I also want to stick with the bamboo horse today
Chapter 44 Model United Competition
Zhuang Wenyao originally wanted to find a place where no one was around to hide for the night, wasn't this exactly what he wanted?
"No problem!" He readily agreed, looking at his watch, "It's [-]:[-], when are we going?"
Chi Yi: "Get to the auditorium half an hour early."
Zhuang Wenyao: "Then it's time to go now! Wait for me to go up and put things down..."
Chi Yi grabbed him: "Don't go up, it's too late. Take it with you!"
Zhuang Wenyao hesitated for a second, but still felt that he could not delay Chi Yi's time. It would be bad if he was late: "Ah, okay."
Talking while walking: "Do you still have a rehearsal for the MUN competition?"
Chi Yi: "Exhibition competition. It is the performance on the afternoon of Christmas, and students who are free can go to see it. It can be regarded as a Christmas event."
"That's it," Zhuang Wenyao nodded, "It's pretty good. Our school hasn't had any activities for a long time, and I feel that there will be many people going there that day... Wait, I'm not the only one in your group of relatives and friends, am I?"
Chi Yi snorted: "How can it be, is Dad so unpopular? My classmates all went ahead of schedule, just to see beauties..."
Chairman of the MAU, senior sister Xi Yue.
"Oh." Zhuang Wenyao laughed twice, "Speaking of which, our radio station also has activities, and we will release a special Christmas program!"
Chi Yi also knew about this news. The Penguin account of the school radio and television station had issued a call for papers, soliciting students' Christmas anecdotes or messages.
"Are you going to broadcast that day?"
"Ok!"
"Then you may not have time to watch our scene, so you must not miss it this time, and you are not allowed to leave early!"
"Yes!"
When we arrived at the auditorium, Chi Yi wanted to help arrange the venue, and pointed to Zhuang Wenyao a position in the auditorium: "You sit over there with my classmates."
Zhuang Wenyao agreed, obediently carrying a bag of snacks and books to find a seat.Anyway, the seats in the auditorium are very luxurious, and there are folding tables. You can read books when you are free, and you won't waste time.
After going up a few steps, I found the place Chi Yi said. There was only one girl sitting in that row, and there were two vacant seats by the corridor.
Zhuang Wenyao didn't look carefully at who that person was, put his things on the inner seat, and sat outside.
At this time, the girl inside suddenly called out to him: "Student Zhuang Wenyao!"
When Zhuang Wenyao heard this voice, his heart trembled, and he looked at her stiffly: it was Mu Mian.
She smiled: "Are you coming to Xiaoyi's rehearsal too?"
"Ah... yes."
Zhuang Wenyao's muscles were stiff, he turned on the stress mode, straightened his back and looked up at the rostrum: Chi Yi was discussing something with the memory host, and sensed Zhuang Wenyao's gaze, ignoring the surprise and doubt in his eyes, and smiled meaningfully, He raised his hand and said OK: Dad not only created opportunities for you, but also prepared snacks!Isn't it sweet?
"?" Zhuang Wenyao's pupils trembled, and he suddenly understood what was going on.
But even if he doesn't want to sit here, he has already said hello, and it would be impolite to find another place to sit alone...
When she was in a state of confusion, Mu Mian's sweet girlish voice came again: "Student Zhuang Wenyao, can you take this?"
"Huh?" He turned his head, saw Mu Mian pointing at the snack bag on the seat between them, and reacted, "Okay! Do you want to go out?" Holding everything in his hand, he stood up to make room.
Mu Mian moved a seat outside and sat down, raised her head and smiled at him: "Okay, sit down quickly."
"???" Zhuang Wenyao went numb, and sat down resignedly holding the snack bag, and entered the old monk's trance state, clenched his fists unconsciously, and made a crisp noise when he touched the plastic bag.
Mu Mian was attracted and asked, "What is this?"
Zhuang Wenyao was quick-witted, and then he realized that he put the snacks on the armrest between the two seats, at least there was a little barrier: "Do you want to eat?"
Mu Mian glanced in, and said pleasantly, "There are so many delicious foods!"
"Yeah." Zhuang Wenyao turned around and sat upright again, with his back not touching the back of the chair, "You can pick whatever you want."
