After the list of the top eight was announced, the runner-up Xu Senti yì walked around the campus together, although Liu Jingting deliberately kept quiet and low-key, everyone still set their eyes on the defending champion, there was no disbelief or jealousy in their eyes, everyone is a writer, naturally knows the insurmountable gap between them, so there is no heart of contrast.

"Liu Jingting, how is it?" asked the chubby Mamanda, tilting her head sideways.

"Yes, but I can't hang out with you for too long, I'm going to see a friend later. ”

"Then how long is the time to go around. Xu Sen said casually.

Eight young writers began to walk around the most prestigious school park, they looked around, while sighing with a literary and artistic atmosphere of the high unity of architecture and aesthetics, while muttering in their hearts: "I don't know how many cow coaxing characters have walked this road, like themselves at this time, leisurely looking at the picturesque campus scenery." ”

"In my opinion, there are at least three scenic spots in Vientiane that can be selected for the ten scenic spots, such as the library near the lake, such as the Sanxian Building, and the Plum Garden. ”

Condi, who finished sixth in the quarterfinals, said.

"Vientiane is originally a campus that combines tourism and academics, and it is open to visitors at a fixed time each year, especially in the winter when the plum blossoms are in bloom. Xu Sen continued.

"I see that the teaching buildings in the school park also have their own characteristics. Another student said yearningly, with the words "Let me stay" engraved on his face.

"By the way, Liu Jingting, you went to see the auditorium by yourself yesterday, and when I came out of the classroom, I saw you coming from there. ”

Liu Jingting nodded.

"How does it feel?"

"It's better to see than to hear, and it's true to the name. ”

"Then I'm going to go and see, it's hard to have such an opportunity, and I don't know when I'll be able to come here again next time. ”

This sentence suddenly reminded everyone. They still have a hard battle to fight tomorrow, and the atmosphere is a little calm, Liu Jingting said: "There is a scene today, and you will enjoy it today." ”

When the others heard this, the literary and artistic feelings in their bones suddenly recovered, and looking at it another way, if only one of these eight people could stay, it must be Liu Jingting, so what is there to worry about.

The atmosphere was re-enlivened, and so was the conversation between the retro campus buildings and the philosophical schools of ancient Greece and Rome. From Ancient Greece and Rome to the Enlightenment......

Because Liu Jingting, whose strength is unfathomable, has not spoken much, so although everyone talked about it strongly, when he made a statement, he still considered the wording many times, for fear that he would not be careful. Laugh at the generous house.

Everyone walked and talked, and finally turned to the auditorium. Liu Jingting said goodbye to everyone with a little apology: "I have read it carefully yesterday. That's it with you. ”

The seven people said goodbye politely, they really had a good impression of this champion, although they didn't talk much, but they were humble and peaceful, not at all the kind of arrogant tone, and occasionally had a few comments. It often hits the nail on the head and hits the nail on the head.

Talented and virtuous, and now that there is an opportunity, no matter how unenlightened people are, they also know that this person's future must be limitless. So when I talked to him, there was a lot of pressure, and deep down in my heart, I didn't have the idea of making friends.

……

Liu Jingting left Vientiane and went directly to Qiao Keli's school, Sunshine Union School.

At this time, it was already summer vacation, and the school was holding a summer camp, saying that it was a summer camp, but in fact, it was still taking care of the children for parents who did not have a summer vacation.

When Liu Jingting arrived at the school gate, he made a call to Qiao's mother to explain the situation, Qiao's mother received a call from Liu Jingting, both surprised and happy, since the last time I met the young fairy tale writer, Qiao Keli, who has never been interested in people, painted a portrait of Liu Jingting for the first time.

The Qiao couple thought that this might be an opportunity, but they were not good at always bothering Liu Jingting, but today Liu Jingting himself actually went to visit his daughter in person, which was really unexpected.

After Qiao's mother hung up Liu Jingting's phone, she immediately called Qiao Keli's teacher in charge and asked her to go out and take Liu Jingting into the classroom.

This was the third time Liu Jingting had seen Qiao Keli, he originally thought that the handsome girl in front of him had forgotten about herself, or had never remembered it, but when the girl looked at her, he found something familiar in that look, as if she knew herself.

"Hello, my name is Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting greeted Qiao Keli with a smile.

Qiao Keli still stared at Liu Jingting, but didn't say a word, and the young female teacher next to her said gently: "Keli, say hello to Brother Jingting." ”

Qiao Keli then said, "Hello. ”

Liu Jingting nodded and asked the female teacher, "What is she doing today?"

"Personally, she just likes to draw, but we will arrange for her to play games with other students and guide her to communicate with others. The female teacher regarded Liu Jingting as a surveillance officer sent by the parents, so the answer was particularly official.

Liu Jingting asked again, "Can you chat alone?"

"Well, I'm going to ask her. ”

"Oh," Liu Jingting looked at Qiao Keli again and asked, "Can you take me to see your paintings?"

To the surprise of the young female teacher, Qiao Keli actually nodded.

Qiao Keli took Liu Jingting to his desk, Liu Jingting saw that there was an unfinished gymnasium on the drawing paper spread out on the table, Liu Jingting asked, "Is this the gymnasium for Pipiru's model airplane competition?"

Qiao Keli glanced at Liu Jingting and answered this question with her eyes, Liu Jingting had an idea, and said, "I also want to paint a picture, is it okay?"

Qiao Keli pointed to the paintbrush and drawing board, Liu Jingting walked over seriously, and said with a thought: "I want to draw a big cat." ”

Qiao Keli looked like she was watching a good show, didn't speak, and didn't care.

Liu Jingting seriously pretended to be serious, and then began to write.

