When the game started, the contestants came to the studio, stood in their assigned positions, and lined up in an arc.

The spotlight poured down from the top of the head, and the host stood on the stage, adjusting the microphone equipment, and preparing for the start of the game.

Huo Yan looked up at the auditorium. Her friends were sitting in the first row. Su Wan and Lin Chuyu waved at her vigorously: "Come on!"

"Come on smoke and smoke!"

"Take first, take first!"

Under the strong light of the studio, Fu Shihan's handsome profile looked even more radiant and moving. He lowered his dark pupils and stared at her calmly,

Being watched by him like this, Huo Yan's heart was full of energy, he wanted to work hard to the end, he wanted to win the championship title for him to see, let him know, compared to the so-called heavenly people present The proud son, she, Huo Yan, is not bad at all.

It can be done!

The competition is held in the form of a group arena. Before the start of the competition, the contestants will each draw lots to determine a contestant who will stand in the middle of the arena and challenge other contestants in turn.

If he wins, the prize won will be doubled. If he fails, the player who beat him will stand in the position of the champion and continue the game.

According to Fu Shihan's plan, as long as Huo Yan doesn't get the position of the ringleader, he should be able to stand all the way to the back.

At the end of the lottery, Huo Yan did not get the champion. Coincidentally, Qi Yun won the lottery and became the champion of the ring. She challenged the other nine contestants in turn.

Seeing this situation, the other contestants felt a little uneasy. Qi Yun was at the top of the list. In the previous rehearsals and preliminaries, she had never been ranked outside the top three. Finally.

Qi Yun stood in the middle of the stage, her graceful light apricot cheongsam outlined her tall and slender figure, which had a very classical charm.

Before the official competition, the host will let the audience understand the characters and past experiences of the contestants through interesting chats. Qi Yun opened his mouth with a series of poems and songs, calling himself a classical talented woman.

Next, let's get back to business, and Qi Yun will choose the first player to challenge.

Qi Yun's smiling eyes swept across the nine contestants facing each other one by one. The contestants were beating their hearts, hoping that he and she would not choose her, and no one wanted to be the first to leave the stage.

After going around in a circle, Qi Yun's eyes fell on Huo Yan.

Huo Yan keenly felt the contempt and hostility in her eyes.

"The first contestant I want to challenge is Huo Yan."

As soon as this remark came out, Shen Yuran stood up from his seat and looked at Fu Shihan with a face full of surprise: "Mr. Han, why is this happening? It doesn't mean that you won't be the first to be selected..."

"sit down."

Fu Shihan's voice was calm, and he looked at Huo Yan with worry in his eyes.

The contestants at the scene were equally astonished, they never thought that Qi Yun would be the first to choose to challenge Huo Yan.

This is clearly the weakest player in the game.

Could it be that Qi Yun was afraid of being eliminated, so she wanted to choose a weak one to protect herself, but that's not right, how could a proud girl like Qi Yun shrink back because of timidity.

At this moment, Qi Yun raised his jaw and looked at Huo Yan, his eyes full of disdain.

Although Huo Yan was equally surprised, he quickly calmed down. Although Qi Yun said at the beginning that he would not choose her, the situation on the scene was unpredictable, and she didn't know Qi Yun's temperament very well, so it is possible to change her mind temporarily.

They come, the security.

Huo Yan slowly walked down from her seat, came to the arena, and stood facing Qi Yun.

Although Qi Yun had a smile on his face, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Student Huo Yan and I are best friends in private, and I am also looking forward to playing against her, so I chose her." .”

Huo Yan smiled politely at her: "I am also very happy to play against Sister Qi Yun."

"I have always admired Huo Yan. She usually looks soft and weak, but she can stand out from thousands of people and walk on the stage of the finals. She must have unfathomable strength, so Huo Yan Classmate Yan, you must be merciful, don't let me lose too badly."

These words made the contestants sneer, and Huo Yan could naturally hear the irony in her words.

But facing the camera, Qi Yun still has to do enough superficial work, after all, there are countless viewers sitting in front of the TV.

The host said that Goddess Qi Yun is really too modest.

Lin Chuyu said indignantly, "Hypocrisy."

Su Wan: "I can get a twin lotus with someone's sister."

Huo Yan is not very good at this kind of oblique verbal fight on stage, so he simply said frankly: "I will show mercy."

Several contestants around couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Compared with Qi Yun's false modesty, Huo Yan's expression was serious, and his tone was quite calm, without any sense of arrogance, let alone the slightest affectation, and instantly won the favor of many audiences present.

"I can't tell, she still has some cold humor."

"I always thought this kid was so cute."

