The history of the New York Girl contest could be traced back to the 1930s. It was said that it was a little trick to cheer up the depressed and hopeless young people during the economic crisis.
However, it had turned into an annual legal fight among the girls from prestigious high schools in the international metropolis of New York.
Especially for the honor of the girls from Brooklyn's famous high school, Lowbige, and Manhattan's best private high school, Fordham, who had been fighting against each other for decades, this was an even more tragic 'war'.
However, such a battle was meaningless to Zhang Lisheng. He looked at George expressionlessly and said, "George, your life can be more meaningful."
"We can talk about such a serious issue next time." George grabbed the backpack under the lab table and hung it around Zhang Lisheng's neck. He pulled him and ran downstairs quickly.
Lowbige Junior High's open campus was bustling, it seemed like everyone in the school had rushed out.
The focus of the crowd was on six beauties in exquisite low-cut gowns.
Three of them were waving at the young men who were watching in high spirits while smiling. The remaining three who were slightly older looked like snow beauties as they watched everything coldly.
"Hi, Felicia, you're the most beautiful girl. I love you."
"That's the Fordham Sisters. I've seen them in magazines, but they're even more attractive in person."
"It's them indeed. This year should be the last time the three sisters are helping Fordham's junior in the New York Girl contest. It seems like the gossipy girls in our school will be relieved next year."
"Are you crazy? You'll never get a girlfriend in Lowbige if the girls in our school hear this."
Being dragged into the crowd by George, various discussions entered Zhang Lisheng's ears. Looking at the young men around him who were shouting and yelling, it was obvious that they were secreting excessive male pheromones. He felt that it was a complete waste of time to be with them. To his surprise, he began chanting witchcraft incantation softly and began cultivating.
In the noisy environment, even George who was close to him did not notice that his mouth was opening and closing continuously. He was chanting strange and meaningless syllables.
However, coincidentally, someone noticed Zhang Lisheng's unusual behavior in the end.
"Good God, Sandy, guess who I saw?" Among the three ice beauties in Fordham, the blonde one who had the most exquisite facial features among them noticed Zhang Lisheng unintentionally. She took a few good glances at him and exclaimed softly to her two best friends next to her all of a sudden.
"Could it be that hypocrite Michelle hiding in the crowd to spy on us? No wonder she didn't come to defend the laughable honor of Lowbige Junior High girls …"
"No, it's not Michelle, it's Sheila. It's Venomous Worm. Do you still remember that I told you that I was almost killed by that idiot Henrick in the Western Sichuan Forest in China? Fortunately, a young hunter saved me …"
"Also, the young hunter had a centipede that was a hundred centimeters long and as thick as a platinum bag as his hunting hound. It moved as if it was flying in the primitive forest while chanting mysterious spells to keep the beasts and poisonous insects away.
Hello sister, Sheila and I have told you that it was just your imagination. You were too nervous back then, and Henrick said … "
"Trish, I've told you before that the coward Henrick pretended to have a blurred memory because of his reputation as a wilderness survival expert. He's just a braggart.
I'd like to remind you that it's best that you don't let him get close to your brother Henry. Otherwise, your family will regret it one day.
I was very rational back then and now. That young hunter named Venomous Worm really exists. He's in the crowd now, and I don't know why he seems to be chanting spells.
"Tina, this is New York, America. We're in Lowbige Junior High's campus.
Even if your young hunter exists, he should be on the other side of the planet that we're standing on … "
"Don't deny Tina just yet. My dear Trish, don't you think it's interesting if you think about it carefully?
Alright, sweetheart Tina, tell us, where's your little hunter? "
"Right there, that yellow-skinned boy," Tina lifted her arm and pointed at Zhang Lisheng.
Seeing what she was doing, the boys in the crowd who were in the direction that she was pointing at cheered for no reason.
"Lisheng, Lisheng, look, that beauty is pointing at us. She seems to be a famous rich girl …"
"George, let go of my arm, I'm really hungry," Realizing that he could not cultivate in such a noisy environment, Zhang Lisheng stopped chanting witchcraft incantation and said, "I'm going to eat a burger now and take a rest in the classroom in the afternoon.
You can continue to cheer for the New York Girls here and see if you can find a girl to be your girlfriend. "
"Oh, Lisheng, since when did you become so mean? The New York Girls are selected through a beauty contest, there's only one of them every year.
Go eat your burger, lonely man, I'll see you after school, "George said and let go of Zhang Lisheng's arm. He began clapping hard.
Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, walked out of the crowd with difficulty and walked to the school cafeteria. He did not notice that his figure was in the eyes of the three most dazzling girls in the school.
