Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "You probably just miss my snacks. I brought some this time and put them in the dorm. After lunch, we can go back and you can have some."
"By the way, there’s a math competition in December. Are you joining, Zhu Yanyi? If so, sign up with the homeroom teacher," Luo Kun said directly.
Zhu Yanyi had heard about it from Yan Aohan yesterday, so she nodded. "Of course. You always call me a top student. How could I miss this? Plus, winning adds points to the college entrance exam."
"Right," Luo Kun nodded. "Many in our class signed up. I wonder if the results will be good."
"Did you sign up too?" Zhu Yanyi guessed her meaning.
"Not just me. Our whole dorm signed up. Even Ma Yaya, the chemistry genius, joined," Luo Kun answered seriously. Then her eyes twinkled as she looked at Zhu Yanyi. She felt a bit uneasy. "What do you want to say? Just say it directly. No need to beat around the bush."
Luo Kun giggled. "You asked for it. Here goes." She coughed, exchanged glances with the others, and said, "Zhu Yanyi, as a top student, shouldn’t you help your roommates grow and improve their studies?"
Zhu Yanyi understood. She looked at Luo Kun and the others, amused. "You just want me to tutor you, right?"
"Yes. Math needs logical thinking. Who else would we ask?" Luo Kun said, acting like it was natural for friends.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Fine. Practice some problems yourselves first. On weekends, I’ll find questions for you. Keep practicing. Math competitions are about solving many problems. Once you’ve seen all types, you won’t get stuck."
"Great. It’s a deal. Our future depends on you, Zhu Yanyi," Luo Kun said, patting her shoulder like a buddy.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at her helplessly but smiled silently. Being a student was truly happy. That’s why people felt such joy then. Many famous people later said their happiest times were in school. It was true. Only in school could one feel such pure happiness.
Since returning, Zhu Yanyi caused little stir after the first day’s shock. Her midterm scores were too good. Teachers tolerated her reading other books in class. She had mastered their key points. If she didn’t read, it would waste her time. A few stubborn teachers occasionally tested her with random questions. She answered them perfectly and cleverly. Eventually, they lost interest in troubling her.
