The day passed quickly, whether it was Yu Bai or Luoshui, the two of them didn't look like they came to participate in the competition, but they were quite embarrassed and playful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the morning of June 1st, the day when the results of the semi-finals were announced, the two of them walked leisurely from their residences to the bulletin board of the organizing committee.

In fact, the news can be queried on the official website, maybe it is more feeling to see it in person, just like the top exam in ancient times, the ranking is important, but the moment you look at the list is also exciting.

Both the participants and the onlookers are happy to do it.

Looking at the crowd in front of them, the two of them stood in the distance and no one thought of squeezing over.

"Why don't you go over?" Luo Shui smoked a cigarette, and after asking, he found that Yu Bai was just staring at the bulletin board with two eyes, neither speaking nor wanting to go up, and then continued, "Nervous? It's right to be nervous, such a big competition, let alone the first prize, even the consolation prize behind it can make people happy. ”

Yu Bai shook his head, "Do you believe me when I say that I will definitely be able to enter the finals?" ”

His words made Luo Shui, who shook his head, stunned, but quickly patted his thigh and stood up, "Of course you can enter like this, not only do you have to enter the finals, but you also have to win the first place, otherwise my trip will not be in vain." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"How else can I say it, I have known you as a friend since I came to Shanghai, and if you take the first place, I will also be clean."

Yu Bai smiled and squeezed into the crowd.

In fact, as Luo Shui said, he came here this time at most to fulfill the dream in his heart, just like the previous Xiucai, even if he knew that he was not that material after reading a lifetime, he had to take a symbolic imperial examination.

As for the semi-finals, there will be no ranking order, and only the shortlists of each group will be announced.

After looking for a while, he saw that the word Yu Bai was on the shortlist, and as for Luo Shui, as he expected, he fell off the list.

As a result, before it comes out, it will always be thought over and over again, but after it comes out, it will be deliberately abandoned.

For example, Yu Bai and the two, after Yu Bai came out, he just nodded, Luo Shui knew the result, and then yelled to help him celebrate, while Yu Bai echoed his words.

What to celebrate?

Nobody said.

Although Luo Shui had long known that this would be the result, no one was unwilling to have a miracle, so naturally he would not mention it, and Yu Bai would not take off the band-aid he had just put on.

It is said to be a celebration, but it is actually a simple meal, because the finals will be held in the afternoon of the same day.

There were more than 4,000 people in the preliminary round, more than 600 in the semi-finals, and less than 200 in the finals. This progressive ratio still shows the cruelty of the game.

Originally, Luo Shui could leave today with the results, in his words, from the first time he saw him on the train, he knew that he was extraordinary, and he must be the life of the champion, so he had to wait until the final results came out.

Actually, you don't have to wait too long, the exam will be held this afternoon, and the results will be released tomorrow, and then the awards will be presented and something like that.

Yu Bai nodded, asking him to wait for his good news.

Since it was the first competition, no one knew that there was no third place in the competition here, and the first place was also in a tie.

But in Yu Bai's heart, he not only has to win the first place in this competition, but also has to be the one who is an instant hit.

The final venue was held at Shaw College in Shanghai, starting at half past one, the time was also three hours, and ending at half past four.

At half past twelve, Yu Bai rushed over accompanied by Luo Shui, thinking that an hour in advance was considered early, but when he came to the school gate and saw a group of people, he realized that this hour was really not early.

Candidates are waiting outside because they have to wait until one o'clock before they can enter the venue or register or find their own examination room.

During the half hour of waiting, I could see people hanging invigilator badges one after another, most of them were middle-aged men, and they were not polite, after all, many literati looked quite rough, but their occupations could be seen in their behavior.

Even if you squeeze into the crowd, you won't make a lot of noise, but calmly shout "borrow, borrow." ”

The weather at the beginning of June is supposed to be hot, but Shanghai City is located on the coast, and it is the rainy season from May to September.

The weather is like a can that has been stuffy for a few days, not vomiting or unhappy, like it may rain at any time.

The two were in a nearby cold drink shop, waiting to enter, Yu Bai glanced at the clouds outside, and said to Luo Shui, who didn't lower his head and didn't know what to think.

"Hey, I'm about to enter the venue, why don't you go back first, anyway, it's just an exam today, and the results will be out tomorrow."

"No, it won't be long, I'll send you." After Luo Shui finished speaking, he sat in a Beijing paralysis posture, his head hung very low, and it seemed that he could fall asleep at any time.

His appearance reminded Yu Bai of the scene when he first met.

Wu smiled to himself, and stretched out his hand to push him, "You were like this on the first day we met, you have been playing so crazy for the past two days, go back to sleep." ”

Speaking out again, Yu Bai really couldn't bear to see him stay up like this, because Yu Bai stayed up late in his previous life, and the pain of lack of sleep was not comfortable.

