April 3rd.
Thursday.
The exam time is 8:00 in the morning.
I don’t have to attend morning self-study, so I can go a little later.
As Jiang Ning observed yesterday, it is sunny today and the sky is blue.
Riding a mountain bike on the river dam, accompanied by the fragrance of green grass and wild flowers, my mood became clearer.
Xue Yuantong held a corn cob, sat in the back seat of the car, and took small bites.
Jiang Ning's car was extremely stable and she didn't feel any bumps at all. When Xue Yuantong was in junior high school, she heard people say that trains were the most stable vehicles in the world. Even people who usually got carsick would never feel carsick when riding a train.
Xue Yuantong had never ridden a train before, so she didn't know how stable it was, but in her opinion, it was definitely not more stable than Jiang Ning's mountain bike.
The corn is very sweet. If she were at home, she would definitely eat it in big bites and compete with Jiang Ning to see who can eat faster.
She wanted to take big bites now. Anyway, Jiang Ning's car was stable and she wouldn't choke due to the bumps.
But now on the river dam, you can often see people getting up early to exercise on the road, middle-aged uncles, grandfathers, and old ladies, looking full of energy with the rising sun.
Xue Yuantong was in a very good mood. She sometimes liked watching the smell of fireworks.
Passing by an intersection, Xue Yuantong saw an elderly couple at the foot of the river, supporting each other intimately and climbing up the dam together.
Seeing this scene, Xue Yuantong suddenly felt emotional and felt that it was really loving.
She put down the corn cob, tugged at the corner of Jiang Ning's clothes, and said gently:
"Jiang Ning, when we get old, we can be like them, okay?"
"When you are old, you will definitely not be able to walk. I will support you then." Xue Yuantong volunteered.
She fantasized that when she was old and Jiang Ning could no longer walk, wouldn't she be able to bully Jiang Ning at will
But she is not the kind of person who bullies the weak. She would not bully Jiang Ning like he bullied her last night.
Jiang Ning looked at the dam and said, "Okay."
"It's just that you may not have noticed. The last time we went to school, we ran into this old man. The old lady with him was not the one now."
Xue Yuantong's face was dumbfounded.
…
While Xue Yuantong was thinking about morality, Jiang Ning arrived at No. 4 Middle School by bike.
Class 8 was much emptier than usual, with white test number sheets posted on the desks.
Most of the students in the classroom are strangers.
The most eye-catching seats were in the last row, where Shan Kaiquan and Wang Longlong were sitting opposite each other, playing chess.
On the side, Ma Shicheng was concentrating on playing games.
Hu Jun and Guo Kunnan watched the two people play chess.
The game of chess ended with Wang Longlong almost losing.
Shan Kaiquan's face was full of smiles: "Longlong, your skills are pretty good. If you practice more in the future, you will have a bright future."
He gave Wang Longlong some more instructions and felt even better. During this period, Shan Kaiquan took time out to challenge almost half of the students in the class in his spare time.
He had never lost a game so far. At this moment, he saw Jiang Ning coming in from the door at the back of the classroom. Shan Kaiquan's face changed. He had achieved a great victory in chess, which cultivated his absolute self-confidence.
So Shan Kaiquan invited: "Jiang Ning, do you want to play a game of chess?"
After these words were spoken, Wang Longlong, Guo Kunnan and others around looked over with interest.
Although Jiang Ning is now in the front row, in the eyes of the students in the back row, Jiang Ning still belongs to them.
This view is strange, similar to a sense of identity.
For example, Miao Zhe stayed in the back row, but he couldn't play with everyone, wasn't recognized by everyone, and no one looked for him on weekdays, so he was all alone.
Jiang Ning scanned the clock with his spiritual sense. There were still fifteen minutes before the exam, so he immediately went to Class 1 with Xue Yuantong.
So I rejected it: "Not today, let's play next time."
Shan Kaiquan felt a little regretful. He was still thinking about defeating Jiang Ning today to show off his prestige.
However, Shan Kaiquan thought about it and felt that it would be a good idea not to play chess now. Time was already tight, and Bai Yuxia was not around. Even if he defeated Jiang Ning, Bai Yuxia would not see it, so there was no point in winning the game.
