The host looked at the two people who were ready and chuckled, saying, "The first question of this round is a currency chain game. Those who answer correctly will get extra points, and those who answer incorrectly will not get extra points."
Each person has only five seconds to answer the question.
The system picked out the person who answered the question first between the two people. When the host asked the system to pick the person, Cheng Zheng suddenly raised his hand. The host glanced at him and said with a smile: "Cheng Zheng, what do you want to say?"
"I want to give Lin Xi the chance to answer the question first, lady first."
Cheng Zheng was wearing a pair of glasses. Because the heating was on high and there were so many lights on, he only wore a thin sweater. He looked fresh and clean, and all the girls present couldn't help but have a good impression of him.
The host didn't expect Cheng Zheng to say that. She was stunned for a moment, first looking at Lin Xi, and then when the director told her directly in the headset that it was okay, the host smiled and said, "Thank you Cheng Zheng for showing us what gentleman spirit is."
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, Lin Xi also raised her hand, and the host quickly asked her to speak.
Lin Xi looked at Cheng Zheng seriously: "First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer the question first, but I think since we are standing here, it doesn't matter whether we are boys or girls. We are all contestants standing here."
"Players should compete fairly."
Xie Ang, who was standing by, said "Fuck it" and shouted excitedly, "Lin Xi, don't do that. Go head-on with him."
The girl on the stage had her long hair loosely draped over her shoulders.
At this moment, she appeared on the big screen, and everyone could clearly see the expression on her face, firm and confident.
The host was stunned again, but after a moment, she smiled and said, "Since Lin Xi is so confident, let the system choose the first person to answer the question."
A moment later, the screen behind Cheng Zheng lit up.
He answered the questions first.
When the question-answering session began, a banknote appeared on the screen. Cheng Zheng took a look and said, "Britain."
Cheng Zheng answered correctly, and the screen in front of him flipped immediately, and his score increased.
Then another banknote appeared, and everyone watched Lin Xi answer the word "Japan" in one second.
"Australia."
"Saudi."
"Mongolia."
"Egypt."
…
"Algeria."
Both of them answered calmly and quickly without any hesitation.
The two people on the stage were fighting back and forth, neither giving in at all, and the people below were looking up nervously.
Even after they had answered all twenty questions, no one showed any signs of making any mistakes.
"How can they remember them all?" Chu Xixi asked in a low voice. She knew some of the currencies listed above, such as the US dollar and the British pound, but who could remember those of Algeria and Saudi Arabia
Xiao Fangyu nodded: "That's amazing, and they answered so quickly."
There was a tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, and neither of them would give in.
After a while, the number of questions they answered quickly soared to forty. Not to mention the audience, even the program crew was about to collapse.
After Lin Xi finished answering again, the next currency did not appear on the big screen. The audience immediately started buzzing with discussion.
Chen Mo frowned, hummed, and turned to look at Ji Junxing: "What's going on?"
Ji Junxing kept staring at Lin Xi on the stage with a calm and composed expression.
The host smiled and said to the audience, "Our currency chain question bank was a big hit. The two contestants answered all the questions correctly."
In fact, the program team has definitely made sufficient preparations for this question.
But I never expected that the two of them could perform like this. They took turns answering questions and directly filled up the question bank.
After the host finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
Ji Junxing looked at the little girl on the stage who always had a determined expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Give a faint smile.
As expected, the final round of the championship battle entered a fierce competition from the first round. The two contestants were like human computers. As soon as the question came out, they searched in their minds and quickly gave the correct answer.
Half an hour later, the scores of the two players rose alternately, but the winner was still undecided.
The program team decided to suspend the recording and let the two of them take a rest.
Afterwards, Lin Xi entered the waiting room as arranged by the program. The staff asked her if she wanted to drink water. Lin Xi shook her head slightly, and soon the makeup artist came over to touch up her makeup.
After finishing her makeup, Lin Xi said she wanted to be quiet for a while.
Everyone left the lounge, leaving her alone.
Lin Xi sat alone on the sofa, covering her face with her hands, her brain seemed to be running like a machine. She had really prepared carefully for all these days.
