Qin Zixiao looked for Xiao Xiawei all night, he waited outside her house all night, and he never waited for her to come back.

Called her in the morning, but she still didn't answer.

Thinking that she might go to watch Xiao Ran's game, he drove away.

When I saw her, she was wearing last night's evening dress, her shoulders were exposed, her thin body looked even thinner, her hair had been styled yesterday, perhaps unwashed, and now it was draped in a mess, covering half of her face.

Her face was very bad, her eyes were red and swollen, her lips were not bloody, and she looked like a wounded doll.

Such a slight stinging of his whole heart.

He took off his blazer and draped it over her.

He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry." The tone was full of guilt and self-reproach.

She stood still, her eyes were sour, tears were rolling, and her heart was in great pain.

His clothes are so warm, and his arms are so warm.

She wanted to be held by him like this all the time.

Just like that, he was hugged.

He is her son Xiao, he is her son Xiao.

The tears suddenly became uncontrollable, and she couldn't help crying, and the more she cried, the more excited she became.

She hugged him, she clutched his clothes tightly, as if she wanted to grab him, to grasp the relationship, but she knew in her heart that she was going to lose, she was going to lose him.

She finally burst out crying.

Qin Zixiao didn't expect her to be so excited, the more he hugged her, the more she cried.

He was so distressed that he shed tears.

He kept saying to her, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

He reached out and stroked her hair, her shoulders, her back, but she was still crying.

He couldn't comfort her.

But he couldn't comfort her.

……

At the recording site of the program, the Chinese team had an empty seat, and the other members were all in place.

No one thought that Xiao Ran would be absent from the game.

As a core member of the Chinese team, he did not come to the scene, which is really unexpected.

Temporarily in such a situation, the Chinese team had to make adjustments, Bai Bing decided to challenge the observation and mental arithmetic two events, although the mental arithmetic event she lost to the Japanese player Tsuchiya Ryuichi for three consecutive seasons, and then played against him, she was not sure at all, but now there is no stronger player than her on the field.

Professor Wei, the captain of the Chinese team, couldn't help but worry, because the mental arithmetic project was in front, if he lost the first game, he was worried that it would affect the games behind Bai Bing, and even everyone's psychology would be affected to a certain extent.

Just when everyone was cheering each other on, the program team informed that Xiao Ran was here.

Everyone in the scene looked at him.

I was looking forward to it, but when I saw him, I was stunned.

He used to be high and arrogant, but now, he looks embarrassed. His face was extremely bad, his hair was untidy, he was wearing yesterday's clothes, his clothes were still wet, and he didn't look energetic.

The host talked to him, the captain talked to him, he didn't listen to a word, someone pulled his arm, he didn't react, just looked at the audience motionless.

Next to her sat Qin Zixiao, but he only saw her. They looked at each other, tears welling up in his eyes, and he looked at her with pain.

She's bad, she doesn't look good at all.

He wanted to run over, he wanted to hold her in his arms, he wanted to tell her that he was sorry.

But when he saw Qin Zixiao holding her hand, he felt like he was nailed to the original, and he couldn't move.

The moderator handed him the microphone and asked him to introduce himself.

He didn't answer, just looked at her and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Such a soft voice, but so heavy to hear, she looked at him, her eyes were full of tears, tears formed into teardrops, fell to her fingers, a little cold, through the fingertips, cold to her heart, cold to her uncomfortable.

She was very uncomfortable, she was sitting here today was very uncomfortable, she was sitting next to Zi Xiao, she was already uncomfortable, she saw her, she was even more uncomfortable, he told her that she was sorry, she couldn't help crying, he wasn't sorry for her, it was her, sorry for her Zi Xiao.

She cried, how could he still stand.

He pushed away the host who was introducing himself to everyone with one hand, and was about to walk over with his feet, when someone grabbed him.

The situation was special, and the team leader, Professor Wei, had to apply to take Xiao Ran to the background to talk, and asked someone to find a set of clean clothes for him.

