Top Student at Their Peak-Chapter 125 - 83 The National Middle School Mathematics Competition is Coming_3

Chapter 125: Chapter 83 The National Middle School Mathematics Competition is Coming_3

"Got it!" The five students representing Xingtie First Middle School in the competition responded in unison.

Next, on the bus, Lan Jie shared some old advice, nothing more than some test-taking tips for the competition.

The advice was generally that the first section’s questions are typically easy, so pay extra attention; in the second section, the questions are relatively harder, so find the ones you can solve first and don’t waste too much time on questions you don’t understand, and so on...

When he was saying this, Lan Jie mostly kept his eyes on Qiao Yu.

After all, the changes this guy brought were visible to the naked eye.

In previous years, when attending the league competition, whenever the exam was held within Star City, the school typically wouldn’t arrange transportation. The students usually met at the exam site at a scheduled time on their own.

However, this year the school even prepared a seven-seater business car to shuttle them, which was obviously not done on his account.

On Sunday morning, Star City highways were quite clear, and they reached Changjun Middle School’s main campus by 7:10 a.m.

Qiao Yu initially thought they were early, but after disembarking and walking into Changjun’s campus to the prepared exam site, he found that many students from other schools had already arrived.

Moreover, with only five candidates from Xingtie First Middle School, in comparison to the several dozens from other schools, they seemed insignificant and even weak.

But this also made the good guy feel much more relaxed, for instance, casually distributing the admission tickets to the five students on the bus.

These teachers had to queue for roll call before distributing the tickets one by one.

Qiao Yu sat with the others under a tree, daydreaming while watching the bustling crowd, until a crisp voice caught the attention of the six: "Brother Qiao Yu."

The voice was so familiar.

Qiao Yu turned to look, and there was Keke standing prettily less than five meters away, wearing the Changjun school uniform.

Lan Jie glanced at the Changjun girl, then retracted his gaze and said to Qiao Yu, "Go ahead, but don’t go too far, it’ll be exam time soon."

"Oh." Qiao Yu agreed and walked over.

Lan Jie scanned the four kids whose eyes were following Qiao Yu, coughed twice, and said, "Alright, stop looking. Use this time to mentally review the key points I went over with you yesterday."

Yet after saying this, he couldn’t help but glance over again.

...

"What are you doing here?"

"I’m here to cheer for you! Surprised?"

"So surprised!"

"Hmph, you don’t sound sincere! But it doesn’t matter, you better do well, don’t let the provincial competition trip you up. If you can’t make it to Yanbei and Huaqing, I promise I’ll laugh at you!" freewēbnoveℓ.com

"Do you want to hear yourself? I’m a gold medal winner; give me five minutes to look over the questions in this provincial competition, and I can get a first prize blindfolded for the remaining time, do you believe it?"

"I really don’t believe it!"

Qiao Yu closed his eyes to try, then opened them with a bit of frustration, saying, "Hmm, you’re right this time, it was indeed a bit too boastful, not much regard for other contestants, but first place should be doable, right? Do you believe it this time?"

The playful tone made the girl’s eyes curve into crescents as she laughed.

"Haha... Qiao Yu, seeing you like this, I’m completely relieved."

Xia Keke understood Qiao Yu, knowing that when his jokes included some friendly digs, it meant he was not only fully confident but completely at ease.

If he were just joking, it would indicate he was a bit nervous.

"Do I need you to be relieved? Worry about yourself! Let me tell you, our Xingtie First Middle School is scary strong this year! Under my influence, all our classmates aim for Qingbei, and now doing practice exams is like playing, you better be careful about slipping up in the college entrance exam!"

"Haha, that I believe, I’ll double my efforts!" With that, Xia Keke raised her fist and gave it a strong wave.

"Right..." This little missy doesn’t follow the script, so Qiao Yu didn’t know what to say, then suddenly noticed a strand of Keke’s hair had fallen out of place, and naturally reached out, just like when they were kids, and tucked her hair behind her ear.

That seemed much better.

"Your classmates are watching!" Xia Keke reminded with a playful smile.

"Hmm?" Qiao Yu turned his head to find several people, even including Teacher Lan, had turned their heads, quickly realizing the earlier move wasn’t proper, but still calmly said, "That’s how single people are."

"So you’re not one then?"

"Hurry up and get to class."

"My afternoon class doesn’t start until 7:50 a.m.! Even if I walk slowly, I only need ten minutes to get there."

"But we’re about to go into the exam room! You have to leave me some time to show off in front of all the singles, right? Look, besides me, none of them got a cheer from the little beauty!"

"Haha! Alright then! But you’re done at 12:30 p.m., let’s go shopping in the afternoon."

"You don’t have classes in the afternoon?"

"No class in the afternoon, but there’s evening self-study."

Seeing the expectant look in Xia Keke’s eyes, Qiao Yu’s ever-present sense of morality overflowed...

Studying is hard, sneaking in a bit of simple joy should never be refused when possible.

Ah, that’s how good people are, always thinking of spreading joy and benefiting others.

With a sigh in his heart, Qiao Yu nodded, "Alright, I’ll ask the good guy for leave after the exam."

"OK, it’s a deal then."

Then suddenly, she leaned over, whispered in Qiao Yu’s ear, "Bye, little dad!"

The warm breath made Qiao Yu’s ear itch a little, but the next moment, Xia Keke pulled back, raised her hand to wave at Qiao Yu, and happily turned to leave.