"Oh, I hope she won't be hanged and beaten."

"Qi Yun is humble on the surface, but in fact he is very strong, worried."

Huo Yan didn't play cards according to common sense at all. Qi Yun was blocked by her and couldn't speak. She was sulking in her heart, and she only hoped that the game would start soon. She wanted to hang her hard. This bad breath.

A girl like Huo Yan is not qualified to stand on this stage after relying on a man to get ahead all the way to the present. This is an insult to her, Qi Yun.

Thinking of Fu Shihan, Qi Yun felt even more oppressed. How could he be so blind? Could it be that boys nowadays like this kind of weak, incompetent girls, and excellent girls stand in front of him, He couldn't see it at all.

In any case, today Qi Yun made up his mind to teach Huo Yan a lesson.

The competition officially started, and the round-robin competition system is still adopted. Each person has a question and has a chance to ask relatives and friends on the spot for help.

The difficulty of the questions went from shallow to deep. At the beginning, both of them were able to answer the questions relatively easily, but as the difficulty increased, the rhythm gradually became tense.

Sometimes it takes several seconds to think before answering, both of them are like this, the situation was once dangerous.

Gradually, Qi Yun became a little irritable, and Huo Yan was like a piece of dog skin plaster, chasing after her, not giving her any room to breathe.

Something's wrong, she shouldn't be so strong, she's obviously... very weak!

Only then did Qi Yun raise her head to look at Huo Yan. She looked straight ahead, frowned slightly, and listened intently to the topic read by the host, for fear of missing a single word.

Such a concentrated appearance is completely different from the usual weak and deceitful appearance.

Now she exudes a stable aura all over her body.

Qi Yun was a little panicked.

"Which country was the first to enter the Bronze Age?"

Huo Yan said without thinking, "Arab Syria."

"Who is the family status of the plum wife and the crane child?"

Qi Yun: "Lin Hejing."

"Where was the Christmas carol 'Silent Night' born?"

Huo Yan: "Austria."

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had already put together more than 20 questions, and Qi Yun became more and more anxious, while Huo Yan became calmer and calmer, without the nervousness he felt when he first came to the stage.

During the interval between answering questions, she did not forget to raise her head and cast a reassuring look at Fu Shihan.

no problem.

The corners of Fu Shihan's mouth slightly raised. At this moment, his heart and eyes were all about her.

Under the bright spotlight, the girl's skin is white and smooth, but with a little makeup, she looks very capable and full of energy.

There was a light shining in her dark eyes, which she had never seen before.

So confident, so determined.

It's so beautiful.

Fu Shihan suddenly laughed easily. He had really... underestimated this little girl before, and her painstaking efforts paid off. Every drop of sweat and every effort she put in would never go to waste.

Without relying on any strategy, Huo Yan has the strength to win the championship!

And Huo Yan on the field naturally didn't know Fu Shihan's heart throbbing, she devoted all her attention to answering the questions.

"Which was the first spacecraft to fly out of the solar system?"

Huo Yan: "Pioneer 10."

"What do the three letters "R, S, F" on the battery stand for?"

Qi Yun suddenly got stuck.

She is known as a classically gifted woman, and she has a full grasp of historical and cultural topics, but it is obviously more difficult to deal with engineering topics.

"Is it the shape of the battery... the shape?"

Moderator: "The answer is correct."

Qi Yun heaved a sigh of relief, but the contestants present were sweating. Qi Yun was obviously at the end of his battle, but seeing Huo Yan, calm and composed, not a drop of sweat fell from his forehead, it was very relaxing.

It seems that all the previous showings of weakness were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

"Where does the allusion of comeback come from?"

Huo Yan: "Xie An."

"In the Chinese character system of a microcomputer, how many bytes does the internal code of a Chinese character occupy?"

Huo Yan suddenly clenched her fists. Liberal arts subjects were her weakness, but this question hit her right in the face. It is the common sense that every computer student should know.

It would be great if she could answer.

However, it was Qi Yun who asked.

Qi Yun frowned.

Time passed by, and she fell into long-term thinking, and it seemed difficult to answer.

Huo Yan's heart started beating, bang bang, bang bang...

Qi Yun's face was purple. In fact, she still had a chance to ask the audience for help, but it was useless for her to hold on until the last moment.

A girl as proud as her would not easily ask others for help, especially her opponent, Huo Yan who was despised by everyone.

With the sound of a lengthy "di", Qi Yun's answering time ended.

The contestants were completely silent. The result was so unexpected that no one could have imagined that Qi Yun, who was so strong in the rehearsal preliminaries, would be defeated by the weakest contestant.

