Sweetlove: Spoiled by My Childhood Sweetheart

F{h*F5/- V hapter 40: Love Whoever, She Doesn’t Care Anyway

Before Shen Zhaozhao had finished the ice cream she’d hidden at the Sheng Family residence, the Olympic Mathematics training camp had already started.

“Shen Zhaozhao,” Xu Siyan had arrived early and was standing in the crowd to greet Shen Zhaozhao.

Upon seeing him, Sheng Chuyi’s face darkened.

“You don’t like him, huh?” Shen Zhaozhao quietly asked, observing his expression.

Sheng Chuyi: “No!”

Shen Zhaozhao glanced at him and then at Xu Siyan, who was approaching them.

...

Clearly disliked, yet he wouldn’t admit it.

Xu Siyan squeezed beside Shen Zhaozhao and shared the news he had heard from his parents, “Over a thousand people applied this time, and only about sixty of us students passed the test. In a week, there will be another test, and more than half will be eliminated again, leaving only twenty people. They will then train exclusively for these twenty and finally select five to represent our city in the competition.”

Shen Zhaozhao thought: Everyone’s gone mad! An Olympic Mathematics camp, and it’s almost rolled into a pretzel.@@novelbin@@

Love it or hate it, she wasn’t going to compete.

She had only agreed to qualify for the training camp, not to stay till the end for the competition.

Luckily, a week later, she could go home, enjoy the air conditioning, and eat her unfinished ice cream.

She was already eagerly awaiting the assessment a week later to kick her out.

Before the camp’s opening ceremony.

“Yiyi, am I seeing things? Isn’t that our Teacher Chen?” Shen Zhaozhao, seeing the familiar figure ahead, couldn’t help but rub her eyes.

She actually saw their math teacher and homeroom teacher standing with some official-looking people.

Sheng Chuyi: “You’re not seeing things.”

Xu Siyan was equally shocked.

“Hello, everyone. My name is Chen Shuo and I am the head of this Olympic Mathematics training camp. The city leaders highly value this training session and specially assigned me and two other professors to handle it. I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity and study hard.”

Chen Shuo’s eyes slid over the young, tender faces below, and when he saw Shen Zhaozhao, his face couldn’t help but brighten with a smile.

Emerging from over a thousand applicants proved he wasn’t wrong, this girl indeed had a knack for mathematics.

Since everyone had to stay at the training base during the training period.

The next step was assigning dormitories.

While everyone was busy moving luggage and finding dormitories, Shen Zhaozhao pulled Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan to the front of Chen Shuo.

“Teacher Chen, it’s really you, isn’t it? So, you’ll be teaching us for the next while?” Shen Zhaozhao was excited.

Seeing a familiar face at the training camp made her extremely happy.

Especially since this person was the head of their training.

“What, you look down on your teacher?”

Chen Shuo was delighted to see all three of them, especially since Sheng Chuyi and Xu Siyan were students he liked a lot.

The only exception was Shen Zhaozhao, who he found headache-inducing.

Back in the day, he was a legend in the Olympic Mathematics community, having had the chance to stay in a big city to develop his career, yet due to some reasons, he ended up returning home to teach.

“Of course not!”

Shen Zhaozhao crisply denied it, her face wearing an innocently troublesome (headache-inducing) grin, “I just wanted to ask if what you said last time still holds, that if I pass the training camp assessment, I can skip your future classes and it would still count?”

As long as it’s his class, then the training camp classes should count, right?

Chen Shuo looked at her, somewhat heartbroken.

Despite being a promising student, why didn’t she aspire to be more ambitious?
