âXiao Rou, so youâre here!â Li Li struggled out of the crowd. âI thought that the eldest daughter of the Tao family was you.â
Tan Rou looked at Tao Yue in the crowd and smiled.
âArenât you the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the Capital? Why was there another daughter of the Tao family here? Could it be that there were several Tao families in the capital?â
âItâs the same family.â Tan Rou said, âShe was originally the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital.â
âThen now that youâre back. Arenât you the eldest daughter of the Tao family?â Li Li continued.
âIt doesnât matter.â Tan Rou pulled Li Li and quickly left the scene. âLetâs go in quickly. Otherwise, people will block the road and we wonât be able to enter.â
Lu Qing had been following Li Li. He thought that it was Tan Rou as well and almost shouted her name,
Tao Yue didnât notice Tan Rou. She was busy dealing with the media. There would be reporters outside the venue of such a large-scale competition. In order to appear in front of the cameras in her most beautiful state, Tao Yue specially wore a new dress today. Dresses and gowns would not be able to keep her warm but she still wore them anyways. There was a heater in the venue, so it would be fine as long as she could get through this section of the road.
The morning competition was a team competition. To ensure that everything was fair, they randomly picked names and divide them into groups of three. As long as one person in the team answered correctly, all the members of the team would get one point.
Fortunately, Li Li was in the same group as Tan Rou, but Lu Qing was also very lucky. He had two other good teammates, one of whom was in the same school as Tao Yue.
The emcee divided the teams on stage. When Tan Ronâs name was called, he deliberately called her up. âThis contestant Tan Rou is also one that we should be aware of. I saw her results in the previous few matches. She scored full marks all the time. Iâm guessing that sheâs definitely one of the top ten in the country this time.â
Tan Rou! Tao Yue suddenly became alert. She stared at the young girl in the middle of the venue. She was indeed very familiar. She looked like the girl in the photo sent by her uncle but she looked much better in real life than in the photo.
Tan Rou didnât like the feeling of being in the center of attention. She stood up and sat down after getting familiar with her face.
The match in the morning was very intense. Under Tan Ronâs lead, Tan Ronâs team was ranked first on the leaderboard. The boy who was led by her and Li Li answered a question because he really couldnât get the chance to answer. However, he didnât have many questions to answer.
âTan Rou, thank you so much.â The bespectacled boy said excitedly, âIâll treat you to a meal after the competition.â
âWeâre a team, thereâs no need to talk about this.â Tan Rou said lightly. âAs for dinner, donât worry about it. Iâm having dinner with my classmates tonight.â The boy with glasses asked, âHow many are there from your school?â
Li Li said, âThere are three of us. Thereâs two of us and a boy in another team.â
The bespectacled boy nodded slightly. âIâm the only one who came to our school. If I didnât meet you guys, 1 probably wouldnât have the courage to continue the competition.â
Although they would be competitors in the future, Tan Rou still encouraged him, âSince youâre here, you should compete well. Your school has placed all their hopes on you. How can you give up so easily?â
The bespectacled boy seemed to be encouraged. He patted his face and said, âOkay, Iâll continue to work hard in the next competition. Donât be defeated by me!â
Tan Rou smiled. âAlright, letâs do it together!â
After the boy left, Li Li looked at Tan Rou with admiration. âRourou, youâre my goddess indeed!!!â
âWhat strange lines did you come up with this time?â Tan Rou asked with a smile.
âNo, no.â Li Li waved his hand. âI really think youâre the best. This afternoonâs competition is an individual competition, and you actually encouraged your opponent. Thatâs too noble of you!â
Tan Rou said, âWith more opponents, you will feel a higher sense of accomplishment when you win.â
As she spoke, Tao Yue walked over. Tan Rou saw her coming over and wanted to pull Li away.
âLetâs go eat.â Tan Rou said.
However, Tao Yue had already noticed her. Seeing that Tan Rou was about to leave, she quickly ran over and stood in front of Tan Rou.
Tan Rou frowned slightly and took the initiative to ask, âIs everything alright?â
Tao Yue gave a perfect smile and extended her right hand. âNice to meet you. My name is Tao Yue..â