Qi Yun looked at Huo Yan bitterly, with humiliation and unwillingness written all over his face. However, in this game, if you lose, you lose. Both sides have already answered thirty or forty questions. Obviously it is not because of bad luck or The other reason is that Qi Yun's skills are not as good as others.

It was difficult for Qi Yun to accept this result. When he finished, he kept his face sullen and didn't say a word, as if he didn't care about maintaining his image in front of the TV.

The result of being eliminated in the first game was enough to make her a laughing stock in front of her friends for a long time.

After all, she is the one who swears that she will win the championship.

The exciting music sounded, now Huo Yan should stand in the position of the champion and challenge the other contestants one by one.

This result is very different from the strategy Fu Shihan planned for her before.

Standing in the middle of the stage at this moment, all the spotlights and cameras are on her alone. Although she will feel uneasy, she is no longer afraid.

She knew that Fu Shihan was right behind her, looking at her intently with those burning eyes.

Wherever he is, there is peace of mind.

Next, Huo Yan challenged the remaining contestants in turn.

When she was rehearsing the preliminaries, she had observed these contestants quietly. Some of them were impatient, some were calm, and some were still unable to perform at their best because they were too nervous.

The so-called know yourself and know the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. When Huo Yan chose his opponent, he went from weak to strong, and gradually advanced in difficulty. He played steadily and made it to the end.

The prizes have now piled up like a mountain, including smartphones, tablet computers, vr glasses, massage chairs, and refrigerators... When the competition reached the end with three contestants left, the host asked Huo Yan if he wanted to end the competition.

Because when the game ends at this time, she can leave with the prizes she has already won. If she continues to compete and loses to the players behind, all the prizes she has accumulated will be handed over to others.

Generally speaking, with so many prizes, smart players will choose to give up.

There is actually no shame in giving up here, earning prizes and honors.

Of course, Huo Yan hesitated for a while, and looked back at Fu Shihan again, hoping to get some information from his gaze.

Fu Shihan raised the corners of his eyes and smiled at her faintly, with a certain kind of deep light in his eyes.

Huo Yan understood that no matter what decision she made, Fu Shihan would support and trust her.

"I choose to continue."

The audience couldn't help applauding her, and the remaining players also felt the heavy pressure.

Since the tea party, this weak girl who doesn't like to talk is not a threat to them. Her past resume is blank, she has no honors or awards, and she can't even get in the middle of the discussion.

If you say she is excellent, she is definitely not.

But Huo Yan, who was standing in front of them at the moment, with those calm and calm black eyes, made people feel cold for no reason, and it was impossible to see how much strength she was hiding.

Two more players were PKed by Huo Yan. Huo Yan left Dong Sibo at the end, firstly because he was really strong and a popular candidate to win the championship, and secondly because...he was one of the few players among them Those who showed kindness to Huo Yan.

It is understandable that Huo Yan left him at the end.

Dong Sibo wears a pair of thin black-rimmed eyes and a decent white shirt and black suit. He looks delicate and refined, he speaks politely and yet is funny, knowledgeable and well-spoken. He is the kind of boy that girls like very much. .

"So you are a dark horse." He looked at her without any concealment: "You are still a beautiful dark horse."

Huo Yan looked down at her black dress. This dress was chosen by Fu Shihan for her. The close-fitting lines outlined her smooth waist. There was a fluffy bow tie on the back, which intuitively reflected someone's taste for straight men.

"Thank you." She didn't know what to say, so she had to respond like this.

Dong Sibo smiled confidently: "I won't show mercy just because you are a beautiful girl."

Huo Yan's eyes were pure, and his voice was sincere, "I won't let you in on purpose just because you are a smart boy."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience at the scene laughed heartily. Dong Sibo praised Huo Yan for being beautiful, and Huo Yan responded with a clever sentence, which reflected her bearing and self-confidence, and indirectly implied that all boys should not just look at girls. Look at the appearance.

Shen Yuran raised her eyebrows and said, "I haven't noticed it on weekdays, but the little girl is really good at movies."

The corner of Fu Shihan's mouth raised slightly, and he snorted lightly: "Don't look at who trained them."

When he said this, Shen Yuran recalled the fierce battles just now, Huo Yan was fearless in the face of danger on the stage, and his appearance of killing gods and Buddhas really had a bit of Fu Shihan's cold temperament.

They are a couple who grew up together. When Huo Yan was still a blank sheet of paper, he would follow Fu Shihan's example.

With the rapid and tense music sounding, the final duel between Huo Yan and Dong Sibo kicked off.

Lin Chuyu and Su Wan were sweating for Huo Yan at the same time. As long as she defeats Dong Sibo, she will become the overall champion of this year's "Brainstorm" competition, and the fame and honor that will come with it is unimaginable. !

