Today, Xia Zhi was the first student to arrive in the classroom. As usual, he said nothing and sat silently reading, as if knowledge was the priceless treasure he wanted most in the universe.
However, there are always people in this world who cannot read the atmosphere. Xia Zhi, who was obsessed with studying, was suddenly pulled out of the sea of books by someone saying "Good morning, classmate Xia Zhi."
It was Rika Shiraishi who arrived at school a little later than Natsuki. She was impeccably dressed as usual and had a flawless and elegant manner. Although she deserved death for disturbing his studies, she was a classmate, so it was okay.
You can't really do anything excessive.
"Good morning."
Xia Zhi simply replied. There is nothing to talk about with the eldest daughter of a rich family. Is it possible that she will still give you money? Just keep the minimum politeness, don't be too close, and don't be too distant.
Shiraishi Rika was choked by Xia Zhi's "Good morning" which had no emotional color and could directly feel the meaning of the word polite. None of the topics she had thought of last night could be said calmly in this context.
Come out. It’s really difficult, Chinese students.
Shiraishi Rika sat back in her seat, randomly picked up a book and put it on the table. After opening a page, she lowered her head and read. Of course, reading was just an illusion. She was observing Xia Zhi and looking for a topic to talk to.
and opportunities.
When she noticed that what Xia Zhi was looking at was mathematics, she thought that she should try the old method first. If she couldn't figure out a way for the time being, she might as well try the failed method first. Maybe you can find it if you change your thinking.
The way to break the situation. This is one of the precious life experiences summed up by her mother.
This time, she found a relatively simple example that the teacher explained in class yesterday, found the easy-to-make mistakes, and walked towards Xia Zhi after she was well prepared.
"Xia Zhi, can you excuse me for a moment?"
Shiraishi Rika is still very polite and tries to make her words more approachable. Unfortunately, although she has changed, the direction of her efforts has no effect on conquering Xia Zhi.
"What's up?"
Xia Zhi's unwavering tone made Shiraishi Rika feel like she was talking to an artificial intelligence.
"This is the question...I can't get it right no matter how I calculate it."
Shiraishi Rika suppressed her embarrassment and humbly asked Xia Zhi for advice. Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to his expression. She glanced at the question and her expression became strange.
"You...couldn't be that you didn't attend class yesterday?"
"Well……"
Shiraishi Rika was speechless.
"Teacher Sasaki will cry. She taught this question seriously for the whole class..."
"……terribly sorry."
Why should I apologize? Shiraishi Rika thought.
Xia Zhi took out the scratch paper and pen and started directly from the first step. He took apart each step carefully, just like a real teacher. Watching Xia Zhi continue to do what he knew in his heart every step of the way.
As we went down, although Shiraishi Lihua was smiling on her face, she was already feeling a little bored in her heart. Do you think Guan Gong is boring or not when he plays with a big sword in front of him?
"Okay, that's all what Mr. Sasaki said yesterday. If you still think you have a problem, you can try my solution."
Shiraishi Rika, who was wandering in a daze due to boredom, came back to her senses and looked at Xia Zhi with some surprise.
"Another solution? Does Xia Zhi know it?"
There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but when geniuses appear around you, there is not much real feeling. But an excellent person will not deny a person, especially if he does not know that person. Prejudice means mistakes.
And error means failure.
Excellent people do not necessarily need to have strong abilities, but reducing the occurrence of mistakes is an essential quality of excellent people.
"It's said to be a solution, but it's just a wild method of verification. It can only be used to check the results. Points will be deducted if you write them in the answer column. However, after knowing the results, you can use it to reverse the steps. It is also a way to solve the problem.
Well."
Xia Zhi said in a plain tone, and then demonstrated what he called a wild path on the scratch paper, and the answer he got was exactly the same as the answer to the question. Could it be a coincidence? This question was used by Xia Zhi
The answers to the other two questions gave her answers.
"Xia Zhi-san is so awesome..."
Shiraishi Reika sighed sincerely.
"No, this method has been used in Chinese schools for a long time."
"Eh? I've never heard of this method. If it's been used for a long time, Sasaki-sensei should know about it."
Shiraishi Reika was puzzled.
"I don't know why, this method can completely give the correct answer to this type of question, but there is no scientific basis for it, at least no reliable basis has been found yet. In other words, this solution is wrong, so there is no need
It’s not too late to promote it after thorough research. As for Mr. Sasaki, he may know it. But teaching students this half-baked method is not what a teacher does.”
Xia Zhi explained. In fact, when contacting and using unknown things, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. If there is no problem now, it does not mean that there will be no problem in the future, right?
Shiraishi Lihua nodded and accepted this statement.
