Lin Shumo pushed the test paper in front of Jiang Fuyue. “Check the answers.”
Jiang Fuyue opened it and glanced over it quickly. “No problem.”
Huo Fanjin was shocked again. “That’s it? Did you really look at it? Where are the reference answers?”
She looked around but couldn’t find anything resembling answers.
Fang Canyang was also curious.
Three major questions, each with at least seven or eight sub-questions. Can she determine if they’re correct with just a quick scan?
Uh!
Isn’t that too casual?
The way Lin Shumo looked at the two of them was… how to say… like city folk looking at country bumpkins.
Ling Xuan also had a complicated expression.
Huo Fanjin and Fang Canyang, who were encountering the “big devil” for the first time, looked confused.
Huo Fanjin: Did I say something wrong? Why are they looking at me like that?
Fang Canyang: I think I might have messed up, though I’m not sure what I did.
Finally, Fan Ye stepped in to explain things to the two of them—
“Sister Yue never needs paper answers because all the steps and results are in her head.”
Huo Fanjin: “?” Is she even human?
Fang Canyang: “!” I might have met a god.
At this moment, Ling Xuan nonchalantly handed over his test paper. “After you’re done with his, check mine too. I’m hungry.”
Jiang Fuyue quickly checked it and then pushed a plate towards him.
“Hey,” Lin Shumo was dissatisfied, his handsome face cold. “What’s the meaning of this? You pushed it to him. Am I not going to eat?”
Jiang Fuyue: “?” You really haven’t touched your chopsticks.
Lin Shumo’s mouth twitched. “I wasn’t hungry before, but now I am. Is that not okay?!”
“……”
Finally, the plate was placed between Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan. Their eyes met, and sparks seemed to fly.
The two others at the table were in a bad spot.
Fang Canyang was so distracted by the smell of the barbecue that he couldn’t focus on the questions. He kept sneaking glances, unable to concentrate.
Huo Fanjin wanted to work on the questions properly, but she had started off too casually, and the questions were difficult and time-consuming. Now she was just anxious.
Both of them were scratching their heads and fidgeting restlessly.
One glance from Jiang Fuyue, and they immediately settled down.
Ling Xuan commented, “This grilled chive is pretty good.”
Lin Shumo replied, “It’s good for kidney health. You should eat more.”
“……”
Meanwhile, Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui finished almost simultaneously—
“Big Sister Yue!”
Jiang Fuyue turned back to their side, making Huo Fanjin and Fang Canyang feel like their hearts were being scratched by a cat. Were they the only ones left?
Soon, Huang Hui and Gao Zhaoming passed the check and eagerly pounced on the beloved barbecue.
Fan Ye had already eaten her fill and was sitting to the side, drinking a beverage and casually browsing videos on her phone.
She was living the life.
Suddenly, she left her seat and approached Huo Fanjin. “Sister Huo, you’re not done yet?”
“……”
“At this rate, all the meat will be gone. You really need to hurry up.”
“……”
“Oh, come on! This equation is so simple, do you even need to calculate it? Let me just give you the answer. x equals 3, y equals 7.”
“……” You little brat, are you here to mock me?
“Sister Huo, why did you stop? Hurry and move on to the next step! Write out the equation and I’ll help you calculate it, that’ll save time! Just think about the delicious barbecue, the crispy and fragrant delicacies, and the juicy grilled chicken wings…”
Gulp!
Huo Fanjin was drooling.
She sneaked a glance at Jiang Fuyue and whispered, “Will she get mad if we do this?”
Fan Ye waved her hand dismissively. “She won’t.”
Huo Fanjin: “Are you sure?”
“Sister Yue said that calculations are just a way to express our thinking. What we should learn is how to think, not just how to calculate.”
Uh!
“What does that mean?”
Fan Ye thought for a moment. “Simply put, leave the problem-solving to your brain and the calculations to the calculator.”
“Does Jiang Fuyue use a calculator when she does problems?”
Fan Ye shook her head. “Sister Yue doesn’t use a calculator or anyone else’s help. No matter how complicated the steps are, she can get the answer with just a glance. So she never needs scratch paper when she solves problems.”
That last sentence completely reshaped Huo Fanjin’s worldview.
She stared wide-eyed, her lips trembling. “N-No scratch paper?!”
Fan Ye nodded matter-of-factly. “Yes.”
Looking at Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan, they both had calm expressions, clearly already aware of this.
Perhaps they had once been similarly shocked?
Huo Fanjin: “…” I was too naive to realize how deep the water is.
Meanwhile, Fang Canyang, who had been eavesdropping, had his mouth forming an “O” shape, his eyes dazed.
Another one bites the dust!
Twenty minutes later, when Fang Canyang finally handed in his paper and reached for the remaining skewers on the plate, Jiang Fuyue suddenly tapped the table.
Fang Canyang looked up. “?”
Jiang Fuyue’s gaze swept over his hand, which was suspended in mid-air.
He pursed his lips and quietly withdrew his hand, looking anxious.
“There are two mistakes.”
Fang Canyang: “Huh?”
Jiang Fuyue pointed them out to him.
One was a missing unit, and the other was a mixed-up formula.
Neither was a glaring error, nor did they affect the final answer, but Jiang Fuyue had spotted them in such a short time.
Fang Canyang’s eyes filled with admiration.
Ever since he was a child, relatives and friends had called him a genius, a prodigy. But today, he finally understood what a true genius was like.
In the end, when Fang Canyang had eaten his fill and was resting on a small stool, Huo Fanjin finally completed her test, passed the check, and got to eat the barbecue she had been dreaming of.
It was the most difficult, bittersweet, desperate, and worldview-shattering barbecue she had ever had!
She finally understood what Yan Zhenfeng meant when he said, “You won’t regret it” about making Jiang Fuyue the team captain.
D*mn it!
I’ve been tricked.
Huo Fanjin: Is it too late to regret it now?
