Chapter 59 Tang Xueli, You Are Amazing
Tang Xueli guessed 12 idioms correctly within one minute, an average of one every five seconds.
Applause broke out from the audience. Tang Limei raised her chin proudly and walked down the podium with her head held high and her chest puffed out.
In fact, few people were looking at her, but she thought all the praise and applause belonged to her.
Yan Shouzhen followed behind Tang Xueli and praised: "You are amazing."
Tang Xueli smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"How did you guess?" Yan Shouzhen was really curious.
"Only half of this competition is about guessing idioms."
Tang Xueli spoke in a calm tone and at a low volume.
Many people were looking at her, with admiration, worship and love in their eyes.
Yan Shouzhen was also looking at her, "What about the other half?"
Tang Xueli said: "The other half is to guess what my teammates are thinking."
A simple game suddenly became mysterious.
Yan Shouzhen fell into deep thought.
In the first half, Tang Limei didn't guess any of them correctly, and the two sisters seemed to have no tacit understanding.
In the second half, Tang Xueli won high scores with 100% accuracy and extreme speed, and the two sisters seemed to have a perfect understanding of each other.
Is this a tacit understanding or not?
It's puzzling.
But after listening to Tang Xueli's words, Yan Shouzhen quickly figured it out.
Tang Limei couldn't guess because her IQ and EQ were not enough to understand Tang Xueli.
Tang Xueli, on the other hand, completely saw through Tang Limei with her overwhelming momentum.
That's why this situation happened.
No. 1 Middle School is one point higher than Tiezhong Middle School, so it is not at the bottom and has safely entered the finals.
Tang Xueli closed her eyes to rest, to avoid being affected by too much attention.
In order to let her rest more at ease, Yan Shouzhen took Tang Limei to chat with contestants from other schools.
An hour later, the final began.
The three schools that entered the final round are: No. 1 Middle School, No. 6 Middle School and Tiezhong Middle School.
Each school sends its strongest player to compete in a round-robin competition.
The questions were drawn from the large glass box.
The three people take turns answering questions. If they get three questions wrong in total, they will be eliminated. The only one left will be the champion.
The order is decided by drawing lots: the first one is a sure win, the second one is a one, and the third one is a six.
The female contestant from Tiezhong is a familiar face. She had previously answered correctly the question about how 8 times the number 8 equals one thousand.
She didn't play in the next few games.
The fact that she was chosen in the finals shows that she must be a powerful character.
The student from No. 6 Middle School is a male student that has never been seen before. He is tall and thin, with a stern look on his face. He is probably the trump card of No. 6 Middle School.
"Teacher Yan, I can go to class! I'm not nervous at all now."
Tang Limei actually wants to be on the finals stage.
What a great confidence this requires!
Blind self-confidence makes people ridiculous.
Yan Shouzhen didn't know what to say for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at Tang Xueli: "Don't feel burdened. The worst you can do is third place, which is already pretty good."
"Are you trying to reduce the pressure on me, or do you really mean it?"
Yan Shouzhen didn't expect her to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and said, "I really think so."
"Then you really have no desires or requests." There was no judgment in Tang Xueli's tone, just a simple statement.
Yan Shouzhen felt that this was a bit harsh, so he explained: "I have high standards for myself, but not for others. I am not without desires."
Tang Xueli smiled and said, "Me too."
"What are you two talking about?" Tang Limei came over and asked.
"I'm going on stage." Tang Xueli turned and left.
Yan Shouzhen sat down and said to Tang Limei, "Let's watch the game."
The three finalists were all very talented. The host’s mouth was about to catch fire from reading out the questions, but the girl from Tiezhong only got three questions wrong and was eliminated.
At this time, Tang Xueli and the boy from No. 6 Middle School only got one question wrong each.
The host quickly took the time to drink some water and said, "This year's contestants are so amazing. The finals are not a test of their knowledge reserves, but a test of my eloquence and voice!"
There was laughter from the audience.
After a short break, the game continued.
The boy from No. 6 Middle School frowned and stared at Tang Xueli with sharp eyes.
Tang Xueli glanced at him lightly, as if she was looking at a frozen fish on the river bank.
There were fewer and fewer notes in the glass box.
Tang Xueli was the first to answer two questions incorrectly, and the boys from No. 6 Middle School took the advantage. His expression changed subtly, as if he was proud, but also as if he was contemptuous.
Tang Xueli smiled faintly, relaxed and at ease.
Yan Shouzhen said that third place was also good, but his palms were involuntarily soaked with sweat.
He found himself getting nervous.
I haven't felt this tense for a long time.
Tang Xueli finally waited for the other party to make a mistake. The boy from No. 6 Middle School answered a simple question incorrectly.
She believed that he knew the answer, he just wanted to win too much, his mentality changed, and it affected his state.
Good, they have no chance to make mistakes.
Victory or defeat depends on this one move.
But the result was something no one had expected.
They answered all the questions!
Forced to take a halftime break.
The host came on stage a little later and said, "We discussed with the referee team and finally decided to have an extra game. The content of the game is you gesture and I guess, and the guess is still an idiom. But the contestant must be a teacher and a student."
This can increase the fun and watchability. The cooperation between teachers and students is something that has never been examined before and is very attractive.
Tang Xueli and Yan Shouzhen looked at each other immediately.
Yan Shouzhen never thought that he would have to go on stage to participate in the competition.
He was very confident in answering the questions and even guessed idioms by gestures, which he had never played before!
And according to what Tang Xueli said before, they didn't understand each other, nor did they have any tacit understanding, so they had no advantage at all.
How do you compare this?
I need to participate in the competition, and the desire to win immediately surges into my heart.
"I can't be worse than Tang Limei, right?" Yan Shou sincerely thought that if he could answer an idiom correctly, he would be better than Tang Limei. He used this thought to relax.
Tang Xueli looked at him seriously: "Don't insult yourself like this."
No matter how depressed you are, don't compare yourself with Tang Limei.
Yan Shouzhen smiled, and inexplicably, his tension disappeared.
The order is determined by drawing lots.
No. 6 Middle School comes first, No. 1 Middle School comes later.
The partner of the boys in No. 6 Middle School is a female teacher with gray hair.
They answered 23 idioms correctly within two minutes.
This is an almost unsurpassable achievement.
It was only before going on stage that Tang Xueli found out that this pair from No. 6 Middle School was a mother-son duo.
No wonder there is such a strong tacit understanding.
Students from an unknown school shouted loudly, "Come on, Tang Xueli!"
Tang Xueli didn't see who shouted, she nodded in the direction of the voice and said "thank you".
"Come on No. 1 Middle School! Come on No. 1 Middle School!" Tang Limei jumped and shouted.
The driver was called over temporarily to write idioms on the blackboard.
Tang Limei was not very happy at first. She was a contestant from No. 1 Middle School and it was her responsibility to write the essay. However, she was too unreliable. Yan Shouzhen said that he would not let her get involved in the final, for fear that she would make inappropriate moves and ruin the competition.
The driver was given only one task, which was to write as fast as possible and as clearly as possible.
The previous minute it was Tang Xueli gesturing and Yan Shouzhen guessing.
The driver scribbled on the blackboard very quickly. The words were hard to read but still clear.
Tang Xueli shook hands once, and then again.
The audience was very confused, but they heard Yan Shouzhen say immediately: "Unwavering loyalty."
