Chapter 73 Jiang

Haobin’s words helped.

Cheng Xiaoyue signed up for the Foreign Language Speaking Competition within a few days, and soon contacted a training institution outside the school.

She was cramming, so her time was very tight. She had to go to class every night, and when she came back she had to practice her speech in front of the mirror for an hour. She had to temporarily reduce Jiang Haobin's tutoring to once a week.

Even so, Cheng Xiaoyue's sleep time had to be continuously compressed from 5 hours, and in the end he could only sleep for 4 or 5 hours.

The high-pressure environment made her develop the habit of racing against time. As soon as I wake up every day, I subconsciously turn on the Bluetooth speaker first, and while lying awake in bed, I race against time to develop my speech sense.

The preliminary round was held in early November. From more than 3,000 contestants across the country, 100 were selected to participate in the regional semi-finals.

Cheng Xiaoyue lived up to expectations and entered the semi-finals.

In January, 30 contestants selected from the region rushed to Beijing to participate in the finals.

Cheng Shu asked for leave to accompany her. Even on the plane, Cheng Xiaoyue wore headphones and listened to the British accent all the way.

During the two days of the finals, Cheng Xiaoyue fought through all the obstacles and finally won a second prize. Her hard work finally paid off.

The flight back to Jiangcheng was in the afternoon of the third day.

Cheng Xiaoyue was extremely busy during this period. She was practicing and preparing for the competition while reviewing the senior high school courses. She always stayed up until two or three o'clock every day before going to bed.

It was rare to relax during the two hours on the plane. She lowered her eyelids to clear her mind, and fell asleep in a daze not long after.

When I woke up, the plane had just landed.

The roar of the engine gradually became clearer, shaking the eardrums. When the plane slid smoothly for a distance and stopped, the familiar southern winter night was already outside the window, with stars shining in the dark night.

Cheng Shu answered the phone and immediately took the fascinated little girl off the plane.

Cheng Xiaoyue could not open her eyelids a little, so she followed him step by step, stepping on his heels from time to time.

Cheng Shu, who knelt down to pick at the heel of his shoe for the third time, finally couldn't help himself. He pushed away Cheng Xiaoyue, who was about to step on him again, and asked with a slight frown,

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Cheng Xiaoyue let out a long yawn. , replied speechlessly,

"How can I sleep well? Ever since you advised me to resort to suicide, I have become the 57th ethnic group in the country - the sleepless tribe."

Cheng Shu glanced at the gray under her eyes. , feeling distressed and a little helpless,

"I'm letting you self-recruit in the hope that you can get into a good university more easily, and I'm not forcing you to risk your life like this."

Cheng Xiaoyue curled her lips, supported her groggy head, and if there was any He nodded thoughtfully,

"So as the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old people, you will live a few more years."

Cheng Shu: "???"

Cheng Shu: "..."

He was speechless for a moment and could only blow on his beard. Staring, there is nothing you can do against this little rebel.

People were coming and going in the airport entrance hall, and soon, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the parking lot.

Cheng Shu saw that he had reinforcements coming, and quickly waved,

"Here!"

His suddenly raised voice made Cheng Xiaoyue subconsciously glance in the direction of his wave.

However, with such a casual glance, she was suddenly stunned.

The airport hall is brightly lit, reflecting on the marble floor like a gurgling river of stars. And Jiang Jianchuan stepped on this galaxy and walked towards them.

He was still wearing a long windbreaker today, with a black turtleneck sweater underneath. His whole person had a cool and extraordinary temperament. Just by virtue of this aura, he inadvertently exudes a sense of laziness and wealth.

The eyes from all around were looking at him with seeming disbelief. Jiang Jianchuan walked straight towards the Cheng brothers and sisters without squinting.

Cheng Xiaoyue was still stunned when the man walked up to her and looked at her with lowered eyes.

She blinked slowly and finally came to her senses. Then with a very awkward emotion, she called out in a low voice,

"Brother."

During this period, she went out early and came back late. She had no chance to see him. At most, she just had a quick phone call. Face to face. So much so that as time went by, she almost forgot about that awkward crush.

Jiang Jianchuan responded, turned to talk to Cheng Shu, but his hand naturally stretched out, caught her schoolbag, and carried it easily in his hand.

Now that Cheng Xiaoyue had a clear line with him, she naturally couldn't let him help her get something. She immediately chased after her to take it back, but Jiang Jianchuan suddenly stuffed a warm paper bag into her arms and said in a casual and normal tone,

"Help brother get it." "Hold on, don't eat secretly."

Cheng Xiaoyue was stunned, and before she could react, there was a pack of warm paper bags in her arms.

She sniffed and smelled the familiar crispy aroma. She immediately lowered her head to look. Sure enough, it contained her favorite puffs.

Just as he was stunned, he heard Cheng Shu sneer, and he laughed at Jiang Michuan leisurely from the front,

"You let her take it, and you also emphasized not to eat it secretly. I think you can keep an empty bag later." Not bad."

When Cheng Xiaoyue heard this, she didn't even do anything, and the bucket of shit was already placed on her head.

He immediately snorted in displeasure, and when the two of them weren't paying attention, he immediately stuffed a puff into his mouth. The main one couldn't get scolded in vain.

The freshly baked puffs are crispy and delicious on the outside and creamy on the inside. They are fragrant and warm when bitten in the mouth, which warms the stomach and lowers people's alertness.

Jiang Michuan is also true (chew, chew, chew), is she so untrustworthy (take another bite), and even mention it specially (chew, chew, chew), she will be angry if she does this in the future (swallow)!

Cheng Xiaoyue was squirming like a little hamster and was eating with a mouth full of sweetness. Suddenly, she heard Jiang Michuan lazily say,

"It's hard to buy chocolate puffs in this store. I also queued for two hours to buy them." How many?"

Cheng Xiaoyue paused with her mouth full of puffs, looked down at the bag suspiciously, chewed uncertainly, and interrupted him carefully,

"Did you buy the wrong one? "What?"

Cheng Shu: "?"

Cheng Shu: "..."

The two of them were silent at the same time.

Cheng Shu was silent for a few seconds, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled tonelessly,

"Your 99 pounds of back bone really didn't grow in vain!"

Cheng Xiaoyue snorted, thinking that they would have been discovered anyway, so she simply stuffed another bubble into her mouth. Fu, eat it openly and show it to them.

From an angle that she didn't notice, Jiang Michuan curled his lips, seemingly helpless, but yet so at ease, as if everything was under his control.
