Unexpectedly, after An Youhe left, Grandma was so good at eating. An Youhe pouted, held back her tears, and picked up a rag to skillfully wipe the stove.
The old lady is just stubborn. She doesn't want to eat anything and insists that she's eating very well, even though she's already quite old.
The firewood had all burned out. An Youhe went outside and saw her grandmother leaning on her cane, slowly moving step by step.
Where to go?
"I'll go gather firewood to start a fire and cook."
An Youhe walked away with stubborn steps.
As soon as she stepped out the door, the girl leaned against the corner of the wall and silently shed tears.
Tears fell like beads from a broken string, one by one.
Before she had been sad for even a minute, the girl wiped away her tears again and turned to gather firewood.
...
"The Gug Global Programming Challenge is not a team competition; there is only one winner. The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and finals, and the final winner will receive a prize of five million US dollars."
In the waiting room before the preliminary rounds began, Wen Yi explained the competition rules in detail.
Ren Gan lay down on the sofa and said, "Sister Wen, you've said it so many times, we all know it. I'm so tired of hearing it. We'll definitely give it our all in the competition."
"You better not get eliminated in the preliminary rounds, 99% of the participants will be eliminated in the preliminary rounds!"
Chen Yang couldn't hold back any longer. He had been so confident of victory, but suddenly panicked: "Ninety-nine percent, shouldn't we eliminate fifty percent first? This is completely unreasonable!"
Ren Gan jumped up from the sofa with a start. "What? You didn't tell me this! How many contestants are there in total?"
Wen Yi calmly replied, "The contestants are outstanding programmers selected from all over the world. There are a total of one thousand people, which means that only ten out of one thousand people can enter the semi-finals. However, you are all winners who have fought your way out from hundreds of thousands of people in the province, so the odds should not be a problem."
Wen Yi smiled as she looked at Bai Xu, who was wiping his sweat in the corner: "So nervous, you're already wiping your sweat? Relax, Bai Xu, it's not like you only get one chance in your life."
Bai Xu smiled somewhat embarrassedly and pointed to the 28-degree air conditioner, "It's a bit hot."
An announcement came over the loudspeaker in the waiting room: "All participants, please proceed to the competition area."
Wen Yi clapped her hands. "Everyone, give it your all, there'll be no problem!"
Ye Zhou followed him into the waiting room. He was very calm, with his hands in his pockets, and walked in unhurriedly.
The elimination rate in the preliminary round was as high as 99%. He had never seen a competition like this before, and the questions must be very interesting.
The competition lasts for sixty minutes, during which all programming problems must be completed.
"The exam is over, and I'm sure everyone can see the results on their computers now. Those who did not pass, please leave the exam room. I'm sorry, but I hope you'll come back next time."
The host, speaking English with a strong curry accent, stood in front of the big screen and announced the winner.
Photos of Ye Zhou, Rang Rengan, Bai Xu, and Chen Yang were all displayed on the big screen, while the other six were foreigners.
The four of them walked out of the competition venue side by side.
Wen Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "You guys are really something! You're the best team I've ever led. None of the four people I brought last year won the preliminary test."
Ren Gan said, "Hey, Sister Wen, didn't you say just an hour ago that the preliminary test would be easy to pass?"
Wen Yi playfully stuck out her tongue. "Isn't this to relieve some of your mental stress? The competition is over for today. You can leave the Octagon and go for a stroll outside."
...
On the golden beach, there are many hot and beautiful women, as well as strong and muscular men.
Beautiful women in bikinis were sunbathing on deck chairs.
Chen Yang followed Ye Zhou, both of them wearing only slippers and beach shorts.
"Look at these white people, they're so white!" Chen Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
"What you said is as good as nothing."
"No, aren't they afraid of getting a tan? They just sit there in the sun like that."
“White people all want to get a tan,” Ye Zhou said.
"Huh? What's going on? There are so many pretty girls, but I can't find any in China. I might as well find one abroad. I heard that foreign beauties like muscular men."
As Chen Yang spoke, he quickened his pace, "Ye Zhou, you can play by yourself, I'm going to flirt with some girls!"
Ye Zhou shook his head helplessly and walked on the beach. The golden sand, the azure sky and the sea were a spectacular sight, and there were many seagulls circling in the sea.
He wandered around, and before he knew it, he saw a familiar black figure on the rocks by the sea, with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall.
The young woman, dressed in a black haute couture gown, sat on the rocks by the sea, hugging her knees.
Ye Zhou had some doubts in his heart, so he stepped forward to verify his guess.
"Lin Mengting?"
The girl turned around, and those cold eyes were indeed Lin Mengting's.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Zhou asked.
"Vacation." The girl's answer was short and efficient.
Wealthy people usually travel abroad because during domestic holidays, they always see dense crowds.
Ye Zhou had nothing to say in response.
There wasn't much to do around the Octagon, and it was quite far from downtown LA. There was plenty of ocean nearby, so Ye Zhou didn't understand why Lin Mengting had chosen this place.
But rich people can do whatever they want, and it's none of his business.
At first, when he saw the girl on the reef, he thought she was going to jump into the sea, so he went over to check on her.
When he saw it was Lin Mengting, he felt there was absolutely no possibility.
This woman had excellent living conditions in every way; there was no reason for her to jump into the sea.
Ye Zhou only said, "Then have fun, I'm leaving."
The moment she turned around, the girl spoke coldly: "Please leave Youhe and stop bothering her."
It's this again. Ye Zhou chuckled. This girl still doesn't know what it means to give up. Is it because she's always been able to get everything she wants since she was little, so she can't accept the feeling of not getting it?
"You're really persistent. If I had that kind of willpower, I probably wouldn't have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University, but into Harvard."
Lin Mengting stood up from the reef and looked at Ye Zhou from afar. Her long, black hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were cold, like a demon descended upon the world.
"It's all because of you. Because you're by her side, she can't see anyone else. You've been controlling her, savagely possessing her in what you think is a romantic way, without ever asking her feelings or whether she's willing. Youhe wasn't like this before; she was just being controlled by you."
