After rebirth, I still experienced a mess

54 Burn the Boats

Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, the Dean of Studies and the Student Union representatives arrived in time. After hearing the whole story, the Dean made a decision on the spot: "Students should focus on their studies. Winning only in singing and dancing will not convince the public. So, let's have a singing, dancing and poetry competition. The Student Union will immediately send out a notice that other counties and districts will also have poetry competitions."

Damn it. They are all people who just want to watch the fun and not be afraid of trouble.

"What if one of them loses and the other wins?"

The student union representative said nonchalantly, "That's easy. Let's have another math competition. Each side will send five representatives, and the winner will be determined by the total score."

The director seconded the motion: "That's it. Best of three games is the best. Notify all districts and counties to compete together."

Day. Things are getting more and more complicated.

Yinmei finally expressed her opinion: "Let's compete in singing, dancing and poetry first. If we can't decide the winner, our two counties will decide the winner in mathematics. Even if we decide the winner, we will both participate in the mathematics competition, but it will not affect the outcome of the two counties. We will only compete with other counties."

The director said, "That's what I mean. If there's no objection, then it's settled."

Yinmei said: "We have a condition. Since this is an art competition between counties, we can only perform original programs from our county. No other programs are allowed."

The people of West County cheered immediately: "When the counties compete, they naturally have to perform their best performances. Stealing others' is nothing."

"Some places don't have their own literature and art, they only steal and borrow, they are essentially literary thieves."

"That's right. If they don't have their own original work and make a fool of themselves, I can only admire their nerve."

The director agreed: "This is a good request. The student union will notify everyone immediately. If there is no original program from this county, they will automatically admit defeat."

Xiao Wei thought to himself: They really have bad intentions. It will be extremely difficult for Haicheng to win.

The two parties returned to their respective activity rooms to discuss. Several male fellow villagers came to ask Xiao Wei to join, but was rejected. Of course, they did not go to the Haicheng hometown association, but took Gui Xiu and Wen Yan home.

On the way, Guixiu asked who would win, and Xiaowei sighed, "I don't understand math. In terms of song, dance and poetry, Haicheng will lose 90% of the time."

Guixiu was puzzled: "Aren't Biyu and Luzhu's poems very powerful? How could they lose?"

Xiao Wei said: "As far as I know, the poetry of Biyu and Luzhu can only beat the top five in Xi County at most. But there is a great man named Mao Tongxian in Xi County, and even the two girls combined may not be able to beat him."

Gui Xiu shouted, "Fuck! There are still such talents in Xi County."

"But that guy is arrogant and very low-key. He doesn't get involved with any party and most likely won't participate."

"Then you have to do something and never let him participate."

"I can't. It's Luzhu who has to do it. I feel like he and Luzhu are a perfect match."

Gui Xiu was relieved: "That's good. But doesn't the singing and dancing have any hope of winning?"

Xiao Wei nodded: "Zero hope."

"I just wrote this this morning and it hasn't been made public yet. I can say it's from Haicheng, isn't that okay?"

"That's it. No matter how well you sing or how smoothly you dance, it's not on the same level as them."

Wen Yan seconded the proposal: "I saw Yinmei and her group dancing to Mountain and Blood in the dance studio. It was really good. The movements were compact and powerful, and the battlefield was portrayed vividly, enough to wipe out the other counties without leaving a single piece of armor."

“Is it that powerful?”

Xiao Wei sighed, "It's true."

Gui Xiu put out her anger: "Can't you make up a story that can suppress them?"

Xiao Wei smiled bitterly: "No."

"Are they better than you?"

"That's not the case."

"Then why are you afraid of them?"

Wen Yan asked: "Could it be that you choreographed that dance move?"

Xiao Wei nodded: "It's impossible for me to defeat myself, at least not in the short term."

Gui Xiu was so angry that she yelled, "Fuck, what the hell is this?"

Xiao Wei almost fainted from anger: "I didn't expect this to happen."

Wen Yan said: "They asked that only original works from their own county be performed. They just didn't want Haicheng to perform the same show as them."

Just when I was feeling discouraged, Biyu came back with a few fellow villagers, and they guessed that it was indeed the same as Xiaowei. It was easy to prevent Mao Tongxian from participating. Poetry and mathematics were equally matched, so we could only rely on improvisation. Singing and dancing were definitely out of the question.

Seeing everyone dejected, Gui Xiu stamped her feet anxiously: "Hurry up and think of a solution. I really don't want to see them being so arrogant. The point is, you built this nuclear weapon. Now let them use it against you. Are you willing?"

Xiao Wei laughed: "How can this be called dealing with myself? Don't forget, I am also from Xi County. If Xi County wins, I will be proud. If I lose, I will also be denigrated. We must not lose our principles and positions."

"Tsk. Do they consider you as a fellow countryman?"

"Most people consider me a fellow countryman. A few bad apples are not a reason for me to be a traitor."

"You. You can't tell good from bad." Gui Xiu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Xiao Wei didn't care at all: "It's not an enemy conflict. I don't want to offend most of my fellow villagers for a few clowns. If I don't get involved, I'm already helping Biyu and the others."

"Okay. Sorry for saying too much." Guixiu said, and walked out angrily. "We can't be friends anymore. We're done."

Xiao Wei waved her hand and said, "Please go ahead. Being angry about this is meaningless even if we force ourselves to date."

Wen Yan followed Gui Xiu and pretended to be a good person: "It's not Xiao Wei's fault. He would offend anyone he helped. Besides, there's no way to help."

Gui Xiu sneered: "Is it interesting to be a fence-sitter?"

Wen Yan blushed: "How did this get to me? You mean well, but Xiao Wei is helpless. Can't we understand each other?"

"No. I'm not two-faced."

Wen Yan opened her mouth, but she held it back. The two of them also parted unhappily.

Xiao Wei said coldly to several of Biyu's fellow villagers: "Why don't you leave? Are you going to sleep here?"

After having dinner alone, I came back to find that Biyu and Luzhu were gone. They were probably discussing countermeasures. After washing up, I sat at the table to drink tea and eat melon seeds. I opened a book but couldn't concentrate. I cursed myself for not making progress and letting such a trivial matter affect my mood. I felt that I had lived my life in vain.

It was past nine in the evening when Biyu and Luzhu came back, looking listless, obviously not having thought of a good solution. Seeing Xiaowei waiting, she was a little surprised. Biyu reluctantly asked, "Sister, you haven't slept yet?"

Xiao Wei asked back: "Do you really want to win?"

Biyu was stunned, and Luzhu immediately jumped over and hugged Xiaowei: "I know. Sister must have more good songs."

Biyu turned sadness into joy: "As long as singing and dancing can win, poetry will be confident enough to win."

Xiao Wei smiled bitterly: "I do have a semi-finished product, but it has never been made public. There is no guarantee that I can beat them, but if I practice well, it will be enough to compete with them."

Luzhu quickly flattered him: "It is impossible that the things of my sister's relatives are defective. If you dare to say so, we have an 80% chance of success."

Biyu hurriedly took out paper and pen, rubbed her hands, and prepared to start working.
