In the blink of an eye, it was time for the preliminaries.
Cheng Cheng had asked Yu Jiajun a few days in advance if he had any relevant information books to prepare.
However, Yu Jiajun expressed that he did not have to worry about this. He told Cheng Cheng that she did not even need to prepare. He replied,""No need. I think Xiwei can answer the questions in the preliminary round! There's no need for you to appear."
Cheng Cheng was worried. Although she knew that Xiwei was a top student, the competition involved all subjects. Was it really possible for Xiwei to compete alone?
The preliminary competition was held on the school field. The teachers had set up a simple stage with a huge banner hanging on it. On it was written," XX County Third Junior High School Knowledge Contest Qingshui Wharf Middle School's preliminary competition."
The seats below the stage were divided into several areas according to the competition teams, which served as the rest area for each team. Apart from that, there were also the audience seats and the judges 'area. The scene was very spectacular.
When Cheng Cheng arrived at the field at the appointed time, the field was already crowded and bustling. Most of them were students who had come to watch the competition. At a glance, their faces were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
After all, this was the first time Qingshui Wharf High School participated in the county's knowledge competition. It was also the first time the students had truly experienced the wisdom of the top students.
An exciting and intense competition was always attractive to people who were curious about everything and liked excitement.
Cheng Cheng pushed her way through the crowd, looking for Jiang Xiwei and the others in confusion. She was suddenly stopped by a familiar voice."Cheng Cheng, here!"
Cheng Cheng turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Xiao Feng jumping up from the crowd and waving at her, her face full of excitement.
Cheng Cheng walked in that direction with difficulty, saying," Sorry, excuse me " countless times on the way.
When she reached Xiao Feng's position, she realized that all the members of the team were there. After hearing Xiao Feng say that this was their team's resting area, Cheng Cheng sat down next to her.
Cheng Cheng sat down and looked around for a while before she saw Jiang Xiwei, who had been busy until midnight before turning off the lights to rest.
Jiang Xiwei leaned lazily on a chair far away from the stage. He was wearing a black cap that covered his eyes, casting a shadow on his handsome face.
Yu Jiajun, who was at the side, saw Cheng Cheng's gaze on Jiang Xiwei and explained,""Xiwei is resting with his eyes closed.”
Cheng Cheng nodded and turned around. She deliberately averted her gaze." She knows him better than anyone else. He's been staying up late these past few days. He's been silently taking on most of the pressure for the team!”There was no such thing as a natural genius. It was just silent hard work.
After the staff had maintained the order of the students watching the competition and the contestants had taken their seats in the rest area, the host leisurely went on stage and announced the rules of the competition.
At this moment, Jiang Xiwei walked over from a secluded corner.
He had already taken off his baseball cap. His short black hair was a little messy because of the cap. He had a smooth and full forehead, a pair of cold and indifferent eyes under his brow bone, a high nose bridge, slightly pursed thin lips, and cold white skin. He walked to the rest area of the team under the heated gazes of everyone.
As he walked over, Cheng Cheng felt that the girls in the audience had been following him closely, accompanied by whispers that she couldn't hear clearly.
Cheng Cheng felt her heart beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Jiang Xiwei walked to the front of their team's resting area, found a chair, and sat down. He then turned to Cheng Cheng and the others to greet them.
"Xiwei, are you okay? Don't be too nervous, you have to believe in yourself!”Cheng Cheng sat behind him, her body leaning forward slightly as she spoke.
"Don't worry! I'm fine. Besides, you're accompanying me in this competition!”Jiang Xiwei leaned back slightly.
"Okay, I'll cheer you on from below!”Cheng Cheng encouraged. Yes, I can finally compete with you.
There was a faint smile on Jiang Xiwei's face. He looked relaxed and relaxed. It didn't feel like he was at a competition, but rather like he was on vacation.
He nodded at Xiao Feng and smiled.""Xiao Feng, I don't think you and Cheng Cheng will be needed to answer the questions later.”
At this moment, he was not as cold as he appeared in front of most people. In front of familiar classmates, he also had a bit of arrogance and mischief unique to teenagers.
When Xiao Feng heard this, she immediately put on a look of admiration. She exclaimed,"Wow! Thank you, Brainiac Jiang, for giving me the chance to cling onto someone's thigh!”
Beside him, Cheng Cheng was also infected by Jiang Xiwei's confidence. She nodded at him and smiled.
As there were a total of 12 teams, the competition was divided into three groups. Each group had four teams. The winners of each group would have another showdown. The final winning team would represent the school to participate in the county competition.
The system would randomly set the questions for each group battle. Each team would take turns answering the questions, and the team with the most points within the specified time would be the winner.
Jiang Xiwei, as the team leader, went on stage to draw the group number. The teams that were assigned to the same group as Jiang Xiwei and the others wailed, while the teams that were lucky enough not to be assigned to the same group heaved a sigh of relief.
Although they knew that Jiang Xiwei and his team would win in the end, who would have thought that they would be eliminated in the first round?
Jiang Xiwei returned with a relaxed pace and told Cheng Cheng that they had drawn the first group.
As expected, top students had different thoughts. Yu Jiajun was very satisfied with the result of the draw. He said excitedly,"Then we can finish the competition earlier and not waste time waiting for the competition.”
Xiao Feng was also very happy.”
It was Cheng Cheng's first time participating in such a large-scale competition, but she wasn't as relaxed as Yu Jiajun and the others.
She looked at the center of the stage, where the host was standing gracefully. Then, she looked at the students around her who were smiling confidently. Her heart was filled with confusion. What would it feel like to stand on the stage with everyone's attention on it?
Cheng Cheng felt that her ordinariness would be exposed, especially when she was with the dazzling Jiang Xiwei.
But what about her? Other than Chinese and English, which were considered to have an advantage for the time being, the other subjects were not even qualified to compare with others.
Her mood suddenly dropped. She felt that she could not help. Compared to the others, she was just a burden in the team.
Jiang Xiwei noticed Cheng Cheng's low spirits behind him and comforted her gently," Don't think too much. Your presence here is the greatest encouragement and motivation for me."”
Cheng Cheng smiled gently at him.
