76: Crying

Crying

Students from Shengyang High school didn't think that there anything wrong with building on the reputation of their school.

If you were capable and talented enough, you should go ahead and do well on stage. Jixia wanted to be able to maintain its reputation. They didn't want to give Qin Yan an unchallenged avenue to display her talents and take any chance away from them.

Sadly, however, you guys from Jixia are not talented enough.

It was even more embarrassing the way they had all acted so arrogantly when they didn't even have any talent.

At that moment, no one except the Jixia teachers and students felt that Qin Yan was in the wrong.

Although only a small part of the audience were guests from other schools, there were many viewers watching through the livestream.

The students of Shengyang high school were exceptionally pleased.

"Marvelous!"

"Qin Yan is so awesome! Why were they being so arrogant?"

The internet cafes were all buzzing with these sentiments, and everyone felt vindicated.

The principal of Shengyang high school Principal Mu was also following this event in his office. He picked up the phone in his office and said, "Go and open up the assembly hall. Switch on the screens and livestream this year's National Brain Challenge. Disseminate the news, and inform all the students that we have opened up a public area for everyone to watch together. Everyone can go watch if they want to."

Principal Mu had personally issued his orders. The people in charge swiftly made arrangements.

An email was sent out to all the students to inform them of the streaming location.

Principal Mu's arrangements were implemented in no time.

A few of the students who had been watching in the internet cafes left and went to the assembly hall.

Those who were viewing it from their homes found it less exciting to watch it alone. They went to the hall to join in on the excitement as well.

A few students who previously had been uninterested in the match walked past the assembly hall. When they realized that there was an ongoing livestream, they stopped in their tracks and watched if they had nothing else better to do.

As they watched, it was so exciting that they decided to stay on.

Other students who walked by also stopped out of curiosity when they realized how bustling the assembly hall was. More and more students gathered around to watch.

The crowd in the assembly hall grew and grew..

Back at the competition site, in the stands set aside for esteemed guests…

Director Guo felt extremely vindicated when he heard Qin Yan's words.

He also felt extremely pleased.

He glanced at Director Liu, who had a rather unsightly expression plastered on his face. He giggled and said, "No one from Jixia Academy took us seriously before the competition. You guys behaved as though your team had already pocketed the gold. It doesn't look very certain now."

Director Liu didn't say a word. His eyes were fixed on the competition.

Both Zhang Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoou had been two of his favorite students. Yet, Qin Yan had trampled over them, to the point that neither of them could keep their heads raised.

"We aren't going to contend for this point." On the competition ground, the other four contestants appeared to have discussed this beforehand.

The representative from Si Cheng high school spoke up, "We four are going to forfeit. Will the Jixia representative try? If you don't hit the buzzer soon, it will be too late."

Qin Yan smiled at the other four contestants. Then she turned and asked Zhao Xiaoou, "Student Zhao, if you don't press the buzzer, I will."

Qin Yan placed her hand on the buzzer and waited for a few seconds. She wasn't feeling anxious yet; there was still time.

She would give Zhao Xiaoou a chance.

But to Zhao Xiaoou, Qin Yan was doing this to humiliate her.

If Qin Yan wanted to press the buzzer, she should just do it.

However, her hand continued to hover over the buzzer. But for some reason, her hand refused to press the buzzer.

This was equivalent to suspending a sword on top of Zhao Xiaoou's head.

To scare and mock her…

It was almost as though Qin Yan was testing her and seeing if she had the guts to hit the buzzer.

Zhao Xiaoou kept hesitating until the very last second.

Suddenly, she heard a CLANG!

Zhao Xiaoou raised her head abruptly. She realized that she hadn't been the one who had pressed it.

Her hand was still next to the buzzer. She had been unable to make up her mind.

At that moment, she heard the voice of the host, "Can the contestant from Shengyang High school please state her answer."

Qin Yan calmly replied, "I choose option C."

"Correct!" the host said. "Now, let us look at the rankings at this juncture."

The host recited the scores.

Shengyang High school first place with 29 points,

Jixia Academy second place with 18 points,

Si Cheng high school third place with 6 points,

Jia Yong High school and Longmen city senior high school fourth place with 2 points,

S international high school last place with 1 point.

Zhao Xiaoou bit her lip. Before the host could say anything, she had already returned to the competitors' stand in tears.

Qin Yan watched this.

This situation has put her in quite a tough spot.

Zhao Xiaoou had broken into tears. Wouldn't that make her look pitiful?

"Not bad." Guang Yingbai, a contestant from Si Cheng high school, walked over and waved at Qin Yan with a smile.

Qin Yan: "..."

What a stoic man.

Zhao Xiaoou was in tears. Yet he had walked over to tell her that she'd done well…

Qin Yan waved her hand. "Student Zhao is crying, but please don't blame me."

Ge Youyi from Jia Yong walked over. When he heard what Qin Yan said, the corner of his lips slipped up involuntarily into a smile.

He hadn't expected this girl to be so interesting.0

"We understand, don't worry."

Chen Qingyue from S International high school also walked over and added, "She cried because she was angry with herself. It has nothing to do with you."

"The students from Jixia are too used to winning. They had assumed that no one could be their match." Longmen city's high school's Bi Yingrui walked over. "They can't even take such a small setback."
