Tao You was surprised, "This is my paper? Why is it at your place?!"
"In the morning, I saw that you had forgotten to take it on the table, so I took it with me." At the end of the first game of Game 1, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers, and Hong Xiqi shouted two times at the top of his lungs. After a few times, Tao You finally heard clearly, "Thanks to me, otherwise you would really have to scroll through your phone all day long, which seems to be not bad." She regretted it again and looked at the first question on the paper, feeling a little irritated. She said, "Tsk, I don't want to do it. It's so difficult. Take a break and try again in fifteen minutes." She closed the paper.
"Forget it, forget it, I'd better do it now, the teacher is here." Hong Xiqi saw the head teacher turning his head in this direction with keen eyes, and quickly put the phone back into his pocket, lowered his head and unfolded the paper, as if he was very sure that the class teacher Just looking at her.
Tao You had no intention of writing the question at the moment, and her mind kept replaying the words that Song Yimian said just now that disturbed her mind.
Nearly fifteen minutes had passed, and she hadn't even finished writing half of the multiple-choice questions. The number of times she looked up at the competition venue and the number of times she looked forward, with her eyes blankly blank, were more than the number of times she lowered her head to look at the questions.
"Xiao Youyou, do you know how to solve this question?" Hong Xiqi was finishing a fill-in-the-blank question. After thinking for a long time, she had no idea and decided to ask Tao You for help. "Xiao Youyou?" She called twice, but Tao You was nowhere to be seen. Any response.
She looked sideways and saw Tao You staring blankly at the opposite wall. She took off one of her earphones and put it into Tao You's ear, and asked, "Xiao Youyou, what are you looking at? I've almost finished the first page, why did you do so many questions? Hey, I'll tell you the answer. Many of them are different." She put her paper next to Tao You for comparison, and subconsciously regarded Tao You's answer as the correct answer. The more she looked at it, the more anxious she became, and she scratched her scalp with the end of her pen, "No way. If I don't just fail the final exam, why should I study?" She was worried and corrected the answer.
Just as she was in a daze, a burst of intense music suddenly came into her ears that was completely different from her usual listening habits. Tao You was immediately shaken up and asked something unexpected, "Just now, Coach Tan said that Song Yimian will be No. 1 in a while." How many will show up?"
Hong Xiqi recalled it, shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything."
"Oh, don't worry." Hong Xiqi didn't want to look at the terrible paper that had been marked and corrected many times. She folded it into tofu cubes and put it in the innermost compartment of her schoolbag. She zipped it up carefully and handed it to Tao You. A piece of milk chocolate, "Eat something sweet to change your mood. When Team A comes on stage, the other players will not be so quiet. It will be difficult for you not to know by then."
Tao You looked at the excited team members around him, but had to admit that what Hong Xiqi said made some sense.
"Hey, Xiaoan asked us to come over," Hong Xiqi showed Tao You the message from Song Xiaoan and discussed, "Should we go?".
Hong Xiqi remembered what Coach Tan said just now and nudged her chin in Tang Hui's direction, "Coach Tan won't let us move around casually."
Hong Xiqi put down her schoolbag and retorted, "How can this be considered casual walking? Xiao An is our sister. Our family is looking for us, can we not go? You wait, I will talk to Sister Tang Hui."
In less than two minutes, Hong Xiqi got the approval and came back jumping. She gestured to Tao You, then bent down and started packing her schoolbag and putting on her coat.
The team members on the side finished playing a game, turned off their mobile phones and looked up, rubbing their sore necks. Seeing Tao You and Hong Xiqi preparing to leave, they thought they had forgotten Coach Tan's instructions, and reminded them, "Coach Tan. Didn't you just say that you are not allowed to walk around casually? Why don't you go ahead without fear of being discovered?" As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Hui, who was sitting in the middle of the team members, and kindly reminded him, "Tang Hui is not easy to talk to, he is very strict. It’s hard to be accommodating, after Coach Tan and the captain, he is the third most difficult person to deal with.”
——Well, maybe you have some misunderstanding about Senior Tang Hui.
Tao You and Hong Xiqi looked at each other in tacit understanding, wondering whether the person he described was the same Tang Hui they knew.
"I have already told Sister Tang Hui," Hong Xiqi was inexplicably proud. "She has also agreed. If the coach comes looking for us later, she knows our location and will come to us.
Moreover, we are just changing places, and we are not leaving the competition venue, so we can’t watch the competition and learn from it. "
The team member was unhappy and shouted, "This is not fair!"
"Tang Hui, I want to change seats too!" The team member raised his hand and shouted to Tang Hui, who was sitting a few rows in front.
"Can I change places?!"
"Where to change? Go somewhere else?"
"Can I leave the competition venue? When I first came in, I saw there was a roasted sweet potato store outside, and I wanted to buy it."
