"Now I announce that the champion of this English competition is contestant No. [-], Wang Ping from Jiangzhou No. [-] Middle School!"

Before the host's voice fell, the parents who were far away in front of the TV in Jiangzhou City's obliterating time couldn't help but took the lead in applauding.

"Good job, good job!" A group of friends around them gave them a thumbs up, and Rong Long shouted excitedly: "Today, I will pay the bill privately, and I invite everyone here to have a drink for free, and I will settle the bill." superior!"

When Wang Jia heard that his wife, who has always been frugal and stingy, was willing to make such a capital because of her daughter's No. 1, she couldn't help being excited, and also shouted to everyone: "Today's tea is free for the guests of Yiyetang upstairs! "

"Okay!" The guests in the shop, no matter whether they cheered for Wang Ping just now or not, were infected by the atmosphere, and became equally excited under the stimulation of free drinks. The murder time, which was always quiet and peaceful, became like a bar. Just as restless and lively.

It happened that an old gentleman was passing by outside and frowned when he saw the noisy environment inside, but his eyes lit up instantly when he saw the signboard of "Yiyetang" hanging under the eaves of the second floor near the water Down, a sharp light shines from the inside.

He walked in, randomly pulled a customer who was applauding there and asked, "Isn't this a bookstore and teahouse? How did it become so lively?"

The guest turned around and saw a pale old man with gray hair, but he was strong and neatly dressed, so he turned around and said, "You don't know, today the boss's daughter represents Jiangzhou City to participate in the provincial English competition." No.1 in the whole province, the boss and the proprietress invited everyone to drink for free! Old man, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea? Although I don’t know how to taste tea, I went to drink a cup of tea upstairs. It's okay!"

The old man glanced at the close-up shot of Wang Ping on the big screen, looked at her in ancient Chinese costume, and asked, "Is this the little girl?"

The guest who was asked nodded: "That's right! Not only is he good-looking, but he can also speak English well. Although I didn't understand a few words, it sounds better than those chattering foreigners speaking English! "

The old gentleman nodded slightly, and was just seen by Wang Jia who came to greet the guests.It turned out that there were some dull, honest and inarticulate Wang Jia.Today, it happened that because of the atmosphere here and his daughter's excellent performance earned him face, he became as excited as a chicken blood.

He saw the unfamiliar old man greet him very enthusiastically: "Come, come, come, go upstairs, go upstairs. We just arrived at a batch of good tea. Everyone has a share today, don't be polite, don't You're welcome!"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled heartily, and was dragged in by Wang Jia.

And Wang Ping, who was in the provincial capital at that time, finally came down from the stage, listening to everyone's congratulations all the way back to the backstage.She heard her mobile phone singing, and Wang Ping pressed the connect button.Fang Hua's slightly deep voice came from inside.

Fang Hua happened to be in a voice changer when he was in junior high school, and his voice sounded a little funny. He was also a little embarrassed, and usually seldom spoke in school, but since entering high school, his voice has suddenly changed from the previous drake voice to deep. It's magnetic.

Now the transmission through the telephone line sounds even more mature and masculine.

"Honey, congratulations. I just saw it live on TV."

Wang Ping was taken aback, and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall: "Aren't you still taking the physics competition at this point?"

Fang Hua chuckled on the phone.A mellow laughter came from the throat and passed through the telephone line, and it reached Wang Ping's ears, making her heart flutter.

"Silly girl, I handed in the paper early to see your performance, but today's topic is not too difficult. I just finished it and found a place with a TV, and saw the host saying that you took No.1. But unfortunately, it's still Didn't see your entire game this afternoon."

Wang Ping smiled: "Don't worry, I just asked. There will be a replay tomorrow with subtitles. My parents probably didn't understand it this afternoon. I will call them later and tell them..."

When she was talking about this, she heard the notification on her mobile phone and another call came in. She saw that it was Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was here. Isn't it her mother who called?

Since the conditions at home have improved, Wang Ping's mobile phone can finally be taken out in a fair manner. She excused her excellent grades in the senior high school entrance examination, and her mother Rong Long reluctantly rewarded her with a mobile phone.In fact, I just took out the mobile phone I was using.

