Chapter 52: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
"We want to use this." Zhu Lan suddenly reached out and took away another rope from Xu Shejian's hand, which was marked with Zhu Qingyan's team.
Before Xu Sheriff could react, Zhu Qingyan shouted, "The ropes were selected in advance. Why do you want to change them just like that?"
Her reaction was extremely intense. If she said she had nothing to hide, Zhu Lan would never believe it.
"Master Xu, is it okay?" Zhu Lan emphasized the end of his words and looked into Master Xu's eyes.
Supervisor Xu was a little itchy, but since Zhu Lan had the leverage over him, there was really nothing he could do.
"Master Xu, you can't--" Xue Mei beside Zhu Qingyan also shouted.
"These ropes were all purchased by the academy. There is no difference between them. It doesn't matter who takes theirs!"
Supervisor Xu interrupted Xue Mei irritably, looked at Zhu Lan hatefully, and let her take away the rope of Zhu Qingyan's team.
Finally it was Zhu Qingyan's team's turn, and Xu Shejian was left with only the rope that originally belonged to Zhu Lan's team.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhu Qingyan was slow to answer the call, Supervisor Xu frowned and asked.
Zhu Qingyan hesitated for a long time, but finally took it, feeling very nervous.
She only knew that Zhao Wenyuan had soaked the rope in some liquid and that he had cleaned it for her.
At least your wetness won't be noticed by anyone at first glance.
But she had no idea what the liquid Zhao Wenyuan used was.
I hope that idiot didn't poison us or something. Anyone who touches this rope will have skin ulcers.
"Senior Sister Qingyan, leave it to me!" Xiang Wenyuan, who was in charge of swinging the rope, came running over happily.
Zhu Qingyan handed him the rope, then secretly observed his palms several times. After making sure that there was nothing abnormal with his skin, he felt a little relieved.
Now she just hopes that Zhao Wenyuan will be gentler and not make things too outrageous.
Several groups of people were arranged in a matrix and stood in an open space.
Following the referee's command, all the people responsible for swinging the ropes waved their right arms at the same time.
For a moment, the sound of ropes hitting the ground could be heard one after another.
"One, two, three--" Zhu Qingyan counted.
She stood at the front of the skipping rope line, facing Xiang Wenyuan, who was swinging his arms and swinging the rope vigorously.
"Hey, Senior Sister Qingyan, look at the muscles on my right arm. Isn't it strong? Hey, I'll tell you a secret. I can probably kill an old hen with one punch!"
"Senior Sister Qingyan, are you tired of dancing? Do you want me to swing slower?"
"Senior Sister Qingyan..."
It was a rare opportunity for Xiang Wenyuan to be so close to Zhu Qingyan, and he racked his brains to start a conversation.
Zhu Qingyan is almost going crazy.
She had to count to the rhythm while enduring Xiang Wenyuan's constant chattering.
He also had to distract himself and think about what bad things Zhao Wenyuan might do to the rope.
My heart is so tired!
On the contrary, the situation on Zhu Lan's side was much more stable.
Although Zhao Sicheng, who was responsible for swinging the rope, was much shorter than Chang Yunxiao, Chang Yunxiao calmly reduced the range of motion of his arms when swinging the rope.
The two of them matched their rhythm perfectly.
After a period of practice, Zhu Lan and the other three who were skipping rope were now able to do it with ease.
"Fifty-three!"
"Fifty-four!"
"Come on, break the record!"
"Fifty-six!"
Zhu Lan shouted out the numbers, and even when he was speaking, he stuck to the rhythm of the counting without missing a beat.
Xiang Wenyuan was still persistently talking to Zhu Qingyan.
"Senior Sister Qingyan, are you wearing any scented sachet? It smells so good..."
Zhu Qingyan was already upset, and he became even more furious when he heard these words. He wanted to scold him.
Just thinking about this, the rhythm of counting suddenly became messed up.
Xue Mei tripped and the data stopped at 52.
At this time, Zhu Lan had already completed eighty consecutive jumps.
When Zhu Qingyan thought that he might lose to Zhu Lan in public again, an inexplicable fear suddenly arose in his heart.
No, we can't lose!
Zhu Lan was just a useless guy as rumored. How could he be better than me in every aspect?
There is only one last chance left. If we can't break Zhu Lan's record this time, we can only watch them win the championship.
Zhu Qingyan had a gloomy face and asked Xiang Wenyuan to switch positions with another boy who was swinging the rope.
Xiang Wenyuan was unhappy at first, but when he saw Zhu Qingyan's expression again, he wondered why she was angry.
Well, it must be because Senior Sister Qingyan was standing too close to me and she felt shy, so she deliberately acted angry.
Dad once said that women like to say one thing and mean another!
Xiang Wenyuan suddenly felt that he could understand.
He moved to a position farther away from Zhu Qingyan, and did not forget to sigh that he was such a considerate, gentle and good man.
The last round started. This time, without Xiang Wenyuan standing in front of him, Zhu Qingyan immediately became much more stable.
In a short while, he had already jumped seventy times in a row.
Zhu Qingyan's voice of counting began to get louder and louder, and his momentum was getting stronger and stronger.
"Seventy-five!"
"Seventy-six!"
However, at this moment, Xiang Wenyuan only felt his body become weak, especially his right hand holding the rope, as if he had suddenly lost consciousness.
"Seventy-nine!"
"eight--"
Just when Zhu Qingyan shouted out the last "eighty" in his high-pitched voice, he had just shouted halfway when he saw the rope under his feet twisting from the other end like a snake, and then fell limply to the ground, dead.
She turned around and glared at Xiang Wenyuan. How come he couldn't even hold the rope when he was about to win?!
At this time, Xiang Wenyuan, whose rope had slipped out of his hand, looked confused and panicked.
He looked at his right hand in disbelief. How could it suddenly become numb?
Zhu Qingyan then realized that what Zhao Wenyuan had done to the rope must have been some kind of anesthetic.
The rope is rough and after being soaked in anesthetic, it is held in the hand and rubbed against the skin. After a period of time, the drug will take effect and paralyze the palm of the person holding the rope.
Damn it, why not earlier or later, but at the most critical moment——
Even if you hold on a little longer!!
Zhu Qingyan didn’t know if this was his fate, but he was just a little bit away from defeating Zhu Lan.
Just a little bit!
Why can a loser like Zhu Lan have a good background, while I am obviously better than her, but I have to hide my miserable identity every day!
But now, even God has begun to be partial to me and won't let me win over her!
I watched as Zhu Lan and six other people walked onto the stage, were announced as first place winners, and received prizes.
The emotions of unwillingness and anger were like a flying mountain, smashing heavily on Zhu Qingyan.
Qiao Youyou got the skip-the-line admission ticket to Yuxiang Pavilion and raised her eyebrows proudly at Xiang Wenyuan.
"Oh, oh, it's just some iced plum cheese, no one would send a servant to queue up for them before dawn, right?
No way, no way? "
Qiao Youyou shook her head and sighed, this ticket for skipping the line is really great!
With the end of the 100-wire jumping event, the academy's competition officially came to an end.
The students are preparing to return to the study to concentrate on their homework.
At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out in Qingya Courtyard.
“Ah——!! Someone’s dead!!!”
