fake god

After introducing the judges this time, the first contestant came out. Meng Xin brushed past him and returned to the backstage rest room with her skirt in her hand.

The atmosphere in the rest room was a bit weird: Shen Yuze crossed his legs, leaned on the seat, tapped the table next to him rhythmically with his fingers, and Shen was like water, no one could see what he was thinking in his heart.Teacher Feng, who was sitting next door, looked unhappy, frowning, and flipped through the information on the phone.

None of them spoke, sweeping away the harmonious atmosphere before the start of the game.

Meng Xin sighed in her heart, she knew the reason for this situation - just now, Teacher Feng brought Wang Shiya to Shen Yuze and said that they should contact each other before the game.Unexpectedly, Shen Yuze would not give anything, and replied indifferently: "I have no relationship with Miss Wang."

Teacher Feng's face immediately lost its expression.

Wang Shiya responded quickly, and said with a smile: "I think what my junior means is that I am a judge and he is a contestant. If we have too close contacts, other people will make irresponsible remarks."

It can barely be regarded as rounding the field.

But anyone with a little online EQ can tell that these two have known each other before!And there is a grudge! !

One is the proud girl who walked out of the school, and the other is the champion seed who came to participate in the competition. These two actually formed a relationship before the competition started... Teacher Feng's temples were throbbing and hurting, and he was very suspicious of this time. The prize money of the game is flying again.

She wanted to ask Shen Yuze what was going on several times, but she was a teacher after all, so she couldn't just inquire about the students' private affairs.

Seeing Meng Xin returned to the backstage, Teacher Feng got up and said that he wanted to take a breath outside.After she left, Meng Xin's eyes immediately fell on Shen Yuze.

The young man's face was calm and unwavering, he didn't care about Meng Xin's sizing up at all.

Meng Xin laid the groundwork in a devious way: "Student, which one did you get to be on stage?"

Shen Yuze: "The eighth."

"Ah, I remember that Experimental Middle School is the seventh."

"Ah."

"..." Meng Xin was speechless.She really wanted to gossip, but she and Shen Yuze didn't know each other that well.

Seeing her faltering, Shen Yuze said directly: "Senior sister, that's not what you want to ask, is it?"

Meng Xin's eyes lit up: "Is it convenient to say?"

Shen Yuze glanced at her and said lightly, "It's not convenient."

Meng Xin: "..." No, she can't be angry, she put on beautiful makeup and a beautiful dress today, she can't destroy her goddess image for the damn Shen Yuze! ! !

She stroked her chest with her palm twice, and told herself to take a step back and further enlarge her mammary glands. How could she proliferate?

Meng Xin calmed down, and quietly gave Shen Yuze a needle: "No matter what conflicts you had with Senior Sister Wang before, she is the judge this time after all, aren't you afraid that she will give you a low score?"

"Not afraid," Shen Yuze replied without changing his expression, "because she didn't dare."

Meng Xin: "........."

……

"—How dare that woman?????" In the auditorium, Sister Qian cracked her fist joints. If it wasn't for her younger brothers who were holding her down desperately, she might really run impulsively. Going to the first row of judges' seats, pointing at Wang Shiya's nose and cursing.

Just now, the contestant from North Shore High School who was drawn to play the sixth place ended his speech. In the subsequent questioning session of the judges, Wang Shiya used an extremely critical attitude and a very harsh tone to criticize the contestants from North Shore High School. It was worthless, which made the poor male contestant turn red and couldn't get off the stage.

In the first round of scoring, Wang Shiya actually scored 75 points, the lowest score in the game!

It is true that the players from North Shore High School are much less capable than other high school players, and he got stuck on the stage because he was too nervous, but the other four judges all gave at least 80 points or more, so hereby encourage.

When calculating the first-round average, both the lowest and highest scores were dropped, but the scarlet 75 was like a slap in the face for everyone at North Shore High.

The students of Jiaojiang No. [-] Middle School who were sitting in the phalanx of North Shore High School all had embarrassing expressions, all of them shrunk their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Wang Shiya is their senior sister, and it stands to reason that they should stand on Wang Shiya's side, but in today's competition, Wang Shiya, the judge, really behaved embarrassingly.

She is an extremely strict judge, every contestant on stage will be picked by her.When the first six contestants scored, Wang Shiya gave the lowest score four times, which attracted the attention of other judges. A foreign judge politely reminded her: "Miss Wang, this is a competition for high school students. We should focus on encouragement. , don’t dampen their enthusiasm for English learning.”

