Chapter 409: Get Used to Being Hungry
Xu Zheng said to Pei Xuanxi: "Thank you for what you did just now."
Pei Xuanxi smiled and said, "It's okay, I should do it." He took out his cell phone, "Where is classmate Xu going? Why don't we add each other's contact information?"
Xu Zheng nodded, and after adding it, she thought of Meng Yin and the other two who were still waiting for her backstage, so she said hello and left.
Pei Xuanxi looked at Xu Zheng's lively back, guessing what she would do in a while, and quickly made a few phone calls.
Backstage, Meng Yin and the other two came forward and asked with concern: "A Zheng, are you okay?"
Xu Zheng smiled and said, "What can I do?"
Meng Yin was so angry: "That damn reporter can ask whatever he wants. He can't live without annoying people."
Xu Zheng patted her clothes and said, "That's it."
Meng Yin came close to her with an auntie smile on her face: "A Zheng~ Why would the men's champion speak for you? Is there something going on?"
Xu Zheng felt a chill and said, "How could that be? It was because I helped him and told him that someone would drug him. He was quite smart and caught that person. It was a relief!"
"So that's how it is." Meng Yin nodded, "Should we go have a good meal then?"
Xu Zheng said, "Okay, let me talk to the coach and change clothes. We haven't been out for a walk since we got here."
Tao Tao said weakly: "But we can't seem to afford those things."
Three people: It seems so...
"Well, let's go eat hotpot, is that okay?" Xu Zheng put her arms around them and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll pay. It's a good opportunity to make some money from commissioned writing." Meng Yin said.
Xia Nian spread out his hands: "Then I'll just join in the fun and not eat more."
She didn't want to spoil the fun either. They were supposed to play together, and they had to exercise restraint.
After Xu Zheng changed her clothes and went out, the few of them strolled around until the evening before slowly going to look for a hot pot restaurant.
"Wait for me to search." Meng Yin said, taking out her phone, "It's so expensive, why don't we go back and buy it ourselves?"
Just thinking about them sitting together at the table eating and chatting makes me feel extremely happy.
"Why don't we go back?" Tao Tao said.
"Oh my god, I've already got the bonus, so what can't I eat? Eat!" Xu Zheng patted his chest and pulled them forward.
"This one seems good." Meng Yin said.
The three of them looked up and saw that this hot pot restaurant did not have that much of a life atmosphere. The environment was very good and it was said online that the taste was good too, but it did not look cheap.
"Or else..." Before Tao Tao could finish her words, a clerk suddenly rushed out and said with a smile: "You came at the right time. We have an event in our store today. The 500th person who walks by here can dine in the store for free, and all drinks and food are free."
"Huh?" The four were shocked. How could they have such good luck just walking on the street?
The clerk walked over to them and invited them in, saying, "Absolutely free! There's no limit on the number of people, and we can even go to a private room."
They were still confused when they were already seated in the private room. The waiter brought the menu and Meng Yin was the first to realize that it didn't want to pay, so don't blame her for being rude!
Xia Nian said: "This is too... unusual."
Tao Tao also thought so, but Xu Zheng and Meng Yin didn't care. They ordered the dishes and started pouring drinks.
"Is God starting to favor us?" Meng Yin said with a smile.
"Maybe." Tao Tao said.
Xu Zheng waved her hand and said, "Don't think about it. Today is a good day. After dinner, go back and have a good sleep. You will be home tomorrow."
This made sense. When the dishes were ready, the three of them picked up their chopsticks and started eating. Xia Nian was still concerned about the competition, so he only ate a little and then stopped.
The three of them admired how she could be so determined. Xia Nian smiled and said, "You get used to being hungry."
They sighed repeatedly, saying that learning dance is not easy, and learning it well is even more difficult.
-
The dance video submitted by Xia Nian successfully passed the preliminary selection. In the following days, she went to school and rehearsed the play every day, and came back late at night.
A month later, Xia Nian successfully stepped onto the finals stage. Unlike the karate competition, she went to another city with her teacher to compete, but there were no audiences in the audience, only judges.
She went there a day in advance and came back the next afternoon. It happened to be the weekend, so after picking her up, the three of them went to the restaurant they had booked in advance to have dinner.
At the dinner table, Meng Yin asked, "Niannian, are you sure?"
"Win the championship! Win the championship!" Xu Zheng shouted.
Xia Nian smiled slightly: "I'm not sure about the champion, there are many talented players."
"Be confident." Tao Tao said with a smile.
Xia Nian nodded. She was indeed very confident, especially after listening to the comments of the judges. These judges were very strict. Many people who came to practice their courage but had no strength were moved to tears. However, Xia Nian received unanimous praise.
