Before I knew it, the semester was halfway through and the midterm exam arrived as scheduled.
Because the midterm exam is related to the final total score at the end of the year, which is closely related to the scholarship evaluation, and they have just graduated from high school not long ago, everyone is relatively serious.
Lin Xi is usually very serious in class and is meticulous when it comes to taking notes.
During this period, she and Ji Junxing met in the library to study. Because Ji Junxing had withdrawn from Qiao Lian's entrepreneurial team, he only needed to focus on preparing for the ACM competition. In the previous preliminaries of the Beijing Division, he led the team to win the first place and has already secured a place in the competition next year.
So he had quite a bit of free time, just in time to accompany Lin Xi in preparing for the midterm exam.
Seeing Lin Xi so serious, he couldn't help but remind her: "In fact, you don't have to work as hard as you did in high school for the midterm exam in college."
Lin Xi looked up at him and asked, "What was your ranking in the midterm exam last year?"
Ji Junxing looked at her serious expression and smiled softly, "First."
"So don't talk without any back pain while standing." Lin Xi glared at him.
"Okay, I won't stop you from pursuing progress." Ji Junxing laughed.
The biggest difference between college and high school is that there is no longer a teacher who reads out your scores and rankings in front of the whole class. But even so, everyone is still nervous when checking their grades.
That day, the three people in the dormitory stayed in the dormitory and did not go to the library.
Chu Qianqian was the first one to be found out. She joined the student union as soon as she entered the school, and there were other clubs too, so she was busy with all these things every day.
She took a look at her scores and was quite satisfied, as they were all above 80 points.
So she ran to Xiao Fangyu and looked at her computer screen. When she saw the screen full of 90 points or more, Chu Qianqian said enviously: "Xiaofang, you scored so high."
Xiao Fangyu turned around and said, "If you call me Xiaofang again, I will tear your head off."
Chu Qianqian burst into laughter. Xiao Fangyu was usually a bit introverted and honest. She only showed her powerful side when she heard Chu Qianqian call her Xiaofang.
Ye Ke’s grades are also good, with scores above 85.
Chu Qianqian turned her head to look at Lin Xi's table and asked, "Where is Lin Xi?"
"Single dogs like you, just don't bother with other people."
After Lin Xi and Ji Junxing finished their meal, they saw Chu Qianqian telling her that the midterm exam results were out, and then they returned to the dormitory.
As soon as she entered the door, she distributed the fruits bought by Ji Junxing to everyone and sat down to check her own grades.
Chu Qianqian ate fruit while saying, "Lin Xi, why are you with Ji Shen every day?"
"Go to the library to study." Lin Xi replied.
Chu Qianqian looked like she didn't believe him, and smiled maliciously, "You young men and women, with a burning passion, do you just read books every day?"
She put the pomelo flesh into her mouth and saw Lin Xi had checked her grades. She stood up and walked over, saying, "Anyway, I don't believe it..."
When Chu Qianqian saw the numbers on the screen, she was stunned.
She blinked her eyes and finally went completely crazy. She pointed at the screen and said in disbelief: "Lin Xi, how many subjects did you get full marks in? How can you be so perverted? Don't you want to leave us a way out?"
Chu Qianqian's big reaction aroused the curiosity of the other two.
Xiao Fangyu and Ye Ke came over and lay behind Lin Xi's chair. When they looked at her computer screen, they were also shocked.
The screen is full of scores like 100 and 99, and some low scores are above 95 points.
Ye Ke held back for a moment before saying, "I actually dared to dream of a scholarship without knowing my own limitations."
Xiao Fangyu nodded and said, "Me too."
"Lin Xi, I now truly believe that you are really learning when you are with Ji Shen." Chu Qianqian said in admiration. This score was truly impressive.
Ye Ke said: "Didn't you say that Senior Ji also did very well in the Computer Science Department?"
Chu Qianqian is a know-it-all. She has participated in many club activities and has a wide network of contacts. She is more familiar with the computer department than Lin Xi. So she found out a lot of things about Ji Junxing.
The next day's class was taught by their homeroom teacher Han Wenda.
I guess the teacher saw yesterday's scores and couldn't help but say a few words before class: "Although it is said that you should focus on multi-faceted development when you go to college. But if you can't even handle the basics of learning, no matter how well you develop outside of class, it's like a house without a solid foundation. The wind will blow you down."
Chu Qianqian whispered, "I heard that there are two boys in our class who failed the exam and are playing games in the dormitory every day."
The atmosphere in college is much more relaxed and free than in high school, so that some students fail courses after entering college without the constraints and discipline of high school. Even top universities like Tsinghua University have students who drop out because of failing courses.
So some people failed the first midterm exam, and Han Wenda took it very seriously.
