Chapter 153: Pretenders Meet Pretenders (33, plus more)
Yan Xiaoxi accidentally let the cat out of the bag, turned around and looked at her cousin beside her quietly, then saw her face full of meaning, pursed her lips and replied in a squeaky voice: "We are just ordinary friends, not boyfriends."

"Okay, I see." My cousin responded softly and continued driving silently.

Yan Xiaoxi curled her lips and said seriously: "Sister, I am serious. We are just friends. Please don't misunderstand me."

"I know. You don't need to explain so much to me." My cousin still had that meaningful look on her face, as if what she just said was just a response to someone.

"what--"

Yan Xiaoxi drove herself crazy, and said angrily: "What's wrong with my boyfriend? I... I'm an adult, don't treat me like a child anymore."

Anxious
There's no need to push the girl, she'll push herself into a corner.

The cousin smiled slightly, glanced at her angry sister, and said unhappily: "I haven't said anything yet, but you've pushed yourself into a corner. You haven't changed at all. No need to interrogate you about any bad things you've done in the past. I only need to watch you quietly and you'll confess."

Yan Xiaoxi rolled her eyes and didn't say much. She pouting her little scarlet mouth, her brows full of resentment towards her cousin.

"What kind of family is the other party from?" asked the cousin indifferently.

Yan Xiaoxi suddenly became nervous. Although she was only a cousin, she had a lot of say in the family. Sometimes her opinion could represent the family's opinion. She quickly replied, "The family is quite wealthy. His parents are in the chemical industry. His grandfather and grandfather-in-law both served in the army. They are serious old revolutionaries."

"Um"

"What about your boyfriend? What's his situation?" asked my cousin.

Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips and said seriously, "He is a super academic genius who is more talented than me. Last month, in the Shenhai city-wide senior high school entrance exam, I scored 745 points and he scored 743 points. In fact, he should be three points higher than me. He also wants to be a scientist. He wants to be a physical scientist just like me."

After hearing this, my cousin was basically satisfied and said softly, "That's good. At least the two of us have something in common."

"sister?"

"Do you think grandpa and grandma will agree?" Yan Xiaoxi asked in a low voice.

"What can I do if you don't agree? You will cry, make a scene, and finally agree." My cousin laughed unhappily, "Alright, alright. Put away your little thoughts. Don't think I don't know what you think. I neither agree nor refuse this matter. You can do it yourself."

Yan Xiaoxi pursed her lips, edited the WeChat message openly, and said casually: "I'm just asking casually. Anyway, I won't listen to any of your suggestions. It's up to you to do whatever you want. I want him, no one else can help me."

"You damn girl."

The cousin was so angry that she laughed. She stretched out her hand and pinched her arm fiercely, saying angrily: "You are taking advantage of your youngest generation to do whatever you want."

"That's what it is."

"Anyway, I will never compromise on this matter!" Yan Xiaoxi said angrily, "If you don't agree with my idea, I will go abroad immediately and never come back."

"Nonsense!"

The cousin glared at her and said seriously, "Don't say such things in the future."

"Humph"

"Partial talk!"

Yan Xiaoxi was not afraid. She continued to argue with her cousin with her neck stiff, saying, "It's just like that anyway."

The cousin didn't say much and continued driving home. In fact, she was on Yan Xiaoxi's side, but she couldn't express it. First, she was worried that things would get worse, and second, she was afraid that the little girl would have someone to rely on and become even more unscrupulous.

"sister"

"Don't tell anyone." Yan Xiaoxi warned.

My cousin nodded and said softly, "But don't be naughty, and don't do anything stupid."

"Oh"

Yan Xiaoxi muttered something and continued to message someone.

at the same time,

Chen Xiaoxin is staying in the dormitory arranged by Peking University, which may be intentional. The room Chen Xiaoxin lives in is a single apartment with everything available. Later, Chen Xiaoxin searched on the Internet and found out that this is a high-end standard.

After sending messages to the beautiful top student, Chen Xiaoxin lay on the bed in a daze, and then opened the system panel.

【Name: Chen Xiaoxin】

[Intelligence: 102 (ordinary people)]

[Physical Strength: 81 (Ordinary People)]

[Agility: 82 (Ordinary People)]

[Student skills: Classical Chinese (Lv1, improves classical Chinese level), Basic Mathematics (Lv1, improves basic mathematics level), Basic Physics (Lv1, improves basic physics level), Modern Literature (Lv1, improves modern literature level), Basic Written English (Lv1, improves written English level), Basicization.]

[Assisted skills: Neural Perception (Lv1, improves the perception of the surroundings), Kirin Arm (Lv2, improves hand speed), Brain Overclocking (Lv1, improves brain frequency), Comprehensive Body (Lv1, improves physical strength)]

[Fish value: 23000]

After a little thought and calm analysis, Chen Xiaoxin made the final decision.

[Do you want to upgrade the level of "Basic Mathematics" (Lv1-Lv2)? ]

[Cost: 20000 (slacking value)]

[Congratulations: "Basic Mathematics" level (Lv1-Lv2)]

Chen Xiaoxin had no choice but to do this. If he wanted to improve his basic physics, he had to first reach the requirement of basic mathematics level 2. But it was understandable. He just didn't quite understand what the gap between level 1 and level 2 was.

