Mucha clenched his fists and looked at the host, only to find that the host was standing in place with red eyes.

She walked over and gently touched the host's arm, and when she saw the host come to her senses, she handed over a piece of paper and returned to the podium.

The host's applause rang out from the audience, breaking the silence, and in less than a second, the classroom resounded with applause one after another.

After the judges finished scoring, Mucha bowed deeply, returned to his seat, and saw the thumbs up of his two friends.

Mucha smiled, sat down, leaned on the back of the chair, breathed a long sigh of relief, felt the back cold, and touched it with his hand, it turned out that his underwear was soaked with sweat.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the English speech contest of the four middle schools in Fanhe County is about to come to an end.

The host took the freshly released scores and read out the results of the competition: "Thank you very much for participating in this English speech competition, and we will announce the scores of the 14 contestants. In this scoring, we removed the highest score and removed the lowest score, and the final score of player No. 1 was 9.3 points, and player No. 2 was ......"

There was a round of applause from the audience, and the vice principal of Fanhe No. 1 Middle School came to the stage and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Thank you again to all teachers and students, this English speech contest with the theme of "Youth and Dreams" has made us full of harvest, and I announce the top three students in the first place, the first and second places are Chen Ting and Zhao Minghao in the first middle school, and the third place is Mucha in the fourth middle school, congratulations to them. ”

Subsequently, the vice principal of No. 1 Middle School and six judges presented certificates and prizes to the contestants for encouragement.

Muxia, who thought that her performance was average, did not expect to win the third place, and after she walked out of the experimental building, she hugged He Miao and Yang Yueyue and whimpered.

He Miao heard the sound of crying and asked, "Xia Xia, why are you crying?"

"I'm just so excited to have the opportunity to study hard, everything is getting better, it's really good." Mucha sniffed and wiped away her tears.

After a while, the judges and teachers talked to each other and walked out of the laboratory building.

Seeing that Mucha was still there, Teacher Xu walked over and patted her on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Muxia, you are doing well, I communicated with other judges and teachers just now, and you lost points this time mainly in your appearance. Next time, you should pay more attention to this aspect. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, when is the final? What is the theme of the finals? After Mucha understood the reason for the loss of points, he asked with a complacent expression.

Seeing that Muxia's expression had not changed, Mr. Xu praised it, nodded, and said, "With change as the theme, you write your speech first on the weekend, and after class on Monday, take the time to come to me, the time for the finals has not yet been decided, but you still have to prepare as soon as possible, and it is always right to practice more." ”

At the gate of No. 1 Middle School, after the three of Mucha and Teacher Xu waved goodbye, they discussed what to eat while walking.

"This kind of weather is the most suitable for eating hot pot." Mucha zipped up the school uniform, trying to hide her bare neck in the cold wind.

He Miao quipped: "Just the two dollars in our pockets, it's almost the same as drinking the northwest wind."

"Let's go, I can't afford the deluxe version of the hot pot for the time being, I invite you to eat a simple version of the hot pot, if I don't have your encouragement today, I will definitely not play well." Mucha caught the wind and walked forward.

The other two were a little confused, and asked in unison, "What is a simplified version of hot pot?"

"It's spicy hot, let's take some skewers, cook some powder, and pour more soup, isn't it a hot pot." Let's go to the poetic Malatang, the pearl powder of that house is Q bomb. Mucha said, swallowing her saliva.

"Ha~ha~, Xia Xia, when did you become so humorous?" He Miao smiled, put her arms around Muxia's shoulders, and bent over with a smile.

The three of them laughed, and after a few minutes, Yang Yueyue suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Xia Xia, which direction is the poetic spicy hot shop you are talking about?"

"It's right over there at the bus station, what's wrong? I don't know exactly which direction it is, but She knows the way. Mucha looked at the unfamiliar environment around her, and didn't notice that something was wrong, after all, she rarely came to Yizhong.

After He Miao heard Yang Yueyue's words, she stopped, looked left and right, and patted her forehead, "Let's go the wrong way, I just talked and didn't look at the road, I thought you all looked at the road."

Mucha laughed embarrassedly: "I was just thinking about what to eat, and I'm still a bit of a road idiot. I usually go out to remember the way, but this morning when I came a little nervous, I forgot to remember the way. So how do we go here? ”

"Come with me, we'll go back the way we came. Xia Xia, last time, the two of us went to the library, why didn't I find out that you are still a road idiot? He Miao led the two of them in the right direction.

In the poetic spicy hot shop, business is booming, full of sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys and girls.

When the three of them entered, they heard their heated discussions.

"I saw you in early June and there is a new article, you listen to this passage, life is a process of continuous growth and creation of yourself, living in blind comparison, you will only lose yourself day by day, take your eyes back to yourself, listen to your inner voice, and then you will have the source of continuous upward power. It really went to my heart. ”

"I am also now, I must read every issue of "Reader", and every time I read the articles I saw in early June a few times before reading the others."

