Before you know it, half of the semester is over, and the midterm exam is coming as scheduled.
Because the midterm exam is related to the total grades at the end of the year, and it is closely related to the evaluation of scholarships. Besides, they have just graduated from high school, so everyone is quite serious.
Lin Xi is usually very serious in class, and when it is time to take notes, he is meticulous.
These days, when she meets Ji Junxing, they always make appointments for self-study in the library. Because Ji Junxing withdrew from Qiaolian's entrepreneurial team, now he only needs to prepare for the ACM competition with all his strength. In the previous qualifiers for the Beijing division, he led his team to win the first place, and has already confirmed the quota for next year's competition.
So he had a lot of time to come out, just in time to accompany Lin Xi to prepare for the midterm exam.
Seeing Lin Xi being so serious, he still couldn't help pointing out: "Actually, the midterm exams in college don't have to be as hard as high school."
Lin Xi looked up at him and asked, "What was your rank in the midterm exam last year?"
Looking at her serious appearance, Ji Junxing laughed softly and said, "Number one."
"So don't stand and talk without pain in your back." Lin Xi glared at him.
"Okay, I won't stop you from pursuing progress." Ji Junxing laughed.
Probably the biggest difference between college and high school is that no teacher will read his scores and rankings in front of the class anymore. But even so, when checking the results, everyone was still nervous.
The three people in the dormitory stayed in the dormitory that day and did not go to the library.
Chu Qianqian was the first to find out. Because she joined the student union as soon as she entered the school, and there are other clubs, she is very busy with these things every day.
She glanced at her scores and was quite satisfied, all of them were above 80 points.
So she ran to Xiao Fangyu's side, looked at her computer screen, and when she saw the full screen with a score above 90, Chu Qianqian said enviously: "Xiao Fang, your test score is so high."
Xiao Fangyu turned her head, "Call me Xiaofang again, and I'll screw your head off."
Chu Qianqian immediately laughed out of joy. Xiao Fangyu is usually a bit introverted and an honest girl. Only when she heard Chu Qianqian call her Xiaofang, would she show her powerful side.
Ye Ke's grades are also good, with scores above 85.
Chu Qianqian turned her head to look at Lin Xi's desk, and asked, "Where did Lin Xi go?"
"Single dog like you, don't care about others."
After Lin Xi had dinner with Ji Junxing, she saw Chu Qianqian tell her that the mid-term exam was out, so she went back to the dormitory.
As soon as she came in, she distributed the fruits Ji Junxing bought to everyone, and sat down to check her grades.
While eating the fruit, Chu Qianqian said, "Lin Xi, what are you doing with Ji Shen every day?"
"Go to the library for self-study." Lin Xi replied.
Chu Qianqian had an expression of disbelief, and smiled maliciously: "You young men and women, fuck, do you just read books every day?"
She pushed the grapefruit meat into her mouth, just in time to see Lin Xi checked her grades, stood up and walked over and said, "Anyway, I don't believe it..."
Seeing the numbers on the screen, Chu Qianqian froze.
She blinked, and finally went completely crazy. Pointing at the screen, she said in disbelief, "Lin Xi, how many perfect marks did you take? How could you be so perverted? Are you going to give us a chance to survive?"
Chu Qianqian's big reaction aroused the curiosity of the other two.
Xiao Fangyu and Ye Ke came over and lay down behind Lin Xi's chair, looking at her computer screen, they were also shocked.
The scores of 100 and 99 on the full screen, and some low scores are also above 95.
Ye Ke held back for a long time, "I dared to think about the scholarship beyond my means."
Xiao Fangyu nodded and said, "Me too."
"Lin Xi, I really believe now that you are really studying with Ji Shen." Chu Qianqian said in admiration, this score is really convincing.
Ye Ke said, "Didn't you say that senior Ji also had good grades in the computer department?"
Chu Qianqian is a know-it-all, because she has participated in many club activities and has a wide network of contacts, and she is more familiar with the computer department than Lin Xi. So Ji Jun did a lot of things, and she inquired about them.
The class on the second day happened to be the class of their class teacher Han Wenda.
It is estimated that the teacher saw yesterday's score, and before class, he couldn't help but say a few words: "Although you should pay attention to many aspects of development when you go to college. But if you can't even handle basic learning, no matter how good your extracurricular development is. , that is also a house without a solid foundation, and the wind can blow you down."
Chu Qianqian said in a low voice: "I heard that there are two boys in our class who failed the exam and play games in the dormitory every day."
The university atmosphere is much more relaxed and free than that of high school, so that after some students enter the university, without the constraints and discipline of high school, failures happen from time to time. Even a top prestigious school like Tsinghua University has no shortage of students who drop out because of failing courses.
