"Where's Chi Yao?"

In the hotel lobby, before departure, Lao Liu counted the number of people, only to find that there was one less.

Just about to yell, Chi Yao came out from behind.

He stood in the line and said casually, "I just answered the phone."

Old Liu: "Ah, answer the phone, it's okay, I thought you disappeared, and I was taken aback."

Xu Ting stood beside him, feeling that something was wrong with him: "Whose phone number?"

Chi Yao: "A friend."

Xu Ting said again: "Why does it feel like you feel a little better after picking up the phone?"

Chi Yao glanced at him, noncommittal: "Is there?"

Xu Ting has been with him for more than a year, and he still knows him well: "Yes, under normal circumstances, I just asked you 'who's calling', and you wouldn't call me 'a friend', when the **** did you He answered all my questions."

Xu Ting, as a long-term victim, is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed: "Under normal circumstances, you usually reply 'does it have something to do with you'."

"Or 'None of your business,' or, 'Stop talking nonsense.'"

"..."

Xu Ting: "Although your tone is still so cold, you actually answered me just now, you said a friend—"

Chi Yao was so annoying that he blocked his words from the root: "Then I will answer again."

Xu Ting: "?"

Chi Yao: "None of your business."

Xu Ting: "..."

Lin Zhexia returned to the hotel room.

She lay in bed to catch up on her sleep, and when she woke up, she found that the clothes she hung out last night were almost dry.

After cleaning up, she sent a message to Lin He: Chi Yao went to the competition, I am alone in the hotel now, don't worry about me.

Lin He transferred a sum of money to her after receiving it, and added a note: Be careful outside.

She replied to Lin He: Thank you, Mom.

She felt quite embarrassed.

He sneaked out and caused trouble for so many people.

After doing this, she started to tune the news station, trying to find out if there was any column about today's physics competition on TV.

She tuned several stations, and there was indeed a local station that was broadcasting content related to the competition.

It is a program called "Local News". The host is standing outside the venue with a microphone: "Today, college competition teams from all major cities are gathered here... We can see that the scene is very lively. Then the competition It has already started, in order to give the students a better competition environment, we will not go in to shoot, I hope they can have a good performance today."

The concise broadcast ends here.

Lin Zhexia stared at the TV, thinking ecstatically: She probably thinks too much.

How could the competition be broadcast live on TV?

That kind of environment, like an exam, needs to be quiet, and the media will definitely not be let in openly.

Just as Lin Zhexia turned off the TV, Chen Lin called her: "At the same table, have you written that set of English test papers? There is a problem with the printing of my test papers. You can take a picture of yours and show me."

Lin Zhexia: "Ah, I'm not at home now. Can I take pictures for you when I go back tomorrow?"

"Or if you're in a hurry, you can ask Shuxuan."

Chen Lin was a little surprised: "Aren't you home?"

Anyway, Chi Yao was not there, Lin Zhexia dumped the blame on him: "Chi Yao was too nervous about the game, he called me in the middle of the night crying and begging me to come and cheer him on, I just wanted to see the sea, so I came to Haicheng City. "

Chen Lin: "Chi Yao...in the middle of the night...crying..."

Chen Lin felt horrified thinking about that scene: "Forget it, just skip him."

But it has been mentioned, so I can't skip it.

Lin Zhexia: "I don't know how he is playing now."

Chen Lin: "It's already started, wait a minute, it will be over in a few hours, and the results will come out soon. You should pay attention to Moments, this kind of competition, the teachers in our school will definitely forward it as soon as possible. "

Lin Zhexia gave a "hmm".

Chen Lin said again: "By the way, there are six of them in a competition team, right? I've heard people say that there is a girl in it, which is amazing."

Lin Zhexia: "Girl?"

Chen Lin: "What's your name... Shen Shanshan?"

"Yes, I checked Lao Xu's circle of friends. It's called this name. You know the division system of our grades. All the people who participated in the competition were from the first class, but she was the only one from the second class. Listen It is said that she is very good at physics, so she is very famous."

Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It took a lot of hard work to squeeze in from class two. The people in class one are all devils, and those with good grades are scary, especially those who don't go to No. 1 middle school but have to come to No. 2 middle school." That one, Chi who cried in the middle of the night."

"..."

