Chapter 399 This is slander!
Chapter 399 This is slander!
Just as he covered him, Bai Yuan felt Pei Jin's body tremble violently, as if burned by something. He suddenly shrank back and instantly took off, widening the distance between them.
When she raised her eyes again, Pei Jin was already covering the corner of his eye that had been kissed by Bai Yuan, and was looking at her with surprised eyes and flushed face.
The watery light in the eyes that was previously filled with mist also gathered together due to the violent trembling, hanging at the corner of the eye as if about to fall, as if it would lie down along the corner of the eye in the next second, wetting the gaps between the fingers covering the corner of the eye, making that place also stained with a crimson color.
"I'm talking to you about something serious! Why are you suddenly——"
Pei Jin stopped talking halfway through his words, pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice, "You can stay or leave if you want, who cares..."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to get off the car without even looking at Bai Yuan.
But he stopped halfway through the action, turned his head and looked at Bai Yuan unwillingly, his eyes dimmed.
The next second, Pei Jin took the initiative to move closer and pecked Bai Yuan quickly, just like a water bird pecking at a fish.
Pei Jin kissed her eagerly and bumped her hard, and the two of them collided with each other. Bai Yuan immediately tasted blood in his mouth.
Pei Jin also took a breath of cold air with a sharp pain, straightened the tip of his tongue, and warned in a low and unclear voice:
"Come watch me compete, you said so yourself!!!"
"Yeah, okay." Bai Yuan responded.
Pei Jin was satisfied and finally got out of the car. He put his hands in his pockets, walked towards the hotel in a casual manner without looking back.
Only after he pricked up his ears and heard the sound of Bai Yuan's car leaving did he turn his head and take a deep look at the place where she left.
He pursed his lips again, savoring the two kisses that were faster and faster each time. However, he was too nervous and was busy dodging, so he didn't notice anything.
But even so, Pei Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, until he accidentally touched the wound in his mouth, and then he had no choice but to straighten his lip lines and suppress the arc.
During this trip, Pei Jin first met Bai Yuan and Wen Yi Che, and then confirmed that the relationship between the two was not as he had previously thought, not some bloody story of wanting to marry his "white moonlight" who could not go abroad. Now that his goal had been achieved, there was no need to go out again.
Thinking of Bai Yuan's promise to come and watch him compete, Pei Jin's expression became a little more serious. He thought that he would take advantage of the next few days to practice more questions and try to perform well in the competition so as not to fail at the critical moment.
Pei Jin walked back while thinking about what to do next.
At this time, contestants from other countries who were participating in the competition had not yet checked in, and my fellow classmates had already gone out and were not in the room now.
The hallway was empty, and aside from the occasional swinging camera, there was no movement.
Pei Jin found his room according to his memory and swiped the magnetic card to open the door. The moment the door lock sounded, his hand that was about to push the door open suddenly paused.
Immediately, the sense of disharmony that had been lingering in his mind suddenly became clear, as if he had received a flash of inspiration, and he thought of something he had always ignored.
The first thing Wen Yi Che said when he saw me just now was - "You got the wrong person."
Thinking of Wen Yi Che's skilled tone, his matter-of-fact attitude, and the obvious surprise in his eyes when he saw me.
All the details that were previously ignored are infinitely magnified at this moment.
Pei Jin stepped over the threshold, closed the door, leaned against it, and stared at the question:
——The person he was going to recognize...
……who is it?
This question was like a thorn in Pei Jin's heart. It was not fatal or not, but every time he thought about it, he would feel stabbed.
After Bai Yuan left that day, he did come back as promised later in the day. Because they were worried that he wouldn't have good food in a foreign country, which would affect his rest and competition, they specially brought him food from a Chinese restaurant.
Pei Jin was originally bothered by the fact that she was going back to see Wen Yiche later.
But after he opened the lunch box and saw that it was filled with his favorite foods, he felt a lot better.
But even so, Pei Jin still did not seek help from Bai Yuan to resolve his doubts, nor did he try to get answers to his questions from her to remove the thorn in his heart.
Speaking of this, Pei Jin's awkwardness came up again.
It's just... quite boring.
Pei Jin thought.
What good will it do to ask?
This time, Wen Yi Che will ask once, and next time, someone else will ask again.