So some people failed in the first midterm exam, and Han Wenda took it very seriously.
After class, Lin Xi and Chu Qianqian packed up their things, while the other boys in the class had already disappeared.
Because the two of them walked slowly, they happened to leave the classroom with Han Wenda.
There were only two girls in the class, so Han Wenda naturally remembered their grades, and Lin Xi also got the first place in the whole department. Han Wenda smiled and said, "Are you two still used to school life?"
Chu Qianqian has an outgoing and lively personality, and told Han Wenda about her work in the student union and the volunteer association she joined.
Han Wenda nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that Lin Xi hadn't spoken, he smiled and asked, "What about you, Lin Xi?"
"Mr. Han, I only joined the dance club." Lin Xi said a little embarrassedly.
Han Wenda smiled and said: "Don't worry, take your time. You did well in the exam this time, which shows that you have strong self-discipline. You can participate in more extracurricular activities when you have spare time in your studies, and choose what you like to participate in." ."
In fact, when Chu Qianqian talked all the way just now, Lin Xi listened with envy.
She is introverted by nature and not the kind who likes to express herself. The only competition she participated in before college was an English speech competition, and she participated in that time with Ji Junxing's encouragement.
It seemed that only when he was by his side would he be a little braver.
In the evening, the two walked along the campus boulevard, Lin Xi remained silent.
Ji Junxing turned his head and glanced at her, and was about to speak when a few people passed by and greeted him, "Director Ji."
These people glanced at Lin Xi, full of curiosity.
But Ji Junxing greeted them and took Lin Xi away. It wasn't long before they walked out, and the discussions that followed were endless.
"Is that Ji Dashen's girlfriend? She's so beautiful."
"Didn't you say that Ji Shen doesn't have a girlfriend?"
"Who knows, I look alike."
Lin Xi didn't hear these discussions, but she looked at him curiously and asked, "Why do they call you Director Ji?"
Ji Junxing put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly, "I am the office director of the Tsinghua Branch of the China Computer Association."
Lin Xi: "..."
After holding back for a long time, she said sullenly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Is this something worth talking about?" Ji Junxing looked at her lightly.
Listening to his understatement, Lin Xi felt a mouthful of blood in her heart. After a long while, she whispered, "One or two of you are both so powerful."
As soon as she finished speaking, the boy beside her stopped in her tracks. He happened to be standing under the streetlight, his already slender figure, under the light of the streetlight, his black shadow was elongated. Under the light, his eyes had a particularly deep feeling, and when he looked at Lin Xi, he took on a somewhat serious look.
"What's wrong?" His voice softened a lot.
Lin Xi bit her lips lightly, and her crimson lips were bitten so that they were even more red than usual. Ji Junxing watched her move unconsciously, his heart tightened, his back straightened instantly, and blood rushed to a certain place.
He couldn't help but stop.
Fortunately, Lin Xi didn't notice his strangeness, and said softly: "Today the teacher asked me to participate in more extracurricular activities. Everyone seems to be very busy, either the student union or various associations."
She didn't go on talking, and she looked distressed.
Ji Junxing showed a relaxed smile, what did he think. He looked into her eyes and said in a low voice: "There is nothing I am interested in, so there is nothing to force. But when the opportunity comes, remember not to be timid, Lin Xi."
The early winter wind blew by, and it became very gentle because of his voice calling her name.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Chu Qianqian returned to the dormitory with a few leaflets.
"You must save me this time." Chu Qianqian shouted helplessly.
Lin Xi looked at the flyer in his hand, it was a flyer calling for everyone to sign up, the title was very sensational, Gathering Talents, Promoting the Style of Tsinghua Students.
Xiao Fangyu asked puzzledly: "What is this?"
"This is a TV program of the TV station. It cooperates with twelve domestic colleges and universities, and each school has a program. Eight students will be selected from the students who signed up in the school. These eight students will participate in the recording of the TV program, and the final decision will be made. The champion. Then the top three players can participate in the finals."
Chu Qianqian explained the rules.
Xiao Fangyu was speechless: "This kind of competition sounds cruel."
"That's right, but the program team not only set bonuses for the champions, but also set up public welfare scholarships based on the performance of the contestants. It will be very meaningful to donate to children in mountainous areas."
Ye Ke said: "Is it true that the better the performance of the contestants, the higher the scholarship?"
Chu Qianqian nodded: "Yes."
Ye Ke: "Will the school next door participate?"
Chu Qianqian sighed, and said, "It's because the school next door not only participated, it is said that many talented students signed up. The chairman of our student union asked us to come back and mobilize the students. No matter what, we cannot be compared by the next door."
Xiao Fangyu looked at her sympathetically, and said helplessly, "I quite like this kind of program."
