Chapter 60 Wonderful
The idiom "loyalty and unswerving" comes from a book.

The title of the book is "The Second Handshake".

Tang Xueli shook hands twice, which was the first way of expression she could think of.

At that time, she didn't expect Yan Shou to really understand, it was just an attempt.

This abstract idiom is not easy to express with body movements.

But Yan Shouzhen guessed it right away.

The moment Tang Xueli heard the words "unswervingly loyal" coming out of Yan Shouzhen's mouth, she felt an indescribable tremor.

Yan Shouzhen smiled proudly at her.

Tang Xueli's expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of smile on her eyebrows and corners of her mouth.

The referee flipped through the book to select an idiom, and the driver wrote quickly on the blackboard, with no pause in the game.

Tang Xueli's eyes were fixed on the blackboard.

She instinctively gestured with her left hand and then with her right hand.

The audience in the audience immediately began to guess in their hearts.

Is it whole-hearted or one-five-ten?
Is it exactly the same, or has it changed over time?
There are too many similar idioms and they need further clarification.

Tang Xueli is also ready to use the next gesture to explain the meaning or origin of the idiom.

But Yan Shouzhen has already told the answer: for a lifetime.

Regardless of being surprised, the third question has already been written out.

Tang Xueli raced against time to make gestures, and Yan Shou guessed the answer very smoothly.

Yan Shouzhen guessed 1 idioms correctly in 14 minute.

He failed to guess "Monster" and lost 15 seconds. Otherwise, his score would have been even better.

The people in No. [-] Middle School immediately became nervous.

I thought that winning the first place was a sure win, but I didn't expect that my opponent would be so powerful, like two dark horses appearing out of the blue.

The two players exchange positions and go directly to the second half.

Tang Xueli only needs to guess 10 idioms correctly, and she will win in one hit.

She could guess 12 correctly when paired with Tang Limei before, but now it's Yan Shouzhen, so that shouldn't be a big problem, right?

However, there are always surprises.

Tang Xueli's palms were sweating a lot. She knew Tang Limei, but she thought she didn't know Yan Shouzhen very well.

The tight-paced game left no time for worry and overthinking. With the sound of chalk rubbing against the blackboard, Yan Shou really started to move.

The left hand made a gesture above the head, and the right hand was playing.

Tang Xueli: "Playing the piano to an ox."

Moderator: "Correct."

Yan Shouzhen made a mouth shape of "Aow", then wrote "王" on his forehead, while chewing heavily on his mouth.

It's easy to understand.

Tang Xueli said: "Gobble it up."

After two questions, she understood his presentation style.

Be detailed, in place, not in a hurry, and try to show the meaning of every word to reduce the difficulty of guessing.

Although this method will not be particularly fast, the answer will come out almost at a constant speed.

With six seconds left, they had guessed nine idioms correctly.

The overall score was just the same as that of No. [-] Middle School.

Whether you can win or not depends on these last six seconds.

Yan Shouzhen's expression was relaxed. He looked at the blackboard, patted his chest to express himself, then smiled, and then patted his chest twice more.

Tang Xueli knew that the four movements must mean four words.

Time flew by second by second.

Three—two—one!

"Yanxiao Yanyan." Tang Xueli said at the last second.

Before the host could announce that the answer was correct, the audience was boiling.

The champion has emerged.

In the second half, Yan Shouzhen's gestures were neither urgent nor slow, and Tang Xueli's guessing was not too fast either.They guessed an idiom correctly almost every six seconds, and they answered 1 idioms correctly within one minute.

The first and second half combined for 24 points, which was exactly 1 point more than the six.

win by a narrow margin.

But exciting enough.

There was thunderous applause, and the teachers and students of No. [-] Middle School were a little disappointed, but they still gave warm applause to Tang Xueli and Yan Shouzhen for their outstanding performance.

Tang Xueli and Yan Shouzhen high-fived each other in celebration, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"You are so calm." Tang Xueli smiled.

"Are you nervous?" Yan Shouzhen felt the sweat on her palms when they high-fived.

"Well, I'm very nervous." Tang Xueli didn't deny it, and she didn't know why she was so nervous.

In fact, she didn't really want to win this game.

Why is that?

she does not know.

"You can't tell." Yan Shouzhen said, "You look like you have a chance to win."

"That's because I disguised myself well." Tang Xueli paused and looked up at him: "It also shows that you don't understand me."

"Don't you understand?" Yan Shouzhen smiled: "According to the theory you mentioned before, I should know you very well. Otherwise, how could I have guessed so many idioms correctly in the first half?"

Tang Xueli was speechless for a moment and said, "You have falsified it, and now my theory is not valid."

Yan Shou was really happy, "At least we have a tacit understanding."

Tang Xueli was not sure if there was a tacit understanding, but... "At least they are all smart."

Yan Shouzhen stretched out his hand: "Thank you for your smart brain."

"..." Tang Xueli glanced at his hand and shook his hand reluctantly.

The knowledge competition ended perfectly. No. 1 School unexpectedly won No. 1, and it was also the first time to win No. [-].

The rewards are two pens, two ceramic cups with the No. 1 logo of the quiz, and nine notebooks.

The pen and cup were given to Yan Shouzhen and Tang Xueli.

Tan Chengcheng, Huang Xiu and Tang Limei, who participated in the competition, each received three notebooks.

The prizes are not very valuable, but they are very meaningful.

Yan Shouzhen invited four students to a restaurant to have a meal of steamed dumplings.

Tang Limei was extremely excited. Tan Chengcheng had lied to his parents to sneak out. Huang Xiuchong had just caught a cold and felt happy about recovering from a serious illness.

Tang Xueli didn't want to come at first, but was lured in by the physics competition question that Yan Shouzhen promised.

The atmosphere at the table was very good. Yan Shouzhen was indeed knowledgeable and talented. He talked about everything in heaven and earth in a very interesting way.

The final exam is in a week, but the class teacher didn't mention it at all.

I didn’t wish them good luck in their exams or anything like that.

It was like a simple gathering of old friends, with no harsh instructions, no unpleasant prying eyes, and no slogan-like cheering and encouragement.

Finally, we left happily before dark.

Tang Xueli asked him: "Didn't you say you wanted to give me a set of physics competition questions?"

Yan Shouzhen said matter-of-factly: "I lied to you, otherwise you wouldn't come to dinner."

Tang Xueli: "...As a teacher, it's not good for you to deceive students like this."

Yan Shouzhen nodded, "It's not good."

Tang Xueli was speechless.

Several other people were in a hurry to go home.

Yan Shouzhen saw that Tang Xueli hadn't left yet, so he asked, "Are the xiaolongbao delicious?"

Tang Xueli: "It's delicious."

The filling of the xiaolongbao is prepared by the second sister, how can it not be delicious?
"If it's delicious, it's not free." Yan Shouzhen glanced at the plaque of Limin Restaurant and asked her in a nagging way: "What is your favorite food?"

"I don't have a favorite." Tang Xueli asked him casually: "What is your favorite food?"

Yan Shouzhen: "All kinds of steamed buns, Xiaolongbao is my favorite."

 I’ve been traveling far away recently, so I’ll update this for now~
