Chapter 3308 - 3308 Always Second Place

3308 Always Second Place

Will I get second place forever? Leng Xiaoyao joked.

If you end up in second place, thats not too bad. Zhou Jing replied.

As long as they placed in the top 3, they would be guaranteed admission to the Capital University. Therefore, the honor would still go to the Experimental High School of City Chang.

Zhou Jing wasnt confident about getting first place, but she was sure that Leng Xiaoyao would place in the top 3.

This time, Fan Xiaoyu didnt dare to say anything. She was just jealous beyond words.

The first place was still the guy who got the highest score in the first round, with one point more than Leng Xiaoyao again.

Mu Beihan moved up one spot and ranked 7th.

Meanwhile, Fan Xiaoyu fell back several rankings and was no longer among the top 20. She was devastated.

The student who was previously in third place fell to fourth, while the one who was fifth climbed to third.

There werent many students who remained in their original rankings.

Around 1 pm, Li Mochen called Leng Xiaoyao to ask about the compet.i.tion. She filled him in on the details.

Will it be over today? Li Mochen asked.

Yeah, the finals are this afternoon. Then itll be over. Leng Xiaoyao replied.

Are you still staying at the hotel tonight, or are you going to Hanlin Manor? Everything is there. The cleaning staff has already done their job. You can check in at any time, Li Mochen said.

Lets go to Hanlin Manor! I can leave as soon as the compet.i.tion ends, Leng Xiaoyao said. Since it was all over, she didnt want to waste any time staying at the hotel.

She was eager to see her house and have a sparring session with Li Mochen to absorb his chaotic energy and practice her skills.

Great, I can come to pick you up this afternoon, and well go to Hanlin Manor after we eat. Li Mochen suggested.

Sure. Leng Xiaoyao answered.

Leng Xiaoyao didnt avoid saying this out loud. Although her voice wasnt loud, many people still heard it.

Hanlin Manor?

That was a high-end villa area in the capital City!

Do you have relatives living in Hanlin Manor, Leng Xiaoyao? someone asked her. Since Leng Xiaoyao was from City Chang, they naturally wouldnt think that she had a house in Hanlin Manor.

Yeah! Leng Xiaoyao replied without explaining further.

No one doubted her reply.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mochen fell into a daze.

For the past two days, he had been quietly thinking about his feelings for Leng Xiaoyao. He had no experience with a romantic relations.h.i.+p before, so he wasnt sure if he liked her or not, but he was certain that when he was with her, he felt inexplicably at ease and didnt think too deeply about things.

When he wasnt with Leng Xiaoyao, he couldnt help but think about her. She always seemed to easily affect his emotions.

When he heard that she had been schemed against by someone, he was angry and wanted to protect her.

He thought of what Leng Xiaoyao said about their previous incarnation and how they were a couple. He even had the idea of marrying Leng Xiaoyao in this incarnation as well.

Perhaps he really liked Leng Xiaoyao, and she held a high position in his heart.

However, until he clearly figured out his feelings, he would keep these things to himself.

That afternoon was the oral defense, which was the most challenging part and could easily make students nervous.

As soon as they arrived at the exam room, some students said that they were getting nervous.

There were not only many students from the Capital University watching, but also its president, a professor of Language Y, and senior leaders from the Education Bureau as judges, as well as reporters from TV stations recording the compet.i.tion.

Fortunately, they were all experienced. Even if they were nervous, they wouldnt lose their manners.

If it was their first compet.i.tion, they might have lost control of themselves!

On the other hand, Leng Xiaoyao stayed calm. She had partic.i.p.ated in countless compet.i.tions like this when she was in the Dongxia United Kingdom, so it was like playing for her.

This time, each student had to answer ten questions for a total of a hundred points.

The score could be high, but the difficulty was also high.

The order of the defense was based on rankings, so Leng Xiaoyao was the second.

The male student who ranked first went up first, still feeling a little nervous.

The higher the ranking, the more attention they received. After the first round of rankings came out, they all knew the information about the top few rankings. They had a deep impression of Leng Xiaoyao because she was too beautiful.

Not only was she beautiful, but her grades were also outstanding.

The first student to answer the questions on stage was a little nervous at first, but he stabilized after answering several questions.

However, he failed to answer all the questions at the end.

Therefore, the first students final score was 95 points.

It wasnt a bad result.

After all, the questions werent only difficult but also oral, and oral communication had always been more difficult than written communication.

In writing, they could pause and think, but in oral communication, they couldnt.

If they paused for one or two seconds, it wouldnt have much impact, but if it exceeded three seconds, it would have an impact. After all, this compet.i.tion was an oral defense, and the focus was on defense.

When it was Leng Xiaoyaos turn, she immediately caused a sensation.

Oh my G.o.d! This girl is so beautiful!

Shes stunning, and shes currently in second place!

I have a feeling that if this girl comes to our university, the current most popular girl might lose her t.i.tle.

Hearing that, Leng Xiaoyao felt frustrated upon thinking of Gao Qilu.

She didnt want to be in trouble all the time!

Actually, being the most popular girl didnt necessarily mean being the most beautiful in the school. The prettiest girl was selected by the students themselves or by the majority of people who liked a certain image or style.

Different people had different preferences, so it mainly depended on what kind of image and style the majority of people liked.

Peonies and roses were both beautiful, but they were liked or disliked by different people.

Leng Xiaoyao wasnt nervous at all, which left a good impression on the judges.

She answered the questions smoothly, just like a teacher explaining a problem, very vividly.

There were also some shortcomings, but she only lost 2 points, so Leng Xiaoyaos final score was 98 points.

Although this was just the beginning and many students were still waiting to answer, it was unlikely that anyone would surpa.s.s Leng Xiaoyao.

Even though the defense compet.i.tion had been held before, it was still the first time a score of 98 points appeared! The highest score before was only 97 points.

Now, the high score that hadnt appeared before appeared this year. After all, a score of 98 points appeared this time.

With a score of 98 points, Leng Xiaoyao left a deep impression on the judges. They already identified her as one of the top 3.

The final ranking wasnt based solely on this round since the scores from the previous two rounds were included, but Leng Xiaoyao had been in second place in both of those rounds. Therefore, there was basically no suspense about her being in the top 3.

Because of that, Zhou Jing was very excited.
