The competition was about to begin, but the organizer, Ai ShuQiao, was nowhere to be seen. I looked around the venue suspiciously and bumped into Professor Bai, who was testing his voice with a wireless microphone.
Professor Bai was wearing a suit and a pair of small round glasses. He looked hale and hearty, but the colorful bow tie around his neck was too bright, making him look like a wedding emcee or a variety show host.
"Aren't you under house arrest?" I asked Professor Bai in surprise.
Professor Bai nodded, then shook his head and replied: "Ai ShuQiao ordered me to be released this morning. She wants me to be the emcee for the competition. She said the staff here are all followers of the Scientific Happiness Church, so I'm familiar with them. It'll be easier to maintain order if I'm in charge — — I don't really understand what's going on."
I frowned: "Ai ShuQiao isn't afraid you'll run away?"
Professor Bai smiled bitterly: "My son Fang Xin is with Ai ShuQiao. I can run, but I can't run. Fortunately, she didn't force me to do anything too excessive. I'm very experienced in hosting public events. Let's put down our burdens today and enjoy a free Christmas party! "
A green turtle head popped out of Professor Bai's chest pocket. It was Professor Bai's pet smiling turtle, Da Vinci. This stupid creature seemed to have a mind of its own. It swayed its head back and forth along with the light music in the hall. It amused me even though I was nervous.
At this time, Professor Bai's confidant in the Scientific Happiness Church, Hu Xianyong, came over. He used to be Gong CaiCai's math teacher during the summer class. Now he was a middle level member of the Scientific Happiness Church. He took care of Gong CaiCai and Xiao Qin when they were undercover.
Now he was wearing a pink suit and a pink tie. He looked more like a wedding emcee than Professor Bai. It seems he would be Professor Bai's assistant to host the competition.
"Professor Bai, the people in Zhonghai are eating fruits before they eat. They're asking when the main meal is — — what do you think we should do?"
Professor Bai held my wrist that was wearing the smartwatch and raised it to look at the time.
"It's 7: 43 now. I'll announce the start of the competition in about ten minutes. After explaining the rules, you can instruct the kitchen to serve the food in batches. Everyone is free to take whatever they want."
I heard the French chef Pierre is the head chef of this competition. He is an omnipotent chef in the world of chefs, but he always feeds Ai Mi, who eats very little, and is always despised. This time he has to feed over three hundred people, which ignited his passion like the French Revolution.
Before Professor Bai left, I asked him, "Why are there so few people in Zhonghai? I think it's only half of our class, right? "
Professor Bai followed my gaze and looked at the blue camp on the west side. Sure enough, it was sparse. Often, a student occupied several empty seats.
"Hmm, the principal of Zhonghai, Liu Qianpeng, cheated in the drawing of lots and brought in the top ten masters of Zhonghai. Ai ShuQiao felt that it was unfair, so she reduced the total number of participants. Your QingZi High School has 32 participants, but they only have 20, 15 boys and 5 girls. "
After listening to Professor Bai's introduction, I understood that Zhonghai's main goal this time was to obtain victory in all of the "martial arts competitions". Other than the Top Ten Experts of Zhonghai, the other participants also seemed to be specialized in sports. Only a pair of lovers who were glued to each other had eyes that emitted a light of intelligence. It was probably a secret weapon prepared to not fall too far behind in the martial arts competitions.
"What events are there in the competition?" I lowered my voice and tried to get the questions from Professor Bai.
"I don't know." Professor Bai replied with a bitter face, "The questions were randomly calculated by the black holy infant and then sent to my phone. I reckon the questions will change as the competition progresses."
It seems like there was no problem with keeping it entertaining, but what was Ai ShuQiao planning? If this competition was just to facilitate her company's money laundering, why did she take it so seriously?
At this time, the number one master of Zhonghai, Wei Yu, walked towards me. Professor Bai knew Wei Yu had something to say to me, so he bowed slightly and walked towards the center of the venue with his assistant, Hu Xianyong.
"Ye Lin, our school's principals don't get along, but let's not hurt our relationship. Friendship comes first, competition comes second."
Wei Yu was my playmate back in the days, so he wasn't polite at all. He heavily patted my shoulder as he spoke.
"I'm sorry." I replied, "Of course I don't want to hurt our relationship, but I have a reason I have to win today. I can only offend you on the basis of not going too far. "
Wei Yu paused, then he carefully searched the hall and seemed to have realized something.