After class, Lin Xi and Chu Qianqian packed up their things, but the other boys in the class had already run away.
Because they walked slowly, the two of them just happened to leave the classroom with Han Wenda.
There were only two girls in the class, so Han Wenda naturally remembered their grades, and Lin Xi also ranked first in the department. Han Wenda smiled and said, "Are you two still adapting to school life?"
Chu Qianqian is outgoing and lively. She told Han Wenda about her work in the student union and the volunteer association she participated in.
Han Wenda nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Lin Xi didn't speak, he smiled and asked, "Lin Xi, what about you?"
"Teacher Han, I only joined the dance club." Lin Xi said a little embarrassedly.
Han Wenda smiled and said, "Don't worry, take your time. You did well in the exam this time, which shows that you have strong self-discipline. You can participate in more extracurricular activities when you have spare time. Choose the ones you like."
In fact, when Chu Qianqian was talking just now, Lin Xi was listening beside her and was not without envy.
She is introverted by nature and not the type to like to show off. The only competition she had participated in before college was an English speech contest, and that was with the encouragement of Ji Junxing.
It seems that I can only be braver when he is by my side.
In the evening, the two of them walked along the campus boulevard, and Lin Xi didn't say a word.
Ji Junxing turned his head and glanced at her. Just as he was about to speak, a few people passing by saw him and greeted him, "Director Ji."
These people looked at Lin Xi, full of curiosity.
However, Ji Junxing said hello to them and left with Lin Xi. Not long after they walked out, the discussion behind them continued.
"Is that Master Ji's girlfriend? She's so pretty."
"Didn't you say Ji Shen doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"Who knows? I think they look alike."
Lin Xi didn't hear the discussion, but she looked at him curiously and asked, "Why do they call you Director Ji?"
Ji Junxing put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly, "I am the office director of the Tsinghua branch of the China Computer Association."
Lin Xi: “…”
After holding it in for a long time, she said sullenly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Is this anything worth talking about?" Ji Junxing looked at her indifferently.
Lin Xi listened to his nonchalant tone, and felt a mouthful of blood choking in her heart. After a while, she whispered, "You two are so powerful."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young man beside her stopped. He was standing under the street light, and his slender figure was stretched out in the light of the street light. His eyes looked particularly deep under the light, and when he looked at Lin Xi, he had a serious look.
"What's wrong?" His voice softened.
Lin Xi bit her lips gently, and her crimson lips became even redder than usual. Ji Junxing looked at her unconscious movements, his heart tightened, his back straightened instantly, and the blood rushed to a certain place.
He couldn't help but turn away.
Fortunately, Lin Xi did not notice his abnormality and said softly, "Today the teacher asked me to participate in more extracurricular activities. Everyone seems to be very busy, either in the student union or in various associations."
She didn't continue talking, and it was obvious that she was distressed.
Ji Junxing smiled easily. What did he think? He looked into her eyes and whispered, "There is nothing to force if you are not interested in it. But when the opportunity comes, remember not to be timid, Lin Xi."
The early winter breeze blew by, and became especially gentle because of the sound of him calling her name.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Chu Qianqian brought a few flyers back to the dormitory.
"You must save me this time." Chu Qianqian shouted helplessly.
Lin Xi looked at the flyer in her hand. It was a flyer calling on everyone to sign up. The title was very sensational, "Gathering geniuses and promoting the style of Tsinghua students."
Xiao Fangyu asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"This is a TV program of the TV station. It cooperates with 12 universities in China, and each school has one program. Eight students will be selected from the students who have registered in the schools. These eight students will participate in the recording of the TV program to determine the final champion. Then the top three contestants can participate in the final."
Chu Qianqian explained the rules again.
Xiao Fangyu was shocked and said, "This kind of competition sounds so cruel."
"Yes, but the program team not only set a bonus for the champion, but also set up charity scholarships based on the contestants' performance. When the time comes, it will be donated to children in mountainous areas. It is very meaningful."
Ye Ke asked, "Is it true that the better the contestant's performance, the higher the scholarship?"
Chu Qianqian nodded: "Yes."
Ye Ke: "Will the school next door participate?"
Chu Qianqian sighed and said, "It's because the neighboring school not only participated, but also heard that many top students signed up. That's why our student union president asked us to come back and mobilize the students. No matter what, we can't be outdone by the neighboring school."
Xiao Fangyu looked at her sympathetically and said helplessly: "I quite like watching this kind of program."
After all, it was really exciting and thrilling when both contestants were answering questions, but when Xiao Fangyu was asked to go on stage alone, her calves trembled just thinking about it.
As for Ye Ke, she was not interested in this either.
Instead, Lin Xi looked at the flyer. She stared at the champion award on the program for a long time.
