"Cao Xiuyan wants to kill you...... Me, Lu Zixi!"

A shout came from inside the earpiece.

Cao Xiuyan heard that it was Lu Zixi.

"Oh, Zixi. Sorry the phone is not turned on. What is the matter with me?" Cao Xiuyan got straight to the point.

Where is there so much time to talk to you?

"Sister Qiaoqiao is looking for us for a meeting, at the journey coffee shop at the north gate, come over quickly, we have been waiting for you for half an hour. ”

Lu Zixi's tone was a little urgent.

Cao Xiuyan groaned in his heart, hung up the phone, picked up the key and ran out.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Zixi listened to the sound of the broken wire, stared at the name on the phone angrily, and gritted his teeth.

Yin Qiao sat on the soft sofa, took a sip of the coffee cup, and said, "Is Xiuyan here?"

Lu Zixi put down the phone and said, "Well, he doesn't seem to have turned on the Internet and hasn't seen my news." ”

Yin Qiao put down the coffee cup and said in a gentle but non-objectionable tone: "It's his problem that he can't open the Internet, and I'll criticize him later." However, when you deal with such things in the future, you must pay attention to ensure that you notify each participant in time, and you can't leave a reply on WeChat. I can't do it again next time, Zixi. ”

Lu Zixi snorted, biting his lip and not speaking.

Chen Zihan played a round game: "Zixi may not have been exposed to these before, so take your time and don't rush." ”

Yin Qiao smiled slightly and said, "I know." But Zixi you have to remember that you can't make the same mistake twice. ”

Lu Zixi's face flushed slightly, and he nodded a little embarrassedly.

Not long after, Cao Xiuyan broke into the café in a hurry, looked around, and found Yin Qiao and the three of them sitting at a table in the corner.

He hurriedly walked over and apologized as he went: "I'm sorry Sister Qiaoqiao, I'm late." ”

He knew that according to Yin Qiao's personality, she didn't want to listen to you explain the reason for her mistakes, she only cared about the result.

"Remember to keep the communication flowing at all times. I just want to inform you that you and Zixi have been selected by the college to participate in the freshman speech contest in the middle of next month and the Jiangnan Provincial Chinese Speaking Contest to be held in the second half of the year. This time, Zihan will also participate, and she will lead the team. During this time, we will train a lot, so you must always practice to make it easier to coordinate your time. ”

Yin Qiao made things clear in three or five sentences.

Cao Xiuyan secretly clenched his fists.

Finally waited for this opportunity.

The Chinese Speaking Contest will become an important weight for him to protect his research.

"Sit down first," Yin Qiao asked Cao Xiuyan to sit down first, and then said to the waiter: "Waiter, order." ”

After reading Cao Xiuyan, he motioned for Cao Xiuyan to order by himself.

"A cup of lemon honey black tea, to be hot. Cao Xiuyan didn't even look at the menu, and ordered it directly.

Lu Zixi wondered: "There is no lemon honey black tea on the menu here." ”

Cao Xiuyan sat beside Lu Zixi, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "This is their hidden menu, not written on the menu." Their black tea was brought from Russia by a friend of the owner, and it tasted very good. You can try it next time. ”

Lu Zixi nodded in some surprise.

How much does he like to come here, even knowing about people's hidden menus?

"Okay, let's get down to business," Yin Qiao interrupted the conversation between the two of them, "In the future, I will be in charge of training for the two of you." The faculty will also give you guidance. Now let me explain to you the rules of the Chinese Speaking Competition.

"You are recommended by the college, but if you want to enter the provincial competition, you must get the top five results in this freshman speech competition, that is, you must get the third prize at the minimum. After passing the school level, you can participate in the semi-finals and finals. The semi-finals and finals are divided into two parts: recitation and speech, the speech must be an impromptu speech, the recitation must be a recitation, and you are not allowed to have any prompts on the spot.

"But don't worry, there are question banks for impromptu speeches and recitations. Choose one out of fifty in the impromptu speech question bank, and choose one out of forty in the recitation. Among them, 20 ancient and 20 modern texts were recited. It's very difficult, and you have to be prepared. ”

Yin Qiao finished this passage at a fast speed, and added: "After the final, there will be a final showdown, the former triangle to compete for the championship. The questions are optional, and there is a high probability that they will be outside the question bank. ”

Lu Zixi's expression was solemn after listening, and she could already feel the severity of this competition.

Cao Xiuyan didn't react, he already knew the competition system, and what he needed now was to improve.

He knows that Yin Qiao's strength is far beyond himself, she has experienced two Chinese speaking competitions and a teacher skills competition, and the number of speeches she has hosted in large and small times is incomparable to her two lives combined.

As for Lu Zixi, now he and she should be open.

Chen Zihan smiled and said: "It's still up to you this year, I'm a whetstone." You have to work hard, you can't embarrass our speech team. ”

Although Chen Zihan is modest, Cao Xiuyan also knows that the strength of this senior sister should not be underestimated, if there is no accident, she won the second prize in this year's competition.

It is already very powerful for a provincial master to win the second prize.