After all, when the contestants on both sides rushed to answer, the thrills and excitement were really exciting, but when she was allowed to play by herself, Xiao Fangyu's calves trembled just thinking about it.
As for Ye Ke, she is not interested in this either.
Instead, it was Lin Xi who was looking at the flyer. She stared at the champion reward on the program list for a long time.
The champion was to study in the UK for a month.
She suddenly remembered the option that Grandpa Ji once gave her, sending her to study abroad, but she has never even gone abroad so far.
Seeing that Lin Xi was staring at the flyer, Chu Xiqian hurriedly encouraged her, "Lin Xi, your grades are so good, I think you can do it. And I think this is a chance to practice..."
When Chu Qianqian was preparing to make a long speech, after all, she knew Lin Xi's character, which was reserved and quiet.
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lin Xi turned to look at her, and smiled softly: "Okay. I'll sign up."
When Ji Junxing knew that she signed up for this competition, he was surprised. The publicity of this program in the school is quite big, and someone encouraged him to participate in it yesterday. But Ji Junxing is not interested in this, and he has to prepare for the ACM competition, at least 20 hours of high-intensity training every week.
Once ready to participate in the competition, Lin Xi will naturally prepare seriously.
Because there is a question bank for the competition, Lin Xi has been looking at the question bank. It's just that as the registration deadline and the competition time approached, her pressure began to increase.
Even Ji Junxing could see it.
He simply used public equipment for private use, and took the office of the Association for Computing Machinery to train her.
This is Lin Xi coming to the Association for Computing Machinery. As soon as she entered, several people were there, and when they saw Ji Junxing and her, they greeted her. With a calm expression, Ji Junxing dragged her into a separate office next to her.
Several members of the Association for Computing Machinery met them on the road before, and some people still did not believe that Ji Junxing had a girlfriend.
At this time, Ji Junxing directly brought people over, and the relationship was obvious.
Lin Xi put down her schoolbag, and took out the question bank she had printed out from the bag.
Looking at the thick book, Ji Junxing raised his eyebrows slightly, heh, this program group is really good enough.
He took it directly and glanced at it a few times.
Hundreds of people participated in the preliminary competition at the same time, and the contestants were eliminated according to their correct answers and time, that is to say, in the case of all correct answers, the elimination took the longest time. If a player answers incorrectly, the player who answered incorrectly will be eliminated.
Therefore, both the accuracy of the player and the speed of the player are required.
Ji Junxing opened the drawer, took out something from it, and put it on the table.
Lin Xi looked down and asked, "What is this?"
"Answering machine." Ji Junxing's voice was indifferent.
Lin Xi: "..." She stared dumbfounded at the answering machine in front of her. She originally thought that Ji Junxing brought her here to practice to relax, but she didn't expect it to be real.
After finishing speaking, Ji Junxing took out another stopwatch from the drawer.
Lin Xi couldn't help but said, "Why are you so well prepared?"
"Since we are going to participate in the competition, we must take the first place. Otherwise, where will I put my face?" Ji Junxing sat on the chair, although his tone was still lazy, but his expression was serious.
Lin Xigang wanted to complain, what does her participation in the competition have to do with his face.
But after bumping into his dark pupils, he calmed down obediently.
Both of them are serious about their work, they say it's practice, and they really start to practice as soon as the things are ready.
Ji Jun read the questions, and Lin Xi pressed the answering machine to start answering. Ji Junxing will count the time when she presses the answering machine and examine her accuracy.
Fortunately, Lin Xi had prepared adequately in the early stage.
All the way to the fifty questions, she got all the questions right.
Until the fifty-first question, her head got stuck. She obviously had one answer in her mind, but she said another one. After she finished speaking, she was a little confused.
Lin Xi knocked herself on the head with her hand, "You're so stupid."
Under the bright white light, her fair skin was shrouded in the light, as if covered with a thin layer of white glaze, revealing a radiant whiteness. There was annoyance on her small and delicate cheeks, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and her pink lips were pursed, as if she was very dissatisfied with herself.
Ji Junxing suddenly stood up from his seat.
Lin Xi's palm was still on the side of her head, and when she was regretting, suddenly the back of her head was gently clasped by a hand.
Her whole body was gently carried by this hand.
The boy who was sitting across the table from her had suddenly enlarged his cheeks in front of her eyes. Under his thick long eyelashes, his black pupils were so bright that they couldn't even compare to the stars twinkling outside the window.
Lin Xi leaned forward, she couldn't help but put her hands on the table.
Until the soft touch on her lips that made her tremble appeared again, at this moment, the surroundings were so quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Junxing let go of her.
There was a serious look in his black eyes.
"From now on, if you get another question wrong, I'll kiss you."
