"Look~"
"I told you, some people just don't have the skills..."
Yu Xin Xin, "..."
If she waited a moment longer, she would die laughing!
"Yes, some people only got 8.something..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the person opposite became anxious, "You!"
"What's so great about that!"
"Oh~ You're getting upset~"
Yu Xin Xin smiled, intending to mock, but still nodded convincingly, "You're right! It's really nothing to be proud of... it's just zero-point-something more than some 8.something~"
"..."
After a long while, Yu Xin Xin saw no one speaking.
She glanced at them a couple more times before pulling Qiu Xi and walking away, distancing herself.
"Tch~"
"It's just 9.6, look at her acting so proud, it's not even hers..."
"If you got 9.9, Xiao Xi, I wouldn't even say anything!"
"Look at her getting all proud!"
She herself got 9.4, and she wasn't as arrogant as that!
Really! Looking at her made her sick!
"Alright, calm down~"
Qiu Xi held Yu Xin Xin's hand, "That kind of person, it's not worth it. Anyway, after today, she'll be nothing in your world."
"Xiao Xi, you're right!"
People without ability are like dogs, barking to show off their meager and insignificant strengths.
And this person, calling her a dog would be an insult.
Truly someone not worth looking at...
"Hmph~"
"But thinking about it makes me so angry, it's good that it's only these three days, after tomorrow morning, we can go back in the afternoon!"
Qiu Xi nodded, "Yes~"
She didn't know what the organizers were thinking. The rankings were announced in the afternoon, yet the awards ceremony was scheduled for another day...
"If it weren't for the requirement of attending in person, I would have dragged you to stay in the hotel..."
"That won't do!" Before she could finish, Yu Xin Xin contradicted herself.
"If we don't go, won't people look down on us... We still have to go!"
"And we have to go looking beautiful!"
Listening to Yu Xin Xin ramble, Qiu Xi could no longer hold back.
When she first met her, she wasn't like this at all...
Back then, she was cold and rarely spoke. Even when she later asked to train together, it was with a purpose, to improve herself...
She didn't expect to see this side of her now that it was almost over... It was quite interesting!
After laughing for a while, Qiu Xi had to hold back, "Alright, let's save these for tonight."
"There are only a few people left, let's listen some more."
Anyway, they had finished their part, and were feeling relaxed!
"Okay~"
"Let's learn~"
She thought this about Xiao Xi was particularly good!
Even if she herself was outstanding, she could still be humble, thinking of learning from others' strengths to overcome her own weaknesses.
Qiu Xi didn't refute, nodding, "Mm."
Finally, the rest of the morning passed with the two of them enduring it.
After it ended, when they saw their two teachers, they noticed that the teachers seemed overly excited today.
"Teachers, why are you so happy today?"
Since everything was over, they no longer had to rush as they did the previous two days.
"You can tell? Is it that obvious?" Teacher Huang grinned.
The two nodded in unison, "Yes!"
"Hahaha~"
The two teachers laughed heartily, "We are indeed very happy, happy for both of you!"
"Our important mission of returning to J City is now complete, and your scores are not bad, especially Xiao Qiu's, which is so high. How can we not be happy~"
"Teachers, there are still half of the people left to present this afternoon. Aren't we celebrating a bit too early?"
Although she felt that no one's score could surpass Xiao Xi's.
But the world is vast, and there are all sorts of wonders, what if there was just one or two?
"That doesn't stop us from being happy~"
"Let's go, I'll take you to lunch."
They were still holding back, not having relayed the news yet.
But it was quite difficult to hold back, so they could only share their joy with the two students.
As for relaying the news, that would have to wait until the afternoon ended and the results were out.
"Alright~"
With nothing to worry about, Qiu Xi and the other girl, along with the two teachers, had the most relaxed meal they had in days.
They even managed to sleep a little longer during their nap than the previous two days!
"Let's go, after watching this competition, it will truly be over."
"Mm."
Indeed, the Century Cup, from the start of the semester last year until now, has been quite long, and it was time for it to end.
The two leisurely walked towards the contestant waiting area.
This afternoon, with nothing to do, they only had to listen intermittently.
Of course... if you didn't want to listen, that was perfectly fine, just stay quiet.
Halfway through, a majority of people had already presented, and the highest score was only 9.5.
Just as everyone thought the afternoon would be uneventful, a 9.7 appeared on the stage!
It was truly exhilarating.
"Xiao Xi, this person's score is so high!"
Although not as high as Xiao Xi's, this was the second highest score of the competition so far.
"Why didn't I notice her in the past two days?"
Qiu Xi shook her head, "I don't know her well... but in this round, she was indeed excellent!"
At least her score had proven that to everyone...
Moreover, she had listened to contestant number 47's speech, and it was on par with contestant number 24 from the morning. If she could score one point higher, it meant this contestant's performance ability was truly exceptional.
However, Yu Xin Xin felt she was slightly outmatched by number 24 in terms of material selection. It was just that her other abilities were much better than number 24's, which allowed her to slightly edge out in the final score.
Contestant number 47's speech brought a small climax to the competition, re-engaging everyone's attention.
Only after the last contestant finished their speech did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there were outstanding performers, but not too many, otherwise, their hearts would have given out.
After number 47, there were one or two more high scores, but the highest was tied with number 47, another was 9.6, and the rest were around the average level.
"Phew~"
Yu Xin Xin, though not nervous herself, felt relieved for Qiu Xi.
"Xiao Xi, my heart was in my throat just now... thankfully, thankfully..."
"You should be safe this time..."
She was originally talking to Qiu Xi, but by the end, Yu Xin Xin sounded more like she was talking to herself.
Qiu Xi was also helpless~
She herself wasn't that nervous, but this girl was so... a bit too invested...
"Alright, if you want to know, just look at the big screen~"
The host had already come up, indicating that the scores had been tallied.
"Right!"
"Let's hear what the host has to say..."
The moment the host appeared, not only Yu Xin Xin and the others,
but also everyone in and out of the venue fell silent, all eagerly awaiting the final results.