Until the sound of the door being pushed open gently, Lin Xi pressed her cheeks hard with both hands.
Then he gently let go of his hand, looked up and asked, "Is it time?"
She thought the time was up and the staff came to urge her to go on stage.
But when she saw Ji Junxing appear at the door, her calm face showed an indescribable surprise. She thought that non-staff members could not easily enter and exit the backstage.
"You, why are you here?" Lin Xi stood up, but her feet went weak and she almost fell down.
Ji Junxing stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. Lin Xi clutched his clothes tightly and breathed in a weak breath.
Ji Junxing frowned and looked at her: "Are you okay?"
Lin Xi chuckled and said, "I'm not used to wearing high heels."
She had been wearing high heels on the stage, but she had been so nervous before that she didn't feel anything. The moment she saw him just now, the tense state in her heart seemed to relax all of a sudden.
My feet felt weak.
She leaned into him, her arms around his waist.
He is no longer the thin and skinny boy. Now he has broad and straight shoulders, and even his back is stronger than before, making people feel that he can be relied on more.
"How is it?" he asked softly.
Lin Xi looked up at him, suddenly chuckled, and said softly: "I said, you are not allowed to laugh at me."
"Yeah." He nodded lightly, as a sign of agreement.
Lin Xi blushed and said, "Actually, I was very nervous on stage. I felt like my calves could cramp at any time."
In fact, before going on stage, she kept giving herself psychological hints, but she was just very nervous.
When she tapped the buzzer before, her hands were shaking slightly.
Ji Junxing looked down at her, reached out and hugged her, his arms tightly hugged Lin Xi. She raised her head, and the next second he lowered his head and pressed down directly, sealing her lips, and his tongue went straight in, entwining her.
He sucked her lips hard, forcefully yet soothingly.
Lin Xiwei endured this strong and hot kiss and slowly closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he gently let her go and stroked the back of her head. He lowered his head and looked down at her. The girl's cheeks were flushed and her dark eyes were bright and clear.
"Lin Xi, it's normal to be nervous and afraid. We are human beings, not machines. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, you have already taken a big step. Just take the last small step bravely and move forward. I will always watch over you."
Watch you win.
Lin Xi looked up at him, her eyes firm and determined.
She had come this far, all she had to do was keep moving forward.
If we were to say that the most talked-about thing about this competition was the peak showdown between Lin Xi and Cheng Zheng, the two seemed to have exerted their potential to the maximum, biting at each other's questions, neither of them conceded defeat.
Until the end, Lin Xi tied the score.
The championship fight between the two has lasted for more than an hour.
The host looked at the two of them and said seriously, "After discussion with the director team, in order to determine the final champion, there will be an additional question. This one question will determine the winner."
The host said, "You two, are you ready?"
They both nodded.
When the host slowly announced the question, neither of them pressed the buzzer until the memory question appeared completely on the big screen. The audience looked at them and stared at the buzzers in front of them to see who could answer the question first.
Until there was a bang, accompanied by the sound of the buzzer, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Xi on the field.
When she slowly said the answer, the host said solemnly: "Now let's look at the big screen to see if Lin Xi's answer is the final correct answer."
Then the answer appeared on the screen little by little.
Until everyone saw the answer to this question, cheers and applause broke out instantly.
"Congratulations to Lin Xi for becoming the champion of Tsinghua University."
The host's voice rang out, and the entire stage was sprinkled with golden fragments, falling down one after another.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the audience. When she found Ji Junxing, she looked at him, and he stared at her with a smile.
They both smiled at the same time.
Afterwards, the host asked Lin Xi to stand in the center of the stage, and Cheng Zheng took the initiative to come over and shake hands with her.
After he left the stage, the host handed the microphone to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi looked around the audience. There were so many eyes looking at her. Some were applauding her, and some were cheering for her. But now, she no longer felt that uneasy feeling.
She clenched the microphone slightly and said softly: "I used to be afraid of standing in front of people, afraid of other people's eyes. I knew the questions, but I never took the initiative to answer when the teacher asked questions. Maybe many people would say, I am the same, it doesn't matter, we are just shy. Until one day, I gave up the most important thing to me, and then I asked myself, should I keep avoiding and feeling inferior like this?"
