This was overtime! It was very likely that the outcome would be decided in one point.
Cheng Cheng had never experienced such an exciting competition before. She had always watched or accompanied Jiang Xiwei to participate in the competition. It was a completely different experience for her first time.
This knowledge competition had allowed her to completely jump out of her comfort zone. In just half a month, she had experienced rapid preparation, intense group competitions, and exciting finals. These were things that she had thought were definitely " big things " in the past.
For the past few days, she had been having an illusory feeling. Perhaps it was the defense mechanism of her heart, but she felt like she was in a dream.
It wasn't until she stood on the stage and glanced at the audience's sparkling eyes that she felt a sense of surrealism.
No one knew that Cheng Cheng's heart had been completely changed by this competition. From now on, she no longer only wanted stability. She had a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat!
What followed was a wave of nervousness.
Her hands clenched tightly, and her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid it would jump out.
Don't be nervous. Just follow the flow of the group stage and the finals. Didn't you do well?
Cheng Cheng patted her chest with her right hand and whispered to herself.
[Clear Water Bay Secondary School gets one point for answering correctly]
[One point for County No.1 Middle School if you answer correctly.]
[Now the opportunity to answer the question has been snatched by the county's No. 1 Middle School... you got it right.]
[Qingshui Wharf High School is not to be outdone either…]
「……」
The male host's high-pitched voice echoed in the auditorium. His excited words infected every student present.
The top right corner of the big screen showed the current score of the two teams, 9:9.
Yu Jiajun clicked his tongue in frustration in the preparation area. He looked at the countdown on the bottom right corner of the big screen and felt as if his heart was on a frying pan.
There were only three minutes left in the match. It was time to decide the winner!
In such a short period of time, any difference of one point could very likely affect the final result.
He subconsciously held his breath and clenched his fists as he prayed for the three people on the field,"The questions that we encounter in the future must be questions that they know!"”
The score was still evenly matched. This anxious situation made everyone's hearts hang tightly.
One minute left.
The emotions of the two teams on the field were obviously affected by the last minute countdown.
Yu Jiawei took off his slightly tired school uniform, revealing a simple black sweater underneath. He moved his wrists and placed his slender and powerful hands gently on the red button for the first answer. He held his breath and waited for the last question to appear on the big screen.
The other members of County No. 1 High School were also ready to go.
The questions were set.
In ancient times, there was a scholar who lived in a simple thatched cottage. His front door faced the rich man's back garden, and there was a clump of bamboos in the garden, so he wrote a couplet: "The door faces a thousand bamboo poles, and ten thousand books are hidden in the chest.”The rich man saw it and was very angry. He cut the bamboo down at the waist, thinking that the scholar's couplet had to be taken down. However, the scholar made a slight change (A), and it became interesting again. The rich man became even angrier and simply cut off the bamboo, leaving only the bamboo roots underground. The scholar changed it again (B), which showed the scholar's outstanding talent. What did Scholar modify in A/B?
It seemed that the last question was a Chinese language question.
Moreover, the question setter was also crazy. The last question was actually a fill-in-the-blank question and not a multiple-choice question. How was he supposed to answer the questions?
Those who did not have a large amount of reading foundation and high-intensity language foundation would not be able to answer. The audience below the stage were also confused as they whispered to each other.
Cheng Cheng stared at the question on the big screen and pursed her lips. This question wasn't a common general knowledge question and was a little tricky.
He quickly recalled the books and novels he had read in his previous life and searched for the answer.
Because her brain was filled with too much knowledge, she now felt that the corresponding sentences in any book seemed to be the correct answer. She could not help but feel anxious.
Cheng Cheng exhaled lightly and casually tucked the stray strands of hair behind her ears. The noise around her was very noisy, but her ears had already quieted down. At the same time, she searched through the memories in her mind.
Neither team dared to press the answer button.
The current score was a tie between the two teams, which meant that if they answered first but got it wrong, it would be equivalent to giving away their points.
The students in the two teams 'preparation area behind him were quickly flipping through the information in their hands. However, with so much knowledge, finding the question in a short period of time was no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Cheng Cheng's eyes were fixed on the last answer box. She stared at the big screen in front of her, her eyes a little sore, but she didn't blink.
