is endurance, don't you understand?"

Wen Hao cupped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, you are a man, you are awesome."
