Chapter 6: Encounter
Gao Yang was the leader of the Mathematics Group of First Middle School.
He had taken the Year 1 students to a math competition last year.
“Principal,” Gao Yang pushed the door open, his chubby face hesitating before asking, “What exam script do you want me to check?”
Principal Xu opened the first drawer and took out a book.
It was “Kite Chaser”.
There were dark red marks on the side of the book that looked like dried blood.
Principal Xu reached out and brushed the cover.
He lowered his head slightly, and with his fingers on the book cover, a paper was drawn out of it. An insignificant desolation seemed to linger between his fingertips.
“Look at it.” Principal Xu passed the paper to Gao Yang.
The paper rolls were neatly folded and somewhat old.
After being opened, there were slight uneven wrinkles on the rolled surface, as if it had been rubbed into a ball before.
Gao Yang looked at the paper and was very surprised.
This was last year’s International Olympics test paper. Gao Yang had taken the Mathematical Olympiad class last year and had done a lot of questions. He had referred to the answers three times before he figured out this test paper.
At first glance, he saw the words, their postures vertical and leaning on each other. The ink changed in thickness freely and the words were an unrestrained vigor of strokes.
It was a form of willfulness and lack of restraint from the inside out.
Even across a paper, Gao Yang could almost see how the person who had written the paper held the pen. That person was cool and wild with an unrestrained madness, smiling at him remotely.
The Mathematical Olympiad was a question from last year’s International Mathematical Olympiad and was not available online.
Gao Yang had studied this set of papers last year and hence, he scanned through it quickly. A large part of the problem-solving answers was different from the solutions he had read before, but the general direction was right.
There were not many questions on the paper, but Gao Yang looked at it for a long time.
“I don’t know much about the Olympiad, so I want you to help me look at how that kid is doing.” Principal Xu poured a cup of tea for Gao Yang and passed it to him.
Gao Yang took the cup and didn’t drink it immediately. He just held the paper and looked at it for a long time.
“Principal Xu, who did this? A student in our school?”
Principal Xu did not answer. He took the teacup and asked softly, sighing, “Was it done well?”
“It’s more than good,” Gao Yang said, with a regretful tone tinged with curiosity. “If I had seen this student two years earlier, the gold medal would have been ours.”
