Genius Girlfriend

Lin Zhixia dragged a chair and placed it beside Lin Zeqiu. She took a piece of white paper with her left hand and picked up a ballpoint pen with her right hand. She quickly wrote down the problem-solving process, and said as she wrote: "Brother, you can first make an auxiliary line, you can get two similar triangles, then make a perpendicular line, and solve an equation based on the vertical radius theorem of a circle... …"

Lin Zeqiu's closed mind was suddenly opened. He held Lin Zhixia's hand and didn't let her write further. He said, "I figured it out."

Lin Zhixia asked again: "What about the penultimate question, brother, will you do it now?"

No.

Lin Zeqiu only understood the penultimate question. As for the penultimate question, it is still beyond his ability.

But his sister asked him in a hopeful tone, will she do the last question now?

Lin Zeqiu was extremely dazed, and his sanity was a little dazed. He turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia stared at him with scorching eyes. It can be seen that she is very concerned about her brother's learning status. She also put the little penguin plush toy on her lap. When she was not writing, she would hold the little penguin in both hands and let the plush toy take off and land.

Too naive.

Her entertainment is really naive.

Even if Lin Zhixia is a conscientious mathematics teacher, Lin Zeqiu still finds it difficult to accept the fact that "I need her guidance". He is almost fifteen years old, why should a little girl who can't do without the little penguin plush toy teach him how to solve the final question?

He took a deep breath and lied: "I know how to do the last question. Go back to your room and take a nap."

"Really?" Lin Zhixia said, "Brother writes down the answering process, and when you finish writing, I will go back to sleep."

My brother suddenly asked her: "Can you throw away your little penguin?"

Lin Zhixia's curly black eyelashes trembled lightly: "Why?"

The brother said: "Because..." He held back for a long time before squeezing out: "I hate penguins."

Lin Zhixia hugged the little penguin tightly. Her heart was full of confusion: "Why do you hate penguins? Have you been to Antarctica? If you have been to Antarctica and have been bitten by penguins, I can believe you."

The brother stroked his hair irritably. The heavy housework exercised his physical fitness and allowed his arms to show smooth lines. He should be an active and healthy teenager, but he actually claimed to say: "I have had many nightmares, do you understand?"

Lin Zhixia hid the little penguin behind her back: "Brother, have you had many nightmares related to penguins? Could you be a fish in the Antarctic ocean in your last life..."

My brother kept silent.

Lin Zhixia ran back to the room and hid her little penguin in the quilt. She said to the plush toy: "I'm sorry, we can only get along secretly in the future, and I will try not to let my brother see you."

When she was talking to the little penguin, Lin Zeqiu happened to be standing at the door.

Lin Zeqiu heard what his sister said and wanted to hit the wall on the spot. He just couldn't accept his younger sister's tutoring for his homework, he was not a coward who was afraid of plush toys!

How could Lin Zeqiu's face survive if this kind of thing spread to the school?

In their third (fourth) class, his light had been concealed by Lin Zhixia. People often interview him and ask him about Lin Zhixia's learning methods. He always replied rudely: Don't bother me, I don't know.

His classmates suddenly realized: Yes, if you knew, you would have been admitted to the competition class.

Scenes like this are staged almost every week.

Lin Zeqiu sorted out the clutter and settled down. He stepped forward and knocked on Lin Zhixia's door. Lin Zhixia turned to see him, and immediately grabbed the quilt to cover the little penguin tightly, and pulled out the pillow and flipped it on the quilt.

Lin Zeqiu tasted the bitter taste of being misunderstood. He really couldn't solve the last question, and he couldn't ask Lin Zhixia for help again. He wants to walk around the house, relax, adjust his state, and then go back to work on the problem.

He urged Lin Zhixia: "What are you still rubbing with? Hurry up and take a nap."

Lin Zhixia got into the quilt: "Brother, if you feel tired, you can also rest. This morning, my mother helped us dry the quilt, and the quilt was warm and warm. It was really comfortable to sleep on the bed at this time, brother. Go back to your room and try it."

In fact, the person drying the quilt is not his mother, but Lin Zeqiu.