She chatted with Chen Lin for a while, but Chen Lin's mother called her outside the door, so she hung up the phone hastily.

Lin Zhexia had nothing to do in the hotel alone, and fell asleep again after watching the video for a while.

When she woke up, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time... the game should be almost over.

She was about to poke Chi Yao on WeChat, and the other person sent a sentence first: The comparison is over

Just as she was about to reply, a phone call came from the other side.

Lin Zhexia picked up the phone: "Although you spoke arrogantly when you left, if you weren't number one, I wouldn't laugh at you. So where are you?"

Chi Yao's voice was a bit noisy. He walked for a while, as if he got on the return bus, and was far away from the noise.

After a while, he said, "First."

The other side said: "Your lucky charm is still a little bit useful."

Obviously she wasn't going to the competition, but she indirectly felt the joy of the competition through the phone call.

Lin Zhexia let go of the stone in her heart, and she said briskly: "It doesn't matter who asked for the talisman personally, it is the first place in the 10th Speech Contest of Cheng'an No. 2 Middle School."

"..."

There was silence on the other side.

Then a familiar taunt came through the receiver: "Are you planning to take this title into the grave?"

"It's rare for me to win an award," Lin Zhexia admitted frankly, "It will take at least ten years to boast. When I graduate from university and apply for a job, I will have to write it in my resume."

Chi Yao started to make noise again.

There were more people getting on the bus, and with winning the first place in the group, everyone was extremely excited.

Lin Zhexia even heard Xu Ting screaming: "I'm so awesome! I did it! I knew that Xu Ting was the strongest in the universe! Oh yeah!"

"..."

Then there were people talking about the "celebration banquet".

"Lao Liu arranges a dinner at night, and asks what do you all want to eat?"

Chi Yao casually asked her, "What do you want to eat?"

Lin Zhexia repeatedly refused: "I'm not in your team, it's inappropriate for me to come, don't say that I'm here too, you go, I won't..."

As soon as she said this, she heard the overly excited Xu Ting shout: "Who are you calling, are you calling Lin Shao? Tell her to have dinner together! We are all classmates, let's have some dinner together at night." !"

Old Liu was next to Xu Ting and asked, "What Young Master Lin?"

Xu Ting excitedly shared with Lao Liu: "It's Lin Zhexia, from Class 7. She and Chi Yao grew up together, and they also came to Haicheng City."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Xu Ting.

Do I have any grudge against you?

As the leader of the grade group, Old Liu knew the people in the whole grade very well, and his overall mental state was not much better than Xu Ting, as if he was drunk: "Oh, Lin Zhexia, she The speech contest went well, let her join us, everyone is a member of Cheng'an No. 2 Middle School, I'm treating you today, don't be polite to me."

This speech has a bit of "today's consumption will be paid by Mr. Liu".

Xu Ting applauded: "Old Liu Daqi! That's the deal, Young Master Lin, come quickly, everyone will wait for you together."

Lin Zhexia was suffocated: "I... thank you, Xu Ting, I really thank you."

The restaurant for dinner is near the hotel.

Lin Zhexia made countless excuses before going: I suddenly have a stomachache

Chigou: Call 120

Lin Zhexia: It doesn’t seem to hurt anymore, but I just found out that I have a hole in my shoe, and I may not be able to walk

Chi Gou: Really, take a photo to see

Lin Zhexia: ...

How she wants to shoot.

Does she puncture her shoes now?

In the end, Lin Zhexia reluctantly packed up her things, changed into clothes that had been dried, and went over to grab Lao Liu's meal.

Before she entered the door, she was so embarrassed that her scalp was numb in advance. Without saying a word, before Lao Liu entertained her, she bowed to Lao Liu first: "Hello, Teacher Liu! Hello, everyone!"

Old Liu was holding a teacup in his hand, and his hand stiffened for a moment.

Lin Zhexia fully implemented the code of conduct if you can't beat it, and she continued to say, "Congratulations to you for winning the first place. Cheng'an No. 2 Middle School has achieved it. Congratulations to Cheng'an for achieving great results and creating greater glories!"

"...Thank you, you deserve to be the number one in the speech contest," Lao Liu put down his teacup, "Sit down, Lin."

