Chapter 65: Chapter 065: Because It’s Worth It

"Really? I didn’t know." Bao Chu hurriedly took out his phone to check, then found out that no one from Huishi High School had ever made it to the top three in the finals, the best achievement being seventh place.

Despite not qualifying for the semifinals, Bao Chu was still in a good mood and couldn’t help but say to Sheng Tang, "If you win first place, you’ll be the school’s star forever!"

Sheng Tang: "..."

If possible, she also hoped to win first place, that way she could get fifty thousand yuan.

Sheng Tang really wanted to take her brother out for a trip because last time her brother mentioned Le Si Theme Park, he seemed very eager to go.

Le Si Theme Park is a place similar to Disneyland from Sheng Tang’s old world, with various cartoon characters.

For some reason, their family had never been there, always delayed by this and that.

Of course, her brother never mentioned it in front of their parents, he only secretly told Sheng Tang.

Gu Shiting also knew about Sheng Tang’s participation in the competition.

He sent her a message: "Do you want me to come and watch you in person?"

Sheng Tang replied: "No need, I’ll let you know the result later."

Gu Shiting felt very uncomfortable, he stared at the phone for a while, feeling somewhat bitter inside. He secretly hoped Sheng Tang would ask him to come, even if it meant squeezing into the crowd and risking getting sick, he would do it.

Because it’s worth it.

He hesitated for a long time before sending Sheng Tang another message: "If you make it to the finals, I’ll come to cheer you on."

"Alright." Sheng Tang replied instantly.

Gu Shiting looked at his phone, his eyes filled with tiny, radiant sparks, so dazzling and scorching. He quietly stared at the word "Alright", the more he looked, the more enchanting the word seemed.

It was as if he could see Sheng Tang’s face.

Just a little bit of sweetness from Sheng Tang, and his heart was filled with infinite warmth.

The last weekend of October, the semifinals of the citywide English competition began.

The competition was held at the Grand Theater in the city.

The Grand Theater has ten floors and different auditoriums, collectively accommodating over ten thousand spectators. Each school had forty tickets. The class teacher was very attentive and gave Sheng Tang an extra ticket.

Sheng Tang asked her parents, since there was only one ticket, it wasn’t convenient for anyone in the family to go, so she directly gave it to her classmate Bao Chu.

"The competition will be streamed live online, divided into ten different venues. I’m in the fifth venue, you can search for it directly at that time." Sheng Tang said.

Her parents agreed.

Bao Chu became her cheerleader.

The semifinals went smoothly, Sheng Tang’s spoken English was extremely fluent, her expressions were very elegant, and her answers and thematic speech were outstanding.

A total of fifty people made it to the finals, Sheng Tang was among them.

The finals will be held on the first weekend of November, still at the Grand Theater, but in the main auditorium.

"Our school had eleven participants, only three made it to the finals. I heard the ratio is quite high, the teachers are quite happy." Bao Chu said.

When Sheng Tang went to school, her classmates who heard she made it to the finals congratulated her on the surface, but there were also those who slandered her behind her back, and more who were jealous of her.

Class teacher Teacher Chen found Mr. Bai to inquire about Sheng Tang’s situation: "What do you think about her chances in the finals?"

"Pretty good."

"But, during the semifinals, her thematic speech was off-topic, almost getting eliminated!" The class teacher said, "Is the finals also a thematic speech?"

"It’s not yet confirmed."

"Will she win an award?" The class teacher was very concerned about this issue.

Winning an award is relevant to her "performance".

After the semifinals ended yesterday, an English teacher who went to the venue told the class teacher that Sheng Tang’s performance wasn’t ideal. Making it to the finals, it was likely Mr. Bai gave her high scores, and her spoken English was indeed very fluent.