"This competition is in April next year. The reason why I asked you to prepare now is because this competition is very important, and although you have achieved good results in the freshman speech competition, in my eyes, you still have a lot of room for improvement. In other words, you're still too young now. ”

Yin Qiao spoke very politely, but she, who was the champion of the two-time Chinese Speaking Competition, was qualified to say this.

"I will say hello to the Student Affairs Office, please give you half a year of evening self-study and sleep, you don't need to worry about being deducted points for half a year. But you have to prepare for this game with all your might. From now on, the two of you will memorize the forty questions you have recited, and you can't make a single mistake. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

Yin Qiao glanced at his mobile phone and was about to go to the checkout with his high heels.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, I'll pay the bill tonight. Punishment for my tardiness. Cao Xiuyan made an expression of admitting punishment, his attitude was very sincere, and he was even a little suspicious of being cute.

Yin Qiao glanced at him, and was a little amused by his aggrieved appearance, and crossed his waist and said helplessly: "It's a bit shameless to look so good-looking, and it's a bit shameless to be cute." Okay, I'll let you pay the bill today, and next time you make a mistake, it won't be solved by a few cups of coffee. ”

Cao Xiuyan said yes again and again.

After Yin Qiao finished speaking, he left, leaving only Cao Xiuyan and the others.

Chen Zihan glanced at his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to find a boyfriend too, you two can do it yourself." Come on, I'll send you the forty question bank tonight. It's not so easy for you to memorize, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Sister Zihan, goodbye~"

"Sister Zihan bye~"

Cao Xiuyan and Lu Zixi waved goodbye.

Now, only Cao Xiuyan and Lu Zixi are left at this table.

Lu Zixi took a pillow, held it in his arms, lifted Erlang's legs, leaned comfortably on the back of the sofa, and said a little unhappily: "You caused me to be scolded by Sister Qiao Qiao today." ”

If it weren't for the opponent, Cao Xiuyan would still like this little sister very much.

A little sister who is a year younger than him and has a pair of long legs.

This girl seems to have a stubborn personality, but in fact, she is very confused in life, and Cao Xiuyan doesn't remember how many times she has lost the USB flash drive and how many times she has lost the key.

It's a very conflicted little girl.

"What's the matter, then what do you order, count me as a treat to make amends?" Cao Xiuyan picked up the lemon honey black tea and took a sip slowly.

Lu Zixi didn't look at the menu on the table, but hugged the pillow and said, "Do you have any recommendations?"

Cao Xiuyan was happy and said, "Hey, it seems that you know that I am quite familiar with this place." Waiter!"

Lu Zixi said proudly: "That's." You all know the hidden menu here, and you're sure to come back often. ”

It's a regular coming, but it's the last life.

Cao Xiuyan didn't speak, and said to the waiter who walked up to him: "Another cup of lemon honey black tea, a mango pancake, a matcha mille-feuille, and four egg yolk crisps to pack." ”

The waiter quickly finished writing the order and went to the back to prepare.

Lu Zixi smiled lightly and said, "Connoisseur, let's come with the girl." ”

Cao Xiuyan clarified: "It's really not, this is what one of my seniors told me, these things in this store are the best." The last time he brought me over, he ordered all of these. ”

Lu Zixi showed an expression of disbelief and said, "You can just pull you." ”

"Hey, you girl really are," Cao Xiuyan was a little depressed, "I invited you to eat dessert, and you still said bad things about me." It's good to eat other people's mouths, but your mouth is shorter. ”

Lu Zixi sneered and said, "Cao Xiuyan, you know that you are like this now, and you have a little more fireworks than you on stage." ”

"What do you mean...... Am I standing on the stage and becoming an immortal?" Cao Xiuyan teased with a smile.

Lu Zixi shook his head and said, "What are you talking about?" I mean, you're on stage, and you seem to be friendly, but I can feel that you're actually rejecting people from thousands of miles away. Whether your expression or your movements, there is a sense of arrogance. ”

Cao Xiuyan looked incredulous, and said, "Don't talk so mysteriously, you are not a roundworm in my stomach, how do you know my thoughts?"

At this time, the waiter brought desserts, a matcha mille-feuille, and a mango pancake, all with an attractive aroma.

"Hello, these four egg yolk crisps you packed have been packed for you. Please consume it as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect its taste. The waitress reminded Cao Xiuyan with a standard smile.

"Thank you, hard work. Cao Xiuyan smiled and thanked her, then pushed the pan halberd and the mille-feuille in front of Lu Zixi, and said:

"Try it first. Egg yolk crisp for you to pack and eat. ”

Lu Zixi sighed, picked up the fork, cut a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth, and then showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Well, yes, yes, it tastes great. ”

Lu Zixi thought it was amazing.

Cao Xiuyan leaned back, crossed his legs, clasped his hands to his chest, and pulled the topic back: "Go on, why do you say that." ”

Lu Zixi took another bite of mille-feuille, licked his lips, and suddenly fixed his eyes on Cao Xiuyan:

"Because, I'm the same person. ”
