"I understand. Good luck with yourselves from now on."
She doesn't care what they're thinking right now, and she won't care even if they don't come to apologize.
Seeing the two very nervous people in front of her, Qi Jiu waved indifferently, said "I look forward to seeing you abroad", and then left with the people behind her.
"You're quite open-minded."
They had all witnessed what had just happened, and An Ran smiled as she looked at the girl's profile.
Qi Jiu curled the corners of her lips indifferently, "Girls are more emotional, and it's already quite an achievement to be able to come to their senses and rationality afterward. Besides, I didn't take those few words to heart at all."
Although I don't want to admit it, it has to be said that in life, girls are more emotional, while boys are more rational.
But their recognition of their shortcomings proves that they are not inherently bad.
She didn't want to care about what happened after that.
Qi Silin had left at some point, and by the time Qi Jiu realized what was happening, her favorite dishes were laid out on the table in her room.
The competition was still going on, and there were only a few subjects, but for some reason, the rules of the competition were changed halfway through.
Since everyone had to participate, and the scores of each student were combined to determine who would go abroad for the competition, the competition time was extended by a few days.
"If that's the case, then what was the point of forming groups in the first place?"
Yu Qi slumped wearily across the table, finding the desserts in front of her unappealing for the first time.
Qi Jiu took a sip of juice and looked back at the scenery outside the glass wall. "This rule must have been changed temporarily, so the repackaging group is meaningless now."
Since everyone has to participate in every subject, it's not much different from an individual competition.
"Our rules have changed now, does that mean that the rules abroad are also changing? Are international academic competitions also changing?"
The rules of the previous competition had become the norm, and now that this norm has been broken, I can't think of any other reason.
Qi Jiu turned her gaze from the scenery outside, looking down at the liquid in the glass on the table, and pursed her lips. "They're trying to create two all-around teams."
The rules for the academic competition are still unknown, and it's likely related to the rules that were temporarily changed.
After the domestic competition ended, a few people sat in their usual seats at the back of the classroom, looking at the rankings on the blackboard, feeling both happy and worried.
"No, I still couldn't beat you this time? What's wrong with your brain?"
Chang Xiaoyuan looked at An Ran and sighed. "Am I destined to be overshadowed by you for the rest of my life?"
An Ran smiled and said, "Just accept it, this is fate."
Despite the large number of people in the classroom, only ten people, divided into two groups, will ultimately represent China in the competition.
Qi Jiu looked at her name at the top and nodded. Her reaction to the news was like... "I know?"
Yu Qi was so happy when she saw her sixth-place ranking that she almost grinned from ear to ear.
"Thank goodness, at least I didn't embarrass my school. But why are people's brains so different?"
Coincidentally, all of their names were in the top ten.
Another large group of students returned to their schools, but this time, they will bring their academic achievements back to be judged by others.
The classroom, which was originally packed with people, now has only ten people left.
The teacher stood on the podium at the front, with the multimedia system behind her already turned on. Looking at the information displayed, Qi Jiu raised an eyebrow.
"As you can see, we will be going to the United States for a competition. The competition will be held at the famous Erlin University in the United States. I believe you have all heard of it, whether from social media or news."
The teacher smiled faintly. "Erlin University is famous in the United States and even internationally. It's like University A in City A and University D in City D."
However, it needs to become even more famous.
Such high value made the faces of the people in front of them even more excited.
The moment the words "University of Erlin" appeared, the prestige of this competition became clear.
"You are the ten best guards in this academic competition. Form groups of five and form your own teams."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Jiu felt many gazes fall upon her.
Qi Jiu: "..."
She realized that being good at studying makes you more popular at crucial moments.
In the end, she still chose an old acquaintance, since she wouldn't feel too awkward around him.
"We're finally not on opposite sides anymore."
Chang Xiaoyuan scratched his head. "You know, during the previous competition, those brats in our group kept asking me to come and scout the enemy's situation, and they even asked me to lure them! That's outrageous!"
This is an absolute slander against his character!
"Who can argue with that? If it weren't for my grades, those brats might have led me down some crooked path." An Ran smiled bitterly.
Time flies, and before they knew it, it was time for them to go abroad for the competition.
Yu Qi took a bite of bread, her face a mixture of nervousness and excitement. "This is my first time going abroad."
Their visas had already been approved when they were preparing to register for the competition, so now they could just pack up and go.
"Who says otherwise?" Chang Xiaoyuan took a sip of cola, savoring the taste in his mouth, and smiled with a refreshed expression.
"Qiqi, what should we be careful about when we go abroad? Do we need to speak a foreign language all the time?"
When asked this question, the girl pursed her lips and remained silent, only giving him a knowing look.
"……Um?"
“You’ll have no problem speaking Chinese in the US, it just depends on whether the foreigners can understand you. Besides, what’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t you already get training before you came?” An Ran shook her head.
Chang Xiaoyuan pursed his lips. "I haven't spoken to any proper foreigners yet... so what should I be careful about?"
The subtle excitement on his face made the little girl's lips curve into a smile. "Be careful, don't fall behind. There's no such good public security abroad as in China."
Abroad, even in developed countries, it's normal to have your wallet stolen, let alone whether it will lead to death.
Upon hearing this, Chang Xiaoyuan pursed his lips and stroked his chin, as if deep in thought.
"That's true, but you can't expect murders and robberies to happen on the street, can you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Xiaoyuan successfully received three smiles.
Chang Xiaoyuan: "..."
