What to Do When Someone Steals Your Destiny? I'll Just Kill Her-Chapter 52: On the Eve of the Game
Chapter 52
"Teacher Zhao, who from our school will be participating in this competition?" Ren Ran asked.
"You, Kong Lian, Lv Boyi, and Fu Yan - the four of you," he replied.
"Fu Yan?" Ren Ran said in surprise.
Teacher Zhao knew what she was shocked about and laughed, "Fu Yan is useless at everything except math. He's extremely unbalanced. If his other subjects were even at an average level, he could get a guaranteed admission. "
"Oh, I see."
Ren Ran didn't know much about Fu Yan. She had only heard of girls confessing to him or getting beaten up by him. She hadn't heard anything related to grades.
When Ren Ran and Kong Lian returned to class, the news that they would participate in the math olympiad spread.
Guo Tongwen grabbed Ren Ran's hand, "Ranran, I'm rooting for you. You must crush her."
Zhao Yi glanced at Kong Lian. She wondered if it was her imagination, but Kong Lian seemed different today.
"Don't you think Kong Lian has changed?"
"No, she's the same as always, just oddly behaved," Guo Tongwen said with a look.
Ren Ran observed her. Indeed, many changes - she had become silent, as if the gossip around her was unrelated. She was wholly focused on studying, completely unlike her previous flirtatious self.
Lv Boyi came to Class 2's door, "Ren Ran, Kong Lian, the teacher is looking for you."
Kong Lian closed her workbook and got up to leave.
Ren Ran also stood up to follow.
The three of them arrived at the teacher's office together. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om
Fu Yan had come earlier than them.
The vice principal looked at the four and solemnly instructed, "You four will represent our school in the upcoming municipal math olympiad. Bring out your best abilities for the glory of our school and your own honors. In the next few days, Teacher Zhao will be your team leader and coach you for the competition. Use your evening self-study time here for training and preparation."
"Yes," the four responded.
In the training classroom,除开敷衍,另外三人都认真做练习题。the other three were diligently doing practice questions except Fu Yan, who was casually slacking off. If you assumed he was poor at academics from this, you would be completely wrong.
"Only Fu Yan solved the final difficult question," Teacher Zhao announced after grading their test papers.
The other three looked towards Fu Yan, still nonchalantly relaxed, as if he had just done something trivial.
"Fu Yan, explain to them your thought process for the last question."
Fu Yan's brows furrowed slightly. He lazily straightened up and started explaining seriously and meticulously in a clear, cold voice that was pleasing to listen to.
"Understand?" Fu Yan asked plainly, then immediately sat to the side, showing he wouldn't tolerate pestering if they didn't understand.
Lv Boyi spoke up, "The concepts you used are university-level. Fu Yan, up to what year of college curriculum have you self-studied?"
He had only just started second year material.
"Second year," Fu Yan casually replied.
Lv Boyi's gaze towards him changed. Previously somewhat dismissive, he now looked at Fu Yan with admiration.
Ren Ran also admired this unassuming math genius.
Kong Lian's eyes shifted between them. She would glance at Fu Yan from time to time with an inscrutable darkness in her eyes. She clenched her teeth tightly and took her test paper back.
On the eve of the competition, Teacher Zhao brought the four to the stadium.
When Ren Ran returned from the bathroom, she saw each of them holding a bottle of water.
Lv Boyi handed a bottle to her.
"Thanks," Ren Ran said as she accepted it.
Just as she was about to open it, she asked, "Lv Boyi, did you buy this water? Let me know how much and I'll pay you back."
"It wasn't me. Kong Lian treated us."
Ren Ran immediately looked at Lv Boyi and Fu Yan's water bottles.