"I decided to start with the beard, well, three here, three here, ...... here."

A disapproving expression began to appear on Joe's face.

"Then I draw the eyes, the nose...... Ears ......"

Qiao Keli pursed her lips imperceptibly, showing that her hatred for Liu Jingting's brother was not steel.

"Finally, I made up the legs and tail of the body, and I was done. ”

Liu Jingting, who didn't have any painting skills, deliberately drew a four-like one, a pig's nose, big and small eyes, horse hooves, and a dog's tail. After Liu Jingting admired himself, he took the "Four Differences" and asked Qiao Keli: "How is my big flower cat painting?"

Qiao Keli tilted her head slightly, and laughed silently and shallowly.

Liu Jingting's goal was achieved, and he was happy in his heart, and he still pretended to be stupid and stunned on his face: "What's the matter, isn't my flower cat good-looking? Why don't you draw one for me?" He said and gave way of his seat.

Jocly silently walked over to the drawing board and picked up the paintbrush.

Three minutes later, a vivid cat appeared on the drawing paper, and Liu Jingting said in disappointment: "It's still so similar so soon, I feel like I'm drawing a pig." ”

Joe Keli lowered her head. The smile on his face gradually spread.

At this time, a little boy jumped in front of Liu Jingting and shouted, "I want to paint too." The teacher who followed him said, "That's Klee's drawing board." ”

The little boy said frantically: "Eat me quickly, eat me quickly, I don't want to be Gu Jialiang." I'm going to be Jocly. ”

The young teacher smiled and said to Liu Jingting: "As long as he sees others doing what he is interested in, he will want to become that person." ”

Liu Jingting stayed in the sun for nearly two hours. Chatting with Joe Keli took up an hour. Although from beginning to end, Joe Colli uses monosyllables, "um", "oh" or does not make a sound at all, and only responds with her eyes and expressions.

For the remaining hour, Liu Jingting stood quietly to the side, watching the teacher organize the students to play games, and the little boy named Gu Jialiang was only four years old this year. But he is an out-and-out genius, and when it comes to doing numerical calculations, he is faster and more accurate than his teacher, according to a teaching assistant. Gu Jialiang is an avid reader, especially in architecture and astronomy, and is now self-taught French.

Liu Jingting was secretly surprised when he heard it, even if he had seen high-IQ autistic patients in books and film and television works, but at this time, he saw a four-year-old genius who taught himself French by himself and had a higher English vocabulary than the teacher, and he still had the illusion that his IQ was suppressed.

Only in this way does it seem lonely and alone.

"A lonely child is the grace of creation", Liu Jingting thought of this lyric again, and then his eyes fell on Qiao Keli, and it happened that she also turned her head to look at herself, Liu Jingting smiled and nodded at her, and Qiao Keli continued to play with peace of mind.

……

When Liu Jingting returned to Vientiane, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, she went to the cafeteria to eat first, and then made a phone call with Mihu, she was busy going abroad today, and she was anxious.

After ending the call with Mihu, Liu Jingting made another call to Qiao's mother, roughly talked about today's events, and then asked, "Keli, how often does she usually laugh?"

Qiao's mother sighed and said, "I have laughed no more than five times in more than ten years." ”

"I saw her smile a few times today, and asked casually. ”

"A few times!" said Qiao's mother.

Liu Jingting thought that Qiao's mother was a question sentence, thought for a while, and said, "Two or three times." ”

Mother Qiao didn't know whether she was shocked or incredulous, she paused for a while, and was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Liu, can I ask you for one thing, if it is convenient in the future-well, can I ...... it?"

Liu Jingting continued: "I will often go to see Klee, and she promised to teach me how to draw." ”

"Yes, that's great!" said Joe's mother's joy.

"By the way, does Klee have a cousin named Qiao Ze?"

"No, I haven't heard of this person, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, maybe I heard it wrong. ”

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jingting carefully recalled the girl named Qiao Ze, and felt that it was a mystery, belonging to the kind of place where you know that something is wrong, but you don't know what is wrong.

What he can't think of clearly, Liu Jingting's usual practice is to put it on hold.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, the quarterfinals arrived as scheduled, and everyone was surprised and worried that the topic of the final would be personally presented by Director Kang.

In addition, due to the sudden arrival of Director Kang, a temporary adjustment has been made to the rules of the competition - Director Kang wants to add questions!

In the previous competition, due to time constraints, the length of everyone's articles was generally short, which was obviously not fair to those slow-heating players, so Kang Yuanchang's question was to limit the number of words, requiring at least 10,000 words, and there was no cap, but the time can be graced to 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to hand in the paper, which means that the extra question can not be completed on the spot.

There is even a kind of fishing law enforcement style.

How do you know that Director Kang's limit is completely aimed at Liu Jingting.

Then, the founder of Vientiane, Professor Kang Yuchang, appeared in front of everyone.

About fifty years old, slightly chubby, flat-headed, black cardigan, kind complexion, radiant, walking fast, speaking as fast as walking, when speaking, the tone is not very big, but it is very infectious, compared to Hu Jian, who is also in the high place, there is more tranquility and back to nature nature.

When the eight contestants couldn't laugh or cry, the first question made by the world-famous principal was even more sloppy than that of Professor Hu.

"When I entered the class, I picked up a leaf on the side of the road, and thought that maybe it was providence, so I overturned the previous question, and everyone wrote an article on the topic of leaves. As for the second question, I'll think about it after you hand in your first article. ”

After listening to Director Kang's words, Liu Jingting also smiled in his heart, and said secretly: "Isn't it the will of God, let's do it again, just enough for a table of mahjong." (To be continued......)
