It was a beautiful Friday with bright sunshine. The leaves on the edge of the playground of Enhua University were slowly turning red, but they had not fallen yet. At first glance, they looked bright red and very beautiful.
Giving a speech at Qingmeng University is a rather grand event.
Enhua University provided a team leader, a school bus, a driver, a class teacher, and a contestant: Su Xiaoqi, as well as Xiaoqi's relatives and friends, and three roommates.
The competition starts at 7pm, which happens to be the afternoon when I don’t have any classes.
The school bus came to pick them up in the afternoon.
The teacher in charge was a young male teacher. Xiaoqi's homeroom teacher, Yan Ruyu, was also carefree and treated like a buddy just like that male teacher.
This was Xiao Qi’s second time at Qingmeng University. Since he was representing the school, he didn’t look for Brother Lin Ming, but he sent him a message, saying that he was there.
Lin Min has been quite busy recently. He studies medicine and has a lot of coursework. He is also the type of person who would stay in the anatomy lab longer than others if he had the chance. He feels that he is not a genius and his brain is not much better than others, so he needs to spend more time studying.
In addition, he has expanded his business of selling used books and sending and receiving express deliveries, so he has a lot to do. And when it comes to making money, once there is a sign of a trend, there will be a lot of people following the trend. He must have what others do not, and be better than others, in order to survive.
During the National Day holiday, he integrated his business and reorganized the shop himself. He also used his connections with senior students at school to gain experience at a courier company for two days.
He is able to endure hardships and work hard, and he does a good job.
When he learned that Xiaoqi broke the record in the marathon, he was also quite surprised. However, Xiaoqi had won the swimming championship before, which was already a surprise. She seemed to have good athletic ability and great strength.
He just admired Xiaoqi and wished him well, and didn't think about what would happen if Xiaoqi got the huge sum of money.
I just feel like I should work harder.
He had originally planned to listen to Xiaoqi's speech tonight, but he didn't expect that the group of people in the dormitory would also go to listen to the speech.
"Goddess Tang Baolin is attending a speech, I must go and show my support."
"It doesn't matter whether she's a goddess or not. I don't care about her looks. I mainly go there to learn English, really."
"I went to cheer for our major, Little Tangyuan. She's so cute! I heard that during her first anatomy class, all the boys vomited, but Little Tangyuan remained calm."
"I just went to see the goddess, it doesn't matter whether I speak English or not."
Several roommates laughed and said that they were quite surprised to learn that Lin Min, the workaholic in their dormitory, was also going to listen to the speech.
"Lin Min, you're not also a fan of Bao Lin, are you? But if you make a move, maybe it will work."
In their dormitory, the most handsome one is Lin Min. He is tall and thin, and an abstinent pretty boy. The girls in their major call him the most handsome boy in the department. He is rated as the most handsome freshman in the medical department.
It’s a pity that I’m busy all day long, either attending classes or working, otherwise I would have gotten rid of being single long ago.
Qingmeng University does not prohibit dating. As long as it does not affect your studies and you don’t fail your courses, you can do whatever you want.
His roommates admire him very much. Some people are embarrassed to pretend because they don’t have money. College students are all vain, but Lin Min is not like that. He is very open and honest.
Tang Baolin?
Lin Min had a vague impression that she and her roommate had bought books from his second-hand bookstall. Her roommate wanted to add him on WeChat, but he didn't.
My roommates talk about her every day. She is from the Chinese department, but she is very outstanding and has won numerous awards since she was a child. The key is that she is very beautiful. She looks like your first love at first glance, with a melon-shaped face and big eyes. She has a perfect temperament. She dances ballet and has an unbeatable swan neck.
It can be said that she is the newly promoted beauty among their freshmen, and has not yet been ranked as the school belle, because every class has particularly outstanding and beautiful girls. The currently recognized school belle is a senior girl in the junior year.
It is said that his family background, appearance, and studies are all perfect, and he ranks first in the overall score.
Tang Baolin's family must be well-off, otherwise ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to afford to practice piano or ballet. Even if they could afford it, it would be difficult for them to persist until they won an award.
"No, my neighbor's girl is also participating in this competition, and I'm going to cheer her on." Lin Min said.
The roommates remembered that Lin Min had said before that he knew the beautiful girl who was an amazing singer at Enhua University. However, the roommates were still quite curious because Lin Min looked like he came from an ordinary family and his neighbor should not be much better off, yet he could afford to go to Enhua.
