Mucha was lying on the bed, her eyes that had not been myopic and her vision was still 5.0, and she could see clearly at a glance the Chinese characters on the cover of the magazine in Chen Ting's hand.

"You also like to read The Reader."

"Mm-hmm, I read every issue, I'm a big fan of it. Xia Xia, do you like to watch it too? Chen Ting took the book and came over to sit on Muxia's bed, "Let's read it together, this is the latest issue, I just bought it in the bookstore next to it." ”

"Thank you, come to the bed, let's lean on the head of the bed, it's more comfortable." Mucha patted the bed and pulled out a bag of melon seeds from her bag.

"Fellow travelers, Xia Xia, is still my favorite golden pigeon melon seeds."

The two sat on the bed, munching on melon seeds and discussing the contents of the magazine.

"Look, this is the author of my recent fan, I feel like he has installed monitoring on me, and every time I write an article, it can always solve the confusion I have encountered recently." Chen Ting pointed to the inner page, and said excitedly when she saw a few words in early June.

Mucha read his article with an unchanged expression, "You also like this author's article?" ”

"The article is very meaningful, not the kind of simple chicken soup article, I love it so much. I think that the first meeting in June may be the vest of a certain great god, and I have compiled and copied every article he wrote, and I really hope that he will be able to publish a book in the future, and if I can see him one day, I will definitely give him all my snacks. Chen Ting held the book with a yearning expression.

Mucha smiled, "Your wish will definitely come true." Let's rest early, and tomorrow there will be a speech contest. If you don't behave well, don't cry. ”

"Hmph, you're just crying, I'm an adult." Chen Ting looked arrogant, but she also packed up the melon seed skin.

"Then let's talk about it, friendship first, competition second."

Mucha threw the melon seed skin into the trash, and saw Chen Ting jump and jump onto another bed.

A good night's sleep.

Early in the morning on November 2, Mucha's biological clock rang automatically.

Mucha sat up energetically and stretched, feeling that her whole body was full of energy.

She quietly got dressed, and after washing up in the bathroom, she gently walked out the door, intending to walk around the neighborhood.

In today's Huahai City, there are not many private cars and high-rise buildings, and the air in the early morning is filled with a faint earthy fragrance.

At this time, there are only a few pedestrians scattered on the street.

Mucha walked along the street, and on the corner, found a breakfast shop.

Business inside is very hot, or high school students in school uniforms, or lonely professional elites in formal clothes, sitting on benches, burying their heads in front of breakfast.

There are also housewives who wear cotton coats casually, lining up at the window, choosing food for the children at home.

At the back of the line, Mucha looked up at the menu in front of him, and chose two large vegetarian buns and two millet porridges, ready to pack them back and eat them with Chen Ting.

"Xiaoting, have you packed up? I brought breakfast and let's eat it together. ”

"Thank you, Xia Xia. Did you buy it at that breakfast shop around the corner? After Chen Ting finished washing, she stared at the golden millet porridge on the table.

Mucha washed his hands and said in surprise: "How do you know? ”

"I come to my grandmother's house to play on holidays and often eat breakfast at his house, and I know it when I look at the packaging. Especially this millet porridge, the taste is really amazing. ”

Mucha gave Chen Ting a bun, "Then let's eat." ”

Chen Ting took the steamed bun and divided it into two halves, "Wow, my favorite vegetarian stuffed bun." It seems that the two of us can become friends, and it is really not ordinary. ”

"Haha, it must be a special fate. Let's eat quickly, and go to Huahai Middle School after eating. ”

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, the 2007 Huahai English Speech Contest Finals officially began.

There were a total of 10 students in the finals, and after the contestants drew lots one by one, they took the stage to give speeches in order.

The first to take the stage was a handsome boy, he was wearing a white shirt, a beige long trench coat, and a pair of black jeans inside, looking very energetic and energetic.

Each contestant still had five minutes to speak, and soon, it was time for Mucha to speak.

This time the number drawn by Mucha was "5", a middle position.

"Here is Mucha, a contestant from Fanhe No. 4 Middle School." After a brief introduction by the host, Mucha took control of the audience.

I saw that Mucha had short ear-length hair, a black sweater layered with a white shirt with a stand-up collar, a blue and white school uniform, and a pair of clean white sneakers.

During the speech, Mucha controlled the atmosphere of the whole room, her eyes communicated with the judges from time to time, and her facial expressions and gestures were highly consistent with the content of the speech.

After the speech, she smiled and bowed, and after the judges scored the scores, she stepped down gracefully.

After an hour and a half, all ten contestants finished their speeches, and Mucha and the others were given a half-hour break.

Coming out of Zhixing Building, Mucha asked Chen Ting to walk comfortably on the playground of Huahai Middle School.

