C160 (1/2)
Time flew by, and soon, a month had passed.
Chu Yu had finally finished his preliminaries and weekends training. After the instructor finished commenting on the three of them, he opened up the folder in front of him and opened up their final meeting before the tournament: ”Tomorrow, there will be four contestants selected to enter the semifinals. I hope all of you do your best, don't be nervous …”
The competition was elimination, but the 30 judges sitting in the judges area had 40% of the points. In other words, not only did they have strength, they also had to think of a way to win the hearts of the 30 judges.
Chu Yu immediately felt a headache when she knew about this subject. She was one of those people who did not know anything, only wanted to concentrate on displaying her good works. However, this time, the evaluation of the thirty people gave her a lot of pressure.
The meeting ended and they walked out of the classroom. It was already dark.
It was the same every day of the month. In order to prepare for the tournament, they would have to stay at the academy to continue with their training every day. They even had to arrive on time on weekends.
Moreover, this instructor had also been raised by the Academy. He had already brought students out for several years to compete, so he had a lot of experience with it. Thus, Chu Yu felt that the days passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already time for the match to start.
Early the next morning, she woke up before dawn.
Looking at the time, it was five in the morning. There were still four hours until the competition.
Last night, she nervously tossed and turned about. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. After all, ever since she knew that she had entered the provincial design competition, she had been meticulously preparing for it.
The temptation to get ranked was too great. Everyone wanted to get ranked, and this time's Great Games were a gathering of experts. He did not have an advantage, so he could only keep his feet on the ground.
Ye Zichen sat in the big French window in the living room and looked outside. It was just dawn, and the flowers outside the mansion had not bloomed even after sleeping for an entire night.
Suddenly, a person's shadow appeared on the glass of the window. Chu Yu turned his head, and without him knowing, Xiang Qicheng was standing behind him.
”Did I wake you?” She looked at him embarrassedly and put down the black coffee in her hand. This was something she wanted to refresh herself after four hours.
Xiang Qicheng shook his head, walking straight up to her, extending his hand out, stroking her head, his voice low and hoarse: ”No, nervous? In today's competition. ”
In order to see Chu Yu's match, he had intentionally postponed the monthly meeting with the company so that she wouldn't be so nervous when he was around.
”A little bit. They are all very strong. I don't even know what my advantage is …” ”Forget it, the more important thing to do is to participate …” Chu Yu sighed, he placed his chin on his knees and looked out the window. Daybreak, the street lights were extinguished.
She suddenly thought of Chen Yan. With this experience, he should be able to perform better in this competition, right? They might be contestants from the same academy, but they were already rivals once they entered the field. They felt even less confident in that moment.
”Don't forget first. Do you know what the latter phrase is?” Xiang Qicheng suddenly opened his mouth and stared at her. There were many stars in the sky and there was a faint smile on his face.
”From beginning to end?” Chu Yu looked at Xiang Qicheng in shock. These words were the kind of words his mother would use to encourage him when he was young. When he obtained a ranking in the tournament or when he failed, his mother would use these words to warn him or encourage him.
