Chapter 21 Can We Still Be Friends?
The weekend arrived quickly, and Li Haiping led five people to City A to participate in a competition. Although they were competitors, the atmosphere among them was unusually harmonious during the flight.
After all, for them, there is more than one path in life than being admitted to university through direct admission. Those who are qualified to participate in this competition usually have good grades, and even if they are not tolerant, they still have many other options.
"Well, although it's not my first time participating in a competition, I still get a little nervous every time," a round-faced girl sitting next to Lin Zhihao said, pouting.
"Just a normal reaction," a bespectacled boy behind me replied, adjusting his glasses.
"Oh~ you idiot," the round-faced girl turned her head.
"Hello, my name is Shen Xiaoxiao, you can call me Xiaoxiao. You must be Lin Zhi, the all-around genius of our school?"
"I will not change my name or surname, I am Lin Zhihao." Hearing the girl call him a god, Lin Zhihao was immediately flattered. That's life, the purpose of hard work is to make a big splash at an uncertain time.
"Wow, you must be really confident about getting into university this time. Well, I didn't have high hopes for the competition. I just wanted to watch the gods fight."
"After all, such a scene is rare, and we might even witness a major event that will go down in history," Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly.
Indeed, for many students at Qingcheng Middle School, the path has already been paved, and excellent academic performance is merely icing on the cake.
"Based on past experience, the candidates for direct admission should be among the top three. As long as you perform consistently, Lin Zhihao, you're definitely in the running."
"Right, what do you think?" Yang Yi smiled slightly when Shen Xiaoxiao asked him. "I guess so."
The journey was long, and soon everyone fell asleep. Only one person's computer screen remained lit, watching past problem-solving videos. He stared intently at the screen, and when the video ended, he stared intently in a certain direction for a few seconds before turning off the screen and falling asleep.
Upon arriving at the competition venue, Lin Zhihao and his group, led by Li Haiping, simulated the process on-site before returning to the hotel to rest and await the start of the competition.
Inside the room, Lin Zhihao was doing stretching exercises when there was a knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, I found it was Yang Yi.
Lin Zhihao looked at Yang Yi with a questioning gaze, her face full of doubt.
Seeing the door open, Yang Yi said, "Lin Zhihao, I heard there are lots of delicious foods at Wan Shi Street in City A. Do you want to go shopping together?"
"!!! Really, I want to go!" Lin Zhihao's eyes lit up when she heard there was delicious food. Of all the delicious food, the ones you haven't tried before are always the most tempting.
"I knew she would go. A top student wouldn't cram at the last minute." Behind Yang Yi, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was sitting next to Lin Zhihao on the plane, popped out.
She was about to pull Lin Zhihao away when Wen Shixin grabbed her by the back of the neck and said calmly, "Let her change her clothes first."
"Ugh, ugh, that's boring." Seeing that the bookworm Wen Shixin actually cared about whether girls changed their clothes or not, Shen Xiaoxiao found it extremely boring and turned around and left.
After saying "Sorry" to Lin Zhihao and the other person, Wen Shixin chased after Shen Xiaoxiao.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. Why don't you change your clothes first?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, give me two minutes." With that, Lin Zhihao closed the door, quickly opened her suitcase, pulled out a sweatshirt, put it on, and followed Yang Yi to catch up with Shen Xiaoxiao and the others.
Upon arriving at Wanshi Street, seeing the long street lined with all sorts of unique delicacies, Lin Zhi and several others immediately joined the queue.
The group agreed to divide the work among themselves so they could share the food.
Through Lin Zhihao's persistent efforts, she finally squeezed out of the crowd and held the plum blossom cake in her hand.
Searching for other people.
"Lin Zhihao! Over here." Shen Xiaoxiao waved her hands, beckoning to Lin Zhihao from beside the long table.
As soon as she sat down, looking at the long table laden with local specialties, Lin Zhihao couldn't help but start to feast.
Lin Zhihao ate too fast and suddenly started pounding her chest. Two cups of mineral water were handed to her from both sides.
Lin Zhihao took the one on her right and gulped it down, finally swallowing the plum blossom cake that was stuck in her throat.
Seeing that Lin Zhihao didn't take the water he offered but instead took Yang Yi's, Wen Shixin didn't think much of it.
Although he didn't care, some people did.
"Hey, you idiot, you don't have a crush on the genius, do you? You usually only do math problems, how come you're being so considerate now, even handing him water?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked with a smile as she sat next to Wen Shixin.
Wen Shixin blushed slightly. "No, don't talk nonsense."
He simply had a slight admiration for the all-around genius.
"Tch~ Pour me a glass of water." Seeing Wen Shixin's reaction, Shen Xiaoxiao gave the order directly.
Bang! Wen Shixin unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and placed it directly next to Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao pouted, looking unhappy. She also wanted to drink what was poured into the cup.
"Eat slowly, don't choke again." Seeing that Lin Zhihao didn't learn her lesson and was still wolfing down her food after finishing her water, Yang Yi frowned slightly and stopped her, saying, "If you keep eating so fast, I'll take it away."
Lin Zhihao, whose face was puffed up like a steamed bun, quickly hugged the lunchbox in front of her and stared at Yang Yi warily.
Yang Yi, who was just trying to give a friendly reminder:......
After having a meal and strolling around the surrounding area, the group returned to their hotel.
"Zhihao, this is for you." Lin Zhihao, who was about to enter the room, was stopped by Yang Yi.
"These are nutritional supplements. I usually take one when I'm nervous during a match. Tomorrow's match is very important for us, so you can take one in advance to prevent sudden nervousness or anything like that."
"Okay, thanks!" Lin Zhihao took the nutritional supplements and went into the room.
Yang Yi smiled gently, "It's my pleasure."
Lin Zhi looked at the nutritional supplements in her hand, waved, and said, "Well then, goodnight, bye-bye."
"Bye-Bye."
