Chapter 50
While Jiang Bai and Ye Ze were confronting each other, Lan Shuqing and his group were competing in the rematch.
The competition started yesterday. The team preliminary round was on Friday, and the team semi-final and team final were on Saturday. The semi-final was divided into two rounds. After the two rounds, including Lan Shuqing's team, a total of six teams entered the finals. The top three teams competed against each other to see who had the higher score. The final exam questions were divided into essay questions and on-site interpretation to see who was faster and more accurate.
The English class of Peking University has always been ranked very high. In the end, Lan Shuqing and his team won the first prize. The atmosphere in the conference hall was very high. The people watching the game on site cheered, and the teachers of Peking University also praised Lan Shuqing and his team highly.
The team competition is over, and there is still one day of individual competition tomorrow. Teams from various schools have left the venue one after another, either going back to prepare, or deciding not to participate in the individual competition and going out to have fun.
Those from Peking University who participated in the team competition this time also signed up for the individual competition. They also had to prepare when they returned home in the evening, so they went back to their respective places. However, Fu Xiaoqian was going to be with Lan Shuqing.
With the resources of a top student, how can you not use them?
Fu Xiaoqian came close to Lan Shuqing and said, "Shuqing, where are you going to practice questions later? I'll go with you."
Lan Shuqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat first."
When the classmates around heard this, they all came over and said, "Shu Qing, let's go together!"
"Right, right. We can't skip eating and training together just because of the individual competition tomorrow..."
Lan Shu chuckled and nodded, "Then let's do it all together."
Fu Xiaoqian sighed and took Lan Shuqing's arm, "Whether you two come together or not, I'm going to sit next to Shuqing anyway."
When the others saw this, they all laughed and said, "Squad leader, you're going too far."
Fu Xiaoqian leaned against Lan Shuqing, laughing even louder than the others. "Shuqing won't think I'm going too far," she tilted her head to look at Lan Shuqing, very proud, "right?"
Lan Shu shook her head slightly. She looked at Fu Xiaoqian with a smile, "Even if I think it's excessive, it's not excessive, right?"
Fu Xiaoqian gave a thumbs up and said, “Bingo!”
Jiang Bai didn't get to watch the game. After returning home, he searched online but couldn't find any information. He felt frustrated.
That evening, along with the news that Peking University's English class had won the championship in the translation team competition, a new post appeared on the Peking University campus forum: A discussion of the incident where a senior student who had left school was splashed with water.
The person who posted briefly described the scene that day. They were just having afternoon tea, but they didn't expect to meet a senior brother named Ye and an unknown senior sister. The two were very polite at first, and then they started arguing. The name of a senior sister named Lan was also heard in their conversation.
The post included Ye Ze’s original words, and his determined look made everyone laugh.
[Someone surnamed Ye seems to have forgotten that Senior Sister Lan had already rejected him!]
[That's right, how dare you say Senior Sister Lan will marry him sooner or later? I think he'll end up eating shit sooner or later!]
[Sister! Good scolding! I've been fed up with his arrogance for a long time!]
[Yes, he always acts like he’s so great. The physics department next door didn’t say anything. So, is it his turn?]
【……】
Not to mention how angry Ye Ze would be when he saw this post, but all the alumni felt like they had gotten some relief.
Occasionally, there would be a sentence or two in the comments speaking up for Ye Ze, saying that he shouldn't have thrown coffee, and then he would be retorted by others.
Fu Xiaoqian is a surfing expert. She saw this post before going to bed that night. It was already past eleven o'clock and Lan Shuqing had already gone to bed. Fu Xiaoqian saw a few blurry photos in the post, photos of Ye Ze facing people, and photos of Ye Ze leaving in a mess with coffee all over his body. She couldn't help but sigh that someone finally cured this arrogant person!
As Lan Shuqing's roommate, Fu Xiaoqian knew very well that Ye Ze had been waiting for Lan Shuqing downstairs every day. At first, she and others thought that Ye Ze was a handsome guy who looked presentable and should be quite good.
But ever since Lan Shuqing clearly rejected him, this man began to look at Lan Shuqing with a helpless yet doting look.
It was as if Lan Shuqing was angry with him.
Moreover, he acted as if he had already won over Lan Shuqing to other people. In fact, Lan Shuqing had never agreed to his request, but had clearly rejected it from the beginning.
Because of this, the boys from the neighboring department came to her to ask about it. When they heard that Lan Shuqing had not agreed at all, they exposed Ye Ze's behavior without hesitation. Only then did Fu Xiaoqian and the others realize how disgusting Ye Ze was.
They would not contact Ye Ze unless necessary.
Fu Xiaoqian forwarded the post to Lan Shuqing and left a message: Shuqing, I didn’t expect that your sister is so good at scolding people, and she scolds really well.
Lan Shuqing didn't see it until the next day. They had been doing exercises until ten o'clock yesterday, and then they washed up and went to bed. They didn't check the messages before going to bed, but they saw the message from Fu Xiaoqian as soon as they finished cleaning up in the morning.
After reading the entire post, Lan Shuqing couldn't tell what she felt. She opened the chat box with Jiang Bai, hesitated for a long time, and said nothing.