Wang Longlong finished playing chess, slapped his head, and said in surprise:
"Brother Ma, we forgot to go to Class 1 to play games!"
Before every exam, they would always go to desecrate Class 1's examination room. However, today, while playing chess with Shan Kaiquan, they actually forgot about it.
Wang Longlong felt very uncomfortable, and as time was running out, it was too late.
Ma Shicheng said, "Let's go in the afternoon."
After listening to this, Shan Kaiquan came up with a bold idea:
"Brother Ma, can you take me with you this afternoon?"
He had never been to Class 1, and he wanted to broaden his horizons by following Ma Shicheng and the others.
"Okay, just go if you want to." Ma Shicheng felt that there was nothing worth bringing.
Shan Kaiquan suggested: "How about this, let's go to Class 1 to play chess this afternoon, what do you think?"
He wanted to go to Class 1 to show off, and it would be best if he could find two students from Class 1 to play chess with.
In full view of the public, he defeated the students from Class 1.
How cool!
In fact, Shan Kaiquan wanted to go to Class 2 to take a look, because Bai Yuxia was in examination room No. 2, but he had not thought it through and did not expect this.
It doesn’t matter, I’ll go to perform with Class 2 tomorrow.
…
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong went to Class 1 and occupied the first two seats.
Seat number three is Du Chuan. He looks at Jiang Ning. This time, he will be the second!
At the end of the classroom, in the last few seats, Chen Qian sat there obediently. He also looked at Jiang Ning. This time, he would lift the ban and go completely crazy!
The first subject of the exam is Chinese.
Chen Qian just received the test paper and took a quick glance at it. Then he looked around and muttered:
"This is too easy, there is absolutely no difficulty at all!"
The classmates around him cast their eyes on him, but there was something strange in their looks. This is a Chinese test, brother. Can you assess the difficulty level so quickly after getting the test paper
However, Chen Qian ignored it. He enjoyed everyone's gaze and felt extremely happy.
'Look, look as much as you can, I swear, this is the last time you look back at me!'
'Because next time, you will only see my back!'
The exam officially begins.
Examination Room No. 1 is the best examination room. Students are concentrating on doing their questions, and the tips of their pens rubbing against the paper make a rustling sound.
Jiang Ning was too lazy to think of the topic himself, so he just used his spiritual sense to scan wherever Xue Yuantong wrote.
Anyway, it’s just an ordinary monthly exam, it’s not important, just do it casually.
Time passed quickly, and only the last half hour was left.
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong raised their hands at the same time and handed in their papers together.
The invigilator knew their grades and knew that they had often handed in their papers early in previous exams, so he didn't say anything and just nodded in approval.
Jiang Ning picked up the badminton bag hanging next to the desk and left the examination room.
Yesterday, after Xue Yuantong asked about the weather conditions, she made an agreement with him that after the exams were finished today, they would go downstairs to play badminton to kill time. She wanted to teach Jiang Ning a lesson.
There were not many students in the open space downstairs. The first-year high school students were taking exams and it was very quiet.
In order not to disturb the students taking the exam, they deliberately walked a little further away.
Gao Heshuai stood in the corridor at the entrance of the examination room with a gloomy face.
He said to the teacher next to him, "Brother Qiang," "I give up. The thieves in this school are simply lawless!"
Gao Heshuai and 'Brother Qiang' Qian Baoqiang are known as the two heroes of the top four. Both are known for their strictness and they usually have a very good relationship.
Qian Baoqiang is slightly plump, has a round face, wears round-frame glasses, and has a kind look. Just from his appearance, you would never imagine that he is a strict teacher.
Qian Baoqiang was puzzled: "What's wrong, Marshal? Why are you so angry?"
Gao Heshuai angrily said: "All my Red Bulls were stolen!"
He was still in Shift 8 yesterday, and he claimed that the person who stole his Red Bull could be found with fingerprints on the box.
As a result, when he came to the office today and wanted to get a can of Red Bull, he found that even the box was gone!
Gao Heshuai was so furious at the time that he almost went crazy.
He is a teacher! How could a teacher hired by the principal of No. 4 Middle School be robbed
Qian Baoqiang also looked unhappy after hearing this. He said:
"Please ask the principal to install a camera in the office."
