The competition was postponed? Xin Rong was stunned. Wasn't it tomorrow? She was afraid that it would be too late, so she changed the original design.
"Yeah, it's changed to next Monday." Qi Qiqi came over. "Where's your work? Let me see it! "
Ah Miao covered her bag. "I still need to change it. You can see it later!"
"Okay, remember to bring the silkworms tomorrow." Qi Qiqi reminded her. "Have your silkworms formed cocoons?"
After more than a month, most of the silkworms they raised before had formed cocoons and come out of their shells. Of course, there were exceptions. For example, a silly girl felt that the temperature in her dormitory wasn't low enough, so she turned the air conditioner up high every day. Not only did she catch a cold, but many silkworms died before they could form cocoons.
"Mine have already come out of their shells and left offspring!" Xin Rong was a little proud. Her cocoons were cultivated very well. Every one of them was white and fat.
Qi Qiqi looked envious. "Alas, I have a few that are very small and yellow."
Zhang Jin packed her bag and glared at her. "Who told you to feed them wet mulberry leaves? You should be happy that they didn't die!"
"I only fed them once …" Qi Qiqi muttered. The three of them laughed and left the classroom.
When they got home that night, Xin Rong put her cocoons into a box. She buried all the dead moths in the front garden. She kept half of the hundreds of eggs and returned the rest to the school.
"Rong Rong, how do you turn this thing into silk?" Ying Cheng had never seen it before. He walked around her with curiosity.
Xin Rong organized and said, "Pull out the silk! Boil it in hot water and the silk will be soft. Then you can find the head and wrap it up. "
"So simple?" Ying Cheng reached out his hand. "Let me try one!"
Xin Rong stared at him. "Then I'll give you the smallest one."
"…" He began to believe Ying Wang's words. His cute sister was going to become a little monster.
Seeing her brother's hurt face, Xin Rong explained embarrassedly, "Um … um … I have a use for it. You'll know later."
Ying Wang was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper when he saw Ying Cheng and Xin Rong running in. Xin Rong was holding a cocoon in her hand.
"Brother Cheng, go get the induction cooker and pot." Xin Rong ordered him. Ying Cheng nodded and ran into the kitchen.
They turned on the induction cooker and boiled the water..
"Okay, now put the cocoon in."
Noticing that Ying Wang was watching from the side, Xin Rong turned her head and smiled sweetly at him. "Brother Wangwang, do you want to try?"
"Be good, I'll watch." Ying Wang rubbed his head, then glanced at Ying Cheng. "Keep an eye on him, or he'll be damaged."
Ying Cheng clicked his tongue. "How is that possible? Look at how well it's cooked!"
The cocoon softened under the heat and slowly spread out. Ying Cheng danced and shouted, "Can you take it out now?"
"Use this." Xin Rong gave him a small spoon.
The cocoon that had been fished out had become soft. Xin Rong carefully pried it open and found the end of the silk thread. Then, she quickly wrapped it around her finger. A few minutes later, a small ball of silk thread appeared in her palm.
"Broken?" Ying Cheng took it and looked at it. "Isn't it said that the silk of a cocoon can be very, very long?" The silk in his hand was in pieces.
Xin Rong said sadly, "It's normal. To make it, you have to cook it together with the cocoon." She pouted. "It's not really weaving anything. You don't have to be so cruel."
Ying Cheng was shocked. "Cook it together?" God, it was the first time he had heard of it. It was so disgusting.
"Okay." Ying Wang saw that Xin Rong was not in a good mood, so he stopped his stupid brother from showing off. "Go and pack up your things and go to sleep with your silk."
The next day, Ying Wang was a little worried when he sent Xin Rong to school. Ying Cheng asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I'm afraid that many students in her class will directly cook silkworms for grades." Ying Wang frowned and felt that he should talk to the headmaster about who approved such a cruel practical class.
Ying Cheng shook his head. "Come on, brother, this is normal. Rongrong is wearing silk, and I don't see any discomfort."
"What do you know?" Ying Wang glared at his stupid brother. "It's fine if you don't see it, but you'll feel pressure when you see it."
"Then what can you do?" Ying Cheng started the car. "Rongrong has to face life. There are too many cruel things in life. Don't tell me you're going to keep her locked up in an ivory tower? Then she will raise you to be a fool in the future. "
Ying Cheng didn't notice that his brother's face was getting darker and darker. He was still chattering. "She has to work in the future, right? She has to get married, right? Even if we don't need her to work, Rongrong will do what she likes! "
"Of course, if the guy who marries her dares to bully her, we will kill him first."
Ying Wang didn't say anything. His mind was full of the sentence that Xin Rong was going to get married. He felt uncomfortable as if there was a stone in his heart.
"Brother? Did you hear me? "Ying Cheng saw that he didn't respond for a long time. He turned his head and shivered.