Fu Xiaoqian’s evaluation was good, she is indeed good at scolding.
But when did Jiang Bai learn to curse?
Jiang Bai is a very obedient person when things are going well and he will do whatever he is told to do. But when things are going badly for him, he has a terrible attitude and doesn't leave any room for maneuver.
For Lan Shuqing, whenever she saw Jiang Bai, her mental defenses would collapse. She never thought that she would see Jiang Bai in Jing City.
I originally thought that after going to college, the two of them would be two parallel lines that would never intersect. In four years, everything would pass, and even if there was something in the past, it would disappear in time.
But when Lan Shuqing heard that Jiang Bai came to Beijing at the same time as her, she was shocked, but she concealed it well. No one knew how surprised she was that night and how much she couldn't understand why Jiang Bai came to Beijing.
Zhenghe's treatment is not bad, and Jiang Bai is not completely without development in City A. She is still a homebody. Lan Shuqing and Jiang Bai used to spend most of their time at Jiang Bai's house. Naturally, she knows how happy Jiang Bai is to have her own house and her own home, and how attached she is to her home.
But it was such a person who gave up the stable life in City A and came to Beijing alone.
Lan Shuqing couldn't figure it out. She looked at the last chat record with Jiang Bai, the lucky beads on her wrist feeling cold. She clicked on Jiang Bai's blank profile picture, then went back, typed two words, and deleted them in silence...
When Fu Xiaoqian came back from washing up in the morning, she saw Lan Shuqing sitting there in a daze with her phone in her hand. She walked over and patted Lan Shuqing on the shoulder, "Shuqing, what are you doing?"
Lan Shu shook his head lightly, turned off his phone, and looked up. "Ah, nothing."
Fu Xiaoqian was suspicious and said, "Oh," "Did you see the post I sent you yesterday?"
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "I see."
Fu Xiaoqian smiled, "Your sister is quite amazing."
Lan Shuqing stood up and held Fu Xiaoqian's shoulders. "I know, class monitor, go and clean up. We still have a competition later."
Fu Xiaoqian was pushed away by her, "Hey, I'm telling you, we should stay away from Senior Brother Ye from now on..."
Lan Shu nodded slightly, "Hmm..."
While Fu Xiaoqian was tidying up, Lan Shuqing opened his phone and forwarded the post to the family group. He then forwarded a copy to Ye Ze, blocked him without saying anything.
Before, he gave Ye Ze face and didn't block him on WeChat. Occasionally, he would receive words of concern from Ye Ze, but Lan Shuqing pretended not to see them. After all, the two companies were still in a cooperative relationship. But this time, Ye Ze went too far.
Jiang Bai was just an innocent victim, so why did Ye Ze scold Jiang Bai?!
Among the five people in the family group, Li Liyue was the first to reply. She sent three question marks and then tagged Lan Zhaoting: Look at your good friend’s son!
Then he tagged Lan Shuqing: Shuqing, he treated you like that before, why didn’t you tell your family at all?
Obviously read all the comments and understood what happened.
Lan Qi also said: Shu Qing, he didn’t do anything to you, right?
Lan Shuqing replied: I'm fine.
Then he explained: I didn’t tell you before because it was not a big deal and I could handle it, but he went too far this time.
Li Liyue tagged Lan Zhaoting again: We must terminate the cooperation with the Ye family. What kind of education can make you say such words? It's really unlucky!
After a while, Lan Zhaoting replied: I understand, wife, I will arrange it.
Lan Qi thought of something else: Shu Qing, you'd better be careful at school, okay?
Lan Shu replied: Well, I know, Beijing University is very safe, and he wouldn’t dare to do anything to me.
Next: Don’t worry, brother.
However, Li Liyue noticed another thing: Shu Qing, did Jiang Bai go to Peking University to find you?
Ever since Lan Zhaozhao said that Jiang Bai was also in Beijing last time, Li Liyue felt inexplicably nervous, afraid that something might happen between her and Lan Shuqing. Li Liyue had complicated feelings about Jiang Bai's protection of Lan Shuqing.
Lan Shuqing looked at Li Liyue's question and replied: It was just a chance encounter.
Li Liyue didn't believe in coincidence. Maybe Jiang Bai did it on purpose, but the emperor was far away and Beijing was too far away.
Hopefully her worries are unnecessary.
In the morning's individual competition, Lan Shuqing lived up to expectations and won first place. The first-place team and individual will be rewarded with internship opportunities. The China Translators Association and the Diplomatic Press are very optimistic about the team from Peking University, especially Lan Shuqing.
So a week after the competition, several participants accepted internship invitations, either to the Translation Association or to well-known government-cooperated enterprises in the industry. The internship lasted for half a year and was scheduled to take place after the holiday.
After all, they are still a group of students and have to take final exams.
So this summer, Lan Shuqing did not return to City A, but rented a single loft outside, between the internship department and Peking University, which was convenient for traveling back and forth. Fu Xiaoqian did not rent a house together with Lan Shuqing because they were not in the same place.
Also, during this competition, Fu Xiaoqian fell in love with a boy from the neighboring school, and they were dating very passionately.
