Chapter 26 Academic Competition
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the wind is howling and there is rain.
Winters in Shanghai are wet and cold.
The girl kept her head down, walking alone in the snow.
Xi Yuqing didn't know how she walked for more than forty minutes in one go, and she was confused along the way.
Mu Ne rang the doorbell, "Ding Dong-"
The aunt of the family opened the door.
"Ah, what's going on?" Aunt Shen looked concerned, "You kid...... Come on in! β
The girl was hurriedly brought closer to the house by the aunt at home.
Looking down at myself, my clothes were soaked, my hair was knotted and dripping with water, and my shoes were covered in mud.
Aunt Shen hurriedly brought a towel and poured another cup of hot water.
Yuqing was stunned and caught the hot water.
"Yuqing, what's wrong with you? Why don't you come back with an umbrella? Or ask your parents to pick you up? β
The grievance broke the embankment in an instant.
Aunt Shen ...... "All the things on my mind seem to have found a sense of security in front of the people I trust."
Aunt Shen gently comforted the girl who was crying while hugging her, this child must have encountered something, why did he cry so sadly?
Aunt Shen was also distressed.
Although she hasn't been in this house for a long time, she likes it when she sees Yuqing. Thinking that his daughter was studying abroad, he couldn't see it often, so he loved Yuqing as his daughter.
The girl cried happily for a while, then slowly sobbed and stopped her tears.
"Why can't he like me?" Yuqing choked up and muttered to herself, "Am I really that bad? β
Aunt Shen roughly guessed the reason why the girl was crying.
Wiping the girl's wet hair with a towel, Aunt Shen sighed, who is not yet young, "You like him, he doesn't like you, it's not that you are not excellent, it's just that you don't have fate." β
"Isn't it possible that if I stand tall enough he will notice me? Isn't it true that if I work hard enough, he will definitely like me? β
When Aunt Shen saw the girl's shining eyes, she couldn't bear to break the hope in her eyes.
In fact, life, how can there be so much wishful.
"Yuqing is so good, she will definitely meet more excellent boys." Aunt Shen comforted her.
"But...... I just like him. "I shook my head, and I felt that this was wrong. Obviously he ......... There are already people who like it!
Or is it yourself...... Once a good friend!
Aunt Shen touched the girl's head, "Don't think about it, Auntie will cook you ginger syrup." You're all soaking wet, hurry upstairs and take a hot shower. Get some sleep and you'll be fine. β
"Ahh
Yuqing tightened her soaked coat, and the coolness rose from the soles of her feet.
"Hurry up...... Hurry up and ...... Don't catch a cold by then. Aunt Shen hurriedly urged.
Yu Yu nodded and turned to walk up the stairs. Halfway through, I thought of something, "Aunt Shen, are my parents coming back today?" β
"Just now, your parents called and said that the hospital was busy, so they won't come back for dinner."
"Oh, I see."
Anyway, the hospital is always busy, and they are always busy.
Almost every time she ate, it was her and Aunt Shen, and she couldn't remember when their family had dinner.
"When you come back today, Auntie will make your favorite curry shrimp balls now, you go to the bath, and you can eat later."
Xi Yuqing knew that Aunt Shen cared about her, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile: "Okay." β
After taking a shower, there was already a hint of food wafting from the kitchen downstairs.
After Xi Yuqing blew her hair clean, she went downstairs and saw Aunt Shen bringing out the food.
3 dishes and one soup, refreshing and delicious, Xi Yuqing couldn't help but praise: "Aunt Shen, it's so happy to be your daughter." β
Aunt Shen sandwiched the curry shrimp balls into the girl's bowl, "Actually, your parents are also very concerned about you, but ah, they are usually too busy." β
"Really?" The girl's eyes darkened.
In her impression, her parents were cold to herself, and even to each other.
"Of course, eat more and eat more." Aunt Shen sandwiched another chopstick of beef and put it in the girl's bowl.
"Thank you, Aunt Shen." Xi Yuqing smiled slightly, what is real concern, she thinks she can feel it.
