I'm afraid I'm not interested in love
Chapter 287
Chapter 287
The time for the debate was set at nine o'clock in the morning the next day. Since the organizer was from the University of Washington, the location was also arranged on the other side's campus.
Su Chengyi originally planned to pack up and go out at early eight o'clock. Anyway, the two schools are next to each other and very close to each other.
However, at seven o'clock in the morning, he was forced to wake up by Deng Yizhou's fatal serial calls.
He turned it on to vibration mode before going to bed last night. When he opened his eyes, he felt like someone had hit his head hard with a mallet, making him feel numb.
"Are you up? Come to the cafeteria to have breakfast first, and then take the car there together.
By the way, wear formal attire. As I reminded you last night, you can wear a down jacket or something outside first.
Do you have one in your dormitory? If not, I’ll bring you a set of mine now.”
The president worried about the old lady and kept chattering on the other side of the receiver.
Su Chengyi closed his eyes and calmed down for a while before replying slowly:
"I have."
"What's there? Formal wear?"
"Ah."
Yangliu gave him a set for his birthday. He hasn't tried it on yet, but the size shouldn't be a big problem.
"Be smart, you are the face of our team."
Deng Yizhou sounded relieved, but he quickly emphasized.
Su Chengyi opened his eyes and sat up.
"You seemed to have told Ye Ju the same thing last night."
".Both men and women need a facade."
Deng Yizhou coughed and changed the subject:
"Okay, come over as soon as you finish packing. I'll order the xiaolongbao for you first, but what about you?"
"Ah."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chengyi hung up the phone.
There will be no end to the explanation, so let’s talk face to face when we get there.
He got out of bed and prepared to wash up.
It was only seven o'clock, and Li Tao was no longer in bed, probably going for a morning run.
Shangguan Yu was already awake and was lying on his back on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
Only Matthew was still snoring.
"Woke you up? Sorry."
Su Chengyi lowered his voice and whispered.
"No, no, my own alarm clock."
Shangguan Yu waved his hands quickly, looking a little panicked.
We have been together for a few months, and he is still so cautious, maybe it is because he is born like this.
Su Chengyi didn't want to change anyone's mind, so he just nodded.
"Are you going to the debate competition? Come on!"
Shangguan Yu scratched his head and said with a smile.
"it is good."
Su Chengyi smiled back and walked into the bathroom carrying toiletries.
By the way, I tried on the suit given by Yangliu.
The classic black and white color and the gilding pattern on the cuffs are very stylish, making the overall suit look high-end and luxurious.
Su Chengyi straightened his cuffs and tied his tie.
Fortunately, he is already a returned social animal, otherwise he might not know how to tie a tie at this time.
The person in the mirror still looks a little green, but he can already afford this suit, and it doesn't give people the funny feeling of a child sneaking into his parents' clothes.
Su Chengyi turned around and walked out, and received an exclamation from Shangguan Yu.
"Oh! You look so handsome in this outfit."
Su Chengyi smiled, took a black woolen coat from the hanger, and answered truthfully:
"Mom bought it."
"No wonder, it suits you very well."
Shangguan Yu's eyes were a little envious, but he quickly calmed down.
Of course, Su Chengyi didn't notice this. He went back to get his cell phone and the materials he prepared last night and went out.
Otherwise, if we wait a little longer, Deng Yizhou will call again.
This time happened to be the peak traffic period in the morning. Su Chengyi looked a little out of place in a formal suit walking among the crowd.
Still a little uncomfortable.
He had no choice but to lower his head to avoid the cross gazes and quicken his pace.
Sometimes Su Chengyi feels that his social anxiety has not been cured, but has only temporarily entered an incubation period.
It always happens suddenly again at some unknown time, like now.
But he must not let it happen today. He still has a mission.
If you suddenly can't say a word in a debate, that's really the end of the world.
With this slightly stressful mood, Su Chengyi looked at the mottled stone bricks under his feet and sighed softly.
"Classmates, please stay~"
At this time, a clear and charming voice sounded next to him.
Su Chengyi paused and raised his head.
Chu Qingmian came out of nowhere. When she met Su Chengyi's confused eyes, she bent her eyes and smiled.
As if oxygen was suddenly injected into him, Su Chengyi felt that his depressed heart became relaxed again.
"What's wrong? Didn't you wake up?"
Chu Qingmian raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Ah."
Su Chengyi knew that she could tell that something was wrong with him, so he simply followed her words.
"Huh, I told you to go to bed early last night."
Chu Qingmian stood on tiptoes and pinched his earlobe.
"Are you cold? How can you pretend to be cool by wearing this little thing! Everyone is wearing down jackets."
Su Chengyi shook his head. The weather was very good today, the sun was shining brightly, and he didn't feel cold all the way along.
"Have you met our president and the others?"
