“Absolute winners in life, handsome guys and beauties, really awesome!”
“I went to find out, I heard that you can often see this pair of good-looking couple going to the library at B University. I really admire them.”
“Their life: genius student, handsome boyfriend from the school, studying at a prestigious university. My life: watching the genius student studying at the prestigious university and her handsome boyfriend's wonderful life. “
“Stop comparing, stop comparing, can't compare.” The last round is about to start.”
The last round, Q&A with each other.
Drawing lots in pairs, Chu Yang drew the contest against the girl from H University.
That girl looked at Chu Yang. From the previous matches, she could see Chu Yang's strength. This was a formidable opponent.
They were the third group. Before it was their turn, they were already sitting in their seats.
Q&A was limited to 5 minutes.
The first group was the boy from X University and the girl from B University. The two were evenly matched, back and forth, very intense.
Suddenly, the boy from X University recited a poem, "Please tell me what form this poem is? Who is the resentful woman mentioned in it? Which dynasty?"
The girl from B University was stunned instantly. She had recited this poem before, but she didn't know who the resentful woman in it was. "Um...pass."
Time's up, the girl from B University lost by a small margin.
The second round was similar, then it was Chu Yang and Li Wutong from H University’s turn.
"Start!" The host shouted start, Li Wutong went first, "Please name five lines of poems that end with the character hua (flower)."
Chu Yang: "This flower has fully bloomed, no more flowers, the chrysanthemum comes again..."
Chu Yang: "Please tell me what official positions were the Left and Right Xiaowei, Left and Right Wuhui, Left and Right Weiwei in ancient times? Which dynasty did they belong to?"
Li Wutong: "Um...pass."
At this moment, the bullet screen comments:
"What is this?"
"I know this one, ah ah ah ah, finally there's one I know. It's from the game, hahaha."
"Those who have played that game know it."
The 5 minutes ended quickly. Chu Yang answered most of the questions Li Wutong asked, maybe there was one answer that wasn't quite complete, but Li Wutong couldn't answer two of Chu Yang's questions and her mentality collapsed a bit towards the end.
It was obvious that Chu Yang did quite well this time.
There were two more groups after that. At this moment, Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.
The competition ended quickly, next was the tallying of scores.
How many points were awarded for each item, and the answers could all flash by on the screen page by page.
"Alright, we have finished tallying the scores. Everyone please look at the big screen!"
First place: Luo Sui from X University 92 points.
Second place: Chu Yang from A University 91 points.
Third place: Li Wutong from H University 89.8 points.
Fourth place...
"Hahaha, Luo Sui is awesome!"
"Too awesome!"
Chu Yang knew the scores in her heart, but still felt it was acceptable when she saw it. She didn't expect to get second place, not bad at all. Off stage, Chi Yan, Jin Yang, two teachers, and her gave her a thumbs up.
Chu Yang smiled and made a heart sign back at them.
Li Qinglu was also watching the livestream in the dorm. She didn't expect Chu Yang to be so amazing. She had also taken the preliminary test for this competition, but didn't make it through, she didn't expect Chu Yang to make it through the preliminaries and then the semifinals, and then entered the finals.
Not only that, she actually got second place nationally! She felt quite unhappy inside, she didn't expect Chu Yang who had fallen out with them to become so amazing and dazzling after leaving, and also gained a boyfriend...
It wasn't just Li Qinglu, Chu Yang's former classmates who saw it also didn't expect the Chu Yang in their memories to become so amazing in college! It was like someone you usually look down on suddenly becomes someone beyond your reach, anyway many people didn't feel good inside.
Next was the awards ceremony. In addition to the trophy, there was also prize money. Chu Yang got second place and received 30,000 RMB. Not only that, she also got recommended for guaranteed admission to a Master's program!
After the award ceremony was the group photo.
Finally, Chu Yang took a photo with Chi Yan and the others, as well as the two teachers.
When she returned to A University, the Literature Department had hung up a banner: Congratulations to student Chu Yang from the Literature Department for getting second place in the National Language and Literature Competition!
The school website published an article with Chu Yang's photo.
When she returned to school, the school also rewarded her with 10,000 RMB. So participating in this competition, she received 40,000 RMB total.
Chu Yang directly transferred 20,000 back to her parents and said it was money she got from participating in a competition. Chu Yang's parents were extremely happy and bought ribs that day for the couple to celebrate at home.
The rib seller Li Ge also asked, "How come you're eating meat today, is there some occasion?" He knew this couple well, they were so frugal for their two children, reluctant to eat or drink much. They would buy meat about once a week, and buy more when their son came home from school, but today wasn't yet the school break.
Chu's father couldn't hide his delight, "My daughter got second place in a competition, there was prize money, Yangyang also gave it to me and her mother." Chu's father said the last part softly.
"Amazing, the children you two have raised are really great." It wasn't his place to say, but in the whole village, no one was as good looking as the Chu siblings, and their academics were excellent too.
When Chu's father returned home, Chu's mother said, "I heard this competition could also be watched online, dear could you search for it? Let's watch it tonight."
"Okay."
Late at night while eating, after much effort they finally managed to pull up the playback of the livestream.
"Yangyang, that's Yangyang."
"As expected of our Yangyang, she's amazing."
"Yangyang looks tired, studying must be tiring."
The couple watched it over and over for a long time, and kept talking about it when going to bed, "Let's watch it again when Xiaoluo comes home."
"Okay."
Since there was prize money, plus previous matters, Chu Yang treated Jin Yang and the others to a meal, and also had Chi Yan bring his roommate.
There were eight people total, and they went to the hotel that had caught fire before, which had been renovated and looked much newer now, plus they had VIP cards for a discount there.
It had been a long time since they all ate together, and they chatted nonstop.
"First of all, congratulations to the expert for getting second place!"
"Thank you."
Second place was really quite good, the first place student, his parents were masters of literature, a family of scholars, he had been an avid reader since childhood, in short someone outstanding from childhood to adulthood.
On the contrary, Chu Yang who seemed to have nothing before was like a dark horse.
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted very happily.
Afterwards, everyone tactfully left, leaving only Chu Yang and Chi Yan to return by themselves.
Final exams were coming up soon after this.
Chi Yan suddenly thought that summer vacation was almost here, and he might be apart from Chu Yang for two whole months!
Two months!!!
Just thinking about it made him sad! Chi Yan's mood instantly dropped, "You'll go back home after the final exams end?"
Chu Yang thought about how it should be fruit harvest season at home during summer vacation, so she should go back to help out, "Yeah, probably go back right after the exams."
Chi Yan immediately felt aggrieved, "Then what about me?"
