Chapter 92 Qi Yue's Doubts
Each gift carried the care and blessings of her classmates, filling her heart with joy and emotion.
Jiang Songchu couldn't help but smile happily. She thanked everyone loudly, "Thank you all for your kindness, I'm really happy! But this is a one-time thing, okay? You're not allowed to give me any more delicious food in the future, or I'll really gain weight!!!"
Upon hearing her accusation, the students burst into laughter, filling the classroom with a joyful and warm atmosphere.
It wasn't until Teacher Liang entered the classroom that everyone gradually quieted down and the usual order was restored.
Teacher Liang stood on the podium, cleared his throat, and announced: "Starting today, the evening self-study sessions on Sundays and Wednesdays will be used as the time for the competition training class."
"Students who have registered should go to their respective classrooms for class on time, while other students should stay in their classrooms for evening self-study as usual."
Jiang Songchu and Liu Chaoyang smiled at each other, and both of them signed up for the math competition class.
Although only Jiang Songchu got a perfect score in the midterm exam, Liu Chaoyang's score was also quite good, just three points away from a perfect score.
He made a small mistake when answering the last big question, but this only strengthened his resolve to join the competition class.
When the two entered the classroom, they found that many students were already sitting there. To their surprise, they discovered that there were not only first-year high school students, but also second- and third-year high school students.
This is the unique feature of the Tianrong Competition: it breaks down grade barriers, giving all high school students the opportunity to participate in this fierce competition.
The teacher in the competition class was none other than Teacher Yao, who was known as "Devil Yao".
After he entered the classroom, he first glared at Jiang Songchu, then quickly looked away.
His eyes held both helplessness and admiration, after all, this was the first time he had contradicted himself—he had doubted Jiang Songchu's abilities, but now it seemed that he had misjudged her.
Jiang Songchu touched his nose, naturally understanding why Teacher Yao was acting this way.
"Today, first-year high school students also came to participate in the training course."
Teacher Yao began by saying, "In competitions, age doesn't matter; it's all about your ability."
"It's not necessarily true that seniors are better than freshmen, so everyone still needs to focus on their studies. Now let's look at this question together."
Teacher Yao first gave a few opening remarks before beginning the formal lesson.
His voice was clear and strong, and he explained each step in great detail.
As Teacher Yao's explanation deepened, Jiang Songchu's eyes brightened, as if she were deeply attracted by this brand-new world of math olympiad.
Jiang Songchu was encountering the Olympiad math for the first time, but he already discovered that it was vastly different from ordinary math subjects.
Some problems could be solved in three minutes using Olympiad math methods, which surprised and excited her.
She was so engrossed in her studies in the competition class that she completely forgot about the passage of time, as if the whole world consisted only of her and those amazing math problems.
Teacher Yao was secretly pleased to see Jiang Songchu so focused.
He spoke in greater detail and depth, as if he wanted to impart all his knowledge and experience to her.
Finally, only when urged by the ringing of the bell did Teacher Yao have to stop and assign math olympiad homework to everyone.
Jiang Songchu held the homework book, her heart filled with a desire for challenge.
As the bell rang, Jiang Songchu ended a busy day of studying and began her journey back to her dormitory.
A peaceful and serene atmosphere permeated the campus at night.
In autumn and winter, the daytime temperature in Nanlin City is still above 20 degrees Celsius, while the nights are relatively cool.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying a hint of coolness, and the leaves rustled as if whispering.
She crossed the square in front of the teaching building and walked briskly towards the dormitory building.
In front of the dormitory building, a few streetlights cast a soft glow, adding a touch of warmth to the night.
As soon as Jiang Songchu reached the dormitory building, he saw a figure standing at the entrance in the distance, which appeared somewhat blurry in the dim light.
A question arose in her mind. At this time, everyone was busy washing up and getting ready to rest. Who was this person at the door?
She quickened her pace and, upon closer inspection, discovered it was Qi Yue, whom she hadn't seen in a long time.
Qi Yue wore a simple yet refreshing white T-shirt with a small cartoon dog print, paired with comfortable and close-fitting jeans, looking casual and relaxed.
Her hair was casually tied into a low ponytail, with a few stray strands falling casually beside her cheeks. A gentle breeze blew by, causing them to sway gently, adding to her soft and carefree charm.
Perhaps because her father was hospitalized, Qi Yue's face had changed from her original chubby baby face to be extremely thin now.
The faint dark circles around her eyes revealed her recent unspeakable fatigue, but her bright eyes sparkled with anticipation.
When Jiang Songchu appeared at the corner of the dormitory building, Qi Yue's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
She hurried forward, her voice trembling with barely concealed excitement: "Songchu, you're finally back! I've missed you so much these past few days!"
Jiang Songchu also smiled brightly, her eyes full of surprise and concern.
She looked Qi Yue up and down carefully, and asked curiously, "Qi Yue? Didn't you take leave to go home and take care of your father? Why are you suddenly here?"
Qi Yue explained with a smile, "I came back during evening self-study tonight, but I missed the chance to meet you because I was going to find the teacher to report back from my leave."
"Later I heard that you went to attend a competition class, so I didn't bother you."
Jiang Songchu understood, and then asked, "Is your father feeling better? I've been very worried about you."
Qi Yue gave her a grateful look, then joked, "I'm really much better now, all thanks to your concern. I've been texting you to let you know I'm safe, but did you think I was just kidding?"
The two smiled at each other, their figures, one in the light and the other in the shadows, appearing youthful and beautiful, adding a touch of warmth to their sincere friendship.
They walked hand in hand into the dormitory building. The corridor lights were brighter, and several artistic murals hung on the walls, adding a unique charm.
However, after taking only a few steps, a hint of doubt flashed in Qi Yue's eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she stopped and turned to Jiang Songchu, asking, "Songchu, how did you know I was in the hospital? I don't remember telling you."
Jiang Songchu felt a pang of anxiety, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took a deep breath and explained with her prepared words: "When I called you that day, I felt that your tone was a little off, and I was worried that something might have happened to you."
"So I asked the class monitor for your home address and searched all the way from the school."
"I ran into a kind person on the street who knew you and told me you went to the hospital, that's how I found you."
