Chapter 408 Competition
The next day, Xu Zheng asked Anya about Shi Qian's origins.
Anya said: "He, he should have participated in the intermediate competition in the second half of the year, but he failed a grade and came to participate in the elementary level. I think he is just jealous of Pei Xuanxi. He is so old, but he can't beat someone who is two years younger than him."
Xu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something. She was extremely disgusted with this kind of person. The competition was supposed to be fair, but he actually used such a shady trick.
She made up her mind to pay more attention to Pei Xuanxi.
At breakfast the next day, Xu Zheng looked at Pei Xuanxi vaguely.
What she was thinking was, if Shi Qian wanted to drug him a few days before the competition, Pei Xuanxi would have health problems and would not be able to train, which would definitely affect the day of the competition.
Anya touched Xu Zheng's arm and smiled: "Xu Zheng, I noticed that you pay a lot of attention to Pei Xuanxi."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zheng said bluntly: "Because he is very strong, I want to watch him in the finals."
Anya was ashamed. Why did she feel that Xu Zheng was even more upright than Dai Dai?
After the morning training, Xu Zheng still planned to talk to Pei Xuanxi directly and let him pay attention to himself, although he might not believe her.
During lunch break, Xu Zheng found him in the lounge.
He was sitting alone on the sofa, his arms draped over his legs, his fingers crossed, his hair hanging down to block his profile, making it impossible to see his expression.
Xu Zheng stepped forward and called out, "Pei Xuanxi."
Pei Xuanxi looked up in astonishment. He didn't expect Xu Zheng to come to him on her own. He quickly put on a smile, stood up and asked, "Student Xu is looking for me?"
He took a few steps forward as he spoke, but Xu Zheng stepped back and said to herself, "Uh... let me tell you one thing, be careful about what you eat, because I heard Shi Qian say he was going to drug you."
"Really?" Pei Xuanxi was still smiling, as if he didn't take it seriously.
"Yes, you should pay more attention to yourself." Xu Zheng said.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Pei Xuanxi said, lowering his eyes to look at the distance between them, and smiled: "Will I eat people? Classmate Xu doesn't seem to want to get close to me."
"Ah, no." Xu Zheng touched his head, "It's just that we don't know each other. I'm telling you this suddenly, and I'm afraid you won't believe it."
"I believe it." Pei Xuanxi said, "And now we know each other, right?"
He was getting closer and closer, and Xu Zheng felt too embarrassed to avoid him, "Forget it..."
She changed her mind and realized that she had always wanted to talk to Pei Xuanxi about some skills, but she didn't have the chance before. Now that she had helped Pei Xuanxi, wasn't it a good opportunity to talk about it?
Xu Zheng coughed twice and said, "Well, I helped you, now can I ask you for a small favor?"
Pei Xuanxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly, "Of course, what can I do for you?"
"Can we try sparring? Because I think I can learn your skills." Xu Zheng said.
Pei Xuanxi was just what he wanted. "Okay, then whenever Xu is free in the future, you can come see me."
Xu Zheng immediately perked up and without further ado, she pulled Pei Xuanxi to sit down and asked him about his techniques.
Pei Xuanxi naturally answered with pleasure, but his eyes were always on Xu Zheng's face, sometimes on her lively eyes, and sometimes on her rosy lips.
But A Zheng in front of him was only fifteen years old, so he wouldn't have too many thoughts.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?" Xu Zheng asked.
"No." Pei Xuanxi told her his insights and training methods seriously.
The two seemed to have met each other too late and chatted in the lounge for the whole afternoon.
During the afternoon training, they walked to the training ground together. Pei Xuanxi deliberately stayed very close to her, but Xu Zheng didn't care much and kept talking.
Anya, who came out from the side and was still yawning, saw this and said in surprise: "I said Pei Xuanxi was interested in Xu Zheng!"
-
Two days before the competition, the people who delivered meals to Meng Yin and the other two seemed to have reached a consensus.
Deliver breakfast, lunch, dinner and some snacks and fruits separately.
The three people in the middle asked who made the reservation, but the hotel only knew the initials of those three names.
The food delivered was delicious and different, Xia Nianben was worried that something might happen after eating it, so he took it for inspection and found nothing amiss.
On the afternoon before the competition, Meng Yin was drawing and Tao Tao was doing homework when Xia Nian's cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the notes, stood up and went outside to the hall to type.
The person who called was the son of her former adoptive father. At that time, he refused to let Xia Nian leave. Although it was of no avail, Xia Nian still felt his reluctance and contacted him from time to time afterwards.
