Doing It Over Again - Chapter 42
There are many guests in the western food area, including Chinese with black hair and black eyes, as well as guests from other countries. Shen Shao and his group of more than 20 people appeared in the western food area, which attracted a lot of onlookers, especially there were several handsome guys in the group.
Shen Shao was not very interested in western food. The organizer ordered a personal set meal for them. He ate two mouthfuls of veal. He heard a quarrel not far away, and turned his head to see that it was three men and a couple arguing about something. Finally he heard one of the men say a dirty word, not in Chinese, but in the words of Mulberry Island.
Shen Shao frowned, and the movement of forking the veal stopped.
Gu Ningzhao beckoned to call the waiter, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, “What happened?”
The waiter lowered his voice and said, “There was a little conflict between the two sides, and our manager has gone to resolve it.”
There was indeed a manager who came to solve the matter, but the three foreigners didn’t seem to buy it very much, but it seemed that because of the presence of other people, the three men apologized in the universal language, and when they sat down, one of them People seemed to be smiling and saying something to the Chinese couple.
“Huh!” Gu Ningzhao’s fork slashed **** the bottom of the plate, and he replied with a smile, although Shen Shao didn’t understand Sang Dao’s words, he could see it clearly, after Gu Ningzhao finished saying this sentence After the words, the faces of the three men were a little distorted. One of the men even tried to get up and do something, but was stopped by a companion.
Only then did all the Chinese people present reacted. The Mulberry Islander must have said something bad just now. Otherwise, how could he be so angry after being exposed?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff, but Gu Ningzhao, who had dismantled the other party’s tricks, turned the other party’s face into anger, and continued to eat veal, as if he was not the one who used the taunting skill just now.
“What did you just say?” Shen Shao asked curiously.
“It’s nothing,” Gu Ningzhao took a sip of his drink, “it’s just a little joke with them.”
The other party scolded them Chinese people as stupid Chinese, can’t he reply? Only when they come and go is it in line with the etiquette of their country for thousands of years.
“How many languages do you know?” Shen Shao felt that this was also a question.
“Not much, many languages are just simple to know some everyday terms,” Gu Ningzhao saw that the butter noodles in Shen Shao’s plate had hardly moved, and frowned: “Don’t like it?”
Shen Shao raised his eyebrows: “It’s not annoying.”
Gu Ningzhao nodded, it doesn’t mean that he hates it, that is, he doesn’t like it? After more than a year of getting along, he has long discovered that Shen Shao only prefers Chinese and French dishes, and will never eat dishes from other countries unless necessary.
However, Shen Shao’s dining etiquette is very standard. Even he can’t pick out any faults. Many times it is a pleasure to watch Shen Shao perform etiquette, but most of this time is when Shen Shao is wearing a mask.
In his eyes, it seems that Shen Shao, who is still holding a spoon and eating half a watermelon, is more fresh.
What surprised everyone was that the lunch went smoothly. Except for the quarrel that had nothing to do with them, they never encountered any trouble again. This kind of feeling of waiting for the other shoe to fall but never fell. , it’s not so nice.
So even though lunch was over, the organizer asked them to go back to the dormitory for a lunch break, and when they gathered to play together at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, they didn’t feel much at ease.
Sleeping time is always the fastest. When Shen Shao woke up, it was already 2:10 in the afternoon. He glanced at Gu Ningzhao, who was still sleeping, and lightly made his bed, and then went to the bathroom to wash his face and change his clothes. At that time, Gu Ningzhao was already awake, but it seemed that he was still a little awake while sitting on the bed.
“Awake?” Picked up two cans of drinks from the table, opened them, and handed them to Gu Ningzhao, who was not fully awake, “It’s almost half past two, get up and change clothes.”
Holding the drink and taking two sips, the cold touch finally made Gu Ningzhao return to his senses. He got up from the bed, opened the curtains and found that it was snowing outside: “It’s snowing.”
“Huh?” Shen Shao walked to the window in surprise and glanced at it. In just two hours, a thin layer of snow had accumulated outside, and he looked somewhat indescribably beautiful.
Gu Ningzhao took out his coat from the cabinet, took off his nightgown in front of Shen Shao, and put it on one by one: “I brought two scarves in the box, remember to wear one when you go out.”