"Hmm..." Mu Mian sounded like she was choosing seriously, "There's popcorn! Can I eat it?"
"of course can!"
There was a rustling sound of unpacking, followed by a crunching sound. Mu Mian stuffed the popcorn into her mouth and chewed like a little squirrel eating nuts: "Well, it's so sweet! Zhuang Wenyao, come on!" Try one!"
Zhuang Wenyao repeatedly waved his hands and said indiscriminately: "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it. The lead content in popcorn exceeds the standard, and you will be poisoned!"
"..." Mu Mian was stunned for a while, and when she swallowed, she was choked by the hard crumbs of popcorn, and coughed violently, "cough, cough, cough..."
"Are you okay?" Zhuang Wenyao panicked, and frantically rummaged through the plastic bag, "I remember there was a drink in it... I found it!"
He unscrewed the cap of the soda bottle and handed it to her.But Mu Mian was holding a huge popcorn bucket in both hands, and she didn't know how to put it, and her face was flushed with anxiety.
"Give it to me!" Zhuang Wenyao hurriedly took the popcorn with one hand and offered the drink with the other.
In this situation, it was not right for him to stand by and help, but in a dilemma, he instinctively chose to help and was forced to get closer.
Mu Mian took two sips of soda, and finally suppressed her cough: "Well, thank you..." Maybe because she felt embarrassed, she stopped talking and sat silently like Zhuang Wenyao.
The time at this moment was dragged on for a very long time by the inexplicable awkward atmosphere between the two. When the rehearsal officially started, Zhuang Wenyao felt as if he had been pardoned.
Finally, I can concentrate on watching the meeting!
Senior sister Xi Yue, chairman of the Model Association, presented an opening remark with a standard London accent as usual, and then went through the process step by step.
Zhuang Wenyao knows that the MUN members are big bosses, but Xi Yue's level should only be attained by the seniors.However, after the official debate started, when the representatives of various countries spoke, his worldview was completely overturned: the standard pronunciation was completely insignificant compared with Zhuang Wenyao's Chinglish; his fluent speech instantly brought the audience into the atmosphere.More importantly, they have a confident and generous aura, without the slightest nervousness, and they complete their speeches one by one with a high and admirable attitude.
Language, for those who are proficient in it, is a handy tool.But for laymen, it is a barrier that cannot be ignored.
Listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English, the abilities of "listening" and "speaking" are bound together.Zhuang Wenyao is not good at speaking, and his hearing is not so good. He can only understand the names of a few countries during the roll call. At other times, he is basically confused and helpless when watching English movies without subtitles.
However, even if he couldn't understand the content, the tense and tense atmosphere among the representatives of various countries still gave him a feeling, like a frog at the bottom of a well who is shocked and speechless when he sees the big world when he hears a turtle describe the state of the sea. empowerment.
I must learn English well.
Must learn English well!
The meeting came to the most interesting informal debate, and then it really came to the highlight.
Representatives from various countries take turns to go into battle, and after your side sings, our side will appear on the stage.The performance of each representative is remarkable, and it is worthy of being an exhibition game with great viewing value.
At this time, a boy and a girl, the two representatives suddenly had a heated discussion on a certain issue.From the strengthening of the tone of voice at the beginning, to the current red-faced and red-faced arguing, the meeting was pushed to a climax.The two sides turned into long guns and short cannons full of ammunition, and took turns firing guns, tongues, swords and cannons at each other, using authentic English.
Chairman Xi Yue, who was watching from the sidelines, saw the scene where the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger. Not only did he not get angry, but he acted vigorously. He just made a symbolic reminder to "pay attention to meeting etiquette", and the two started a new round of debate.
Zhuang Wenyao was so curious that he subconsciously asked, "What are they talking about?"
Mu Mian was listening very seriously, but was interrupted by him unexpectedly, she was stunned for a while, and said, "The topic this time is how to resolve world trade disputes. The countries represented by the two of them have conflicts of interest recently."
Zhuang Wenyao nodded exaggeratedly: "Oh~"
Seeing this, Mu Mian burst out laughing, but the soft laughter was quickly lost in the debate among the country representatives.
