Chapter 191: The Willing Submits Defeat
Sports, at least, give them time to practice. The English competition, on the other hand, is completely based on real talent. After the 3,000-kilometer race in the morning, I was in English in the afternoon.
Despite the help of the Galaxy System, Xu Le was still somewhat nervous in his heart. Chen Shu came back from abroad, and in terms of English, he didn't have to say anything.
His current mood is like a criminal waiting to be executed, every minute and every second is torment.
"This English contest is about communicating with foreigners. See who communicates smoothly and who foreigners rate better. Xie An glanced at the two of them, and the emotions contained in the expressions on their faces were indescribable.
The competition was in the courtyard of Li Qiuyue's villa, with rows of trees, large orange flowers, big bloody mouths, and goose-yellow stamens like cat's tentacles.
Xu Le and Chen Shu stood under the plane tree, large patches of blue-green leaves, the sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves, and fell straight on their cheeks, brightening their facial features inch by inch.
Opposite was a round ivory-white table with three chairs, among which sat a foreigner, blonde and blue-eyed, with skin as if freshly painted. The blue eyes were like a puddle of water, with slight ripples.
He looked this way, and seemed to have a polite smile on his face.
"Everyone communicates for 10 minutes, no gestures, and must speak in pure English. There will be a recording here!You know?" Xie An looked at Xu Le deeply.
His sharp eyes made Xu Le feel dissatisfied, and said coldly, "Why are you looking at me like this? You don't think I'm going to cheat, right?
If it was before, maybe he would choose to cheat. Now with the Galaxy system, the word "cheat" will say goodbye to him forever!
Xie An smiled and shook his head, "That's not true, it's just that his eyes just fell on you." β
"You behave better for me!" Li Qiuyue leaned over to Xu Le and said softly.
Xu Le's chick nodded like a peck of rice, for fear of making Li Qiuyue angry. There was some worry in his heart. Although communicating with people is his strength, this is a foreigner after all, and his customs and hobbies are inevitably different. It is really difficult to defeat Chen Shu.
"Who's coming first?" Xie An looked at the two of them, his eyes wandering.
"I'll do it first. Xu Le took a deep breath, he had already figured it out, and he was nervous rather than waiting to see Chen Shu and the foreigner talking. It's better to be a bird, and when the time comes, good or bad has nothing to do with him.
Chen Shu looked at Xu Le like this and was overjoyed. Generally in the last place is definitely much better, because it is more memorable. Unexpectedly, Xu Le, a fool, actually took the initiative to ask to be ranked first.
"Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai, are you there?" After getting Xiao Ai's exact answer, he immediately said, "Open the points mall." β
Although he had purchased the ability of English level 8 early, he couldn't just rely on standard spoken English to deal with foreigners.
This time the points mall was very powerful, and what he needed soon appeared. "Personality charm plus twenty, points twenty. β
Xu Le clicked to buy without hesitation, and then spoke fluent English to the other party.
He had to boast about this galactic system. He had always been ignorant of English, and the letters were crooked like a wriggling worm, and his scalp was numb to look at.
I thought that I would know how to practice twenty-six letters at most in this life. Who would have thought that because of the Galaxy system, his current English level has reached the point where he can speak with the other party without communication barriers.
βwhat's you
ame?" the foreigner looked at Xu Le and asked kindly.
βmy
ame is XuLeγ Xu Le hurriedly replied.
The two began to exchange their interests and hobbies, looking at Li Qiuyue who was smiling not far away, Xu Le also had a smile on his face.
Looking at Xu Le's smile, the foreigner smiled at Xu Le, he looked at Xu Le and chatted with him about Li Qiuyue. Originally, Xu Le was still a little restrained, but after talking about Li Qiuyue, it can be said that he was gushing endlessly, and completely opened the conversation.
After ten minutes, Xu Le reluctantly ended the conversation.
Then came Chen Shu. Chen Shu's face was calm and relaxed, and there was a condescending temperament between his eyebrows.
He speaks fluent standard English and keeps praising his academic qualifications, for fear that others will not know.
The foreigner is still smiling as always, and from the arc of the smile, his true emotions cannot be seen.
Ten minutes passed in a flash, and the winner was quickly decided.
"How is it?, who do you think is fluent in English?" Xie An looked at the foreigner and asked softly.
Chen Shu looked at the foreigner's lips, eagerly expecting him to say his name. He has been abroad all the year round and has a very clear understanding of the customs and preferences of foreigners. Just now he was talking to this foreigner about baseball, which is a sport they like very much in Texas.
βXuLeγ The foreigner pointed at Xu Le and pointed out the victory to him.
Chen Shu looked at the foreigner in disbelief, he has been called standard English by many foreign friends, and he has no native accent at all. How could he lose to Xu Le, who has never stayed in the ocean?
