The second selection is just around the corner, and the difficulty has escalated, and Xu Zhekai and I have started to upgrade the monster fighting mode side by side. Wake up an hour earlier every day and go to bed an hour later at night to snatch up time.

Grandparents also knew from Xu Zhekai that we were busy, and they felt very sorry for the two of us, and sometimes grandma would cook some nutritious and delicious meals for grandpa to send to school and hand them over to Xu Zhekai in person.

Grandma's craftsmanship is very good, even if she can't make too many complicated tricks to deliver food, but the taste is already quite good, compared to squeezing into the canteen to eat, it is simply too happy.

Every time I finished eating my grandmother's cooking, Xu Zhekai would call her and ask her not to work too hard, and when I happened to be by Xu Zhekai's side, I would also say thank you to my grandmother and praise her for cooking deliciously. Grandma always smiled gently on the other end of the phone, saying that she and Grandpa had nothing to do anyway, so it was just a workout.

In addition to delivering food, my grandfather will buy some fruits every time he comes, which I love to eat. Xu Zhekai once quietly told me that his grandparents specially asked him: "What kind of food does Yiyi like to eat and what fruits do you like to eat?" "I couldn't be more moved.

The three living treasures in the dormitory, every time they see me come back with a big bag of fruit, they look envious.

Xiaoru said: "The treatment of this granddaughter-in-law is good. ”

I didn't expect to say anything serious in Liu Jia's mouth, and sure enough, she said slowly: "Shen Yiyi, if you don't hurry up after graduation and get married and give birth to a big fat boy to the old Xu family, you really can't end it!" ”

I could only take out oranges, apples and other fall-resistant fruits from the bag and throw them at them, Liu Jia's words were not shocking: "Yo Yo Yo! You see, it's not, it's all right! Safe! Where is the premature son? Are there any jujubes? ”

I can't laugh or cry!

With the enthusiastic feeding of my grandparents, Xu Zhekai's life with Xu Zhekai was finally not so miserable. We also said that when we were done, we would buy gifts and go home to cook a meal for our grandparents to express our gratitude.

The second screening is about to start one day away, and due to the high-intensity intensive training we conducted during the May Day period, the interval between this time and the last selection is very short.

In fact, some of us will quit automatically without the selection of the higher authorities. Because the process is really hard.

At first, some people thought that it would be a good deal to be a volunteer to watch the game for free, but they didn't expect that before watching the game, they would have to go through half a year of devil training, and it was not necessarily whether they could be selected.

Some people think that the experience of being a volunteer can gild their resumes, but they don't expect that the gold may not be able to be plated, and their skin has been stripped of a few layers first.

Some students who were eager for quick success couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to quit.

And the rest of the people are all ruthless characters. Either they really like it, or they are the kind of people who have the perseverance to do things consistently. Xu Zhekai belongs to the latter, but not exactly, he still hopes to prove that he can, to prove that he can not only shine on those shining and performative stages, but also stand out in this extremely professional activity.

What is the reason for my perseverance? In the past, I thought it would be a good deal to be a volunteer and improve my abilities while watching the game. But when I entered the training stage, I realized how naïve my ideas were, and I couldn't support myself to the end with such thoughts alone. But I don't admit defeat, don't give up easily, and desire excellent habits keep me going, and at the same time, it is also to let Xu Zhekai see that there is a dazzling me next to him who is shining.

But in this time and space, 90% of my time and space is to accompany Xu Zhekai, in order not to let him fight alone, and in order to go hand in hand with him, and not to let him look down on me. And the remaining ten percent is because I am afraid that I will never be able to go back to this time and space, and my resume will be too simple in the future, which can be regarded as re-gilding across time and space.

Finally, it was the day of the selection, and it was still a written and oral exam. The difficulty has increased a lot compared to last time.

This time, we were not in the same examination room, and before entering our respective examination rooms, we hugged and expressed encouragement.

This oral examination is a random oral defense. The judges casually asked questions related to the competition and the athletes, and we answered them in spoken language. In addition to those professional questions, the judges will also ask some things that may be encountered in life.

I was the 10th in the second group for the oral exam. Xu Zhekai is the fifth in the fourth group. We waited on different floors and texted each other to cheer each other on.

When the students in front of me came out, they all looked sad and asked them how they played, and they all said that they were not ideal, but no one revealed what the teacher had tested, and even if they did, it was useless, after all, everyone's questions were different.

When it was my turn to go in, I took a deep breath and headed into the classroom.

In addition to being asked how to deal with emergencies in some competitions and the customs and taboos of some countries, one of the judges also asked me to speak in English about where I would take my foreign friends to visit Beijing if I were asked to take them.

This is a very broad question, and it would be easy to answer in Chinese, because there are so many places to go in Beijing. Needless to say, I lived here from college until I traveled in the last plane, so I don't know too much about it.

But the wider the scope of the question, the easier it is to speak loosely, and to answer in English, you have to be familiar with those words.

I thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, smiled, and replied with determination.

My answer was simply to concretize the big question, and I said that if time permitted, I could take my foreign friends to three places, the first place was my school, because here I had the opportunity to meet them, and I could also take them to see how we, the volunteers, the Chinese university students, were studying.

The second place I want to take them to the Trades Steps, because it is a place for young people to visit, and it is also a place where I have witnessed my love, and I want to share my joy with them. And it can also involve them in creating their own romantic opportunities.

The third place can be Beihai Park, I sang the song "Let's Swing the Sculls" to the judges while talking, I said that this is an indelible memory of every Beijing child's childhood, and it is also a better place to combine Beijing's graceful atmosphere with fireworks in the world.

The judges were obviously quite satisfied with my statement, and they later concluded that many students who had answered this question before would mention the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, but did not take into account the cost of time, while my answer not only has Beijing characteristics, but can also be close to life, and can also combine their own stories, which is more suitable for better communication with foreign friends, and is very affinity.

In fact, I was not as thoughtful as the judges said, I just played a little clever, and it was at that moment that I remembered some unforgettable footprints left by Xu Zhekai in Beijing after coming to this time and space. I said it because I felt it and was to the point, but fortunately, the amount of words and phrases was enough.

When I was about to walk out of the examination room after the questions were completely over, a young female teacher asked me with a smile on her face, "Is the World Trade Center Heavenly Rank confession and other things you just said really happening?" ”

I smiled and nodded a little embarrassed.

She and the teachers around her laughed, and one of them, who was a bit older, said, "It's so romantic and sweet!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh too.

By the time I came out, Xu Zhekai had already finished their group's oral exam and was waiting outside the lecture hall in our examination room.

Seeing me smile and walk out of the exam room with a relaxed face, he also smiled, as if relieved.

I walked up to him, gave him a hug, and whispered, "You're really my lucky star." ”

Xu Zhekai was a little curious, so I told me what happened in the examination room just now.

Xu Zhekai smiled and said, fortunately, the teacher didn't ask which nearby city you want to take your foreign friends to, if you asked, you would definitely tell you about the concert in Tianjin that day.

I also laughed and said, "That's really possible." ”

Xu Zhekai continued: "Anyway, I just keep living in your story, and there is always my legend in your mouth." ”

Laughing, we walked outside the school building to breathe. By the way, wait for the results of the secondary screening.

Because the number of participants in the second screening is much smaller than that of the first screening, and the follow-up training time is relatively limited, the test is completed on the same day, and the results will be released on the same day. After the written test in the morning, the teacher in charge of the written test worked overtime, but fortunately, the multiple-choice questions accounted for the majority, and there was a machine to directly review them.

The results of the oral test in the afternoon are relatively fast, and they are directly entered into the system, and the results of the written test can be added and checked before they can be announced.

We don't rank, we don't eliminate according to ranking, but there are passing scores for speaking and written tests, and even if the selection is passed, so you don't have to wait for all the candidates to finish, you can know yourself, it is the staff of each group who notifies everyone in the form of text messages. If there is an objection, we can go to the review immediately, so we can't leave the school immediately after the exam, so we can only wander around the teaching building and wait.

We sat on the benches in the front garden on the ninth floor, watching the spring breeze blowing the wickers, and watching the early-blooming flowers gilded with a golden glow in the evening sun.

I died too many brain cells in a day today, and I was in a state of excitement during the exam, and I didn't feel anything, but I was really tired when I rested!

I rested my head on Xu Zhekai's shoulder and closed my eyes to recuperate. I heard the rustle of the wind through the treetops, the sound of birds flapping their wings and flying into the distance, the sound of students talking, and the frolicking of kindergarten children coming home from school.

Suddenly everything feels so unreal. When I think back to the pictures I shared with the examiner during the oral exam just now, it seems as if those stories were not really happening to me, but I was telling someone else's story.

Now that I think about it, isn't that someone else's story, it was Shen Yiyi ten years later telling the story of Shen Yiyi ten years ago. Which Shen Yiyi is true and which story is true, I can't tell the difference.

In a daze, I heard Xu Zhekai's mobile phone ringing, which was a text message ringtone. I immediately sobered up from my ramblings and read the text messages with him. It is indeed a notification of the results of the exam.

Xu Zhekai, written test: 92 oral test: 90

Just as I was watching, my text message came.

Shen Yiyi, written test: 90 oral test: 95

The passing line was 80, and once again we passed the selection together.

The two of us cheered in unison and jumped towards the outside of the school. I patted Xu Zhekai on the shoulder as I walked and said, "Uncle did well in the exam today, Uncle invites you to dinner!" Xu Zhekai made a delicate appearance and said softly: "That little slave is better to obey than to obey!" ”

It doesn't matter what time and space he is, if he's really unreal, let's eat a good meal first, I'm starving to death!