She pressed the answer button.
The light representing Qingshui Wharf High School lit up. Following that was a firm and clear female voice.
"A door is short against a thousand bamboo poles, and there are thousands of books in the chest. The bamboo pole facing the door is short, but there are thousands of books hidden in the chest.」
[Correct.]
[Ding] 1. The competition has ended.
Cheng Cheng's ears rang with the cheers of the audience.
At the same time, she felt the heated gazes of her opponents and teammates from all directions.
Xiao Feng couldn't hold back her excitement and rushed over to hug Cheng Cheng, shouting," Cheng Cheng, you're amazing! Aaah!"
Cheng Cheng was caught off guard by the hug, and her joy climbed up from the bottom of her heart. She still felt like she was in a trance, and she couldn't believe that she could actually score a critical point.
Waves of cheers rang out from the audience, gradually overlapping to form a uniform line of "Qingshui Wharf High School is awesome"
Yu Jiajun and the others also jogged over from the preparation area, their faces beaming with joy." Cheng Cheng is amazing! We won!"”
Cheng Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. She blinked her sore eyes and slowly curved her lips. She smiled at her teammates and said," It's everyone's credit!”He smiled happily at everyone.
Jiang Xiwei walked over from the other side and patted Cheng Cheng's head. He praised her lovingly and proudly," Girl, you're great!”
"I'm also very happy that I can finally fight alongside you and not drag you down.”Cheng Cheng's eyes were slightly red. If one looked closely, one could see a faint layer of mist in them.
"You've never held me back. You've always been the one who motivated me.”Jiang Xiwei's emotions were also surging, and he could not calm down for a long time.
"Wow!"
"Wow, this Jiang Xiwei from Qingshui Wharf High School is so gentle to this girl!”
"This girl is so beautiful! And so powerful!" In addition to the screams of victory, there were also many jeers and jokes.
Wang Lili, who was standing at the side, was also very happy when she saw her childhood friend and cousin win the competition. He had not gone to greet them since the preliminaries, afraid that it would affect their preparations.
Seeing the interaction between the two on the stage, he did not think too much about it. After all, his eldest cousin had been exceptionally good to him since he was young!
He was shocked by Cheng Cheng's performance this time. When did her grades improve so quickly?
Finally, the host went on stage to announce the final results of the competition.
Qingshui Wharf High School won by a narrow margin of one point. They won the championship of this year's knowledge competition!
All the participants were convinced. Qingshui Wharf High School was indeed the strongest. Jiang Xiwei's mathematical ability was terrifying, and everyone admitted defeat.
Cheng Cheng and Xiao Feng were also experts in Chinese, politics, and history. They perfectly made up for Jiang Xiwei's relatively weak part. With the strong team, they won the championship, which was what everyone expected!
However, for the county's No. 1 Middle School, this result was of course a pity. After all, they were defeated by a one-point gap, so it was inevitable that they would feel unhappy.
When Cheng Cheng's team was packing up and preparing to leave the auditorium, they passed by the rest area of County No. 1 Middle School and saw the team members standing together dejectedly.
Yu Jiawei didn't seem to care about the results of the competition. He wasn't the kind of person who valued fame and results.
He didn't care whether he got first place or not. He had enjoyed the fun of PK with Jiang Xiwei in this match and was in a good mood.
When he saw Jiang Xiwei and his group passing by them, he greeted them," Hi, Xiwei!”
Jiang Xiwei stopped and turned around to look at him.
Yu Jiawei walked over and bumped fists with his old opponent. He smiled and said," You played well in this game!”
In the eyes of many people, he and Jiang Xiwei should be rivals who would not back down. However, for the two of them, it was more appropriate for them to be friends because of the " love " they had for each other.
Before the match, he had deliberately said some harsh words to Jiang Xiwei, hoping to arouse his competitive spirit and have a hearty " battle " between them.
Jiang Xiwei raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile," You're not bad yourself! I feel that your mathematics is much better than before!”
Yu Jiawei said," That's right! Without you suppressing me, I'll be able to study happily after I leave City B!”He smiled at Jiang Xiwei teasingly.
Yu Jiawei and Jiang Xiwei chatted for a while more and agreed to play basketball together at home next month. Then, they waved goodbye to each other.