Lin Chuyu squeezed Su Wan's hand: "So nervous, so nervous, tell me, will Yanyan win?"

Su Wan pretended to be calm and said: "I think it's okay, she has been very stable in the first few games."

Lin Chuyu looked back at Fu Shihan: "I don't think President Han seems worried at all."

Su Guan glanced at Fu Shihan, his iceberg face of ten thousand years was always so clear, as if the sky had nothing to do with him.

However, no one knew that Fu Shihan's palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat.

He has experienced many competitions in the past, big and small, but he has never been so nervous.

Caring is messy.

The random answers on the stage have consumed more than 20 questions. At present, both of them are relatively stable, and there is no pause or hesitation.

It seems that the two of them are indeed rivals in chess, and they are on the bar.

As the time went on, the difficulty of the questions gradually increased, and the speed of the two people's answering gradually slowed down. There were several questions that Huo Yan paused for a few seconds, and there was a lot of danger. Of course, Dong Sibo's condition was not much better, he began to feel a little anxious, and his face was not as confident as before.

"What is the longest mountain range in the world?"

Dong Sibo: "The Andes."

"Who is the composer of the Internationale?"

Huo Yan: "Bill Deggett"

"What is the application protocol for connecting mobile communication devices to the Internet?"

Dong Sibo: …

He suddenly stuck.

Shen Yuran said to Fu Shihan in a low voice: "No way, he doesn't even know such a simple topic."

Fu Shihan said indifferently: "There is a specialization in surgery. It's not normal for him to forget his major and just miss it."

Dong Sibo seemed to really not know the answer to this question. Seeing that the 15-second countdown was about to pass, Lin Chuyu was ready to cheer for Huo Yan, but Dong Sibo suddenly said: "I want to use The right to appeal to the live audience."

Lin Chuyu was instantly discouraged: "I thought Yanyan was going to win."

Su Wan said: "Everyone has a chance to ask for help. If he uses it this time, it will be gone. For the smoker, it won't work once. It's safe."

Lin Chuyu: "I just hope that the audience can't answer correctly."

The game was suspended, and the host asked Dong Sibo to choose an audience member to answer this question.

Dong Sibo looked around the scene, and finally settled behind Huo Yan. Everyone was guessing, could it be that he was asking for help from relatives and friends in Huo Yan's camp

Sure enough, Dong Sibo pointed at the man sitting in the first row.

Fu Shihan.

Even Shen Yuran opened his mouth wide now, in disbelief.

The audience Dong Sibo asked for help turned out to be Fu Shihan, and it's not like he didn't see the relationship between Fu Shihan and Huo Yan in the background just now...

Fu Shihan stood up slowly, with smooth brows and deep eyes, but he didn't show any surprise.

The host reminded Dong Sibo: "The audience sitting in this row are all Huo Yan's classmates. They accompanied her to participate in the competition. Are you sure...you want to choose him?"

Dong Sibo stared into Fu Shihan's eyes, showing a slight smile: "I'm sure, Huo Yan's major is computer information. I believe this question should be easy for her classmates."

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding audience suddenly realized that they really knew themselves and the enemy. This question might not be answered by others, but Huo Yan and her classmates would definitely be able to answer it.

"I've heard for a long time that Fu Shihan, the chairman of the student union of S University, is upright and upright. He shouldn't help me answer this question wrong." Dong Sibo asked this deliberately.

"Be upright and upright."

Fu Shihan smiled lightly, with a hint of joking and joking in his tone: "You know me so well, haven't you heard that Fu Shihan himself is extremely defensive, and he is not what you call an honest gentleman."

"From what you mean, you want to help her or not me, so you can't answer this question?"

Fu Shihan raised his eyebrows: "I'm sorry, I brought up this little girl, and I will do my best to get what she wants..."

"Brother Han." Huo Yan suddenly interrupted Fu Shihan's words: "If you know, please answer for him."

Fu Shihan stared at Huo Yan, her beautiful almond eyes were clear and clean, shining with confidence.

It's been like this since she was a child, there is a stubbornness in this girl's bones.

Fu Shihan shook his head as if he was having a headache. She wanted to be upright and upright, so Fu Shihan naturally wanted to help her.

He said in a steady voice: "The application protocol for connecting mobile communication devices to the Internet is WAP."

The host said: "The answer is correct, Dong Sibo is safe for the time being, and the round of answers will continue."

Huo Yan and Dong Sibo fell into a fierce battle again.

"Which organ makes blood"

Huo Yan: "Red bone marrow."

