Chapter 29 Reminiscing by the Window and New Horizons in Problem Solving
Watching the group of students buried in a sea of questions.
Ye Fan gently capped the pen.
He rubbed his aching wrists and quietly got up to walk towards the restroom.
Having written so many questions for Zhao Mingzhe, and with the hot weather, he almost finished the entire bottle of Guojiao 1573.
My bladder feels full now; it's time to go to the toilet and relieve myself.
The group was engrossed in their homework and didn't notice Ye Fan leaving.
Inside the toilet.
Ye Fan stood in front of the sink, the cool tap water washing over his fingertips.
He shook the water droplets off his hands.
After relieving himself, he didn't rush back into the library.
Instead, he strolled to the entrance of the side door.
The early summer breeze swept through the corridor, carrying a hint of heat.
He leaned against the windowsill, his thoughts drifting like sycamore leaves scattered by the wind.
My mind is filled with various thoughts, including plans for the future and current events.
He is now both looking forward to the World Cup and wishing that his high school years would pass by more slowly.
Tomorrow, Monday, is graduation photo shoot, which means his high school life is coming to an end.
I still feel a lot of reluctance in my heart.
My thoughts drifted back to university.
Ye Fan tapped his fingertips lightly on the windowsill. He had no intention of taking the exam to go to Jiangcheng again in this life.
I probably won't meet her again in this life!
In his previous life, Ye Fan chose to take the college entrance exam in Jiangcheng simply because of a line from Li Bai's poem, "Playing the jade flute in the Yellow Crane Tower, plum blossoms fall in Jiangcheng in May." Of course, another reason was that the cherry blossoms at Wuhan University were beautiful and he wanted to see them.
Four years is enough for a city to be etched into its very bones, and enough for a name to fade from memory.
Tian Ranling.
When the name crossed his mind, Ye Fan found himself as if he were reading someone else's story.
Those sleepless nights, those unforgettable pains, now seem to have turned into a dry bookmark on the pages of memory.
Even if he had the chance to meet her again in this life, Ye Fan would not feel any emotion.
Ye Fan has a deep affection for this city.
Jiangcheng is an ancient city with a history of over a thousand years, perched on the banks of the Yangtze River. Like an old man who has seen the vicissitudes of life, it quietly watches the changes of the times.
The title "the thoroughfare of nine provinces" is by no means an exaggeration.
As a transportation hub in the heart of China, the Yangtze River, a golden waterway, intersects with the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and its water and land transportation radiates throughout the country. Its unique advantages have made Jiangcheng a place where merchants gather since ancient times.
Ye Fan still remembers the scene he saw when he stood on the Yangtze River Bridge in his previous life: thousands of sails racing, trains roaring, and modern overpasses complementing the ancient ferry terminal.
Jiangcheng also has another name, which is "Chicago of the East".
This term was mentioned by the American magazine Harper's.
The name originates from the fact that after Hankou was opened as a treaty port in the late Qing Dynasty, it became the largest commercial center in the inland region. Its modern industry and foreign trade flourished, and it was compared to the transportation and industrial status of Chicago in the United States. Therefore, it was called the Chicago of the East by American magazines.
Come back to the present.
We walked back into the library.
Just then, Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning were seen huddled together, heads touching, discussing the problem.
Seeing Ye Fan return, Tang Yanning said with a grin, "Ye Zi, where did you go? We were just about to discuss this topic with you, but we couldn't find you anywhere."
Her voice carried the suppressed elation characteristic of the library.
Ye Fan pulled out a chair and sat down: "I just went to the restroom and stayed in the hallway for a while."
His tone was normal, but he noticed that Pei Yi'an's gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds longer.
Pei Yi'an, who was standing to the side, did not ask any questions, but instead thoughtfully stroked the edge of the draft paper.
She could tell from Ye Fan's eyes that he must have something on his mind, but it was probably something he couldn't tell anyone.
It has to be said that a woman's intuition is really accurate.
If Ye Fan knew what Pei Yi'an was thinking, he would probably break out in a cold sweat.
It was as if everyone assumed she had guessed that she was a reincarnated person.
Ye Fan took the exercise book from Pei Yi'an, the pages still carrying the warm scent of the girl's fingertips: "Which question is so difficult!"
Pei Yi'an sighed softly and said, "Look, this is the one that's been stuck for us for so long. It feels so difficult!"
"you do not say!"
"An is right, this question is really difficult. I've burned through a truckload of brain cells."
Tang Yanning exaggeratedly rubbed her temples, her ponytail swaying gently as she shook her head.
Ye Fan lowered his head to read the question, and his brows unconsciously relaxed.
Gradually, he noticed that his math skills seemed to be improving!
In the past, he would usually give up on questions of this level, not wanting to waste a single second on such difficult questions.
As the pen tip traced smooth auxiliary lines on the paper, Ye Fan suddenly realized a startling fact—the changes brought about by his rebirth were far more complex than just memories.
At first, he thought the biggest changes that brought him were the improvement in his physical fitness and the clarity of his memory, including remembering the entire college entrance examination paper clearly.
However, when he was first reborn, he didn't realize that his problem-solving skills had improved until today.
So far, he has gradually discovered the benefits of being reborn.
First, my physical fitness improved significantly; I became very strong, and of course, I was also incredibly skilled in that area...
Secondly, they can clearly remember everything that happened in their past life, from major historical events to minor details like what they ate for breakfast on a particular day, all of which can be clearly reproduced as if accessing a computer file.
And now, he has discovered a third gift—a comprehensive improvement in his cognitive abilities.
The solution to this problem flows naturally to me; what used to be a difficult problem can now be easily understood.
This goes beyond simply memorizing answers; it's a true upgrade in thinking.
He organized his thoughts and then began discussing it with the two of them...
A few minutes later.
The three of them solved this problem perfectly.
Tang Yanning was so excited she almost jumped up, exclaiming, "Ye Zi, when did you become so amazing?!"
He then added, "I remember you never participated in discussions about problems of this difficulty before!"
"Damn it..."
"Is that polite? Your kind of praise sounds like you're adding insult to injury."
Ye Fan's lips twitched; at this moment, he understood how Zhao Mingzhe felt.
Pei Yi'an was seriously pondering Ye Fan's changes. It seemed that Ye Fan had changed since last week. She was more confident and had a better temperament than before. Even her grades had improved by leaps and bounds.
Just then.
A familiar figure approached, waving practice problems along.
Zhao Mingzhe put an arm around Ye Fan's shoulder and curiously peered over, "Old Ye, what kind of age-old problem are you discussing? You seem so engrossed!"
Ye Fan looked at him and said earnestly, "Son, these questions... are really not something you should be able to handle at your age."
"???"
"Damn it"
"Are there any topics that I, Zhao, cannot participate in?" he immediately retorted.
However, after glancing at the questions in his hand, he stopped talking.
After all, he had spent ages calculating these problems, and there were still many he couldn't solve, or even had no idea how to do them.
Not to mention topics that require the three of them to discuss together, which is definitely not something I can participate in.
Tang Yanning chuckled, and Pei Yi'an also pursed her lips and turned her head away.