Even if she can't win the first prize, at least she'll get a ranking. She's going for the prize money.
After the meal, Meng Yin paid on her phone. Xia Nian asked, "Yin Yin, aren't we going to split the bill?"
Meng Yin waved her hand: "No need, I've made a lot of money from commissioned writing recently." As she spoke, she walked out with the three of them.
A gust of wind blew in her face. Meng Yin tucked her hair behind her ears and continued, "Recently, my fanatical fans have been asking me to write for them. They are all simple drawings, but the money they pay is no less than 500 yuan. I have made a lot of money now, haha."
After hearing this, Xia Nian nodded slightly, but couldn't help thinking about it.
With all the things that happened these days, she felt as if someone was deliberately helping them.
Especially the meals that were delivered to them when they were in the hotel, who were those three people?
After returning home, the four of them packed up quickly. Since this flat only had one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, they all lived in one room. Fortunately, this room was originally decorated with tatami, so they slept on the floor and fell asleep while chatting at night.
A week later, the school had a three-day holiday. The four of them sat around a small wooden table, eating, chatting, and playing with their phones, occasionally checking the official website of the competition that Xia Nian participated in.
Meng Yin finished her draft, and the three people next to her were discussing what movie to watch tomorrow.
Tao Tao looked at Meng Yin who was stretching and asked with a smile: "Yin Yin, we are going to see a movie tomorrow, what do you want to see?"
Xu Zheng said: "I'll treat you tomorrow. Haha, I haven't even spent the bonus money."
Meng Yin put down her hand and subconsciously switched the screen to Baidu. "I'm fine with anything, as long as it's not a bad movie."
As soon as the interface refreshed, her eyes widened and she shouted, "Oh my God, look at the official website of the competition! Nian Nian, Nian Nian is first!"
When the three heard this, they immediately picked up their phones to check. Sure enough, on the official website homepage, there were the ranking of the competition results and the dancing videos of the first, second and third place winners.
Xia Nian's name is the first, and the video is also the first, and the number of views is continuing to rise.
Xu Zheng screamed and shook Xia Nian's arm.
At the same time, Xia Nian's cell phone rang. It was a call from the teacher of the institution, with a message from Cheng Zhou and a notification that she had won first place.
"Hello, teacher." Xia Nian answered the phone first with a smile on his face.
"Xia Nian, have you seen the news? It's number one! It brings honor to our institution. I just made an appointment with the principal to celebrate tomorrow. We're going to make a big poster and put it on the door of our institution."
Xia Nian was embarrassed. This was indeed a good opportunity for publicity. After all, no dance organization here had ever produced a champion in a large-scale competition.
"Okay, I understand." Xia Nian said.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Nian apologized to the three people: "I can't watch the movie tomorrow. I have to go to the agency."
Xu Zheng hugged her and said, "It's okay. It's the same if we go the day after tomorrow. We have three days off. It's just right for us to celebrate the day after tomorrow. Now we have three champions in our family."
Tao Tao was stunned, "I'm so useless..."
Xu Zheng held her in her arms: "Oh, if there is a competition to see who is the cutest, our Taozi will definitely be on the list."
Tao Tao said helplessly: "A Zheng."
Having said that, she was still a little sad. Xia Nian and Xu Zheng had won many awards in junior high school, and they were even more outstanding in high school. Meng Yin accidentally participated in a provincial design competition a few days before school started and won first place. She was also noticed by a local art studio and could go to classes without paying tuition.
From this perspective, she seems to be useless.
Seeing Tao Tao's sadness, Xia Nian said softly: "Everyone is good at different things, Taozi, don't let your imagination run wild."
Hearing this, Tao Tao raised her head. The three of them looked at her. Her eyes became firm and she said, "Okay! I will study hard!"
After saying that, the three of them nodded with satisfaction and began to talk about how to celebrate the day after tomorrow. Xia Nian took the time to reply to a few messages from Cheng Zhou.
But Tao Tao found something wrong. If it were in the past, she would be sad for a while, but now she was only sad for a moment.
Just as she was thinking, Xu Zheng suddenly pounced on her and said with a smile: "It's time to take a bath and go to bed!"
Tao Tao's thoughts were interrupted and she stopped thinking as Xu Zheng pulled her up.
On the bed, all three of them fell asleep, and Xia Nian was still reading everyone's comments under the video.
Most of them were praising her, and some said that there was a big gap in strength between the first and second place. Xia Nian took a few glances and then closed them. She cared more about when the prize money would arrive.