"I hope I can write more articles on youth growth in early June, every time I read his articles, I have different gains."

"I guess I'm a new author in June, and his articles have only appeared in the last few issues of The Reader."

"As long as the article is well written, it doesn't matter if he is an old author or a new author."

"Aren't we talking about this article, how about the author? But I also hope that I can keep writing in June, his article is a light in the direction of my life, I have been confused before, I have no motivation to study, I happened to see his article, I determined my learning goals. ”

"And what is your learning goal?"

"I want to be a highly educated soldier."

Standing in front of the large freezer, Mucha listened to the discussion next to him while taking the skewers, and his heart was happy, "Dear readers, don't worry, I will keep writing, and it is my honor to help you."

Mucha suddenly remembered that the editor of "Reader" asked her to send the article to her QQ mailbox, and it seemed that she had to find a time to go to the Internet café to type out the document.

The three of them took the skewers, ordered their favorite noodles, and sat down when they saw the waiter clean up a table.

Mucha looked through the canvas bag, saw the notebook where he wrote the article, and asked, "What are you going to do after dinner?"

"I have nothing to do." Yang Yueyue looked at the environment in the small shop and replied casually.

He Miao hooked his palms, and after the three of them put their heads together, they whispered: "I want to go to the Internet café to play, do you want to go?"

"Can we go to an Internet café?" Yang Yueyue was incredulous.

Mucha observed He Miao's expression and said seriously: "No problem, but you still have to go less, there are too many temptations on the Internet, if your self-control is not high, it is easy to become addicted, and it will affect your studies."

"Don't worry, I was there with you last time, and I haven't been there again, and now learning is the most important." He Miao saw Mucha staring at her directly, and immediately said.

Mucha looked at He Miao's sincere eyes, and then glimpsed Yang Yueyue's longing eyes, and emphasized again: "If anyone wants to go to an Internet café in the future, they must go together, after all, a person's strength is limited, let's go for an hour this time, is it okay?"

"Yay!" The other two high-fived and cheered in unison.

Mucha ate a simple version of hot pot, settled the bill in advance, followed He Miao, and walked to the Internet café.

He Miao took the five yuan and handed it to Muxia, "Xia Xia, give you the money for Malatang."

Mucha shook the hands of the two of them, "You all take back the money and say I'm in for a treat." Seriously, without your company and encouragement, I really wouldn't have been able to achieve such a good result in today's competition. ”

"But we practiced with you, and our spoken English has also improved, besides, I don't live on campus now, and I don't spend money on food, you still take it, but don't eat well in order to save money." He Miao persuaded him.

"Don't worry, I have enough money, I just want to express my gratitude first, and then I can save some money, let's go eat real hot pot." Mucha held the two of them and imagined a delicious hot pot.

He Miao no longer persuaded Mu Xia, turned her head and said to Yang Yueyue, "Yueyue, when you and Xia Xia are eating, keep an eye on it, if she doesn't eat well, you tell me."

"Okay, I'll look at her." Yang Yueyue agreed with a smile.

Mucha listened to the conversation between the two people next to him, full of emotion.

The wind blew away the dark clouds, the midday sun shone warmly on the earth, and the three of them walked through the lively streets, leaving a smile like silver bells from time to time.

When he came to the Internet café, Mucha was relieved to see that the boss of the "Kill Matt" style was not there, and put on his pink hat again.

Thinking of the last time she went online, she was found by her idle boss and exchanged a lot of Matt-killing culture, Mucha was really afraid of being caught by the boss again, and discussed various Matt-killing styles with him.

After all, Mucha has witnessed the heyday and decline of the Matt-killing culture, and a little suggestion will also make the boss who loves Matt's style gain a lot.

The network manager turned on the machine for the three of them, and after Mucha hurried to write the word document, he sent it to the editor's mailbox.

She searched and sorted out some materials for the English speech, and arrived in an hour.

The three of them came out of the Internet café and separated.

Yang Yueyue went to her aunt's house, which happened to be here, very close to her aunt's house.

He Miao was worried that Mucha would go the wrong way again, so she sent Mucha to the school gate and went home.

Standing at the school gate, Mucha was a little idle, she looked at the electronic watch on her wrist, and saw that it was only two o'clock in the afternoon, so she returned to the dormitory, took Xiao Mazha, and went to the library.

At lunchtime, the discussions that Mucha heard made her have some ideas.

When she came to the library, she still went to read the latest magazines first, and copied a few sample essays and good words and sentences.

Afterwards, Mucha went to the bookshelf of psychology, ready to find out if there was any way for her to relieve her tension.
