Tao You was slightly startled for a moment. He was not used to staying at such a close distance from strangers. He took a step back and simply replied, "Coming of Age Ceremony."
——Aren’t you a photographer hired by the school? Did you come to take photos of any event without even asking about it? This is too hasty, don't worry about being cheated.
She cursed inwardly.
"Oh, coming-of-age ceremony." The man, wearing a mask, repeated in a muffled voice. He raised his hand to snap a few photos of the crowd as if nothing had happened, then turned his head and continued chatting with Tao You, "the clothes you are wearing are quite expensive, right?" , they all look like brand-name goods. Each one of them has a thousand characters, right? The dress on that little girl must have cost tens of thousands." As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and used his chin to nuzzle the crowd in front of him. Liao Nu, I don’t know who he is referring to specifically.
——Whether the clothes are expensive or cheap has nothing to do with you. Just complete your job well. Are today’s photographers so nosy? !
Tao You frowned and answered truthfully, "I don't know." At least the skirt she was wearing wasn't outrageously expensive.
"Today's children, who have just entered high school, have to wear such good clothes, and they must dress better than others before they give up. Tsk, they are too obsessed with comparison. If you ask me, students should behave like students. We should wear school uniforms in school, what is the point of dressing up?"
He said these words in a suppressed voice. The moment he said them, they were completely covered by the intense music. You could only judge whether he was speaking by the way the mask on his face rose and fell.
The man took a rough look at Tao You's cool clothes through the light. His eyebrows under the hat frowned tightly, and there was a trace of displeasure in his eyes. He said in an elder's tone, "Little
Yo... Ahem, little girl, your school still lets you wear so little in this kind of weather. Isn't it afraid that you will have to take leave if you get sick? It's almost the end of the semester. Studying in the second year of high school is so stressful. It's not worth taking time off due to illness at this time. He seemed very dissatisfied with these beautiful dresses, "Also, it's late at night. By the time you finish here, it will be late, and it's not completely safe outside. You girls, please be more careful outside." , don’t think it doesn’t matter, those bad guys won’t listen to your explanation.”
Tao You seemed to have heard him call her name, but judging from his dress, height, voice and accent, Tao You was sure that she did not recognize this person. She suspected that the music was too loud, which caused her to have auditory hallucinations.
——That's true, but why do you feel that there is something in his words that makes people unable to listen and makes you want to slut him.
A feeling of disgust arose in her heart. She raised her hand slightly and tugged on Song Yimian's sleeve. She regretted why she didn't listen to his advice and go out for some fresh air. Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered this weird photographer.
Song Yimian immediately held Tao You's hand with his backhand and tapped her wrist lightly with his fingers to indicate that she was okay.
The small movements they thought would not be noticed by others were all seen by the man on the side. When his eyes touched the hands of the two of them clasped together, his pupils tightened uncontrollably and he held the camera. His hands were also stronger, and the veins on the back of his hands, which were covered by the sleeves of his coat, were slightly protruding.
Before Song Yimian could say anything, the man pressed his chin at Song Yimian and said, "You boys are the same, especially boys like you who are good-looking and have superior conditions." He He finished the last half of the sentence word by word, "Nowadays, everyone is there. You have all seen the news in the past two days. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really heartbreaking. ugh."
「······」
「······」
Tao You and Song Yimian both shut up for a moment and looked at this man.
——What news? During this period of time, apart from training, I also studied, and it is true that I have not kept up with the speed of the hot search list. Even Hong Xiqi didn't seem to pay attention to the news in time.
Tao You became curious about the "news" the man mentioned.
The man took a few more photos on his own. Just as he raised his head, a beam of white light swept across his eyes.
Tao You finally saw clearly his only eyes exposed to the air, but it took less than three seconds.
he's like
Unexpectedly, Tao You and Song Yimian would look at him at this time. They hurriedly glanced at the two young faces facing him, then closed their eyes in panic as if they were caught by the light, lowered their heads and exerted their strength. He pressed down on the brim of his hat, and hurriedly pulled up the mask to make sure it was properly covered, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
This action seems to be a sign of fear that one's appearance will be completely exposed in front of others, and it also seems to be a sign of guilty conscience for fear that others will find out that he has done something bad.
After pausing for a few seconds, the man shook his head nonchalantly and continued what he had just said with a heartbroken voice, "Hey, you are so crazy. What do you kids know? You don't understand anything. Hey." Then he took the camera and looked to the other side. He walked to the corner and continued to take pictures of the crowd.
「······」
Tao You frowned, turned to Song Yimian and asked, "Are all artists like this?" So, so weird? So, does it have personality?
"Ignore him." Song Yimian glanced at the photographer who was facing away from them as if he was mentally ill. He took Tao You a few steps closer to the crowd and stopped at the outermost layer of the crowd. They won't be crowded out by others and they won't appear to be unique.