"You're not fit to play, you have a high fever and you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

He refused, saying, "No, I can." "He just wants to get out as soon as possible.

Professor Wei was very angry at his stubbornness, and he scolded him excitedly: "You can't. ”

He stood still.

Professor Wei continued, "This is an international competition, not a competition for you alone. After a pause, he said, "It's not that I don't play for you, it's that your state is not good, you just didn't even listen to what everyone told you, how do you concentrate on the game, so many people in the audience watching, so many people watching in front of the TV, I don't want and don't want to see my players lose face to my country, we Chinese are not afraid of losing, but we can't be ashamed." ”

The words were passionate, and Xiao Ran listened to them in the end.

"What kind of project is mental arithmetic, it needs to be memorized quickly, reacted quickly, calculated quickly, it requires 100% concentration to complete, and you are not suitable for this project right now."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Professor Wei continued: "I have decided to let Bai Bing complete it, although she is not as strong as you, but it is better than you to go up, you go back and go to the hospital......"

Xiao Ran interrupted him suddenly, he didn't even look back, and said firmly: "I can." Then he took a big stride and walked out.

He never cared if others looked at him or not, she only cared if she looked at it or not, and now she was sitting down there, she was watching him, and he had to go up.

There are five items in the international competition: memory, space, observation, mental arithmetic, and Rubik's cube.

The mental arithmetic project is divided into three rounds, the first round, lightning mental arithmetic, question type: three-digit tens of seconds addition operation, five-digit addition six-second operation, three-digit four-second addition operation, three-digit addition and subtraction four-second operation. All question types each question twenty sets of numbers, according to the time, the time for each question to appear on the screen is: ten seconds, six seconds, four seconds, four seconds, of which the three-digit addition and subtraction four-second operation is the most difficult, the average time for each number to appear is only 0.2 seconds, the player needs to remember a number in 0.2 time, four seconds must remember all the numbers, it is possible to calculate the correct answer.

In the second round, multi-digit multiplication, the question types are: five digits by five digits, six digits by eight digits, and seven digits by eleven digits.

In the third round, multi-digit division, the question types are: 12 digits divided by 6 digits, 15 digits divided by 8 digits, and 18 digits divided by 11 digits.

All questions can be answered by writing a complete answer, the correct score is scored, the wrong opponent scores, and the one with the highest total score wins.

Of course, Xiao Ran's mental arithmetic speed cannot be questioned, but today's state is really worrying.

When the host read the rules of the game with a hand card, he stood in the center of the stage, looking straight ahead, and didn't hear a word.

It wasn't until the start of the game that he withdrew his gaze.

The first question, the simplest three-digit tens of seconds addition operation, although it is the simplest, but the audience frequently exclaimed, and some people exclaimed: "God, my eyes are fine, I haven't seen this number clearly, how can they do it." ”

However, the two contestants on the stage, when the last number appeared, wrote the answer on the answer board at the same time.

Japan's Ryuichi Tsuchiya was the first to answer, and the audience exclaimed.

The captain and the members of the Chinese team couldn't help but feel pity, and the captain was even more excited, he stood up and shouted at Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, you have to remember what you said." ”

Xiao Xiawei stopped crying, just watched the game excitedly.

He lost, he lost the first question, how could he lose, how could he lose.

Qin Zixiao held her hand, only to feel that her palms were cold, but she was sweating.

The second question is a six-second operation of five-digit addition.

Everyone watched with bated breath, but Xiao Ran suddenly lowered his head and sneezed, the numbers were not finished, and the other party was one point ahead.

The captain was so anxious that he patted his thigh, shook his head and said, "No, his state is not good, I really shouldn't let him go up." ”

Xiao Ran, who had never tried to be defeated, suddenly lost two questions in a row, like a slap in the face.

The audience shouted to him to cheer, but he didn't seem to hear it, turned around, but saw Xiao Xiawei standing in the audience looking at him.