It's just that this time Luo Shui didn't respond, as if he was asleep. But in such a short time, it was impossible to really fall asleep, so Yu Bai wanted to get up and walked over to see him off.

Maybe I was too focused and didn't notice someone coming over, and just got up when I heard a cup fall on the ground.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that I didn't see anyone in the aisle because of my sudden movements, so I hit the cup in the girl's hand on the ground at once.

It's just so accidental, so accidental that you can't predict it.

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. ”

It's strange that the two of them said sorry at the same time, and most of the scenes like this can only be seen on TV. Because in reality, being hit is usually accompanied by reprimands and insults.

It was only at this time that Yu Bai realized that the woman in her early twenties opposite was very good-looking and well-dressed, and in Yu Bai's heart, she belonged to a little girl. So after a short look, he apologized again.

"I'm so sorry I didn't pay attention."

The girl didn't seem to be annoyed, but she was in a hurry, and took a few paper towels on the table to wipe the water stains on her body, "You are a student who came to compete, you should enter immediately, remember not to be late." ”

It was also at this time that Yu Bai noticed that the badge hanging on her chest had the words Shen Wenjuan, the invigilator of Group B of the New Concept Essay Competition, written on it.

"That...... Are you a proctoring teacher? "No matter how old he is, on this occasion and under such circumstances, Yu Bai is just a teenager.

may have seen that he was a little nervous, or it may have been scratched by Yu Bai's touching of the back of his head and his smiling apology.

Shen Wenjuan shook her head, "What, do you want to set it up?" Tell you, it's not right to do this, and besides, I'm invigilating Group B, and they're all kids, so I can't take care of you even if it's close. ”

"I really didn't mean that, I just wanted to apologize."

"This is a race with you......" said the girl, a little strange in her eyes, because no contestant would be in this state.

Yu Bai then explained, "Yes, I was just brushed down in the semi-finals and didn't make it to the finals, so I came to see it off today." ”

"Okay, I wanted to have something to drink before I went in, but now I can only take it with me, good luck."

Like an ordinary encounter, Shen Wenjuan bought a drink and left with it in her hand.

Exhaled, touched his forehead, and went on with what he hadn't done.

"Let's go, I want to go back to sleep......" Seeing that Luo Shui didn't react, Yu Bai thought he was pretending, "What?" You still want me to carry you out! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Bai smiled and pushed him again, and it was this push that finally made Yu Bai see his miserable white face and gritted his teeth and endured pain.

"Damn, what's your situation?"

Seeing this scene, Yu Bai was so frightened that he immediately went over and dragged his body that was about to fall to the ground, and hurriedly asked.

Ke Luoshui seemed to be in pain, except for the gurgling of his teeth, he couldn't say a word, and in just a moment's effort, he could see beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"it, hold on, I'll take you to the hospital."

Even if he doesn't know the situation, he can see that Luoshui is sick, although he doesn't know what disease he had, but if it can develop to this point in such a short time, it must not be delayed any longer.

So Yu Bai immediately put Luoshui on his back and rushed out.

But as soon as he came out, he found that the sky was drizzling, Yu Bai looked up at the gray sky, and it was this effort to raise his head, and the rain was gradually increasing.

Looking at the increasingly dense and rapid raindrops in front of him, Yu Bai knew that it would rain heavily soon, so he didn't procrastinate, and walked towards the street not far away, thinking about finding a taxi.

It's just a pedestrian in the rain, and the only reaction that can be done in the face of the sudden heavy rain is to speed up the pace.

Yu Bai was also really panicked, after all, there were not many such situations, and all he was thinking about now was to quickly find a car and send Luoshui to the hospital. In this case, a lot of issues are overlooked, such as the upcoming time of the finals, such as ...... Pedestrians in a hurry.

"Oops!"

With a scream, Yu Bai fell down in response, barely struggling to get up, and saw a woman in her forties on the opposite side with an unhappy face, pointing at Yu Bai and scolding.

"I didn't open my eyes when I walked! Such a big living person can't see it! Look at you knocking me on, hey, hey......"

Yu Bai didn't even look at her, at this time Luo Shui hummed even more, and the whole person was trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold rain or because of the aggravation of the pain. After running all the way, Yu Bai no longer had the strength to put him on his back, and no one helped, so he held him in his arms and continued to look for the car.

But the woman didn't give up, and when she saw that Yu Bai was leaving, she went up and grabbed him.

"Let's go? I didn't even apologize, I just wanted to leave, you kid is too rude, if you don't ...... today"

"You're enough! Didn't you see my friend getting sick? ”

I don't know if I was annoyed by her attitude, or I was anxious about not being able to get a taxi, so I turned my head and yelled.

Only then did the woman notice Luo Shui who Yu Bai was holding, pursed her lips at the moment, and muttered quickly away.

At this moment, in the distance, there was a girl in her early twenties, holding a burger and a drink in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

"Why haven't you entered yet?"
