Lin Nian listened to the sound of the pages turning repeatedly. His closed eyes were filled with white and red light. His slightly long eyelashes trembled slightly. When he opened his eyes, he saw a world that had collapsed. The girl was sitting at the front of the desk by the bedroom window. She was immersed in reading a high-level mathematics book. Her long black hair was simply tied into a bun for convenience, revealing her neck, which was as white as porcelain in the sun.
Lin Nian slowly sat up from the bed on the upper bunk. Without disturbing the girl who was reading hard at the window below, he lifted up the dark green school uniform underneath the white bed quilt and slightly unbuttoned the collar. He took a breath to make himself feel better.
My head is still a little stuffy, and I feel like I'm hypoxic, but the ventilation equipment of this standard women's dormitory is complete, the central air conditioner is always on, and the only window is half open. Outside the window, I can see the red maple forest and Tibetan flowers. The black eaves of Niflheim Castle in the depths.
This is always the case when the term starts at Big Sale College, and Lin Nian has seen it all the time.
In the cool autumn weather, another spark of fire casually spread over Illinois. It was probably intended to be a temporary catch-up, but no one thought that even a single spark from a chopstick could start a prairie fire.
I remember in the days before the CC1000 express train came to the college, a bright red color appeared on the hillside in the distance, as if it could be extinguished by blowing the windbreaker, but it followed the trajectory pointed by the white windmill behind it and rolled towards the flowers and plants all over the mountains and fields, burning out vigorously. The colorful purples and reds that spread all the way could not be stopped or extinguished, and the destructive force spread to the mountaintop college. With just one flick, the iron forest that should have been completely black was lit up as red as fire. When the breeze blew, Sparks flickered from the branches, swaying and twinkling in the air, falling onto the mirror-like lake rippled by the autumn wind, never extinguished or sinking.
Autumn fire can really set even the lake on fire.
A red maple leaf slid down the eaves, and was blown by the wind to land on the desk in front of the window. The girl who was chewing a book put her pen on her lips and pouted as if she had found some strange toy. , twisting the roots of the leaves with your fingers and rubbing them constantly to make the maple leaves spin in circles quickly.
"Alas!" She suddenly sighed and buried her head.
"It's normal not to be able to do it well. Kassel College's advanced mathematics course is indeed quite perverted. I didn't understand it when I first came here. If someone hadn't given me extra classes, I would probably have become the first person to be promoted because of failing the advanced mathematics course. It's not level 'S, level."
There was a voice behind the girl. The ballpoint pen pouting on her lips fell to the table and rolled down along the sloping arc of the table.
Before the ballpoint pen fell to the ground, Lin Nian, who silently and deftly rolled down from the upper bunk, walked to the desk and bent down to catch the ballpoint. He picked up the pen cap on the desk, put it on and put it down. He glanced at the pages that were turned over on the desk. A wrinkled exercise book for advanced math problems, "Oh, multiple logarithmic function integrals, I'm sorry, I can't save you."
"Senior brother, you don't know how to do it either?" The girl lay on the table and screamed.
"I used to know a few, but now I have lost it. There is a high probability that I will fail high school mathematics this semester. Even if I have a good memory, I can't do anything about this. This is no longer a question that I could solve by just memorizing the textbook once. Multiple integrals and differential calculus I'm pretty bad at learning the mean value theorem. I might be a little good at differential equations, but only a little bit." Lin Nian stood behind Xia Mi, bending down to read her exercise book and commenting, "These are actually appetizers. Cai, you will really start to get confused when you start the series courses taught in the college. Those professors teach very quickly, and they only teach a knowledge point once, and they will not teach it repeatedly like in high school classes. If If you don't understand the expansion of a formula, congratulations, you will basically fail this class by the end of the semester."
"But I have only taken less than three classes now! Three classes can predict the future of failing the class. Is it really necessary for such a tragic future to exist?" Xia Mi was a little frightened.
"Generally, if you think you are going to fail a class, you can start looking for foreign aid in advance. My sister taught me high math in my freshman year. If I didn't understand any question, she would break it down and start from that question.
