3275 A Pick-up Artist?
Gao Qilu was instantly angry and said in an unpleasant tone, “Why are you asking?”
Although she disliked Zhao Weihao and wouldn’t be his girlfriend, she couldn’t accept it when he developed an interest in another girl.
Besides, the girl was Leng Xiaoyao who she hated the most!
Because of that, she felt that she was being overshadowed by Leng Xiaoyao.
“She looks familiar,” Zhao Weihao said. He was honest, otherwise he wouldn’t be interested in Leng Xiaoyao. After all, he wasn’t a superficial person and wouldn’t be interested in a girl just because she was pretty.
However, he had to admit that this girl was stunning and was even more attractive than Gao Qilu.
“She looks familiar? Is that true or are you a pick-up artist?” Gao Qilu said coldly. She clearly knew that Zhao Weihao wasn’t a playboy, but she was really unhappy.
“I’m being honest. She looks familiar,” Zhao Weihao said seriously. He didn’t notice that Gao Qilu was unhappy. After all, she always spoke to him in that tone.
“I’m not familiar with her. If you want to know her name, go ask her yourself,” Gao Qilu said. She was unwilling to tell Zhao Weihao Leng Xiaoyao’s name.
This time, Zhao Weihao saw that Gao Qilu was unhappy. However, he didn’t realize that she was jealous. He knew Gao Qilu’s character very well. She must be displeased because Leng Xiaoyao was more attractive than her.
That being the case, Zhao Weihao stopped asking about Leng Xiaoyao.
He had feelings for Gao Qilu, but he was aware that she had no interest in him. Over the years, he lost his love for Gao Qilu and gave up on her.
…
Before long, the competition began.
The defense was all direct defense, and the opponent was determined by drawing lots.
Those who got 1 were opponents with those who had 2. Even if they were from the same school, they still needed to compete against each other.
This was after all an individual competition, not a team competition.
Nevertheless, no one wanted to compete against schoolmates.
Luckily, there were many competitors in the first round, so only one pair was from the same school, while the others were all from different schools.
There were ten high schools, and each had three students, so there were thirty participants in all. In the first round, fifteen people would be eliminated according to their final scores, instead of who lost in the pairs.
In the second round, seven people would be eliminated. In the third round, there would be three people, and the last three people would compete for the prizes.
Liberal arts included articles, Language Y, politics, history, and geography.
There were fifteen multiple-choice questions. Every question was worth a point.
Fifteen multiple choice questions, two points each, totalling thirty points.
Ten true and false questions, one point each.
Ten answer questions, 4.5 points each, totalling forty-five points.
The participating students needed to answer the questions on the stage. Each student would have a magnetic drawing board in his or her hands. The answers for the multiple-choice questions and true or false questions needed to be written down on the magnetic drawing board. Afterwards, students would show the answers to the audience. The teacher would then announce the correct answer.
The answered questions were rush-answer questions. Whoever got it first would answer first. If the answer was wrong, or the student failed to give an answer, the other students would have the opportunity to answer the question. If the answer was correct, then other students would no longer have a chance to answer.
That was the most important part of the competition.
The participants needed to listen to the questions from the radio before answering them, so this wasn’t only a test of knowledge, but also a test of listening. It wasn’t easy.
On the side of the Experimental High School, Leng Xiaoyao was No.15, a little behind the middle.
Gao Qilu was No.6, which was relatively ahead.
Qin Siyuan was No.12, in the middle
Zhao Weihao was No.3.
All the participants were excellent students with rich experience, so the competition was quite tense.
Participant No.1 failed to answer three questions correctly, with a score of 75.5:64.
Afterwards, participants No.2 and No.3 were on the stage.
Zhao Weihao competed against Mu Sihang who was from the No.2 High School.
Once they met, they took each other as bitter enemies.
The final score was 72:75.5.
Zhao Weihao had 72 points, while Mu Sihang had 75.5 points. Both of them answered a question incorrectly.
There wasn’t a big gap between them that existed in other pairs.
Gao Qilu had a score of 75 points, while her opponent’s score was 62 points. Both of them failed to answer two answer questions correctly.
When it was Qin Siyuan’s turn, he only had several points less than his opponent.
After Qin Siyuan, it was Leng Xiaoyao’s turn.
When Leng Xiaoyao went to the stage, Mr. Chen was nervous. He wasn’t that nervous when Gao Qilu and Qin Siyuan were on stage!
Gao Qilu and Qin Siyuan also focused on Leng Xiaoyao. Although they hoped that their school could win, they didn’t want the winner to be Leng Xiaoyao.
Zhao Weihao focused on Leng Xiaoyao too. The longer he looked at Leng Xiaoyao, the more familiar he thought she was. However, he couldn’t remember her name.
It was not only Leng Xiaoyao’s face, her shape was also familiar to him.
An idea dawned on him. She was the girl who had shown up at Yar Circuit last time!
After remembering who she was, Zhao Weihao was excited. However, because Leng Xiaoyao was participating in the competition, he couldn’t go up and exchange greetings with her.
Zhao Weihao was an excellent student, but he didn’t stay in school all day. In fact, he was often absent from class and hung around outside.
When Leng Xiaoyao had a race that day, he was in Yar Circuit as well.
Zhao Weihao loved car racing and always visited the circuit.
To his surprise, this girl was so young and was a student of the Experimental High School.
When he saw Leng Xiaoyao last time, he knew that she was young, but he thought that she should be in her early twenties. Unexpectedly, she was the same age as him.
She had amazing skills at such a young age, which was awesome.
Zhao Weihao became more interested in Leng Xiaoyao at that moment.
None of the questions were the same, but they were all at the same level.
Leng Xiaoyao was right in of the single-choice questions, multiple-choice questions, and true-false questions. When answering the questions, Leng Xiaoyao basically got them first. Sometimes she failed to do it because she didn’t want to attract too much attention in the first round.
In the end, Leng Xiaoyao’s score was 86.5 points, while her opponent’s was 63.5 points.
For the time being, Leng Xiaoyao had the highest score which aroused jealousy from Gao Qilu, Qin Siyuan, and many other students and teachers.
Mr. Chen was very satisfied and even sent Mr. Yang a glance.
Didn’t Mr. Yang have confidence in Mu Sihang? Leng Xiaoyao had a higher score than Mu Sihang, so Mr. Yang shouldn’t be happy.
Mr. Yang was indeed upset. To his astonishment, the girl who seemed unimportant was incredibly smart.
