When Tian Bo handed over the invitation letter to Liu Jingting, the expression on his face was very indifferent, and the feeling was that it was expected that my students would get this invitation, and there was nothing to show off, I was originally a people's teacher with a good education.

"Don't put too much pressure, just treat it as a small exam and just play normally. ”

Teacher Tian, who has the temperament of peach and plum all over the world, explained calmly, turned around and walked out of the classroom with his back hand, and when he went out, he accidentally tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

After the head teacher left, the students quickly gathered around Liu Jingting, full of envy and admiration, looking at the red and yellow invitation letter with a yearning face, and said with words in their mouths: "It is worthy of Vientiane, the invitation letter is more elaborate than the admission letter of other universities, by the way, Brother Ting, is there a reward for the first place in the top 16?"

Liu Jingting greeted everyone's onlookers with a smile on his face, and when he heard this question, he took out the pure black Parker pen and said, "This pen." The questioning classmate took the pen, and it was indispensable to sigh again.

Chen Haowei glanced at the man and said with a slight mockery: "Whoever participates in this essay contest can get into Vientiane because of a pen, how many such pens will have to be." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liu Jingting, and continued: "Liu Jingting, I can't see that you are so hidden, but it made you laugh before." ”

Liu Jingting shook his head and said with a smile: "It's luck." ”

Chen Haowei did not deny it, and said: "There are four stages in the competition, it is impossible to be the subject you are good at every time, this is indeed just the beginning, it should be more and more difficult in the future, you really need to work hard." ”

Liu Jingting bowed his head in disbelief.

After the class bell rang again, the students stared at the invitation intently, returned to their seats, and saw Liu Jingting casually placing the invitation on a stack of books. Mixed feelings welled up in my heart, if that piece of paper was for me, what would I do with it?

This is a very subtle state of mind, similar to the psychology of loving the house and the hair of the black body, because in everyone's eyes, the invitation from Vientiane is a very rare and precious thing, and Liu Jingting's understatement, in their opinion, undoubtedly shows a strange charm.

During class, Liu Jingting received a small note. The note was related to "The Gift of the Magi", which read: "People always say that poor couples are difficult to do, and you let everyone see another aspect, the couple in the story is very similar to my parents, and I read the story to my mother." She liked it very much, saying that the author must be a spiritual person. Thank you. Liu Jingting: I want to talk to everyone more, you are obviously a humorous person, why do you always pretend to be an adult, hehe, I wish you a smooth trip to the rivers and seas, and remember to treat you when you pass the customs. ”

Liu Jingting looked at Juanxiu's handwriting on the note. Qing yì judged that this note was from a certain girl, looked up at the teacher on the podium, and replied, "You're welcome, I'll have a treat if I haven't done it." If you don't get drunk, you won't return. ”

……

At the end of May, SAT test scores can already be queried, Liu Jingting secretly memorized Mihu's exam registration code before, checked the score in advance, 2205 points, plus her previous TOEFL score of 108, basically met the requirements of Mihu's ideal university Columbia University, however, the admission conditions of famous schools in the United States are more demanding, in addition to test scores, there are other aspects of assessment, such as life activities, such as personal achievements.

Mi Hu also doesn't have to worry about this, she has published books herself, and when she was an editor, she dug up bestsellers, the most outstanding representative of which is "Gu Yongsheng".

"Remember to include me in your application essay, it must be very convincing, and I can write you another letter of recommendation if necessary. After self-study the next night, Liu Jingting lay on the bed and chatted with Mi Hu about WC.

"You think too much, I don't plan to mention you at all, Mi Guoyan knows which one you are. ”

"Can they come over and investigate, the bestseller champion for two consecutive years, the author of non-famous martial arts novels, from your disciples, no matter how young you are, I can't get rid of it." ”

"Elution?"

"Break free?"

"Don't show off in front of me, I discovered you in the first place, by the way, the "Magi's Gift" you wrote is very interesting, if it is translated into English, it should also be welcomed in the United States, and it fits their culture very well. ”

"You've also seen it, I'm an English expert, I will authorize the English copyright of that article to you, you translate it and publish it in the past, and the manuscript fee will be used as pocket money. ”

"Are you mistaken, in China, I help you edit Chinese novels, go abroad, you want to squeeze my translation labor, you really make me your lifelong editor?"

"If you don't edit for life, you should be for life - what?"

After a moment of silence, Mi Hu changed the topic and said, "When will you leave for Jianghai?"

"They informed the second that it would be fine a day in advance. ”

"Let's go over after the final exam, go early, do everything calmly, I don't think I have time to accompany you." ”

"Preparing for the departure process?"

"Hmm. ”

"I know you might be scolded for saying that, but if you don't get an offer from Columbia University in the end, you really don't think about other schools?"

