Pei Zhi's departure seemed like a superficial touch, but it caused an uproar in the entire training team.
From Zhang Shuping to a senior high school student whom she had never spoken to, everyone came to ask her: Why did Pei Zhi leave
For almost three whole days, during breaks between classes and meals, people would chase her and ask her questions.
Lin Zhaoxi was very upset, while worrying about Pei Zhi, she also had to deal with the problems of her classmates and teachers.
Most of what she said was—I don't know either.
But the one who responded the most is - you have such a good relationship, how could you not know
"I really don't fucking know!" Lu Zhihao was annoyed by the question once, he slapped the table and got up, yelling at the pretty senior in front of him.
After three consecutive days of heart-to-heart talks between Zhang Shuping and Xie Ran, Lin Zhaoxi finally broke down.
In the summer night playground, cicadas are singing loudly.
Lin Zhaoxi was forced to take a walk with Zhang Shuping.
Walking after meals for three consecutive days made Lin Zhaoxi drop a lot of homework. Not only that, but every time she had a deep talk with Zhang Shuping and learned that Pei Zhi quit the training team after leaving only one word, her anxiety became more and more intense.
"We have already walked the fifth lap, are you still unwilling to tell us?" Zhang Shuping asked.
"Old Zhang, I really don't know, he really didn't tell me!" Lin Zhaoxi was anxious, and called Lao Zhang without thinking.
But Zhang Shuping is Zhang Shuping, and he will never change his color before the collapse of Mount Tai.
"Do you really know nothing?" He only asked this sentence.
The sound of cicadas fell silent, Zhang Shuping's eyes were sharp.
of course not.
Lin Zhaoxi thought silently.
Maybe Lu Zhihao and Chen Chengcheng didn't know, but when they were in primary school, Lin Zhaoxi had heard Pei Zhi talk about his family and his father on such a starry summer night.
All in all, probably the most involuntary things for everyone.
"For so many days, you are not even willing to prevaricate me by saying that Pei Zhi wants to go abroad, don't you think you are too obvious?" Zhang Shuping continued to walk forward.
"I can't tell."
"Is there anything you can't say? You may think we are gossiping, or prying into Pei Zhi's privacy, but we are all people who really care about him."
"But it's still Pei Zhi's business."
Whether he insists on studying mathematics and what kind of life path he insists on is his own business.
"We all want to help him."
"Nobody can help him."
"What if he gave up math?"
Lin Zhaoxi stopped and looked up at the slightly aged face of the middle-aged man.
The air was hot and oppressive, making it hard to breathe, but the stars were still shining brightly.
"Trust me, it won't."
She said to Zhang Shuping.

Later, Lin Zhaoxi thought that maybe the future Pei Zhi would be so clear-headed and firm that she would maintain an extraordinary trust in him.
If she had cared more about Pei Zhi at that time, would she have noticed Pei Zhi's abnormality earlier
This anomaly comes from the clothes that Pei Zhi seldom changes according to the seasons, from the down jacket that only Ah Guang's mother remembers, and from the moment when she buys breakfast for Pei Zhi every morning, and Pei Zhidu accepts it happily.
At that time, she thought it was a boy's independence and a personality that didn't care about most outside things.
But she forgot that Pei Zhi was only 15 years old.
At that time, homework and extracurricular studies were like a mountain, and she had to read too many things and do too many questions, and she didn't even have time to call and talk to Pei Zhi.
It may be that there are too many things in her mind every day, or she goes to bed too late and wakes up too early. Lin Zhaoxi sometimes feels that there are too many things going on in her mind, and she is a little overwhelmed.
However, it is also possible that children like Yongchuan University's quartet are naturally smarter than her. After a period of training and study, everyone's level is gradually pulled to the same starting line, and this becomes more obvious.
In contrast, she did find that she was slow.
Once they discussed a function equation problem, to prove that a positive integer does not belong to the range of f.
Lin Zhaoxi was still working on a draft and felt that this question was still very difficult, but Comrade Ah Guang had already raised his hand excitedly.
"Chen Youguang."
Zhang Shuping called his name, and Ah Guang rushed to the stage, and began to answer questions on the blackboard.
He had a clear mind and a quick response. Although he got stuck at the third step, he still thought about it for a while and continued.
Lin Zhaoxi did not solve this problem, but looked at the blackboard, waiting for Ah Guang's answer. She admired this child for making such great progress in such a short period of time.
At the same time, she actually admired Zhang Shuping. The high-intensity training under his leadership is like a hammer, constantly hammering them, and these children, including her mathematical thinking level, are constantly expanding.

Everyone is moving fast, and she can't let up.
During this period of studying when drinking saliva is a luxury, she sometimes falls asleep after reading a book at noon. Although she is very tired, she feels very fulfilled.
This enrichment also diluted Pei Zhi's sense of loss a lot.
Then the only two students who gave her a headache were Yin Xiaolin and Liu Zhiyuan.