But to the question, Wang Shiya replied with a smile: "I have my own scoring standards. I am strict with them because I have high expectations for them. I think my scoring is in line with their actual level. Moreover, If I change my grading criteria and give inflated marks to the next few students, it will be unfair to the former students."

Reasonable and well-founded, people can't fault it.

Forget it, anyway, she gave everyone a very low score, almost every game was the "removed lowest score", so if she continued to maintain this scoring mode, it would not affect anything.

In this way, the seventh contestant ushered in on the stage.

As soon as the seventh contestant appeared on the stage, bursts of cheers erupted in the auditorium, because this contestant is a representative of the Experimental Middle School!The experimental middle school students crowded in the aisle to watch the game applauded and shouted her name in unison.

It was a female contestant, not tall, wearing glasses, and wearing a simple and generous fishtail suit skirt, she spoke very beautiful British English.

Chen Miaomiao whispered to Lu Ping: "That's her! The trump card of Experimental Middle School! Her father is an associate professor of English at Jiaojiang University. Her father was sent to England as a visiting scholar when she was in elementary school, so she studied in England for several years. Listen to their English...the authentic British London accent!"

Lu Ping couldn't tell whether the Cockney accent was not, but he did feel that her voice and intonation were very similar to the British movies and TV series he had watched.And Lu Ping noticed that the judges in the front row nodded as they listened, and seemed very satisfied with her.

Even if Lu Ping has [-]% confidence in Shen Yuze, he must admit that this player from the Experimental Middle School is indeed very threatening.

Soon, the female contestant finished her speech, and after the questioning session, the five judges showed their scores one by one.

They are: 96 points, 93 points, 94 points, 95 points, 88 points.

In a field of 9s, the 8s are too dazzling... Don't even think about it, it was definitely given by Wang Shiya! !

There were faint boos in the auditorium, but it didn't last long before disappearing.It's just that everyone's faces were more or less optimistic, as if to say: such a good player has been given a low score, is there anyone in this world who can satisfy Wang Shiya?

After receiving their results, the female contestants from the Experimental Middle School bowed to the judges, then turned and walked off the stage.

Immediately afterwards, a teenager in a suit stepped into the spotlight.With handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows, his gaze was like a knife. The moment he appeared, the entire auditorium was silent for a few seconds. Everyone seemed to have been cast by a strange magic, like a group of dumb puppets, all eyes were focused on that figure body.

"——(English) Hello, judges and teachers, my name is Shen Yuze, and I come from Jiaojiang No. [-] Middle School."

The cold voice cut through the eerie silence in the auditorium, and soon, countless discussions sounded in the auditorium.

"Holy shit, this looks amazing! No. [-] Middle School not only has nerds, but also such a handsome schoolgirl?!"

"My neighbor is in No. [-] Middle School, I have to go back and find out about him!"

"He's at least 1.8 meters five... No, 1.8 meters eight is definitely there!"

"The face is so small and the legs are so long, is this really a speech contest and not a modeling contest?"

"Can you girls be quiet? Are you handsome enough to be eaten? The judges don't judge based on their faces."

All kinds of discussions were mixed, and the staff responsible for the discipline of the auditorium tried their best to calm down the audience.

At this moment, a group of students sitting in the fifth row without school uniforms suddenly took out banners. On the banners, there were photos of the teenagers on the stage and the logo of Jiaojiang No. [-] Middle School. Eight big characters: [a student from a middle school, proud of the crowd], this unexpected move instantly filled the atmosphere of support.

In the center of the crowd was a boy with a round face. He raised his hand above his head and kept shaking it at the teenagers on the stage. His smiling eyes were bent into two beautiful arcs.Although he didn't speak, his demeanor and actions fully demonstrated his support and trust.

Under the spotlight, when Shen Yuze saw the banner shaking in Lu Ping's hand, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled faintly.That smile is like a flower quietly blooming in the ice and snow, making people reluctant to look away.

On and off the stage, the eyes meet; the surrounding voices seem to disappear, and only him and him who are connected with each other are left in the empty auditorium.

"Come on." Lu Ping mouthed silently, he knew Shen Yuze would accept it.

It wasn't until the timekeeper reminded the contestants that they could start their speeches that the teenagers on the stage withdrew their thoughts and devoted themselves to the competition.

The topic of the first round of fixed-topic speeches was sent to each school ten days ago, and the topic was related to environmental protection.With sufficient preparation time, Shen Yuze's speech has been revised several times, and the content is detailed.He stood in the center of the stage, fluent in American English,

The bearing is calm, the relaxation is moderate, and the self-confidence is proud.