At 7 o'clock this morning, Lin Zhixia was still brushing her teeth and washing her face in the bathroom. The sun outside was pure and brilliant. Lin Zeqiu set up the iron frame on the balcony, wrung out a clean wet towel, and carefully wiped the beam of the iron frame.

The balcony occupies a narrow area and the iron frame is not long enough. You can only hang two quilts at a time. Lin Zeqiu thought for a while, first carried Lin Zhixia's quilt, and then carried the quilt in his parents' bedroom. He gave them the priority of drying the quilt.

In addition to drying the quilt, there are many other things, but he can't remember. He does not have Lin Zhixia's memory.

Lin Zhixia is very harassing and pretending to be obedient. She has a sweet mouth and can't be wronged. She looks pretty and cute, like a little angel who has landed on earth. It is inevitable that my mother prefers her more.

Lin Zeqiu thought he could understand.

He glanced at the wall clock and said to Lin Zhixia: "Hey, you can sleep for forty minutes. When it's time, I will wake you up."

"Yeah, thank you brother!" Lin Zhixia replied.

Lin Zeqiu smoothly closed the door of his sister's room. He went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, flicked the strawberry yogurt with his fingertips, and took out a box of yellow peach yogurt. He lifted the lid and my mother was standing in the hallway to change shoes. He asked: "Mom, are you going out?"

His mother smiled and told him: "I went to the vegetable market to buy live shrimp. I bought a few more catties. I adjusted the fillings and made shrimp dumplings. Qiuqiu, what do you want to eat at night? Mom bought them by the way."

Lin Zeqiu was stunned for a moment before saying, "I want to eat apples."

"What about apples?" Mom held the doorknob, "Stir-fry beef with green peppers, you always love this dish."

Lin Zeqiu casually said: "Forget it, the two thousand yuan is a scholarship earned by Lin Zhixia, buy more things she loves."

Mom stepped in: "You are Xia Xia's brother, and she is definitely willing to share with you. Xia Xia is a good child of her mother, and Qiuqiu is also a good child of her mother."

When her mother said this, Lin Zeqiu was looking up and taking a mouthful of yogurt. He coughed, and just about to say something, his mother had already left. He chased to the door and saw his mother pushing out a bicycle-mother's bicycle seat had long been broken. Lin Zeqiu's bicycle is still intact. Even so, my mother never borrowed Lin Zeqiu's car.

Lin Zeqiu unconsciously shouted: "Mom."

His mother told him: "Tonight, let's eat shrimp dumplings, green pepper fried beef, apple soup, cold tofu, and stir-fry a plate of green vegetables. You like to drink Coke. Mom just helped you chill a can of Coke... After school in the afternoon, you Take your sister home, and our family will have a good dinner."

Lin Zeqiu stood up straight. His back is straight as a vertical line. He held the door handle, his voice buzzed vaguely: "Okay."

Lin Zhixia also likes to say "OK". She can speak just two words very sweet, full of energy and likable. But when Lin Zeqiu expressed the same view, he seemed to have a rotten peach in his mouth. His mother beckoned him and rode out of the apartment building.

Lin Zeqiu suddenly felt that he had recovered a little strength. The math problem that plagued him before seemed less terrifying. He closed the door, walked back to the bedroom, and devoted himself to his studies.

It is a pity that his mental strength is only a short-lived.

After another ten minutes, he still couldn't solve the finale.

Time passed by, and he sat like pins and needles on the chair.

The cup of yellow peach yogurt was stained with a thin layer of water mist, like a bead of sweat dripping from the bottom of his heart. He was holding a yogurt cup, his fingers were soaked in water vapor, and he felt slightly cold. He raised his chin, looked through the glass window, and Lin Zhixia's voice came from behind: "Brother..."

He was shocked: "Why did you wake up?"

Lin Zhixia rubbed her eyes: "I dreamed that you were eaten by the little penguin. I cried sadly in my dream..."

Lin Zeqiu was embarrassed.

But he could not expose what he had said to his sister. He replied vaguely: "It's just a dream, are you afraid of a ghost?"