"I want to step out of my own comfort zone and explore those less safe areas. Maybe I will fail, be laughed at, and not understand anything. But what does it matter? Isn't life just one attempt after another?"
Her words touched the hearts of so many people present.
Many people are afraid of disappointment and dare not take a step forward. However, if they take a step forward, even a small step, they may be able to see more different scenery.
Because the championship battle between the last two players was so exciting, this match was discussed again in the Tsinghua forum even though it had not been broadcast on TV yet.
Of course, some people also said disdainfully that it was just an educational program and they just didn't participate in it.
As a result, this answer was criticized by many people.
One of the replies was liked by countless people.
"Yes, you didn't participate, so Lin Xi won the championship. But why didn't you participate? Because you were afraid of appearing in front of people, afraid of other people's eyes on you, or afraid of disappointment, afraid that you would not even pass the preliminary test, or pass the preliminary test and enter the quarterfinals, and you would be eliminated in the first round. It was because of these worries that you didn't participate, and I didn't participate either. But just based on this point, Lin Xi has already won over most people, because she is brave and she is not afraid of losing."
While the discussion was still going on on the forum, Lin Xi had already started preparing for the final exam.
Perhaps glory is worth being happy and excited about, but without this excitement, there are still more challenges in life. She climbed to the top of a mountain, admired the scenery there, and did not intend to indulge in it.
Even Xiao Fangyu, the hardest-working student in the dormitory, couldn't help but admire her.
Fortunately, the four girls in their dormitory were the kind who usually listened carefully in class. Even though Chu Qianqian had so many club activities, her academic level was not bad.
During exam week, Lin Xi occasionally had dinner with Ji Junxing.
The Computer Science College exam was coming up, and when Ji Junxing had finished all the subjects, Lin Xi still had two subjects to take.
"When do you want to go home?" Ji Junxing asked her over the phone.
Lin Xi said: "This weekend, please help me get a train ticket."
Because the Spring Festival is approaching, train and bus tickets have become scarce. Lin Xi was afraid that she would not be able to buy a ticket on the day after the exam.
In the dormitory, except Chu Qianqian who is from Beijing, the other three are from other places.
Lin Xi told him to buy one for her in Hangzhou. Ji Junxing paused and asked softly, "Are your parents staying in Hangzhou for the New Year this year?"
Lin Xi felt a little bitter in her heart. If possible, who would be willing to stay in a foreign land? Her parents had lived in the village all their lives, but when they got older, they had to leave their hometown.
But that family was convinced that Lin Yaohua had killed their son. As soon as they showed up at home, there were many people and the news spread quickly, and the family soon heard about it, so they came to cause trouble again.
There is no peace at all.
So in the past two years, Lin Yaohua and Jiang Ying have been living in Hangzhou.
"The air in Hangzhou is good and life is comfortable. They like it very much." Lin Xi said softly.
Ji Junxing didn't say anything else, and then Lin Xi hung up the phone and continued to review.
Soon the last exam was over, and the whole school was filled with students carrying their suitcases and preparing to go home. Ji Junxing agreed with Lin Xi that he would come to pick her up later. Because he drove over, he was able to send Xiao Fangyu and Ye Ke to the train station together.
Because it was almost holiday, the dormitory supervisor rarely allowed the boys to go upstairs to help the girls move things.
Ji Junxing went upstairs to help Lin Xi move the boxes, and then moved Xiao Fangyu and Ye Ke's boxes down as well.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yimian and Xie Ang were driving past here and saw Young Master Ji coming out of the dormitory building with a box. Xie Ang honked the horn.
Lin Xi turned around and saw it, then ran over with a smile.
Jiang Yimian held up his arm and looked at Ji Junxing who was moving boxes into the trunk not far away. He smiled and said, "I never thought that one day I would see Master Ji doing such hard labor."
"I feel so sorry." Xie Ang said, and the two of them echoed each other.
Lin Xi said somewhat embarrassedly: "I didn't intend for him to move."
