On Monday, Zhou Xiu and Xu Qing came to the Fourth Middle School to report.
This year's National Biology Competition has 30 representative teams and 239 students participated, which is the largest number of participants in history.
No. 4 Middle School has made a lot of preparations for holding this competition, candidates from other provinces have already arrived one after another on Sunday. After Zhou Xiu and Xu Qing reported at the team leader's office, they received some materials and went to the hotel to visit the dormitory.
They will spend the next five days here.
Zhou Xiu came to the dormitory to put away her luggage, and the schoolmaster girl in the dormitory saw her eyes lit up, "Wow! I recognize you, you are a show god!"
"Just call me Zhou Xiu." Zhou Xiu said.
"I've watched your game, it's so exciting! It's a pity that our school team didn't do well and didn't make it to the semi-finals." Another girl said.
They were pleasantly surprised by Zhou Xiu's arrival. Zhou Xiu's belongings are very simple, only a schoolbag, in which besides a change of clothes, there is also a magazine and a piece of draft paper.
After saying hello, a girl took out her books and test papers, and raced against the clock to start reviewing. Seeing this, the others didn't want to review at first, but driven by this atmosphere, they were forced to follow suit.
The dormitory was suddenly filled with a nervous atmosphere of preparing for the exam.
Zhou Xiu took out her mobile phone and listened to an online English class.
On the other side, Gu Mingxi calculated that Zhou Xiu should have come to the hotel, and he knocked on the door of Zhou Xiu's dormitory.
The girl who opened the door quickly flashed surprise in her eyes. The boy in front of me looks so good-looking!
Gu Mingxi smiled and said, "I have something to do with Zhou Xiu, please ask her, will she be free later?"
After Zhou Xiu finished listening to the online class, she took off her earphones, and she replied, "I'm free."
Gu Mingxi gave Zhou Xiu an interesting topic, "This year, our school released the IMO mock exam, which is very interesting. I want you to have a look."
When Gu Mingxi watched Zhou Xiu's live broadcast before, he also followed it to do many old Wang's test papers.
Gu Mingxi first paid attention to this live broadcast room, and it was Lao Wang's test questions that aroused his interest. Later, it gradually became Zhou Xiu's way of solving problems.
Gu Mingxi asked Zhou Xiu to have dinner by the way, "I'm afraid Jiajun is looking for you now. Let's have a meal together."
Although Gu Mingxi found Zhou Xiu in advance based on his own merits, but when Jiang Jiajun was looking for Zhou Xiu all over the world, the senior was watching the play from the sidelines. I am afraid that the boat of friendship will capsize if it is said to capsize.
Zhou Xiu asked for a topic, but declined the invitation to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Xiu wrote math problems in the dormitory. She solved a test paper the size of an A4 paper for four hours. She sat from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock. People seem to be glued to the desk.
This attitude of being a domineering student made the other domineering girls in the dormitory tremble. Sending short messages to report the safety of the family can't spare time, and the thought of wasting time is shameful spontaneously.
Before going to bed, the curious female schoolmaster glanced in Zhou Xiu's direction...
It turned out that she was solving math problems and was very tired.
…
The next day, after breakfast, 30 participating teams came to the Bowen Hall of No. 4 Middle School to hold the opening ceremony.
Many bigwigs were invited to the opening ceremony, including well-known professors in the field of biology, directors of the Biology Committee, and leaders of education departments at all levels.
Those faces who usually appear in the textbooks and are far away from the students gave speeches on the stage one by one, with gentle words and kind faces, and the excitement in the hearts of the contestants in the audience could not be suppressed.
Even the previous world biology competition leaders also appeared on the stage to exchange biology learning methods with students.
In the final opening ceremony, Professor Liu, director of the Biology Committee, delivered a speech. He expounded the significance of biological science to the development of human society, and discussed the characteristics of scientific workers with the students.
Zhou Xiu listened, gradually fascinated, and finally ripples appeared in her calm eyes.
He smiled slightly, looking at a group of young students in the hall, as if he was looking at himself who just started yesterday.
He said: "Scientists are full of curiosity about nature and are interested in exploring the mysteries behind it, and science was born. This process makes scientists possess the following qualities."
"First, they have a pure passion for science. They get unspeakable happiness in the process of exploring nature, which drives them to pursue the truth. This motivation comes from inner satisfaction. They don't seek fame or wealth, but only To explore the mysteries of science."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiu sat upright, her eyes fixed on the front.
"Second, they all have the spirit of perseverance. Looking at the history of science for hundreds of years, although the scientists who can reap the results are dazzling, the vast majority of them are broken.