"What, who did you make a bet with this time? Don't tell me you have to drink Fu Yan Jie after you lost! After your middle school classmate Niu ShiLi came over, a lot of people on your side remembered how you two drank Fu Yan Jie. Even our side knows about it. "
I blushed and lowered my head: "You can think of it as me making a bet with someone else. Anyway, I won't get the answer I want if I don't win this competition. I'm the substitute class leader of Qingzi High's class 2-3. I'm afraid I can't play 'friendship comes first, competition comes second' with you. "
"That's fine." Wei Yu shrugged, "But I'm still the number one expert in Zhonghai. I can't just hand the victory to you just because you want to win. Otherwise, our principal Liu Qianpeng wouldn't forgive me."
"Don't hold back, let's go all out." I said with a smile, "Our Principal He Qimei is determined to defeat your Principal Liu Qianpeng even at the cost of her own life. We students might as well be cannon fodder for our Principal. As long as we restrain our subordinates and compete openly without using underhanded methods, no matter who wins or loses, it shouldn't affect the relationship between the two schools in the future."
"That's right." Wei Yu patted my shoulder again, "You're a very reasonable person. You've become more and more eloquent recently. You have such a glib tongue. I remember that I once wanted you to be my best man at my wedding! Unfortunately, you're a bit taller than me, so you'll steal my limelight … "
My facial features scrunched up in the middle of my face. I said vigilantly, "When did you ever think about making me your best man at your wedding? The reason you wanted me to be your best man is because you think I'm uglier than you. Don't think you're that good looking. "
"Plop!" "Aiya!"
Wei Yu and I turned our heads at the same time in the direction of the miserable scream. We saw a petite high school girl with a chest that wasn't petite at all fall flat on the wooden floor not far from us.
I smiled wryly and helped Gong CaiCai up. The girl with 1/16 of the minority bloodline with natural curls looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Her nose hurt from the fall.
"I'm sorry. I've troubled you classmate again. I saw the class leader's arm was hurting, so I wanted to help her get some fruits, but I fell down before I even reached the dining car … I'm useless. Why is a useless person like me still living in this world! "
Wei Yu saw how silly Gong CaiCai was and was just about to go up and talk to her when Zhuang Ni, who was behind Gong CaiCai, took a step forward and stood between the lecher and the ignorant girl.
Zhuang Ni first glared at Wei Yu, making the number one expert in Zhonghai feel uncomfortable, then she turned her sharp gaze towards me.
"Ye Lin, what are you chatting about with the enemy's general? Don't forget you're also the substitute class leader, and don't forget our mission tonight. "
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb your meeting." Wei Yu tactfully stepped back and said to Gong CaiCai with a smile: "Goodbye, pretty girl."
Gong CaiCai's cheeks immediately blushed after being praised. She was not good at communicating with men, but her good upbringing did not allow her to be impolite. She was at a loss as to what to do and bowed to Wei Yu. In a very small voice, she replied, "Goodbye, enemy general …"
"Why isn't there any meat on the dining car?" Red Rose, who was sitting right behind Xiao Qin, asked. Yellow Rose and Black Rose also complained. It seemed that the Rose Three Heroes were all hungry.
"Don't speak so loudly." He Ling sat near the Rose Three, "Don't you know you'll embarrass sis Qin in front of so many people?"
The audience learned a truth from Stephen Chow's' Tang Bo Hu Points to Autumn Fragrance ': beauty is determined by comparison. He Ling's looks were only so-so because she was used to seeing Ai Mi, the class leader, and the others. But at this time, the Rose Three acted as a foil for He Ling. As long as they stared at the Rose Three for half a minute and then turned to look at He Ling, He Ling would be like a goddess descending to the mortal world. If any warrior dared to stare at the Rose Three for an hour and then turned to look at He Ling, they would probably kneel down and propose.
Surrounded by her four subordinates, Xiao Qin couldn't hide her big sister demeanor. She didn't change her sitting posture and coldly said to the people behind her, "The main course will be here in less than 10 minutes. I just heard the host talking to Lin. You guys just have to bear with it a little longer. I'm also very hungry!"
After a while, Xiao Qin added: "Oh right, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave after the competition starts, so you guys can go get the buffet for me. You guys know what I like to eat. "
"Sis Qin loves seafood, especially crabs." Red Rose said with a smile as if she was proud of her poor brain capacity for remembering these things.
"But don't give me ice crabs." Xiao Qin said with lingering fear, "My body is afraid of the cold. Ice crabs will give me diarrhea. Hot crabs are better."
"Sis Qin is right." Black Rose shouted her catchphrase again.
"Hello everyone, my surname is Bai. People who know me well call me Professor Bai."
The place where Professor Bai stood was as spacious as a variety show stage. There were a lot of movable and lifting equipment on the stage. It was full of technology and entertainment atmosphere.
"I'm the host of this competition. First of all, I would like to extend my holiday greetings on behalf of the organizer, Ms. Ai ShuQiao. I'll explain the rules of the competition later …"
