Genius Girlfriend

Chapter 42: Interstellar Treasure Hunt (Part 1)

Lin Zhixia is full of energy and smug. Holding the receiver of the landline, she said firmly: "Jiang Yubai, I will bring back the gold medal of this game for you to play."

Jiang Yubai followed her meaning and echoed: "I really haven't played, the gold medal of the National Math Olympiad."

"Wait for my return," Lin Zhixia agreed with him, "I invite you to eat in the school cafeteria."

Jiang Yubai doesn't like the school cafeteria very much. But he didn't want to admit that he was a picky person. He in turn invited Lin Zhixia: "I invite you to come to my house for dinner."

Lin Zhixia suddenly remembered the "Museum Pass" Jiang Yubai had given her. She asked extremely expectantly: "When can I go to your house?"

Jiang Yubai replied: "When you are free."

Lin Zhixia jumped in place: "Okay, Jiang Yubai, see you next month."

Jiang Yubai answered, "See you next month."

Before ending the call, Lin Zhixia said by the way: "I will call you on time at six tomorrow night, okay?"

"Yes." Jiang Yubai promised her concisely.

The atmosphere on the table was quite calm. Jiang Yubai put the phone in his pocket and picked up a Kabayaki eel roll with his chopsticks. The eel roll contains cucumber, eel, and avocado. It is surrounded by seaweed and covered with white sesame seeds. He thinks Lin Zhixia should like this dish. He is already secretly planning the future lunch. He hoped that Lin Zhixia would have a good time in his house.

Uncle suddenly asked him: "Jiang Yubai, did you call Lin Zhixia?"

Jiang Yubai admitted: "Yes."

He waited for almost two days before receiving a call from Lin Zhixia. He pressed the answer button without hesitation, almost forgetting that his parents and uncle were still with him. He carefully weighed the call just now, and believed that his words were correct and that they met the usual requirements of his parents.

Mother smiled and said, "You have a very good relationship with Lin Zhixia."

Uncle picked up a transparent goblet: "Sister-in-law, listen to me, I have met Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia's child has an IQ of 174, she is really not an ordinary girl. We Xiaojiang and her make friends...just like me Like the young masters in classical music, we maintain a pure and unblemished relationship, a relationship that promotes each other. Xiao Jiang is willing to humbly ask others, probably learned from me.

Dad asked back: "Really?"

Uncle put down the wine glass and changed his words on the spot: "It is more likely that Xiao Jiang understood it himself."

Dad leaned back in his chair slightly and looked at Jiang Yubai quietly. After a while, Dad said warmly: "You and Lin Zhixia are good friends, we are happy to see you get along well with your classmates..."

Dad put his fingers around the mouth of the wine glass and stopped halfway through the conversation-this is rare. He is always logically clear and educates his son methodically. Tonight, he looked sideways at his wife.

Jiang Yubai's mother took on this important task. Mother wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and implicitly reminded: "Jiang Yubai, you are eleven years old, and in a few months, you will be twelve years old and a little man. You must understand that you are friends with other girls. The sexes of the two of you are different. You have to respect her and set the boundaries and scales."

Jiang Yubai nodded.

Uncle tapped the wine glass with his fingertips: "Yes, take the limit, Xiao Jiang."

Jiang Yubai answered happily: "No problem."

"That's good," Mom said, "Mom and Dad believe you."

The instructions of parents and uncles inspired Jiang Yubai's gender consciousness. Although he has used "manly standards" to demand himself since he was a child, he does often ignore "the problem of the boundary between boys and girls". Fortunately, he and Lin Zhixia have always maintained a deep friendship, mutual respect, mutual supervision, and never offended each other-he has completely forgotten how his self-esteem was destroyed by Lin Zhixia when he was nine years old.

At 8:30 that night, Jiang Yubai fell asleep peacefully.

At the same time, Lin Zhixia turned off the lights and went to bed.

