I am a scholar

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the team gathered outside the hotel gate scatteredly, and then got into Uncle Brown's car.

Brown put the cigarette case in his pocket, and seeing everyone coming up, he closed the car door and stepped on the gas pedal.

Drive smoothly at a speed that is neither too fast nor too slow.

There is no competition today. The US team invited the players from the national teams to arrange the examination room for tomorrow's competition with them. When we arrived at Stanford University, we could see some people waving the national flags of many countries outside the gate.

Zhong Yanhai took out the Chinese national flag from his backpack and said to everyone: "Everyone pay attention, follow this national flag and don't fall behind, okay?"

"Okay!" The contestants of different ages answered in unison.

The team leaders led them into Stanford University and lined up with teams from other countries. Standing next to Chen Muxi happened to be a handsome young man with light skin, straight nose and slightly high bridge of nose, blond and blue eyes.

Just looking at the appearance, he is a bit more mature than Tongtong, but his facial features are sharp and angular, very good-looking.

Chen Mu hoped for him for a while, and the young man seemed to feel the gaze of the other party. He turned his head, stretched out his hand, and said in English, "Hi, I'm Joseph from Germany."

Chen Muxi held the other party's hand and said, "My name is Chen Muxi, and I'm from China."

Like adults, the two shook hands and said hello.

Then they start talking to each other.

Joseph is as old as Tongtong, and the characteristics of the Germans can be clearly reflected in this young boy. His clothes are buttoned to the collar, while Chen Muxi's clothes are only buttoned to the bottom of the collarbone, and the collar is open.

Behavior and speech are even more well-behaved. Some children next to him are already making a fuss, and Joseph's teammates are also joking, but in this occasion when facing players from various countries, he is very restrained in his character and maintains etiquette.

When the team leader informed the players of the German team to enter first, Joseph politely said to Chen Muxi: "It was a pleasure talking with you, but I have to go in first, looking forward to your arrival."

Chen Muxi nodded with a smile and waved her hand.

After Joseph entered, someone beside him said in Chen Muxi's ear: "The American team and the German team are our biggest rivals, especially the German team. Their rigorous and rigid attitude is simply outrageous."

The German team left, and the French team became next to it.The boys would gather around a girl and talk to her about clothes, food, and probably people in this country, no matter how old they are, would know a little about these things.

Suddenly they were talking about delicious Chinese dishes, someone pointed to the Chinese team next to them, and soon someone came over with interest.

When I came to the United States, everyone talked in English. The boys on the French team are very good at English, but most of them are junior high school players.

However, after Chen Muxi and Tongtong spoke, this group of somewhat proud teenagers were all stunned.

"Did you all live in the United States since childhood?"

"You guys speak English really well, can you teach me how to say the warped sound when you say the ending sound?"

A handsome French boy asked quickly with his eyes wide open.

Chen Muxi smiled on her face, but she was muttering in her heart, what the hell is a warped voice?

When Chen Muxi speaks English, she has a habit that she doesn't know about, that is, her tongue is slightly tilted up, and her tone of voice will vibrate. It seems to be deliberate, but in fact, she has never known it.

Tongtong has always liked his English pronunciation very much, but unexpectedly, Chen Muxi knew nothing about his own habits.

This made him bend his lips involuntarily, and laughed silently.

Zhong Yanhai informed the players of the Chinese team to set off, and Chen Muxi bid farewell to the group of French teenagers temporarily.

After entering the classroom, I found that the layout of the examination room is not about setting up tables and chairs, but about teenagers from different countries sitting in a circle and doing handicrafts together. A player's gift.

Handwork is also a kind of test. At this time, many teachers will pass by and observe them quietly.

So far, Chen Muxi has not encountered any difficult learning. With the help of a special teacher, he can do some paper-cutting skills flexibly and independently.

His hands are very flexible and he is also very creative, which made the teachers passing by notice him one after another. Several tall, tall, blond and blue-eyed teachers surrounded him and watched Chen Muxi's performance silently for a while, and then they couldn't help the scene Just praise it.

"He has dexterous fingers. He must have learned the piano."

"And his eyes are very focused and will not be disturbed by external things. I like serious children."

"His works are also very charming. I didn't expect a boy to have such a romantic thinking."

"His thinking is very broad, he can integrate what he has learned, and the things he designed are also very distinctive. I like this young man." Even Mr. John, who has always been rigorous and demanding, did not hesitate to praise himself at this time.

"I hope he can have a good result in the World Junior Championships." The beautiful teacher next to him also nodded, obviously admiring him very much.

