The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

Lin Xi was speechless. It seemed that she still didn't believe it and wondered what Aunt Liu had done before.

Fine, believe it or not.

She took out two jellies from her backpack. They were actually pistachios she bought from the system, the kind that make people happy. She had used them to soothe a crying little boy before.

He opened one and ate it himself, then handed another one to the girl.

"Try it, it's delicious."

The girl shook her head. "I have no appetite."

Lin Xi finally understood Liu Pei's predicament. It's really hard to coax someone with depression; they lose interest in everything.

"I'll leave after you finish eating."

She could tell that the girl just wanted to be alone.

Sure enough, even though I was very reluctant, I ate it anyway.

Lin Xi kept her promise, "Aunt Liu, you stay with Sister Xiaojing first. I'll go back with the teacher now, and we'll talk on the phone later."

Liu Pei felt a little embarrassed and escorted Lin Xi and the other person downstairs. He only turned around and went upstairs after they got into the car.

When she returned, she found her daughter sobbing uncontrollably. She panicked and cried, "Xiaojing, I'm sorry, Mom was wrong. I won't bring anyone over again, okay?"

"No, Mom, that jelly is so delicious..."

After that, Liu Pei went to every supermarket in Beijing and bought all kinds of jelly, but her daughter took one bite and spat it out, saying that the taste was wrong and the feeling was not right.

But Liu Pei didn't realize that something was really wrong. She thought her daughter only found the jelly delicious because it had been prepared by Lin Xi. She couldn't possibly ask Lin Xi to come all the way here just to bring her daughter the jelly...

The next morning, Lin Xi and her companion arrived at the venue to await the results.

The hall, which was empty yesterday, is now decorated in a magnificent style, with huge posters, an exquisite stage, and cameras everywhere.

Staff members were busy around the venue, and reporters were all setting up their equipment.

In the past, the results were announced on the screen, but today the host announced them.

Lin Xi found the process cumbersome and, seeing that it wasn't her business, simply took out a book and started reading.

Sigh, my IQ isn't high enough, so I'm trying to make up for it with hard work. I'm already struggling to read one book a day.

Su Youcai felt sorry for his students when he saw them engrossed in their studies. Apart from eating and sleeping, he never put down his books whenever he had time.

Maybe we should let her rest at home for a day tomorrow.

Lin Xi: It's no use. Unless the system doesn't give me any rewards, I'll study until I die.

The awards ceremony had already begun on stage, with the host reading out the names one by one, from fifth to tenth place.

The parents and students in the audience were a little nervous, except for the calm and collected Su Youcai and the Lin Xi who was fully focused on her studies.

Lin Zixuan came in third place and was giving a speech when he noticed Lin Xi in the audience looking down and not paying any attention to him. Feeling a little disappointed, he said a few words and then went downstairs.

The host began announcing the second-place winner. Su Youcai, who had been brimming with confidence, became a little nervous, constantly rubbing his thumb. After hearing the name, he smiled knowingly. Champion! It's in the bag!

Lin Xi couldn't possibly fail to get a ranking; she could only be number one.

"Congratulations to Lin Xi for winning first place in the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad!"

Su Youcai clapped his hands with a grin while nudging Lin Xi, who was still looking down at her book, with his elbow.

"Wait, wait, just one last step."

This scene was also captured by the camera, and several cameramen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Su Youcai saw the camera pointed at him, he laughed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Xiao Xi, get up and accept your award!"

Lin Xi looked up and saw that everyone in the room, including the host, was looking at her.

Her fair face flushed red instantly, and she walked awkwardly to the podium.

The host handed her the microphone, "Can you tell us what you were looking at just now?"

"Reading a book."

Host: We know you're reading a book, but what kind of book are you reading?

The host took back the microphone, made a few words to smooth things over, and then steered the conversation to the awards ceremony.

As a result, Lin Xi saw the local earth god from yesterday wearing a suit and walking towards her with a smile.

She was stunned. What was going on? What era was this? These important figures were still going on incognito visits.

What did she say yesterday?

Was he spouting nonsense?

Wang Anshi: But without traveling incognito, how would I know you don't recognize me?

Lin Xi accepted the trophy in a daze.

Her exam paper appeared on the big screen, with the densely packed solution process for the last question magnified.

Everyone who saw the font exclaimed in amazement, and reporters frantically pressed the shutter.

Host: "Mr. Wang, please tell us about it. I won't presume to teach you."

Wang Anshi took the microphone, his face full of admiration, "Her solution to this problem is the most comprehensive, involving knowledge from elementary, middle, and high school levels. The last solution even touches on university-level calculus..."

The students who took the exam in the same room as Lin Xi yesterday were as surprised as they were yesterday.

Is he even human? He's only nine years old! He already knows university-level knowledge.

Lin Xi stood on the stage, receiving the gazes of the crowd, feeling slightly embarrassed. Finally, at the last step, she casually said a few words of reflection and hurriedly stepped off the stage.

After the event, all the contestants were required to come on stage for a group photo. Lin Xi was pushed to the very center, and this photo of her with a furrowed brow was preserved forever.

By the time the next batch of students came to participate, Lin Xi had become an insurmountable legend. Everyone who looked at the photo thought the god was really handsome.

When taking photos, he unconsciously imitated Lin Xi's expression.

As a result, no champion could ever leave the stage with a smile afterward.

This was the happiest time of day for Lin Xi, because she received a bonus of 20,000 yuan, which was definitely worth it.

But the happiest thing is about to happen.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for winning first place in the National Primary School Mathematical Olympiad! You are rewarded with one lottery draw.]

Wow, it's been so long since I participated in a prize draw! She missed her monthly exam because she was in a competition last time, which caused her to lose a chance to win a prize, and she still regrets it to this day.

She couldn't wait any longer and immediately closed her eyes to draw a prize. The result was... well, not so much.

[A pair of Boxing Champion Gloves: Wearing them will automatically teach you boxing techniques. Practice daily to acquire master-level boxing skills.]

What's wrong? You think you're not cool enough when you're boxing?

Xiao Yi: "Host, if one day you don't have time to drink the Power Spinach Juice, you will at least have some self-protection ability."

"Okay, Xiao Yi, you're right."

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Anshi came in through the door. "Lin Xi, would you like to have a chat?"

Before Lin Xi could reply, Su Youcai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

The three of them arrived at an empty conference room. Lin Xi thought to herself, "Is this a case of settling scores?" But she hadn't gone too far, had she? After all, he was the one who provoked her first.

Unexpectedly, the old man immediately said, "Little girl, become my disciple!"

Lin Xi: Old man, you're being a bit presumptuous.

"Sorry, I already have a master."

Wang Anshi's eyelids twitched. "Who is it?"

"Professor Fu Wenyuan."

He stroked his chin for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Isn't he a writer?"

Seeing Lin Xi nod, he smiled and said, "I teach mathematics, so it doesn't conflict with his teaching."

"But I don't plan to pursue a career in mathematics."

By the time I reached the third year of junior high, my intelligence was no longer sufficient; I simply wasn't cut out for it.

That's what she thought and that's what she said: "I'm not cut out for this."

Wang Anshi's lips twitched. "If you're not cut out for this, then who is? Second place, huh?"
