Cultivation Department Shura Field

Chapter 64 Silence
After dinner, Xu Zhe returned to his bedroom.But as soon as he sat down at the desk, his mother pulled him up again.

"Feifei came to play with you just now, but her father took her back for dinner. Now, she should have almost finished eating, so you can go and play with her. Don't sit here and study all day, it's not good for your health..."

In this way, Xu Zhe was kicked out of the house by his mother.

He arrived at the door of Tang Lingfei's house and was about to press the doorbell when he heard a slightly high-pitched female voice inside.

"...The teacher said you are not good at listening! You are distracted in school and in tutoring classes. Why can't you study hard? Are you studying for me?"

That was Tang Lingfei's mother.

Xu Zhe sighed, turned and left.

Now is obviously not the right time to come and disturb someone.

He walked out of the community alone and walked aimlessly, gradually arriving near the school.At this time, he suddenly remembered a certain entertainment item and walked towards the billiard hall.

Entering the billiards hall, Xu Zhe subconsciously looked at the counter, but did not see Shen Lan.

Sitting in the billiard hall tonight is a man with long hair.His hair is longer than Shen Lan's, but he has an indescribable masculine temperament, not feminine at all.

If you look a little closer, you can see that there are visible wrinkles on this man's face. He is obviously not young, but there is still an indescribable coolness between his eyebrows - which is reminiscent of Chen Haonan in the movie.

He raised his head and glanced at it and said, "Little brother, is he playing ball alone?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Please open a table for me. By the way, I want to ask, are you the boss here?"

The man smiled and said, "Yes, I am the boss, what's the problem?"

Xu Zhe: "It's okay."

The table lights were on.The man stood up and went over, placed the ball in place, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and took out a cigarette from it.When he returned behind the counter, he had already lit the cigarette and had it in his mouth.

Xu Zhe looked away, picked a club, and started playing ball silently.

If Shen Lan were here right now, she would definitely be promoting her personal coaching courses.But after observation, Xu Zhe felt that he no longer needed her guidance for the time being.Now if you want to continue to improve your level, you just need to practice more and become more accurate.

Xu Zhe drove the ball by himself, missed the second shot, and sent a colored ball into the hole with the third shot.

The crisp sound when the colorful ball entered the hole made Xu Zhe feel a sense of relief, as if he had killed an elite monster in a game.

The next day, Sunday morning, the students from the competition group came to the classroom again.

After collecting everyone's homework yesterday, Teacher Lu quickly completed the corrections.Then, she glanced at Xu Zhe, her expression a little tangled.

But she didn't talk about the difficult points right away.Instead, I started from the first question and explained the first three questions in yesterday's homework.Then it’s the fourth question’s turn…

"It's time to talk about yesterday's last question. No one did this last question up to the requirements. Other students didn't do it, but Xu Zhe, you!"

At this point, Teacher Lu paused.

The eyes of other people around him were focused on Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe felt a little guilty: "What I did... didn't meet the requirements?"

Teacher Lu: “This is the Junior High School Mathematical Olympiad, and calculus is not allowed!”

After the words fell, there was silence in the classroom.

Outside the window, the wind blew through the branches of the trees on campus, leaving a faint sound of leaves.Sunlight streamed in through the glass, dimming the light tubes on the ceiling.

The old teacher's thick lenses reflected the stunned faces of the other seniors.

Xu Zhe scratched the back of his head: "Uh, sorry..."

Teacher Lu suddenly laughed: "You are only in the first year of junior high school. Where did you learn calculus? Did you learn it by yourself?"

Of course Xu Zhe could only say: "Yes, self-study."

Teacher Lu: "You are so awesome! Don't be nervous, I'm just praising you. But praise is praise. You have to understand that for this competition we signed up for, you really can't use over-the-top problem solving methods. Do you understand?" Xu Zhe: "I understand, teacher."

Teacher Lu smiled and said: "Sit down and listen to the class carefully with everyone. It's not a bad thing to learn a lot in advance, but don't be arrogant and complacent. You must listen carefully and understand the Olympiad's problem-solving ideas."

----

Near noon, Teacher Lu assigned homework again and announced that get out of class was over.Because the next class is next Saturday, the amount of questions in this homework will be more - three DIY versions of teacher Zhanglu's small test papers, twelve questions.

As soon as the old teacher left, the students packed their things and prepared to leave.At this moment, Xu Zhe noticed that there was a figure in front of him.

Looking up, it was Shen Lan.

The short-haired senior student looked curious: "When did you learn calculus by yourself?"

Xu Zhe found a universal time period: "Last summer vacation."

Shen Lan: "Why do you want to learn this?"

Xu Zhe started compiling casually: "I like to read books in bookstores. I found some introduction to advanced mathematics and so on, and then I read them for free there."

Shen Lan: "Most people go to bookstores to read either novels or comics, right?"

Xu Zhe was about to speak, but at this moment, another figure appeared next to him.

Wei Junkun tried to interject: "This is a good move. Classmate Shen Lan, do you want to go to the bookstore next time and let's try to learn calculus by ourselves?"

Shen Lan frowned slightly and asked: "There is no exam, and there is no need for the Mathematical Olympiad. Why do you need to learn calculus?"

Wei Junkun subconsciously pointed at Xu Zhe and said, "Didn't he also learn it?"

Xu Zhe: "I am just out of pure interest."

Wei Junkun showed a suspicious look: "Interest? I can still believe that you are interested in general mathematics. Calculus, that is all university knowledge!"

Xu Zhe: "So?"

So aren't you just pretending? Wei Junkun wanted to say this, but faced the eyes of the two people in front of him, he couldn't open his mouth.

After a moment of silence, he could only say "Forget it, I'm leaving first" and turned around to leave.

At this time, only Shen Lan and Xu Zhe were left in the classroom.

Xu Zhe stood up: "By the way, does this classroom need to be locked or something?"

Shen Lan: "Just close the door."

The two left the classroom, closed the door, and walked out of the teaching building.

When he arrived at the school gate, Shen Lan suddenly asked: "Are you interested in many things?"

Xu Zhe turned to look at her: "Indeed, it can be said that I have a wide range of interests and hobbies, which are quite complex anyway."

Shen Lan blinked and smiled like a little fox: "Are you still interested in billiards? Do you want to practice?"

Xu Zhe: "If you want to make money from me, just say so."

"Hahaha……"

The senior's laughter is as hearty as a boy's, but has the crispness and sweetness of a girl, like a shell wind chime under a clear sky.

After laughing, she asked: "So are you going or not?"

Xu Zhe: "Go, but you really don't need to be the coach. I can train by myself."
