Li Yang sat under the solar lamp by the roadside, scratching his head from time to time.
The amount of information he had to digest in a single day was overwhelming, he simply couldn't remember it all.
Getting into a top university isn't just about passing the college entrance exams; the entrance exams also present a significant hurdle.
Every year, some students get rejected due to poor performance on entrance exams. He can't wait another year.
He has no idea what next year's college entrance exam questions will be.
Jiang Banxia had been standing at the entrance to the teaching building for ten minutes.
A dozen meters away, a figure under the streetlamp was flipping through books, scratching his head, writing...
The three actions formed a cycle.
When Li Yang left, he deliberately took his review materials, indicating he likely knew why the homeroom teacher called him, and he had no plans to return.
Clearly, if he just told me, with my influence, keeping him would have been no problem.
As a result, it left me waiting in the office for a long time.
She even thought it through; as long as Li Yang came in, she would support him and drive Wang Manqi away.
She was a very introverted person, not liking to interact with strangers.
She slowly walked over until her shadow blocked the review materials, making Li Yang look up.
Under the light, Jiang Banxia bent slightly, her hair draped over her front, hands resting on her knees, her face radiating an overflowing pure smile.
"Li Yang, you left quietly without even saying goodbye?"
Li Yang said innocently, "I wanted to, but the homeroom teacher wouldn't let me in at all."
To change the topic, he continued, "The after-hours class isn't over yet, right? Why are you out here?"
He glanced at Jiang Banxia; those legs were really long.
Walking together, he didn't feel it, because his legs were long too.
Jiang Banxia said gloomily, "I wasn't really interested in the after-hours class, but everyone wanted me to do it, so I did... You understand, right?"
Li Yang nodded, "I don't get it, I just saw someone pretending."
Jiang Banxia was stunned at first, then understood.
"That... forget it, do you still want me to explain the questions? If you want, I..."
Jiang Banxia took out her phone to check the time, "I can explain for another twenty minutes, then I have to go back."
Li Yang immediately said, "An opportunity like this doesn't come easy! After all, I promised to help you in the future; we're making a fair trade."
Jiang Banxia simply sat beside Li Yang, letting him point out the questions he couldn't solve.
As Li Yang outlined the questions, she asked casually, "You knew the homeroom teacher deliberately sent you away, so why did you go? Was it to give Wang Manqi a chance?"
Li Yang didn't even look up, replying, "No."
Jiang Banxia pressed, "Was it out of respect for the teacher who brought Wang Manqi?"
"Even less likely. Have you heard the saying? The nice guy ranks after the sycophant; he's a level below me, why should I respect him?"
Jiang Banxia cautiously asked, "So are you Wang Manqi's sycophant?"
"No, I'm Yin Zhiping."
"Huh?"
Li Yang handed the questions he had circled to Jiang Banxia and sighed, "If you want to hear gossip, after the college entrance exams, you can hear whatever you like. Right now, please help me with the questions; if I get into college, you won't have to pay at my celebration feast."
Jiang Banxia chuckled, "Alright, and I won't require you to chip in either."
"Haha, well that's uncertain. If I get into a second-tier university, my family will throw a feast, but you... unless it's Qingbei, everyone will be disappointed; there's no hope for a celebration feast, better to honestly repeat a year."
After Li Yang finished, he clearly felt Jiang Banxia's hand tremble slightly when accepting the review materials.
But he didn't pay it much mind; being a top student isn't easy, with countless expectations on her, it's normal for her stress to be greater.
In her past life, she performed normally, missing Qingbei by just a few points, showing that these pressures didn't faze her much.
Educational quality in Jiang City was already mediocre, getting into Qingbei depended entirely on luck.
"If I don't pass, I won't repeat the year, just find any school."
Jiang Banxia murmured as she took the review materials.
Perhaps the whole world has confidence in her, except she doesn't have confidence in herself.
Looking at the questions Li Yang marked, there were all types, and behind each question before there was a bunch of formulas written.
To improve scores in a short time, reading isn't helpful. The best way is to practice questions.
By doing all types of questions, theoretically, one can cover the college entrance exam's scope.
But it's only in theory; actual exams vary more, without exceptionally proficient memory and adaptability, even doing many questions might lead to a blank mind during the exam.
The college entrance exam questions won't follow the order of existing question types' knowledge points; one question tests more than one knowledge point.
There are over three to five hundred math knowledge points, and combining any two points forms a question, emerging in hundreds of thousands; combining any three points forms millions.
Thus, math questions are endless, at most 20% of the college entrance exam content are questions done before, the other 80% requires thinking.
What Li Yang lacked most was time, achieving all that in such a short time was virtually impossible.
"This question mainly requires finding the derivative to determine whether it's monotonic increasing or decreasing... By the way, can you understand the concept of a function?"
Jiang Banxia asked concernedly, as many high school graduates don't understand what a function means.
Li Yang replied, "I just haven't studied much, it's not that I'm stupid, one look and I'll understand..."
Jiang Banxia: "..."
...
The after-hours class finished.
More than thirty students flowed out. Wang Manqi was at the back, gaining a lot. Even in just an hour, she witnessed the capabilities of these science geniuses.
After Jiang Banxia left midway, she could only seek help from other boys, but the result was... those boys were exceptionally enthusiastic.
The way they explained the questions was clearer and more understandable than Huang Zhigang's.
"Wang Manqi, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me anytime. I'm Liu Wenxuan from Class 17, just call out for me at the door."
A boy with slicked-back hair, upon seeing Wang Manqi leave, bravely called out.
After saying this, he immediately awaited Wang Manqi's response with an expectant yet shy look.
Wang Manqi hesitated, "Won't that disturb your studying?"
"It's no bother, I've already finished studying."
Wang Manqi responded happily, "Mm, see you tomorrow then."
This one sentence had the boy with slicked-back hair thinking of future baby names.
After Wang Manqi turned and left the office, she prepared to find more questions to ask him to explain tomorrow.
But... what was his name again?
Seemed to have lots of acne, a strong body odor...
At this moment, a boy appeared walking towards her, fresh-looking, even in the summer giving a refreshing feeling.
"Li Yang, why did you come looking for me? To apologize? It's too late now!"