God, he turned around like a cat. His brother was going to kill someone!
In the school, Xin Rong and her classmates began to draw silk.
"I let the cocoon fly out." Qi Qiqi whispered, "I think it's cruel."
Xin Rong nodded. "Me too."
Zhang Jin: "Don't look at me. I must be like you."
"Many of your classmates' cocoons have already broken out. This has a great impact on the quality of the silk." The teacher looked at everyone's cocoons and stood on the podium. "When we learn to weave silk, it will be very difficult for you to weave silk like yours."
Qi Qiqi whispered, "I think I will fail this class."
"No." Zhang Jin said confidently. "I have a way. I will teach you then."
Xin Rong was not worried at all. She had learned how to weave silk. It was just a broken silk. She had already thought of a way!
Steam rose from dozens of big pots. Xin Rong saw that her classmates were all drawing silk seriously. In a trance, she felt as if she had returned to the time when she was at home. The bell for the end of class broke her meditation. After the teacher left, she saw Wu Yue standing at the door and waving to her.
"Senior?" Xin Rong packed up her things and walked over. "You …"
"I have something to talk to you about." Wu Yue looked at her with a smile.
Qi Qiqi and Zhang Jin winked and ran away, leaving Xin Rong, who didn't know what to do. She instinctively took two steps forward. Wu Yue looked at the gap between them, which was big enough for one person to stand between them. He tried to lower his voice.
"I saw your advertisement."
Xin Rong was confused. "What's wrong?"
"Don't be nervous. It's like this."
Caesar Academy would choose a spokesperson every three years. The spokesperson would participate in various advertisements and events, representing Caesar's public image. To put it bluntly, it was a means of public relations.
"Isn't our school the best in the country?" Xin Rong asked curiously. She didn't understand why Caesar, which was already the best, still needed to promote.
Wu Yue was a little surprised. Logically speaking, every child of the Ying family was a genius. How could there be such a simple girl … Thinking of Ying Wang's love for Xin Rong, he understood a little.
The Ying family must have raised their youngest child as a princess.
"Actually, this is mainly for foreign countries." Wu Yue explained to her. "Caesar is not the Ying family. Oh, it is the brand your mother, Ms. Xin, created. It is an internationally famous aristocratic school. Ms. Xin has a cooperative relationship with the French Caesar headquarters. "
Xin Rong nodded. "I know that." She had seen it in the brochure.
"Every three years, Caesar Academy all over the world will hold a student exchange competition. They will draw lots to decide which two academies' students will exchange, and then a series of competitions will be held in the school with the local students. "
Hearing him say that, Xin Rong remembered the row of sculptures in the school's auditorium. Those were the representatives of the students who won first place in the previous competitions. Ying Wang, Asha, and Ying Chengdu were among them. "
"Your sister has been the spokesperson for three consecutive years." Wu Yue smiled. "That is to say, during her time in school, no one has ever replaced her position."
Xin Rong nodded. "Sister Asha is so amazing!"
"So, I want to ask you, are you willing to be the next spokesperson?" Wu Yue saw that she was stunned again and said amusedly, "This is not because you are a member of the Ying family. The spokesperson is voted by the entire school. Even the school leaders and the student union can't interfere."
So that's it. She bit her lip. "I am a freshman. No one knows me. How can they vote for me …"
Wu Yue's mouth twitched. No one in the school doesn't know you, okay?
"You actually already have the support of the masses." He tilted his head. "Did you forget the advertisement you shot before? No one in our school doesn't know. And now you have a better opportunity, which is the competition your school is about to hold. "
Xin Rong blinked. "I might not win."
"No matter if you win or lose, as long as you participate, you can create a topic." Wu Yue looked at her. "Every student union leader has the right to recommend one person. I recommended you, so you just need to compete well and leave the rest to me!"
The two of them had unknowingly walked to the school gate. Wu Yue felt a warning gaze directed at him.
"Brother Wangwang!" Xin Rong rushed over.
"Senior Ying." Wu Yue nodded and said to Xin Rong, "Think about what I said just now. I believe senior also wants you to participate."
Ying Wang pursed his lips and watched the kid leave. He turned around and pulled Xin Rong into the car.
"What did he say to you?" Ying Cheng saw that his brother's face was not looking good again. He felt that he had to go back and talk to Wu Yue, so as to not implicate the innocent him.
At the same time, in the office of the student union.
"Wei Wei, I heard that senior Wu recommended the young lady of the Ying family." Three girls were eating dessert around the table. One of the girls with a round face said discontentedly, "He knew you were going to participate, but he still recommended someone else."
Sitting opposite her was a very beautiful girl, but there was arrogance in her eyes. It was obvious that she was not an easy person to get along with.
"Nonsense, Wu Yue is not that kind of person. I am also a member of the student union. He can't recommend me! "
