Everyone hurriedly prepared to take the placement test in early September. The questions in this placement test were relatively difficult, and it was mainly to allow everyone to re-examine their scores in the nine subjects to see if they are really better at liberal arts/science.
Another purpose is to test the learning outcomes of the previous academic year and select some outstanding students in parallel classes to bring them to science and technology classes and competition classes.
Lin Youxi still maintained the academic ability of a genius in his previous life. Even after being busy with various affairs, he still ranked first in the class in this exam.
Mei Fang was addicted to playing games and enjoying high school life during her freshman year. Her academic performance declined and her ranking dropped from 10th to 15th.
Not to mention Xia Yuan, she has already prepared to be transferred to the liberal arts class.
Due to her outstanding performance, Lin Youxi was once again invited to join the competition class. This led to her receiving repeated heart-to-heart talks from the grade director and the competition class teacher. During the communication process, Lin Youxi also received some useful information -
There are about 10 oiers in the competition class, that is, students who are determined to participate in the Olympic Competition in Informatics (NOI). This is also the goal that Mei Fang and Lin Youxi want to achieve in their second year of high school.
If the three of them want to get better opportunities for further study in college, they have to make achievements in high school. Currently, Xia Yuan has become a well-known internet celebrity thanks to the popularity of her songs, and her path to being admitted as a student with music expertise and having her score reduced has been paved very well.
If Mei Fang and Lin Youxi want to get better opportunities under the existing rules and regulations, in addition to working hard on the college entrance examination, they can also strive to get it through the NOI competition.
The Olympic Competition in Informatics (NOI) is one of the most prestigious competitions in high school. Players who win gold medals in the NOI finals will be directly qualified for admission to the top domestic universities, Qinghua University and Imperial University. Even if they win silver and bronze medals, they can be shortlisted for the Strong Foundation Program and be qualified for admission or score reduction in other schools.
However, there are very strict conditions for participating in NOI, and the number of places that each province can select to compete is also limited. Everyone can only obtain the corresponding category qualification by participating in NOIP, the Olympic Informatics League exam.
NOIP is a prerequisite for NOI. There are not many registration restrictions for participating in NOIP, and the preliminary round will start in mid-October. Regarding this competition, Mei Fang actually started preparing at the beginning of the year, but his time was scattered. After the start of the new semester, he began to practice questions systematically with Lin Youxi.
Of course, only after experiencing it will one understand that the questions in the information competition are not the same as what Mei Fang had imagined.
Programming language is just the basis for it. It is a kind of training for discrete thinking. Most of the question types are about using programming language to solve some concepts of logic problems in Mathematical Olympiad.
Fortunately, Mei Fang's math level has always been at the T1 level, so he is relatively confident about the upcoming preliminary rounds.
The final list of class divisions was announced. Except for Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu who were assigned to the new liberal arts class 11 because of their volunteer choices, there were no changes to everyone's original classes, and the division between liberal arts and science was hastily completed.
Over the next month, Xia Yuan began to prepare for their second album with Liu Xiaoyu. Lin Youxi and Mei Fang were checking the marketing and promotion plans and test fixes provided by the C Station team for "Cloud Journey" while busying themselves with various competition questions. In addition, the academic pressure of the second year of high school increased, and everyone's time for hanging out after class gradually decreased, so Mei Fang sat in her seat all day long to do questions.
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi would occasionally come together to chat with him. Occasionally, they would come alone, but not often. Most of the time, it was when the other one didn't have time to spare.
In addition, a new regular visitor would appear outside Mei Fang's window from time to time.
A freshman girl named Junana from the first year of high school.
Zhu Nanai is the high school fan girl mentioned by Mei Fang before. She was the first fan to ask Mei Fang for an autograph. In a sense, she is Mei Fang's sole promoter. After recognizing Mei Fang, she asked him for an autograph on the spot.
After that, she and the girls in her class often appeared outside Mei Fang's classroom window during breaks. They usually didn't take the initiative to disturb Mei Fang, but just watched and talked to Mei Fang from a distance. Sometimes when Mei Fang looked up and saw them, they would shyly scatter away.
Among the fangirls, only Junanai would take the initiative to approach Meifang, and her attack was quite fierce.
Previously, she wanted to call Mei Fang "Fang Bao" directly, but was ruthlessly taught a lesson by Mei Fang, so now she calls him "senior".
"Senior, why are you reading again today?"