Lin Zhixia is confident: "I'm just a little scared, can't I?"

There is also a chair beside Lin Zeqiu. He patted the empty seat severely, and Lin Zhixia ran over and sat next to him. He raised his hand and stroked the top of her head like a kitten.

"You are too courageous." Lin Zeqiu criticized her while smoothing her hair.

Lin Zhixia said, "But I am not afraid of penguins or insects."

Lin Zeqiu was bitten by a centipede when he was young. Since then, he has a fatal flaw. He will collapse on the spot when he sees the bug, discarding all his masculinity, and can no longer perform the usual arrogant, calm, and contemptuous posture of beings.

He warned Lin Zhixia: "You don't have to bug me. You mention it again, I will tell you ghost stories immediately."

Lin Zhixia is very afraid of ghost stories. Because she can't forget ghost stories, nor can she forget the horrible atmosphere. When her brother said casually, her face turned pale. She angrily said: "You are so bad."

The brother stroked her head slowly: "White-eyed wolf." He said, "Since you were three years old, your parents have asked me to take care of you. I was only six years old that year."

Lin Zhixia stopped talking.

The glass windows lightly reflect the indoor scene. The two brothers and sisters live in harmony, and the warm family affection is overflowing. What a warm picture this is.

Until Lin Zhixia said: "Brother, haven't you made the finale?"

Lin Zeqiu retracted his hand, stood up, and arranged the stationery box: "It's almost time, you go to prepare, we go to school."

Lin Zhixia ignored her brother. She took a pen to write the answer on the paper, and the steps to solve the problem were extremely detailed. She even took out a piece of white paper and seriously summarized the "solutions to similar problems." She finished writing the last word, yawned, and returned to her room quietly.

Lin Zeqiu held the pages she left behind and stood motionless for a long time.

That night, Lin Zeqiu was caught in the light of Lin Zhixia. The dinner at his family is like a New Year's Eve dinner.

The business was most prosperous at 6 or 7 in the evening, and my father didn't dare to suspend business, so he packed his order with a lunch box. Lin Zhixia picked up the chopsticks, grabbed Dad's lunch box, and put a large slice of shrimp dumplings and green pepper fried beef into the lunch box.

Dad suddenly sighed with emotion: "How nice Xia Xia is. Tell me about my Xia Xia, what a nice little girl."

He held the lunch box, contentedly, and walked to his shop.

The mother stayed at the dinner table and accompanied her son and daughter to dinner. Lin Zhixia expressed her happiness with applause: "Shrimp dumplings! Three plates of dumplings!"

Mother laughed and said, "If you like, eat more."

Lin Zhixia held the porcelain bowl, poured the vinegar, and reverently picked up the shrimp dumplings and put them into the bowl. She chewed slowly and tasted the strong dough, the tender shrimp, the sweet corn, and the sour and delicious old vinegar. The heart and lungs were filled with cheerful emotions, and the air she breathed became light and sweet.

"Xia Xia is so happy." Lin Zhixia can eat hard.

She ate seven dumplings and asked, "Are my brother and mom happy?"

Mother coaxed her: "Xia Xia is happy, mother is happy."

Lin Zhixia got a good answer from her mother. She turned her head again and looked at her brother.

The elder brother did not dip the vinegar, only put the green pepper beef and shrimp dumplings in the bowl, sweeping the food like a wind. On his left hand is a bowl of apple soup, and his right hand is a glass of ice coke. He can barely eat it. Hearing Lin Zhixia’s question, he even said: "Thanks to you, I have an extra 2,000 yuan in extra money at home."

In fact, when Lin Zhixia won the first prize in the junior high school league, the school awarded her a scholarship of 500 yuan. However, she did not hand in the five hundred yuan. She hid the five hundred yuan secretly-in this way, she usually buys books, buys stationery, and participates in spring and autumn outings without asking her parents for money. She always feels a little embarrassed when she asks her parents for money.

When my brother mentioned "two thousand yuan", Lin Zhixia thought of her five hundred yuan. She blushed, bit a dumpling, and flickered: "Two thousand yuan is not a lot of money...I will make more money in the future."