Gao Heshuai shook the fat on his face and said, "Not only do I want to install a camera, I also want to install a pinhole camera!"
He vowed to catch the thief.
Jiang Ning heard everything the two said, but he didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he passed the racket to Xue Yuantong.
Xue Yuantong just held the racket in her hand, and her body suddenly paused. She returned the racket to Jiang Ning:
"Please save it for me, I'll go over there."
She pointed to the public restroom.
"Did you drink too much water?" Jiang Ning asked.
"Well... I'll be back soon." Xue Yuantong trotted away.
Soon, after solving his personal problem, Xue Yuantong trotted back.
She was quite relaxed, running when she needed to, without any pretense. Jiang Ning remembered that, in his impression, Bai Yuxia and the others would never run in order to maintain their appearance, at most they would just walk a little faster.
The two started playing ball, and half an hour passed quickly.
After the Chinese language test, the students came out of the classroom and Jiang Ning was still playing basketball with Xue Yuantong.
In order to enjoy the fight to the fullest, he gave Xue Yuantong a meatball during the fight, which made Xue Yuantong full of energy, and he swung the racket with great power.
This pair of people attracted many students to watch, such as Bai Yuxia who came out of Examination Room No. 2.
After washing her hands, she stood in the corridor with Yang Sheng to relax and naturally noticed this scene.
They watched Jiang Ning play badminton.
Two girls with outstanding looks standing together naturally become a beautiful sight.
Many boys secretly looked at them. No matter what age group the boys were in, girls of fifteen or sixteen years old always attracted people's attention.
The boys from other classes only dared to look secretly, but the boys from Class 8 looked openly.
After Dong Qingfeng spotted the two girls, he walked over to them generously in front of all the boys in his class. His steps were steady and there was contempt in his eyes.
He was disdainful in his heart: "You guys only dare to look at me secretly, look at me, Dong Qingfeng, and go up to chat directly."
There's nothing we can do about it, after all, people are different.
'What a bunch of wimps.'
"I'm so jealous of you." Dong Qingfeng felt that if he could talk to a pretty girl, it would undoubtedly show his status and it would be very prestigious.
Dong Qingfeng came to the two girls and greeted them openly:
"Bai Yuxia, Yang Sheng, how did you do in the exam?"
Facing greetings from classmates, Bai Yuxia would naturally not be too cold, because she is not an ice cube.
Dong Qingfeng was quite popular in the class. He used to help the girls, such as taking out the trash for Jiang Yanan, which made the girls have a good impression of him.
"It's okay, only the composition is a little difficult." Bai Yuxia said.
"Indeed, I feel that the overall difficulty of this test paper is not high, except that the composition is prone to going off topic, but I think I did not go off topic." Dong Qingfeng felt the same way.
As he spoke, he glanced at the reactions of the boys around him and felt secretly happy.
Bai Yuxia said: "The difference in Chinese language scores this time should be mainly in the composition."
When she thought of the composition, she couldn't help but be speechless: "I don't know if Wang Longlong will get the highest score this time."
Dong Qingfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "That should be it."
Since the first monthly exam in the first year of high school, Wang Longlong has always occupied the first place in composition. After all these exams, he is still the first.
If it weren't for the occasional mistakes in other question types in the Chinese test, he would definitely have been first in Chinese.
This may break the curse of Xue Yuantong being the first in all subjects.
As the two talked, Yang Sheng would chat a few words from time to time, mainly because Dong Qingfeng's attitude was very good, neither humble nor arrogant.
Chen Qian went downstairs to find Dong Qingfeng. They had a good relationship. Although Dong Qingfeng's grades were not as good as his, the difference was not too big. After all, Dong Qingfeng was the candidate who could take the exam in the front examination room.
As soon as Dong Qingfeng saw Chen Qian, he immediately greeted him. In his opinion, Chen Qian was a person who relied on perseverance to improve step by step and was worthy of his admiration.
Chen Qian said a few words and looked at Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong who were playing badminton in the open space in front of them.
Dong Qingfeng noticed his gaze and asked, "Are you in the same examination room?"