Although I can only take the underground route when I usually go to study, this time when I came to the provincial capital, my mother Rong Long was specially approved, and even my father Wang Jia also reminded her to keep her mobile phone with her, so that she could keep up with them at any time. connect.

Seeing that it was her father's mobile phone number, Wang Ping hurriedly bid farewell to Fang Hua. They hadn't crossed the road yet. Although they had already identified each other, in the eyes of parents and teachers, puppy love was still an unforgivable crime.

Wang Ping hung up Fang Hua's phone, and sure enough, her mother's concerned voice came from inside.

"Who were you calling just now?" Rong Long didn't forget to check after congratulating Wang Ping.

Wang Ping stuck out her tongue and started making up nonsense: "Lin Ruo, she saw on TV that I won No.1, so she called me immediately!"

Rong Long still knew the names of some good girls in Wang Ping's junior high school, so he said, "Hey, you have a good relationship with your friend, and you actually called us before us..."

Seeing that Rong Long was still nagging, Wang Ping happened to have another call coming in at this time, and told her mother that she was safe, and said that she would continue talking in the evening. Pick up another one.

"Hello, Wang Ping? Congratulations." A delicate and pleasant voice came from the receiver.

Wang Ping heard it all at once: "Zhihui, is that you?"

He Zhihui on the other end nodded: "What a coincidence, I just happened to be free to watch TV today, I flipped through a station and saw you on TV, and I finally called you when the result was announced, and it took me a long time to call you." Jin, you are amazing now. Your mobile phone has become a hotline, and it was so beautiful to see you performing on stage just now!"

Wang Ping smiled embarrassedly: "Where, where, I just wanted to tell you. In fact, I still want to thank you. If I hadn't remembered that I had learned some dance moves from you before, and I had made a couple of random gestures, otherwise it would have been true." Can't get confused."

"Well, I heard from the host just now that you are going to Beijing for this competition No. 1 and No. 2, right? Contact me when you arrive in Beijing. Just treat me to a big meal. I know you are a little rich woman , Eating the big family, using the big family, and knocking down the big family is everyone's responsibility!"

Wang Ping let out a chuckle. Since He Zhihui went to Beijing, she seemed to have become more cheerful. She was no longer as arrogant and withdrawn as she was in Jiangzhou. Perhaps her horizons had broadened.No longer obsessed with your own small world, your heart will become more open.

She smiled and said: "You really, where did you learn it? Don't learn the good ones, just learn the sloppy talk of Beijingers. Okay, I will definitely call you when I come to Beijing. Is this the number? No problem." , I will treat you to dinner then. By the way, I will catch you and let you teach me some beautiful dance moves to fool people."

He Zhihui also smiled: "Okay, it's a deal, I'll wait for you in Beijing."

When Wang Ping finally finished answering all the calls from He Xi, she went to the dressing room and came out after changing, only to see Qin Qing coming out just in time after changing in the next room.

Facing Qin Qing, Wang Ping didn't know how to express it, but she still nodded friendly to her as a greeting.Then turn around and prepare to leave.

"Wait a minute." Qin Qing suddenly called her from behind.

Wang Ping turned her head and saw Qin Qing looking at her with a smile.Then he said, "Why didn't you say you were sister Cheng's friend?"

"Ah, what?" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment but did not respond.

Unexpectedly, Qin Qing had already run over to hold her hand affectionately, and said with a smile, "I know, don't worry, I won't tell others." She winked at Wang Ping and made a meaningful speech expression.

Wang Ping was confused and confused, so she had to go out arm in arm with Qin Qing, and she heard Qin Qing say affectionately beside her: "Speaking of which, we really don't know each other. By the way, what happened before, You're not still blaming me, are you?"

Wang Ping's character is open-minded at best, and soft at worst. She was bullied in her previous life, and she didn't say a word when she suffered a small loss. She will only explode when she is pushed to the extreme.

This is still the case in this life, unless you touch the bottom line and get very angry, you will take it to heart and refuse to let it go easily.However, when it comes to olive branches offered by others, she has always advocated smiling away all grievances.