As if to compare with her, my brother immediately said, "I can also make a lot of money."

"After you earn money, you want to invite me to dinner," Lin Zhixia put forward one of her dreams, "I want to eat Atlantic lobster with my parents."

She gestured a length: "Such a big Atlantic lobster."

My brother squeezed the Coke bottle: "There will be such a day."

Lin Zhixia nodded: "Well, it will."

Lin Zhixia loves seafood.

She once carefully read a book of "Encyclopedia of Marine Life" in the library to judge what seafood can and cannot be eaten. Later, she and Jiang Yubai were at the same table, and she learned more about seafood from Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai's knowledge is very broad. He has not only read many books, but also traveled all over the world. His own experience and description are much richer than the perspective of "World Tourism Encyclopedia".

Lin Zhixia likes to listen to him, what he saw and heard during his travels.

She heard him talk about St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England. On the ground floor of St. Paul’s Cathedral, the coffin of the Duke of Wellington is parked. Faded flags hung around the coffin, and many names of the dead were carved on the stone floor.

From St. Paul’s Cathedral, you can drive to the famous "London Eye" in ten minutes.

However, Jiang Yubai said, the "London Eye" is meaningless at all, it is a very boring attraction. He stood on the bridge near the "London Eye", watching from a distance a group of tourists taking a boat tour of the Thames...

"How about the Thames?" Lin Zhixia asked him.

He hesitated for two seconds and said honestly: "The color of the river is yellowish, muddy and not clean."

Jiang Yubai pays great attention to hygiene, and his focus is different from Lin Zhixia. Lin Zhixia held her face in her hands and concluded: "It turns out that the Thames in London is like this. Sure enough, industrial pollution is too serious. I have seen it in the book."

Jiang Yubai added: "The upper reaches of the Thames are okay. There is a Hampton Palace in the north of London. On the upper river, the scenery is good. Many famous buildings are built on the river. Cherwell is a tributary and Oxford University is next to it. ..."

Lin Zhixia suddenly asked him: "What about Paris, France? What is Paris, France like?"

Jiang Yubai held up the water glass and patiently recounted his journey. Lin Zhixia seemed to set off with him and watched the exotic scenery. What is more interesting about Jiang Yubai than the book is that all he shares are unmodified personal experience.

He said that on the top of the Alps in July, the heavy snow blew his hat white. In August in Aswan, Egypt, the sun around the Abu Simbel Temple made him unable to open his eyes. He admired the ancient Egyptians for creating world wonders under such harsh environment.

After hearing his travel introduction, Lin Zhixia made up his mind on the spot: "I will also tell you my experience."

Jiang Yubai asked her: "What experience?"

When asked about Jiang Yubai's travel story, Jiang Yubai would definitely refuse to answer. But Lin Zhixia is different. Jiang Yubai knew that Lin Zhixia stayed at home every winter and summer vacation, and had hardly gone out to play. Out of a compensatory mentality, he knew everything about her and said everything.

In return, Lin Zhixia said: "In January next year, I will go to participate in the 2007 National Olympiad in Mathematics. Our classmates and teachers from the provincial team will live in the hotel. Can I call you? You share the experience of the national competition."

"Yes." Jiang Yubai agreed without hesitation.

He wrote down his mobile phone number, the landline number of the bedroom, and even the mobile phone numbers of his driver and housekeeper, which perfectly guaranteed the smooth communication between him and Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia glanced at the note and said, "I remember it."

Jiang Yubai was unable to participate in the 2007 National Olympic Mathematics Competition with Lin Zhixia, which made Lin Zhixia a little regretful. However, as Jiang Yubai said, Lin Zhixia must go forward bravely and explore the new universe.

On January 25, 2007, Lin Zhixia followed the provincial team and arrived at the city hosting the National Olympic Mathematical Competition. This was the first time in her life that she had gone out alone. Neither her father, mother nor brother were by her side.

At night, Lin Zhixia hugged the plush penguin and lay quietly on the hotel bed.