"Next, let's officially enter the game! Everyone has found their partner!" The host took the microphone and shouted, and the positions on the scene were reshuffled again.
"Xu Gao! Xu Gao! Here!"
"Bin'er?! Bin'er? Xiao Binzi?! Where is he?!"
"Let's grab a seat in the front quickly so we don't get blocked by someone and lose sight of it!"
"Situ! Let's go there."
"...How many times do I have to repeat it before you can remember it?! My last name is Si and my first name is Tufan! Don't call me Situ!"
「······」
In an instant, people in the gymnasium were filled with shouts and screams, and there were all kinds of situations.
After about five minutes, when 95% of the people had found their partners, the host continued to pick up the microphone and explained the rules of the game, "The game in a moment will use a points system, and each question will be based on Different scores are given for the difficulty of the questions, with the lowest being one point and the highest being fifteen points. For every correct answer to a question, our classmate Xiao Chen will give out the same number of red bars as the score," the host said, pointing. Pointing to classmate Xiao Chen who was standing aside with a thick stack of red bars, he continued, "The group with the most red bars in the end wins and will also receive corresponding rewards! As for what the prize is... I'll keep it secret for now!" The host aroused everyone's interest, "Our question group has worked hard on the next questions. The more difficult the questions are, the higher the corresponding score will be. "
"Next."
"Games start!"
"The first question! Please answer!"
As the first question appeared on the beige wall, the music faded away.
"I know! You should write of in the middle of this sentence!"
"Congratulations on the correct answer, one point added! Xiao Chen, give me a red bar! Please look at the second question!" The host continued to direct the students on the side to show the second question, raising the atmosphere of the scene to the highest level.
"Two people A and B are traveling toward each other from two places at the same time..." The host quickly finished reading the second question, "Ask, how many kilometers per hour is A faster than B? Please answer!"
"Damn, why are there still math questions?!"
"Paper, paper, paper, who has paper?"
"Pen!"
"I got it first! Don't grab it!"
「······」
Many people did not read the questions carefully, so they rushed to the student union members and grabbed the few pieces of white paper and black pens on the table.
"Three thousand meters!" Tao You stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, stretching his neck and stepping on his feet. He finally shook his head and saw the title on the wall clearly through the gap left between the heads of the classmates in front of him.
——Isn’t this the most common Mathematical Olympiad problem in primary schools.
Tao You relied on her pretty good mental arithmetic ability, which she was forced to practice by Tao's mother since childhood, and her talent in mathematics. While others were still calculating or looking for paper and pen, she had already calculated. answer, and shout the answer confidently with your arms raised.
"The answer is correct!" The host waved to classmate Xiao Chen who was standing aside, "Xiao Chen, put on the red bar!"
"Damn, that's really fast."
"Oh, just a little bit close."
"For elementary school math problems, you still need to get paper to calculate and cut."
"You didn't take the paper, and you didn't even answer it, so why are you just mumbling about it here?"
「······」
————————————————————————————
Tao You held up the red-striped heel that classmate Xiao Chen gave her, and raised her face to show off to Song Yimian, "It's not bad."
"Not bad." Song Yimian looked at the subtle light in Tao You's eyes. It was rare that he was in a good mood to respond to Tao You's little tsundere that appeared from time to time.
He was still holding Tao You's hand and caressing her wrist unconsciously.
Tao You's wrists felt numb, and goosebumps appeared all over her arms. She shrank back reflexively.
Only then did the two people realize that their hands were still holding each other!
"Ahem." Song Yimian turned his head, coughed lightly with erratic eyes, let go of Tao You's hand, made a fist and put it in his trouser pocket, trying to pretend that nothing was wrong, but the pink color on the tips of his ears betrayed him.
Tao You also put his hands behind his back in time, trembling slightly. The warm warmth of Song Yimian's palm was still on her wrist, and she could even clearly feel the exact position where his fingers had been placed on her wrist just now.
After letting go, the numbness on the wrist did not lessen at all, and even tended to spread to the torso.
Tao You lowered his head and blinked wildly, trying to calm down his mood. .
——Calm down, calm down, Tao You, calm down! Isn't it just holding hands? It's not like I haven't held hands before. Why do you have such a big reaction? Now is not the time to be a nymphomaniac! Calm down, nothing happened just now.
Tao You numbed himself in his heart.
When I looked up again, the third question was over. Tao You has calmed down as if the scene just now was just an illusion, "This kind of question is not easy for you, why don't you raise your hand to answer?" Didn't he promise to help her win just now? But now There is no answer to a question.
Song Yimian lazily put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows in an arc, lowered his head to look at Tao You, slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, and said confidently, "There are only twenty questions in total. The ones with higher scores are the key. The first ones are Those who get one or two points are all small businesses and small profits, and it doesn’t matter whether they take it or not.”