"What is called the 'Seventh Art'?"

Dong Sibo: "Movie."

"What principle is often used to pruning fruit trees in horticulture"

Huo Yan: ...

The answer is clear, but I don't know why, but I just can't remember it.

She must have seen this question before, probably when she was preparing for the preliminary round and was exchanging questions and answers with Fu Shihan. Because the time was too long, her mind was stuck for a while.

Huo Yan looked back at Fu Shihan.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and Fu Shihan's hand holding the guardrail couldn't help but clenched a lot.

"Top advantage." He said silently in his heart: "Top advantage."

Huo Yan closed his eyes, frowned tightly, and fell into deep thought.

As the countdown counted down second by second, Dong Sibo's blood began to boil, and he was about to win! As long as Huo Yan doesn't choose to use the last chance to ask for help, he will win!

However, when the "ding" sounded at the last second of the fifteen-second countdown, Huo Yan suddenly opened his eyes and said crisply: "Top advantage."

"correct answer."

The host said: "Continue to answer the questions."

Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his fighting state.

After Dong Sibo experienced this period of ups and downs, it was obvious that he was a little weak and mentally weak.

"In 1970, Dr. Hawking realized and successfully proved?"

Dong Sibo: "The Black Hole Boundary Theorem."

"Which of the following vitamins can be converted into calcium when exposed to sunlight"

Huo Yan: "VD."

"There is usually a pair of lions outside the gate of the palace. According to the orientation of the building, the lions outside the ancient palace are generally of the same gender?"

The corner of Dong Sibo's mouth raised slightly, and he said quite confidently: "I happened to see this question just before going on stage, so the answer should be male and female."

As soon as he finished answering, Huo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her sudden relief, Dong Sibo didn't know why, until the host said: "Dong Sibo, I'm sorry, you answered wrong."

"How...how is it possible." Dong Sibo's face was full of astonishment: "Left male and right male, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Huo Yan said loudly: "The placement of stone lions in ancient palaces must conform to the traditional Chinese philosophy of yin and yang: male left and female right. The male lion on the left is playing with a hydrangea ball with its right paw. , you probably misremembered."

Only then did Dong Sibo come back to his senses, thinking that he really had such a thing, he forgot.

The relatives and friends behind him sighed, and in the studio, the grand victory march sounded, and the host announced loudly that the winner of this year's "Brainstorm" college league championship was Huo Yan from S University.

And she is not only the overall champion this year, but also the only champion who stood on the main stage of "Brainstorm" and defeated nine contestants in a row since the broadcast of "Brainstorm".

It is already quite remarkable for the previous champion to have a record of defeating five people. Huo Yan even single-handedly defeated all the outstanding students from famous schools all over the world.

This is definitely not luck, no one can do this without strong strength.

Huo Yan set a new record.

Lin Chuyu and Su Guan screamed like crazy, took out their phones and kept taking pictures of Huo Yan.

The few contestants who were defeated by her in the background were quite unbelievable. They were clearly the weakest contestants. How did they become the championship all of a sudden

"Dong Sibo, what's going on, why did you lose to her?"

Dong Sibo, who had just stepped down from the stage, was still a little dazed, took off his glasses and wiped them, and looked at Huo Yan on the field again.

On the stage, under the spotlight, her delicate little face was tense and serious. Even after winning the championship, she was not overjoyed and maintained her usual calm demeanor.

It is not easy for young people to have such a mind.

Dong Sibo said: "She is very strong, but I am not as skilled as others, and I am convinced that I lost today."

Now that Dong Sibo has said this, it is natural for others to say nothing.

Qi Yun, who was the first to step off the stage, showed displeasure on his face, clutching the corner of his skirt tightly with his hands, very unwilling, but helpless.

Today's victory has been decided, and she has lost completely.

The host was obviously very excited, handed the golden championship trophy to Huo Yan, and asked her to say a few words.

Watching the camera slowly advance, Huo Yan could not say anything that Huo Yan had prepared before, such as thanking her parents. Amidst the cheers of the crowd, she slowly turned her head and looked at Fu Shihan among the crowd.

He stood motionless, staring at her deeply, a smile slowly climbed to the corner of his eyes, and the tear mole settled at the end of his peach blossom eyes, burning and moving.

He raised his slender and beautiful hands and applauded her, again and again.

Loud music and everyone's cheers filled his ears, but the rhythm of Huo Yan's heart was beating along with Fu Shihan's applause from beginning to end.

At that moment, the Milky Way and stars all over the sky seemed to be in his dark eyes.

Huo Yan, who was holding a microphone, couldn't help calling out the first sentence——

"Fu Shihan."