The champion will go to study in the UK for a month.
She suddenly remembered the option Grandpa Ji once gave her, sending her to study abroad, but she had never even left the country until now.
Seeing that Lin Xi had been staring at the flyer, Chu Qianqian quickly encouraged her, "Lin Xi, you have such good grades, I think you can definitely make it. And I think this is an opportunity for you to practice..."
Chu Qianqian was just about to give a long speech. After all, she knew Lin Xi's personality, she was the introverted and quiet type.
Before she could finish her words, Lin Xi turned to look at her and smiled softly, "Okay. I'll sign up."
When Ji Junxing learned that she had signed up for this competition, he was surprised. This program was widely promoted in the school, and someone even encouraged him to participate yesterday. However, Ji Junxing had no interest in this, and he had to prepare for the ACM competition, which required at least 20 hours of high-intensity training every week.
Once ready to participate in the competition, Lin Xi will naturally prepare seriously.
Because the competition had a question bank, Lin Xi had been looking at the question bank. However, as the registration deadline approached and the competition time approached, she began to feel more stressed.
Even Ji Junxing could see it.
He simply used public resources for personal purposes and took the Computer Association's office to train her.
This is Lin Xi coming to the Computer Association. When she entered the room, several people were there. Seeing Ji Junxing and her, they greeted each other. Ji Junxing looked indifferent and pulled her into a separate office next door.
Several members of the Computer Association had met them on the road before, and some of them didn't believe that Ji Junxing had a girlfriend.
At this time, Ji Junxing brought the person over directly, and the relationship was obvious.
Lin Xi put down her schoolbag and took out the question bank she had printed out from her bag.
Ji Junxing looked at the thick book and raised his eyebrows slightly. Haha, this program crew is really good.
He took it directly and looked through it.
The preliminary round has 100 participants at the same time, and the contestants are eliminated based on the correctness of their answers and time. That is, if all the answers are correct, the one who takes the longest time will be eliminated. If a contestant answers incorrectly, he will be eliminated.
Therefore, both the accuracy and speed of the players are required.
Ji Junxing opened the drawer, took something out and put it on the table.
Lin Xi looked down and asked, "What is this?"
"Buzzer." Ji Junxing said calmly.
Lin Xi: “…” She stared at the buzzer in front of her in amazement. She originally thought that Ji Junxing brought her here to practice to relax, but she didn’t expect it to be real.
After saying that, Ji Junxing took out a stopwatch from the drawer.
Lin Xi couldn't help but say, "How come you are so well prepared?"
"Since you are ready to participate in the competition, you must win first place. Otherwise, where will I put my face?" Ji Junxing sat on the chair. Although his tone was still lazy, his expression was serious.
Lin Xi was just about to complain, what does her participation in the competition have to do with his face.
But when she met his dark eyes, she actually calmed down obediently.
Both of them are serious about their work. They say they are practicing, and they really start practicing as soon as the things are ready.
Ji Junxing reads the questions, and Lin Xi presses the buzzer to start answering. Ji Junxing will calculate the time she presses the buzzer and examine her accuracy.
Fortunately, Lin Xi’s preliminary preparations were sufficient.
Until the 50th question, she didn't get a single one wrong.
It wasn't until the 51st question that she got stuck. She had one answer in mind, but she said another. She was a little confused after she finished speaking.
Lin Xi knocked her head with her hand, "So stupid."
Under the bright light, her fair skin was shrouded in light, as if covered with a thin layer of white glaze, revealing a white and translucent color. Her small and delicate face was filled with annoyance, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her pink lips were pouting, as if she was very dissatisfied with her performance.
Ji Junxing suddenly stood up from his seat.
Lin Xi's palm was still on the side of her head. Just as she was regretting, suddenly a hand gently grabbed the back of her head.
She was gently carried over by this hand.
The boy, who was originally sitting across a table from her, suddenly had his face magnified in front of her eyes. His pair of dark pupils under his thick and long eyelashes were so bright that they were even brighter than the stars twinkling outside the window.
Lin Xi leaned forward and couldn't help but support herself on the table with both hands.
Until the soft touch on her lips that made her tremble appeared again. At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Junxing let her go.
There was a serious look in his dark eyes.
"From now on, if you answer a question wrong again, I will kiss you."
The author has something to say: Master: I finally got a question wrong
Lin Xi: …
In terms of the most openly scoundrel person in history, it must be Master Ji. But Master, you don't even have a name until now, do you think it's good for you to keep kissing people one after another
This competition is based on the show "Genius Knows". I just want to kneel down and worship the great god.
Today, there will be two updates, the second one will be at 19:00. Well, the next chapter is the young master's confession, you can definitely look forward to it, the explosion index is full of stars
