The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 28 We! Are! The Champions!
Wu Xianyu didn't know what Deng Xiaoqi was thinking. In fact, he was too lazy to tell Qian Sanyi what she was thinking. He wished Deng Xiaoqi would take Qian Sanyi away, and it would be best if she could take him far away.

During this period, Qian Sanyi abided by his promise and ate vegetarian food every day. His relationship with Jiang Tianhao was not good, but at least it was not so stiff.

By the time Jiang Tianhao's leg recovered, a month had passed and the midterm exam was coming soon. During this period, Wu Xianyu turned into a learning machine again, and Lin Miaomiao also passively followed him in reviewing. This time, many people in the class followed Wu Xianyu's example and closed their eyes to rest before the exam, which almost became a landscape of Class 1, Grade 1.

Many people from other classes laughed at this group of people privately for being so superstitious and asking gods for help. But after the results came out, everyone shut up. There were more than 100 people in the class, and except for a few, their scores were all in the top in the grade.

As expected, Lin Miaomiao's grades dropped, but fortunately it was only the first place, which was within Wang Shengnan's acceptable range. However, she also kept nagging Lin Miaomiao for two days.

Tired of being told off, Lin Miaomiao directly brought up Wu Xianyu

"Mom, don't you see Xianyu? He's been relegated to fifth place, and he's not as anxious as you are."

"Of course I'm not in a hurry. He's not my son. Or do you want Xiaoyu to be my son?"

When Lin Miaomiao heard what Wang Shengnan said, she immediately panicked and wanted to cover Wang Shengnan's mouth. She turned back to look at Lin Dawei and saw her old father napping on the sofa. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Shengnan angrily.

"Mom, can you please stop talking nonsense? It's not true."

“It’s better not to have one”

Wang Shengnan looked at Lin Miaomiao's panic and Lin Dawei's reaction, and she already had an idea in her mind, but her daughter didn't seem to understand what she was thinking. So she decided to stop caring and let the two children develop freely.

Lin Miaomiao was relieved to see that her mother finally stopped nagging her. She wasn't sure if it was because her mother stopped talking about grades or because she stopped calling her a loser.

Wu Xianyu was on the phone with Uncle Liu at this time.
"Oh, don't worry, Uncle Liu. I know what's going on. Actually, my grades haven't changed this time. They're the same as last time. It's just that there are too many top students in the class. Lao Zhao even told me about this and told me not to be stressed. The college entrance examination will also be based on scores, not just rankings. Well, don't worry, I'm fine mentally. Okay, I'll go back and take a look during the holidays."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xianyu sighed. It had been a long time since he had felt nagged by his parents because of his declining grades.

Putting down his phone, Wu Xianyu picked up the guitar and sang while playing it.
"A long time ago, what would have happened if we had continued to love?
The last time I believed in eternity

After singing a song, Wu Xianyu was very satisfied. His guitar was already good enough to show off. Jiang Tianhao said that the school holds a party every New Year's Day. Why not show off his guitar skills then?
Before Wu Xianyu's anticipated New Year's Eve party arrived, another large-scale school event began - the school sports meeting.

During the break, after watching Lao Zhao announce the upcoming sports meet, Wu Xianyu turned to look at Jiang Tianhao with an expressionless face.

"Haozi, why didn't you tell me that there is such an activity in school?"

"You didn't even ask."

"Can't you just tell me if I didn't ask you?"

“I just found out about this.”

Wu Xianyu and Jiang Tianhao glared at each other. Lin Miaomiao watched them bickering with a smile. She found that Wu Xianyu was at a disadvantage in the argument, which made her feel better.

Finally, Wu Xianyu gave up first and lay back on the table.

"Forget it, I won't bother with you. I'm not participating in the competition anyway."

"That's not okay"

Jiang Tianhao walked up to Wu Xianyu and put his arms around his neck.
"There are only a few people in our class, and Lao Zhao is a strong-willed person. If we want to avoid being left behind by other classes in this sports meet, I'm sure everyone will have to sign up for an event. You'd better think about what event to sign up for so that you can use up less energy."

"Why didn't I realize you were so smart before?"

Wu Xianyu said this bitterly and began to think about which project would consume the least amount of energy.

As a result, before Wu Xianyu could figure out what project to sign up for, the station manager brought him some good news.
"Is it true, Station Master?"