Lu Ping had read Shen Yuze's speech in advance, and secretly practiced reading it in private.However, Lu Ping's English level is too poor, he doesn't know many words, he stumbles, and his pronunciation is very chinglish.In Lu Ping's eyes, this speech was complicated and profound, but when it was read from Shen Yuze's mouth, it sounded like a poem, and the speech was not rushed or slow, which made the judges smile.

After the 3-minute speech was over, Chen Miaomiao next to Lu Ping couldn't help shouting "Ok!", and then took the lead in applauding.

Lu Ping was taken aback by her surprise, and asked helplessly, "Do you understand?"

"Experts look at the doorway, and laymen watch the fun. It doesn't matter whether he understands or not. It's always right to applaud first!" Chen Miaomiao urged Lu Ping while applauding the otters, "Don't be dumb, applaud."

So Lu Ping clapped his hands like an otter.

The two of them were like two big otters floating in the water, and the other students in No. [-] Middle School were little otters. A group of otters kept applauding, and their hands hurt from clapping.

After the speech, there was another questioning session by the familiar judges.All the audience were ready, waiting for Wang Shiya to attack... But the strange thing is, this time Wang Shiya didn't say a word.

After the editor-in-chief from the English newspaper finished asking questions, he handed the microphone to her and said deliberately, "Miss Wang won't ask questions this time?"

"No." Wang Shiya smiled, "This classmate Shen is a junior in my No. [-] Middle School. I trust his English proficiency. His pronunciation is so standard, and the entire speech is well written. I can't ask any questions. "

...How should I put it, although the individual words of her words are fine, but when put together, they are indescribably weird.Obviously she was "praising" Shen Yuze, but Lu Ping believed that she had absolutely no good intentions.

After the questioning session, it was time for the first round of scoring.The scores of the five judges appeared on the big screen one by one. When the audience saw the numbers clearly, the entire auditorium was silent at first, and then immediately filled with noisy discussions.

——97, 93, 94, 93...and, 100.

Yes, that's right, Wang Shiya, who is extremely harsh on all the contestants, actually gave Shen Yuze full marks! !

"Damn, this eccentricity is too obvious!"

"The inside story! The judges of the No. [-] Middle School gave the contestants of the No. [-] Middle School full marks. It's ridiculous!"

"How shameless!"

"I used to think that although Wang Shiya was strict, she was fair anyway. Now I realize that I am really too young."

"I don't hesitate to deduct other people's points. I am picky about other players. It turns out that all the praise and points are given to my family!"

"Question: Why did the contestants in No. [-] Middle School get [-] points? Because the full score is [-] points!"

These noisy discussions swarmed from all directions, and even the North Shore high school students who were sitting with them began to look at them strangely!

Sister Qian gave Lu Ping a big roll of her eyes unceremoniously, and cursed a few words in dialect.

Lu Ping: "..."

Chen Miaomiao: "..."

A middle school student who was besieged couldn't speak.What can they say?How can they explain it? "Shen Yuze deserves this achievement, we have no insider information!" Or "Other judges gave him high marks, which is enough to prove Shen Yuze's excellence!"

Useless, useless.

In front of that naked "100", all their explanations will be reduced to a laughing stock.

Wang Shiya is too "smart".If she were an ordinary person, she would give Shen Yuze the lowest score at this time, which would offend both the school and Shen Yuze's father; but she deliberately scored [-] points, and she could not find any mistakes in reason, she could explain it, and felt that Shen Yuze was enough Excellent, worthy of full marks.

The competition system stipulates that both the highest score and the lowest score will be eliminated, so her score will be deleted, which will have little impact on Shen Yuze's final score, but it will easily change everyone's evaluation of Shen Yuze.

In the auditorium, Lu Ping clenched his fists in anger.

He finally understood what Wang Shiya was going to do - she was going to kill her!

……

At the end of the first round, Shen Yuze ranked first with an average score of 94.7, and the female players from Experimental Middle School ranked second with 94.0.The results of the two of them were the best, widening the gap with No.3 by four points.

But this achievement is not recognized by many people.

During the intermission, Lu Ping and Chen Miaomiao went outside to get some air, and heard other people's comments, saying that "the number one in No. [-] Middle School got its name incorrectly."They didn't wear school uniforms, and those who talked badly didn't know that the cheerleaders from No. [-] Middle School were by their side.

Chen Miaomiao was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and was about to reason with them, but Lu Ping quickly covered her mouth and dragged her back.

After returning to the seat, Chen Miaomiao was so angry that her eyes were red: "Lu Ping, why didn't you let me scold them just now? Shen Yuze's speech is so good, one hundred points, all will be wiped out!"

She still can't believe it until now, Wang Shiya would give Shen Yuze such a controversial [-] points!