They are very likely to spend their entire lives in obscurity, fame and fortune, and even endure poverty in their jobs. Therefore, workers in this field are by no means suitors of great wealth... ”
The dormant system suddenly woke up, staring at this scene, it looked at the old professor, and its eyes fell on Zhou Xiu again.
Its eyes darkened, and it sighed silently.
The vast majority of scientific workers are poor and unknown. On the road of pursuing science, endure loneliness and poverty. While looking up at the moon, I had to lower my head to pick up the penny on my feet.
In the stinking ditch, how can we look up to poetry and the distance...
In the future society, such things will not be allowed and will never be tolerated.
Scientists don't suffer poverty, and they are far from obscurity. Behind them is a powerful motherland, and in front of them is the faith-like reverence of countless people.
At the end, Professor Liu said encouragingly: "The competition is not only a shortcut to the college entrance examination, it is a platform for young people to explore science, through which they can cultivate the most basic scientific literacy, understand the fun of science, and develop solutions The ability to solve problems determines the direction of life in the future.
Here, I wish you all the best! "
There was a thunderous applause all around, which lasted for a long time.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiu felt his chest warm up, as if a stream of heat was gushing out.
Xu Qing sat next to Zhou Xiu, couldn't help smiling when she saw this, and asked, "Are you fascinated?"
His eyes fell on Zhou Xiu, and looking along her profile, he saw her dark pupils seemed to be filled with flowing light. Under the soft light of the auditorium, it is extraordinarily crystal clear and bright.
Xu Qing promptly took out a pack of napkins from her coat pocket and handed it to Zhou Xiu.
Zhou Xiu shook her head and blinked, "It's okay, I didn't cry."
Xu Qing turned her head, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, "Well, you didn't cry."
Xu Qing could clearly capture Zhou Xiu's changes, and at a certain moment her blank gaze became firm. He had an almost intuitive guess that Zhou Xiu would go down the path of biology.
Xu Qing's heart suddenly softened, and she was suddenly full of confidence in herself.
He can walk this path with her.
After the opening ceremony, the team members of each province left the auditorium one after another, and everyone gathered in the library to take pictures. Province C is the host province this year. There are ten participants, including five from No. 4 Middle School and two from Yude.
Almost all the members of the province C team are old acquaintances, Du Heng, Jiang Yuanyuan, Yue Shi... There are also a few familiar faces in other provinces, such as the players who once confronted each other on the stage of "Intellectual Confrontation".
At this time, everyone gathered together, like a reunion. After all the teammates took a group photo, under the guidance of the team leader, the team members from each province communicated with each other and exchanged contact information by the way.
Yue Shi turned her head to look at Zhou Xiu, several times.
After a few peeps, her eyes met Zhou Xiu's, and she said to Zhou Xiu, "I hope you will work hard!"
"Also, I'm really sorry..." Yue Shi lowered her head, extremely ashamed.
Zhou Xiu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said "Mmm".
At this time, Jiang Jiajun searched among the hundreds of team members like blind flies. After removing the boys, there were more than a hundred girls left. His eyes were like radar, and his eyes swept over one by one. At this moment, everyone he looks at looks like "Xiu Xiu loves learning".
The top students all look so alike.
Jiang Jiajun took out his mobile phone, ready to send a message to the host to meet up.
In the private message in the live broadcast room, there was a string of mobile phone numbers lying quietly. Jiang Jiajun was overjoyed, and dialed the number according to the number. After dialing the eleven digits, the phone book showed the place where the number belonged, City C, Province C.
It's actually City C
City C has two teams that Jiang Jiajun is particularly familiar with.
Jiang Jiajun's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling. In this competition full of acquaintances, it is very likely that the anchor is someone he has met before but did not recognize
He hung up the phone and looked up at the members of Du Heng's provincial team.
The provincial team in province C is almost all old acquaintances in "Intellectual Confrontation". Jiang Jiajun's eyes fell on the four girls in the provincial team. He walked over and suddenly asked Du Heng: "Who here is better in mathematics, physics and chemistry?"
Du Heng raised his eyelids and said without humility, "I."
Jiang Jiajun had a strong premonition. He searched the WeChat account through his mobile phone number, and then refreshed the anchor to pass it in seconds. He checked the news of the anchor's circle of friends and froze on the spot.
He stared at the group photo in Zhou Xiu's feed, and landed on her familiar face—
"Xiuxiu loves to learn" is actually... the Yude seed player who beat him up, and by the way, in R
The author has something to say:
Jiang Jiajun: Fans to the opposite house, the scene of a large-scale rollover.
Relieved—
Kowtow to the anchor