Wu Xianyu stood up from his seat and looked at the webmaster in front of him. The webmaster, who originally looked too old-fashioned, now seemed cute to him.

"Lin Miaomiao and I will be responsible for the broadcasting duties, so we won't need to participate in the project."

"Yes, yes, don't get excited, sit down."

It was the first time that the stationmaster saw Wu Xianyu so excited, so he gestured for him to sit down.

"You two will be the narrators at that time. You will also have to read the notes sent by the students. They should all be words of encouragement. Don't read the nonsense. You should know what to expect."

After a pause, the stationmaster continued

"It's not that we won't be able to participate in the event, but we need to ensure that there is someone on the commentary desk. You can discuss it when the time comes and ensure that there is someone explaining."

Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao beside him

"Miao Jie, go ahead and don't worry, I'll be at the commentary desk."

Lin Miaomiao shuddered and moved her body to the other side in disgust.

The webmaster also laughed when he saw the two of them like this.

"It's mainly because you two have a good chemistry, and every time you broadcast you get a lot of feedback from students. Some even asked you to perform crosstalk on the radio station, but I turned them all down."

“It’s better to refuse”

Wu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief and gave the webmaster a thumbs up.

"I'm afraid something might go wrong during the performance. If Lin Miaomiao gets angry, she'll really hit me."

"Snapped"

Lin Miaomiao slapped Wu Xianyu on the shoulder. Wu Xianyu pointed at Lin Miaomiao and looked at the stationmaster.

"Look, it's time to start."

"Hahaha, that's enough. If you want to perform crosstalk, you two can wait until the New Year's Eve party to do it. I don't have anything else to do here. Anyway, you will know what to do by then."

Wu Xianyu returned to the classroom happily and told Jiang Tianhao the news.

Jiang Tianhao had no choice but to look regretful. He wanted to see what a salted fish looked like when it was exhausted. Lin Miaomiao did sign up for a women's 4*100m relay race, mainly because Deng Xiaoqi had dragged her to sign up. Although Lin Miaomiao didn't want to play with Deng Xiaoqi anymore, she couldn't just turn her face against him. She didn't have the strong heart of Wu Xianyu.

. . . . . .

Wu: Good morning, teachers and students!
Lin: The autumn breeze brings coolness and the rice smells fragrant. In this golden autumn full of harvest, all the teachers and students of Elite Middle School welcome our school's 2014 Autumn Sports Meeting with joy and high spirits.

Wu: On behalf of the school, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the successful holding of this track and field games! I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the teachers, students and staff who have worked hard to prepare for the games!

Lin: Here, I wish all the athletes to achieve excellent results! I wish this Games a complete success!
As Lin Miaomiao turned off the microphone in front of her, the two of them leaned back in their chairs and waited for the official start of the sports meet. Listening to the athletes' march that they had heard countless times, Wu Xianyu took a sip of water and looked at the mess on the playground.

“I don’t know when I can start my first project.”

"Why are you in such a hurry? There is no project for you."

Lin Miaomiao held the mouse and looked at the music playlist on the computer, thinking about what song to play next. Except for the entrance at the beginning and the ending at the end, the music in between would be sung by Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao, as long as it was not excessive.

"Listen to me, the first song I'm going to play is 'The Most Dazzling National Style' and it's guaranteed to warm up the place."

"Pfft, stop it, those are the music that my mom's generation liked, no no, change it."

"Let me think, let's go with something we like, Jay Chou, or something like that."

"How about a song called "Nunchucks"?

Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao with a helpless expression on his face.

"If this song opens the show, believe it or not, the school leaders will frown."

"Then come on, I rarely listen to these passionate songs"

"Then I'll come"

Wu Xianyu leaned in front of Lin Miaomiao and held the mouse. At this moment, Lin Miaomiao seemed to smell the scent she had smelled from Wu Xianyu before. She couldn't tell what the smell was, but it was very addictive. Although she was a little uncomfortable in her current posture, she hoped that this time could be longer.

Seeing that the first project was about to start on the playground, Wu Xianyu did not hesitate and pressed the play button.

"On this turbulent battlefield, the Storm Boy appears"

The lyrics of this song are simple, without any romantic overtones, the melody is uplifting, and the emotions are on point, making it a perfect warm-up song.

Wu: The sports meet has officially begun. Let’s follow the music and cheer for the athletes participating in the high jump!
Lin: At the same time, the triple jump event will also start in the northeast corner of the playground. Let’s not be stingy with our applause!
When there were no cheering notes coming, the two of them read the connecting words that the webmaster had given them earlier, and their work was relatively leisurely.