Only then did Lin Zhexia straighten up. She scanned a circle of unfamiliar faces, and saw Xu Ting who was trying to suppress a smile, and Chi Yao who was sitting there looking at her.

The most humiliating situation has happened.

Afterwards, things seemed calm and calm.

She sat on the empty seat next to Chi Yao, and was about to scald the bowls and chopsticks with hot water, when the person next to her said flatly, "It's been scalded."

Lin Zhexia put down the kettle: "Oh."

After Chi Yao finished speaking, he added, "Your shoes are of good quality."

Lin Zhexia: "?"

Chi Yao: "If it is broken, it can be restored automatically. Where did you buy it? Give me a link."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

She didn't bother to care about this person, she ate her food all the time, tried not to participate in the topic discussion, and lowered her sense of presence.

There was a girl sitting next to her, and that girl really wanted to chat with her, especially after Xu Ting dragged Chi Yao out to buy things with him, the two seats next to her were vacant, and the girl asked her: "What are you doing?" Want a drink? Let me pour you a glass by the way."

Lin Zhexia noticed that her cup had bottomed out, and said, "Ah, thank you."

After speaking, she looked up at the girl.

Long hair, delicate facial features, quite gentle.

There were only the two girls in the audience, and Lin Zhexia matched her with the person Chen Lin mentioned during the day.

After pouring the drink, the girl introduced herself: "My name is Shen Shanshan, and I'm in Class Two."

Lin Zhe Xia Xin said that it was indeed her: "My name is..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Shanshan interrupted her with a smile: "I know, your name is Lin Zhexia, and you are Chi Yao's good friend."

Chi Yao is a very good friend.

Lin Zhexia opened his mouth, and found that this sentence was correct.

"Yes," she repeated after taking a sip of her drink, "very good friend."

Shen Shanshan propped her chin and said with a little envy: "I heard you chatting just now, and this is the first time I know that Chi Yao can also joke and say such things. Usually in class, I rarely see him like this. He doesn't even bother talking to him."

Lin Zhexia Xin said that this person's mouth is poisonous.

You are lucky not to have felt it.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly caught on to a certain point: "In class? Aren't you from class two?"

Shen Shanshan said: "I was in the same school as him in junior high school, and we have always been in the same class."

Junior high school, this is an area she is not familiar with.

Lin Zhexia didn't speak, and Shen Shanshan continued: "At first, I thought that his grades would definitely go to the No. 1 middle school, and the score line of the No. 1 middle school was beyond my reach at that time. I filled it out for my first choice in the high school entrance examination. It was a No. 1 middle school, and my mother scolded me so badly that it changed to No. 2 middle school."

Hearing this, Lin Zhexia vaguely guessed what she wanted to say later.

Sure enough, Shen Shanshan looked at her, pursed her lips slightly, and said happily: "I didn't expect that he also applied for No. 2 Middle School. On the first day of school, I was happy for a long time."

"Although I can't be in the same class with him because of the difference in grades, I know he likes physics very much and will definitely participate in the physics competition."

Lin Zhexia heard the few words Chen Lin said.

——All the people from Class One participated in the competition, but she was the only one from Class Two. I heard that she is very good at physics.

—How hard it must be to squeeze in from the second class.

She probably knew why Shen Shanshan was able to squeeze in from the second class.

As if to confirm her hunch.

At the same time that Lao Liu put down the teacup with a snap, Shen Shanshan's voice sounded quietly in the private room, saying in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "I like him, very, very much, and I have liked him for a long time."

When Shen Shanshan approached, Lin Zhexia faintly smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

"Have you been drinking?" she asked.

Shen Shanshan gestured with her hand: "A little bit."

"How much is a little bit, a cup?"

"Three cups."

"I drank it secretly," Shen Shanshan smiled, "because I'm so happy today."

No wonder.

It was because of drinking.

Otherwise, it would be a bit offensive to both parties to tell the secret of one's heart to a strange classmate who just met.

Lin Zhexia asked: "Then how do you feel now, are you dizzy, can you stand up and walk later?"

Shen Shanshan: "I'm not dizzy, I can do it."

Lin Zhexia pointed to the lights on the ceiling: "How many light bulbs are there?"

Shen Shanshan raised her head and counted for a long time: "Five."

Lin Zhexia: "Three."

"..."