"Move, why not move? Xie Ang also helped all the girls in our dormitory move all the boxes today." Jiang Yimian said with a smile: "This is what a boyfriend should do."
"Yes." Xie Ang nodded.
Xie Ang is now under the care of Jiang Yimian, and he is almost becoming a standard boyfriend.
Lin Xi said a few words to them and waved goodbye.
Although there was a bit of traffic on the road, when they arrived at the train station, it was still early for the two of them to get on the train. Ji Junxing took down their suitcases, and Lin Xi reached out to take her own suitcase.
Ji Junxing held her hand.
Xiao Fangyu and Ye Ke tactfully moved aside so that they could talk alone.
Lin Xi looked at him, and Ji Junxing seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I told you not to be angry."
She listened to his tone and smiled: "Didn't you get the ticket?"
Ji Junxing was silent for a while, then whispered, "I bought you a plane ticket."
…
Lin Xi looked at him with his lips pursed, feeling a little worried that she might get angry. Suddenly, she felt a little amused.
Ji Junxing, who has always been fearless, would actually show such an expression one day.
she…
Lin Xi couldn't help but reach out and hug him, whispering: "I think I was too much for you, right?"
Ji Junxing looked at her quietly, the tension on his face finally disappeared, and he hugged her gently.
So the two of them said goodbye to Ye Ke and the others, and Ji Junxing drove to the airport again. When picking up the tickets, Ji Junxing looked at her again. Seeing that he had something else to say, Lin Xi said directly, "What else do you have to say? Tell me everything."
"I bought you a first class ticket."
Lin Xi: “…”
Thanks to this first-class ticket, Lin Xi returned home so comfortably for the first time. When she arrived in Hangzhou, she called Ji Junxing as soon as she got off the plane and told him that she had gotten off the plane.
When they returned to where Jiang Ying and her family lived, even though it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Ying still made her a big bowl of noodles.
Under the light, she looked at Lin Xi and suddenly smiled, "You've become more beautiful."
Lin Yaohua was about to take the quilt to the next door, because they rented a private house with only one room. When Lin Xi was studying at Zhejiang University, she rarely stayed overnight on weekends.
Now that she is back to celebrate the New Year, she naturally cannot sleep in the same bed with her parents.
So Lin Yaohua borrowed a room from a co-worker who went back to his hometown for the New Year. When Lin Xi came back, he lived next door.
Lin Yaohua smiled proudly and said, "I went to see Lin Xi today and came back. On the way, I ran into Lao Gao and his wife. When they saw Lin Xi, they said they couldn't recognize her. She was even prettier than last year."
Although she cannot go back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, for Lin Xi, home is where her parents are.
It's enough for them to be together as a family of three.
Lin Xi stayed here, watching the number of people around her gradually decrease. Sometimes when she went to the street, she felt that there were fewer pedestrians on the street than usual. During this kind of reunion festival, many people wanted to return to their loved ones no matter how far away they were.
The conditions here are worse than those in my hometown, after all, the place is small.
However, Jiang Ying still found someone to stuff the sausages and hung them on the clothesline outside. Lin Xi sat under the window, reading a book while watching the sausages, fearing that they would be stolen.
On the 30th, Lin Xi's phone kept receiving text messages.
Even Wen Xuan called her, and Ji Luchi asked her somewhat unhappily when she would return to Beijing.
Ji Junxing answered the phone under his mother's forced pull.
When he held the phone, Wen Xuan looked at him and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Are you too embarrassed to call Lin Xi in front of us?"
Ji Junxing ignored her muttering and walked to the side, "Happy New Year, Lin Xi."
Lin Xi was standing outside. Jiang Ying was cooking at this time. The aroma of food wafted to her nose.
"I miss you." Lin Xi said softly.
Ji Junxing's hand holding the phone tightened noticeably. She could easily touch his heart now.
He said, “I missed you, too.”
The next time Lin Xi received his call was on the second day of the Chinese New Year, because he had to accompany his parents to pay New Year's greetings on the first day. At that time, Lin Xi was reading a book, and she didn't have many relatives to visit in Hangzhou.
