Chapter 187: Sister Taught Me All These
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was rubbernecking when the name was announced—they were curious to know who the prodigy was.
The teacher beside Lu Jingzhi was frozen in shock, until he saw Lu Jingzhi hop off his chair and gradually walk towards the stage.
“Oh my god!”
The teacher exclaimed in astonishment as he looked upon the small figure mounting the steps to the stage.
The audience could no longer keep their calm.
“What! It’s him!?”
He was the youngest among the group. Compared to the other two on the stage, he appeared small; it was truly unbelievable that he had obtained first place.
Lu Ning took a video with her phone, ready to send it to Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi after it was over.
The emcee gawked in surprise.
“Lu Jingzhi?”
She called out, seemingly to confirm his identity, and Lu Jingzhi looked up at her.
“This way, please stand here.”
The emcee smiled and pointed out the position to him; Lu Jingzhi went over obediently, looking at the crowd below the stage with his big, bright eyes. He saw his sister in the audience, moving around to find a good angle to take a video of him.
Lu Jingzhi could not help but smile at her.
The presenter handed the trophy and prize reward to Lu Jingzhi, a little worried that he would not be able to hold it. After all, that trophy was bigger than his face.
Seeing that he was having a hard time, the emcee said, “Pass the prize reward to your parents, we’ll take a photo with just the trophy.”
Since his teacher was still in a daze, Lu Ning had no choice but to get up and walk over to take the prize reward.
As she was wearing a hat and a mask, no one could see her face clearly. However, from her attire it was obvious that she was not old, and probably the child’s sister.
Lu Ning returned to her seat. She watched as Lu Jingzhi took a photo with the two other winners before leaving the stage.
After leaving the stage, someone stopped Lu Jingzhi; it was Li Heng, the runner-up winner.
He lowered his head to look at Lu Jingzhi. “Can you tell me how you solved the last question?”
He saw Lu Jingzhi’s answers. His handwriting might be childish, but that did not reflect on his line of thinking while solving the questions; he realized that Lu Jingzhi’s methods for solving the questions were very different from what he learned. The answers Lu Jingzhi wrote were simple and concise, with a very clear thread of thought from beginning to end. On the other hand, while his own answers also had a beginning and an end, their lines of reasoning were circuitous and roundabout, akin to a ball of yarn unwound haphazardly across the floor.
And he would humbly ask for advice from his fellow students, even one younger than him.
Looking up at him, Lu Jingzhi did not say anything aside from one thing.
“Sister taught me all these. The question structures are similar.”
He directly passed the baton to Lu Ning, who was still sending a video to Shen
Yunci.
It was not until Lu Jingzhi brought Li Heng over that Lu Ning looked over at them in confusion.
“Sister, he’s looking for you.”
Lu Ning raised her gaze to look at Li Heng. “What’s the matter?”
Li Heng looked at the girl in front of him; he could only see her clear eyes from under all that clothing.
Furrowing his brows, Li Heng said, “I want to know the solution method you taught him, it’s very different from what I learned. Can you teach me too?”
Startled, Lu Ning looked towards Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi had already walked to the side to speak with his teacher.
Lu Ning:
What solution? What method?
Hoping not to dampen his desire for learning, she looked at him and spoke, trying to be as gentle as she could, “It’s a little inconvenient now since it’s so crowded. Why don’t I add you on WeChat and explain to you in detail when I get back?”
Li Heng thought for a moment and nodded. He ran off to fetch his brother’s phone, and returned.
Then, after Lu Ning added him on WeChat, he thanked her politely.
Lu Ning smiled at him. “Thank me when I’ve really taught you something. Bye now.”
Li Heng glanced at Lu Ning and dashed off..
