Chapter 23(1/2)
Xu Zhilu listened to his shameless remarks and refused without thinking: "No."
"The windows are more comfortable," she said.
Chen Siyan: "Oh."
He said, "Impossible."
Xu Zhilu didn't want to be entangled with him on this a bit ambiguous topic: "Stop talking, I want to sleep."
Chen Siyan sneered lightly, and said speechless at her escape.
But I didn't force myself too much, and responded lightly: "Okay, then I'll ask later."
Xu Zhilu: “…”
Did this person take the wrong medicine?
She had no idea why Chen Siyan had such a big change.
The two continued to be quiet.
Xu Zhilu was tired at this time and turned to look at the view outside the window. On Saturday morning, the road was not as congested as weekdays and looked much empty.
She stared at the traffic, her eyes drifting.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze, rubbed her eyes and closed them again.
Chen Siyan glanced at her without disturbing her.
After arriving at the speech hall, Xu Zhilu and others were arranged by the teacher to prepare for the preparation.
In addition to the students in their school, there are also many people participating in the competition in other schools.
Chen Siyan is not a participating student and cannot go to the backstage.
He glanced at it and said lightly: "Do you want to drink water?"
Xu Zhilu shook her head: "No."
Chen Siyan said "yes" and stopped asking: "I'll wait for Cheng Song and the others below."
"……oh."
Xu Zhilu pointed: "Then I'll go in."
Chen Siyan nodded.
After watching Xu Zhilu enter, Chen Siyan found a seat outside to sit, looking lazy.
Many of the students who came to see the speech noticed him, but they didn't dare to step forward when they looked indifferent.
Unlike Shen Siyan's laziness, Xu Zhilu is still nervous now.
But it seems to be fine.
She was actually quite confident in herself, but because of her confidence, Xu Zhilu still read it several times again. She could take the manuscript to her speech or leave it out.
What she wanted to do was to do without writing, and at least she had lived a few more years than others, and she could not perform too badly.
Xu Zhilu was carrying her back in the corner and unexpectedly met Peng Jin.
Peng Jin took the initiative to say hello to her, smiled and said, "I'm still carrying it?"
Xu Zhilu nodded.
Peng Jin stared at her and turned his eyes away: "Are you nervous?"
"fine."
"Relax, who did you win the first place?"
“Middle position.”
Peng Jin smiled and said, "The location is pretty good, I'm in front."
"……oh."
The two of them asked and answered each other. Xu Zhilu had always been cold to friends who were not very familiar with her. She was just like this, lukewarm and not very interesting in character.
Peng Jin didn't care about her attitude, so he chatted with her for a few words, pointing to his classmates at his school: "I'll go first, I look forward to your performance."
Xu Zhilu nodded: "Thank you, come on."
Peng Jinxiao: "Come on."
Not long after, the competition officially began.
This is a city competition. The top three students who choose to go to the province and then win the provincial competition will participate in the national English speech competition.
This competition limits registration requirements, only high school students can.
Xu Zhilu and his team can see and hear other students' speeches in the backstage.
When other students were giving speeches, she looked at one side, observed and studied.
Peng Jin is in the fifth one.
Xu Zhilu didn't know much about him, but she also knew that Peng Jin was a college master with good grades. The two met in college, but because they were not the same major and the school was relatively large, they had very little time to meet, just a few times.
Listening to Peng Jin's fluent English speech, Xu Zhilu raised her eyebrows, which was quite surprised.
Although I knew he was excellent, I didn’t expect that high school students could be so excellent. They didn’t have much accent when they gave speeches, so they were very smooth and their English pronunciation was very good.
Not only Xu Zhilu thought so, but also several other classmates around her thought so.
"Wow! This guy's voice sounds so nice."
“The pronunciation is super accurate, very excellent.”
"He is very handsome too! This kind of boy is so perfect."
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"How could a college tycoon have a girlfriend? I heard that this is the first in No. 1 Middle School, and he is very outstanding in his body."
...
Xu Zhilu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows as she listened to the girl's discussion in her ears.
I have to say that as long as there are many women in the place, there are still a lot of gossip in high school or college.
She listened and laughed silently.
After Peng Jin, he was other classmates.
His overall performance was very stable, and there was no nervous look on his face. In short, it was very good.
After stepping down, when he passed by Xu Zhilu, he smiled and said, "Come on, let's see you."
Xu Zhilu: “…”
As soon as the person left, the girls around Xu Zhilu turned to look at her.
"Zhi Green."
"ah?"
Xu Zhilu responded and looked at the people: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know Peng Jin?"
Before Xu Zhilu could answer, the classmate on one side said, "Of course she met her. Have you forgotten? There was an English competition last year, and the two of them participated in it together."
"Eh?" One person asked in confusion: "Yes."
The man looked at Xu Zhilu with bright eyes and said in surprise: "Then Zhilu, are you very familiar with Peng Jin?"
Xu Zhilu shook her head: "I'm not familiar with it."
"...Is that right?" the man muttered unbelievable: "He also took the initiative to say hello to you."
Xu Zhilu was speechless: "I will come down after the speech, and I will tell you to come on."
Several people: "…"
It seems that there is nothing wrong with this.
The backstage was lively, but the audience in front was relatively quiet, with only occasional whispering sounds.
Xin Anan was waiting anxiously, looking down at the time: "Why haven't Zhilu come out yet?"
Cheng Song stuffed a headphone and was playing games, and the other ear listened to her: "Don't worry, I'll come out later. I guess the order of appearances I'll draw is in the back."
Xin Anan curled his lips: "I'm so nervous now."
Cheng Song glanced at her: "If you have anything to worry about, she got full marks in English, so there will be no problem."
Xin Anan thought about it, but that's true.
Thinking of it, she turned to look at the person who was playing with her phone casually: "Shen Siyan, are you nervous?"
Shen Siyan raised his eyes: "It's okay."
Xin Anan said "Oh", "You are quite calm. Did you come with Zhilu today?"