"Lin Xi, where is your home?" he whispered.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "You are not coming to Hangzhou, are you?"
It was not until he stood at the entrance of the alley in a black suit, braving the cold wind, that Lin Xi dared to believe that he had come to see her. She suddenly remembered that he had also appeared suddenly in the same way in her second year of high school.
Jiang Ying was washing clothes, but was stunned when she saw someone suddenly appear.
She naturally recognized Ji Junxing. When she first saw Ji Junxing at the village committee, she murmured in her heart that this child was too good-looking. His red lips and white teeth made him particularly attractive.
I haven't seen you for a few years now, and you've grown into an adult.
"Ah, you, why are you here?" Jiang Ying quickly wiped her hands with the apron in front of her.
When Ji Junxing entered the house, Lin Yaohua and Jiang Ying looked at him, feeling a little strange. Lin Xi could see that they were not natural, so when Jiang Ying poured him some water, Lin Xi simply said, "Dad, Mom, this is Ji Junxing, you all know him, right?"
Of course I know him.
Lin Xi pursed her lips slightly, "He is my boyfriend now."
"Uncle, aunt, hello." Even someone as arrogant as Master Ji couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Sure enough, Lin Yaohua and Jiang Ying both showed surprised expressions on their faces. After a long while, Jiang Ying asked softly, "Do your parents know?"
The worry on her face was so obvious.
Her family is well off. If it weren't for Lin Zheng's heart, I'm afraid their two families would never have any contact in their lives.
Now that Lin Xi is dating him, Jiang Ying is afraid that others will think that Lin Xi is trying to get rich and that others will gossip about her.
Ji Junxing was such a smart person that he could see through her worries at a glance and immediately said, "Don't worry, my parents know everything. And they like Lin Xi very much. They think Lin Xi is smart and sensible, and they especially approve of me and Lin Xi being together."
Lin Xi looked at him. It was rare to see someone with his personality speaking so sincerely.
Ji Junxing's words finally made Lin Yaohua and Jiang Ying relax a little.
Then, Jiang Ying started to prepare dinner. When she cooked seven or eight dishes, it was already dark, and Lin Xi asked her to stop cooking, otherwise they would not be able to finish the food.
Lin Yaohua was unusually happy and took out the homemade wine that a co-worker had given him.
Ji Junxing accompanied him and drank several cups.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Ji Junxing said goodbye and Lin Xi sent him to the hotel.
Lin Yaohua originally wanted to accompany her, but Jiang Ying stopped him and just said that if she came back later, she would call Lin Yaohua and ask him to pick her up.
The hotel where Ji Jun was staying was actually not far from here, and Lin Xi walked slowly with him.
There were few people during the New Year, and at 8 o'clock, the streets were even emptier. Unexpectedly, after they had walked for a while, they saw a firework blooming in the sky in the distance.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment: "I haven't seen fireworks for a long time."
Because there are policies banning fireworks everywhere, I haven’t seen them for a long time.
Ji Junxing held her hand, and the two stood there, watching the fireworks in the distance, blooming in dazzling colors in the sky. He suddenly turned around and asked, "Lin Xi, will you live here forever?"
He had thought about the life that Lin Xi's parents lived, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little bit heartbroken.
Lin Xi nodded and said, "I probably can't go back to my hometown." She looked at her wish in the distance and whispered, "My current wish is to buy a house for my parents so that they don't have to suffer from wandering anymore."
This is probably her biggest wish.
Her brother is gone, and now she is the only child in the family. She wants to take care of her parents so that they no longer have to wander around and don’t have to worry about the landlord suddenly raising the rent or renting the house to someone else one day.
After that, she turned to look at him and said, "I bought it myself."
She said it in a very serious tone, and Ji Junxing naturally knew what she meant. He laughed in anger, stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of her nose, and whispered intimately: "You think too highly of me."
A house in Hangzhou still costs over a million.
But in the end, he still held her hand and whispered, "Lin Xi, don't worry, everything will be there."
All your wishes will come true.
The author has something to say: Brother Tong was too tired last night, so I had to get up today to write this chapter. I asked for leave in advance, so I might as well write more.