After eating, Xi Yuqing nestled in the study and read the materials of the academic competition.
After drinking a bowl of ginger syrup, I went upstairs early to sleep.
The following week.
Xi Yuqing devoted herself to the preparation of the academic competition.
It seems that this is the only way to numb yourself and not to think about things other than studying.
The days passed gently like flowing water.
A week later. Academic competitions.
This academic competition is the first academic competition between universities. A total of 11 universities participated.
The rule is that each school sends 30 people to form a 330-member academic team.
Each of the 11 top students from each school is sent in the middle of the field, and the rest are scattered around the field.
The academic questions answered are all-encompassing, among which the organizer provides an academic question bank, but the questions that are out of scope are all based on their own professional ability.
Since the organizer of this time is Venucia University, the contestants from each school and the cheerleaders from each school were welcomed early in the morning.
All schools are well prepared, with uniforms, banners, support props, and so on.
Star University is full of talents, and for the sake of fairness, basically each college sends 1-2 people, a total of 30 people.
"Mo Xiao, look-" Han Xueni pointed to the two cute words of support on her forehead, "Come on!" β
At the end of summer, Xiao smiled dotingly, "Okay." You sit in the audience. β
Han Xueni nodded obediently and raised her support stick.
was about to turn around, but when he turned around, he saw two familiar figures - Xi Yuqing and Tian Qinqin!
Xi Yuqing, she knows, she has always been a dazzling existence side by side with Mo Xiao in learning.
Unlike her, if she can rely on Mo Xiao's side, she doesn't want to read those thick academic materials.
But Tian Qinqin's appearance surprised her.
And it wasn't just Han Xueni who was surprised, but even the other students who came to support each other unexpectedly made eye contact.
"Well, our first academic competition is about to start. Please sit in the designated seats and wait for the contestants and support teams from each school. β
Hearing the announcement, everyone quickly found their place in the huge gymnasium.
"Hello everyone, we are Xu Kai, the doctoral supervisor of Venucia University, and we are also today's host. In order to enable our students to learn from each other, continuously improve their knowledge, and to make our university alliance more closely united, our first academic competition was born. β
In the voice of the host, everyone sat quietly, and the competition venue instantly fell silent.
"Let me introduce the leaders and guests who participated in this conference......"
Han Xueni looked in the direction of the host, and some scholars from university presidents and academic associations came.
This academic competition is very large.
"Now I would like to invite the President of Venucia University to make an opening speech for our game today."
Amid the cheers of the students, the old man with a little vicissitudes of life came to the stage.
Although the old principal is a little old, his back can stand up, and his speech is loud.
At the end of the speech, the host said: "Okay, now let's familiarize ourselves with the rules of the competition. Look at the big screenβ"
The rules of the first game are very simple, with a three-question elimination system, that is, if you answer three questions incorrectly, you will be out.
"Okay, now please send a representative from each school to the middle of the venue, and the rest are scattered on both sides."
The representative sent by Venucia University was Yu Gaoyu, but the representative of Star University did not come to the stage for a long time.
The counselor quietly ran to Shaw's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
The representatives sent by Star University are...... Late summer Shaw.
Everyone has some questions, isn't it Zhao Chenyi? After looking around the venue again, he didn't even see Zhao Chenyi's shadow.
One more glance at Tian Qinqin, he understood something.
Originally, everyone could think of the school forum as soon as they saw Tian Qinqin, but now Tian Qinqin is much more natural than before.
In this case, the implant has been removed, and the face has returned to normal after time.
If you look at it a few more times, you will still have a beautiful feeling that makes people shine.
At the end of the summer, Xiao thought about it and walked to the middle of the field.
"The competition has officially begun, now please confirm your identity information, and after confirmation, you can enter the answers, the questions are divided into language, history, geography, entertainment, etc. 15 categories, you can choose freely. Time is limited, so please hurry! β
Under the host's order, the competition venue was silent, and everyone was silently cheering for their school in their hearts.
Ten minutes later, some of the students turned off their iPads, which also meant that he had finished answering the questions.