From the formulas that need to be used to the knowledge points in the textbook, he will explain everything in detail from beginning to end until I understand it. "Lin Nian said, "You can buy a set of Fehchingolz in addition to the textbook.
, compared with the textbooks from Kassel College, the latter are considered to be of normal difficulty."
"The senior math student at Kassel College is so perverted? I dare to ask, senior brother, who is your sister?
Who is more sacred? Emperor Wenchang or Hua Luogeng?"
"The gap between the two of you seems to be a bit big. She is not a literary star, nor is she the reincarnation of a mathematical giant. She is just an ordinary..." Lin Nian stopped mid-sentence and fell silent.
Xia Mi didn't notice Lin Nian's silence. He stretched out his limbs on the seat and said, "If you fail the exam, you will fail the exam! Hum, no one has died since ancient times, I don't believe it."
I was the only one who failed the exam at the end of the semester. Everyone failed the exam and everyone retaken the exam. I still don’t believe that the difficulty of the exam questions will not decrease! If students are not allowed to upgrade and graduate, who will travel around the world to slay dragons in misery?”
Why did Lin Nianxin's words sound so familiar? Oh, he remembered. Lu Mingfei seemed to have said this. Lu, who had never been exposed to advanced mathematics in high school, was attracted by advanced mathematics as soon as he came to Cassel College.
I was bored with math and felt that I had gone to the wrong class. This should not be an introductory class for advanced math, but a rocket class for math competition.
"We've all come here like this, and we've all said such nonsense, but we still gave in in the end." Lin Nian advised, "But don't be too anxious, anyway, by the end of the semester, everyone will be the eight immortals showing their magical powers, spending a lot of money to make up for classes.
We spend a lot of money to make up lessons, those who cheat are cheating, and the cheating candidates caught by the Disciplinary Committee at the end of each semester can be queued from the school gate to the Hall of Valor."
"Senior brother, you really don't know how to comfort people..." Xia Mi closed her high-mathematics exercise book with a grimace. She glanced outside the window at where the sun was setting on the top of the clock tower in the distance and said, "It's noon, senior brother.
You can really sleep. Didn't you go to bed at eight or nine o'clock last night? Why did you wake up now?"
Lin Nian lifted up the sleeves of his school uniform and glanced at his black watch. It was already 11:23. If Xia Mi said he fell asleep at the right time, he had slept for a full fourteen hours last night.
"I had a nightmare." Lin Nian put down his sleeves and said, "It was very uncomfortable to sleep. It must be the bed."
Of course, it's not a human problem. Although he and Xia Mi temporarily shared a dormitory, they were both very nervous people. At some point, Lin Nian even suspected that it was Lu Mingfei sleeping on the lower bunk.
The difference is that one stays up all night playing games and the other stays up all night watching TV series.
But to put it this way, she is more like Mandy than Lu Mingfei. Lin Nian's heart moved slightly, but after a while, his eyes returned to calm.
Those three people seem to have something in common, but when put together in their hearts, they are completely different.
"Senior brother, do you still recognize your bed when you sleep? Are the beds in the girls' dormitory different from the beds in the boys' dormitory?" Xia Mi looked back at the upper bunk where Lin Nian was sleeping and asked strangely.
"I don't know." Lin Nian said.
It's true that he hasn't had such a bad sleep experience for a long time. After a full fourteen hours of deep sleep, he still feels tired after getting up. He is a little weak, but this fatigue is actually an illusion and can only be blamed.
of mental fatigue.
"Nightmare, senior brother, what are you dreaming about?" Xia Mi sat on the chair and hugged the back of the chair and looked at Lin Nian.
"I can't remember. Do you need the bathroom? I'm going to take a shower. I'm sweating a little while sleeping." Lin Nian turned around and walked to the bed, climbed up the ladder, pulled the suitcase from the corner of the bed, and stacked it inside.
Wearing his change of clothes.
"No, and if I need to use the restroom, I can go to the women's restroom in the corner of the corridor." Xia Mi said.
What should you do if someone asks you why you are not in the dormitory? On Norma's allocation list, you are the only one in the dormitory for the time being, and no one will compete with you for the bathroom." Lin Nian walked to the independent bathroom in the dormitory and said, "Normally, you are the only one in the dormitory.