"Thank you, classmate Xia Zhi, for teaching me this method."
"Just call me Xia Zhi." Xia Zhi waved his hand.
"...Okay then, Xia Zhitong...Xia Zhijun." She blinked, not used to changing her words yet.
"Don't tell anyone else about this method. If anyone is lazy by relying on this, there will be problems during the exam."
Xia Zhi expressed his worries.
"Then Xia Zhijun isn't worried about me using this method to be lazy?"
Shiraishi Rika was curious, but Natsuki gave the answer naturally.
"As for Shiraishi-san, I guess not. You continue to use this method even though you know it's wrong. This is not the way top students do things. Well, although your image was a bit compromised when you asked me this question just now."
"A top student? It's such an uncomfortable name."
"...You're really weird. Others want to be top students but can't." Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.
"But the word "honor student" sounds like a label, doesn't it? And I hate labels."
When Xia Zhi saw Shiraishi Rika, who was almost synonymous with top students, saying such words, she couldn't help but laugh and cry.
After a moment of silence, Shiraishi Lihua smiled.
"Speaking of which, Xia Zhijun still calls me Shiraishi-san. You have obviously asked me to call you Xia Zhi."
"No... Xia Zhi is my full name. Have you forgotten that I am an international student from China? This is my most recognizable label at the moment. Don't tear it off so easily."
Xia Zhi corrected her matter-of-factly, completely ignoring Shiraishi Lihua's face that suddenly became stiff again.
"In short!" Shiraishi Rika excitedly slapped Xia Zhi's table with both hands and made a loud sound, "From now on Xia Zhijun just call me by my name!"
"No, calling names or something...isn't it a good idea?"
Xia Zhi vaguely remembered that it seemed to be a relatively important matter to address each other by name. Even relatives and friends were sometimes called by their surname instead of their first name.
"It's okay if I say yes!" Shiraishi Rika suddenly became aggressive, and Xia Zhi was a little at a loss.
"Then... Lihua?" Xia Zhi called tentatively, and Shiraishi Lihua nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Shiraishi Rika was stunned. Xia Zhi secretly complained, as expected, nothing good would happen.
"Xia Zhijun, are we friends now?"
"Well, I guess." Generally speaking, if you can have a normal conversation and chat, you can be considered a friend. Oh, that's passerby A. If you are a friend, you need to keep in touch. However, since the two of them are in the same class, they can't keep in touch.
It doesn't matter if you contact me.
"Then, let's exchange email addresses!"
It's just an exchange of emails, what's there to be excited about? Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Rika with sparkling eyes in confusion and nodded.
Because there is no such thing as text messaging in Japan, text messages are delivered by email. Exchanging email addresses is actually no different from exchanging phone numbers.
Gee, Penguin is easier to use. When will Lao Ma become more popular...
"Yoshi!" Shiraishi Lihua clenched her fists.
Xia Zhi wanted to pry open the island girl's head to see what was inside.
"I'll go over to Xia Zhijun first, and we'll talk at noon." Shiraishi Lihua left with a smile, but Xia Zhi always felt that her smile was a little bit different compared to the original mechanical smile.
"Hmm... Illusion, right?" Xia Zhi didn't think about it. It would be better to say that he was too lazy to think about it so much. It was useless anyway. So he continued to read. Nothing could disturb his high spirit of learning.
Shiraishi Reika was sitting in her seat, in a good mood, almost humming a song.
Today can really be said to be a fruitful harvest!
Unexpectedly, using the old method, we ended up talking to each other, and not only that, we also became friends!
Sure enough, mother’s life experience is a very useful and precious thing!
The problem that had been bothering her for almost a month was solved! Shiraishi Rika was very satisfied. Although she said something off-topic in the middle that she shouldn't have said, the final result was still good and the process was acceptable, so the goal was achieved!
And I also learned a new problem-solving method. Although it cannot be used as an answer, it is still very useful. So today is a great harvest!
Shiraishi Reika folded her hands and lay on the table.
The classroom door was pushed open, and in came Ryoko Yamamoto.
"Good morning! Xia Zhi."
"Oh, good morning."
"It's still the same cold reaction as always."
However, Yamamoto Ryoko didn't care and walked towards her seat. Then she saw Shiraishi Rika lying on the table.
It's rare that Rika is lazy sometimes. The idea of playing a prank came to Ryoko Yamamoto's mind, and she quietly walked into Rika Shiraishi. Before she could stretch out her prank hand, she heard "Hey hey hey hey..." from Rika Shiraishi..."
A creepy laugh.
Yamamoto Ryoko's hand stopped in mid-air as if some savior in golden clothes shouted "Smash Varudo!"