"Don't think about it, I told my parents that since I didn't cheat and prepared well for the exam, they couldn't force me. ”

"It's not a big problem. ”

"Liu Jingting, you, will you go to the United States to see me then, just ask casually. ”

"Of course, I heard that Columbia University is in Manhattan, and I have long been familiar with that place. The richest region in the world should also be seen, and Broadway is there. ”

"Well, there's Wall Street, the Empire State Building, Central Park. ”

"When the time comes, receive me as a serpent. ”

In fact, although Mihu has a rebellious mentality, and there is still a hidden concern in her heart that is not enough for outsiders, she still maintains a certain yearning for the oldest college on the American continent and the place with all kinds of famous scenery and things in the world, especially when she thinks that one day she can walk on the streets of Broadway in Manhattan with Liu Jingting, and she is looking forward to it more and more.

Of course, neither Mihu nor Liu Jingting thought of it now. Later, when they met on Broadway, they actually became rivals, which is a story for another time.

"Then don't forget to send me the serialization of the next novel, and the rest of the future will be sent to me, you know?"

"Of course, this is already a habit of life. ”

……

Mihu doesn't have to worry about the college entrance examination anymore, and Liu Jingting naturally doesn't have to worry about the final exam, in recent days, he has gone through the short stories of various themes in his mind. Including the works of Maupassant, Chekhov, Turgrev and even Mr. Lu Xun and other literary giants, all involved.

On June 25, the final exam of the first year of Yuehe No. 1 Middle School and High School ended.

On June 26, Liu Jingting returned home and showed his parents the invitation letter to Vientiane School Park. proved that he really wanted to participate in the essay competition, and proved that this essay competition did have a prize of 500,000 yuan. What's even rarer. Daddy Liu had also heard of Vientiane School Park, so Liu Jingting's explanation became simpler, however, problems also arose.

Liu's mother boiled chicken soup, pork brain soup, and pork rib soup for her son's energetic participation in the competition. And my father talked to himself about literature for two whole days.

On June 27, Liu Jingting got Qiao Keli's sketch of him from the editor-in-chief of "Children's Literature and Art" Yao, and to his surprise, Qiao Keli, who had only looked at himself a few times, actually painted herself so vividly. In particular, the smile with unknown meaning on his face was also presented very clearly, and Liu Jingting secretly thought that after the competition, he would go to the school to visit the art genius.

On June 28, Liu Jingting stepped on the plane to Jianghai again, and Song Kun put down the business in the store and sent it to the airport no matter what.

……

On June 29, Gong Chengen took half a day out of his busy schedule to meet with Liu Jingting, and now, he is an intern at Xingyue TV, working as an intern planner and screenwriter in a screenwriting group in the TV drama department, and most of the other members of the team are students who have just graduated from college or are still in school.

"Otherwise, you can also come to our group, if the two of us join forces, we will definitely be invincible. Although he is no longer wearing a brand-name dress, Gong Chengen's dress is still refreshing and neat, and he has the taste of a rich child.

"Let's talk about that, I want to write novels and go to college first. ”

Gong Chengen, as a regular employee, and an intern, does not enjoy the treatment of Gong Ershao, so he chatted with Liu Jingting for a while, and he didn't have time to eat, so he hurried back to the company, and before leaving, he remembered to tell Liu Jingting, The Legend of the White-Haired Witch has entered the filming stage, and the newcomer who has both the male and female protagonists is a student from Jianghai Drama Academy.

In July, Liu Jingting, who was dressed in a white T-shirt and brown cropped shorts, finally stood in front of the Vientiane School Park.

……

Chinese-based, Western-style used. The combination of Chinese and Western is well understood.

This is Liu Jingting's first impression of Vientiane School Park,He stood in front of the school gate,Adjusted the schoolbag strap on his shoulder,Looking up at Vientiane's famous school motto:"Knowledge is power。 ”

Chinese note below is one line in English: "Knowledgeispower!"

Liu Jingting walked towards the school gate, but was stopped by the security guard at the gate and was released after showing the invitation letter.

After entering the school,Look around carefully,Want to see what's so special about this school park.,Can make so many high school students haunted by it.。

Different from the feeling when looking at the appearance, the contrast between the layout and architectural style of Vientiane is relatively strong, and it feels like a synthesis of the school garden in the ancient Greek period and the modern popular building.

What is rare is that different buildings can still reflect each other, full of design, without any sense of disobedience, vividly confirming the truth of harmony and difference.

It's like an intuitive architectural appreciation meeting.

Then, Liu Jingting saw a low round building, and in front of the building was a large wooden board with a few eye-catching big characters written on it: "The essay contest is held in this building." ”

Liu Jingting secretly felt funny in his heart: "In order to give everyone a dismount, this Vientiane has really put up a shelf." (To be continued......)
