take a break

.

The two-day 18th ACM-ICPC Global Finals concluded successfully.

Although the time was short, the college students who came to participate in the competition made their own friends and forged friendships across borders.

Because Li Xuesheng is young, handsome and cute, he is widely loved by everyone.

At the farewell party held by the event organizer on the evening of the 28th, he received requests for group photos, autographs, and exchange of communication methods from time to time, as well as small gifts from many people.

Looking at Li Xuesheng surrounded by men and women of different skin colors and hair colors, Derek Alston was eager to take a photo with Li Xuesheng and exchange communication information, but because of Paul Wood's presence, Inconvenient to take action.

Finally, when the party ended and Paul Wood left, Derek Alston immediately jumped up from his seat and rushed to Li Xuesheng.

Li Xuesheng glanced at the camera in Derek Alston's hand, looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "Derek, do you want to take a photo with me too?"

Derek Alston was a little ashamed by Li Xuesheng's eyes with a narrow smile.

He turned his head slightly to avoid eye contact with the other party, and his white ears gradually turned red.

Young man, you are so young!

Li Xuesheng secretly smiled, but a trace of sadness and melancholy leaked out of his heart.

My youthful days are gone forever.

Being able to see you young and young again is a kind of consolation from God to me.

I wonder if we can still cooperate and support each other as sincerely as in the previous life, and become each other's most trusted partners.

Zhou Guangtong first took two group photos of Li Xuesheng and Derek Alston with his own camera.

Then, he used Derek Alston's camera to take a group photo of the two.

After taking the photos, Derek Alston took out the hotel stationery on which the communication method had already been written from his trouser pocket, and held it in front of Li Xuesheng with both hands.

Li Xuesheng opened the letter paper and found that Derek Alston not only left his e-mail address, Stanford University's mailing address and dormitory phone number, but also his home address and phone number in his hometown in Seattle.

Noticing that all the information of Derek Alston was exactly the same as that of his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Could it be that other people and things in this world have not changed, only Li Xiaoyu has disappeared?

If Li Xiaoyu doesn't exist, what about his relatives?

Li Xuesheng put away the letter paper, took out a piece of hotel letter paper prepared in advance with his own communication method written on it, and beckoned to Derek Alston.

Derek Alston understood, leaned forward and put his ear in front of Li Xuesheng's mouth.

"Derek, I only gave others my e-mail address, but I gave you my home address and phone number. Moreover, the e-mail address I gave to others is different from the one I gave you." Li Xuesheng whispered, "I hope You can help me keep it secret and don't leak these important contact information of mine."

When Derek Alston heard this, he was immediately elated.

Everyone wants to be the most special existence in the eyes of others, especially the person they value, and he is no exception.

"Hubert, few people know my home address and phone number, so you have to keep it secret for me."

Derek Alston whispered in Li Xuesheng's ear, with a cheerful tone of voice.

"Okay." Li Xuesheng agreed with a smile, thinking, "Of course I know your habits. You will take the initiative to tell me the contact information at home, which proves that we are very destined. Maybe, we can still be the best couple like in the last life. partner."

Derek Alston happily took the letter paper in Li Xuesheng's hand, unfolded it and read it carefully.

He has an excellent memory and quickly memorized all these contact information.

After putting away the letter paper, Derek Alston looked at Li Xuesheng with a smile and asked, "Hubert, next year, will I see you again?"

"I will not participate in this competition again." Li Xuesheng replied.

"Why?" Derek Alston asked puzzled, "Every player can participate in the global finals twice, and you still have a chance to win the championship."

"Fool, as long as I'm here, you don't want to win the championship, you still expect me to come?" Li Xuesheng thought to himself, "At the beginning, I would want to participate in this competition, mainly to come to the United States to see in advance and find someone along the way. Now, I have learned about the level of computer development in the United States, and I have found you. There is no need for me to waste time on this kind of small competition."

Li Xuesheng thought so in his heart, but he said: "I have had a competition experience, won the championship again, and made you a friend. I am already very satisfied. I have more important things to do, so I won't come Joining in the fun with you."

Derek Alston lowered his face and asked disappointedly: "Then when can we meet again?"

"Next year." Li Xuesheng encouraged, "If you win the championship, I will go to Stanford to find you and celebrate for you."

