In history class, Xu Zhe spread out his textbook, listened to it for a few minutes like other students, and then silently took out his mobile phone.

He clicked on the official website of the National Association for Computing Machinery and found the login entry on the page of the competition for middle school students. He had already logged in twice before, but this third time, he finally saw the updated information - the preliminary round was passed, and he was notified to participate in the semi-finals.

Xu Zhe couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Although he has full confidence in his programming foundations, his habit is that he can't really put his mind at ease without seeing real results. Now that the dust has settled on the preliminary round, it's time to contact a senior sister according to the agreement with a certain senior sister.

He sent a text message to Shen Lan: [I have passed the preliminary round, see you in the semi-final examination room. 】

At this time, the history teacher on the podium was still gushing: "You must know that the dividing line between the ancient and medieval times in the West is the fall of the Western Roman Empire......"

Xu Zhe raised his head and muttered casually, "Jingluo is crying." ”

Song Xingye on the side: "What?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Oh, it's nothing, let's continue to listen to the class." ”

Song Xingye looked at him and smiled lightly: "You seem to be in a good mood." ”

Xu Zhe: "It's okay, I just saw the notice of passing the preliminary round." ”

Song Xingye: "The preliminary round of the informatics competition?" You can make games independently, so are you worried that you won't be able to pass the preliminary round? ”

Xu Zhe smiled: "It's true, but I'll be relieved when I see the facts in front of me." ”

Song Xingye asked again: "When will the rematch go?" ”

Xu Zhe: "The weekend after Singles' Day. ”

"Double Eleven," the girl chewed on the word, "will you celebrate Singles' Day?" ”

Today's Taobao has begun to do the Double 11 shopping festival, but the transaction volume is far from being as shocking as in the following years. Now in everyone's mind, November 11 seems to be just a singles' day ridiculed by netizens.

Xu Zhe smiled: "I think being single is a very good habit of life. When the time comes, I will make myself two more dishes as a holiday celebration. ”

Song Xingye wanted to speak and stopped.

The girl subconsciously wanted to ask if she could try it since she wanted to cook two more dishes. But on second thought, it wasn't a weekend, and I went to his house after school, in front of his parents...... It seems a little strange.

After all, it's not a childhood sweetheart.,The family doesn't live close enough.,I can't go if I want to.。

But at this time, Song Xingye realized another problem.

Now that Xu Zhe has passed the preliminary round, what about Senior Sister Shen Lan? The senior sister is likely to have passed, so when the rematch comes, won't these two meet again?

Song Xingye believes that Xu Zhe should not prepare anything for this meeting, but it is difficult for the senior sister to say......

In that case, do you want to do something?

The girl quietly took out her mobile phone and sent a short message to her best friend.

At lunchtime, Xu Zhe was still with a few friends he knew best.

Next to him sat Wen Hao, and across the table were Tang Lingfei and Song Xingye.

When he first started eating, Wen Hao was chatting happily. Starting from something that the history teacher talked about in class, he pointed out the reasons for the fall of the empire.

“…… Therefore, the empire should not have been divided into east and west in the first place, otherwise it would not be so easy to defeat in the face of barbarian invasion, don't you say? ”

After Wen Hao finished speaking, his eyes swept around, trying to find a sense of identity. However, he sadly found that his high opinion was not appreciated as it should be, and the two girls opposite were just perfunctory "uh-huh", but they didn't know what they were discussing. And the good friends next to him are not even perfunctory.

Xu Zhe suddenly asked: "Then why did the Roman Empire divide into two?" Why did the barbarians invade? ”

Wen Hao: "Then who knows, brain-dead." ”

Xu Zhe smiled: "My idea is that everyone is not so stupid, there must be a reason." If you're really interested, try to look up the results of the later expansion of the Roman Empire, as well as the weather records of that era, and so on, and maybe there will be some new discoveries. ”

Wen Hao was puzzled: "Have you checked?" ”

Xu Zhe smiled but said nothing. He is not a hardcore history lover, but he has seen a lot of people arguing on the Internet, and he has seen a lot of talk about history and military affairs, and he has seen a lot of opinions and arguments.

Wen Hao scratched his head, and suddenly felt a little excited, so he lowered his head and picked up the vegetables.

And Tang Lingfei suddenly asked: "Xu Zhe, you are going to the provincial capital to participate in the semi-finals in a few days, aren't you?" ”

"That's right."

"Can you take me with you? Anyway, it's Saturday and Sunday, and I want to hang out too, so I can join you. Oh yes, Xiao Yezi can also go with him. ”

Faced with this request of his childhood sweetheart, Xu Zhe thought about it a little.

Considering the aggressiveness that Senior Sister Shen Lan showed when they met last time, he felt that it was really necessary to bring a talisman. He does not reject Shen Lan, on the contrary, he actually has a lot of good feelings. But to start with her so early...... That's still it.

Even if he doesn't talk about intellectual reasons, just thinking about the intimacy of lovers, he is still a little unaccustomed.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay." At that time, it will be a two-day tour of the provincial capital. ”

Wen Hao on the side suddenly asked, "You won't invite me?" ”

Xu Zhe: "Can your parents agree?" ”

Wen Hao looked unconvinced: "But, will their parents agree?" ”

Song Xingye smiled and said, "We also have to go back and tell our parents, so we can't be 100% sure about this." ”

Xu Zhe: "If you want to go home and tell your parents about this, you'd better think about your rhetoric in advance." So, let's say I'm your dad and you come and tell me. ”

Wen Hao: "Why are you my father?" ”

Xu Zhe: "This is just to help you substitute that situation, okay, don't be ambiguous, tell me quickly." ”

Wen Hao struggled for a while, and finally said: "Dad, I'm going to go out with Xu Zhe for a weekend in a few days, do you think it can work?" Xu Zhe, you know, we are the strongest in our class, and I take the first place in the grade every time. ”

Xu Zhe: "Son, ......"

There was a faint green muscle on Wen Hao's head: "My dad doesn't talk like that, you just say the lines!" ”

Xu Zhe: "Child, don't be so impatient. Okay, let's get down to business, where are you going? Is the internet café all night? ”

Wen Hao: "No, no, go to the provincial capital." That, Xu Zhe is going to participate in the informatics competition, I will go to watch from the sidelines, and by the way, I will play with them in the provincial capital. ”

Xu Zhe deliberately said: "Oh, people are going to participate in the competition, what will be the extra points for the high school entrance examination in the future?" What about you, are you just stupid and playing with the past? ”

Wen Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly hung his head a little depressed: "Forget it, stop acting, I don't think my dad really will agree......"

Xu Zhe shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't help.

Wen Hao: "Playing an adult like my father, why are you so skilled?" ”

Xu Zhe: "No way, I'm just very skilled." ”

But Wen Hao was still a little angry: "But, wouldn't the parents of the two of them tell them this?" ”

Xu Zhe glanced at the girl and said with a smile: "If you can also get the same ...... as Song Xingye in the exam"

Wen Hao had a painful expression: "Damn, don't say it!" ”