Lin Zhixia hugged the little penguin with his left hand, opened the quilt with his right hand, and lay down on the soft bed. She silently read Jiang Yubai's words-the universe is black, and she is not afraid of the universe. She believes that her fear comes from the unknown. For example, "dark matter" is an invisible matter in the astrophysics theory that is widely distributed in space. If "dark matter" really exists and Lin Zhixia can clearly see it, then the universe should be another grand and dazzling scene in her eyes.

Darkness and light are relative concepts. As long as Lin Zhixia has light in her heart, the night when she can't see her fingers is bright.

Lin Zhixia no longer shrinks, no longer timid. She lay flat on the bed, showing her whole face, as if she were sleeping at home, sleeping peacefully until the next morning.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the National Mathematical Olympiad officially started.

The National Mathematical Olympiad has an alias called "National Mathematical Winter Camp for Middle School Students".

Lin Zhixia proudly declared to her parents that she would participate in the National Math Olympiad. In front of outsiders, she humbly stated that she had signed up for a winter camp.

The topics of the winter camp are well presented. The first question is an algebra question. Given a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers, m sub-columns contain n different positive integers, it is required to prove the lower bound of the summation formula of the general term of the sequence. Lin Zhixia proved another proposition with pen, then narrowed the scope and applied it to the summation formula limited by the problem, and quickly solved the problem.

Next, she encountered the problem of plane geometry and composition.

Lin Zhixia didn't delay a minute and wrote down her thought process directly on the answer sheet.

The so-called "Olympics Competition" is actually doing questions in the examination room. The International Mathematical Olympiad is to do problems with competitors from all over the world. There is no essential difference between competition and examination, and Lin Zhixia has no pressure.

The math competition is divided into two days, with three questions each day, each with 21 points. After Lin Zhixia finished the test paper, she was reminded of the question on the paper again. She was sitting in the classroom, full of Hua Luogeng's "Theory of Prime Numbers".

When she walked out of the examination room and met again with the teacher of the provincial team, the teacher asked her how well she was in the exam, and she blurted out subconsciously: "Abel group and exchange group."

The teacher was stunned.

The other students in the provincial team were also stunned.

Lin Zhixia said hurriedly: "I did well in the exam."

Most of the players in the provincial team are boys, and girls only make up a small percentage. Looking at the entire winter camp, the number of girls is not dominant. In the international Olympic battlefields over the years, the national teams of all countries are dominated by male players. Perhaps because of this reason, Lin Zhixia is very concerned in the competition.

By the way, there is another reason-she is too young.

She cautiously expressed her opinion: "The questions on the test paper this time are very exciting, especially the combination question, which is cleverly structured, starting from the drawer principle, without super outline, and training thinking."

A boy next to her said: "That question, there is nothing to talk about."

Lin Zhixia raised her head and looked at him.

This boy is the senior in the competition class of Provincial No. 1 Middle School and his name is Guan Tong.

Senior Guan Tong is seventeen years old this year, and he is in the third year of high school. He is considered a top student in the high school competition class. His goal is the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad, and this year is his last chance to win.

Lin Zhixia believes that there is a generation gap between her and Guan Tong. Guan Tong often refutes her point of view-no matter what kind of opinion she expresses, Guan Tong will immediately put forward a different view.

In contrast, another senior in the provincial team named Luo Ying had a much better attitude than Guan Tong.

Luo Ying is a senior in the provincial first high school competition class. At the 2005 high school club welcome party, Lin Zhixia and Luo Ying met. She remembered that at that time Senior Sister Luo Ying was still in the Peiyou class of the high school. Later, the elder sister transferred to the competition class. It is said that the senior sister is very hardworking. She wakes up early in the morning and goes to bed early in the morning, working hard for a whole year and a half before she gains a foothold in the competition class.

Lin Zhixia particularly admires such a person. She was full of respect for Luo Ying-senpai, and she often followed Luo Ying's back and happily called her: "Senior Sister, Senior Sister."

Luo Ying is also very protective of Lin Zhixia.

Luo Ying heard Guan Tong's words and immediately retorted: "There is nothing to say about the subject? Can you give me a similar one?"