After eating the burger, Zhang Lisheng and George had their mathematics and literature class in the afternoon. They rode their bicycles to Dan Souza Butcher Shop.
George, who was wearing thick clothes like a polar bear, stepped on the bicycle strenuously and said while giggling, "Lisheng, young man, it's hard for me to imagine that Madam Lili would allow a little baby like you to work until night time in such cold weather."
"That's because of Uncle Lavin's persuasion. In the end, mom thought that boys need some training indeed."
"What a cold stepfather, hah!"
"Lavin is only my mom's partner from the perspective of the law and reality, he's not my stepfather."
George paused for a moment and sighed before answering his own question, "Friend, do you know what you lack the most?
Emotions, you should speak with more emotions. Don't always have a poker face, it makes me feel like I'm talking to a robot … "
"Shut up," Zhang Lisheng said loudly while frowning.
"That's right, I feel much better now."
The usual 20-minute journey took them half an hour this time. When they arrived at Dan Souza Butcher Shop, they realized that there were very few customers. It was clear that the housewives were reluctant to go out in this weather where the snow had just stopped.
Just like that, he did his business sporadically until it was seven o 'clock at night. Zhang Lisheng said goodbye to George who never asked about his friend's privacy. After feeding Mountoad, he rode his bicycle and went home alone.
It was extremely cold at night in New York during winter. As soon as the pedestrians on the streets exhaled, they condensed into clouds of white mist. New clouds appeared as soon as the old clouds dispersed.
Zhang Lisheng did not feel too cold as he rode the bicycle all the time. However, at an intersection, he sat on the saddle with one foot on the ground. When he was waiting for a red light, a bone-chilling wind that was mixed with fluffy snow suddenly blew past, causing the remaining heat in his body to be depleted.
The cold sweat made Zhang Lisheng feel like he had fallen into an ice cave. He sneezed six to seven times in a row, 'Achoo, Achoo …'.
He shrunk his body and sniffed. Trembling, he muttered to himself, "Sh * t! When can I make a breakthrough to become a Rank-6 Wizard? I'll definitely transform a strong wizard gu first so that my body won't be so thin anymore …"
When Zhang Lisheng was speaking, a Cadillac extended SUV stopped next to him all of a sudden.
The window was opened, a blonde girl waved while smiling and said loudly from the driver's seat, "Hi, Mr. Venomous Worm, do you need help? Do you want to get in the car to warm yourself up?"
It was a little out of place for a girl to drive a large, luxurious SUV. Moreover, she called him out of the blue, which stunned Zhang Lisheng.
However, he soon recalled the origin of the name 'Venomous Worm'. 'Sh * t!' He said while pretending to be at a loss, "Huh?"
Controlling a venomous worm was always a very eye-catching and abnormal thing. It was fine for him to show it in front of foreign passersby but it would be terrible if they became his acquaintances or even friends.
"Mr. Venomous Worm, your acting now is as clumsy as when you pretended to be old when we met in China.
The red light is going to pass soon, you're shivering so badly. Get in the car to warm yourself up at the next street. "
"It's alright, thank you." Seeing that the green light was on, Zhang Lisheng who knew that he could not hide from this sensitive girl at all rode his bicycle and sped forward.
Unfortunately, the speed of a human drive could never be compared to a high-powered engine. Soon, Tina caught up to him.
She slowed down and said to Zhang Lisheng walking side by side, "Get in the car, Mr. Venomous Worm. I know that you're a student from Lowbige Junior High and you're working at Dan Souza Butcher Shop …"
Zhang Lisheng was shocked and stopped his bicycle. He put his hands behind his back and touched the backpack on his back. He looked at Tina coldly through the car window and asked, "How do you know so much about me?"
"I saw you by accident at Lowbige Junior High today. It wasn't convenient for me to greet you so I got someone to follow you after school.
In reality, I wanted to thank you officially when I got back to China but because of that despicable Henrick who wanted to shirk his responsibility, my family didn't believe what happened to me in the Western Sichuan jungle. My dad confiscated my passport too … "
Zhang Lisheng's attitude softened after hearing Tina's explanation. However, he said in dissatisfaction, "Wait a minute, did you get someone to follow me?"
"Get in the car, we'll talk after you've warmed up."
Zhang Lisheng sneezed again and said with a straight face, "Miss, I should've gotten the police to arrest you.
But I'll forgive you for following me since you're sincere in thanking me. But remember, there won't be a next time. "He pedaled hard and turned into an alley at a fork. Soon, he was far away.
In the fluttering snow, the Cadillac SUV did not chase after him this time.
