Doing It Over Again - Chapter 48
When Shen Shao came to Gu Ningzhao’s room, he saw the uncle sitting upright on the single sofa next to him, reading a book, with his suitcase lying on the side alone, as if he had been forgotten by the owner.
“Won’t you rest for a while?” Shen Shao skillfully opened the password box. Anyway, the password of this box might be more familiar to him than the owner of Gu Ningzhao. Shen Shao neatly put the things in the suitcase away and shook the toothbrush in his hand, “The blue one is a soft toothbrush, the purple one is a hard toothbrush, don’t remember wrong.”
There is only one bathroom in this house, and personal items are not suitable for the bathroom, so Shen Shao simply put things in the corner of the desk and opened the window to let the sunlight in.
Although it was only about ten o’clock according to the time in China, but according to the local time, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon. He glanced at the sun that was about to set in the western mountains and yawned. He didn’t sleep well on the plane last night. OK, a little sleepy now.
“Sleep for a while,” Gu Ningzhao closed the book and put it on the shelf. It turned out that this was the original book in the room. “There may be other arrangements later.”
Shen Shao nodded, went out to greet the other three companions, and went back to his room to take a nap.
Not knowing how long he slept, he heard Gu Ningzhao calling his voice, opened his eyes and saw Gu Ningzhao sitting on the edge of his bed, he sat up while covering his forehead: “What time is it?”
“It’s half past five local time,” Gu Ningzhao handed a glass of water to Shen Shao, “Sober up, the Lord invites us to a dinner party, and we meet below at six o’clock.”
“Are all the players from other countries here?” Shen Shao took a few sips of water and felt that he was much more awake. He turned over and got out of bed to find the contestants’ special suits and put them on, with a dark blue bottom, white trim, and a stamp on the left chest. With the national emblem of China.
Shen Shao looked at himself in the mirror, straightened the bow tie around his neck, scratched his hair, and turned to look at Gu Ningzhao behind him: “How is it?”
Gu Ningzhao stared blankly for a few times before nodding: “Very good.”
The clothes they wore on the big occasion this time were all prepared by Huafang in advance. These customized clothes were made strictly according to their body size. The taste of the second male lead that the audience likes, as for why it is not the male lead, because the male lead is for the female lead.
Shen Shao smiled with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the sunlight outside the window, endured it, but still couldn’t, took off his jacket, and exhaled: “It’s too hot.”
Yesterday, I was wearing a cold jacket and a scarf, but today it’s summer-like. It’s too sour.
A white shirt, long legs, and a handsome appearance, for girls, such a man is a big killer, so when Shen Shao and Gu Ningzhao walked out of the room, Yuan Juan and Zhu Yu almost stared straight at them.
“If this competition is a handsome guy contest, I’m sure we can win the top three this time,” Zhu Yu looked at the two handsome guys younger than himself with a look of amazement. If Shen Shao was a boy in an idol drama No. 2, then Gu Ningzhao is like the male No. 2 in girls’ cartoons. With a delicate appearance, a slender figure, and a cold temperament that doesn’t like to talk, these two junior brothers are simply the best of the best.
It’s a pity… She is younger than her, she prefers men who are a few years older than her.
“Why not the champion?” Yuan Juan asked in puzzlement, recovering from the shock.
“Because there are three men in our group, not two,” Zhu Yu raised his chin, “and there is one who lowers the average.”
Mother Wenhua, a person who pulled down the level: …
He was actually pretty good-looking, at least above average, but he didn’t have the two enchanting companions next to him. He rubbed his chin and said, “Beauty, even if I’m not a big fish and a big meat, I can still be considered a porridge and a side dish. Bar?”
“Can you still see the porridge and side dishes in front of the full banquet of Man and Han?” Zhu Yu said in a joking tone, “The light of the handsome guy is too bright, I can’t see you anymore.”
Mu Wenhua thought for a while after hearing the words, and felt that the other party seemed to be quite reasonable, but he was unable to refute it.
“Let’s go.” Gu Ningzhao, who has always been silent, said, Zhu Yu and his mother Wenhua didn’t say much, sorted out their clothes and walked out behind Gu Ningzhao.