"Is it useful to scold back?" Lu Ping was rational and sober. "The more angry you are, the more they will catch you and feel that you are guilty. Haven't you chased stars before? If the star you chased is said to be behind the achievements There is a shady scene, what do you do?"

Chen Miaomiao thought for a while, and spit out a few words: "'Achievements in hand, laugh at the sore dog'."

Lu Ping: "..." He actually prepared a lot of chicken soup, such as believing in the innocence of idols, such as believing in the strength of idols.

But he thought about Chen Miaomiao's speech, and felt that the vocabulary of the star chasing girl was more precise and rich.

Lu Ping nodded firmly: "En Esdidi! The first round is just a warm-up, we have to trust Shen Yuze, the impromptu speech in the second round is where he can show his full strength."

"Okay!" With his encouragement, Chen Miaomiao stood up again.

Lu Ping used the same words to appease the other students: "This is the territory of Experimental Middle School, we must not do anything, otherwise they will definitely make use of it... Don't you believe Shen Yuze's ability? Those who say there is a shady scene are all jealous He...be himself, ignore those barking dogs...the more provocative they are, the more calm we have to be..."

Lu Ping spoke dryly, and finally reunited the precarious team atmosphere.

After everyone was settled, Lu Ping took out his mobile phone and sent someone a text message.

Contrary to the relaxed expression on his face, Lu Ping knocked on the screen of his mobile phone, and his anger almost burst out from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Ping: Shen Yuze! ! ! ! ! !Fuck her! ! ! ! ! ! !

Lu Ping: Give me a hard slap in the face! ! ! ! ! ! !

Lu Ping: Don't come to see me if you don't get the first place! ! ! ! ! ! !

Lu Ping: (╯‵*′)╯︵┻━┻

After a series of text messages were sent, the phone soon beeped lightly.

Shen Yuze: Yes, Your Highness.

……

The 15-minute intermission will soon be over, and the second round will officially begin.

The smell of gunpowder in the second competition was stronger. This competition was an impromptu speech. Each contestant came to the stage to draw a topic in turn. The preparation time for each topic was 1 minute, and the speech was still usually 3 minutes.

Don't think that 3 minutes is very short. In fact, even if it is an impromptu speech in Chinese, many people cannot speak for 3 minutes alone.Speech competitions are very particular about the outline, not only the theme must be clear, but the structure level must be clearer, and it must be related to reality, and it must not be fake.In the English speech contest, the competition is not about the standard or non-standard English pronunciation of the contestants, and the richness of the vocabulary. In fact, the competition is about the depth of thought and the ability to control the rhythm.

Some contestants performed steadily in their fixed-topic speeches, but their impromptu speeches were a mess and their brains went blank; some contestants were just the opposite.Therefore, the impromptu speech competition is the most interesting part. Some people will counterattack, and some will fall to the bottom.

Sure enough, there was a huge gap between the performances of the first few contestants. The most surprising one was the player from North Shore High School. He scored the lowest score in the first round. Unexpectedly, he performed very well in the impromptu part, and the results of the two parts were combined. Together, it actually allowed him to successfully complete the counterattack.

Sister Qian's mood has obviously turned from cloudy to sunny, and the cheerleaders of No. [-] Middle School next to her are not so unpleasant.

The female contestant from the experimental middle school who appeared next was given the title "Introduce My Best Friend".This topic seems so simple that even elementary school students can write essays, but the female contestant's handling is not simple.

She entered the theme with "I have a friend who has been with me since I was a child" and began to introduce her friend.In her narration, this friend of the same age is a beautiful little girl, but she looks mediocre; she is very smart in studies, but occasionally lazy and does not want to do homework; she is sometimes vain, sometimes generous, sometimes likes to be alone, sometimes eager live in community……

In the last minute of the whole speech, she suddenly changed the topic and threw out the topic-the "friend" she spoke of was actually herself.

Everyone's most important friend is himself, and everyone's greatest enemy is also himself.We have to fight against our own negative emotions, and learn to motivate ourselves when we fall into the trough...

Lu Ping's English level has improved a lot recently, and he can barely understand a part of this chicken soup for growth.

Chen Miaomiao's English is poor, her eyes are completely smeared, and Sister Qian's English is also very poor.

They both looked at Lu Ping at the same time, wanting Lu Ping to translate.

Lu Ping: "...Actually, I just passed the English test."

Sister Qian: "It's okay, I have never passed the English test."

It is true that one person dares to read, and the other two dare to listen.

Lu Ping recounted the topic of the female contestant's speech, and got the bewildered expressions of the two girls.

