Chapter 168: Savage Goes Live

“I took a look at them . The past years had most of their questions about mathematical analysis and advanced algebra . Each occupied thirty percent of the questions . ”

When Yun Xiangxiang came back, Song Mian drew a pie chart for the ratio, “Analytic geometry takes up fifteen percent of the questions, while functions, limits, calculus, and infinite levels all add up to take fifteen percent . ”

Yun Xiangxiang listened carefully . She raised her head when Song Mian paused . “What about the remaining ten percent?”

“This ten percent would be the variable,” Song Mian gave Yun Xiangxiang the past questions .

Yun Xiangxiang discovered that she could not fully answer them after perusing it, “There are blind spots in my knowledge . ”

“They are comprehensive questions . These test you on how much work you did outside of class, as well as problem solving,” Song Mian jotted down a question mark here .

“Math has many branches . The possibilities are infinite if combined . The questions are different every year . There are no patterns there . ”

Yun Xiangxiang picked up the comprehensive questions again and perused them carefully . She was about the same level as Du Jing . This was perhaps the key to victory .

“I can probably solve it if you give me enough time,” Yun Xiangxiang already had an approximation of the path in her mind .

It would be a big project to solve it using all of her math knowledge . One question would maybe eat up all the time in the competition .

“So we can only spread our concentration everywhere,” Song Mian started to tidy up . “Your math’s foundation is solid . Not much you don’t know there . Half a month would be enough to finish everything once if I give you a two hour tuition every day . I want to see how you absorb the knowledge . ”

He had also finished tidying up after that . Leaning forward, he kissed Yun Xiangxiang’s forehead softly, “Sleep early . ”

Yun Xiangxiang did not entangle herself with the questions she did now know . She slept as soon as she hit the bed . There was no class in the first period the next morning . When she did what she needed to do after waking up, she started consolidating the basics she had learned yesterday .

After breakfast, she gave Song Mian a look that said: You know what to do . She insisted on learning one thing from Song Mian before going to school .

She called He Wei on the way to school, telling him that she would not be accepting any jobs before the ad shoot in Italy .

She was busy like a bee every day . Her downtime after class was used to finish homework . Tao Manni and the others avoided disturbing her knowingly .

There was of course no problem with Du Jing’s results after the recheck . Everyone was waiting for the math competition held in early March .

“I can only do eighty percent of the questions,” Yun Xiangxiang handed Song Mian the answer sheet .

She filled all the blind spots in her knowledge bank in ten days . However, that was only limited to the things that she knew about, and how the math worked . All of them were in theory, no practical usage involved .

Song Mian gave her ten questions today . All of them were about the new things she had learned recently .

She could only do eighty percent of them . She did not think she had more than half of them correct .

Song Mian went through Yun Xiangxiang’s answer sheet carefully, “You passed . ”

Yun Xiangxiang solved eight out of ten questions . She answered five questions correctly . The remaining three questions could add up to award her ten marks .

“Really?” Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes lit up .

She was prepared to only get fifty marks . Surprisingly, she got sixty marks . Naturally, she was happy .

“Math One is about knowledge . You have a great memory . I believe you would not forget about it . ” Song Mian took out a question paper he made himself . “Math Two is about practical usage . Do a set every day . I’ll explain the parts you did wrongly . Start from this set today . ”

Yun Xiangxiang quickly sat up straight as she listened to Song Mian’s explanation from the first question she did wrongly .

Song Mian’s phone rang during his explanation . He pressed the speakerphone button, and a hearty voice boomed, “Do you miss me, Mianmian?”

Yun Xiangxiang covered her mouth . She looked at Song Mian, who was unfazed at all . Didn’t think anyone would call him Mianmian!

“One minute please,” Song Mian replied calmly . He did not stop drawing the geometric figure with the pen in his hand .

“Mianmian, you are always so cold to me . Watch out, I may throw myself into someone else’s embrace,” the caller pretended to threaten him .

The voice was too hilarious . Yun Xiangxiang could not hold back her laugh .

“There’s a woman’s voice!” The caller raised their voice in shock . “Wait, you’re in Beijing . Now it’s almost ten at night . You actually still have a woman beside you!”

He also heard a faint laugh . In other words, this woman was close to the phone, which meant she was right beside Song Mian .

“It’s my girlfriend!” Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang with smiles in his eyes .

“Your girlfriend!” The caller raised his voice further . “When did you get yourself a girlfriend?!”

“I gave both of you the heads up,” Song Mian lowered the volume of his phone .

“We thought you were only joking…”

“When have I ever joked with you guys?”

“Erm…,” You never . The caller immediately changed the topic . “Okay okay, let’s put this aside . I discovered a big sprig of Paris polyphylla here . But beasts are aplenty here . Snakes and bugs? Even more . Come here ASAP . ”

Song Mian hung up and opened his WeChat . A user called Savage sent him a photo .

It was a precariously steep ground . He even shot some snakes and beasts, but they were far from where Savage was . The only thing in his photo was the plants .

The plant that had the most number that was in the photo was the Paris polyphylla he spoke of . Yun Xiangxiang knew about this Chinese medicine . It was an endangered species .

This ingredient has major medicinal value, but it is difficult to grow artificially . Its environment is harsh too . A wild sprig needs to wait for five to seven years before it could be harvested .

Aside from Paris polyphylla, Yun Xiangxiang could not recognize any other plants . They should also be valuable medicinal ingredients .

“What is this place?” Yun Xiangxiang instinctively felt that it was not in their country .

“Bhutan,” Song Mian naturally knew where his good friend was .

“Bhutan, the country located between us and India?” Yun Xiangxiang recalled about such a neighboring country .

Song Mian nodded, “I need to make a trip there . ”

“When are you leaving?” Yun Xiangxiang could guess that Song Mian would go .

“The day after tomorrow . I’ll make a quick trip out of this . ” Yun Xiangxiang’s birthday was a week away . He had always kept that in mind .

“That’s great . I’ll be leaving for Italy three days later,” their appointment was supposed to be on the eighteenth . It had to be delayed for a few days since Lu Jin had matters to attend to .

The time was just right . She gobbled up all the theory . She could only solidify the rest on her own .

She was worried that she might have to leave Song Mian alone when she went to Italy . Now that both of them had something to do, the yearning would not be as strong .

“How many days will you be there?” Song Mian was concerned about this .

“There’s an ad shoot and an interview for a magazine . It should take five days or so,” Yun Xiangxiang estimated .

Since she needed to apply for a leave, Yun Xiangxiang went out of her way to ask about the flow of the ad shoot . Lu Jin explained that it was fine as long as the early take is passable .

Under different systems, enterprises would have different expectations about the flow of an ad shoot .

It was now the twentieth . Yun Xiangxiang would leave for Italy on the twenty-third . In other words, she could only return home in March .

Her birthday was on the twenty-seventh . Song Mian replied, “Okay . Got it . ”

He had to hurry up and settle the matter in Bhutan before the twenty-fifth, and hurry to Italy on the twenty-sixth .

“Your business is more important . Don’t give yourself any pressure,” Yun Xiangxiang kissed Song Mian’s lips .