Guan Tong smiled "haha". He wiped his face awkwardly, and his gaze stayed on Luo Ying's face. At the end of January when it was freezing cold and the wind was bitter, he and Luo Ying looked at each other for ten seconds, and a thin layer of sweat broke out in his heart. Sweat eroded his chest, he raised his head and said: "Luo Ying..."

Luo Ying pretended not to hear him.

In the third grade of senior high school, Guan Tong was considered a man of great importance. He is tall and thin, with good looks, excellent grades, and a successful pass. Half of his foot has entered the mathematics department of top universities. How open and bright his future is!

However, he talked to Luo Ying, and Luo Ying always ignored him.

Luo Ying only said to Lin Zhixia: "Let's go to the fruit shop in front of the hotel to buy strawberries."

Lin Zhixia's eyes lit up: "Strawberry? Good, good!"

Luo Ying muttered to herself: "Girls are much cuter than boys."

Lin Zhixia did not hear her clearly. Lin Zhixia asked her: "Senior sister, what were you talking about just now?"

Luo Ying smiled: "I didn't say anything."

Luo Ying stretched out a hand to Lin Zhixia, and Lin Zhixia immediately held her. Luo Ying seemed to suddenly have a well-behaved sister. She is an only child at home, and her parents have only one daughter. In the past few days, she suddenly realized that a sister in the family seemed to be pretty good. The friendship between sisters is deeper and easier to understand each other.

The examination phase of the National Olympic Mathematical Competition has ended.

All the students in the provincial team relaxed temporarily. The hotel they stayed in has its own chess and card room, and the team leader allows everyone to entertain them appropriately. Playing chess and cards in the chess and card room is harmless.

Guan Tong once again made an invitation to Luo Ying. He asked Luo Ying to go to the chess room and play a game of chess with him.

When he was talking to Luo Ying, Lin Zhixia stood beside them with a bag of strawberries.

Lin Zhixia opened the plastic bag with a small opening and took a peek at the strawberry. Strawberries that come on the market in winter are big, soft and hard, and look very sweet.

Lin Zhixia bought this whole bag of strawberries. She used her 500 yuan scholarship in her private collection. She is going to wash the strawberries and share them with her senior sister.

At this moment, the senior sister suddenly said: "I am sixteen years old, you are seventeen years old, what is there to talk about in this age group? Adolescence agitation can't be controlled, and it's not promising."

Guan Tong stammered in front of Luo Ying, his face pale as if a persimmon had been beaten by Qiu Shuang.

He is still a person who wants a face. Luo Ying said that for this reason, he could no longer express his favor for her anyway. His vague confession has been ruthlessly dismantled by Luo Ying. His fragile young man's heart is like a piece of broken glass, and the glass ballast is all over the floor.

Guan Tong's throat was sore and his eyes flushed.

The man does not flick when he has tears, but he is not sad.

Guan Tong wants to bid farewell to Luo Ying.

In 2006, Taiwan idol dramas swept the entire Asia. Guan Tong watched a little when he was free. He decided to imitate the clip from the idol drama, only called the last word in the name "Luo Ying", which seemed kind.

Guan Tong raised his arms, wiped his face, and said in a low voice: "Sakura..."

Lin Zhixia continued, "Hey, hey."

Guan Tong was startled, and then read: "Ying..."

Lin Zhixia said: "Hey!"

Guan Tong was stiff and stuck in place.

Lin Zhixia's dubbing made Guan Tong's carefully prepared and affectionate call all reduced to "嘤嘤嘤" wailing.

His masculinity is gone, all gone.

Lin Zhixia comforted him: "Senior Guan Tong, although you were rejected by Senior Sister Luo Ying, you are still an outstanding player in the provincial team. You have the hope of participating in the International Olympics. You should stop babbling, everyone. We will encounter setbacks. We must overcome setbacks and strive to achieve higher goals."

Guan Tong calmed down and said coldly: "Lin Zhixia, your high score in the provincial team's high league competition is nothing remarkable. The Beijing team and the Shanghai team are the two strongest teams in the country. Your level is not high enough. The first team in Beijing can only go to the second team at most..."

"Really?" Lin Zhixia looked at him, "Do you know me? Sometimes I don't necessarily show my level."