"Yeah! It's in the cafeteria. Our debating club will also be watching the competition today."
"what?"
Su Chengyi frowned slightly.
"What! Are you not satisfied?"
Chu Qingmian glared at him.
"That's not it."
Su Chengyi quickly changed his tune.
The two of them walked side by side to a cafeteria.
Chu Qingmian seemed to be in a good mood. She jumped up and down a few steps, then turned around and took out the bottle that she had kept in her down jacket pocket.
"Here~here is this for you."
"what?"
Su Chengyi took it. The glass bottle was still warm.
She should have carried it like this all the way, keeping warm with her body.
Chu Qingmian pursed her lips and smiled.
"Latte, I made it myself this morning."
"Added sugar?"
".What's going on!"
"It's nothing."
In order to prove that he didn't mean to dislike it, Su Chengyi had no choice but to unscrew the bottle cap and take a sip.
The entrance is smooth and fragrant, and the whole person feels refreshed. The raw material must be high-quality coffee beans.
It tastes much better than the instant one, but unfortunately it's a little on the sweeter side.
Su Chengyi put the bottle into his coat pocket and pinched Chu Qingmian's face.
"Thank you."
Chu Qingmian became arrogant when she was praised, looking quite proud.
"You're welcome! I think I'm very talented at grinding coffee by hand. This is my eleventh time."
Su Chengyi heard it funny, and just as he was about to laugh at her, he caught a glimpse of a figure jumping up and down like a monkey in the cafeteria.
It's Deng Yizhou. He has obviously been waiting here for a long time.
"Come on, the buns are getting cold!"
Su Chengyi nodded distantly and looked at Chu Qingmian next to him.
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
"Eat~ I ate half of roasted corn, a piece of toast, and a bottle of yogurt."
"Are you losing weight?"
Su Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly. For Miss Chu, this ordinary amount of food seemed a bit abnormal.
"What do you mean!"
Chu Qingmian punched him.
"Isn't it okay if I'm not hungry today?"
"Then eat some more with me."
".OK then."
The heating in the canteen is turned on very well. There are many people in this place, and the aroma of all kinds of food is blowing towards our faces.
Deng Yizhou pointed to the table, which was full of food. There were all kinds of food, and it looked like a buffet.
"Sit down and eat quickly. We'll take the shuttle bus there in about twenty minutes." Su Chengyi nodded and sat down in front of the steamed buns.
"Eat slowly and don't rush, the milk is there.
Have you brought the information? Bring it over and I'll check it again. "
Deng Yizhou took the information handed over by Su Chengyi, flipped through it and picked up his cell phone to dial.
"Yes, everyone here is here. You can come over later, what? The third debate is not here yet? You call his mobile phone number, and I read you to write, 187."
Su Chengyi looked at his hurried appearance and shook his head secretly.
I became more and more determined that I would never participate in any election for the leader of a society.
Su Chengyi lowered his head and took a bite of the Xiao Long Bao in front of him. The soup was rich and the crab roe was fragrant. Surprisingly, it was a very authentic Jiangnan flavor.
He picked up one and put it into the hot dry noodle bowl next to Chu Qingmian.
"You have organized this information very well, but when it comes to the closing argument, be careful not to just read the manuscript. The key is to summarize the entire argument."
Deng Yizhou finished the phone call and sat across from him to give his final instructions.
Su Chengyi nodded and continued to eat the buns seriously.
Chu Qingmian said "Huh?" in surprise, then turned her head and asked:
"Su Chengyi, are you Si Bian?"
"uh-huh."
"I didn't expect it."
Chu Qingmian blinked, a little surprised.
She originally guessed that Su Chengyi must be arguing.
Because the task of the first debate is to formulate the team's opening argument and explain its side's content during the questioning session, generally speaking, it is more suitable for Su Chengyi's usual personality.
In the fourth debate, you need to be responsible for summarizing your submissions, that is, summarizing your own views and sublimating and developing them.
When the previous discussions are tense and it is difficult to determine the winner, the concluding remarks of the four debates will become the final judgment criterion, and its importance is self-evident.
The fourth debate needs to have the momentum of "the final word".
Needless to say about the second and third debates.
The second debate is responsible for refutation and inference. It requires challenging and questioning the opponent, and finding conflicts and fallacies in the opponent's views to attack them.
The task of the third debate is to set up conceptual and logical traps and lead the other party into misunderstandings through the art of language. Simply put, it is to "dig holes and lay mines."
Neither of these seemed like something Su Chengyi could do.
"Originally, I was planning to let him argue."
Deng Yizhou scratched his head and explained:
"But you know, beauty has always been recognized since ancient times."
As soon as these words came out, Su Chengyi almost choked to death on the bun in his mouth.
Chu Qingmian held back a smile and handed the strawberry milk to his mouth.
