Chapter 284 Who won?

Night self-study.

After Yan Zhusheng finished his homework carefully in the first class, it was time for Li Luo to teach in the second class.

If you have any questions, please ask Li Luo.

Li Luo will also plan a study plan for each subject for Yan Zhusheng.

Especially under the influence of two academic masters, Ying Chanxi and Xu Youyu, and with the powerful memory and organization ability of the memory palace for knowledge points, Li Luo has now formed a complete knowledge framework system for various subjects.

On this basis, when you teach other students, you will have a bird's-eye view and help them build a complete learning path from top to bottom.

Many times, when Yan Zhusheng asked him a question, Li Luo could not only help her sort out her ideas for solving the problem, but also find her weak points in the entire knowledge framework in the process.

Then we can extend it in a targeted way to help her make up for the deficiencies in this area.

It's like playing with building blocks. If you can't solve a problem, it may seem that there is a piece of building block missing at the top, but the real problem may be that something at the bottom is not firmly built.

You have solved the problem and temporarily put in the missing block on top, but it may fall off again after a while because the foundation underneath is still unstable.

Some very hard-working students often accumulate a large amount of questions, but their grades do not improve quickly, and sometimes even the opposite effect occurs. It is likely that they have similar problems.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. This principle also applies to learning.

If the foundation is not laid firmly, relying solely on practicing questions is like looking at flowers in the fog and fishing in the water.

After practicing so many questions, you only know that you can often catch fish at this location in this river, so relying on your experience of practicing a lot of questions, you come here to fish every time.

However, as long as the water flow in this river changes, the seasons change, or even if a dam is built on the upstream river and the fish are trapped, the fishing effect at this point will be affected.

At this time, people with a solid foundation can naturally find the new fishing spot according to these changed conditions.

Those who only rely on practicing questions can only wait foolishly in the original position, trying again and again to continue fishing there.

Tried hard, but with little effect.

Therefore, smart and capable fishermen can often identify the seasons, observe the weather, and judge the water currents in advance.

Truly talented students can also adapt easily by tailoring their answers to changes in question types and question stems.

Under the influence of this model, Yan Zhusheng's performance will naturally improve slowly.

However, after studying for most of the class, as the time for their night run was getting closer, Yan Zhusheng temporarily put aside the questions he wanted to ask and started writing small notes instead.

[Yan Zhusheng]: I will have a competition with Xixi tomorrow.

Li Luo glanced at the draft paper she handed over, checked the time, and stopped staring at her while she was doing the questions. He picked up a pen and started replying on the draft paper.

[Li Luo]: You won’t be nervous, will you?
[Yan Zhusheng]: I’m very nervous, so who will you support?

[Li Luo]: I think I have answered this question once before?
[Yan Zhusheng]: You said you will support whoever has the lower score, is that right?

Li Luo glanced at the reply handed over by Yan Zhusheng, then looked at her suspiciously.

[Li Luo]: Don’t control your scores when the time comes, and don’t deliberately score one point lower than Xixi or something like that.

Yan Zhusheng looked at the words on the draft paper, blinked, and turned to look to the other side.

Hey, hey, hey! Are you feeling guilty?
Li Luo was speechless when he saw her like this, so he snatched the draft paper back and gave her instructions on it.

[Li Luo]: You'd better be serious and stop thinking about unnecessary things. Otherwise, when Xixi finds out that you deliberately gave in to her, she will probably be very angry.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Oh, I understand.

After Li Luo easily saw through his little thoughts, Yan Zhusheng had no choice but to obey.

[Li Luo]: You should focus on studying in your daily life. Competitions are just for fun, and there is no need to take them too seriously. Besides, you both have already advanced.

[Yan Zhusheng]: Okay, I’ll listen to Teacher Li.

[Li Luo]: Student Yan is a very well behaved student and deserves praise.

[Yan Zhusheng]: How should I praise Teacher Li? Pat him on the head?

Li Luo glanced at the note and saw that Yan Zhusheng had already lowered his head obediently towards him, so he glanced ahead again.

