When summer is over, no one will be in the mood to have fun!
Originally, everyone was going to relax today, but now no one dares to relax under the current circumstances.
——————
Not long after Xia Mang went back to her room to read, Lu Feng called.
"Mangmang, I'm at the hotel. Where are you?" Lu Fengting didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional that he only talked about himself and forgot about his father Xia who was beside him.
"Me? I'm on the top floor. Just come up. I'll meet you at the elevator door."
Xia Mang packed up and left the room. Huang Xia, who was in the living room, felt very strange when she saw Xia Mang leaving in such a hurry.
He knew Xia Mang's temperament. He was usually very calm. Why was he so anxious this time?
Xia Mang was standing at the elevator door, and they arrived soon.
"Lu Feng..."
Xia Mang originally thought that as long as Lu Fengting came, she happily called Lu Fengting's name before the elevator door opened. However, she didn't expect that when the elevator was halfway open, she found that there was another person inside...
"dad?"
Xia Su was a little angry and jealous. His little Baicai hadn't even gotten married yet, but she already cared about this brat beside her and even came out to pick her up, which made him feel so good.
"Daughter~" Father Xia's tone was a little aggrieved. His daughter didn't say anything before calling him, "Don't you want your father to come?"
Xia Mang quickly shook her head, "How could I not want you to come? Didn't Lu Fengting call me just now and not tell me you were coming? Otherwise, my daughter would have gone down to pick you up."
Xia Su was happy when she heard this, and the little grievance she had just felt disappeared in an instant.
She hummed softly and looked at Lu Fengting with the corner of her eyes.
That look seemed to say, you see, my daughter still cares about me more.
"Dad, where are you staying? Do you want me to get you two rooms?"
Xia Su chuckled and shook his head, "Dad is not a child, you don't have to worry about this matter, our room has been booked, don't worry."
"Okay, then I'll go to your place. There are other people where I live, and they might be reviewing right now."
Lu Fengting had no objection to his daughter's words. "Okay, let's go to our place. Are you used to living with your classmates? If not, come and live with Dad."
Xia Mang shook his head and said, "Dad, the teacher may have some things to tell me after this competition, so I won't be living with you anymore."
When talking about this competition, Lu Fengting and Xia Su looked at each other and frowned.
This expression made Xia Mang feel strange. "What's going on? What did you know?"
Lu Fengting took out the room card and opened the room, then poured a glass of water for Xia Mang and Xia Su. "I arrived in Kyoto last night and met with a few high-ranking officials. I accidentally saw a document on their desk. It said the location of the mathematics competition was Yunqi Mountain."
Xia Mang's face turned cold when he heard this. "I knew these Japanese people had bad intentions, and I guessed they might play tricks, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Guessed it?"
Xia Su was a little confused. This matter had not been revealed to the outside world until now. If Lu Fengting hadn't happened to see it, he wouldn't know how his daughter knew about it.
"This morning, I didn't go out. Instead, I went out with my fellow contestants to get breakfast. We happened to meet the Japanese contestants and noticed they were all very tall. They didn't even look like people participating in a math competition, but more like people participating in a sports competition. So we guessed that this math competition was definitely not a regular one."
Xia Su's brows furrowed further and further, "They are indeed well prepared, and the Japanese have absolutely no moral integrity. They'd do anything to win."
"Since you knew that your test results were unusual, why didn't you tell us earlier? Even if you knew now, it would be too late for us to train." Xia Mang was a little angry.
They have been trying their best to win glory, but they are lagging behind.
"I'm afraid they didn't know at the beginning, and the Japanese wouldn't give us a chance to prepare. They only informed us to prepare the venue at the last minute. The Japanese side was also afraid that the students would be nervous and hesitant, so they didn't make it public, right?"
Lu Fengting's explanation was very reasonable, but Xia Mang still felt uneasy. "What they think is good is really good, right? We guessed it."
Xia Mang wrinkled her nose, hugged the pillow on the sofa, and sank her whole body into the sofa, making her look extremely petite.
"That's right, our Mangmang is the smartest." Only Lu Fengting could say such shameless words seriously.
"What should we do now? Sports are arguably the weak point of Chinese students. They've undergone special training, and we're definitely not as good as them at climbing mountains."
Xia Mang is a person who likes to win. Since she has participated, there is no reason for her to give in to others.
Don't tell her that competition comes second and friendship comes first. There is no possibility of friendship between her and the Japanese.
"My suggestion is to divide the area and spread out completely." This is the best way now. Everyone's physical strength is not good to begin with, and it would be a waste of manpower if they all found it together.
"If we disperse, will the Japanese attack us?"
As I said before, the Japanese have no moral integrity.
"Don't worry about that. This time, we'll be filming the competition with the most advanced aerial technology. They shouldn't dare to pull any tricks."
Lu Feng's words of stopping made Xia Mang feel more at ease. Even if she lost, she had to lose clearly and could not be killed without knowing the reason.
Xia Su ruffled his daughter's hair and said, "If you hadn't really passed the exam, and Dad didn't want to be the one holding you back, I wouldn't have let you take it."
Xia Mang didn't expect Xia Su to say that. "Dad, are you worried about me? Hahaha, don't worry, Dad. I'm not a fool. I won't let those people bully me. Even in the mountains, I won't lose."
Not to mention Xia Su, even Lu Fengting was very worried. However, he knew that Xia Mang would definitely not withdraw from the dormitory, so he tried his best to make her feel safe and not be distracted during the competition.
"You must always prioritize your own safety. Remember, Uncle Xia can't live without you, and neither can I."
This was the first time that Lu Feng stopped in front of Mr. Xia and said such explicit words. Normally, he was very gentlemanly whenever Mr. Xia was around.
Xia Mang found it a little funny, but also very touched. "I'm going to the competition. Like you said, there are also aerial photography drones. I've heard from the teacher that this competition will be broadcast live. Think about all the people. They are Japanese people who would rather die than be incorruptible. They dare not do anything bad. The worst result is losing the competition. Like you said, if I lose, I lose. I'm not going to risk my life for it."
Lu Fengting held Xia Mang's small hand in his palm and said, "I'm glad you understand."
What he feared most was her stubborn nature, and it would be best if she could figure it out.
But Lu Fengting didn't know that some people are willing to learn from others but are determined not to change.
Obviously, Xia Mang is one of them.
