Registration for the National Physics Competition for Middle School Students will begin in two weeks. This competition is held once a year. If you win the first place at the provincial level, you may be recommended to a relevant major in a key school. If you can win the top three in the country, you can basically enter the top domestic universities such as Youth University and National University. It is the first choice competition for many students who take the competitive route.
However, superior returns also mean harsh conditions. First of all, the competition quota is given by the school, and not just anyone can apply. Then, after the school registers uniformly, it must go through the district competition, city competition, provincial competition, and finally the national competition.
The best result of the No. 3 Middle School in this competition over the years is the second place in the province. Xie Tian is the most promising student in the school in the past three to five years. There was originally a place reserved for him. Xie Tian is almost not partial to subjects. There are only good and better, so the school also reserved places for him in competitions in other subjects. However, in subjects such as mathematics, biochemistry, and above, he must have a national award or above to get an recommended place, while liberal arts subjects require continuous admission. There are no opportunities for competition routes.
After Xie Tian chose liberal arts, everyone from the teaching director to the teachers of various subjects talked to him more than once, and even tried to communicate with Xie Tian’s parents. However, Xie Tian’s family situation was special, and no matter how hard the school tried, it could not change Xie Tian’s mind. Determined.
Despite this, there are still people who are not willing to give up, such as Teacher Ji who teaches physics. When Xie Tian first came to the class, he did not pay attention all the time in class, and sometimes he did not take the initiative to ask the teacher like other top students. He was like He was a borderline creature. If he wasn't tall and handsome and could not be ignored, few people would be impressed by him.
Except for the mathematics teacher who had great expectations for him from the beginning, the teachers in other subjects only regarded him as a student who once had good grades but had given up on himself. But it was such a person who passed the physics test in the first monthly exam. First, Teacher Ji almost thought that he was born for physics, but he chose liberal arts instead. This made Teacher Ji sad.
So he didn't give up and asked Xie Tian to talk to him in the office again. Even a person like Xie Tian was shocked by the posture inside the door. This was not a one-on-one conversation at all. Even the dean of students was sitting there watching. Looking at him.
Teacher Ji was very happy to see him and took the initiative to get him to sit down. He first asked about whether he was used to studying in the liberal arts class. Seeing that Xie Tian had a calm face, he had to explain the competition again in a sincere manner. , Xie Tian would not let go no matter what.
Teacher Ji still wanted to speak, but was stopped by the smiling dean, who patted Xie Tian and said kindly: "Xiao Xie, you are a smart child. You are not smart enough to make such a choice." After that, He got a bottle of water for Xie Tian and said: "The school is also aware of your situation and is preparing to apply for tuition exemption for you. Although you are a high-quality student, it will be more convincing if you can win another award."
Xie Tian pursed his lips and lowered his eyes without saying anything. He knew that some people here really felt sorry for him, while others had other reasons. He had said rejection many times, and his attitude was very firm, so the more he went on, the more he felt. Nothing to say.
The teachers tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. Seeing that class was about to begin, Grandma Li, the former head teacher, stood up and said: "Since he has his own choice, we should respect it, but Xie Tian, there is still a long way to go in life." "It's not a good habit to be stubborn."
Xie Tian looked at the palm of his hand and said nothing.

When Xie Tian returned to the classroom, class had already started. When he returned to his desk, Ma Yangyang pushed a small piece of paper over.
"What's the matter?"
Xie Tian wrote on the note without blinking: "A teacher in a national essay competition asked me if I wanted to participate."
Ma Yangyang only knew that he was called over by the teacher, and he didn't know who the teacher was. Even though he said that, he thought it was almost. Although the bonus points in the essay competition have dropped sharply in recent years, now they can only add 5 points at most. , but speaking of it, it is only 5 points. For students, 1 point is life, so Ma Yangyang hopes that he will participate.
However, Xie Tian said that his composition was average and he did not waste time on it.
Although Ma Yangyang lamented that Xie Tian was not proactive about such a good thing, he also felt that Xie Tian's decision was quite reasonable. Ma Yangyang's own composition ability was also average, and he had spent so much time in a competition that he knew he would not get the best result. Might as well use it to do a few more sets of math problems.
The first two months of Ma Yangyang and Xie Tian's sophomore year of high school passed uneventfully while studying.
May Day is here in a blink of an eye. For high school students, holidays are celebrated once or less. This is their last May Day holiday before the college entrance examination. Wang Yuelei came to make an appointment for a "slam dunk contest" a long time ago. Ma Yangyang, who was about to become a mushroom in the liberal arts class, naturally accepted the challenge with great interest.
Xie Tian looked calm and didn't say anything after knowing that he would have to study for two days during the holiday, but when school was over, he threw two sets of test questions that he had made up for him.
Xie Tian actually played the ball very well. This was something Ma Yangyang realized later. Not only was he good at the game, but he also knew how to play with his head. He had played 1V1 with him many times, but Xie Tian always lost on purpose, so that It took Ma Yangyang a long time to understand this fact. He remembered asking Xie Tian at that time why he said he couldn't even though he was very good at playing. At that time, they were sitting casually on the court together, catching their breath. Hearing this, Xie Tian calmly clenched his palms and said flatly: "I don't want to play."
I don’t want to fight, so I just say I don’t know how to save trouble. I don’t want to fight, but I practice alone with him. Later, Ma Yangyang found out what happened to his palm injury and never asked him to play basketball again.
Thinking carefully about it, he hadn't played football for two or three months. Ma Yangyang's hands were really itchy, but he couldn't bear to see Xie Tian for several days, so he invited Xie Tian to come and watch the game. The next day, he came with exercises. Ma Yangyang almost fainted when he saw it. Xie Tian was not doing questions, but compiling papers for him.
I thought to myself that you might as well not come, just give the questions at home and save yourself the trouble of traveling so far, but then I thought about it, wasn't it just because of myself that he had to travel so far
Did he want to tell him that he was by his side
Ma Yangyang's eyes lit up. Xie Tian reached out to rub his soft chestnut hair in the sun. Finally, he turned his hand in another direction and patted his shoulder, saying, "Come on."
Ma Yangyang waved his fists in circles beside his head, making a booming sound in his mouth, and then made a less than standard military salute and said, "Sir, the fuel is full."
The people around him couldn't help laughing. Ma Yangyang glanced at the giggling fool, and then looked at Xie Tian with bright eyes, only to find that Xie Tian was also laughing.
Ma Yangyang turned around and said to Wang Yuelei while pulling on his wrist guard: "Wang Dalei, you have to be careful. Today your Yang brother is going to let you know what it means to be powerful!"

I changed some contents of the previous chapter, so this chapter is free for everyone to read, but I stupidly forgot to click on the free chapter, so this chapter still has to be charged. I promise that I will definitely remember to click on the free chapter in the next chapter. Please supervise me and don’t slap me in the face.
And adults who have bought the previous chapter V before can also go back and read the previous chapter directly without being charged twice.
As for the double update I owe, I will make up for the TAT card in the next two days until I think about it.
