The math Olympiad in May is just around the corner.

During this period of time, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan, as well as several classmates in the competition team, were seriously brushing up on the questions. For them, the daily learning tasks of the school do not take much time and energy, especially Xu Zhe, after finding the excuse of the Olympiad, he even watered all the teachers of various subjects, and made the teachers have nothing to say.

Then another weekend, they stopped attending classes and went to No. 3 Middle School, a few blocks away, to participate in the city's preliminary competition.

The competition is still within a limited time.

At the end of the competition, when he walked out of the examination room, Xu Zhe put his hands in his pockets and looked relaxed.

Shen Lan hurried to catch up with him and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Not bad. ”

Shen Lan: "Can you pass the preliminary round?" ”

Xu Zhe: "I don't know. ”

Shen Lan: "I look at you, it seems that you are nine out of ten?" ”

Xu Zhe said honestly: "Actually, I really don't care so much about this achievement, the focus is on participation." ”

Shen Lan obviously didn't believe this, her heroic eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of suspicion.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xu Zhe explained: "Because the reason why I wanted to apply for the Olympiad in the first place was to find a reason to skip most of the daily homework in school, especially copying. In junior high school, especially in the first year of junior high school, there are quite a lot of homework that is not difficult or challenging, but it is very time-consuming. ”

Shen Lan: "But you have to tutor for the Olympiad on the weekend, aren't you adding tasks to yourself?" ”

Xu Zhe thought for a while: "Actually, in general, it's about the same." Because the weekends are meant to take a lot of time to do homework. ”

Shen Lan shook her head: "I think you actually still want to win." If you really just want to find an excuse to push off your homework, it should be enough for you to rely on the strength of the first place in the whole grade, right? You just say that you don't want to write, and you want to study the second and third years of junior high school by yourself, can the teacher still force you to make up your homework? ”

Xu Zhe: "......"

Shen Lan continued to analyze: "You also want to try to challenge the Olympiad, but if you challenge seriously and fail, you won't find an excuse." I think that the fact that you are only participating in the Olympiad to avoid homework' is your excuse, and you can make a good excuse in advance to avoid the pain of failure. ”

Xu Zhe remained silent.

Shen Lan suddenly reacted, and her voice was unconsciously much softer: "Shouldn't I say that?" ”

Xu Zhe smiled: "Shouldn't it be broken?" ”

Shen Lan: "So, you admit ......"

Xu Zhe: "Maybe I do have such thoughts, and there is nothing difficult to admit." I definitely won't touch the high school Olympiad, but I still seem to be able to touch it in junior high school. ”

Shen Lan smiled: "But this excuse you are looking for is not bad. At the very least, decompress yourself in advance. But I don't have a similar excuse, can you help me decompress? ”

Xu Zhe: "How to reduce?" ”

Shen Lan pointed to her shoulder and smiled, "Can I ask you to help me get a massage?" ”

Xu Zhe couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds.

The two met their eyes. Xu Zhe tried to find a trace of abnormality in the eyes of the senior sister, but found nothing. It was as if her request was as natural as 'lend me a pen'.

This made Xu Zhe can't help but reflect, is he thinking too much?

Seeing that he didn't react for a while, Shen Lan smiled and asked, "Can't you?" ”

Xu Zhe looked around, and then not only saw the classmates in the same competition group, but even Teacher Lu was there.

He asked, "Have you heard that the gossip about you and me is circulating in the school right now?" ”

Shen Lan: "I heard about it." ”

Xu Zhe: "Let's not talk about avoiding suspicion, should we avoid further deepening misunderstandings?" ”

Shen Lan blinked: "Do you care so much about other people's eyes?" It's tiring to live like this. ”

Xu Zhe: "......"

Good guy, the words that enlightened Song Xingye in the past have now become boomerangs and swirled to his face.

Shen Lan smiled: "Okay, okay, since you care, forget it, let's go!" ”

Three days later, in the evening, the students of the competition team received a notice and came to Mr. Lu's office after school.

Then I heard the results of the preliminary round.

"This time, a total of three students passed the preliminary round. Well, you have also seen it, it is Shen Lan, Wei Junkun, and Xu Zhe. For other students, there is still room for hard work in the second year of junior high school, and there is no need to think about the Olympiad in the third year of junior high school. If you can't pass the preliminary round of junior high school, the high school Olympiad is even more useless. ”

Teacher Lu still spoke so ruthlessly.

"The rematch is going to the provincial capital. Our school will charter a car to take the three of you and me to the provincial capital. The time for the rematch is next weekend, so you have to be ready, take a look at the questions you have done before, and summarize your ideas and shortcomings. There's nothing else to teach. Okay, that's it for today, disband. ”

Teacher Lu picked up the water bottle and took a sip of tea.

After saying things like "good teacher" and "goodbye teacher", the students left the office one after another.

Xu Zhe was just about to go down the stairs, but Shen Lan caught up with him again.

She said casually, "What are you going to do when you go back?" It can't be homework, right? ”

Xu Zhe: "Check the information and programming. I don't have to do homework anymore. ”

Shen Lan: "What kind of program do you make?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Game." The little game that was used as a tutorial for you last time, I'm going to perfect it, and it's still too rough now. And I'm going to make some other games besides that. ”

Shen Lan: "Want to make money?" ”

Xu Zhe: "If you don't want to make money, you can play games." I worked hard to write it myself, just for money. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked down the stairs and out of the school building. But when I walked to the school gate, I saw a lonely little girl, who was slightly bored sorting out the straps of her school bag.

That's Tang Lingfei.

Xu Zhe: "Didn't you go with Ye Zi?" ”

Tang Lingfei pursed the corners of her lips: "My family and her family are not on the way, how can I go?" ”

Shen Lan smiled and asked, "Waiting for you?" ”

Xu Zhe nodded.

Shen Lan: "Then I won't ask you if you are going to play tonight, you can go, I will go back too." ”

The short-haired senior sister waved her hand, smiled and turned to leave.

After the senior sister walked away, Tang Lingfei suddenly asked in a low voice, "Have you all passed the preliminary round?" ”

Xu Zhe: "That's right. Go to the provincial capital next weekend and rematch. ”

Tang Lingfei: "I knew you would definitely be able to ......"

Xu Zhe: "Borrow your auspicious words." If I'm lucky enough to be in the semifinals, I'll pick my choice in high school. ”

Tang Lingfei: "Then in the future, will I not be able to go to high school with you?" ”

These words made Xu Zhe not know how to take them.

He turned his head to look at the little Qingmei, only to see the girl pouting slightly, obviously aggrieved.
