Save the Bachelor of Heaven

During the winter vacation, Xiang Nan persuaded Pei Yin to travel with him for the holidays.

The two went to the Arctic Village in Mohe together, and enjoyed the scenery of the northern country covered in ice and snow for thousands of miles.

Jiangzhou is located in the south, and there is no snow in winter, so it lacks some atmosphere.

Now in the Northeast, everything is alive.

Xiang Nan built a snowman, played snowball fights, sledge-sledged in the Arctic Village, and ate chicken stewed with mushrooms, potatoes stewed with goose, catfish with eggplant... happy and delicious.

Moreover, it was amazing to see the aurora. Magnificent and colorful, with countless changes, it feels like being in a fairy tale world, it is really beautiful.

When Xiang Nan posted these photos to Moments, Lin Miaomiao, Deng Xiaoqi, Jiang Tianhao and others frantically liked and commented.

"Qian Sanyi, you are so lucky, you can eat so many good things. Do you know what I am doing now, I am in a tutoring class now! Ahh!!!! Miserable!!!! New Year's Eve Yes, they don't let me rest, they have to report me to work, I'm so pitiful!" Lin Miaomiao left a message.

"Wow, buddy, I really envy you. You can play snowball fights, slide sledges, skate, ride horses... I have never seen snow since I grew up. Oh, I will go to the Northeast next year." Jiang Tianhao said enviously .

"Sanyi, you are so lucky to be able to see the aurora! Wow, it's so beautiful! Can you tell me what wish you made at that time?" Deng Xiaoqi also enviously said.

There are also other students in the class who can't help being envious when they see that Xiang Nan doesn't have to go to cram school during the holidays, but can have fun playing to his heart's content.

...

After the Lantern Festival, the holiday is over, and everyone returns to school again.

"Here, one for each person, a gift from the northernmost part of the motherland." Xiang Nan smiled and distributed it to everyone, "Haozi, yours is a Soviet military telescope; Xiaoqi, yours is a Russian matryoshka; Miaomiao, Yours, Northeast Big Pine Kernels; Sun Chuanchu, yours, Arctic Village blueberries..."

"Wow, Sanyi, you are so kind, you brought gifts for everyone." The students were very happy to receive the gifts.

Xiang Nan smiled. In fact, these gifts did not cost much, but because they came from the Arctic Village and were relatively rare, they were still very popular. Moreover, sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is light in courtesy and affectionate, and it is also very helpful for him to establish a good relationship with his classmates.

At the beginning of the new semester, in addition to going to school, Xiang Nan also has to prepare for the national training team.

The top 60 students in the mathematics winter camp last year were all qualified to enter the national training team.

They will receive half a month of intensive training at Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School, and take three exams during the period. Based on their scores, six contestants will be selected to represent China in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

There are more than 40 million high school students in the country. These six contestants can be said to be one out of 8 million.

Therefore, anyone who enters the national team can basically be sent to Tsinghua University and Peking University without exception. And recommendation is much better than self-enrolment. Therefore, the competition is still quite fierce.

...

On March 10th, Xiang Nan and his mother, Pei Yin, set off for Hangzhou by high-speed train to participate in the national team training there.

"Yiyi, you must study hard, take the exam well, and don't disappoint your mother." Pei Yindun taught.

"Don't worry, I will." Xiang Nan nodded.

Hangzhou No. 2 Middle School is a key high school in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, and one of the best high schools in the province, and one of the top 100 characteristic schools in the country. To be honest, compared with it, elite high schools are much inferior.

After Xiang Nan entered the training team, he stayed in the No. 2 Middle School, receiving tutoring from teachers every day, trying to do a lot of exercises, and receiving high-intensity training.

During this period, in order to ensure the quality of the training, all the students handed in their mobile phones and were not allowed to communicate with the outside world at will, so Xiang Nan couldn't communicate with Lin Miaomiao, Jiang Tianhao, Deng Xiaoqi and others.

But he knows that they will definitely care about his national team selection, just as he will care about their studies.

The practice of the training team is quite boring, lecturing, solving, and doing the questions, going back and forth. Fortunately, Xiang Nan is mature and has inherited Ernst \u0026 Young Fu's hard-working character, so this kind of life can still be persisted.

And Xiang Nan's outstanding performance has also been highly praised by the coaches of the training team.

"This kid is really too smart. He can learn as soon as he is taught. He really doesn't look like a freshman in high school."

"Qian Sanyi's IQ, I feel, crushes other students. He has already solved such a difficult question before other students have an idea."

"His mental quality is also very high. I have to do so many questions every day, and I have never heard him complain. And everyone is under a lot of pressure, only he doesn't seem to care at all."

The teachers talked about it behind their backs, and they all thought that Xiang Nan was very good. He was the strongest high school student they had ever seen in their ten years of teaching.

On the 13th and 14th, the training team held the first quiz.

As expected, Xiang Nan advanced with full marks. To be honest, with his top mathematician-level strength, participating in the high school Olympic mathematics competition is actually a bit of a bully.

After the quiz, some students with poor grades experienced emotional fluctuations. Some were anxious and couldn’t eat, some worked hard to study late into the night, some were overwhelmed and cried loudly...

Xiang Nan's mood has always been stable, and he also helped to persuade students who were emotionally unstable.

"In any case, entering the national training team is already a great thing. Don't be sad. Compared with the more than 40 million students in China, we are already outstanding, and the future is bright.

Now it's just a temporary setback, don't worry about it, just keep working hard. Even if you are not selected, isn't it a wonderful experience in your life to be able to participate in the training camp? "

And his performance was once again noticed by the coaches, which made them very satisfied.

With excellent strength, outstanding performance and stable mood, he is really a popular candidate for the national team.

...

On the 18th and 19th, the training team held a second quiz again.

Xiang Nan advanced again with full marks.

Seeing such results, almost everyone can be sure that Xiang Nan will definitely be shortlisted for the national team.

Meanwhile, elite high schools.

"Qian Sanyi will be back soon, too." Lin Miaomiao asked Jiang Tianhao, lying on the table and tilting her head.

"It's early, it will take about a week." Jiang Tianhao waved his hand.

"I don't know how he is doing in the exam, but he doesn't even call, which makes people worry about him for nothing." Lin Miaomiao complained.

"What are you worried about for him? Are you afraid that he won't pass the exam?" Jiang Tianhao smiled, "To be honest, if he really passed the exam, it would be a bad thing for you."

"Why?" Lin Miaomiao asked puzzled.

"I checked online. Anyone who can be selected for the national team will be recommended to Tsinghua University and Peking University. That is to say, if Qian Sanyi is selected, he will go to university directly next semester." Jiang Tianhao explained, "When the time comes , if you want him to tutor homework, he won’t even be able to.”

"Ah?!" Lin Miaomiao was taken aback for a moment, not knowing whether to hope that Xiang Nan would pass the exam or not.