"Why?"
The foreigner didn't say anything to Chen Shu, just leaned into Xie An's ear and whispered for a while.
"He said, you all speak about the same English, but he can clearly see Xu Le's love for our young lady. In these ten minutes, he talked about our young lady, and he talked for seven minutes!" Xie An looked at Xu Le with a smile, and it could be seen that he had a good impression of Xu Le.
Li Qiuyue glanced at Xu Le, and the corners of her mouth were like the moon season in March, blooming, revealing a bright red. Unexpectedly, Xu Le was infatuated.
"Looks like you're really in love with me!" she said, turning her face sideways.
"As for you, Ron says you only know your own rankings. Never mention the young lady. As if he didn't care about Miss at all. Xie An's attitude towards Chen Shu is obviously not as good as before.
"I also want you to know how good I am, only I am worthy of Li Qiuyue!" Chen Shu was anxious and kept patting his chest.
Li Qiuyue's big and round eyes showed a touch of contempt, "You don't think that only you are worthy of me at all, you think that being with me can prove how powerful you are!"
Her words hit Chen Shu's heart, and the latter didn't know how to refute it. He scratched his head and made a somewhat defiant gesture.
"I never meant it, believe it or not. Chen Shu is still a dead duck with a hard mouth.
Li Qiuyue shrugged, "It doesn't matter, you lose anyway, remember if you lose, just do what you should do." β
"Hmph, Li Qiuyue, don't be proud here, sooner or later, I will definitely find a better girl than you, and you will regret going when the time comes!" Chen Shu recovered his original vicious face, scolded Li Qiuyue, and turned to leave.
"It seems that I didn't make the wrong choice!" Xie An looked at Chen Shu's back and couldn't help sighing.
Xu Le raised his eyebrows, "What does this have to do with you, it's me who wins, and it has nothing to do with your choice." β
Xie An smiled noncommittally, he rolled his eyes at Xu Le, "Do you really think that your English strength can be compared to Chen Shu who stayed abroad?"
Although Xu Le's English is indeed good, there is still a certain gap compared with Chen Shu.
"This..."Xu Le lowered his head and didn't speak again.
He knew this was true, because English was Chen Shu's strong point. He emigrated at a very young age and has always used English to communicate with others. For him, English is a second mother tongue, and of course far more than Xu Le.
"Then why?" Xu Le was dumbfounded, he didn't understand, since he was the one who lost, why in the end, this Ron still chose him.
"Because I told him that in addition to English fluency, it also depends on communication skills, including other things. Just now I saw that Ron was about to open his mouth to choose Chen Shu. Because I was afraid that Chen Shu would not have a good influence on our young lady. So I whispered something to him. Xie An smiled, "The reason why he refers to you is because he thinks that your spoken language is not as good as Chen Shu." This is also a clever trick I have made. β
Xu Le was dumbfounded, and then he knew that his twenty points had been spent in vain. Or is this charisma only useful to locals? It's like a low-quality dog skin plaster for foreigners, and it doesn't work.
"Thank you, Uncle An, for being so kind to me!" Li Qiuyue hugged Xie An and said in an innocent tone that was almost a little girl.
She was sitting on the side and eavesdropping just now, and it was indeed Chen Shu's spoken language that was too strong, which made her unable to help but be anxious. He had already thought about how to reject Chen Shu after Chen Shu won and let this kid retreat.
"That's as it should be. Xie An waved his hand and slowly pushed Li Qiuyue away, "The master is actually very concerned about this competition. He always told me that I must take care of Miss Akizuki's feelings. There are people who have money, but their conscience is broken. β
"Grandpa...," Li Qiuyue muttered, her eyes creeping with a thin layer of mist, blurring her vision, and her eyes were slightly wet.
Xu Le nodded, he straightened up and looked at Li Qiuyue, "I won, I said, I will definitely win, just believe me." β
Li Qiuyue had a smile on her face, "That's right, I only believe now that you are sincere to me." β
Because the company still has something to do, Li Qiuyue can't eat with Xu Le, so the two of them will say goodbye.
Xie An walked upstairs slowly, directly to the innermost room.
An old man sat in a wheelchair with his back to him, his hair was gray, like a white hat.
"Who won?" the voice was old and ethereal, as if it were coming from afar.
"Xu Le. Among these two people, in addition to their love for Miss Li Qiuyue, Xu Le's adaptability, language organization skills, and emotional intelligence are all very good. I've got a video of the whole thing, and I'll send it to your computer when the time comes. Xie An replied respectfully.
"In that case, don't stop them. After all, this Xu Le still has some ability. I heard that he also helped the Cao family find the treasure. The old man's voice seemed to be a little more relieved, "It seems that our Yueyue vision is not bad!"
Xu Le returned to school, just in time for the next history class, and hurriedly ran to the classroom.