Don’t ignore the details. If someone finds me hiding here, it will be very troublesome for both you and me.”
"I know." Xia Mi sighed.
She knew that Lin Nian was referring to the trouble with the investigation team. During the past few days of living together, she finally understood why Su Xiaoqiang kept whispering to her about the past during that time in Chicago. It seemed that Senior Sister Xiaoqiang had
Getting this boy is a hell of a challenge.
"-Will you go to the canteen or order takeout later?" Lin Nian asked while standing at the door of the bathroom.
"Go to the cafeteria and order a meal and bring it back as usual," Xia Mi said.
In order to better hide Lin Nian's traces, even if Xia Mi orders takeout these days, he only orders a meal for one person, and then splits the meal with Lin Nian.
Eat separately, otherwise if the amount of food suddenly increases, Norma and the investigation team will find clues.
"If you are hungry, I can eat less. I noticed that you have eaten a lot of snacks recently. Snacks are not enough to fill your stomach." Lin Nian looked at Xia Mi and reminded.
"No, no, you can just eat the food I brought back today by yourself!" Xia Mi said brightly, "I have been able to solve my own food and clothing problem in the past few days!"
Lin Nian paused as he entered the bathroom and turned to look at her.
"I applied for the right to visit the prison," Xia Mi explained.
"What do you mean?" Lin Nian seemed unable to understand the connection between the two.
Xia Mi further explained Hui: "Yesterday, the executive department commissioners came to me and told me that my brother has been unwilling to eat since he was imprisoned. He refused to eat no matter how hard he tried to persuade him. The food he sent in was left intact.
Take it out. If he continues like this, he is worried that something will happen to him, so he came to me and asked me to enlighten him."
"I explained to them that my brother only eats food from people he knows well. I have to borrow the kitchen in the cafeteria and cook something for him myself, and he is willing to eat it."
"By the way, I also asked if I could make some food for Senior Brother Chu Zihang and the others, because I heard from the news that Senior Brother Chu Zihang and the others seemed to have been taken away by the executive department and put under house arrest. I don't know if they can eat it these days.
A few good meals."
If they eat well, they should worry about whether they should be decapitated at some point, Lin Nian thought.
But further, he realized that the investigation team had begun to spread public opinion and build momentum. The leak of the news that Chu Zihang and others were under house arrest was one of the symptoms. Gradually, everyone in the college should hear about the hearing in the past few days.
The news has spread. People on my side are manipulating public opinion, so why don’t people on the investigation team understand these methods? Choosing to agree to Xia Mi’s visit to Chu Zihang and others, does this count as using this window to convey some minor issues to other students?
What about explicit disinformation?
"They say those who know how to cook will never die of hunger. Just eat the food I brought back these days. I'll be able to eat a little while in the cafeteria and no one will doubt me.
Xia Mi rolled up his sleeves to reveal his fair and slender arms, "I'm going to make some hometown desserts for Senior Brother Chu Zihang and the others today. What do you think of the Tremella Soup? Are Senior Brother Chu Zihang and Senior Sister Xiaoqiang used to it?"
"You have forgotten your senior brother Mingfei." Lin Nian opened the bathroom door and walked in. He didn't know what happened during Xia Mi and Chu Zihang's operation in Chicago. He always felt that this girl had never
After that time, he never left Chu Zihang's side.
Maybe Lin Nian had guessed something, but he wouldn't say a word about the relevant topic, because there are already enough "Susie"s in this school, and there is no shortage of "Xia Mi".
"When are you going to visit the prison?"
"I'll go see my brother at noon to deliver food to him. I'll have to save the white fungus soup until the evening to deliver it to Senior Brother Chu Zihang," Xia Mi said.
"Don't forget your senior brother Mingfei." Lin Nian said. He closed the bathroom door and turned on the water valve. The only sound in the shower room was the sound of the shower water.
Xia Mi, who was by the window, was spinning a ballpoint pen with one hand and looked at Lin Nian's closed bathroom door without saying a word. Finally, he curled his lips for no reason, stuck out his tongue, jumped up and ran towards the door of the bathroom.
