151: Chapter 91 I Must Say Modestly_4 151: Chapter 91 I Must Say Modestly_4 Just like that, the day of departure swiftly arrived.
Saying goodbye to mom was much simpler, didn’t even go through the usual protocol.
Before he could speak, Qiao Xi simply pointed to the door and blurted out four words: “Hurry up and roll!”
However, Qiao Yu still stepped forward and ceremoniously hugged this tough-talking yet soft-hearted woman before dragging his luggage to leave.
…
The first day of winter camp, to put it plainly, is mainly about welcoming representatives from each competition area and checking in, with registration from 8 AM to 6 PM.
It takes about six hours by high-speed train from Star City to Ningshui.
Taking the train departing at 9:40 in the morning, they would arrive around 3:40 in the afternoon.
So, the Xingnan Provincial Team was scheduled to depart on the 17th.
November is the off-season for tourism, so the provincial team booked an entire carriage, giving the young participants quite a nice treatnt with first-class seats.
The carriage was lively, as the vast majority of those selected were students from the Four top schools.
Most of them had many classmates, even if not from the sa grade or class, they usually trained together.
In short, students from the prestigious schools never worried about finding soone to chat with during the trip.
Of course, there were also so students from scattered middle schools, mainly those from prestigious schools outside of Star City, including Qiao Yu.
Yes, this ti there were only a pitiful three non-Four top schools students who made it into the provincial team, and they ca from three different schools.
Specifically in Star City, it was just Qiao Yu alone.
At this mont, Lan Jie’s role ca into play.
The two were naturally seated together, and they could chat sporadically throughout the trip, which, although not as lively as other areas, Qiao Yu found quite enjoyable.
Of course, Qiao Yu wasn’t left out at all.
Quite the opposite, even while waiting in the lounge, prestigious competition big shots ca up to greet him from ti to ti.
So wanted to make friends and asked to add him on WeChat; others ca to ask questions; and so just wanted to blow so bullshit with Qiao Yu.
Before the train departed, Professor Luo, the provincial leader, also ca to chat with Qiao Yu for quite a while, discussing high-end topics, like asking what Qiao Yu thought of the competition questions this ti?
Any thoughts after the exam?
Suggestions for the developnt of competition questions, and so on…
There was no avoiding it; the first place in any competition always gets more attention.
Not to ntion, Qiao Yu accidentally scored a perfect score.
After all, with just this little ti while waiting, everyone couldn’t imdiately beco familiar with each other.
Although he wasn’t very familiar with the other students in the carriage, he had two acquaintances of the sa age on WeChat who also qualified for this year’s winter camp.
The most infuriating thing for Qiao Yu was that, while he was still on the high-speed train eating tasteless fast food, Yu Yongjun posted two photos in the group chat.
In the photos, both of them were already in the hotel enjoying a buffet.
Of course, the photos were taken by Yu Yongjun, and it was obvious this shaless guy had voluntarily cozied up, sitting opposite Yu Wei.
No one knows how he managed to put on a thick skin.
Looking at Yu Wei’s expression in the photos, it was clear he wasn’t too welcoming of Little Fatty.
Unfortunately, the two of them didn’t start fighting right there in the restaurant because Yu Wei still had ti to reply to his WeChat, indicating both hands were free.
“I’m not even going to ntion Yu Wei; it only takes two hours for him to take the high-speed train from Linhai to Ningshui.
But you in Shuangqing, how did you get to the hotel so quickly from so far away?” Looking at the delicious food on their plates compared to the tasteless train fast food in front of him, Qiao Yu angrily questioned.
One is third, the other is fifth, and they eat better than him!
Is that reasonable?
“Don’t ntion it, we gathered at five in the morning, reached the airport by six thirty, waited twenty minutes to board the plane, took a nap on the flight, and before we knew it, arrived in Ningshui.”
Makes perfect sense.
Qiao Yu suddenly realized his ager fifteen-year life had been utterly uneventful because he’d never been on a plane.
In his anger, he had just ignored the fact that planes are faster than trains, feeling a bit ashad.
So, his reply turned sarcastic: “What a sumptuous buffet!
You two should eat more, fill your brains with fat before the exam.
This way, after the national competition, you won’t have to travel back and forth so much in March next year!
Go on, dig in!”