Guan Tong hesitated. He knew that Lin Zhixia was very powerful, but he couldn't bring Lin Zhixia to the altar. The strongest players in the world are basically boys, and he has never seen a girl win an international Olympic champion. He subconsciously believes that female players are weaker and have greater emotional fluctuations.

Lin Zhixia told him: "I will definitely win the gold medal, I will definitely enter the national training team, and in a few years, I will have to publish a paper."

Guan Tong stared at her, breathing stagnant. Her eyes were very firm, without hesitation or doubt.

Luo Ying said softly and roundly: "Alright, let's go wash the strawberries."

Lin Zhixia was excited: "Um, wash strawberries." She circled Luo Ying: "Senior sister, do you like strawberries?"

Luo Ying said: "I like watermelons."

"By the way, I like watermelons too." Lin Zhixia replied.

Their voices gradually faded away.

There was no one in the corridor.

Two days later, the exam results of the winter camp were released. As Lin Zhixia announced, she won the gold medal in this competition and had the opportunity to enter the national training team and participate in the math competition on the international arena.

The news went back to the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, and the whole school was fried.

A local reporter stood at the school gate, looking for opportunities to interview Lin Zhixia. A newspaper called "Morning Daily" even drafted a headline called "Smart Girl's National Olympic Mathematics Road". They eagerly awaited Lin Zhixia's reply. As long as she accepts the interview, the article will be published immediately.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Zhixia refused all interviews. She said that she was not mature enough to be able to face the public media alone. The focused attention of the public will increase her pressure.

The principal of the Provincial No. 1 Middle School immediately came forward and coordinated all the media. Lin Zhixia's award was only spread within the campus.

Jiang Yubai believes that Lin Zhixia's decision-making is very forward-looking. In any case, she is only twelve years old now, too much attention from the outside world may affect her peaceful life. Moreover, she has already won the gold medal in the national mathematics competition, and there is basically no problem in sending it to the university... Jiang Yubai thought of this, and Lin Zhixia said to him: "Look, this is my gold medal."

When they were speaking, they were in a class meeting.

Teacher Zhang spent five minutes focusing on praising Lin Zhixia. Later, Teacher Zhang talked about "Class Style Construction". He hopes that all students set goals, maintain confidence and keep moving forward.

Teacher Zhang lags behind, and the applause of the second (seventeenth) class is endless.

Lin Zhixia moved an inch away from the edge of the seat and stuffed the gold medal into Jiang Yubai's hand.

Jiang Yubai personally touched the gold medal of the national mathematics competition for the first time-in this year's competition, dozens of gold medal winners were born across the country, and Lin Zhixia was one of those tens of them.

Jiang Yubai lowered his head and looked at the gold medal: "Very good." He praised Lin Zhixia: "This is what you deserve."

Lin Zhixia held the gold medal strap and wrapped it around her wrist. She held the desk with her right hand and said after a while: "Jiang Yubai, I might be very busy this semester..."

Jiang Yubai thought that Lin Zhixia was about to go to university. He couldn't face her gone forever like he had encouraged her to go to high school before. He sat silently, his back straight, like a green bamboo standing still.

He heard Lin Zhixia say softly: "In two days, I will join the national training team, and then I will probably participate in the Romanian Mathematics Masters in 2007. At the Romanian Mathematics Masters at the end of February this year, each country can only send 4 players..."

Jiang Yubai picked up a pen and wrote in his notebook: Lin Zhixia>2007 Mathematics Masters.

"What do you mean?" Lin Zhixia asked.

"Lin Zhixia will definitely succeed." Jiang Yubai replied.

Jiang Yubai buttoned his pen cap and restored his usual calmness. He calmly said: "Come on, Lin Zhixia, the international battle has started, you should..."

"I should charge forward!" Lin Zhixia announced proudly.

She was glowing with brilliance, and she seemed to be a little different from the previous time. Jiang Yubai could vaguely perceive her growth and transformation. He discussed with her: "You have no time to come to my house this month. Next month..."

Lin Zhixia interrupted him again: "I will definitely go to your house next month to play with you."
