Li Xiaoyu looked at Yue Xin, who was originally full of fighting spirit, and suddenly put down her pen. She leaned over curiously. “What’s wrong? Do you not know how to answer questions?”
Yue Xin nodded. Not only did she not know, but she had no clue at all! It was as if she had a thousand knowledge points in her mind, but she did not know how to solve this question. To put it bluntly, she was not smart enough.
Li Xiaoyu took Yue Xin’s question and looked at it. She immediately began to write the process and handed the answer to Yue Xin. “Take a look and see if you can understand it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll tell you.”
Yue Xin took the question and finished reading it in a short while. “I understand.”
Not long after Li Xiaoyu picked up the pen, she heard Yue Xin say that she understood it. At first, she wondered if Yue Xin was playing with her on purpose, but after thinking about it seriously, this was Yue Xin. She couldn’t be bothered to do such a thing. Hence, she casually asked a question similar to the knowledge point used for the question just now and handed it to Yue Xin. “Do this question.”
Yue Xin took the question and solved the question according to her previous train of thought. After going around two small bends, she indeed solved this question.
Yue Xin looked at the answer and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
She immediately handed the answer to Li Xiaoyu. “Sister Xiaoyu, I’m done!”
Li Xiaoyu took the notebook and looked at it. She praised, “Not bad. You learned very quickly. I’ll give you another question.”
This time, Li Xiaoyu asked a more complicated question. In the end, Yue Xin couldn’t solve it in half an hour according to Li Xiaoyu’s initial solution. This half an hour happened to be Liu Kai’s class. Liu Kai originally saw Yue Xin lowering her head to write something and was about to scold her. However, when she saw that this child was solving a big Olympiad question from five years ago, he immediately shut his mouth.
It wasn’t easy for the child to know how to work hard. As a teacher, he couldn’t dampen her enthusiasm, especially a child like Yue Xin who worked hard intermittently! He had to give her enough support!
Therefore, Liu Kai did not disturb Yue Xin from solving the questions for the entire class.
After class, Liu Kai was very satisfied to see that Yue Xin was still solving the questions. However, he was not a demon. Before he left, he fulfilled his duty as a teacher and pointed out the problems in Yue Xin’s solving process.
Yue Xin thought for a moment and wrote according to Liu Kai’s instructions. A few minutes later, she handed Li Xiaoyu a perfectly wrong answer.
Li Xiaoyu looked at the question that Yue Xin had solved. She couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried. How could she have gotten it wrong so… deeply? She used the most difficult determination and formula to solve the most perfect problem. This was Yue Xin.
Li Xiaoyu recalled Yue Xin’s talent in memory and suddenly realized something. She first explained the correct answer to this question to Yue Xin, then asked a question of the same type. Sure enough, Yue Xin solved it in a short while. Even if the question was changed slightly, as long as the technique and the theorem were the same, Yue Xin could still solve it. However, if it was a
question that was very different, Yue Xin would not be able to solve it.
After Li Xiaoyu found out about this, she didn’t come to a conclusion immediately. Instead, she verified it a few more times and even called Gao Yue over to set questions for Yue Xin together. Finally, she came to a conclusion after school. If she wanted Yue Xin to solve the questions, she had to let her see similar questions!
Li Xiaoyu looked at Yue Xin and sighed heavily. According to Yue Xin’s current situation, it was a little difficult to get an award. Once she encountered a question she had never seen in the examination hall, she would definitely not be able to solve it.
Just as Li Xiaoyu was about to think of other ways to earn money, she suddenly realized that Yue Xin did not know how to solve the questions that she had never seen before. In other words, as long as Yue Xin had come across the questions, she would definitely be able to solve them! Once she had seen enough questions, there was a high chance that she would be able to solve the questions in the competition!
With this thought in mind, Li Xiaoyu handed Yue Xin a book that she had done when she participated in the competition in the past and reminded her, “Yue Xiaoxin, I’ve written the answers to all the questions in this book. If I haven’t written them, write them yourself according to the answers behind the book.
Remember all the questions on this when you get home today. Can you do it?”
Li Xiaoyu had only asked tentatively. After all, she knew Yue Xin’s after-school life very well. She ate, slept, and watched her brothers. It was impossible for her to study at home. It was more like reading novels in bed. Therefore, after asking, she was already prepared to be rejected. “Alright, I’ll remember it. Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu.”
As Yue Xin spoke, she took the exercise book from Li Xiaoyu’s hand with both hands and looked serious.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu, who originally thought that Yue Xin was playing around, felt Yue Xin’s will. It turned out that she was serious.
At this moment, Yue Xin had already seen the thickness of the exercise book. She sighed and said, “Fortunately, it’s not much. After writing it down today, we can still play for about two hours. Sister Xiaoyu, are you still watching the drama today?”
Li Xiaoyu, who was feeling touched by Yue Xin’s seriousness, was speechless..