Shen Shao wanted to say that he also brought it, but after hearing Gu Ningzhao’s tone, it seemed that he had brought it for him on a special trip, so he did not refuse, found Gu Ningzhao’s suitcase, and found two scarves from the messy pile of clothes.
The two scarves are very simple striped patterns, the same style, even the same color, Shen Shao helplessly glanced at Gu Ningzhao who was still arranging his coat, this is too casual, anyway, the color should be different.
Throwing one of them to Gu Ningzhao, he roughly tidied up the suitcase again, turned and pulled Gu Ningzhao who was sitting on the bed away: “Go wash your face, I’ll make your bed.”
“Oh,” Gu Ningzhao honestly entered the bathroom with the scarf in his arms, and came out again after a while. The scarf was wrapped around his neck. He glanced at the two beds that had become more tidy, and then looked at Shen Shao Forgot the scarf in the corner, “It’s getting late, let’s go down.” After that, he put the scarf in the corner into Shen Shao’s hand.
“Well, it’s really getting late,” Shen Shao casually wrapped the scarf around his neck, “Let’s go.”
After reaching out to help Shen Shao straighten the scarf and making the scarf more fashionable, Gu Ningzhao nodded and opened the door one step ahead.
After leaving the room, he felt that the temperature had dropped by a lot of degrees. Shen Shao shivered, pressed the elevator and said, “It’s really cold.”
Gu Ningzhao stretched out his hand to tighten the scarf for Shen Shao, so that the scarf’s thermal function could be brought into full play.
The elevator door opened, and a girl stood inside, one of the 20 contestants left this time. She stared blankly at Gu Ningzhao and Shen Shao, then smiled and took a step aside.
The elevator went all the way down. Except for the three of them, no one entered the elevator. After the elevator reached the first floor, Shen Shao made a gesture of invitation to the girl, signaling her to go first.
When the girl walked out, Shen Shao put his hand beside the elevator door to prevent the elevator door from closing suddenly. After Gu Ningzhao also walked out, he withdrew his hand and strode out of the elevator.
On the first floor with the door open, the temperature was even lower, and there was even a cold wind coming in. Shen Shao exhaled, “This snow is really falling without warning.”
Gu Ningzhao looked at the snow that was getting bigger and bigger outside, but didn’t speak.
After the two arrived at the meeting point, most of the people had already arrived, and the organizer’s staff had also arrived. When they saw the two of them coming, they also gave them a pair of gloves. The person in charge of purchasing gloves was probably a woman, because these gloves All kinds of animals are embroidered on the back.
What Shen Shao got were panda gloves that could never have color photos, and what Gu Ningzhao got were puppy gloves.
“The original plan was to take everyone to a nearby botanical garden, but unfortunately the heaven is not beautiful,” the staff looked at the snow outside, “Why don’t we all sit and chat, snacks and drinks are ready, I don’t know the students Do you have any comments?”
They can have any opinions, and even if they have, they will say no.
After waiting for everyone to arrive, the organizer took them to a large room with a TV on one wall, a long sofa on the other three sides, and a European-style coffee table in the middle, which looked a bit nondescript, but But more than 20 people can sit down.
“Everyone will go back to their school tomorrow morning. I hope that the five-day holiday in the resort will bring you a wonderful experience,” said a person in charge of the organizer, sitting with his back on the sofa, holding a With a steaming teacup, “No matter who the five finalists are to participate in the competition, all of you here are rare talents in our country.”
After the beautiful words, the person in charge finally detoured from the topic: “I believe everyone has heard about this competition, and as for the content of the competition, even we don’t know the content of the competition. “
“What is the real me, everyone here must have different understandings, and we don’t need to say more,” the person in charge took a sip of tea and looked at the twenty outstanding young people in front of him, “This international competition is completely closed. The duration is seven days. The contestants are composed of students from 18 countries. Your daily performance will be edited into a two and a half hour program under the supervision of the international jury, and then broadcast on the national TV prime time the next day. , In addition to the 18 countries participating in the competition, nearly 20 other countries have purchased the broadcast rights, and I believe you know what this means.”
After hearing these words, everyone in the audience felt a little heavy. Of course they knew what it meant, but knowing it didn’t mean that they would definitely be able to perform brilliantly.
If they do qualify, their words and deeds speak for the country. Success is glory, if failure is caused by one’s own improper words and deeds…
“If anyone in the room wants to quit now, after the tea party is over, they can tell the organizer privately, we will never tell anyone.” After the person in charge said this, his tone suddenly changed, “Today is to bring everyone Come to play, my middle-aged uncle will not disturb you, you young people communicate more together.”
