Chapter 594: Chapter 594 Feeling Drained

Lin Xuanze and Gu Yue looked at the test papers, and they were indeed worthy of being from M University, even more difficult than the ones from Jing University by a notch.

The two picked up their pens and after an hour and a half, they stopped writing.

They exchanged glances and took a peek at each other’s test papers, finding some comfort in their hearts.

The problem was extraordinarily difficult; they’d used over ten sheets of scratch paper and still hadn’t come up with an answer.

"Here’s the study material I’ve put together for you guys. Take a look at it first, and I’ll grade your tests," Yun Yue said as she handed out the materials she had just printed and then began to correct their exams.

The multiple-choice section came first; they each got the first two questions right, and then one of them guessed another one correctly.

None of the fill-in-the-blanks were correct, and although they wrote some steps for the short-answer questions, they were far from hitting the mark.

"Do you want to know your scores?" Yun Yue asked, resting her chin on her hands with a heavy sigh in her heart as the situation was worse than she had expected.

"...Don’t want to."

This was the worst they had ever performed on a test, without exception. They prided themselves on being geniuses, but at M University they couldn’t even touch the threshold.

Is this the strength of M University?

"Don’t be too disheartened. You are only in Da Yi; this test would be hard even for seniors to get half of the questions right."

Even though they knew Yun Yue was trying to console them, it only fueled their fighting spirit.

"This study material in your hands is summarized based on my experience with M University’s question setting. Now I’ll explain it to you one by one, and then you’ll use the knowledge from the material to tackle the questions I give you," she continued.

Yun Yue started explaining using a bill as a pointer. The room was a private one, so it didn’t disturb the others in the library. She chose Jing University’s library because it had a lot of resources they could use.

Xiao Feng brought them lunch at noon. Aside from bathroom and water breaks, they dared not rest for even a minute.

"Let’s stop here for today. Tonight, make sure you complete those problems. I’ll go over them tomorrow. Remember to take plenty of vitamin C and eat walnuts and fish soup. Get a good rest; you have less than half a month left."

"And... never mind, I won’t say anymore, so I don’t add to your stress."

After speaking, Yun Yue began to pack her things, while the two of them lay on the table, drained of energy as if their souls had been sucked dry.

"I feel like I’m hollowed out..." Lin Xuanze said expressionlessly.

Gu Yue: "It’s the first time I feel like my brain isn’t enough..."

After packing up, Yun Yue glanced at her phone, "Let’s go, the car is here."

Only then did the two straighten up and stuff the study materials and test papers into their bags before following her out of the library.

"Young Master, isn’t Miss Yun tutoring you? Why do you look more exhausted than if you had a physical education class?" Housekeeper Gu was there to pick up Gu Yue and quickly took his backpack, seeing his young master looking completely drained.

"Housekeeper Gu, look at me." Lin Xuanze pointed at himself; honestly, he was too tired to speak another word.

Housekeeper Gu looked over at Lin Xuanze, almost jumping in fright at the sight of his listless face.

"Miss Yun, what’s going on with them..." Housekeeper Gu didn’t understand. Did Miss Yun pull them into hard labor?

Yun Yue chuckled, "It’s normal for your brain to be overworked when it’s running at high capacity. Just supplement their nutrition, and they’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep."

Housekeeper Gu nodded, thinking that both the Second Young Master and Young Master Lin ranked third nationally, so they must be very intelligent. What kind of problems could exhaust them so much?

Pondering over this, Housekeeper Gu had already listed at least twenty nourishing dishes in his mind. Miss Yun was right; nutrition had to keep up.

When they got home, Xiao Feng had already prepared dinner, all dishes that were good for the brain, followed by fresh orange juice for vitamin C.

Late at night, Lin Xuanze struggled until 2 a.m. before showering and going to bed, and got up early the next morning to continue studying.

Time flew by, and there were only three days left until the competition.

They went from being deeply troubled and drained to being confident and at ease.

"Not bad, now you can basically solve all the problems I set for you. There are three days left until the competition. Let’s stop here for today, rest tonight, and we’ll head to M University tomorrow."

Lin Xuanze: "Tomorrow? Don’t we still have three days? I think I can study for another day."

Gu Yue nodded: "I think so too."

In less than half a month, they had made rapid progress, but what they were about to face were global mathematical geniuses who surely devoted a lot of time and effort to prepare for M University’s international math competition.

They had less than fifteen days of study time and feared they wouldn’t place, letting down Jing University and their country.

"Excessive stress and learning are of no benefit to the competition. Going early is to get you acclimatized. Although half a month is a short time, getting a good ranking is still possible."

"Don’t worry, M University holds these competitions yearly. This time is just for you to get used to it; next year the championship will definitely be yours."

It was remarkable for them to reach the level she wanted as Da Yi freshmen participating for the first time in such a competition in less than half a month.

The two were stunned, moved by her confidence in them.

Lin Xuanze got emotional: "I can’t believe you have so much confidence in us. I’m really moved."

Yun Yue waved her forefinger: "Nonono, I have confidence in myself. Of course, you two are certainly capable, or else even I couldn’t teach you."

Lin Xuanze’s face fell in defeat: "...So merciless."

"Send me your IDs, I’ll book the tickets." Yun Yue pulled out her phone and saw a message from Xiao Chen, her lips curving slightly: "Never mind; we’ll take a private plane tomorrow."

Gu Yue said without a second thought: "It’s definitely Young Master Xiao’s style of travel."

They each went home to prepare.

"Guys, I’ll be heading to M country tomorrow. Is there anything you’d like me to pick up for you?" Lin Xuanze posted a message in the class group chat, setting it ablaze instantly.

"Yes, yes, yes! Lin Xuanze, you are the best. Then please get me a bag."

"I want perfume."

"I want a watch!"

Everyone began naming the products and brands they wanted.

Zhang Ziyue, ever considerate, asked:

"Can you manage all that by yourself, Lin Xuanze?"

Lin Xuanze: "Of course, there’s also Gu Yue. He can help too."

Gu Yue, lurking in the chat: "..."

Zhang Ziyue got curious: "Are you two going together? What for?"

"We both signed up for the international math competition at M University. Yun Yue is also going; it’s all thanks to their tutoring. I tell you, she’s straight-up ’insane’!"

Yang Xing laughed: "Pfft! You’ve known her for a long time; she’s like she’s got a cheat code. Her brain is just non-human. You should be grateful that Sister Yue would tutor you. Just be content; we others aren’t even fortunate enough to be tutored by her."
