"It's snowing."

Jiang Shi stretched out a hand, and the snowflakes melted in her palm instantly, leaving a trace of coolness.

She was wearing the coat that Ran Ran picked yesterday, with a beige knitted sweater tucked inside.

With a scarf around her neck, she didn't feel cold.

Tao Zhenzhen exhaled and patted the snowflakes on her down jacket.

"It didn't seem to be snowing heavily. I thought I would see a thick layer of snow when I woke up."

"As long as it snows for a long time, it can also pile up very thickly. Unlike in the south, the snow may have melted when it falls to the ground." Wang Miao explained on the side.

The next day's competition was in the morning, and a group of them were gathering in the hotel lobby for breakfast.

Several boys and Professor Xia discussed the questions they might encounter today.

The girls gathered at the door to enjoy the snow scene outside.

Jiang Shi leaned against the door frame, looking a little lazy.

I went shopping with Ran Ran and the others until eleven or twelve yesterday, and my mind was still not very clear.

Jiang Shi was chewing his breakfast while quietly listening to the two chatting.

His eyes stayed on the entrance of the venue not far away.

A man and a woman were standing face to face. Judging from the certificates hanging on them, they should be contestants in the competition.

"Yufei, which topic did you choose yesterday?"

If Jiang Shi had not been so devoted yesterday, she would have recognized that this was the boy who handed in the paper first.

But the girl looked uninterested and just replied casually: "Ji Shijie, I don't know you well, don't call me that."

"If you get to know me better, you will be familiar with me. I have heard your name many times."

Although he was turned down, Ji Shijie was not angry at all.

From childhood to adulthood, the name Ning Yufei has always been on his mind, no matter which competition he participated in.

She is a talented woman in the mouths of her parents and friends, and a genius who has won various awards.

But Ji Shijie has never given up chasing her figure, even if he has to use some tricks, it doesn't matter at all.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in you."

Ning Yufei frowned, and was very annoyed by Ji Shijie's nonsense.

"It doesn't matter, you will hear my name again on the award list soon."

Ji Shijie was full of confidence. He had already secretly won over several judges through his family's relationship.

Winning by trickery is also a victory.

He wanted to see Ning Yufei's expression when she saw him win the championship.

How could a foreigner who couldn't even go to Huaqing High School always step on her name?

Seeing Ji Shijie's confident look, Ning Yufei didn't give him a good look at all, and turned around and left.

She had heard some rumors about this young man, and the two often participated in Yanjing literary competitions, so they were old rivals.

The other party's personality was like a dog-skin plaster, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Sister Jiang Shi, what are you looking at?"

Wang Miao saw Jiang Shi looking at the distance, and looked over curiously.

"I saw someone flirting with a pretty girl, but he got rejected."

Jiang Shi's eyes were also retracted as the two walked into the venue.

"Okay, everyone has finished eating, and we are ready to go."

Xia Chengfei clapped his hands and asked a few people to follow him.

Compared with yesterday, the atmosphere in the venue today was much more lively.

There were also many people sitting in the judges' seats, of course not all of them were from the competition jury.

Some of them were attracted by the big names in the literary world.

Some of them came here on a whim to join in the fun, and some were specially brought in by the organizers of the competition to increase their weight.

Some of them, like Ye Qiuyu, came here to find young writers they could bet on.

The big names who knew each other were chatting and laughing upstairs, and the contestants below were also chatting in groups of three or two.

I didn't know, and I thought there was a party here.

After a while, Cai Linshan announced the topic this time.

"It just so happens that the snow in Yanjing came a little late this year, so let's write a poem on the theme of snow!"

"Both ancient and modern poems are fine. I hope that students can use their imagination!"

"We will announce the outstanding works on the spot."

For most students, ancient poems are still limited to the stage of recitation. It is actually not easy to ask them to write one by themselves.

Level and tone, rhyme, poetic intention, sentence pattern and parallelism are all things that need to be considered.

If you go deeper, there are too many things that can be tested.

Modern poems are a little simpler, focusing on the beauty of words and the expression of emotions.

There is a lot more room for operation here.

Adding the thinking time, the time for the contestants to create this time is much shorter.

After all, a modern poem is onlyA few hundred words, and writing ancient poems is even shorter, just four or five lines.

A copy of the manuscript was also sent to the judges.

"I woke up from my sleep, the night was still long, I turned tired in the hall and got tired of the bed."

"The bright reflection in the window is the moon, and the coldness scraping my bones is not frost."

"Good poem! There is not a single word of snow, but every word is about snow!"

An old man was holding the manuscript in his hand, looking very excited.

The judges around him also turned their heads, and some stood up and walked to the old man.

"Not bad, I didn't expect that there was such a master among this class of students."

Some people nodded and agreed, praising him endlessly.

"The name is... Jiang Shi, do you want to call him over to chat? I really want to see someone who can write such a poem."

Cai Linshan glanced sideways, it was Jiang Shi again, this name appeared very frequently in the competitions in the past few days...

At this time, Jiang Shi had taken Miss Tao for a stroll outside.

As she was walking, she saw a girl who was surrounded by people like a star.

It was the girl she saw being approached in the morning.

"Who is this? She looks famous?"

At this time, Miss Tao said with a complicated expression: "I know, Ning Yufei, the boys were talking about her yesterday."

Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows: "She is so famous, could she be the little princess of Beijing?"

"What are you thinking? She is called the 'young talent of Yanjing' and has published articles in many famous literary magazines."

"She has won many awards in various essay competitions and essays."

"Oh~" Jiang Shi nodded, and understood.

At this time, Ning Yufei also saw Jiang Shi staring at her.

She smiled casually and walked towards Jiang Shi.

Tao Zhenzhen pulled Jiang Shi's clothes and reminded him: "Hey, she is coming towards us!"

"Why are you panicking? She can't eat you."

Jiang Shi did not move. It was the first time she met the other party.

"Hello, classmate Jiang Shi, I like your poem "To the Oak Tree" very much, it's really well written."

For a moment, everyone around Ning Yufei looked over.

"Is she Jiang Shi? She must be very happy to be recognized by Sister Ning."

"It's just a poem, maybe it's just good luck."

"This is the first time I heard Ning Yufei praise someone, damn, why don't I get such treatment."

The people around Ning Yufei are naturally familiar with her.

Some people don't care about Jiang Shi, while others cast curious eyes.

Ji Shijie looked at Jiang Shi. He also learned about this person from Ning Yufei.

I think she is just a little girl with good luck.

Jiang Shi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Just writing casually."

"I hope your poem today can be of the same level." Ning Yufei also nodded.