"Is it Su Xiaoqi? I like this girl too. She is very charming, different from the first love goddess like Pauline. Is her English also that good?" My roommate Chen Youkuang watched the video of Xiaoqi singing on Enhua's official Douyin from the beginning and was quite impressed.
"Hey, Lin Min, are you really a girl? Do you mind having a brother-in-law?" another roommate joked.
Lin Min: ...
"Mind you, Third Brother, your socks haven't been washed for a week."
…
Xiaoqi came to Qingmeng with his teacher and roommates. Compared with the small landscape of a few red leaves beside the playground of Enhua, Qingmeng University is simply a sea of red. The teaching buildings and dormitory buildings are hidden in the red sea, which is even more thrilling.
Wei Cheng looked at Qingmeng University and thought everything about it was great.
It’s so nice to keep sighing.
Mi'er, who is usually very chattering, is a little quieter today, probably because of her awe and yearning for the famous university.
Yunshu was enjoying the scenery in a very calm manner.
This is Xiaoqi's second time here, and he still has a lot of feelings. The students of Enhua University are in a hurry, coming and going in a hurry, while the students of Qingmeng University are mostly holding books, wandering around in every corner of the campus. Students reading and reciting books can be seen everywhere. At first glance, there is still a high school atmosphere.
Although the female students here have dyed or permed hair, and wear a lot of makeup and dressing up, the picture of them sitting on the chairs on campus and reading books seriously is very beautiful, and they don't look like bad students just because they perm or dye their hair.
Enhua’s students are not allowed to dye or perm their hair, but they don’t think that makes them good students.
Enhua is a new and vibrant university, while Qingmeng is a quiet and introverted university.
Under the guidance of the teacher, she came to the registration point for the English speech competition. They also drew lots first. Xiaoqi drew the 14th place, which was in the middle and back rankings. There were a total of 20 contestants.
Qingmeng University thoughtfully provides directions to the cafeteria. The cafeteria at Qingmeng University is also very good. Among several famous universities, it is considered to be a cafeteria with delicious food.
Xiaoqi and his group, four students and two teachers, six people in total, went to a cafeteria and ordered stir-fried dishes.
The head teacher said casually that it could be reimbursed and there was no need to save money.
In fact, the stir-fried dishes at school were not that expensive. Six of us spent about a hundred yuan, and they tasted really good.
After dinner, it was almost half past six, and the group went to the registration point to gather.
The evening speech was held in a small auditorium at Qingmeng University.
Although it is called a small auditorium, it is not small and can accommodate quite a few students.
Xiaoqi was not in a hurry to go to the toilet today, but he had already planned where the toilet was.
Come out of the small auditorium, turn right, and there is a toilet after walking around half a circle.
A lot of students came one after another. Xiaoqi felt that there were many more students than when she gave a speech at Enhua. At that time, it seemed that many students were relatives and friends.
It was quite a big scene, and we even saw a camera.
The banner hanging at the door is the final of the Jingnan Province Freshman Speech Contest.
Will there be a national finals later?
Although there are not as many electronic projection screens as at Enhua University, there are only banners and red flags here, but it feels more popular and there are a lot of students.
The small auditorium was decorated in a rather simple and formal style, with a large red curtain in the background and a table in the middle. The contestants walked onto the stage and stood behind the table, which had a microphone and mineral water on it.
Start at 7 o'clock on time.
The scene suddenly became quiet. A host came and asked everyone to mute their phones. He spoke in Chinese and English at the same time. The host was said to be a sophomore from the Youth League. She seemed very neat and a top student.
The first contestant to come on stage was a boy who was very strong. Xiaoqi saw that he was introduced as a student of Qingmeng University, majoring in materials engineering. His voice was very much like a broadcaster and host, and he did not recite an essay. He talked about a wide range of topics. He discussed a topic: how should a contemporary college student grasp his youth?
He was passionate and not only spoke English well, but also had a stage presence and image. It felt like there was indeed a gap between them. Among the many students who gave speeches at Enhua University, none of them were as good as him. His profile did not mention any award-winning experience, so it was rare that it was very simple.
If the first person is so strong, what about the players after him?
Xiaoqi was particularly impressed by Tang Baolin, whose introduction was half a page long.
Xiao Qi was sitting in the front row, in the contestant waiting area. When she saw Tang Baolin, she recognized her without any comparison. She was very beautiful, with a dignified sitting posture and a straight, white neck. During the contestants' exit, she turned her head and talked to the person next to her with a faint smile on her lips, and she was very elegant.