Everyone was studying hard and no one was looking at them.

So Li Luo raised his hand and gently touched Yan Zhusheng's head.

The two of them kept writing notes and chatting until there were more than ten minutes left before the get out of class ended. Then they got up and walked out of the classroom, went to the playground, and did their daily night run.

Yan Zhusheng put the Bluetooth headset into Li Luo's ears and started running slowly after him.

At this time, there were still badminton nets on the playground. After running five laps, Yan Zhusheng pointed in the direction of Court No. 5 and said, "Xixi and I will play here tomorrow."

"Which round is it?"

"The last round." Yan Zhusheng said, "It will probably start around 5:40."

"There will probably be a lot of people coming to watch the game." Li Luo pointed to the small viewing area nearby and said with a smile, "I don't know if it will be crowded."

"When the time comes, you should still support Xixi." Yan Zhusheng suddenly said this while looking at the No. 5 court.

Li Luo looked at her in surprise: "So generous?"

Yan Zhusheng shook his head and added in a low voice: "But I want some compensation."

"So you're waiting here." Li Luo laughed, "What compensation do you want?"

"I need you to support me in advance." Yan Zhusheng said, "If you support me now, you can support Xixi tomorrow."

"How can I support you now? Should I cheer you on?"

"That's good." Yan Zhusheng blinked, turned and walked to Li Luo, pulled his hands open, and let him hug him.

She gently leaned her head against Li Luo's chest, wrapped her arms around his back, and feeling Li Luo's gradually accelerating heartbeat, she whispered, "This is an encouraging hug between good friends."

"...Yeah." Li Luo hugged her for a while, felt it was enough, and was about to let go.

As a result, Yan Zhusheng hugged him even tighter, and before Li Luo could say anything, he turned the tables: "You haven't even said come on yet, why are you letting go?"

Li Luo: "...So we still need to say come on?"

"Otherwise how can it be considered encouragement?" Yan Zhusheng said seriously.

Li Luo smiled helplessly, thinking that I didn't see you remind me even though I hugged you for so long.

But Li Luo finally hugged the girl's soft body tightly again and whispered in her ear: "Good luck in tomorrow's game."

……

When the bell rang for the end of the second evening self-study get out of class, Ying Chanxi put down the pen in his hand and closed the pen box on the front left side of the desk.

Although she was reluctant to use the pen often because it was given by Li Luo, she just liked to take it out and look at it.

When she was not satisfied with the homework, she would look at the pen, pick it up and turn it a few times. When her mood improved, she would continue to do the homework happily.

Of course, now there is an additional bracelet.

Ying Chanxi packed his things, put on his schoolbag, touched the jade pendant on his bracelet, walked down the stairs briskly, and came to the back door of Class 8.

Li Luo in the classroom had also packed his schoolbag. After seeing Ying Chanxi, he walked out of the classroom and went downstairs with her.

After meeting Xu Youyu on Houde Road, the three of them headed towards Bihai Lanting.

"Xixi and Zhusheng have been very popular recently." Xu Youyu teased, "There are boys in our class who are actually talking about you two, and some even said they are going to watch your game tomorrow."

"After all, it's a competition among the school beauties of our No. 1 High School. It's quite normal." Li Luo nodded.

"What school beauty? Don't talk nonsense." Ying Chanxi rolled his eyes at him, "How can there be such a thing in our school?"

"You don't understand this." Li Luo shook his index finger and said, "Although few schools will specifically select school beauties in reality, there is a subtle consensus among boys."

"If she is a girl who doesn't usually show up in public, no matter how pretty she is, most boys have never seen her, so naturally there is no qualification to identify her as a school beauty."

"But you are different."

"Xixi speaks at the flag-raising ceremony every week, and Zhusheng performs at every rock club concert. Almost everyone at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School knows you two."

"Including senior sister."

"Although no one would say it, if someone were to ask who is the school beauty of No. 1 Middle School, the image that pops up in most boys' minds is self-evident."