"Yes, they handed in their papers thirty minutes early." Chen Qian said truthfully.
Yang Sheng said: "Jiang Ning is quite good at badminton."
She is good at various sports and has good vision.
After hearing this, Chen Qian smiled warmly and confidently:
"Badminton is not a difficult sport, it's very simple."
"Hmm?" Yang Sheng, "Do you play badminton often?"
"I don't play very often, but I can see the patterns very clearly. I can say I know them like the back of my hand."
Seeing Yang Sheng's strange look, Chen Qian explained:
"What I'm talking about is not the rules of playing, but the rules of how to win."
After raising this topic, it was Chen Qian's turn to shine.
Chen Qian straightened his collar and said in his mind:
'Now it's Chen Qian time!'
"Isn't the most important thing about badminton the receiving part? To be honest, I can accurately predict where the badminton will land."
"I am very good at math and physics. Don't underestimate this. It is very important for badminton."
Chen Qian put his hands behind his back and explained calmly.
Bai Yuxia and Yang Sheng were very surprised.
Dong Qingfeng vaguely grasped that Chen Qian was talking about something important, and he listened attentively.
"The badminton sports model is a commonly used projectile model. Do you know what a parabola is?"
Chen Qian drew an arc with his hand like a lecturer.
"Then, I will first observe the speed and angle of the badminton, because it is affected by external forces, so I have to do a screening first."
Chen Qian took a few steps forward and opened his arms:
“I’m feeling the speed of the wind.”
He closed his eyes, his expression intoxicated: "The wind is controlling me, and I am controlling the wind."
Bai Yuxia and the other two were stunned.
“Once I know the wind speed, I will use aerodynamics to calculate, and then, I can determine where the shuttlecock will land.”
Chen Qian smiled calmly: "This is very simple for me."
After hearing this, Yang Sheng asked, "And then?"
Chen Qian's gaze moved to her face, and he felt a little disgusted. There was no scent of knowledge on this girl.
"After that, I determined the landing point, and I could naturally catch the ball 100% of the time."
“So my playing style is invincible.”
Yang Sheng just thought it was ridiculous: "Is it true? I don't believe it."
Bai Yuxia also has the same expression.
Even Dong Qingfeng, who was standing by, found it incredible.
This was beyond their understanding. Is there such a skill in playing badminton
Chen Qian felt that he was being underestimated.
To prove it, he said, "Okay, I'll play two games now and verify it for you."
Chen Qian hurried towards Jiang Ning, feeling the speed of the wind as he walked.
When Jiang Ning saw a classmate coming over, he raised his hand and easily caught the flying badminton: "What's the matter?"
Chen Qian had a good attitude. He asked, "My hands are itching. Can you let me play two games?"
"Okay, go ahead and play." Jiang Ning was not a stingy person, he handed the racket to Chen Qian.
Chen Qian waved his racket and suddenly said:
"Jiang Ning, you have good skills, let's fight."
He felt that Xue Yuantong was too weak and it would be hard to convince people if he defeated her, so he took the initiative to challenge difficult goals.
"Okay." Jiang Ning took Xue Yuantong's racket.
From a distance, the two are about to start a badminton match.
Bai Yuxia and the others went to watch the battle nearby. Xue Yuantong stood in a row with them and waved his hand:
"Jiang Ning, come on!"
After hearing this, Chen Qian didn't care. Today he wanted to let people see what "science" was.
He held the racket as if he was holding the whole world.
Jiang Ning threw up a badminton and swung the racket. "Bang!" The badminton flew out at high speed.
Chen Qian hadn't calculated the angle yet, and the ball had already come over before he even had time to move his racket.
Dong Qingfeng shouted: "What are you doing?"
Chen Qian: "Don't worry."
This time it was his turn to serve. Chen Qian calculated the angle and served the ball.
Jiang Ning shot another ball over there, and Chen Qian received it alone.
There was some sweat on his forehead.
They played several balls like this in a row, but Chen Qian didn't receive the ball except for serving.
This is wrong, this is not scientific!
Chen Qian was unwilling to accept this.
Yang Sheng, who was watching, complained: "There's a lot of theoretical knowledge, but it's hard to know when it comes to playing."
