Chapter 16

"Is this Xu Qingzhou you?" Xu Shouyun still felt a bit dreamy. Having lived for decades, he hadn't seen anything, but this was really something he hadn't seen.

Xu Qingzhou gnawed on the bun and nodded, knowing they still needed time to accept this fact.

"More than 70 points higher than last time, is this normal?" Wang Xiaping moved her gaze from the report card and looked at Xu Qingzhou.

"Not normal." Xu Qingzhou shook his head, sighed, and continued: "Unless... I am a genius."

"Virtue." Wang Xiaping rolled her eyes, put down the report card, and examined Xu Qingzhou, "Tell me, what's going on? Don't tell me it's because this test paper was simple."

Xu Shouyun also looked at his son seriously, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Seeing the old couple looking solemn, with the posture of a second-hall joint trial, Xu Qingzhou gnawed the bun in his hand in a few mouthfuls, thought for a while, and said:

"Actually, learning has a bottleneck, or rather, it's a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. The accumulation of quantity over the first three years led to a qualitative change some time ago, breaking through that bottleneck, so my grades went up a level."

Wang Xiaping considered this statement acceptable and looked at the report card again.

Read! {

Xu Qingzhou ignored it, played Plants vs. Zombies for a while, then put down his phone and read the math notes he had organized in the library during this period.

Wang Xiaping held the report card, looked at it again and again, and then asked: "Can you maintain these grades?"

Looking at the rice in Guo Ziyang's plate, Ding Jiahui said: "You weren't hit, why is your appetite still so good?"

"What do you think?" Wang Xiaping asked.

Xu Shouyun stared at the report card for a long time and finally reached a conclusion: "The genes have split a bit."

"Math?" Xu Shouyun frowned, "You like physics more, why are you thinking of studying math?"

"Damn, Zhouzi, you really were secretly studying!"

"I want to study math in university. If there are no accidents, I want to choose Jingda." Xu Qingzhou said.

Xu Qingzhou sat down honestly on the sofa.

"Might be a bit difficult." Xu Qingzhou looked troubled.

"Really useful?!"

"I'm turning grief and indignation into appetite." Guo Ziyang pouted.

"So mysterious?" Wang Xiaping felt incredible. Thinking carefully, Xu Qingzhou's changes during this period were really big—sensible, holding a notebook on weekends, running to that library every day.

Accompanied the old couple who were still confused to watch TV, reminded them to rest early, and then got up to go back to his room to read.

"Xu Qingzhou, let me interview you. High school life is so tight, how do you find the energy to learn university knowledge?" Ding Jiahui pinched her chopsticks as an interview microphone.

Living room.

After getting along for this period, he and Ding Jiahui were considered familiar, without the previous restraint.

"This is qualitative change, not deterioration. Can it still drop to the original score line?" Wang Xiaping stared.

"Is this really our son?" Wang Xiaping whispered to Xu Shouyun. The son's changes during this period were too big—specifically, too mature, as if he grew up in an instant. "Speaking vaguely, you just want to say that if you want to learn physics well, you must learn math well, right?" Wang Xiaping said.

Xu Qingzhou gave a thumbs up, praising: "As expected of Mom, the summary is in place."

"Grades have improved, and the target university for the college entrance exam should also change." Xu Shouyun said on the side, "Your previous grades, going to Shuida was stable. If you rush, maybe you can get into Zhejiang University. Now this score, Shuimu and Jingda should be chosen at will."

"Math speaks of logic, physics speaks of causality. In layman's terms, math should be the foundation of physics, because physics is an experimental discipline. If it is science, it must involve the deduction of formal logic, which is math." Xu Qingzhou explained.

"Sit down, let's have a small meeting." He walked out of the kitchen and saw his mom turn off the TV sound and wave her hand.

"Things about scholars are just so magical." Xu Qingzhou chuckled.

Xu Qingzhou sat down and opened his phone.

After the exam, the first two days were just talking about test papers. The whole senior year didn't show any slack, maintaining the atmosphere of the college entrance exam. The relaxation after exams in the freshman and sophomore years was gone forever under the pressure of the college entrance exam.

"It's really something." Wang Xiaping, although scolding, was truly happy in her heart, feeling that so many years of dedication were worth it. The family meeting was over. Xu Shouyun and Wang Xiaping didn't give Xu Qingzhou many suggestions. Long ago, they reached a consensus that their previous experience wasn't suitable for Xu Qingzhou's current life. Many things they might not even know as well as Xu Qingzhou. As long as the general direction wasn't wrong, there would be no problem.

A friend request came in QQ; it was Zhang Yuxin's.

For Xu Qingzhou, it was equivalent to not having a college entrance exam, so he could fully enjoy this last high school life.

"Multitasking." Xu Qingzhou said as if it were true: "For example, when watching a drama, recite a word. When playing a game, split half your mind to look at math problems. Don't stay up late. If it really doesn't work, stay up all night, so it doesn't count as staying up late..."

Wang Xiaping was stunned for a moment, reacted, and took the report card to pat Xu Qingzhou, "Brat, is your skin itchy!"

!.

Parents were appreciating the results. Xu Qingzhou got up to wash the plate clean, wiped it, and put it back in the cabinet.

Guo Ziyang wasn't a person who wallowed in self-pity. Although he would be hit, he was still happy in his heart that his good brother's grades improved.

Xu Qingzhou's life was orderly, except for being paid more attention to usually. Many people were saying that if there were no college entrance exam, high school life would definitely be the most worth remembering.

The only change was that after school in the afternoon, there were two more people eating together: Song Yao and Ding Jiahui.

Xu Shouyun frowned and thought for a while, thinking it made a lot of sense, and nodded: "Old Liu's child, when he took the college entrance exam last year, he really improved by more than 40 points compared to usual."

Guo Ziyang gritted his teeth, Ding Jiahui was greatly shocked.

Xu Qingzhou spread his hands, "Actually, I think the score can improve a lot in the next exam. It's quite difficult to maintain the current score."

Song Yao shook her head helplessly, thinking that these two people were really hopeless, and they even believed this.

After eating, Guo Ziyang went to the newsstand to buy a notebook. Xu Qingzhou stood at the door waiting for him. Beside him, young figures wearing blue and white school uniforms walked by.

On the campus broadcast, the melody of "Hometown" was drifting.

The setting sun in the sky reflected on my face again, reflecting my restless heart again. What place is this? Still so desolate.

That endless journey is so long.
