Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Deeply Hidden Chapter 259: Chapter 259: Deeply Hidden Shen Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief, and Sheng Chuyi also relaxed.
It was only then that the two of them realized their current posture was somewhat ambiguous.
Shen Zhaozhao hurriedly scrambled to her feet, reaching out her hand to him again.
Sheng Chuyi took her hand and stood up, asking, “Still want to play?”
Shen Zhaozhao nodded.
It was just a fall, after all; it wasn’t enough to make her give up. She refused to believe she couldn’t do better than a three or four-year-old child.
Fortunately, after practicing for a while, she finally managed to slowly get the hang of it and could control her direction and come to a stop by herself.
On the way back from the ski resort to the mountain lodge, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but ask, “Yiyi, what does the person you like actually look like?”
“Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Sheng Chuyi looked at her.
“Just suddenly wanted to know.”
“Wasn’t it agreed that I would tell you after you passed the prelims and made it into the Provincial Team?” Sheng Chuyi said.
“But what if I don’t pass? Are you planning to keep it a secret forever and never tell me?”
“That won’t happen, I believe with your talent, you can definitely make it into the Provincial Team.” As long as this girl was willing to put in the effort.
“You think too highly of me. There are always people better than you, and here in Jing City, there are so many capable people, it’s not that easy to make it onto the Provincial Team.” Although he was optimistic about her, Shen Zhaozhao herself didn’t have much confidence.
It wasn’t that she was looking for excuses to underperform or give up; she genuinely felt she wasn’t up to the task.
“Whether or not you make it in the end, you have to at least try first.” Sheng Chuyi also knew that the education in Jing City was incomparable to that in smaller places, but mastering Olympic Mathematics was mostly about having the talent.
Talent sometimes really is more important than effort, of course, aside from talent, one also needs a guide.
Jiu Middle School had a specialized team of Olympic Mathematics coaches, and as long as she was willing to learn properly, she would definitely pass the prelims.
“Got it!” Shen Zhaozhao replied, “But if I don’t make it in the end, will you still tell me?”
Sheng Chuyi: “I will, but you have to wait until after your college entrance examination.”
Shen Zhaozhao puzzled, “Could it be that you’re worried I would tell Aunt Suxin and affect the two of you?” Then she raised her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t tell a soul.”
“It’s not because of that,” Sheng Chuyi glanced at her.
“Then what is it because of?”
Sheng Chuyi: “If you want to know, then prepare well for the upcoming Mathematical Olympiad.” Was he really not willing to tell her beforehand?
“Forget it, say it or don’t. I don’t even want to know anymore.” With that, Shen Zhaozhao turned around, huffing.
Watching the irritated girl, Sheng Chuyi helplessly shook his head.
In the afternoon, the group packed their things and left the mountain lodge to return home.
When leaving, Shen Zhaozhao felt she hadn’t had enough fun yet.
Sheng Chuyi, seeing her thoughts, said, “We can come again next holiday.”
That made Shen Zhaozhao feel less regretful.
But, “Next time we come, are you going to bring your girlfriend?” Thinking that there would be an extra person joining them, Shen Zhaozhao suddenly wasn’t looking forward to it as much.
“What girlfriend?” Listening in, Zhou Huaiyu immediately came over and asked, “Are you two together now?”
“Not me!” Shen Zhaozhao glanced in Sheng Chuyi’s direction, “He’s the one who has someone he likes.”
Shen Zhaozhao thought that since these two were with each other every day, perhaps they would know.
But seeing the bewildered expression on their faces, she knew that certain someone had indeed kept it very secret.
It seemed she could only wait until after the Mathematical Olympiad was over.