After the person in charge left, there were only 20 contestants and two young organizers left in the room. Look at me, I look at you. After a moment of silence, one of the women said, “Why don’t we go first? Introduce yourself?”
Shen Shao glanced at the girl, who was the one who got off the elevator with them just now.
“My name is Zhu Yu, I come from TV University, and now I am a graduate student again. I will come out of the school gate in the future. Please take care of all the successful people here.” Zhu Yu sat on the sofa with a smile. Although she was not a particularly beautiful girl, her smile was like a crescent moon. eyes, it is easy to make people feel good.
After Zhu Yu made a start, the others followed and introduced themselves. Although some were cheerful and some were restrained, in general, the atmosphere was still very good.
There are young people in the audience, and there are topics to talk about. The dried fruit drink candy on the coffee table finally came in handy. Shen Shao peeled the melon seeds while listening to the interesting stories of the school from Senior Brother Ke.
When he heard the joy, there was a handful of peeled melon seeds in front of him. He looked at Gu Ningzhao in surprise, what is this for?
“It just happens to be boring, and I don’t like to eat it,” Gu Ningzhao said lightly, “You help me eat it, don’t waste it.”
Shen Shao: “…”
After eating the melon seeds that “can’t be wasted”, Shen and Shao threw the melon shells in front of them into the trash can, and picked up the empty beverage bottle next to the trash can.
“Shen Shao and Gu Ningzhao are both from Huada. Judging from the appearance of the two of you, it seems that you have known each other before?” Zhu Yu said with a smile, “I noticed you two handsome guys on the first day, if it weren’t for me than you两个大几岁,我又不爱姐弟恋,不然一定倒追你们两个。““师姐,在场还有别的师兄在呢,我怕到了明天我跟宁昭两人会被揍得没脸See you,” Shen Shao sighed, “Don’t you know that the man praised by the beautiful woman is the public enemy of other men?”
The smile on Zhu Yu’s face, who was complimented by Shen Shao, was even more obvious, her eyes swept over Gu Ningzhao, who was silent, and then looked at Shen Shao, “Don’t worry, all the brothers present respect the old and love the young. The good man you are, won’t do anything to you two children.”
The other brothers and sisters present laughed kindly. No one who can sit here is a fool, and they know that they may have a place to deal with in the future. It is better to make a good relationship than to offend one.
Who knows what kind of big people will appear among the twenty of them in the years to come?
International games are important, but they don’t have to offend anyone or be jealous of anyone to qualify. Jealousy is the biggest obstacle to success, and they can sit here today, which is a kind of success.
Although Shen Shao and Gu Ningzhao are the youngest two, no one dares to underestimate them. Many people even feel that there must be one of them in this competition, and it is even possible that both of them can participate in the competition. .
This thought had already occurred to someone after the third day, and now that they are sitting here, the feeling is even stronger.
“Senior brothers and sisters here are polite, Xiaosheng is considered respectful now, right?” Shen Shao got up and gave an ancient salute, which caused a group of brothers and sisters to burst into laughter, and even a few people took candy from the fruit bowl and stuffed it into Shen Shao , euphemistically called a welcome gift for children.
After a few laughs with these brothers and sisters, Shen Shao stopped stealing the limelight, and continued to sit quietly and listen to the brothers and sisters talking about interesting things in life or academic matters, and be a serious listener.
Appropriate flattery and good behavior can make people feel good, but if you do it too much, it becomes grandstanding.
Until the end of the tea party, everyone didn’t know who the last five places were, but they exchanged contact information with each other, which was the biggest success of the tea party.
However, he found that the lie that the brothers and sisters had stuffed into him seemed to be taken back into the fruit bowl by Gu Ningzhao accidentally.
The other party is a waste of life that he doesn’t know how to clean up, so he doesn’t blame him.
Shen Shao picked out two toffees from the fruit bowl, peeled off the wrapping paper, threw one into his mouth, and stuffed the other into Gu Ningzhao’s mouth.
The author has something to say: Gu Ershao: Xiao Shao, I’ll tie a scarf for you, okay (☆_☆)
Shen Shao: life skills scum who can’t even buy a scarf (╯-╰)/
Poor brain waves that are never in a line~
