Xie Xihe was an orphan in her previous life, but she was adopted by an old man as far as she could remember. Later, she picked up four little kids from various places and gave them all to the old man to raise.
Lu Tingqian was the first child she picked up, and the man not far away, An Qing, was the third one.
Ever since meeting Lu Tingqian, he never mentioned the old man and the other three people. She asked about them once, but he just replied: We haven't been in touch for a long time.
There was no follow-up.
Xie Xihe just glanced at him at that time and didn't ask any more questions.
I didn't even take the initiative to contact them or look for news about them.
She thought it might take a long time to meet other people, but unexpectedly, An Qing suddenly appeared.
The man's eyes fell on her, with a gleam in his eyes, and Xie Xihe knew immediately - he had recognized her.
A faint smile spread across the corners of his lips.
An Qing's gaze swept away, suppressing the excitement in his heart. The curve of his lips became a little higher. He said, "I'm here today for the biennial International Elite Competition. The Academic Association will select three teams from the students present to participate in the 128th International Elite Competition!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
The International Elite Championship is internationally recognized as the most influential and authoritative youth all-around competition.
This competition is very special. It is organized by the "Blessing University", which is known as the world's top university. It is held every two years and has a history of more than 250 years.
The time of the competition is notified at short notice every year, and even the events of the competition have to be randomly decided on the spot after the competition begins.
No one knows what will be competed in this competition, so when selecting teams, each country will try its best to match the attributes of the teams, striving to ensure that the areas in which the players are good at include all the events that have appeared in previous competitions.
But this is a bit difficult.
After all, there have been 69 events in the 128th competition, ranging from the most common subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English to more niche sports such as football, volleyball, track and field, swimming, etc.
Even hacking, medicine, horse racing, and car racing, which are so unconventional that they have no place to go, have appeared.
In short, there are no events that cannot be presented in the elite competition, only events that you cannot think of.
The last International Elite Tournament was held in February of 2019. Now it is already April and everyone has been waiting for news about the Elite Tournament. Finally, they got it!
The students present immediately fell into a state of great excitement.
Among the seven high schools, only Dawn of Light fell into a depressed state.
Especially Chu Xuan. The moment An Qing announced the news, the blood color on his face faded completely in an instant, leaving him pale.
Especially when the students from other schools cooled down their excitement and looked towards them, Chu Xuan's eyes trembled. If Lin Jiangfei and Su Jinchuan had not held him tightly, he would have turned around and left.
The International Elite Competition is the supreme honor for others and the place that everyone dreams of. But for Chu Xuan, it is the source of all shame.
At the previous elite competition, he and his team, the Dawn Team, were expelled for cheating, bringing the competition to a very dismal end.
For two years, Chu Xuan was ridiculed from all sides, and even the Light of Dawn was criticized.
He spent three months trying to find out the truth, but after repeated failures, he finally gave up and returned to Dawnlight in an escapist manner, hiding for nearly two years.
This time, he forced himself to stand in the sunlight again, wanting to walk out of the shadow, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step, reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Another international elite competition has begun.
This also means that the criticism and humiliation he suffered in the past will come back once again, trampling all his pride into pieces!
really.
The next moment, a disdainful male voice rang out, raising its volume: "Since this is a selection for the International Elite Competition, why is Dawn Light also present? Are we going to give Dawn Light another chance to participate in the Elite Competition and once again make China an international laughing stock?!"
"Yes, it was because of the cheating incident by Dawnlight last time that Blessing Academy had a very bad impression of our Chinese team. As a result, the other two teams didn't achieve very good results. Since such a thing happened last time, we can't let Dawnlight participate this time, right?"
"I think Dawn of Light should be permanently stripped of its place in the competition!"
“…”
As discussions continued, the smile on An Qing's face gradually faded, especially when he noticed the cold look between Xie Xihe's eyebrows, the last bit of expression on his face disappeared.
The air pressure around them gradually dropped. Ning Zhihong, the association member next to An Qing, was the first to notice it. He couldn't help but feel his back light up. He quickly grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly, "Quiet!"
The discussions suddenly stopped, and everyone looked towards the podium, looking at An Qing expectantly, waiting for him to speak and drive the Light of Dawn out of here.
An Qing did speak, but the content of his words was: "Do you know how many places China has for this year's International Elite Competition?"
“Three!”
Someone immediately answered that An Qing had just mentioned this question and many people had noticed it.
An Qing nodded and asked, "What about the previous session?"
"Also three!" This time it was someone from Wenhua High School who answered. Wenhua was one of the three teams that participated in the last competition.
"What about the session before that?" An Qing continued to ask.
This time, there was silence for a moment. After a while, someone answered, "It seems like there are two..."
This time the answer was much softer, and many people vaguely sensed something.
An Qing's eyes swept over everyone, his features gentle and elegant, but without much of a smile in his eyes: "Let me tell you."
"From the first International Elite Competition until the 107th, China had zero participating spots. It wasn't until the 108th, in 1981, the 33rd year after the founding of the New China, that the Blessing Academy granted China a spot!"
"And this quota lasted for a full eighteen sessions!"
An Qing paused for a moment, then glanced across the field again. He calmed his tone and said, "It wasn't until the 125th International Elite Competition, when Dawnlight Academy participated for the first time and won the championship for China for the first time, that the situation began to change."
There was a deathly silence in the conference hall.