Chen Miaomiao: "So she's twins?"

Sister Qian: "You didn't understand, she is an only child, and that friend of hers is another self imagined!"

Chen Miaomiao: "So she doesn't have any friends? I mean the real ones that can be seen and touched?"

Sister Qian: "She is friends with me, so don't you need to go to the hospital?"

Chen Miaomiao: "She is so pitiful..."

Lu Ping: "........."

Although they were not interested in this impromptu speech, several judges and teachers liked it very much. Even Wang Shiya gave it a score of over 90 for the first time. (However, Lu Ping felt that it was likely that the organizer of the competition had talked with Wang Shiya during the intermission, so she didn't continue to go crazy.) In the end, the two scores were added up, and Experimental Middle School temporarily ranked first.

When the results were announced, the students of Experimental Middle School burst into cheers, as if they had already secured the championship in advance.

And when Shen Yuze's figure appeared on the stage, those cheers turned into meaningful boos.

Lu Ping gave Chen Miaomiao a look, and they simultaneously raised the banners in their hands, waved them in the auditorium, and shouted Shen Yuze's name in unison.Driven by him, other students in the No. [-] Middle School cheerleading team also let go of their voices.

"Shen Yuze! Shen Yuze! Shen Yuze!"

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

"No. [-] middle school student! Fight for the first place!"

Even though they were small in number, they were in the front position and yelled neatly. They actually overwhelmed the boos of the Experimental Middle School. Even the judges in the first row couldn't hold back their heads and looked at the waving handcuffs. them.

Lu Ping straightened his back, this is not the time for him to be shy!Now that Shen Yuze needed their support and their voices, Lu Ping would never allow himself to be looked at twice, so he flinched.

In the middle of the stage, Shen Yuze looked at Lu Ping who was desperately shouting for him, and his heart became softer.

However, when his eyes swept over Wang Shiya who was on the judging panel, the softness in his heart turned into a sharp sword again.

Since Wang Shiya wants to make a fool of Shen Yuze by using small tricks, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Yuze to follow her wish.His grades are earned by him in an upright manner. Wang Shiya's attempt to drag him into the quagmire is simply a dream come true!

Moreover, he has already promised Lu Ping that he will win the championship for him... Of course, Shen Yuze will not break his promise.

Standing under the light, the young man raised his right hand, put his index finger on his lips lightly, and made a silent gesture.

Lu Ping in the auditorium immediately signaled the cheerleaders to quiet down and stop making any noise.

On the big screen, several random patterns of vocabulary kept jumping, and each pattern corresponds to a speech topic.

"Stop—" Shen Yuze said into the microphone.

Immediately, the scrolling pattern stopped, and a few seconds later, the pattern changed into a string of English words——"Description of an Extraordinary Travel".

The moment she saw the title, Chen Miaomiao beside Lu Ping let out a low voice.

"This topic is so suitable for him!" Chen Miaomiao was very excited, "Antarctic! What is more suitable than Antarctic!"

Lu Ping thought so too.

Today's big cities are too homogeneous, all business districts, all antique streets, all Internet celebrity coffee shops... Even in other countries and cities, there will not be much new ideas.

But Antarctica is different - this is the most unique and cleanest place on the entire earth, it is covered with snow, it is so cold, and it is so magnificent.

Lu Ping still remembered the envy and sourness in his heart when he first heard Shen Yuze say that he had been to Antarctica.It was a distant continent that Lu Ping could never set foot on in his life, and it was a vision that his poor imagination could not describe at all.

In fact, at that time, Lu Ping considered for a second whether to delete @fake-diamond's account; but when he heard that Shen Yuze had been to Antarctica, he was shattered by a huge gap that could not be described in words. Let him finally choose to put on the disguise again.

Later, Lu Ping posted the photo of Shen Yuze going to the South Pole on @fake-diamond's account, which aroused fans' pursuit.This is enough to prove how powerful the word Antarctica is to ordinary people.

So, Shen Yuze will definitely choose Antarctica, right?

The topic of this speech will definitely amaze everyone.

Lu Ping waited with bated breath.

One minute later, Shen Yuze's preparation time was over. The young man opened his lips, and under the watchful eyes of all the audience, he slowly expressed his theme.

"(English) Someone once said that traveling is going from a place where one is bored to a place where others are bored.

The journey I want to share happened in a small city.

A boy invited me to take a look at the place where he grew up.It was the first time in my life that I saw continuous market stalls and endless crowds on the embankment of the river bank.

It was also the first time I knew that the significance of travel is not in how many scenery I encountered, but in the person who accompanied me through the scenery. "
