Chapter 286 Everyone is waiting for Christmas
The debating club’s treatment is considered to be the best among school clubs. Both the application for the activity classroom and the grant of activity points are very generous.
Probably because when the debate team participates in various competitions, the words "Jingcheng University" are clearly displayed in front of them, which directly represents the face of the school.
Among these, the law school debate team is even more different.
Compared with philosophical debates, legal debates pay more attention to practical logic and rationality.
There are two reasons why Su Chengyi has never applied to withdraw from the debate team.
First, compared to other debates in the law school that focus on emotion and appeal, it is more suitable for his personality to talk about facts, present evidence, and use logic.
Secondly, he has not participated in the group activities of the Lianghui Debate Club since the beginning of school.
But Deng Yizhou gave him all the activity points, not a single point was missing.
No matter what, he still feels a little bit sorry in his heart. He doesn't like people who owe others favors.
So this time, according to Deng Yizhou, is both a historic confrontation with an old enemy and a battle to wash away humiliation. Its importance is self-evident.
No matter what, his absence this time will make him look very unreliable.
Su Chengyi thought like this, then followed Deng Yizhou and opened the door and walked into the classroom.
The atmosphere is really solemn as the enemy is facing us.
Not a word was written on the blackboard, and everyone sat quietly at the table.
Some people have their eyes fixed on the computer screen, searching for relevant information on various web pages.
Some people lowered their eyebrows and scribbled drafts of their speeches on the notebooks in their hands.
There are people.
Well, they are lying on the table eating instant noodles.
No wonder I keep smelling the fragrance.
Su Chengyi looked at Miss Ye, whose style was completely different from everyone else's, and couldn't help but be silent for a long time.
Deng Yizhou coughed and clapped his hands.
The attention of everyone who was still busy with their own affairs was finally attracted. After stopping briefly on the president, they all gathered on the "rare guest" behind him.
Su Chengyi was a little embarrassed.
Yes, he has been absent too many times. Maybe many people in the club don't know him at all.
"Everyone will stop what they are doing and let me say a few words."
Deng Yizhou walked up to the podium and raised his hand to signal Su Chengyi to come up too.
Su Chengyi quickly shook his head, took two steps back and stood aside.
Deng Yizhou did not force himself when he saw this. He just nodded and said to himself:
“The purpose of this intensive discussion today is very clear and simple.
< br>
For the debate competition with BGI tomorrow. "
"There are some differences between this time and the past, and I believe everyone is aware of it.
Participants are limited to freshmen and sophomore students.
We veterans can only act as the logistics department this time. "
After he said this, the people below were not surprised. They should have known the news before, so they just nodded.
Su Chengyi raised her eyes and observed, Ye Ju was still sucking at the steaming bowl of instant noodles in front of her.
To be honest, it looks very fragrant and delicious.
Instant noodles are like this. They taste like chewing gum when you eat them, but they taste like delicacies when you watch others eat them.
Su Chengyi felt that she was almost hungry, so she had to look away.
“Our candidates for the competition have also been decided. They were decided by votes of people who are not qualified to participate. It is very fair.
For those of you who didn’t get a chance to play this time, don’t be discouraged or mentally unbalanced. There will be a chance next time.
I emphasize again, this is a team battle.
When we win, we all feel proud and proud, but when we lose, we all leave the field with our tails between our legs in dejection.
So. ”
Deng Yizhou knocked on the lectern with great momentum.
"Cheer up! From now on, show off your momentum in the debate! Say it with me - come on!"
Except for being in a bit of trouble, Su Chengyi and Mouth have no time. Except for Ye Ju who spoke, everyone else shouted impassionedly:
"Come on!"
"We must win!"
"We must win!!!"
After the pre-match speech ceremony was over, we finally got down to business.
Su Chengyi looked at the empty blackboard and thought that since he came so late, he was probably the only person in the room who didn't know what the debate topic was.
It was not an option to continue like this. Wouldn't it delay things? So he had to take the initiative to ask:
"Excuse me, may I ask what the topic of this debate is."
“Ah, that’s right. I haven’t had time to tell you yet.”
Deng Yizhou looked up from his busy schedule. He was busy checking the tasks assigned to each member before leaving, such as searching for information and writing an opening statement.
He strode onto the stage and wrote the topic of this discussion "唰唰唰" on the blackboard.
His handwriting looks a bit like his own, Su Cheng thought.
It’s just that the sloppiness is even better. If he had written like this when he was a child, his grandfather would have taught him a lesson with a ruler.
With such an oppressive and heavy atmosphere, the vigorous handwriting of dragons and phoenixes, and the much-anticipated top 2 classic showdown, Su Chengyi couldn't help but wonder what the debate topic would be.
It should be a philosophical topic like "Is it the fate of the speaker to be misunderstood?" or an enduring and eternal topic like "Is delayed justice really justice?" or "Total loss of memory." Should the new life in the future be responsible for the crimes committed before?" This is a profound and interesting topic.
However, what appeared on the blackboard was:
"Should/Should children be told that there is no Santa Claus in the world?"
"."
Su Chengyi felt that she was completely silenced.
Deng Yizhou put down the chalk and turned around. After meeting Su Chengyi's eyes, he couldn't help coughing and explained sarcastically:
"The questions for this competition were randomly selected. I just picked this one casually." Stuff.
It’s pretty good. Look, it’s Christmas soon. It’s very Christmassy. ”
Okay. ”
It’s done. Su Chengyi nodded in acceptance.
"What I drew is shouldn't."
Deng Yizhou changed a piece of red chalk and circled the word "shouldn't" on the topic.
Very good.
This is a more satisfactory answer for Su Chengyi.