As we all know, before this time, there should be a third party involved in the mediation, and Chi Yi is the peacemaker.
Although Chi Yi represents a neutral country, he has a strong sense of presence. His speech at the moment has the final word, which plays a role of harmony, confinement, and conclusion. Although it is not as eye-catching as the battle of the two representatives, it is still impressive. Impressive.
Until the end of the meeting, Zhuang Wenyao still had more to say.Although 80.00% did not understand, but being in this kind of environment is enough to make people excited and passionate.
After the meeting ended, groups of relatives and friends left one after another.Chi Yi smiled and talked to the representatives. He was supposed to be resuming the game. He waved to Zhuang Wenyao and the others, signaling them to leave first.
Zhuang Wenyao waved at her, left the table, and Mu Mian followed him like a tail: "Student Zhuang Wenyao, are you going back to the dormitory?"
He glanced at the time, it was ten minutes past nine, just 10 minutes after the evening self-study, most of the classrooms should have returned to the dormitory.But this time is not too late for hard-working children. There must be a few who are still sticking to their positions and continuing to study by themselves, such as Zhang Rui, such as Zhu Finance.
Zhuang Wenyao thought that it would be safer if there were only them in the classroom, so he said, "I want to go to the classroom and put down the books."
Mu Mian said: "Then I will accompany you, let's go together!"
"It's too cold tonight, you'd better go back early..." Zhuang Wenyao said, walking out of the auditorium with the flow, and when the door opened, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: covering the sky and covering the earth, boundless.
I don't know when, the light snow like sprinkled with salt turned into a heavy snow of goose feathers covering the sky, like catkins blowing up by the wind.The ground and the roof were covered with a layer of white blankets, and even the dead tree branches on both sides of the road were decorated in silver, making them extraordinarily enchanting.
"Wow!" Mu Mian beside him sighed in surprise, "What a big snow, so beautiful!"
The weather is beautiful, you can take a snowy night walk with your favorite people!
Zhuang Wenyao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you have an umbrella?"
Mu Mian smiled and shook her head: "No!"
Of course, it is only romantic if the head is full of snow, and the meaning is good!
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Wenyao, who didn't understand the style, said again: "The road is slippery in the snow, it's not safe for you to walk alone. Why don't you stay here for a while, and go back with Chi Yi when the snow is lighter?"
He was indeed thinking of her, but deviated from her intentions.Mu Mian was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but Zhuang Wenyao pushed the hat on his cotton-padded jacket on his head, waved at her and rushed into the snow curtain: "Let's go first!"
Mu Mian saw that his black back was particularly conspicuous in the snow, and as he walked farther and farther away, he turned into a small dot.Although he tried his best to hide it, his eyes still showed frustration and loss.
She lowered her head, drooped her two listless "tails", and went back the same way silently against the flow of people.
Sure enough, can't you keep it?
……
Sure enough, there were still those people in the classroom of Class 1, but Zhang Yeran was also there, sitting with Zhang Rui and Zhu Finance to do the problem, and when he saw Zhuang Wenyao coming back, he jumped up from his seat: "Brother Yao, you are back! Where are you going?" Already? Senior Lu Zhiheng has come to look for you several times!"
Zhuang Wenyao was shocked: "Lu Zhiheng? He came to find me?!"
"That's right, I came to wait for you at the door of the classroom before class was over, and I said you were not here." Zhang Yeran said, "You didn't tell me where you were going, they went to the radio station, the library, and your things. There are no classrooms. I came here again just now and said to wait for you downstairs in the dormitory... Hey!"
Before he finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry, leaving Zhang Yeran alone in the cold wind: "Oh, what a busy man!"
The author has something to say:
Zhuang: (Japanese drama run) The seniors will come to me?He really still cares about me, right?But with me like this, how can He De let the senior wait for me with his precious time?What a shame!No matter what this time, I must convey my heart to the seniors!Senior, in fact, I have always, always, always been to senior...
"No problem!" He readily agreed, looking at his watch, "It's [-]:[-], when are we going?"
Chi Yi: "Get to the auditorium half an hour early."
Zhuang Wenyao: "Then it's time to go now! Wait for me to go up and put things down..."
