“Xiao Rou, so you’re here!” Li Li struggled out of the crowd. “I thought that the eldest daughter of the Tao family was you.”
Tan Rou looked at Tao Yue in the crowd and smiled.
“Aren’t 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?”
“It’s the same family.” Tan Rou said, “She was originally the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital.”
“Then now that you’re back. Aren’t you the eldest daughter of the Tao family?” Li Li continued.
“It doesn’t matter.” Tan Rou pulled Li Li and quickly left the scene. “Let’s go in quickly. Otherwise, people will block the road and we won’t be able to enter.”
Lu Qing had been following Li Li. He thought that it was Tan Rou as well and almost shouted her name,
Tao Yue didn’t 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 Ron’s name was called, he deliberately called her up. “This 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. I’m guessing that she’s definitely one of the top ten in the country this time.”
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 didn’t 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 Ron’s lead, Tan Ron’s team was ranked first on the leaderboard. The boy who was led by her and Li Li answered a question because he really couldn’t get the chance to answer. However, he didn’t have many questions to answer.
“Tan Rou, thank you so much.” The bespectacled boy said excitedly, “I’ll treat you to a meal after the competition.”
“We’re a team, there’s no need to talk about this.” Tan Rou said lightly. “As for dinner, don’t worry about it. I’m having dinner with my classmates tonight.” The boy with glasses asked, “How many are there from your school?”
Li Li said, “There are three of us. There’s two of us and a boy in another team.”
The bespectacled boy nodded slightly. “I’m the only one who came to our school. If I didn’t meet you guys, 1 probably wouldn’t have the courage to continue the competition.”
Although they would be competitors in the future, Tan Rou still encouraged him, “Since you’re here, you should compete well. Your school has placed all their hopes on you. How can you give up so easily?”
The bespectacled boy seemed to be encouraged. He patted his face and said, “Okay, I’ll continue to work hard in the next competition. Don’t be defeated by me!”
Tan Rou smiled. “Alright, let’s do it together!”
After the boy left, Li Li looked at Tan Rou with admiration. “Rourou, you’re my goddess indeed!!!”
“What strange lines did you come up with this time?” Tan Rou asked with a smile.
“No, no.” Li Li waved his hand. “I really think you’re the best. This afternoon’s competition is an individual competition, and you actually encouraged your opponent. That’s too noble of you!”
Tan Rou said, “With more opponents, you will feel a higher sense of accomplishment when you win.”
As she spoke, Tao Yue walked over. Tan Rou saw her coming over and wanted to pull Li away.
“Let’s go eat.” 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, “Is everything alright?”
Tao Yue gave a perfect smile and extended her right hand. “Nice to meet you. My name is Tao Yue..”
