Jiang Wuyang and the two brothers Gu Jia also began to stick together frequently, discussing questions after every get out of class.

Jiang Wuyang would occasionally go to the third year of high school to find them, but more often, they would come to the second year of high school to find Jiang Wuyang.

For a while, rumors spread everywhere, and some people were even curious about which of the two brothers Jiang Wuyang was a couple with.

However, whenever Duan Jinyan heard these rumors, he would interrupt them.

Duan Jinyan always had a cold face and warned everyone who spread rumors, which was very different from his previous indifferent appearance.

Even Wen Mubai found this look very magical.

In the past, he was the person who cared the least about Jiang Wuyang, and he didn't know what he had gone through to become like this.

As for the rumors about Jiang Wuyang, they were not dispelled until one day, when everyone saw Xi Wencheng with them with their own eyes, like a father with two children.

Wen Mubai couldn't help but show envy in his eyes when he saw them discussing topics frequently.

But more than that, I am worried about my future.

He has to go to the capital, otherwise how can he defeat Mu Ziye in the end?

Mu Ziye didn't care at all about Wen Mubai's worries.

He doesn't have so many concerns, and no one will say anything even if he relies on his parents for support.

A busy month passed quickly.

The competition arrived as scheduled in mid-March.

Jiang Wuyang packed his things. They needed to go to the examination venue one day in advance to observe the rehearsal, and their accommodation would be in a hotel near the school.

This competition happened to be hosted by an international middle school, so the venue was Yuncheng International Middle School.

There are report speeches, each person has three minutes, calculated according to the number of people, and everyone must take the stage.

This was Gu Peizhi and Gu Qingheng's second year participating in the competition. When they visited the examination venue a day in advance, they ran into many acquaintances.

The scale is the same as last time, with answering questions on the first day and making reports on the second day.

The test was divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. Jiang Wuyang and her friends were scheduled for the morning session.

At around seven o'clock, Gu Peizhi and several others gathered at the hotel entrance, preparing to go to the examination room.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Gu Peizhi?!"

Gu Pei subconsciously stopped and turned to look in the direction of the voice.

It was a girl with a high ponytail, elegant features, light makeup, and a very bright smile.

But Gu Peizhi's face suddenly stiffened, and he tried to make his expression more natural: "Lu Zhao"

Hearing Gu Peizhi's response, Lu Zhao raised his lips and smiled even more happily, running towards Gu Peizhi: "Are you here to take the exam too? Didn't you take it last year?"

"Well, last year's results were not satisfactory, so let's try again this year."

The girl tutted her tongue twice and said admiringly, "You are still too strong-willed. I am almost the same as you, but I was assigned by the teacher to guide the new talents."

"I just saw Gu Qingheng here too. It looks like you guys are the winners this time."

Gu Peizhi pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed an ugly smile: "That won't happen. There are many people who are more powerful than us."

The girl smiled and was about to say that he was too modest.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Gu Qingheng pulling Jiang Wuyang away. His gaze locked onto Jiang Wuyang, and after glancing him up and down, he suddenly understood. He smiled and gently punched Gu Peizhi's arm: "I see. You were also assigned by the teacher to guide the newcomers, right?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I was just asking why you were dissatisfied with your last result."

Gu Peizhi: “…Hehe…Hehe”

Gu Qingheng grabbed Jiang Wuyang's arm and pulled her aside.

"Let's stand further away and wait for him."

Jiang Wuyang didn't ask anything, but just squatted on the ground obediently, holding his cheek and looking at the two of them.

He said casually, "Why? Old acquaintance?"

Seeing that Jiang Wuyang was squatting comfortably, Gu Qingheng squatted down too.

"His old acquaintance is not mine."

"I don't know her well."

These two consecutive sentences have a strong implication of distancing themselves from the matter.

Jiang Wuyang burst out laughing.

Looking at Gu Qingheng with interest: "What's the matter?"

"That girl is so annoying. She keeps dragging us into a chat like nothing happened. It was the same during the last competition. Gu Peizhi and I were comparing answers, and she overheard us. Then she dragged us into a long, drawn-out argument, insisting on proving she was right. She's so stubborn."

Jiang Wuyang smiled, withdrew his gaze from that direction, and lowered his head to pick up stones on the ground to play with.

He casually replied, "Maybe you guys are easy to talk to."

Gu Qingheng also imitated her actions and said, "Now I just hope that girl doesn't go to Beijing. I don't want to see her in Beijing again."

Jiang Wuyang didn't say anything, just smiled. Anyone who could come to participate in the semi-finals would not be bad, and it would not be difficult to go to a good school. Gu Qingheng's idea was a bit difficult to achieve.

"Gu Peizhi, where do you want to go to college in the future? Can I go with you?"

"It just so happens that it doesn't matter where I go, and we can still have company."

"Look, Daddy is so good to you. He's afraid you'll be lonely, so he comes specially to accompany you."

The girl is carefree and seems heartless.

Gu Peizhi's face was stiff, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his gentle face could not hold back.

"Um, I, I plan to stay in Yuncheng."

Gu Peizhi's face was full of confusion, but he breathed a sigh of relief after he said it.

The girl looked up at him in confusion: "But Qingheng has gone to the capital, why aren't you going?"

Gu Peizhi smiled awkwardly and said, "I won't go. I prefer to stay in a familiar place."

The girl nodded thoughtfully, then grinned happily: "That's true, then I'll stay in Cloud City with you!"

Gu Peizhi nodded stiffly, looked at the time on his watch, and said goodbye.

"Let's go first, they are still waiting for me."

The girl nodded: "Go ahead."

Gu Peizhi left as if he was escaping.

The girl looked at Gu Peizhi's leaving back, then looked at Jiang Wuyang next to Gu Qingheng. Her smile faded, her lips straightened, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

Gu Qingheng saw Gu Peizhi walking towards him and laughed at him mercilessly.

"What? Is she pestering you again? You spoke so nicely to her, now you're paying me back."

Gu Peizhi looked at him helplessly.

"Stop talking, let's go to the game."

Three people walked into the examination room. It was quite large, but not crowded.

The competition was similar to the last time. After going through security and entering the examination room, I answered the questions and the papers were collected after the writing break.

Wait until you finish answering the questions before preparing for the report for the next day.

On the second day at Yuncheng International Middle School, the presentation venue was also in the lecture hall, which was very similar to the lecture hall of Yuncheng No. 1 Middle School.

There are audiences and judges sitting below, and only contestants sitting above. The only difference is that there is a timer next to it.

The candidates will go on stage to give speeches in the order drawn by lots, and will then defend their answers. Each group will have a total of twenty minutes. That is to say, if there are four people in the group, the judges will only have eight minutes to ask questions, while for a group of three, the judges will have eleven minutes to ask questions.
