Mu Mengzi and Xu Yuyu were really confused. After all, they had never thought about participating in a competition.
Moreover, their grades in school can only be regarded as average. If they are asked to participate in a national academic competition, wouldn't they be used as cannon fodder?
With the word "national" in mind, that is a competition that only top students from various places can participate in!
Lao Ding naturally knew the results of these two girls, and when he gave them this choice, he did not expect them to be able to do it. After all, this kind of competition has been held before, and basically their school's teams have only stopped at the provincial competition.
Over time, the school became disinterested, and it was Ding Mu's turn to decide the participating teams again.
Ding Mu had a headache about this matter, because the content of the department he managed had nothing to do with the content of the competition. In the end, he was forced to have no choice but to shamelessly borrow people from other departments.
Not long ago, he visited many top students in the school, but only Yu Hongyang went there. And he had to talk it over, so he borrowed Yu Hongyang.
Yu Hongyang's grades ranked among the top three in Fangcheng. As for other students, he couldn't force himself on others.
But this team requires five people, and excluding Yu Hongyang, there are still four people missing.
The reason why Ding Mu asked Mu Mengzi and the others to go was purely to gather the number of people.
He had also asked those with better grades before why they didn't go. They didn't say it explicitly, but they obviously didn't want to embarrass themselves or waste time...
After all, not being able to pass national competitions or even provincial competitions is a complete waste of time.
Old Ding was worrying about the candidate when suddenly two girls came.
The team that was originally one person now became three.
It’s really a pillow for when you’re dozing off.
Although it is not good to deceive these two girls, it is also a method that has the best of both worlds. It can not only give Professor Yang an explanation but also add two more candidates.
Just when Lao Ding was thinking about it.
Xu Yuyu smiled bitterly at this moment: "Old Ding..."
"You think too highly of us! It's fine if you want us to participate in some ordinary small competitions, but if you want us to participate in this national level..."
Xu Yuyu looked at Lao Ding helplessly as if asking him if there was any other way.
Mu Mengzi on the side also shook her head helplessly, saying that she didn't want to go either.
Lao Ding rolled his eyes at them angrily: "You think I am counting on you! You are just accessories. You two girls just need to hug classmate Yu Hongyang's thighs."
As he spoke, Lao Ding whispered: "I don't expect you to win any prize for me!"
Xu Yuyu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this sentence. It turned out that he was just going through the motions!
And what Lao Ding said before is also very informative.
Yu Hongyang also wants to participate!!!
As the saying goes: Who has more handsome guys? If you look at more handsome guys, you can live a few more years!
Xu Yuyu instantly changed the problem to the point where Yu Hongyang also wanted to go.
When Old Ding saw Xu Yuyu's expression, a joking smile finally appeared on his lips: "My classmate Yu Hongyang is a handsome guy, don't say that Old Ding didn't give you a chance!"
Hearing these words, Xu Yuyu immediately put her hand on Lao Ding's shoulder with an expression that said, "I understand."
Mu Mengzi on the side watched this scene with the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
Why do I feel like these two are working together...
"Old Ding, how many people are going to participate in the competition this time?" Xu Yuyu asked quickly.
Xu Yuyu asked this mainly to see if there were any "potential rivals" competing with her for Yu Hongyang.
Old Ding rolled his eyes at her.
"It's just you three for now!"
"Hmm! Old Ding, I wonder if you can't find anyone, so you deliberately trick us?"
"Forget it if you don't want to go, Professor Yang is still waiting for you!"
"Ahem...Old Ding, let's go, why don't we go..."
Mu Mengzi looked at those two "bad brothers" and wanted to laugh a little.
…………
Before Mu Mengzi and the others took Ding Mu to find Professor Yang, Professor Yang came to them.
After all, Mu Mengzi and the others didn't come back after being away for so long. Professor Yang thought they had run away, so he came to find Ding Mu.
When I didn't go, I happened to bump into Ding Mu telling Mu Mengzi and the others about the precautions for the competition.
Seeing Professor Yang coming, Ding Mu quickly went up to say hello with a smile.
Professor Yang looked at Ding Mu and snorted coldly in his nose, with a straight face as if someone owed him money.
Ding Mu didn't care that much. He told about Xu Yuyu and Mu Mengzi's participation in the competition, and said that they were late simply because they had to prepare for the competition, so they were delayed.
Professor Yang naturally knew that Ding Mu intended to help the two girls, and he also knew that this competition was a time when the school leaders emphasized it.
He couldn't say anything, so he could only puff up his face and blow his beard, glare at Mu Mengzi and the others and leave.