"Xia Xia, you are really hidden! Your performance on stage was really fantastic, I wasn't nervous at all, and I was very touched by the content of your speech. ”

"What's not to be nervous? I just learned to harness my nervous energy. Mucha took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Chen Ting stopped, tilted her head and asked, "How do you do it, can you teach me?" ”

"Yes, it's very simple, yoga and three-stage breathing, and after deliberate practice, you can harness the tension energy."

"I know yoga, but what is this three-stage breathing method?"

Mucha explains: "The three-stage breathing method is really a mindfulness exercise, and it ......"

Thirty minutes later, the six judges gave the final results, starting with the lowest score and reward, and Mucha sat upright in his seat and listened to the host read the results.

In this competition, Mucha has already harvested what she wants most, and at this time, she is a little Buddha about the result of the competition.

With the announcement of the list of winners of the contestants, Mucha Zaifo also became excited with everyone.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a student who doesn't want to be a champion is not a good student.

Of the only three remaining rankings, Mucha is also eager to win the championship, although she feels that she has performed quite well in the speech, but it is the judges who score it.

She can't control the thoughts of the judges, and if she "swoops", she will give herself a champion.

"If she can control others with her mind, she will definitely let the judges give her a champion." Mucha couldn't help but laugh out loud as she imagined that beautiful scene, but she didn't hear that the host on the stage had already finished reading her name.

Everyone waited for Mucha to come on stage to accept the award, but she was still immersed in her imagination and laughed happily.

It wasn't until Chen Ting came down after receiving the award, sat next to Muxia, and shook her arm, that Mucha woke up like a dream.

"What's wrong? Xiaoting. ”

Before Chen Ting could say anything, the host on the stage read out again, "Champion: Fanhe Sizhong Muxia!" ”

Mucha was stunned and pointed at herself, she had never won an award in her previous life.

"I think our Mucha classmates are so happy, I haven't reacted until now, everyone with warm applause, congratulations to Mucha." The host said mildly.

In the applause of everyone, Mucha slowly walked up to the stage, with a decent smile on his face, and bowed deeply:

"Hello everyone! I'm Mucha, and I'm honored to be the winner of this English speech contest.

Here, I am very grateful to the Huahai Education Department for providing me with this platform to show myself, and at the same time, I am also grateful to my English teacher, Ms. Xu, for her careful guidance to me, and my classmates for taking the trouble to accompany me to practice.

It's not my champion, it's everyone's. ”

Mucha bowed again to express her gratitude, and after receiving the certificate and prize from the judges with a smile, tears poured out uncontrollably.

It was the first time she had experienced the benefits of self-confidence since she was reborn.

On the bus back to Fanhe County, everyone congratulated Mucha again, after all, in the previous English speech competition, the champions were all students from Huahai Middle School, and this was the first time that students from Fanhe County won the championship.

Chen Ting took out a notebook, "Xia Xia, you can leave me a contact information, we can't cut off contact in the future." ”

"Okay, I'll keep in touch in the future." Mucha wrote down her QQ number.

Zhao Minghao, who was sitting in the front row, turned around, "Tingting, congratulations, I have a new partner with you on the weekend, I can finally be liberated." ”

Mucha leaned into Chen Ting's ear and asked in a low voice, "You two?" ”

"Don't think about it, we're small, good brothers." Chen Ting punched Zhao Minghao, "Zhao Minghao, if I look for you to go shopping again in the future, I will have your surname." ”

"Who is afraid of who"

Mucha quietly looked at the two of them who were fighting, and inexplicably felt a little supportive.

At noon in late autumn, the sun was just right, and Mucha fell asleep leaning on the back amid bursts of laughter.

"Mucha, congratulations, you're finally living the way you like it more and more. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, don't give up, don't complain, just work hard. I will always be with you. ”

"Who are you?"

"I am the positive belief in your heart, you have to protect me in this life."

"Yes, I will, I'll make you thrive."

A crystal teardrop slipped down from the corner of Mucha's eyes, "Muxia, we're here, let's get out of the car first." Mucha heard the voice, woke up in a daze, and waved at Chen Ting and the others.

Mucha pushed open the window beside her in a daze, and the dry wind blew to make her sober up, she stretched out her hand, and the void grabbed it, as if she had grabbed something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile.

Back at school, Mucha was just in time for the first class of the afternoon, so she hurriedly bought a bag of bread and milk from the small shop and rushed back to the classroom.

As soon as she entered the classroom, she saw that everyone gave a thumbs up, and in order not to delay the history teacher's class, Mucha could only hurriedly fold her hands and head in thanks.

Teacher Zhang looked at Mucha sitting in his seat, and said, "Okay, let's start class now, if there is anything, you will talk about it after class." ”

"Mucha, tell me what we learned yesterday." Teacher Zhang didn't wait for Mucha to take out the textbook, so he told her to get up and answer.