"Senior, the weather is so nice, would you like to come out and bask in the sun?"
"Senior, I brought you milk tea—ah, you don't want to drink it? If not, I'll drink it myself. Actually, I'm just being polite, hehe."
Mei Fang never accepts anything from Zhu Nanai, and reminds Zhu Nanai in various ways, both explicitly and implicitly, that she has someone she likes, but Zhu Nanai says that she is just a fan of her senior and does not have any improper thoughts about him.
Because Zhu Nana didn't disturb him very often, and most of the time she would just stop when necessary, Mei Fang couldn't use this as an excuse to drive her away. After all, the corridor outside the classroom was not opened by him.
However, the appearance of Junana also made Mei Fang realize a problem.
Now Yuanyuan and Youxi are not in the same class. Youxi is fine alone, but Yuanyuan doesn't have Youxi to help her. Liu Xiaoyu's personality is even weaker than Yuanyuan's.
They are now in a new class, and they don’t know if they will be pursued by boys in the class, or by junior students…
Should I also go to their place to make my presence felt
So after making up his mind, Mei Fang started to visit Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi's classes one after another in order to avoid wearing out Zhu Nana's patience and at the same time to increase his own presence.
"Squad leader, someone is looking for you!"
"Class monitor, the boys from Class 3 are looking for you!"
"Squad leader, Fang Bao is looking for you!"
"Squad leader, your Ah Fang is here!"
Everyone's enthusiasm for teasing seemed to be even higher than when Mei Fang and Lin Youxi met. Lin Youxi herself did not feel ashamed, and her expression was very calm when she walked out of the classroom to see Mei Fang.
"How come you have time to see me today?"
"Um... It's only right to reciprocate. I can't always wait for you to come."
"Did you go to Yuanyuan before you came to me?"
Mei Fang was about to answer no, but suddenly noticed Lin Youxi staring at him. He immediately stuck out his tongue at her in disgust, "Yuanyuan's class is on your floor. I passed by you first so I naturally talked to you first. How could I possibly go to Yuanyuan first?"
"After all, you are a Mei dog, you can do anything."
"Why do you have to learn something else than Yue Xinyi and scold me? I will cry."
"Yue Xinyi calling you Mei Gou is indeed an insult to you, but we are childhood sweethearts. I am definitely not insulting you by calling you that."
Lin Youxi took advantage of a student passing by and no one noticed, and suddenly reached out and slid Mei Fang's chin, as if teasing him, and made a licking sound at the same time. After being teased by Lin Youxi, Mei Fang began to complain:
"Ah... you really treat me like a dog!"
"Then don't you like it?" Lin Youxi put his hands behind his back and tilted his head, looking at Mei Fang with a smile on his face. Mei Fang's heartbeat index rose sharply.
"At least... don't do this in public."
"Okay, Wang-chan."
Lin Youxi suddenly reached out and patted Mei Fang's butt and pushed him, "Hurry up and go upstairs to say hello to Yuanyuan, otherwise you will have to go to class if you don't have enough time."
Xia Yuan's new class seat was right next to the window with Liu Xiaoyu. When Mei Fang quickly went upstairs to the third floor to find Xia Yuan to meet her, she happened to see the two of them reading a letter.
Pink letter paper, what else could it be but a love letter!
When Mei Fang knocked on the window, Xia Yuan and Liu Xiaoyu were so scared that they quickly stuffed the love letters under the table, but when they saw that the person coming was Mei Fang, Xia Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Fang, please don't scare people..."
Mei Fang continued to knock on the window towards Xia Yuan, "Can you let me see what's hidden there?"
"Why should I show you..."
"I am your childhood sweetheart. Anyone who wants to pursue you must first pass me, right?"
Xia Yuan didn't understand what was going on for a while, but after listening to Mei Fang's explanation, he immediately understood the key point:
"Oh, you are jealous haha..."
Xia Yuan reached out and gently touched Mei Fang's head, looking very intimate, as if he might kiss her at any time.
"No, it's not a love letter from someone else! Everyone knows that you, my childhood sweetheart, are here, so they will definitely not pass your test and will not send me a love letter."
Xia Yuan had a look of wanting to cry but not being able to. "At least the sophomores and juniors don't know about this. The freshmen don't know about this. As for this love letter—"
"Actually, it was given to Liu Xiaoyu."
Liu Xiaoyu, who was standing by, kept blushing and didn't dare to say anything. She seemed very embarrassed that Mei Fang knew about this.