Seeing that they had escaped, Mu Mengzi and Xu Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding Mu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the school leaders attached great importance to the competition this time, otherwise Professor Yang would never give up.
"Okay, I have told you all the precautions I should tell you. Don't be idle when you go back."
As he said this, Lao Ding went to his desk to get a stack of books and handed them to them.
"It's okay. Read more of the books I told you. Although you are just going to mess around, don't tell me you don't understand anything! If you don't want to lose face in the competition, just work harder!"
Ding Mu warned with a serious look on his face.
Xu Yuyu and Mu Mengzi also nodded to express their understanding.
After Mu Mengzi and the others returned to the dormitory, they lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
But thinking about the competition later, both of them had a headache.
What is this called? Escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's mouth again.
"Ding!"
The mobile phone in Mu Mengzi's pocket vibrated.
There are very few people who have contacted her, probably either the Mu family or Aunt Qin.
Mu Mengzi turned over and took out her phone, clicked on the text message, and saw that it was from Aunt Qin. She didn't know why she felt a little bad when she saw this text message.
Open the text message: Mengzi, Xiaowu and Buwei are back, will you come home tonight?
Mu Mengzi's brows jumped when she saw this text message, with a complicated look in her eyes. It was definitely not a good thing.
Here comes her real headache - Dao Buwei and Jiang Xiaowu are back!
Mu Mengzi typed: No!
She looked at these two words and wanted to send them out, but in the end her fingertips still did not fall.
She hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, deleted those two words, and replied with a "yes".
After typing a good word, Mu Mengzi seemed to have spent all her energy. She threw her phone aside and lay on the bed with open hands, feeling extremely entangled in her heart.
The reason why she didn't want to face Dao Buwei was because Dao Buwei once confessed his love to her. At that time, Mu Mengzi only regarded her as her senior brother, so she rejected Dao Buwei.
From then on, her relationship with Dao Buwei became subtle, and she often avoided him.
Every time Dao Buwei pestered her, she said that she only regarded him as her senior brother, but he just didn't hear that he would definitely move her...
If it was just because of this, Mu Mengzi wouldn't have a headache. What really made him helpless was Aunt Qin's daughter, Jiang Xiaowu.
Jiang Xiaowu has always liked Dao Buwei since she was a child. Before she rejected Dao Buwei, Jiang Xiaowu confessed to Dao Buwei many times, but was rejected by Dao Buwei all the time.
So the relationship between the three of them is a bit strange...
After Mu Mengzi refused, Jiang Xiaowu had to confess to her. Moreover, she was ruthlessly rejected many times.
So Jiang Xiaowu thought that Dao Buwei rejected her because of Mu Mengzi.
From then on, Jiang Xiaowu always opposed Mu Mengzi. Once when she was exterminating a demon, Mu Mengzi was almost killed by Jiang Xiaowu.
Mu Mengzi originally wanted to leave Fangcheng and avoid them.
But on the eve of leaving, Jiang Xiaowu and Dao Buwei actually left first, and they stayed away for more than two years.
Coming back at this time, Mu Mengzi didn't know whether it was good or bad.
She hoped that they would both achieve enlightenment, so that she would not be embarrassed when she saw them.
But it’s a blessing, not a curse, it’s a curse that cannot be avoided!
Mu Mengzi's thoughts were racing for a long time before she returned to calm.
She looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but think of the scene where Li Yanxiao hugged her last night.
For a moment, Mu Mengzi's heartbeat began to accelerate. Mu Mengzi clenched her fists and tried to force herself to calm down, but the more she did, the more the images in her mind couldn't go away.
Mu Mengzi sat up and wanted to wash her face with cold water to calm down, but then she saw that Xu Yuyu was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.
She shook it with a smile, went down gently, and washed her face with cold water.
She was also hungry at this time. After all, she didn't eat much in Xuyuan Pavilion this morning.
Mu Mengzi glanced at Xu Yuyu who was sleeping and didn't want to disturb her, so she quietly left and went to the school supermarket to buy something to eat.
After eating, return to the dormitory.
As soon as she walked to the door of the dormitory, she saw Li Linxi standing there waiting.
Mu Mengzi didn't have a good look when she saw Li Linxi. After all, Li Linxi wanted to take away half of Yu'er's extremely yin fate. If she was not careful, both of them would be destroyed.
Mengzi didn't want to see Li Linxi, so she subconsciously wanted to avoid him.
As a result, Li Linxi saw Mu Mengzi first, and he quickly stepped forward to stop Mu Mengzi.