Bai Yuan has so many friends around her that she doesn’t know about. Does she have to ask her about every person she doesn’t know?
It's annoying to death.
He also seemed to be particularly petty, calculative, and caring too much about Bai Yuan.
What's more, he is a grown man, and it's a bit degrading for him to always follow others and ask questions.
Neither Pei Jin's self-esteem nor his pride would allow him to do such a shameless thing.
Of course, in addition to Bai Yuan, Pei Jin actually has a second candidate he can inquire about - Wen Yiche.
But as soon as this idea came out, it was immediately rejected by Pei Jin.
He had been so arrogant in front of him before, but now he lowered his head in front of Wen Yiche and humbly asked him who the person he was talking about was?
It’s better to let him die!!!
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Even if Pei Jin died, he would never be able to beg Wen Yiche for help in this life.
The only two candidates are here, but Pei Jin doesn't want to ask, so he can only keep it to himself or wait patiently for Bai Yuan to introduce everyone she knows to him one by one.
Bai Yuan has already agreed. She always keeps her word.
In this case, there must be something called...
Pei Jin tried hard to recall the name that Wen Yiche had mentioned at that time.
It seems to be called...
Qin, Lin, Ling...Jing???
The consequence of not paying attention at the time is that I can't remember it at all afterwards.
Moreover, Pei Jin didn't know whether Wen Yiche called people by their given names together with their surnames, or omitted the surnames and only called them by their given names.
He could make some inferences about the former through family relationships, and at worst he could narrow the scope by using the Hundred Family Surnames!
The latter is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, you can't find the person even with a lantern.
Pei Jin thought about it over and over again. The more he thought, the more he forgot. The more he forgot, the more he thought. He always felt that every word was right, but also that every word was wrong.
He lay in bed for most of the night, thinking about things but couldn't figure it out, and was so anxious that he kept blaming Wen Yiche.
——It’s so annoying!!! Why can’t this person distinguish between front and back nasal sounds!!!
Even Wen Yixuan had to shout out for his brother after hearing it, "This is slander!"
"Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei? Pei Jin!"
In a trance, Pei Jin heard someone calling him. He looked and saw his classmates and teammates in this competition looking at him with worry.
"Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so bad?"
Pei Jin blinked blankly, then realized that he had entered the competition venue and would be on stage to compete in five minutes.
These days, Pei Jin was troubled by various matters, big and small, and had not had a good rest.
Before today's game, he was thinking about names until late at night before falling asleep. No wonder he looks pale and dazed now.
Remembering that Bai Yuan was sitting in the audience waiting to see him, Pei Jin patted his face again to wake himself up and get back in shape for the game.
"It's okay, let's go."
He walked past his teammates and headed straight toward the stage from behind the scenes.
The physics competition is divided into two parts: a written test and a quick-answer test.
The written test is an individual competition, similar to a normal exam. Only the average of all people's scores is taken, which does not account for a large proportion.
The quick-answer game is just like what you see on TV, with more show effects. The examiner calls out the questions, and then the contestants from each team press buttons to answer. It is divided into individual and team competitions, and is also the main scoring point of the competition.
The contestants were on the stage and the audience was sitting below. Some were the contestants' parents, some were school teachers, as well as physics professors from famous foreign universities and other authoritative figures.
This physics competition is similar in nature to the earlier Mathematical Olympiad in China. Not only will it be included in the entrance examination, but some students with particularly outstanding results may even receive direct admission to prestigious universities. For some people, it is often a competition that determines their fate.
Even if you are not qualified for direct admission, you can still leave an impression on professors and teachers and make it easier to apply for university.
This is very friendly to students from foreign countries with a recommended admission system.
For this reason, this competition has attracted a lot of attention and is one of the more important high school student selection competitions in line with international standards in recent years.
Of course, Pei Jin and Hai Qi's group are obviously not among those whose fate is decided. If they win, at best they will just get an extra layer of gilding, and if they lose, it won't be a big deal. Compared to the national team that is determined to win the championship, obtaining the qualification to participate is their ultimate goal that they have already achieved.
But even so, since we are standing on the stage, we must not compete passively. We are all well-known figures in Haiqi. Even if we can't get first place, we must at least get second place.
If you spend a lot of effort and end up last, it would make others laugh to death.