Twenty minutes later. Start clearing the site. The defeated students could only move silently to the back of the audience.
The host looked at some of the frustrated juniors and said, "The ancient and modern mandao has been more and more from the beginning, and my generation and the Ming Dynasty are all pillars. Today's failure will be the motivation, and I look forward to seeing you in the second academic competition.
At the end of the clearance, the number of people on the field was reduced from 330 to 200.
The second game starts right away.
"The rules of the second game, please look at the big screen-"
The rules of the second game are also very simple. The topic is fixed. There are 10 questions in total, and each question accumulates 2 points, for a total of 20 points. At the end of the 10 questions, the players with the total score in the bottom 80 of the field are eliminated.
This time the difficulty was higher than the first, so in the second game, some players were sad and hesitant to choose the answer.
The end of the second round. There are 120 people left.
"For the last game of the day, please be ready. Let me explain the rules of the competition: "This time the questions are composed of three levels: easy, medium and difficult, and there will be different questions after different difficulties. Please choose according to your own situation, there will be 10 random questions on the iPad. Only this score will be accumulated, and those with the bottom 60 scores will be eliminated. β
The crowd exclaimed.
Is this going to be cut in half? That's cruel, isn't it?
In fact, no matter how difficult it is in the third game, the most important thing is to stabilize your mentality.
The end of the third inning. A list of those who have advanced appears on the screen.
However, the person in front of him was very tall, and Han Xueni tried her best to prop her head to watch the big screen.
Yu Gaoyu is the first. Tian Qinqin third. Late summer Xiao fourth. Sunset rain and sunny sixth. Looking further down, they are all people they don't know. By the twelfth year, there were students from Star University.
Without exception, the representatives in the middle of the venue remained on the list.
Take a closer look -
"Tian Qinqin is actually the second! Oh my God! Yang Guo next to her said what she wanted to exclaim directly, "Is Tian Qinqin so powerful?" β
I have to say that this also surprised Han Xueni very much, she was actually in front of Mo Xiao!
"I thought she was a vase, but I didn't expect that people were really relying on their strength." Yang Guo stuck out his tongue and knocked over his previous thoughts.
Han Xueni nodded approvingly.
Clean up the site. "Okay, now let's congratulate the 60 players who made it to the second game. Let's take a look at the total score rankings for the second and third games. β
The large screen quickly displays the list and total scores.
The girl quickly went to find the boy's name - the third Xiao at the end of summer. After a closer look, Yu Gaoyu was the first. Tian Qinqin fifth. Sunset rain and sunny sixth.
Han Xueni exclaimed, "Senior Yu, it's too powerful." β
"Xue Ni, do you know Yu Gaoyu from Venucia University?"
Han Xueni turned to Yang Guo and shook her head, "I don't know each other, but I met Senior Yu when I went to Venucia University for an interview before." β
"It's really good." Yang Guo sighed softly.
The girl was a little pouted, and resisted in her heart: Where is it, Mo Xiao is also very good. Who will be the first place in the next race?
ββ¦β¦ The first academic competition is over today, and we will continue to meet at Venucia University the day after tomorrow to witness the birth of the academic king, and please prepare and fight again! β
The game is over. The girl jumped up and ran to the boy's side.
He gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "Mo Xiao, you are awesome!" β
After speaking, he also praised himself, "It seems that my cheering gave Mo Xiao good luck, and I am really competent as a cheerleader." β
At the end of the summer, Xiao looked at the girl with a funny look and boasted to herself. "Alright, let's have dinner together!"
"Uh-huh, okay." As he was talking, Yuqing happened to walk down from the field.
"Are you going to dinner, Yuqing?" Han Xueni asked sincerely.
Xi Yuqing raised her eyes and looked at the girl, and then at the boy next to her, "I just don't happen to be hungry now, you guys go first." β
Han Xueni smiled slightly, "Okay, the game is awesome!" Come on! β
Xi Yuqing looked at the girl's brown eyes and smiled slightly, "Thank you, Xueni." β