During the whole morning, several events were carried out simultaneously, which distracted the students in the audience and made the event not very lively. But after lunch, in the afternoon, the highlight of track and field sports came, which were all speed competitions. Because there was only one playground, each competition was carried out separately, which meant that everyone's attention would be focused on the track.

Wu: Hello, audience friends. What is going on now is the 100-meter sprint. With the music of "Chasing Dreams", we can see that the athletes on the track are ready and waiting for the gun to sound.

"pia~"

Lin: The starting gun has already sounded, and the athletes rushed out like arrows from a bow. Everyone was fighting very hard, and it was impossible to know who would be the first place until the last second.

"come on! Come on!"

Under the explanation of Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao, the students in the stands also became excited and shouted loudly to cheer for the people they knew.

As time went by, Lin Miaomiao looked at the upcoming schedule, turned off the microphone, stood up and said to Wu Xianyu
"I'm going to the competition, I'll leave this to you."

"OK, leave it to me and you can rest assured."

Wu Xianyu smiled and made an OK gesture. Lin Miaomiao felt something was wrong when she saw his smile, but the competition was about to begin and she didn't have time to ask questions.

Wu: Next up, the women's 4*100m relay race is going to take place. What?! The commentator is warming up!
Lin Miaomiao, who was warming up, heard Wu Xianyu's voice that was about to break, and she immediately clenched her fists. She knew that this man must be planning something bad.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, Lin Miaomiao felt her ears getting a little hot.

But the starting gun had already sounded, and as the fourth runner, she couldn't possibly run to the commentary desk and beat Wu Xianyu up.

Lin Miaomiao suppressed the matter for the time being and prepared to settle the score later.

Wu: Well, we can see that the first runners performed very well, and the gap between each person was not big. Oops, the student in the third runway made a mistake in handing over the baton, which delayed the time by less than a second, but it doesn’t matter, we can still catch up, don’t give up
After hearing Wu Xianyu's explanation, the principal nodded in satisfaction and said to the stationmaster:
"This guy is good, he is humorous and can comfort people"

The stationmaster was very happy that the person he brought up was praised by the principal. At this time, Zhao Rongbao came over and whispered

"Principal, this boy is Wu Xianyu"

"Oh? That's it. OK, I see. It seems like life in our school is pretty good."

When the principal heard that it was Wu Xianyu, he felt much more relieved. Unfortunately, Wu Xianyu did not let him feel relieved any longer, as the relay race had already reached the fourth leg.

Wu: It's the last leg. Oh! My partner, Lin Miaomiao, is running very fast. It doesn't look like she's competing, but looking for revenge. Could it be that there's an enemy at the finish line?
Wu: Wow, Lin Miaomiao has sprinted to the first place now, getting closer and closer to the finish line, ten meters, five meters, one meter, we’ve crossed the finish line! We! Are! The! Champions! Wuhu!!
Wu Xianyu was more passionate in his commentary, but the students in the audience had already stopped laughing. Lin Miaomiao even threw the baton and rushed towards the commentary desk.

Looking at Lin Miaomiao rushing towards him, he was not nervous or afraid. He was still explaining

Wu: I see that Lin Miaomiao hasn't stopped running yet. It seems that she has plenty of energy. I just wonder where she is going to run? Let's take a break and get ready for the next game.

After finishing his words, Wu Xianyu calmly turned off the microphone.

"Salted fish!!! Don't run!!!"

Lin Miaomiao's angry roar was heard, and Wu Xianyu sat leisurely in his seat without moving, quietly waiting for Lin Miaomiao's judgment.

The principal couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and the school leaders and teachers couldn't help laughing as well. The fatigue caused by the long game was swept away at this moment.

Wu Xianyu pressed the play button, and the sound of "A Thousand Years of Waiting DJ Version" came from the radio. The stationmaster looked at this scene with a bit of embarrassment, and wanted to explain something to the principal. Xie Weizhou waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you notice that the students are full of energy again? Wu Xianyu is very smart. He knows that people are most likely to fall asleep at this time. He uses his own method to cheer everyone up. Don't criticize him. Besides, students are young and active. Some energy is a good thing. Oh, and ask the person who filmed the video to edit the clip separately and put it on the school's official website."