Xu Youyu, who was standing by, laughed when he heard him say that: "Thank you for including me in the middle of your conversation."

"You're welcome." Li Luo smiled and pointed to the No. 5 court as he passed by the playground, reminding Xu Youyu.

"Senior, there will probably be a lot of people coming to watch their game tomorrow. I suggest you ask the student union to make arrangements in advance and move the courts on both sides a little further away. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be enough room for people to stand."

"You're quite considerate." Xu Youyu laughed, "Are you worried that you won't be able to squeeze in with others?"

"That's what I said anyway."

"I know. I'll give the order tomorrow."

The three of them walked out of the school gate and, as usual, went to the stall near the iron gate of the dormitory campus and asked Lin Xiufeng to make three servings of fried noodles, which they took home for a midnight snack.

After eating, Xu Youyu went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and Ying Chanxi followed Li Luo into the bedroom, watching him type while chatting.

Originally, Ying Chanxi felt embarrassed to disturb him while he was working.

But after Li Luo's memory palace started working, even chatting with Ying Chanxi would not delay his typing, which was quite convenient.

"Remember to remind Zhu Sheng for tomorrow's game." Ying Chanxi said seriously, "Don't let her go easy on me, just play normally."

"Got it." Li Luo nodded, then smiled, "But don't be too serious when the time comes, and don't be too eager to win. After all, you two have advanced now, and winning or losing tomorrow doesn't matter much. If you really want to decide the winner seriously, it won't be too late to wait until the finals."

Ying Chanxi nodded to show that he understood, but he didn't know what she actually thought.

After Xu Youyu finished taking a bath, it was Ying Chanxi's turn to take a bath.

Watching Ying Chanxi walk into the bathroom, Xu Youyu slipped into Li Luo's bedroom and patted his shoulder with a smile: "Help me blow dry my hair."

"Don't you usually play it yourself?"

"I also want a boy to touch my hair sometimes." Xu Youyu sat on Li Luo's thighs, "Do you want to blow dry my hair?" "Blow, blow, blow! You get up first." Li Luo quickly surrendered. After letting Xu Youyu get up, he immediately gave up his seat and let Xu Youyu sit on the chair. He then took out a hair dryer and helped her blow dry her hair.

After finishing the job, Xu Youyu didn't bother him any more. After all, she was busy typing herself. After thanking him, she slipped back to her bedroom.

When Ying Chanxi came back to Li Luo's bedroom after taking a shower, he saw the hair dryer on the table and smiled, "You are very conscious today. You have even prepared the hair dryer."

When Li Luo heard what Ying Chanxi said, he coughed a little guiltily, then asked her to sit on his chair and silently turned on the hair dryer.

"Why does it smell like shampoo?"

"Is there? It's yours, right?"

"Really……"

……

Friday, January 4th.

After a day of fermentation, the news that two school beauties in the first year of high school were about to compete on the badminton court quickly spread throughout the school.

Ying Chanxi, who has long been ranked first in the first year of high school, would attend the flag-raising ceremony almost every week and give a speech on behalf of the first year of high school. Over time, almost everyone knew her.

Especially for those who have seen Ying Chanxi up close at school, it is hard not to be attracted by her sweet and lovely face.

As for Yan Zhusheng, he was not well-known when he just started high school, but he made a splash at the opening ceremony of the sports meet.

Her waist-length hair flowed in the wind, her loud singing voice lingered in the air for a long time, her tall and slender figure, and her delicate face left a deep impression on everyone in the school.

As for why the two people drew each other, the reason is very simple.

Because that's the rule of Swiss wheel.

Only those with the same win points will face off.

Among the 64 contestants, there are only four who can maintain four consecutive victories after four rounds of competition.

It's not surprising that the two of them would meet in the fifth inning.

"Is it almost time? Time to go watch Yan Zhusheng's game."

After class in the evening, the students went to the cafeteria to have dinner first. When it was almost time, they went to the playground in groups.

