Unlike high school where there are only a few subject competitions, there are many competitions in college.

Entrepreneurship competitions, extracurricular science and technology innovation competitions, robot design competitions, debate competitions, etc., ranging from national-level competitions to commercially sponsored customization competitions to inter-department competitions, there are many types of competitions.

In a sense, this is also the most attractive and challenging part of the university.

There are colorful competitions, countless club activities, dazzling elective courses, and unprecedented free time compared to high school. No one can "want it all", so everything is a choice and trade-off.

College students must learn or have to learn to be responsible for their own choices.

In this process, some people find the right direction and stand out, while others get lost and do nothing.

Qin Ke's decision was based on a simple "goal".

He set a very clear goal for his freshman year. While working on scientific research projects, he had as much exposure as possible and enjoyed the unique time of the university.

For the club, he chose basketball, which he likes. As for the competition, he planned to choose one or two easy and simple liberal arts competitions that he could participate in with Ning Qingyun as a team, and that would allow Ning Qingyun to develop his talents and get to know more female friends——

For example, the English competition will not increase the burden and pressure on Ning Qingyun, who is already academically stressed, and she can easily earn some foreign language points.

As for competitions that require a lot of effort, such as the Robot Design Competition, Extracurricular Academic Science and Technology Works Competition, and Biological Design Competition, Qin Ke plans to participate in one or two more during his sophomore year based on the topic at hand.

At this time, when he heard Ning Qingyun mention the mathematical modeling competition, Qin Ke briefly recalled it and remembered that he had indeed seen the relevant posters posted in the cafeteria.

It's just that he no longer wants to participate in competitions in mathematics. Compared with proving world-class conjectures, participating in such competitions gives too little sense of achievement.

However, for other college students, this college student mathematical modeling competition is indeed very valuable. It is one of the largest extracurricular science and technology activities in colleges and universities across the country. In previous years, most of them were held in September. This year, there seems to be some special circumstances.

It has been postponed to November 5th.

Qin Ke looked at the calendar. Today is the day and there are only about 11 days left before the start of the competition. Should he have stopped signing up by now?

Ning Qingyun looked at the WeChat message on her phone and said: "Yan Fei said that a senior she knew signed up for a team, but the other two teammates were temporarily absent. The senior looked everywhere for someone to fill the vacancy, so she found her.

She felt insecure on her own, and wanted to invite me to go with her."

"Yanfei" is Gu Yanfei, Ning Qingyun's roommate in the same dormitory. This girl is carefree, cheerful and cheerful, but she is also outspoken. Of course, if we are direct, there is nothing wrong with using "short-minded" to describe her.

However, because of her personality, she has no jealousy towards Ning Qingyun, who has excellent looks, temperament and grades. She has the best relationship with Ning Qingyun among the three roommates.

Is it okay to find a substitute like this? Qin Ke rolled his eyes: "Ask Gu Yanfei, does the senior know that you are her roommate?"

Ning Qingyun is not good at interpersonal communication, but as a girl, she is still very keen on some things. She opened and closed her lips silently and input text directly with lip language. After a while, she raised her head and said: "I know. Yan

Fei said it was because of her academic resistance that she found another powerful girl to compete with, and she thought of me."

Qin Ke smiled. Sure enough, it was true. The target that the senior wanted to win over was not Gu Yanfei at all, but his own little cabbage.

In fact, this method of wooing is a bit clumsy. Normally, how can one invite freshmen to participate in a mathematical modeling competition? The freshman year has only started for less than two months, and the math classes have not been attended to ten periods in total.

Modeling competitions are typical cannon fodder.

Of course, there is no shortage of geniuses in Qingmu University, and it is not impossible to learn the subsequent professional courses by themselves in the freshman year, but such talented people are in the minority after all. At least according to Qin Ke's observation, although Gu Yanfei is okay in mathematics, she is definitely not up to the "

The word "genius".

Therefore, the purpose of senior sister inviting Gu Yanfei to participate in the modeling competition is obvious, mainly to compete with Ning Qingyun.

As long as he and Ning Qingyun have participated in competitions together and formed a "companionship", the follow-up will be various invitations to get closer. Probably this senior's ultimate goal is Qin Ke.

It may not be that he wants to pry Ning Qingyun's corner, but it is almost foreseeable that he will take advantage of academic projects to ask for help.

This is university.

Here there is still pure friendship and love, and there are also students who work hard and want to create a better future with their knowledge and sweat.

Of course, there will also be careerists and practical people who do not study their studies well, but instead focus on building relationships and building connections, thinking of getting to know more extraordinary people in college so as to form valuable "connection resources" to capitalize on.

For example, this senior who didn't even get a chance to show her name, or those "friends" who deliberately "encountered" each other and wanted to make Qin Ke, are all such people.

That’s why universities are called the “ivory towers” ​​of a small half of society.

Qin Ke sees these things more clearly than most of his peers.

Seeing through does not mean accepting. What Qin Ke has always disliked the most is this kind of "utilitarian" friendship. He believes that friendship only depends on similar temperaments, or it comes from the sincerity, applauding you when you succeed, and supporting you when you are low.

Come on, lend a helping hand when you are in dire straits.

This is a true friend.

As for building connections among students?

Go to hell!

Qin Ke had no interest and was not willing to waste time on making excuses. Therefore, after he went to college, he never joined the so-called "upper circle" or "elite circle", and he had little interaction with various second-generation people.