She has heard this statement before.
Because in their courtyard, she was also a debater.
So this is the reason why he and Ye Ju changed places? ?
In the original plan, he was in the first debate, but Ye Ju originally wanted to be in the third debate. She herself felt that the task of "digging holes and laying mines" was very suitable for her.
Especially compared to giving a serious opening statement.
But Deng Yizhou had learned about the lineup of the opposite BGI through various gossips.
The first one is a little beauty, and the fourth one is a dazzling newcomer who is said to be very good.
The countermeasure adopted by Deng Yizhou was to use the same configuration to crush the opponent when troops came to block the water and earth.
After all, he has absolute trust in the two newcomers he brought.
"Have you finished eating? Let's go after eating."
Deng Yizhou stood up and looked at his watch.
Su Chengyi drank the strawberry milk handed over by Chu Qingmian.
"Then I'll go over. Our club is in another car."
Chu Qingmian pointed to another door and quietly scratched the palm of his hand under the table.
"it is good."
Su Chengyi nodded.
"Come on, see you soon."
Chu Qingmian blinked.
"I will support you in the audience."
She made a dangling love gesture with her hands.
"This spectator, please do not interfere with our debaters."
Su Chengyi stood up seriously.
"See you later."
After getting on the shuttle bus, Su Chengyi discovered that Deng Yizhou must have informed everyone to dress formally.
The people in the car were all wearing suits, as if they were being taken to a big company for an interview.
Only Ye Ju's style of painting is still different. She is wearing a Japanese girls' high school uniform and a red plaid bow tie.
It's not that it's informal, it's just too youthful.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it looks good."
Deng Yizhou didn't express any opinions on this. He seemed to only care about the definition of "facade".
"President, I suddenly thought of another point."
"President, President, I have a case material, why can't I find it?"
"Look at the group, the vice president sent a link."
After just ten minutes of driving, Deng Yizhou was still confused.
Only the two people sitting in the front row were quiet.
Su Chengyi looked out the window in a daze, while Ye Ju on the other side had already tilted his head and fell asleep.
Her head shook more and more, always just shy of hitting the car window.
Su Chengyi observed the reflection for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it back any longer.
The noise woke her up.
Of course he couldn't do anything warm-hearted like using his hands to cushion her.
"arrive?"
Ye Ju was sleepy.
"not yet."
"Then why are you calling me?!"
Ye Ju stared.
Su Chengyi was silent for a while and found a reason.
"The president wants to see you for something."
Thirty-six Strategies - Divert the disaster to the east.
"What's the matter, President?"
Ye Ju turned his head doubtfully.
Deng Yizhou was stunned and began to think: Did I call her? Do I have anything to do with her? If she didn't shout, why would she ask?
Well, that must have been the shout.
He cleared his throat and said seriously:
"When I'm giving my opening statement, firstly, pay attention to the speed of speech, and secondly, pay attention to the time."
Ye Ju listened with a speechless face. From last night to this morning, she had heard this sentence at least twenty times.
Su Chengyi sat upright in the front row, secretly laughing.
Fortunately, we reached our destination before even saying a few words.
Su Chengyi opened the car door and jumped out of the car. The unfamiliar teaching building was already the territory of the University of Washington next door.
There are activity volunteers responsible for guiding the audience at the door, directing the audience to enter.
The scene was orderly, no one even spoke, it was very quiet.
This is a completely different style from my own school.
Soon, staff members came to pick them up and ushered the Beijing University debate team into the building through the side door.
"It's not time to face the entrance yet, please wait here for a moment."
It was Deng Yizhou's business to negotiate with the staff, while the newcomers stood aside doing nothing.
Su Chengyi took out Miss Chu's love coffee from his pocket, raised his head and took a sip.
Ye Ju looked through the crack in the backstage door and then came back.
"Don't tell me yet, the place looks very formal."
"This is how BGI is, just get used to it."
Deng Yizhou didn't know when he had finished talking, so he crossed his arms and said.
"President, where is the person opposite?"
"You should be waiting here too."
Deng Yizhou was also a little strange. He stretched his neck and looked around, and successfully found the target.
"Here, look over there."
Su Chengyi heard the sound and followed his guidance and looked over.
As expected, there were also a group of people in suits and ties like them, talking to the staff just now.
The other side quickly noticed their concentrated gaze, so they all looked back.
After a brief pause, Su Chengyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
That handsome boy wearing a light blue striped suit, who is it if he isn't Zou Lian?
It's really cool to meet someone you know at a time like this.
What a coincidence.
It's just that the other person didn't seem to be in such a good mood as he was. He couldn't smile at all, and his fair face was slightly green.
The air around them seemed to freeze as the two looked at each other from a distance.
Thank you book friend Power for the reward, and thank you all for your subscription and voting support!