However, Chen Muxi had already heard their words clearly.

Although his fingers are slender, strong, clean and fair, and very beautiful, he has never learned the piano.

His eyes are bright and clear, making people seem to be very focused. In fact, he likes to be half-hearted. At this time, his eyes are looking at Tongtong, his ears are listening to the teachers talking, and his hands are always moving.

His imagination should naturally be very broad, because he has seen two worlds...

The one-day event was a very meaningful experience for these children. They prepared rewards for themselves, arranged examination rooms for themselves, and got to know teenagers from various countries.

Until it got dark, when it was time for everyone to leave, everyone was a little bit reluctant, but looking at the carefully arranged examination room and the handmade gifts collected, there was a very indescribable sense of satisfaction.

An experience like never before.

Uncle Brown's car parked steadily next to the hotel, and then said goodbye to the children. After working all day, Brown took out the cigarette case contentedly, and found that there was not even a single cigarette in it.

A little regretful, but Brown decided not to buy cigarettes for the time being these days.

Today, this group of little guys, their noses are so sensitive, they smelled smoke as soon as they smelled it, and they even scolded him viciously, explaining the dangers of smoke from beginning to end.

So he wants to be an example.

After the group of children finished the competition and returned to the country, he went to buy cigarettes.

After making a decision, Brown planned to drive home. Under the night lights, the car drove fast.

……

On the second day, the teachers remembered that Chen Muxi, who was concentrating on the piano, was serious and broad-minded, came to the examination room and handed the teacher his identity certificate. After the inspection, he could wait for the test papers to be issued.

Unlike in China, their seats were not separated in this exam. Chen Muxi's deskmate was a black boy.

When the exam started, Chen Muxi wrote down her name, and quickly scanned the paper again.

After she knew it in her mind, Chen Muxi took a pen to answer the questions with confidence, her writing speed was very fast, no, it should be said that she did her calculations very fast, so she answered very quickly.

Maybe yesterday was really impressive, so today there are still several teachers around Chen Muxi, watching his test papers.

He will do the questions, and hear the voice of praise from time to time in his ears.

Of course, it is not related to the answers, but the lines of beautiful mathematical words he wrote, which made these teachers of different nationalities appreciate.

Tong Tong, who was sitting right behind, looked at Chen Muxi's back, paused the tip of the pen on the paper, and then stopped.

The boy in front of him will shine everywhere, and he will be the first to be noticed, appreciated, and admired among his peers.

This is the boy who grew up with him. No one knows this man better than him.

No matter how much these people pay attention to him, this boy will always be by his side.

This is his boy.

Tong Tong's eyes were on the paper, but Chen Muxi's face flashed in his mind, and the obsession in his heart deepened.

However, all this happened without a trace or sound.

Even he didn't know that he was already full of desires at this time, and he couldn't extricate himself when he woke up.

This kind of competition did not have the tense atmosphere when he was in China. All the players performed well. Chen Muxi was very confident in the results, but on the other hand, he cared less and less.My mind is on where to play tomorrow.

For many players, it is very difficult to come to the United States, so after discussion, the team leaders applied to the organizer to board the plane and return home in five days.

Among them, there are four days of play time.

Awards will be presented to the contestants in the afternoon, after which there will be more free time. The team leader will take everyone around for a while, while Chen Muxi and Tong Tong will apply to go out alone again.

After all, the parents were all around, and the team leader agreed to the request.

At noon, everyone ate in the cafeteria of Stanford University. The reputation of the world famous university is not in vain, and the food in the cafeteria is also very delicious.Even Uncle Brown, who is the driver, is also qualified to enjoy the food here with the players and team leaders.

Chen Muxi has always been open to food, but after eating a little Western food, she finally feels that Chinese food is more delicious.

The German teenager Johnson came over, greeted him, nodded very politely and said hello, and then dragged him over to stick his face.

Chen Muxi knows that this is not an expression of "we are very familiar", but a normal way of greeting Germans, but it can also show that they are friends.

Tongtong looked at the side, and then said: "Xiaoxi, the cake you just baked is almost cold."

Chen Muxi has always liked to eat hot food. After hearing this, she pulled Johnson's hand away, invited him to sit down, and said, "The hot cake is very soft, we can enjoy it together."

"I heard that the way Chinese people are friendly is to eat food together, thank you." Johnson said gratefully, and politely refused Chen Muxi's invitation, sat down and enjoyed it with them.

All these were silently watched by Tong Tong, without revealing any emotion on the surface, but his words gradually decreased.

This foreigner who doesn't know how to say no... hum.