Don’t ask them why they are obviously a few years older than Gu Ningzhao, but inexplicably fear him, because they don’t know it themselves, the aura is too mysterious, and they can’t understand it.
Before going out, Shen Shao had already put on his coat. Before going out, he was dressed properly. This is the etiquette of Chinese people, and this is respect for others as well as for himself.
After they went out, they encountered the Mulberry team who came downstairs, and the cameraman who was guarding outside dutifully captured the scene.
People all over the world know that there is so much unfriendliness between China and Mulberry Island. At this critical moment, how could they not take pictures of this scene.
But the cameraman was destined to be disappointed, because there was no rudeness between the two parties. After greeting him politely, Hua Guo went downstairs first because he was closer to the stairs.
As for the players of the Kuangdao team, the cameraman couldn’t see what the male players were feeling, but he was sure that the two female players’ eyes seemed to glow when they saw the two male players in the Huaguo team.
After Shen Shao and his party went downstairs, the players from the Eighteen Nations quickly arrived. David, with a big smile on his face, welcomed the players with exaggerated body movements and language, and then brought them to the dinner party. .
Melodious music, silver-plated tableware, like a grand ball, people fall into the aristocratic atmosphere of Western Europe.
Shen Shao turned his head and glanced at the calm companions beside him, the corners of his mouth curved.
Gu Ningzhao, who was walking in front, looked back at him, and when he came to her side, he lifted his foot and continued to walk in.
Dozens of cameras are aimed at these contestants, and they seem to have a special liking for their dining etiquette. The cameraman’s beautiful hands are especially favored by the photographers, and the camera is always on the contestants’ hands.
There were adults present, so the organizer provided not only fruit juice but also fragrant red wine. However, the two girls, Zhu Yu and Yuan Juan, had no hobbies for wine, but they really liked freshly squeezed fruit juice.
Shen Shao found that several of the companions who came to participate in the competition this time were all from the Dingshi family. Although most of them were not particularly particular about their clothes, they were not much different from ordinary people, but the extravagance revealed by their behavior was not what ordinary clothes can do. disguised.
In his last life, in order to survive, he cultivated a pair of fiery eyes. Having money or not depends not on clothes, but on momentum and behavior, so these three unfamiliar companions must not come from any ordinary family.
In fact, as long as you think about it, you can understand that there are so many excellent people in the world. Even if your talent is good enough, if you don’t spend your energy to cultivate it, then time will gradually wear out your talent. Instead, let people bow their heads to reality.
There are always some inspirational stories on TV showing talented people from underprivileged families, but in fact, because these examples are very few, they are specially broadcast on TV.
Reality is often the place where fairy tales are shattered.
Halfway through the banquet, a band appeared on the stage, and a female singer who was not familiar to everyone stood on the stage and sang.
Shen Shao and others stopped eating, wiped the corners of their mouths and listened to the singing on the stage. After the other party’s performance, David appeared on the stage with an exaggerated smile on his face, “It’s a wonderful singing, thank you Julian performance.”
“In this wonderful night, I wonder if everyone is willing to perform for the other players?” David glanced at the audience, “It seems that everyone is very reserved, so we can only use the old method. “
A staff member came up to pass the lottery box, and David waved his hand and said, “We draw six teams out and let them improvise for us. What do you think?”
At this time, of course, no one objected to David’s opinion. Anyway, even if he objected, it was useless, because after David said these words, he grabbed six paper **** from it.
“Number three, number five, number ten, number twelve, number thirteen, number sixteen,” David said with an exaggerated smile, “Congratulations on your luck.”
The team of Shen Shao and the others is number five, so this means that they are in the second stage. The five exchanged a look, and Zhu Yu took the lead and said, “I can play the guqin.”
“I can play the lute.”
“I can play the flute.”
Shen Shao coughed dryly: “I only know a little piano, and I learned a little calligraphy and Tai Chi from my master.”
The four of them looked at Gu Ningzhao together, as if waiting for his choice.
“The three of you played “House of Flying Daggers”, Xiao Shao performed calligraphy, and I performed martial arts.” Gu Ningzhao made a quick decision. When they were on the plane, they received the intention of the Chinese side, that is, to show the Chinese culture as much as possible, so in this case, they can only choose the things that match the Chinese culture as much as possible.