At this moment, the game on Court No. 5 had not yet ended, but many people from Class 8 had already taken their positions, led by Zhu Yufei, waiting quietly by the side.

The same thing happened with the class next door. With Liu Shaowen in the lead, a dozen or so people took their positions in advance.

Each side brought a group of people to stand on the sidelines. The two girls who were playing on the court suddenly became nervous. They looked around and were a little confused, wondering why they suddenly became so popular.

As a result, when the game was over and Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng appeared on the sidelines, the two girls suddenly realized that they were not there to watch them play.

But after he realized it, he suddenly felt a little depressed, but when he saw Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, he could only swallow his depression.

"Come on, Zhusheng!" Xu Yinghuan stood on the sidelines and shouted to Yan Zhusheng on the field.

Qiao Xinyan on the opposite side was not to be outdone, and shouted to Ying Chanxi with a smile: "Come on, Xixi!"

Because the previous game ended quickly, the time was only half past five.

Seeing how lively it was around, the physical education teacher was not in a hurry and asked the two girls to warm up first before starting.

At this time, Li Luo was standing on one side of the block, with his two feet divided exactly in half, one on the left half and the other on the right half, neither biased nor biased.

When Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng walked to the sidelines, Li Luo took out their drinks, unscrewed the bottles and handed them over.

After taking a sip of the drink, Yan Zhusheng returned the drink to Li Luo, then squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs with a serious look on his face.

Ying Chanxi on the other side followed suit.

I have to say, girls who roll up their trouser legs look really good, with a unique sporty beauty.

The school pants of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School were originally of a very loose style, and it was basically impossible to tell the shape of a girl’s legs when she wore them.

At this moment, the two of them rolled up their trouser legs at the same time, immediately attracting the attention of countless people around them.

Yan Zhusheng is tall and slender, with two long legs of perfect golden ratio. After rolling up his trouser legs, his calves are so slender and long that they seem like they can be held in one hand.

Ying Chanxi's calves are relatively shorter, but her calves are very cute, and her skin is so white that people want to pinch it.

Today, Ying Chanxi did not leave her long hair loose, nor did she simply tie it up. Instead, for the convenience of exercise, she simply made a bun, revealing her fair neck.

Yan Zhusheng had her usual high ponytail. When she walked into the court with her badminton racket in her hand, her ponytail bounced against her back, which looked very charming.

"So who does squad leader support today?" Zhu Yufei came up to Li Luo with a smile and put his arms around his neck.

Li Luo turned his head and glanced at him speechlessly, then quickly pushed him away: "You talk too much, can't you just wait quietly for the game to start?"

"I'm just asking." Zhu Yufei chuckled.

Zhang Guohuang at the side also laughed and said: "We have to understand each other. After all, on one side is our dear cousin, and on the other side is our dear deskmate. We are both brothers, so we must support each other!"

"Indeed, that's the truth." Zhu Yufei patted Li Luo's shoulder vigorously, "We all have to support it!"

As they said this, Lin Yuan and Fang Chen beside them couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the other students in Class 8 also looked at them strangely.

Li Luo glanced at his classmates. He always felt that these people had hidden meanings in their words and their eyes were strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

At this time, the physical education teacher had already blew the whistle, signaling Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng to get ready.

So Li Luo couldn't think too much for the time being. He immediately turned his head to look at the court and prepared to watch the game attentively.

Because it is still the Swiss round of the preliminary round, the game will still be decided by 15 points per game.

However, both of them have won four games now and have no worries about advancing, so there is no tense atmosphere among the students from Class 1 and Class 8 on the sidelines.

On the contrary, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng on the court both had solemn expressions, their eyes fell on each other, and they silently clenched the rackets in their hands.

In the first ball, the ball was in Ying Chanxi's hands.

Ying Chanxi gently tossed the badminton in his hand, hooked the racket, and quickly hit it in the diagonal direction.

Yan Zhusheng is indeed experienced in playing badminton. Almost as soon as Ying Chanxi's racket touched the badminton, she subconsciously judged where the ball would land, ran quickly, and then hit back.