Especially Yin Xiaolin, she is very weak and soft, she is her favorite type, so whenever she gets up early or walks back to the dormitory on tiptoe in the early morning, and wakes up the other party accidentally, she herself can't wait to apologize by harakiri.
Yin Xiaolin has a nervous breakdown and takes a long time to fall asleep. Their dormitory is also full of good girls, and everyone will accompany Yin Xiaolin to turn off the lights at 10 o'clock on time.
But Lin can't do it day and night.
Of course, she didn't dare to disturb her roommates by reading in the dormitory at night, so when the lights were turned off at 10 pm, she took a book and a flashlight and ran to the public toilet in the girls' dormitory to read.
This was a plot she often heard when reading X Dongfang.
In all the inspirational stories related to English, there must be such a great god. Every morning and evening, the Great Master memorizes words in the toilet with a book, and also has to fight wits with the housekeeper aunt, and often needs to read books secretly with a flashlight.
She used to think that this was so fucking amazing, a person like her who slept like a dead pig every day would never be able to do it in this life.
But now when she is holding a book by herself and sitting on the mop sink while reading a book while paying attention to the footsteps of the auntie in charge, she just feels that she needs to find a cushion, and her buttocks are so painful.
And Comrade Liu Zhiyuan.
In fact, she was confessed by Liu Zhiyuan.
This is not the first time in her life that she has been confessed, but it is very strange to be confessed 7 years in advance by her future blind date.
Lin Zhaoxi didn't know how Liu Zhiyuan found such a time when she was alone.
The boy stood in front of her and asked sincerely, "Can we talk?" Lin Zhaoxi thought about it, but couldn't find a reason to refuse.
She and the boy walked under a camphor tree with their backs to the lake.
The boy took out a small box and held it up in front of her: "I have liked you for a long time, have you considered being with me?"
Lin Zhaoxi's first reaction was that this was very strange. Among other things, Liu Zhiyuan often picks on her in class. Once when she was reading a programming book, Liu Zhiyuan also said that she was "not doing her job properly".
Now suddenly confess to her, what is going on with this twisted personality
Lin Zhaoxi was silent for a while, and replied seriously: "I want to study hard recently, and I don't want to fall in love."
"Stay with me, and I won't affect you."
"Then there's no point in being together."
"I'm going abroad to study in university. I can take you out with me and pay for your tuition."
Lin Zhaoxi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel humiliated, she just felt that people really wouldn't change. Boys who can't coax girls are still not good at coaxing girls after 7 years.
"My family is not bad," she said.
Liu Zhiyuan clenched the box tightly, with a stiff expression.
Having said all this, Lin Zhaoxi wanted to leave, but the moment she took a step, Liu Zhiyuan grabbed her wrist.
This is a bit of a bloody drama, but Lin Zhaoxi didn't know what to say for a while.
She raised her head, and suddenly found an acquaintance not far away, but she took a closer look and found that it was Yin Xiaolin. God knows, although she and Yin Xiaolin sleep in the same dormitory every day, they haven't spoken to each other since they greeted each other on the first day.
Yin Xiaolin looked at her, and the next moment, she turned around and held the book, frowning and walking towards her.
"Lin Zhaoxi, what are you still doing here? Are you going to stay up all night again?" The girl's tone was deliberately severe.
Liu Zhiyuan looked at Yin Xiaolin, let go of his hand unwillingly, and put the box away.
—
Yin Xiaolin is a good girl, otherwise the other two in their dormitory would not be willing to accompany her to turn off the lights at 10 o'clock every day.
But in the same way, neurasthenia is so painful, no matter how soft Lin Zhaoxi is, she will wake Yin Xiaolin up every day when she gets up and goes to sleep.
Yin Xiaolin forbears and irritably turned over, making Lin Zhaoxi, who had been rescued by her, feel even more guilty.
She even wondered if she should change the dormitory or find a room outside the school, otherwise Yin Xiaolin would be in too much pain.
But Yin Xiaolin had already accommodated her, why couldn't she tell the teacher for a while.
Time was running out, and Lin Zhaoxi couldn't concentrate on thinking about it for the time being.
The high temperature in summer hit again, and the temperature has soared to 40 degrees. Even if she reads in the toilet alone at night, she often sweats profusely.
There is no electric fan in the toilet, and the air is humid and stuffy. Sometimes she really can't concentrate. When she loses her mind, she can see that she has drawn dense e=mc^2 on the book.
At this time, she would hold the phone card and go downstairs, wanting to call Lao Lin.
But when she got to the phone booth, she always realized that it was too late and that Lao Lin must be asleep, and when she really picked up the phone, she didn't know what to say.
After hesitating, she never made the call.
There was even a very ridiculous time, when she was holding the phone card and wanted to make a call, but because of the time she spent squatting in the phone booth hesitating, she actually fell asleep like this.
When she woke up, she had been bitten by mosquitoes in all kinds of big bumps, on her cheeks and forehead, swollen like a toad.
Lu Zhihao also laughed at her, even Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing twice.
Lin Zhaoxi scratched her face twice, itching and hurting.
She wanted to cry a little, but couldn't help laughing along with them.