So even though I still don't understand Qin Qing's sudden change of attitude, she was so bullish before telling her to "wait and see", why she suddenly became so friendly in a blink of an eye, even if she beat her in the English competition, she should It's from embarrassment, now it's uncharacteristically, Wang Ping doesn't know what's weird, but she doesn't hit the smiling face, Wang Ping also feels that it's better to break up the enemy than to get married, and she and Qin Qing don't have any big conflicts, just a little misunderstanding The verbal quarrel caused was not taken to heart, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Why, I was not good at the previous thing, and I didn't explain it clearly. I really didn't mean to play with you. Just don't take it to heart, originally I just wanted to apologize to you..."

When Wang Ping said this, Qin Qing was very happy to hear that, she just held hands before, but now she suddenly took Wang Ping's hand, held it in front of her chest, and said with a smile, "Really? That's great, I'll just say We are very destined! Sister Cheng is my cousin’s wife, but unfortunately I have to go to school at that time, and I have no chance to go when Sister Cheng and my cousin get married in Beijing. Otherwise, the two of us would have known each other earlier. But that’s okay , What a coincidence, we came to participate in this competition together, and we qualified together again, and we will go to Beijing to compete together next month, your English is so good, remember to take care of me when the time comes!"

Qin Qing held Wang Ping's hand and talked happily, but Wang Ping quickly caught the words "cousin" and "marriage" from it, and when she thought of Qin Qing's last name, Wang Ping vaguely remembered that Qin Feng His wife seems to be named Cheng.

With a thought in her heart, she followed Qin Qing's topic first, and said modestly: "No way, you are also very good! Today, I may just be lucky, and the judges like old-fashioned things, so I won No.1. You just now The part of Juliet's monologue recited on the stage is really wonderful!"

"By the way..." She paused, then asked cautiously, "You've been talking about your cousin, your cousin, I don't know your cousin's name..."

Qin Qing smiled before saying a word: "Don't you know? It's all my fault. I was too anxious and forgot to introduce myself. You must have met my cousin. His name is Qin Feng. Do you know him?"

Wang Ping realized instantly: "Ah, so you are Brother Qin's cousin!"

Qin Qing's eyes turned into beautiful crescents with a smile: "Yeah, is it a coincidence? If my father hadn't told me that Sister Cheng called and asked him to take care of me, I wouldn't have known that you were Sister Cheng." friend."

Wang Ping understood it all at once.

If it weren't for Cheng Heng's phone call, the default champion of this competition would definitely be Qin Qing in front of him.The sudden change in Qin Qing's attitude was probably due to Cheng Heng's phone call, which made her think that she was also someone with a background, so she was willing to put down her dignity and make friends with her.

So is my No.1 score also mixed with water?

Wang Ping couldn't help secretly doubting herself. The Cheng family was even more powerful than the Qin family. Although Qin Qing was a girl from the Qin family, she would not give up the Cheng family who was getting married. Don't even treat the Qin family members more politely, since Cheng Heng came forward to say hello and put himself on the throne of No. 1 champion, then there would be no suspense.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping couldn't help but feel a little sad. She no longer had the joy she had when she learned that she really defeated everyone with her strength and won No.1.

"Wang Ping, do you have anything to do tonight? If it's okay, let's have dinner together? My father booked a banquet at the Yunding restaurant in the provincial hotel to celebrate my chance to go to Beijing. My cousin and sister Cheng will also come. My father asked me to ask you, if you are okay, come with us!" What Qin Qing didn't say was that the banquet was originally prepared to celebrate her winning No.1 in the provincial English competition, who knows Halfway through, Wang Ping, who was stronger than her in terms of background and oral English ability, could not turn against her, but wanted to make friends with her.

Qin Qing had no choice but to change the name, but it was impossible to say no to anger in her heart.

Wang Ping shook her head and refused with a smile.Although she had vaguely guessed the truth in her heart, Qin Qing might not have no grudges against her in her heart, but she still had an amiable smile on her face. If she wanted to say what skills she had learned after being reborn, it was probably as good as those so-called high-class people. Speaking with a mask, at least to outsiders, she can hide her emotions without difficulty.

"I'm sorry, I already have an appointment tonight. Next time, I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet!" Wang Ping began to be polite, who knows when the next time will be. (To be continued.
