Chapter 54.1: Dating Is Pretty Good

Recently, Qin Li had become very anxious. His goal was not only to enter the winter camp, but he also wanted to go further than that.

The only person in the class Qin Li liked was Yao Yi. He felt that they had many things in common, so he naturally went to Yao Yi when he felt nervous.

He asked her to come up with some questions for him to practice and wanted to discuss math-related theories.

On the other hand, Li Ge couldn’t understand why Qin Li was working so hard for school recommendations. Yao Yi, who was similarly obsessed with math like him, just didn’t care about anything.

“My family doesn’t have that much money to pay for college for me, so I must pass the exam.” Qin Li said without raising his head, “You have more opportunities for getting good jobs after coming out of the best universities.”

His family background could only be considered ordinary. The way people lived was always affected by survival. Sometimes Qin Li thought that if he self-studied mathematics, he would not be able to make money in the future. However if he graduated from a university, it would be much easier to change careers in the future.

Li Ge was silent for a moment, and then encouraged in a low voice: “If you work hard, you will definitely be able to enter the national team!”

Qin Li nodded, not much affected by his encouragement.

“What children?” Qin Li didn’t understand.

Li Ge looked at Qin Li slowly: “Commonly known as child prodigies.”

“Oh, it’s like this every year.” Qin Li was not too surprised, “Many of the people who participated in the IMO won the prize at the age of thirteen or fourteen.”

Li Ge silently glanced at Qin Li, his heart full of sympathy. Although his own high school math scores were not too bad, the high school test questions and competition questions were two completely different worlds.

Speaking of this topic, Qin Li also had a rare curiosity: “Why doesn’t Yao Yi just skip a grade?”

Qin Li himself was only interested in mathematics alone, and also had a bit of talent for it. However, on the other hand, Yao Yi was able to get first place in almost every subject, and she was fully qualified to be a child prodigy. In the end, she still studied like ordinary people, step by step, and went to high school at a normal age.

“I don’t know, it seems that her parents don’t agree.” Li Ge had dinner with Han Jiaojiao and the others directly at the Yao house. It seemed that Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao just wanted Yao Yi to live a happy life.

“Oh…” Qin Li seemed to understand.

The competition questions still required some concentrated thinking, and Yao Yi had to turn several corners when she looked at the questions. The lessons in class didn’t apply to her either, so she just bowed her head and studiously worked out the questions given by Qin Li.

After class, Yao Yi handed the notebook back to Qin Li, which contained detailed steps to answer the questions.

“There must be a problem with the input on the Internet, and a typo was made.” Yao Yi said as she read the online answer Qin Li showed her.

“Thank you, I will trouble you to stay after school later.” Qin Li said while flipping through the paper.

“Oh.” Yao Yi agreed and returned to her seat directly.

Originally, the break time between classes was only ten minutes, so they could not discuss much.

When the teacher of class zero was giving a lecture, most of the students raised their heads and answered the teacher’s questions seriously. After all, the teachers who were qualified to teach zero class were all very skilled, and they would prepare higher difficulty questions in advance to expand on what the students learned.

Under normal circumstances, teachers would allow students to bow their heads and do homework. This was because some students really don’t need to waste their time listening to lectures, however they were not allowed to be distracted by other things.

“Fu Chuan, tell me what is the answer to this question?” The chemistry teacher suddenly called his name.

Fu Chuan, who was called, stood up. He was tall and slender. Even the most ordinary school uniform looked nice on him.

It was just that the good-looking Fu Chuan happened to not know the answer today, he didn’t even know what the teacher asked him.

Yao Yi didn’t hear Fu Chuan answer even after a long while, so she couldn’t help but look up at the teacher and then at Fu Chuan: “Choose C.”

The teacher had just talked about this chemistry multiple-choice question, and the question was not difficult. Yao Yi looked at the silent Fu Chuan strangely, ‘he should know the answer.’

Seeing that he still didn’t answer, Yao Yi poked Fu Chuan with her hand: “C!”

Fu Chuan held onto Yao Yi’s hand smoothly to prevent her from moving. He clenched his other hand and coughed out, “C.”

The chemistry teacher took a meaningful look at Fu Chuan: “Sit down, and don’t forget to improve on your studies.”

This reminder sounded slightly strange, Li Ge lowered his head and suppressed a smile. It seemed that Fu Chuan wasn’t paying attention and was discovered by the teacher.

After Fu Chuan sat down, he let go of Yao Yi’s hand, but he didn’t look at her. He still sat upright, pondering about something.

Yao Yi didn’t pay too much attention to these types of things. She was used to being absorbed in her own thoughts and didn’t  think about others when she knew how to answer the question. However if someone next to her kept distracting her, Yao Yi also wouldn’t be the type to scold them and tell them to stop moving.

In the classroom, only the drone of the chemistry teacher’s lectures and the wind whistling outside the window were left.

Fu Chuan fidgeted with his fingertips, as if he was still nostalgic for the feeling he felt just now.

Very soft.

…

As soon as the dismissal bell rang, the students began to pack up their school bags and leave. Yao Yi, who was still sitting at her seat, started to pack her school bag too. She only left out a notebook and a pen.

“I’m going over there.” Yao Yi pointed to Qin Li’s seat, and handed her school bag to Fu Chuan naturally.

Although the classroom was half empty in an instant, there were still a few students behind. Therefore Fu Chuan was not very conspicuous as he sat in the last row.

Qin Li naturally didn’t notice, and he took out a thick notebook, which was full of his own questions and doubts.

To be honest, Yao Yi believed that the gap between her and Qin Li, at least in terms of mathematics, was not that big.
