Chapter 4: Youth at the age of eighteen is the most precious

"This kid is determined to sign up. Even if we don't let him participate, I'm afraid he won't be able to learn other subjects. Anyway, there is only a little over a month left. After the league is over, he will naturally face reality."

Deep down, Wang Qingtao certainly hopes that his students can achieve good results in the league.

His biggest regret was his failure in last year’s competition class.

But he didn't think Xu Yuan alone could change anything.

I just think that instead of letting the other party feel regretful when talking about it many years later, it is better to face the setbacks head-on.

Only then did I agree to sign up.

Many things will not turn back until you hit the wall.

When Li Yan heard Wang Qingtao's words, her emotions calmed down.

"I hope he can figure it out sooner."

These were the only words he wanted to say, and then he stepped aside and walked towards his office.

Because Xu Yuan had distributed the test papers in advance in the morning, Wang Qingtao did not announce the results in class and started explaining the questions from the beginning after class.

There is a reason why Wang Qingtao was selected as the most popular teacher of Guyuan No. 1 High School.

At least it is 100% democratic in this respect.

He often wears a light blue shirt in the summer and you can always see a smile on his face.

The humorous classroom atmosphere makes learning mathematics no longer so boring.

The two classes soon came to an end, and the explanation of the test paper progressed to the last two major questions.

……

"When doing the questions, you must remember the three transformations I talked about: coordinate transformation, simplification and specialization. In addition, the ideas must be clear, the process must be simple, and most importantly, the answer must be accurate."

"If anyone has any questions about this question, please speak up so that we can discuss it together."

After writing the formula for solving the problem on the blackboard, Wang Qingtao threw the chalk on the desk, looked at the students below with a smile and asked again.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze lingered on Xu Yuan's position for a moment.

But at the moment Xu Yuan was in a state of high concentration and did not notice this.

As he gradually regained the feeling of doing the questions, his thinking became more active.

Often after reading the question, the solution to the problem comes to mind.

This makes the progress bar that appears in your sight useless, and there is no need to use it to determine whether the idea is correct.

So much so that later on we started to study different solutions.

Summarize the situations in which various solutions are more useful.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he were asked to take a similar test again now, he is confident that he would get full marks.

In this case, there is naturally no need to listen to the questions.

At this moment, the familiar bell for the end of get out of class sounded on the radio.

Unlike Li Yan, Wang Qingtao did not have the habit of staying in class. He immediately retracted his gaze, folded up the test paper in his hand and said, "We will continue with the remaining question in the next class. If anyone has any questions, come to my office at noon."

But a few girls in the front row suddenly shouted, "Teacher Wang, why don't you start talking now?"

This proposal was also supported by other students.

But Wang Qingtao shook his head and said, "It's not my style to keep the class going."

His signature smile always hung on his lips.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he turned around and walked down the podium in a graceful manner.

After the self-study class at noon, it was finally time for lunch and everyone was visibly enthusiastic.

Maybe it was because he had been concentrating for so long, but Xu Yuan was already extremely hungry. As soon as the bell rang, he dragged Yang Bin outside.

The class monitor sitting on the podium was stunned.

After lunch, Xu Yuan did not go back to class with Yang Bin for lunch break, but stopped at the school newspaper stand.

Carefully read the latest newspapers posted.

For students in county towns, accessing the Internet is a luxury.

In school, newspapers are the easiest way to get information from the outside world.

During the lunch break in the third year of high school, there were only a few people who actually slept on their desks. Most of them were studying quietly.

Xu Yuan made a review plan for himself and spent the entire afternoon on mathematics.

Perhaps the teachers of other subjects had heard about the situation and did not ask about it or criticize it in class.

It saved him a lot of trouble.

-

"How many math problems did you do today? This speed is too scary."

During evening self-study, Yang Bin's attention was completely on Xu Yuan. Seeing that the other party was so brutal as to do the exercises in the math book, he really didn't know how to start to comment on him.

He even felt that his deskmate in front of him was unfamiliar.

If they hadn't contacted each other during the holidays, I would probably have suspected that something had happened at home.

The spirit is stimulated.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan temporarily stopped what he was doing, turned around and said, "Maybe I'm in a better state today."

Xu Yuan also felt helpless when talking about this.

It was just the beginning of the school year and many workbooks had not been distributed yet, so he could only find questions to do from various places.

Yang Bin obviously didn't care about this answer. His eyes were still on Xu Yuan. After a deep look, he said uncertainly, "You may not believe it, but I suddenly have an idea. I feel that you may really get good results in this league."

Perhaps it was because I had never seen Xu Yuan behave like this before, and I somehow came up with this idea.

But as soon as I said it, I felt something was wrong.

Worrying gives Xu Yuan hope now, but the greater the disappointment will be when the league ends.

Xu Yuan did not continue the conversation. Seeing that Yang Bin fell silent again, he lowered his eyes and continued to busy himself. He planned to summarize the types of questions he had solved today while there was still some time before the end of the evening self-study.

The evening self-study session for senior high school students at Guyuan No. 1 High School ends at 10 o'clock, and the key classes start 20 minutes later.

In order to take care of the senior high school students, their dormitories are also arranged on the first floor.

It was the morning when Xu Yuan's mind was in a mess. As soon as he woke up, Yang Bin urged him to go to the classroom for morning self-study, so that his impression of the dormitory was still stuck in his previous memory.

I didn't have the chance to observe until I came back from evening self-study.

It is true that the dormitory is on the first floor, which avoids going up and down stairs, but there is always water accumulation in the corridor.

When traveling, you can only walk along the wall.

Quilts need to be dried frequently.

When Xu Yuan and Yang Bin returned to the dormitory, other people had already arrived.

Since what happened in the morning became a hot topic in the class, the person involved was inevitably brought up again.

Wang Yongjie, who was sitting on the lower bunk near the door, didn't bother to play with his Walkman. He raised his eyes and asked curiously, "Xu Yuan, why did you suddenly think of continuing to participate in the league?"

"Do you really plan to repeat another year?"

As the words fell, other people in the dormitory also looked over.

Xu Yuan took out his washbasin and toothbrush from under the bed, stood up, looked at Wang Yongjie and replied: "If there is a chance, I would like to try it again."

As for repeating?

That's obviously not going to happen.

The youth of eighteen is the most precious, how can it be wasted.

After hearing this answer, Wang Yongjie wanted to continue asking questions, but was blocked by Yang Bin before he could open his mouth.

"Xu Yuan must have his own plans for doing this, why are you worrying about it?"

“Are there any songs by Xiao Qi on the tape?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down next to Wang Yongjie.

According to county regulations, Internet cafes are not allowed to be opened around key high schools.

As the only portable tape player in the dormitory, its popularity can be imagined. There would be three or five people around it every night. Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan shook his head and smiled, then turned to wash up in the sink at the entrance of the dormitory building.
