Seeing his sister's expression of 'I want to be in the limelight', Lu Pingfan shook his head amusedly. After calming down after being surprised, he could probably guess the purpose of his sister's return.

It's nothing more than hearing about the Japanese expedition and wanting to come back to help.

Li Xiaotong asked Zhao Yan and got Zhao Yan's approval, so he looked at Akemi Lianggong with a smile: "Hello, my name is Li Xiaotong, let me be your opponent in this round." ”

Although Akemi Suzumiya is proud, she also knows what politeness is. Facing Li Xiaotong's smiling face, she also smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Akemi Suzumiya, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Then, she suddenly asked, "Are you Lu Pingfan's sister?"

"Do you know me?" asked Li Xiaotong in surprise.

Akemi Suzumiya said: "You have an ancient Chinese saying called knowing yourself and knowing your opponent, let's communicate, naturally we have to understand you first." You and your brother are both school signs, and I know you with my classmates and teachers. ”

"I'm so honored. Li Xiaotong said with a smile.

Zhao Yan stood aside, looked at the two girls who were almost polite, then walked over and said, "If you two are ready, let's not waste time, let's start quickly." ”

"I'm ready. Li Xiaotong was the first to say.

"I'm ready too. Akemi Suzumiya regained her old arrogant look, and it seemed that she didn't take anyone in her eyes except her teacher.

Many students from Xicheng No. 10 Middle School couldn't get used to her looking like she couldn't be dragged around, but they were surprised that so many people at the scene didn't even have a whispering voice, and everyone kept silent very well.

Perhaps, it's just because the person standing in front of him is Li Xiaotong.

Zhao Yan ignored Akemi Liangmi's arrogance, she called a few classmates as usual, and helped Li Xiaotong and Akemi Lianggong prepare a table and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Then, she said: "To test calligraphy, someone needs to evaluate it. We'll vote to decide the outcome of the two of you. As for the candidates to participate in the voting, your Japanese team will send three people, and we will send two people from the tenth school, a total of five people, and the one with the most votes will win. ”

When Mr. Yamada first heard Zhao Yan's words, he still didn't believe his ears.

There are five people in total, three in Japan, and two in ten, which is clearly for the Japanese team to take advantage of. The side with the most votes wins, as long as the Japanese team negotiates, Li Xiaotong has no possibility of winning at all.

"Could it be that there is something else in this?" thought to Soji Yamada, who had been stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the teachers and students of Xicheng No. 10 Middle School were also at a loss, and they couldn't figure out why Teacher Zhao wanted to say such a proposal that made Li Xiaotong suffer.

Only Li Xiaotong smiled at Zhao Yan, as if he understood the teacher's thoughts.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand Zhao Yan's thoughts, she just deliberately wants to give the other party an advantage, so that she can tie the other party's hands and feet.

The Japanese team, led by Soji Yamada, was eager to win, but at the same time resorted to various strategies and means for victory. But that doesn't mean they will be despicable and unscrupulous, they want a victory in strength and strategy, not a despicable victory.

Therefore, Zhao Yan's move can be said to be to capture the past. She gave Yamada a way to win, but Yamada wouldn't use it anyway.

Even if you think about it further, Zhao Yan's hand is not only not a must-win for the other party, but it may also make Li Xiaotong invincible.

For the sake of face, Soji Yamada will definitely be very jealous when voting, even if Akemi Suzumiya can really get three votes, Soji Yamada will not necessarily give her three votes. Because once Akemi Suzumiya is given three votes, it means that they may be cheating on the Japanese side by taking advantage of the advantage in numbers.

Regardless of whether they have a clear conscience or not, it is inevitable that others may have this kind of misunderstanding.

I have to say that Zhao Yan's hand is really beautiful.

It's not that Zhao Yan doesn't trust Li Xiaotong's ability, she just doesn't feel happy that Yamada Soji calculated Lu Pingfan in the first round, although the other party didn't succeed. This made Lu Pingfan, who was sitting in the seat, couldn't help but smile, but he didn't expect the teacher to be upset for him, but he was a little surprised.

Zhao Yan glanced at General Secretary Yamada without being salty, and seeing that the latter did not speak, he urged: "Teacher Yamada, if there is no objection, please decide who you will participate in the vote." ”

"Just Muto-sensei, Yoshizawa-sensei and me. Soji Yamada said.

There were a total of three teachers in the Japanese delegation, so naturally they could only choose the three of them, and there was no other choice at all. As for Xicheng No. 10 Middle School, Zhao Yan couldn't participate, so she chose the principal and a female teacher who taught Chinese, named Miao Ying.

Then, Zhao Yan said: "The voting candidate has been decided, you two can start." The content of the competition is calligraphy, the font is not limited, the content is not limited, and the final vote determines the winner. ”

"I can write Japanese. Akemi Suzumiya asked.

Zhao Yan nodded and said, "Of course, Japanese itself also has the beauty of calligraphy." ”

Akemi Suzumiya received an affirmative answer, and began to study the ink.

Ink study is an extremely important part of calligraphy, and it is also a difficult link to grasp. If you want to write good calligraphy, you need to be good at ink.

The ink can't be too light or too thick. If you can't read clearly, too much moisture will cause the ink to penetrate excessively, and it is possible to directly stain the entire rice paper. If it is thick, the pen will not be smooth, and even the ink will be broken. Only a moderate concentration can help people write a good hand.

Generally speaking, when writing calligraphy, the work of grinding ink is usually left to an assistant. In this way, the calligrapher can concentrate on it and do it in one go, without any breaks in between, making the whole calligraphy look smooth and smooth.

However, with the arrogant personality of Akemi Suzumiya, she would definitely not hand over such an important work to others, so there was a scene where she personally studied ink.

But Li Xiaotong, who is her opponent, does not have so many concerns, on the contrary, Li Xiaotong also took the initiative to ask someone to help study ink. Then, people saw Lu Pingfan striding to his sister's side and began to skillfully study ink.

Compared with the meticulousness of Akemi Suzumiya when she studied ink, Lu Pingfan's movements were much more casual. But his casualness does not make people feel unsteady, and what everyone feels from him is a kind of calm and calm at hand. It's as if he's done this kind of thing countless times and has been integrated into his bones.

"Lu Pingfan's calligraphy level must be extraordinary!"

Zhao Yan and General Secretary Yamada thought in unison.