Probably because the game had just started, Yan Zhusheng's counterattack was not very fierce, and the two of them fought back and forth.

Just the first ball was returned back and forth more than ten times. In the end, because Yan Zhusheng was more skilled, he made a quick smash in front of the net, and Ying Chanxi had no time to react before the ball landed.

When the students in Class 8 saw Yan Zhusheng win the game, they immediately cheered.

"Zhu Sheng, you are awesome!" Xu Yinghuan laughed and cheered on the sidelines, and said to Li Luo with a smile, "Class monitor, Zhu Sheng has won the game, why don't you say anything?"

Li Luo twitched his lips and glanced at Xu Yinghuan, signaling her not to make trouble.

While Ying Chanxi, who had lost the game, picked up the badminton on the ground, he subconsciously glanced at Li Luo outside the court.

When he saw him secretly giving him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement, Ying Chanxi pursed his lips, his mood improved a little, and he immediately regained his confidence, and his eyes gradually became firm.

Soon, Ying Chanxi recovered one point.

The two girls fought back and forth on the court, and more and more spectators gathered around and watched it with great excitement.

Especially when the two of them were running on the court, their beautiful calf muscles showed graceful lines, and they looked full of youthful vitality.

Halfway through the fight, Ying Chanxi's forehead was already covered with sweat, and the strands of hair beside his cheeks were stuck to his face because of the sweat, giving him a different kind of beauty.

Yan Zhusheng on the other side had conserved her energy quite well. She seemed to be just slightly out of breath, and her high ponytail kept dancing as she ran. One could feel her full of energy just by looking at her.

I have to say that Ying Chanxi is actually quite amazing.

Although it was obvious that there was still a small gap between him and Yan Zhusheng, he still tried hard to catch up to 10-7.

Unfortunately, Yan Zhusheng had no intention of letting up. After half of the process, she began to exert her strength and the score soon reached 14-9.

Ying Chanxi gritted his teeth and worked hard to score another point, bringing the score to 14-10.

But in the last ball, Yan Zhusheng first made a high tee shot and then a ball in front of the net.

Ying Chanxi rushed to the net in a hurry, saved the ball, and lifted it high.

But Yan Zhusheng was already waiting there. He jumped lightly and swung the racket in his hand, hitting a swift smash straight to the back of Ying Chanxi.

Seeing this scene, Ying Chanxi's heart began to beat violently, and almost subconsciously, he turned and ran diagonally backward.

Perhaps because he wanted to win so much, seeing that he could not touch the ball, Ying Chanxi leaped directly and rushed towards the landing badminton. The racket in his hand barely caught the ball, but he did not have the strength to hit it back.

With a plop, Ying Chanxi fell on the lawn.

The badminton drooped to the ground, announcing her failure.

15-10.

Yan Zhusheng won the game smoothly.

But the moment he saw Ying Chanxi fall, Yan Zhusheng immediately threw down his racket, crawled under the net, and ran towards Ying Chanxi.

Only this time, there was someone faster than her.

"Xixi! Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Li Luo ran to Ying Chanxi, helped her turn over, slowly helped her up, and asked nervously and worriedly.

"No, it's okay..." Ying Chanxi rubbed his knee, "It doesn't hurt much, it's okay."

"Let's go to the infirmary." Li Luo frowned and felt distressed when he saw that she had a slight scrape on her knee.

"I didn't fall that badly... It's much better than the last sports meet." Ying Chanxi whispered, "Just help me up."

"Listen to me, don't move." Li Luo shook his head, supported her back with one hand, and inserted the other hand directly under her legs. With a little force, he picked her up.

"Please make way for us, thank you." Li Luo walked to the front of the crowd with a calm face. As everyone consciously made way for him, Li Luo carried Ying Chanxi and walked towards the infirmary.

Looking at Li Luo's receding back, Yan Zhusheng hurriedly followed the two of them and pursed her lips.

Even though I won the game...I still feel a little unhappy.