The hotel room was plunged into a silent darkness. Thick curtains cover all light sources, and the moon tonight is invisible. Lin Zhixia opened her eyes wide and looked at the dark ceiling. She clearly heard the sound of her heartbeat—bang-bang-bang-bang, as if ringing in her ears.

She hugged the little penguin tightly, and shrank into the quilt in fear.

From small to large, she was particularly afraid of strange dark environments.

Lin Zhixia tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep. Lin Zhixia regretted not insisting on letting her mother accompany her to the competition. She was worried that her father would be too busy at home after her mother left, so she vowed to say: All students in the provincial team are minors, and Lin Zhixia will not encounter any problems! Lin Zhixia is strong and brave!

Lin Zhixia was very ashamed.

She is not strong at all, not brave at all.

In the silent hotel room, she tensed her nerves, but her fear did not dissipate, and she was still deeply entrenched in her lungs. She remembered the ghost stories told by adults in the countryside when she was young. It is said that if a ghost appears behind a person in the middle of the night, you must never turn your head back, you can only turn around slowly, otherwise the person will be scared to death by the ghost.

Lin Zhixia recalled the atmosphere, the cold winter night, and grandma's solemn expression, she almost frightened herself.

She also remembered that one day at noon, she had a dream in which the little penguin ate her brother. Therefore, the little penguin in his arms could no longer provide Lin Zhixia with any sense of security. She missed Jiang Yubai very much. Jiang Yubai always pretended to be calm and calm. He would run to the playground between classes and hang the horizontal bar. He would unscrew the thermos and drink water quietly when the surrounding students were talking about him. He would gently push her back when Lin Zhixia didn't dare to take a step.

Lin Zhixia really wanted to call him.

The current time is 9:05 at night.

Jiang Yubai was already asleep. He goes to bed at 8:30 every night. He wants to grow tall and can't disturb him.

Lin Zhixia spent the night unconsciously. At two o'clock in the morning, she was half asleep and half awake, and she accidentally caught the red light of the TV's power supply and was taken aback again. She got into the quilt completely, her toes and hands were covered with the quilt, only the bottom half of her face was exposed to breathe.

When Lin Zhixia got up the next morning, her mind was dumbfounded.

After finishing washing, Lin Zhixia made some rectification, followed the teacher and classmates to the designated place to participate in the opening ceremony of the 22nd National Mathematical Olympiad for Middle School Students. She met math contest masters from all over the country, and even overseas students from Russia, Singapore and other regions participated in the competition.

The competition is fierce!

Lin Zhixia feels that she must have a good night's sleep tonight in order to perform to the level that she deserves in the competition exam tomorrow morning.

At five or six that afternoon, Lin Zhixia first called her mother. Mother coaxed her for half an hour, and she immediately felt relieved, and immediately called Jiang Yubai.

Since Lin Zhixia played with the provincial team, Jiang Yubai's table seat has been empty. In the past two days, Jiang Yubai carried his mobile phone with him, and put it on the bedside table at night. He intentionally or unintentionally reminded the housekeeper and driver to pay attention to strange calls, but he still didn't wait for Lin Zhixia's news. When he was puzzled, Lin Zhixia finally called.

The phone kept shaking and he was eating dinner.

He put down his chopsticks and immediately pressed to answer. Lin Zhixia's voice rang in his ear: "Jiang Yubai, Jiang Yubai, the exam will start tomorrow. This morning, I met classmates from various provinces at the opening ceremony... …I didn’t sleep well last night. The room was too dark and I was a little scared. If only you could join me in the game."

"I will compete with you and will not live in the same room with you." Jiang Yubai analyzed rationally.

Jiang Yubai's father, mother and uncle are at the dining table. Hearing what his nephew said, the uncle took a sip of wine on the spot.

Jiang Yubai didn't quite understand. He was right, why the uncle reacted so much. He continued to appease Lin Zhixia: "Don't be afraid, Captain Lin Zhixia. The universe is black, are you afraid of the universe?"

"Not afraid." Lin Zhixia said honestly.

Jiang Yubai nodded: "Captain Lin Zhixia, head towards the universe."

Lin Zhixia's fighting spirit was burning: "Okay!"
