Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Is He Angry?
In the evening, six people gathered together.
Sheng Chuyi took out a sheet of paper, which summarized the key points of the teachers’ lectures from that day.
He prepared to discuss them again with everyone, striving to fully digest and absorb the content the teachers had covered during the day. Additionally, he had prepared some problems for everyone to work on to consolidate their understanding.
Everyone thought this method was very effective, and unknowingly, the group discussed until very late.
As the designated lights-out time had long passed, Shen Zhaozhao yawned and with tears welling up in her eyes, her eyes glistening wetly, she asked, “How much longer do we still have to go on?”
Xia Miao quietly passed her a piece of chocolate and encouraged her, “Zhaozhao, just hold on a bit longer, perk up. Once we finish this problem, we can go back to the dormitory and sleep!”
The problem was that quickly finishing tasks required a burst of energy, but gathering that energy itself took a long time.
“I can’t do it anymore, you guys continue, I’m going back to sleep!” Shen Zhaozhao stood up and staggered in the direction of the dormitory.
“Zhaozhao?” Xia Miao ran over and grabbed her, “I know our chances are slim, and our efforts might be in vain, but wasn’t it you who said we should believe in classmate Chuyi? Were all those things you said just to comfort me? Do you also think we have no chance?”
That wasn’t how she felt, she was just too sleepy!
She thought that even if she stayed, she wouldn’t be able to absorb anything, and it would be better to go back to sleep earlier.
Maybe she would be more effective in class tomorrow.
“Could you stay with us a little longer? It will be over soon,” Xia Miao tried to persuade her to stay.
But she was really so tired!
Shen Zhaozhao felt her eyes were nearly too heavy to keep open.
“Let her go back,” Sheng Chuyi suddenly spoke up.
Then, turning his attention back to the others, he said, “Let’s continue.”
Xia Miao opened her mouth, looked at Shen Zhaozhao, wanting to say something but in the end, she said nothing.
She let go of her, and returned to her original seat.
Xu Siyan then smiled and waved at Shen Zhaozhao, saying, “Zhaozhao, if you’re sleepy, go back and sleep first, I’ll explain the rest to you tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Shen Zhaozhao nodded and yawned again as she walked out.
But then, Sheng Chuyi suddenly closed his notebook and said to the others, “Let’s call it a day! We’ll continue tomorrow.” Without waiting for any response, he started packing up his things and left.
The rest looked at each other in confusion, “Is he angry?”
Shen Zhaozhao then waved at everyone, “Alright, don’t guess wildly, let’s go to sleep! He’s probably just as tired as I am. We still have class tomorrow. Let’s go, I’m dead tired.”
With the person leading the discussion gone, the remaining people had no choice but to pack up and leave as well.
Shen Zhaozhao woke up in the middle of the night to find a faint light coming from Xia Miao’s blanket.
She rubbed her eyes and sat up, leaning over to ask, “Miao Miao, why aren’t you sleeping yet?”
Xia Miao poked her head out from under the blanket, whispering, “I’m afraid I’ll drag everyone down in the exam a week from now, so I wanted to study more at night. Did I wake you up?”
“Sorry, it’s all because I’m too dumb. They’re right, Olympic Mathematics relies on talent, and maybe no matter how hard I try it won’t matter, but I still want to give it a shot.”
“What they said isn’t right, who says that effort is useless? With all your hard work, you’re bound to make it,” Shen Zhaozhao comforted her.
Although she really didn’t understand what was so good about making it.