It's easy to be friends with him, just be sincere.

It is also difficult to be friends with him, because the most difficult thing to give these days is sincerity.

Fortunately, most of Qin Ke's basic science classes are relatively innocent and cute students, which makes Qin Ke very comfortable among them.

Qin Ke smiled: "Jun'er, if you want to try in the mathematical modeling competition, I can form a team with you and Gu Yanfei. You don't have to join a team of strangers."

The registration period has passed now, but for the school, as long as Qin Ke opens his mouth, it is naturally a dream, and it will definitely find ways to solve it for him.

Ning Qingyun thought for a while and said softly: "Then I won't go. I still want to learn mathematics well first, and it won't be of much use to participate in this modeling competition now."

"Okay. Then how do you plan to reply to Gu Yanfei?"

"Let's just say... I'm working on a project with you, but I really can't spare the time? If I participate in the competition next year, I will definitely make an appointment with her first?"

Qin Ke gave a thumbs up: "The progress is obvious."

Ning Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled softly.

She is not stupid. She used to focus on her studies and was too lazy to care about these interpersonal relationships. But now that Qin Ke wants her to get along with her roommates, she will naturally work hard to do so.

Moreover, being in a gentle environment will indeed make you feel happy.

…

In the evening, Qin Ke, wearing a blue jersey, was active on the basketball court again.

The school basketball team went to play in the college league. Because the journey was too far and it took up class time, Qin Ke didn't join. Today he is participating in the basketball club's club activities.

He flexibly intercepted the red team's offense, made a jump shot, and shot the basketball from outside the three-point line to the backboard, accurately hitting the basket!

There were countless screams from boys and girls watching the game, and the shouts of "Qin Ke! Qin Ke!" resounded throughout the audience.

The red team's forehead was covered with sweat, but the blue team was very happy.

The ball was kicked off again, and after a fierce scramble, the basketball was passed to Qin Ke's hands again.

"Stop Qin Ke!" the captain of the red team ordered his teammates angrily.

"Winter! Winter! Winter!" The basketball kept bouncing up and down under Qin Ke's hands. Qin Ke looked relaxed and moved smoothly. Two tall college students in red jerseys around him rushed over to guard him tightly.

Qin Ke made a fake move and seemed to be dribbling the ball to break through. Just when the two opposing players wanted to intercept, Qin Ke threw a backhand, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc and landed accurately in the hands of teammate Xiong Kaizong.

As the name suggests, the Xiong Kaizong people are so tall and strong that they can be called "human bears".

After he got the ball, he roared and roared straight into the opponent's penalty area.

Defender Wei Wuxiang of the red team is also a master, but it only took Xiong Kaizong less than two seconds from catching the ball to rushing to shoot. The basketball flew out of the ground, hit the backboard, and circled the frame twice, but it was still smooth.

Access the network.

The whistle blows and the game is over.

The blue team won by a big score!

Xiong Kaizong ran over excitedly and high-fived Qin Ke: "Qin Ke, good shot!" He then proudly gestured his middle finger to the red defender Wei Wuxiang: "Wei Wuxiang, what, you got hit by me again!

"

Wei Wuxiang was the defender of the red team and one of the best players in the club. He and Xiong Kaizong were close friends. He laughed and scolded: "Big Stinky Bear, why are you so arrogant? It's Qin Ke's turn to join our red team next time. Let's see how I explode."

Until you cry!"

These words immediately made the red team cheer and made the blue team players cry and howl.

Qin Ke returned to the basketball court, threw everyone's towels over one by one, laughed and cursed: "You guys have been 'praising me' all day long, what are your bad intentions?"

At this time, Ning Qingyun, who was sitting next to him reading a book, stood up and came over, handing over a towel and a thermos cup filled with warm water.

Wei Wuxiang watched the extremely beautiful school girl handing Qin Ke towels and water. He was filled with envy. He admired him and said: "Qin Ke, this is really not flattering. You study well and play football better. I think you

You can definitely play in the CBA. Even playing in the college basketball league is a waste, let alone playing at an amateur level like ours."

Another team member was happy: "Brother Wei, it's a waste of talent for you to ask Qin Ke to play in the CBA, right? His academic performance is so good, he will definitely develop in an academic direction in the future, how can he join any CBA club!"

Xiong Kaizong came over, patted Qin Ke on the shoulder and said: "Qin Ke, you are good at everything, but you only play basketball for one hour a day, which is too short! In my opinion, playing basketball is no better than writing and drawing in front of textbooks all day long.

So happy, you should come and play with us more often when you have time. Playing with you is just one word, fun!"

Qingmu University also has many special sports students. This basketball club is known as the cradle of the school team, and there are many experts among them who have special skills in basketball.

There are even those who played basketball in high school and reached the top ten in the country. They may not be able to join the school team due to lack of qualifications, but their skills are quite good.

At first, when Qin Ke was invited back to play by Zhuo Chengjin, the head of the basketball department, everyone was a little disapproving. Although Qin Ke is famous throughout the country in terms of academics, but in basketball... how could he be as good as those who practice every day in high school?

The main basketball player in the school?

But Qin Ke quickly impressed them with the strength he displayed. Whether it was his stealing skills, pitching accuracy, commanding power on the court, or even physical strength and speed, Qin Ke was even better than them.