"We also want to change places." Others followed suit without hesitation.
「······」
Tao You and Hong Xiqi obviously did not expect such a reaction from others. They were carrying schoolbags and stood abruptly among the team members who were one step shorter than them, in a dilemma.
"Here, are we still leaving?" Hong Xiqi asked Tao You hesitantly.
Tao You was even more undecided and turned to look at Tang Hui.
Tang Hui put down the textbook in her hand, turned her head with a smile, glanced at the surrounding team members who were joining in the fun, shook her head gently but firmly, "No." After she finished speaking, she waved to Tao You and Hong Xiqi and said, "You go quickly, Remember to come back within the stipulated time.”
Tao You and Hong Xiqi breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them and prepared to leave, but were stopped by several team members. "Tang Hui, you have to treat them fairly. Why can they leave but we can't? Just because they have a good relationship with you?" !I’ll go find Coach Tan right now.”
"How old are you? You have to go to the teacher for such a trivial matter." Under the gaze of everyone, Tang Hui calmly took out the notebook the captain gave her, and then took out a pen and said softly, "You don't want to stay here either. Okay, give a valid reason, and when I finish writing it down in my notebook, you can leave and come back within the specified time."
The team member put down his arm across the middle of the road angrily, his brain was working rapidly, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and said, "I'm going to the toilet." The toilet was in the corner behind the auditorium, which was a blind spot. When he got to the back, he thought You can go wherever you go, Tang Hui won't be able to see him anyway.
"Okay." Tang Hui readily agreed and wrote down something on the notepad.
The team member who had taken the lead was happily preparing to pack his schoolbag under the envious eyes of others. Tang Hui continued, "You don't need to bring your schoolbag when you go to the toilet. You'll be back in five minutes. The timer starts now."
"I'm going to the toilet too. I, I have a bad stomach after eating this morning." Another team member pretended to cover his stomach, "It hurts."
"Me, me too. Ouch," the team member who initially said he wanted to go to the bathroom also covered his stomach, "We both ate the same thing in the morning, so we both have stomach upsets. Five minutes is not enough."
Tang Hui looked at the two team members up and down, and saw through their poor acting skills at a glance. She nodded cheerfully again, crossed out the line she just wrote on her notebook, and said, "Twenty minutes then." Without giving the two team members a chance to refute, Tang Hui continued, "If you hurry up, , maybe you can go shopping at the door, buy a roasted sweet potato, go to the canteen for a drink, and eat a snack before coming back."
"Isn't twenty minutes not enough?!" One of the team members turned around and joked, "You two have a bad stomach and are constipated? I brought bananas, do you want some?"
"..." Seeing that their little thoughts were easily exposed, the two team members put down their hands on their stomachs in embarrassment and put down their schoolbags amidst the laughter of others.
"What are you still standing for? Go quickly." Tang Hui closed the notebook, took out her mobile phone and started timing, and then asked the team members who had already returned to their seats pretending to be innocent.
"not going."
"Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore? Don't hold it in. It's not good for your health. The teacher told you before that you didn't pay attention to the class. Go ahead, go ahead." Tang Hui kindly advised, "I'll let you go, and the timer will start. Already."
The two team members waved their hands dejectedly, "No, no, no."
"You gave up on your own, but I let you go." Tang Hui opened the notebook again, crossed out a few lines, and turned off the countdown.
"Wait, what reason do they have?!" Another team member asked, pointing to Tao You and Hong Xiqi who had already walked to the aisle.
Tang Hui glanced at Tao You and Hong Xiqi and replied
, "Sister Tao You is here, and my family let them pass. This is of course a legitimate reason."
"Then I can also say that my classmates are here and I want to go find them."
Tang Huiyi asked sternly, "Did your classmates contact you? Is there any message record? Did they let you pass? Where are they sitting?"
"Sister Tao You sent them a message, asking them to come over and have something to do. Why are you wandering around when you have nothing to do? Just stay here and finish your homework? Are you sure about the final exam? Are you okay in the college entrance examination? Your competition will be here soon, so keep it safe Let's rest for a while." Tang Hui's sharp question completely blocked their escape route. She closed the notepad and turned around, putting on her headphones to review by herself.
Tao You grabbed Hong Xiqi and asked, "What did you tell Senior Sister Tang Hui just now? Why did you become my sister? When did I have a sister who is a freshman in high school?"
——My sister is here to send you a message? ! Isn’t this nonsense!
Hong Xiqi interrupted with a smile, "Don't worry about these details, as long as you can leave."
"Besides, it's only a matter of time. No, no, I made a mistake." Hong Xiqi patted her mouth.
——That’s right, Xiao An is our friend.
Before Tao You could finish thinking, Hong Xiqi winked at Tao You and said, "She should be my sister-in-law." Her voice was not quiet, but fortunately the atmosphere was high and her voice was muffled.