Shen Shao nodded, and after telling the organizers what they needed, when they turned around, they saw the person in charge of Hua Fang and the team looking towards them in the corner.
In first place were the players from the United States, who performed a piece of rap music and won plaudits.
Fortunately, the organizers have prepared well this time, and even the traditional Chinese musical instrument Guqin is also prepared. Although in Zhu Yu’s eyes, the sound quality of this Guqin is not as good as his own, but in this case, it’s okay. .
In China, even if many people who have never studied music know about “House of Flying Daggers”, it shows how famous this piece is, and its difficulty is so high that beginners can’t control this piece at all.
As soon as the pipa sounded, it changed from slow to urgent, and then from rapid to slow, and the chilling air suddenly overflowed, but due to the intervention behind the guqin sound, the chilling was reduced to seven points, and the remaining three points became graceful.
Suddenly, the sound of the pipa and the flute suddenly stopped, and the sound of the flute started quietly, as if the wind was blowing in the bamboo forest, which made people find peace from the chill.
Taking off his coat, Shen Shao swiped and splashed ink on the paper, his wrist swirled with dragons and phoenixes, and a large Chinese character appeared on the paper. As soon as he put down the brush, he started in a Tai Chi posture, the pipa sounded again, and Gu Ningzhao, who was standing still, stood beside him. As soon as he started, as the sound of the pipa and the qin became more and more urgent, his martial arts movements became more and more urgent, which caused a burst of warm applause from the audience.
The flute sounded again, mixed with the sound of the pipa. It was not very conspicuous, but it could not be ignored. Under the rhythm of the flute, Shen Shao played a few classic Taijiquan moves.
One static, one moving, one urgent and one slow, they form a sharp contrast, but they are exceptionally harmonious.
When they finished the performance, the audience burst into warm applause again. David stepped onto the stage and sighed: “Oh my God, what a magical Chinese civilization, it’s shocking.”
The person in charge of the Chinese side breathed a sigh of relief under the stage. They did not expect that the five players would be so exciting for the first time, which made them both surprised and happy.
For the Chinese people, the victory in the first battle is really a happy event.
“Their excellence exceeded my expectations,” Director Wang watched as the five young men walked off the stage calmly, with the screams of several female contestants still ringing in his ears, smiled and whispered: “It seems that the original choice was is correct.”
“I heard that these families are not easy,” the people around him lowered their voices to the lowest level, “but the family called Shen Shao is the worst.”
“I think he’s doing well,” the person in charge Wang said with a smile, “I like this young man the most.”
The person next to him smiled and agreed, and he didn’t say anything more.
After all, everyone knows that both of his parents died when he was very young, so it is understandable that he is extremely satisfied with Shen Shao, who has experienced the same experience.
The person in charge of Wang did not explain, but he knew clearly that he valued Shen Shao not only because of his growth experience, but the most important thing was that he saw something in this young man that could only be given by time. This kind of thing will make people feel More rational and stable, but the other party is clearly a young man who is less than twenty years old.
Maybe it’s because the Huaguo team’s performance was too wonderful, so the performances of the latter two teams were a bit boring, and their hearts were full of yearning for Huaguo Kung Fu.
So after the dinner was over, several enthusiastic and cheerful foreign players went to Shen Shao and others to ask where they could learn the powerful Huaguo Kungfu. In this regard, Shen Shao said with a mysterious look on his face, true masters are hard to find, and in simple terms, it is fate.
Yuan Juan and several others watched the foreign players who had been fooled by Shen Shao and left with a look of admiration on their faces. At this moment, they felt that Shen Shao, the junior brother, was not easy.
The brothers and sisters are very powerful, what about them, the brothers and sisters?
The author has something to say: Gu Ershao: I am cool and noble in front of people, and Xiao Shao is coquettish and tired, and I am beautiful in my heart!ヾ(^▽^)ノShen Shao: My teammates are godlike teammates v(=^0^=)v
Teammates: The brothers and sisters are too powerful. How can the brothers and sisters maintain their self-esteem, urgent, online, etc.!
