Chapter 113 First
The two men wrung out each other's clothes on their backs and returned to the hotel.
Fortunately, the weather in the south is already very hot in May.
When the elevator reached the floor, the two of them came out and saw that all the boys in their team were gathered in the corridor, forming a semicircle at the door of a room.
One of them held a broom and the other held a plastic bag. They rushed in with a fearless determination, as if they had made up their minds.
Jiang Zhao: "What are you doing?"
One person said, "School girl, go back quickly and remember to close the windows at night."
The whole thing is mysterious.
Luo Yan put his arm around Jiang Zhao and asked her to walk on the other side.
As they passed by, the boys suddenly started shouting.
Jiang Zhao looked inside curiously and saw a huge cockroach flying up and down inside.
The two people who had just entered were trying to use a broom to shoo the cockroaches into a garbage bag.
Jiang Zhao: “…”
At this time, the cockroach took off again, but this time it changed direction and flew straight to the door.
There was a commotion outside the door. One of them was quick-witted and slammed the door shut with a bang.
Jiang Zhao could hear them all sighing in relief.
"No." The corners of her mouth twitched: "Aren't you going to let the cockroaches out?"
The boys talked at once:
"How can you let it out? It will definitely be put in a bag and stepped on to death."
"It would be bad if it flew into someone else's room."
"Don't worry, schoolmate, they can catch them."
Two people in the house screamed.
As if they couldn't hear, the few people reminded Jiang Zhao again: "Schoolmate, you must close the door at night and check it carefully. If there are any insects, call us."
It doesn't seem very credible.
Jiang Zhao said sincerely, "Okay."
Arriving at the door of the room, Jiang Zhao swiped the room card and opened the door.
Before going in, she whispered to Luo Yan, "If you're afraid of bugs, you can call me. I'm really not afraid. I even caught frogs when I was a kid, and I didn't need a plastic bag."
She paused, wrinkling her nose. "When I got home, my grandma said I caught a toad. I was so mad."
Luo Yan was touched by her cuteness: "I know, my girlfriend is the best, go take a shower."
Jiang Zhao closed the door.
The hotel's soundproofing is pretty average, and the boys next to me were screaming.
She remembered a time when she was in the first grade of junior high school and a huge insect seemed to have flown into the classroom.
She grabbed it and threw it out of the window.
What was the reaction of their classmates at that time?
Jiang Zhao recalled.
I can't remember.
never mind.
It doesn't matter.
——————
The closing ceremony was held on Monday morning.
The leader of the Mathematical Society gave a speech first.
Next, it’s time to announce the results.
For six hundred people, there are about two hundred gold medals, two hundred silver medals, and two hundred bronze medals, with the number at each level fluctuating slightly.
Nouns are read from back to front.
Jiang Zhao could hear the people around him muttering to themselves, hoping they wouldn't read about him.
The bronze medal list has been read out.
Four people on their team won bronze medals.
Then, eight people took silver medals.
The remaining eight people whose names have not been read are candidates for gold medals and the national team.
Those whose names were read out were not too upset and quickly continued to listen to the list attentively.
Huang Xuelin could no longer suppress the joy on his face.
Regardless of the ranking, the number of gold medals this year has set a record high.
The list of names after sixty has been read out.
There are still three people left in their team who haven't read yet.
Jiang Zhao unconsciously tightened his grip on Luo Yan's hand.
The two of them looked at each other, and Jiang Zhao smiled: "Congratulations, teammate?"
Luo Yan asked: "Are you nervous?"
"I'm not nervous." Jiang Zhao said confidently, "I just don't know if I can be first."
When only the top ten were left, Jiang Zhao and Luo Yan's names were still not on the list.
The few people who bet that Jiang Zhao would not be in the top ten wailed a few times, but were then replaced by excitement, as if they were also proud of it.
In fact, everyone already had a premonition when they had the discussion on Saturday.
But when it comes to this point, it still feels unreal.
No one from their provincial team was on the national team's training list last year.
Not only did he make it into the top three this year, but two of them were also in the top ten?
"Sixth place, Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School, Luo Yan, 120 points."
There were six questions in the national competition, each worth twenty-one points, and he was only six points short.
Luo Yan stood up and went on stage to receive the medal.
Jiang Zhao said to him, "Wait for me."
Luo Yan nodded slightly: "Okay."
When they walked into the aisle, Huang Xuelin came over and patted him on the shoulder excitedly.
After reading two more names, someone murmured, "Could they have missed out the junior school girl?"
Huang Xuelin's hairs were tense at this moment. He was listening attentively with his ears pricked up. Hearing this, he scolded: "Go away! Do you think the teacher is as careless as you?"
Can you speak?
He said this, but he was also worried in his heart.
When Jiang Zhao was not the second place, Huang Xuelin felt like he was suffocating.
He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao stuck out his tongue slightly and nodded at him.
I heard the teacher on the stage say
"First place, Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School, Jiang Zhao, 126 points."
Full marks.
The only one with full marks.
The atmosphere of their provincial team was instantly boiling.
Jiang Zhao felt someone shaking his shoulders wildly from behind, and the cheers of his teammates drowned out the whole crowd.
The eyes of the entire auditorium were cast over, curious about what this year's only first place would look like.
The person standing up was a tall girl with long black hair that fell to her waist. Under her slender eyebrows were a pair of slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, and she had a bright appearance.
It’s actually a girl?
There was a lot of discussion in the auditorium.
Huang Xuelin wanted to rush over to celebrate, but then he remembered that Jiang Zhao hadn't yet gone on stage to receive his medal and certificate. He quickly stopped the team members surrounding Jiang Zhao and said, "What are you doing? Hurry up, classmate Jiang, hurry up and get on stage."
Huang Xuelin was speechless.
Jiang Zhao looked at the stage and walked to the center of the podium under everyone's attention.
The presenter verified, "Jiang Zhao?"
She nodded.
The presenter hung the gold medal around her neck and said, "Congratulations."
Jiang Zhao took the certificate.
The flash went off.
Jiang Zhao bowed, turned around, and saw the young man standing at the bottom of the stairs, extending his hand to her.
He will be her future companion.
Jiang Zhao's steps couldn't help but jump with joy, and he almost ran off the stage and hugged him tightly.
Many people's eyes fell on them.
But it doesn’t matter, others will just think they are celebrating together as classmates.
Luo Yan whispered in her ear, in a voice only she could hear: "That's amazing, girlfriend."
Jiang Zhao smiled, and she let go of her hand: "Let's take a picture."