A few days ago, when a few people went to apply for mobile phone cards, they happened to meet him and saved his number.
He was very happy. Usually, Xia Nian would not contact him actively, so he would always come to him. Now that he had a mobile phone, he could contact her at any time.
"Hello, Brother Cheng Zhou." Xia Nian spoke first. She stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the street below.
"Niannian, why did you take so long to answer the phone?" Cheng Zhou's voice sounded a little anxious.
Xia Nian said calmly: "I was busy just now, what do you want to say?"
Hearing this, Cheng Zhou's voice softened and he said softly, "I know that dance competition is going to be held soon. You want to participate, right? I can help you prepare the dance clothes and other things."
"No thanks." Xia Nian refused without thinking, "You are also a high school student, use the money on yourself."
Cheng Zhou said anxiously: "It's okay, I don't need the money to buy a set of dance clothes, just contact me when you need it."
Xia Nian was silent. Cheng Zhou waited for a long time but got no response. He said, "Niannian, are you still angry with your parents? There was really nothing you could do at that time..."
"No, I'm not angry." Xia Nian said calmly, "And I don't have the energy to be angry. Everyone had their own difficulties at the time. I don't blame anyone, especially you."
Cheng Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly: "But in my heart, you are my only sister."
He paused, "Besides, I treat you as more than just a sister."
Xia Nian didn't hear this sentence. She noticed someone was looking at her from behind. She turned around and only saw the edge of a black piece of clothing. In the blink of an eye, everything was gone.
"Okay, I'm hanging up." Xia Nian frowned, hung up the phone directly, and walked towards the place where he had just seen the figure.
Over there was a corridor, and only waiters with carts walked by.
Is this an illusion? Xia Nian thought to herself and went back to her room.
After she left, Xiahou Yu appeared from behind, looking down at the ground.
He knew what happened to Xia Nian after she was adopted in his previous life, but in this life, he couldn't change it.
I hate it so much that my teeth itch.
The next day, the three of them took a banner with Xu Zheng's name on it and sat in the audience seats early.
Xu Zheng was preparing backstage. She had just taken a sip of water when she saw Shi Qian being caught from the dressing room.
"What's going on?" Xu Zheng murmured.
Anya came behind her without her noticing, raised her eyebrows and said, "Big news! This morning Pei Xuanxi found laxatives in his water, and found another box of laxatives in Shi Qian's cabinet! Now he has been disqualified from the competition."
Xu Zheng was stunned when she heard this. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight. It was Pei Xuanxi who was tying his belt. He had tied his hair up again and looked normal, as if he was not the one who was drugged.
For Pei Xuanxi, this trick couldn't be any smaller.
The two looked at each other, Pei Xuanxi tilted his head and smiled at her, and Xu Zheng quickly turned her face away.
It seems that Pei Xuanxi listened to her words.
When the competition started, Meng Yin and the other two cheered for Xu Zheng from the audience. Unsurprisingly, Xu Zheng won first place in the women's group.
The coach was in tears and kept praising Xu Zheng for her hard work and talent in front of the camera. After receiving the prize, the two took a photo together.
The three men rushed up to hug her and handed the flowers they had prepared in advance into her arms.
The champion of the men's group also came out, it was Pei Xuanxi.
The two stood on the podium together. At this time, a reporter asked Pei Xuanxi: "Excuse me, has your mentality been affected by the conspiracy of your opponent?"
Pei Xuanxi smiled slightly and said softly: "No, if I were affected, would I still be able to stand with this classmate?"
When Xu Zheng was mentioned, the camera and microphone were suddenly pointed at her. Xu Zheng said bluntly: "Resolutely resist this kind of mean behavior."
Another reporter asked: "Xu, I heard that your father was in prison and you grew up in an orphanage. You must have put a lot of effort into that, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Yin and the other two in the audience changed their expressions. Xu Zheng paused, having never expected that he would suddenly ask about her family.
Meng Yin gritted her teeth and wanted to rush forward, but Xia Nian held her back. Fortunately, Xu Zheng's expression did not change, but she didn't know how to answer. The flashlight and microphone in front of her were very close. At this time, Pei Xuanxi stretched out his hand in front of her and said to the reporter:
"We have no right to interfere in Ms. Xu's private affairs. She is an independent individual with all the good qualities that a karate athlete should have."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the reporter who asked the question dimly, "It naturally involves hard work."
The reporter took his hand back, and Xu Zheng grabbed the microphone. She said to the camera: "That's right, so I hope everyone will pay more attention to the competition and karate!"
The reporter nodded awkwardly, and Xu Zheng and Pei Xuanxi sat down on the podium at the same time.
