Zheng Zhi looked in the direction he pointed. A bit embarrassed, she said, "No, thanks, classmate Xie Zhe. I'm not qualified to go there."
The students of their school were only allowed to watch outside the yellow line. During the competition, the school would broadcast it on the big screen.
Even so, it wasn't as good as watching inside the yellow line.
"It's okay. Classmate Shi Wan has reserved a seat for you there. Let's go."
"Really? That's great!"
Xie Zhe curled his lips and followed beside her.
The members of their club had been dispersed. After the previous incident, many in the club knew that Shi Wan wasn't very capable and were reluctant to be in a group with her.
For an ordinary competition, it wouldn't matter, but now with the temptation at stake, being in a group with Shi Wan meant they were doomed to lose.
"Classmate Shi Wan, I'll be in a group with you."
Unexpectedly, Ma Yi stepped forward and offered her hand.
"Isn't that Ma Yi? I remember her ability is quite good. She's second only to the club president. Why is she looking for trouble by teaming up with Shi Wan?"
"Maybe she has a savior complex."
"Stupid. Having a savior complex at this time is just hurting herself."
"......"
Ma Yi's initiative was beyond everyone's expectations.
Shi Wan raised her eyes. "Sorry, my hand hurts. I can't shake it."
Everyone could tell that it was just an excuse. She simply didn't want to shake hands.
Only Ma Yi remained calm and smiled. "Is your hand okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No, thanks."
Looking at her not - very - swollen hand, Shi Wan walked towards the competition area.
Ma Yi stared at her back for a few seconds and followed.
The competition started. The cheers on the scene almost drowned out the host's voice.
"Who's that? She's so beautiful. I didn't expect there was such a beauty in their department!"
The big screen showed every contestant, but Shi Wan was the most eye - catching.
Her beautiful fox - like eyes casually met the camera, and her red lips curled slightly. The scene seemed to freeze as everyone stared at the girl on the screen, not making any extra movements.
Even their breathing became cautious, afraid that a big move would wake them from this dream.
Shen Siyan, sitting with Wen Renjin, darkened a few degrees. But on closer inspection, one could find pride in his narrow eyes.
The girl who had made everyone lose their minds was his woman.
She would be his for a lifetime, for generations to come.
"That's Shi Wan. She's quite famous recently. The renowned miracle doctor Cuncunjin."
Someone said something, and others came back to their senses.
"Cuncunjin? Not only is she beautiful, but she's also so good at medicine! Goddess!"
"But a doctor participating in this kind of competition? Isn't that a joke?"
"Yeah, these two fields are completely unrelated."
"Oops, my goddess is going to make a fool of herself."
"……"
Hearing this, Wen Renjin laughed. "What should we do? So many people are vying for your wife. On one hand, there are outstanding and energetic college students, and on the other hand, there's the so - called useless Second Young Master Shen, who's old and washed - up. Which woman wouldn't know what to choose?"
He thought Shen Siyan would get angry, but the man just gave him a look.
He said casually, "What Guagua likes, they don't have. Like my face."
Wen Renjin's face stiffened. Before he could scold, he heard the man say nonchalantly, "Some people are so old that even a female fly wouldn't look at them. They're probably going to be alone for the rest of their lives."
"Damn it!" Wen Renjin stood up abruptly. "Who says no one likes me? I stand out in the crowd! I'm a head - turner!"
"Really? If you can find five people looking at you on the scene, I'll give you a one - year vacation with pay."
"That's easy!"
Wen Renjin stood in the crowd confidently and looked around.
However, after a minute, everyone was still immersed in watching Shi Wan and couldn't snap out of it.
Wen Renjin: "……"
He didn't believe it!
"Excuse me, sir."
Suddenly, a shy voice sounded beside him. There was a glint of hope in Wen Renjin's eyes, and his look at Shen Siyan was full of pride.
But the girl's next words sent him to hell.
The girl said sheepishly, "Could you please sit down? You're blocking our view."
And the direction she was referring to was exactly where Shen Siyan was.
He gave up. With this couple around, who would notice him?
The few who weren't captivated by Shi Wan were hooked by Shen Siyan.
No one even wanted to look at him.
Wen Renjin was extremely depressed.
Shen Siyan ignored him and couldn't take his eyes off the big screen where Shi Wan was.
"Keep looking. Your wife is still going to lose. It's suicidal. Why doesn't she just be a good doctor instead of coming to compete in computer science?"
Wen Renjin spoke the truth.
A cold smile played on Shen Siyan's lips. "How about we make another bet?"
"Bet on what? Ten years of being single? I don't need that. I've been single for over twenty years."
"If you lose, no vacation, no salary, and you'll work for me for another year for free."
"Old poisoner, black - bellied dog..." The scolding words were finally swallowed back under someone's cold gaze. "Fine, I'll bet! If you lose, you manage the company yourself."
There were many great masters in the competition. Even if Shi Wan had studied this, she would have to admit defeat in front of them!
Shen Siyan didn't say a word. He picked up his phone and took a few pictures of his Guagua.
He wondered what her reaction would be when she found out he was here?
While they were talking, the first round of the competition was over. Shi Wan advanced, coming in last but just making it into the second round.
Shi Wan propped her chin on her hand and lazily tapped the keyboard.
"Classmate Shi Wan, do you have confidence in the next round?"
"What's the next round?"
The smile on Ma Yi's face obviously froze. "It's still about the firewall, but it will be more difficult than the first round."
"Okay, as long as you're confident. Although we're in a group of two, we're not really cooperating, so you don't have to worry about me."
The contestants all wore amplifiers. One reason was to prevent them from communicating and cheating, and the other was to handle any malfunctions in a timely manner.
Everyone heard what Shi Wan said.
"Shi Wan is so arrogant. Does she even know what she's doing?"
"She doesn't, but she has to act arrogant! Didn't you see she came in last? She just barely made it into the next round."
"Never mind. As a face - obsessed person, I'm willing to always kneel before her beauty."
"I can already predict that Shi Wan will be the first one out in the next round."
"……"
Ma Yi didn't know what was going on outside, but what Shi Wan said just now had spread.
Such words and tone would probably make many people dislike her, right?
"Just do your best."
The second round of the competition began.
The second round was about the school's security defense system. The only change in the rules was that in the first round, they only needed to break through, while in the second round, they also needed to repair and strengthen it.