He looked at Mu Mengzi nervously and asked with concern: "How is Yu'er?"
Mu Mengzi frowned and glanced at Li Linxi, her voice slightly impatient: "Get out of the way!"
Li Linxi looked at Mu Mengzi's cold face, her body trembled and she stiffened, and she got out of the way with a disappointed expression.
Mu Mengzi left.
Li Linxi hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and followed Mu Mengzi: "I came here to see Yu'er..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Mengzi interrupted: "Don't worry, Yu'er is fine. As long as you and Hu Zhe don't get close to Yu'er, she will be better off!"
Li Linxi trembled, and the heartbreak in his eyes was heartbreaking.
And Xiao Haozi appeared out of nowhere: "Little Taoist nun! What are you pulling!"
Mu Mengzi looked at Xiao Haozi, and with a slight flick of her fingertips, a piece of talisman paper fell into her hand.
Xiao Haozi was frightened when he saw the talisman. He hid behind Li Linxi and pouted his mouth without forgetting to say harsh words: "If it weren't for the fact that my cultivation is gone, I would slap you, little Taoist nun, every one of you!"
Mu Mengzi didn't care at all about Xiao Haozi's harsh words. She put away the talisman and continued walking on her own.
Li Linxi followed Mu Mengzi, and after a moment of silence she said, "That Hu Zhe didn't come to school today."
Seeing that Hu Zhe did not appear, Mu Mengzi felt a little uneasy for no reason.
But she didn't say anything and continued walking wordlessly.
Li Linxi followed her all the way to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, whereupon Li Linxi stopped.
Mu Mengzi didn't say anything more to Li Linxi. Anyway, if he wanted to wait, let him wait.
He brought Xu Yuyu some bread and a bottle of milk back.
When I returned, Xu Yuyu was still sleeping.
Mu Mengzi didn't mean to disturb her. She found a few books on the desk that Lao Ding said she might use and started reading them by herself.
Today there is only Professor Yang's class, so there is still free time during the day.
Xu Yuyu didn't wake up until around four o'clock in the afternoon.
She rubbed her fluffy hair and looked around sleepily.
I saw Mu Mengzi sitting at the desk reading a book.
She stood up and staggered over and lay on Mu Mengzi's back: "Concubine Meng Ai, come and help me get dressed!"
Mu Mengzi patted the salty pig's trotters she was touching everywhere: "Go and wash up quickly, I'll bring you bread!"
As she spoke, Mu Mengzi pointed to the bread and milk on the table next to her.
Hearing that there was food, Xu Yuyu's stomach suddenly whined.
The whine of Xu Yuyu's stomach made her wake up a lot. She looked at the bread and milk not far away and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Concubine Meng Ai understands me!"
She hurriedly went to wash up, leaving her hair alone after washing.
She walked directly to the bread and ate it without any courtesy at all.
After a hearty meal, Xu Yuyu lay back on the bed with a look of enjoyment: "Ah! I'm useless, let me be a waste!"
Mu Mengzi looked at Xu Yuyu who was about to go back to sleep again, smiled and shook his head: "Yu'er, don't you read the books that Lao Ding mentioned? What will you do if you lose face?"
When Xu Yuyu heard Mu Mengzi's words, she lazily got up and pulled out a few books and lay back on the bed, flipping through them casually.
Mu Mengzi stopped talking and continued to read the book in her hand.
Within half an hour, Mu Mengzi felt that Xu Yuyu had stopped moving, so she turned her head and looked over.
Xu Yuyu had fallen asleep at this time...
Mu Mengzi had seen this situation too many times, sighed and shook her head, while looking at the time.
The time was almost up, so she stood up quietly, went to her cabinet, and took out her peach wood sword and Taoist uniform from the innermost secret compartment.
He also took a guitar case as a cover and put the mahogany sword and Taoist clothing inside.
After getting ready, he left a note to Xu Yuyu who was still sleeping and left with the guitar case on his back.
She was preparing to return to Taoism.
When I went downstairs, I saw Li Linxi still waiting.
Mu Mengxi was surprised for a moment, then her expression returned to normal and she left without opening a word.
Li Linxi naturally saw Mu Mengzi. This time he did not go there, but waited for the person he had been waiting for.
Mu Mengzi walked for a while, frowning and looking back at the lonely figure.
Unable to hold back, she walked over and said, "No need to wait!"
When Li Linxi saw Mu Mengzi coming to see her, she smiled slightly sadly: "It's okay..."
Seeing that he was stubborn, Mu Mengzi ignored him and turned around to leave. This time she really left.