"What's going on?" "I felt like I had a brain before. But now it doesn't?" Chen Xiaoxin sat on the bed in a daze, his eyes blank and his face full of confusion.

What the hell
Could it be that I was cheated?
Chen Xiaoxin looked at the system panel carefully, and it was indeed level two, with a critical intelligence of 105. Unconvinced, he knocked on his head, just like he knocked on the TV when he was a child, and the picture became blurry. He thought it would be better after two knocks, but his head was almost broken, and he still didn't feel like he had grown a brain, only headache.

Don't panic
Be steady!
I'll take a nap first!
"Traffic jam"

"You also know that the traffic in the capital has always been like this."

Yan Xiaoxi, who was half an hour late, looked at the big bad guy with a face full of resentment and squeaked, "Alright, alright. Stop looking so stern. Can't I just say I was wrong?"

However, that person did not appreciate it until Yan Xiaoxi used her ultimate move and gently kissed him on the face, which made Chen Xiaoxin forgive her.

"Humph!"

"Smelly man!"

Yan Xiaoxi, with a blushing face, glared at him fiercely, then walked towards the venue without looking back. Seeing this, Chen Xiaoxin happily followed her.

The so-called mathematics exchange summit is actually just listening to a few big guys on the stage chatting about the cutting-edge directions in mathematics. Halfway through the conversation, student representatives below ask questions, and then there is a tea break in the middle for everyone to communicate with each other, and that’s basically it.

As soon as Chen Xiaoxin arrived at the venue, he looked everywhere for a tea break. And then he actually found it. Fortunately, Yan Xiaoxi, who was thin-skinned, held him tightly and did not embarrass him.

at this time,

Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick sat in the corner, quietly waiting for the mathematics summit to begin.

More and more people began to gather. Then Chen Xiaoxin discovered that everyone had a badge on their chest, but he and Yan Xiaoxi had nothing. It felt like a ragtag army meeting a regular army. They had already lost in terms of identity alone.

Student representatives from seven or eight 985 universities including Peking University, Beijing University, University of Science and Technology of China, and Beijing Institute of Technology gathered together.

hiss.
So humble!

I don’t feel worthy enough to take a tea break.

"what?"

"classmate?"

"Which university are you two from?"

A Beijing University student representative who was sitting next to Chen Xiaoxin saw that Chen Xiaoxin's chest was empty and asked curiously.

"I we"

Chen Xiaoxin smiled awkwardly and replied in a low voice: "I was listening in. I sneaked in."

"what?"

"Oh it's good."

The representative of the Beijing University students smiled and said, "It seems that you two also like mathematics."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Chen Xiaoxin smiled naively.

at this time,

A student from Beijing Institute of Technology who was sitting in front of him turned around and looked at the student from Beijing University, his brows full of disdain, and said, "Why do I see you everywhere?"

"how?"

"Can't you?"

The Beijing University student smiled generously and said, "What's so surprising about this? On the contrary, I was quite surprised to see you here. I heard that one of your papers was rejected?"

“It’s a modification!”

"How could I be rejected? Even if I am rejected, I still have a paper in Zone 2 of Mathematics." The BIT student said proudly, "As for you, although you have two papers, it's a pity that they are both in Zone 3. Even in terms of impact factor, you are not as good as me."

The Beijing University student smiled and replied calmly, "I'm sorry. I just submitted a paper in Zone 1 last month. Even if you have five Zone 2 papers, they won't be as good as my Zone 1 paper."

Not
What are these two people doing?
Could it be an academic fight?
Chen Xiaoxin didn't understand what they were talking about, but judging from their tone and expressions, they were probably showing off to each other. No one was willing to give in.

"Vote for District 1?"

"I submit my applications every day, what's the point?" The student from Beijing Institute of Technology said unhappily, "You liked to brag when you were in high school, but you didn't expect that you would become even worse in college."

"It's useless for you to vote in zone one, that's because you're not strong enough. It's useful for me to vote in zone one, because I'm stronger than you." The Beijing University student said calmly, "Besides, I never boasted when I was in high school. Even if I did, I achieved it. I said I would get 700 without preparation and I got 700. You said you would get 700 without preparation and I only got 698."

finished,

Facing the idiot Chen Xiaoxin next to him, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry for disturbing you two. There's nothing I can do. The other person from Beijing Institute of Technology is all crazy."

"classmate!"

"Don't talk to him, stupidity is contagious!" the BIT student said to Chen Xiaoxin earnestly.

Chen Xiaoxin had an embarrassed look on his face, then smiled at the two of them, complaining in his heart that the academic world was so scary, ten thousand times more terrifying than the world of academic tyrants!
In the world of top students, what matters is scores and grades, while in the academic world, what matters is articles and impact factors.

but
Chen Xiaoxin still leaned close to Yan Xiaoxi's ear and asked cautiously:
"Hehe."

"Are these two pretending to be cool?"