Soon, it was Pei Jin's team's turn to go on stage. When Pei Jin went on stage with the team, he deliberately paid attention to the people in the audience and soon saw Bai Yuan in the last few rows of the crowd.
The physics competition has the most candidates, and in order to take care of Pei Jin's emotions and worried that seeing Wen Yiche would affect his performance, Bai Yuan came alone today, with only a driver and a bodyguard.
Pei Jin squinted his eyes and looked around. When he didn't see Wen Yiche, he was very satisfied. He relaxed and even felt like making gestures to Bai Yuan in the audience.
The young man on the stage was full of vigor and enthusiasm, and he didn't look tired at all from staying up all night without sleep.
But after the competition really started, lack of sleep more or less affected Pei Jin's performance. He was a little slow in reacting to the first few questions and fell behind by a few points at the beginning.
Fortunately, Pei Jin adjusted his state in time, put aside all the trivial things in his mind, focused all his attention on the competition at hand, and finally equalized the score little by little.
In the end, the team escaped with no major problems, leading the national team by 0.5 points and taking first place in the team competition.
I did a little worse in the individual competition and only got twelfth place.
However, Pei Jin was, after all, just a half-baked person who was sharpening his knife at the last minute. He had little interest and enthusiasm in physics. He could not compare with the real masters who were passionate about academics, had been engaged in inventions since childhood, could come up with complex formulas and theories at will, and were committed to exploring and discovering new physical knowledge and researching new results.
By this calculation, twelfth is a world-class twelfth, which is actually not bad.
After the competition was over, everyone received their team awards together, and then watched others go up to receive their individual awards. When they were gathered together to discuss where to go for the celebratory banquet, someone with sharp eyes noticed Bai Yuan standing up from his seat and walking towards them.
The man nudged Pei Jin with his elbow and winked at him, "Mr. Pei, did Bai Yuan come all the way to watch your game?"
Although Pei Jin liked the word "specially", he couldn't pretend to be like that in front of Bai Yuan, so he gave a vague explanation:
"She was also competing here. We happened to meet each other two days ago, so we made an appointment to go back together."
"You're in a foreign country, and you just happened to meet me? I think you care about Master Pei and are waiting for you, right?"
The man flattered Pei Jin while telling lies with his eyes open to please him.
Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan who was walking towards him slowly with a smile on his face. Because he had overexerted his brain in the competition, his mind was now blank and his thinking speed had slowed down. He couldn't do two things at once, so he hummed and hawed and said perfunctorily: "Well, guess it is..."
After Bai Yuan approached, he first greeted the other students in the team, and finally looked at Pei Jin slowly, "...Congratulations."
Looking at Bai Yuan, the heated discussions of the people around him seemed to fade away. Pei Jin felt his throat tighten for no reason. Thinking of what happened a few days ago, the boy's azure eyes deepened a little, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Bai——"
"Bai Yuan! Are you free later? Come to the celebration banquet with us!!!"
Before Pei Jin could speak, another rough voice beside him spoke first.
Someone nearby immediately poked him and winked at him frantically:
They are talking nicely to each other, showing off your big head!!!
Then he smiled at Bai Yuan and said, "Bai Yuan, do you have anything else to say to Master Pei? We'll leave first and won't disturb you anymore. We'll go back together tomorrow!"
After saying that, without staying for long, several people pushed and shoved their way out and left first.
The people in the stadium also left one after another, leaving only the staff busy cleaning up and doing the aftermath.
Bai Yuan looked at the medal hanging around Pei Jin's neck. The young man usually looked unruly and unruly, thinking he was the boss and didn't obey anyone.
There was a tag hanging around his neck out of nowhere, and at first glance he looked quite obedient.
The medal rope was a bit short. When Bai Yuan picked it up from half a step away, it seemed a bit insufficient. Pei Jin had no choice but to follow Bai Yuan's strength, arching his back and half lowering his head. This gave him a sense of submission.
Pei Jin didn't think much about it and maintained this posture to accommodate Bai Yuan for a while, his eyes fixed on her five fingers flipping the medal.
When Bai Yuan had seen enough, he let go of the medal. Before Pei Jin could stand up straight again, he felt a sinking sensation on his head.
Bai Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his head.
"Let's go. I've booked a restaurant for you to celebrate your outstanding achievement." She said with a faint smile, "First place."