Derek Alston's eyes lit up, and a smile bloomed on his face.

"Then we made an agreement, don't forget!"

Li Xuesheng was amused by Derek Alston's childish words, and nodded heavily.

Zhou Guangtong looked at Li Xuesheng nonchalantly, feeling that the latter looked at Derek Alston with the pampering look of an elder, and felt very strange in his heart.

Having been with Li Xuesheng for half a year, Zhou Guangtong thought he knew Li Xuesheng very well.

The little "child prodigy" looks polite and gentle on the surface, but deep down he is aloof, arrogant and even a little withdrawn.

It is very difficult to enter his heart.

Zhou Guangtong has always thought highly of himself, but he is not sure whether he has a place in Li Xuesheng's heart.

However, this big American boy who had just known Li Xuesheng for less than two days seemed to be very popular with Li Xuesheng, which made Zhou Guangtong very puzzled.

He didn't understand what was so special about such an ordinary-looking, ordinary-looking, silly boy with all his emotions written on his face, which made Li Xuesheng take the initiative to make a promise to come to the United States to celebrate him.

Li Xuesheng would care about Chen Shuhua, that ignorant guy, after all, they lived together since they were young and had a relationship that lasted for more than 11 years.

However, Li Xuesheng was so nice to an American whom he had only known for two days, which made Zhou Guangtong very unbalanced.

"Stinky boy! Why do you make Xuesheng look at you with admiration?"

Zhou Guangtong looked coldly at the smirking Derek Alston, cursing angrily in his heart, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this fool was not pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Derek Alston obsequiously offering to help Li Xuesheng carry the gifts back to his room, Zhou Guangtong, who originally planned to take on this task, snorted secretly and walked away.

He has long been displeased with this messy banquet hall, dislikes the dirty air inside, and is unwilling to stay even for a minute longer.

The author has something to say: update at 6:7 pm on June 6.

52, accident...

Li Xuesheng glanced at Zhou Guangtong's tall and straight back that was going away quickly, and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't grasp the flashing feeling in his mind for a while.

He didn't spend time thinking about Zhou Guangtong, but was busy talking and connecting with Derek Alston.

The thought of parting the next morning made both of them cherish their brief time together tonight.

At 3:30 pm on March 2, the plane from Los Angeles, USA to Beijing, China landed at Capital Airport on time.

Under Fan Deqiang's instructions, Zhou Guangtong, Li Xuesheng, and Yin Shengzhe changed their shirts, suits, leather shoes, and tied their ties in the bathroom in advance.

After the four people in suits and leather shoes got off the plane, they were led directly into the magnificent VIP room by the stewardess.

Leaders from the Ministry of Education, Peking University, and reporters from CCTV, Xinhua News Agency, and many other media were chatting freely in the VIP room, while waiting for Li Xuesheng and others who were about to fly to Beijing.

Seeing Fan Deqiang and his 4 people come in, Director Zhao of the Ministry of Education first stood up and applauded, followed by the others.

Three teenagers wearing red scarves came forward with flowers in their hands, presenting flowers to Zhou Guangtong, Li Xuesheng, and Yin Shengzhe respectively.

A room full of people welcomed the three college students who returned home with warm applause and delicate flowers.

Director Zhao delivered a passionate speech in front of many media.

He highly affirmed Zhou Guangtong, Li Xuesheng, and Yin Shengzhe who won the 18th ACM-ICPC global championship, and highly praised Peking University, which has cultivated outstanding students.

After the speech, Director Zhao cordially talked with Zhou Guangtong, Li Xuesheng, and Yin Shengzhe, asking about their study and living conditions.

Because of his young age and being an orphan, Li Xuesheng received special attention from Director Zhao.

"You are so young, but you have to participate in such a large-scale international competition, do you feel nervous?"

Li Xuesheng shook his head, and said in a calm tone: "Captain Zhou is our backbone, as long as I stay by his side, I won't be nervous."

With a simple sentence, he naturally turned everyone's attention to Zhou Guangtong.

Zhou Guangtong took a quick look at Li Xuesheng and thought, "You are quite good at flattering me, how can I have the honor to be your backbone."

He knew that Li Xuesheng was low-key and unassuming, but he couldn't and didn't want to take all the credit for it.
