Genius Basic Law

Like the fish from the deep blue sea suddenly jumps out of the water and discovers the brightly shining sun.

When she hears of Pei Zhi’s name, Lin Zhao Xi’s heart beats faster, and she feels vaguely happy. She sits in her seat, twirls her pen, and draws a little man holding a card on the white paper in front of her.

Others are starting to get excited about the discussion.

“Asking Pei Zhi to solve the problem, if it takes male god within 3 seconds to answer then it is suitable to be the major finale, isn’t it?”

“If it takes more than five seconds then is it too difficult?”

“What if it takes Pei Zhi too long?” The curly-haired boy lowers his voice, and then he replies himself, “Oh, that would be impossible.”

“Old Zhang this time is good at criticizing first before praising.”

(The original was “老张这波先抑后扬吹的有水平。”)

The more these people in the Student Union chat, the happier they become, and quickly it turns into giving Pei Zhi the whole set of questions to solve.

Lin Zhao Xi says: “In fact, we can ask a teacher…”

But speaking of Pei Zhi, she herself is not quite confident, her weak tone is quickly drowned in the people’s excited discussion. She can only give up, although she is looking forward to watching Pei Zhi defeat the intellectual test by Bai Cao in an instant.

But actually looking for Pei Zhi?

Lin Zhao Xi thinks, if she is asked to go, she will certainly be afraid.

“The question is, who is going to ask Pei Zhi?” Soon after, these people also realize that, although it sounds interesting, no one dares to go.

Just as Lin Zhao Xi is about to repeat her offer to find a teacher, she hears someone say: “Let’s draw lots!”

These three words are life-saving, effectively make everyone approve. Small pieces of paper are made instantly and piled up in the middle of the conference table. A group of people pick the pieces, the paper pile is quickly reduced.

Lin Zhao Xi holds a piece, her palm turns slightly damp, the white piece of paper is almost transparent under the sunlight, in the end she cannot tell what kind of mood of hers. She and Pei Zhi have been classmates (“同学” is not actually “classmate” but more like someone you study with. As pronounce it can also refer to students/ fellow friends) since elementary school, junior high school to high school and then to college, they have studied in different classes of the same schools for 16 years.

It can be destined, but then there is no intersection. She has looked at Pei Zhi all this time, become a witness of his life from the outside, witnessed him grow from the extraordinary young boy to the extremely outstanding young man.

And now…

Lin Zhao Xi looks at the piece of paper in her palm. If there is Pei Zhi’s name on it, isn’t it the first time there is an intersection in their lives?

With her unexplainably subtle mood, she opens the piece of paper. The paper is pure white, empty, and there is nothing on it.

Her mind goes blank for a while. Then she slightly sighs, feels very calm, thinks it should be like that. There is nothing like what Old Lin said – Anything in this world can happen to anyone. For example, she and Pei Zhi cannot have this coincident intersection.

She is sad yet relieved to think so, and as she put the paper in her pocket, the conference room turns silent, and all eyes are drawn to her. Lin Zhao Xi is very confused; therefore, she turns to what everyone is looking at.

She turns her head and sees the girl who had previously shared the material with her.

The girl grip tightly on the top of table, twists her body, and she looks extremely nervous.

“Shen Mei?” An Xiao Xiao suddenly speaks, “Did you get it?”

Shen Mei shrinks at the question.

“Little Mei Mei, hehehe.” Someone smiles.

“I…” Shen Mei nods slowly like a robot “I… I don’t want to go.”

“Are you afraid of asking Pei Zhi?”

She is already innocent in appearance, when she hears of Pei Zhi, she blushes.

“How can our Shen Mei be so shy!”

Having heard that, Shen Mei’s face gets redder as if dripping blood.

This looks like she is really having a crush on Pei Zhi, making someone in the conference room smile: “What a great opportunity, we will support you!”

“Well, there’s nothing to be embarrassed, I also like Pei Zhi.”

“Old Zhang you don’t need to act gay!”

Shen Mei explains with a tiny voice: “No… I don’t like…”

Lin Zhao Xi looks at her, and all of a sudden, she understands her feelings very well. Shen Mei may not even have a crush on Pei Zhi, it’s just all types of admiration and fondness mixing, having the most secretive thoughts in her heart revealed, making her confused, and she does not know what to do.

“Is it because of your boyfriend? Ah, no problems, we won’t tell him.” An Xiao Xiao says unexpectedly.

Shen Mei is startled by her, her eyes are filled with tears, she pleadingly looks at An Xiao Xiao.

“Fine.” Lin Zhao Xi suddenly interrupts An Xiao Xiao.

“I’ll go.” She tells An Xiao Xiao, quietly gives Shen Mei a tissue from under the table and gently holds her hand.

Shen Mei offers her a grateful look, and Lin Zhao Xi freezes.

Wait, what did she just say?