He originally thought it would be difficult for him to force himself to discuss the issue of "whether an old man with a white beard flying in the air on a sled really exists" in front of a group of judges and the audience. .
What is the difference between this and discussing "Is there Ultraman in the world?"
But at this moment he suddenly thought of the Finnish Santa Claus he saw in Mohe.
And his phrase "Winterlovestory".
Well, this doesn’t seem to be such a boring debate.
After facing the topic again and becoming interested, Su Chengyi returned to his seat.
Ye Ju next to him had finally finished his noodles and was sipping hot soup.
She caught a glimpse of Su Chengyi walking over from the corner of her eye. She only freed up a little finger in her left hand holding the noodle bowl and bent it slightly a few times, as if to say hello.
Su Chengyi suddenly had the urge to make an international friendly gesture, but he resisted.
Such uncivilized and impolite behavior will be severely criticized and educated if squad leader Chu discovers it.
“Didn’t you eat tonight?”
"Yeah."
Ye Ju put down the bowl, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth carefully before replying.
"I have a part-time job, and right after I got off work, I was called over by the president with a series of life-threatening calls."
She closed the lid and took out two boxes of serial calls from her pocket like magic. Yogurt together.
Aware of Su Chengyi's eyes, she opened the box with a snap and handed one over.
"Here, here you go."
"No need."
Su Chengyi shook his head.
"Drink it. I work part-time in a bakery and I still have these two boxes of yogurt."
She rummaged through the box and found the place where the production date and shelf life were printed. It was serious. Thought to:
"It will expire in one hour and twenty minutes. So the store manager asked me to take it away."
After Ye Ju explained the origin of the yogurt, he opened the lid and ate it with a spoon. stand up.
Su Chengyi looked at Ye Ju and then at the box of yogurt in front of him.
Strawberry and mulberry flavor.
He was silent for a moment, then opened it and took a spoonful.
Even though it's a last-minute meal, it tastes the same as what you usually buy. It's no wonder that many people stick to these discounted last-minute foods, which are much cheaper and more cost-effective than usual.
But Su Chengyi obviously does not have such economic acumen.
"Come here after you two have finished eating."
Deng Yizhou said with a complicated expression.
These two newcomers, for whom he had high hopes, and who shouldered the honor of the Peking University Debate Club, were engrossed in eating yogurt that was about to expire.
I really hate that iron cannot become steel!
Su Chengyi finished the last bite and put the spoon back into the cup.
He was very careful when he tore it open, and now it looks as intact as a cup of unopened yogurt. Ye Ju ate very seriously, using a spoon to scrape clean the yogurt stuck to the wall of the cup.
Su Chengyi saw this and wanted to review his wasteful behavior for a moment.
His gaze was very direct, not evasive at all.
Ye Ju choked when he was stared at, and said with a glare:
"Hey, hey, what are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman eating yogurt?"
" No."
Su Chengyi shook his head.
Ye Ju threw the spoon back into the bowl angrily and muttered to himself:
"Ye Ju, Ye Ju, calm down!
Man They are all savage beasts, and they are unreasonable disasters"
"? "
Su Chengyi felt that there must be a huge question mark on his face at this time.
"Nothing!"
Ye Ju quickly closed her mouth as if she suddenly realized that her thoughts would be heard.
She stuffed the lid, which was still covered with a layer of yogurt, into the cup and put it away along with Su Chengyi's cup.
Su Chengyi looked at the lid of the cup and suddenly thought of the famous joke "Finally living a life of eating yogurt without licking the lid".
You shouldn’t be so frugal. Is it to maintain your image?
He couldn't help but raise his eyes and take a look.
Ye Ju finally had enough to eat and drink, stretched out, and happened to meet Su Chengyi's eyes.
Seeing that she was about to get angry again, Su Chengyi quickly changed the topic casually.
“Are you also selected to participate in the debate competition?”
Ye Ju said “hmm” and stood up slowly.
"I don't know what they think~ Hey, I don't know how to quarrel at all."
Su Chengyi didn't even believe a single punctuation mark in what he said.
No matter how you look at it, Ye Ju is the kind of person who is very suitable for debate competitions. Her unconstrained ideas are absolutely so clever that her opponents are at a loss as to what to do.
Of course, it is also possible to shock your teammates.
The two of them cleaned up the trash and walked to the front row. They heard several resident debaters discussing passionately, so they did not interrupt and just listened quietly.
But they don't seem to have any intention of stopping anytime soon.
Su Chengyi leaned against the podium and waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but reached out and tapped the table gently.
Among the noisy human voices, this crisp sound stands out.
So everyone fell silent and looked at Su Chengyi.
“Everyone.”
Su Chengyi cleared his throat.
“I understand everyone’s feelings, but in tomorrow’s official game, we will be the ones to play.
You don’t want to see us just reciting the draft dryly on the court. Isn’t it the scene of being speechless when others ask questions? "
This kind of debate competition that only has a draft reading phase is very boring. After the positive side reads the negative side, the best part of the debate is the exchange of words. Not at all.
Everyone was stunned by his question, and then realized that they had unknowingly put themselves into the protagonist's position.
However, this time they are all supporting characters.
In unison, they all stood up and gave up their positions.
Su Chengyi was a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't mean it originally.
But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he had no choice but to step forward and sit down solemnly with a straight face.
People gathered around again.
"This is the relevant arguments I compiled and the reference materials that may be used."
"Look at this website, there is a lot of information you can refer to."
"I am responsible for sorting out the correct answers. Arguments that may be used. ”
What a professional support group.
Su Chengyi was a little overwhelmed, and the information he received was so thick that it could be smashed into a walnut.
Ye Ju also received the same treatment. The few words of resistance she made from time to time were quickly drowned out by the enthusiastic voices.
At this moment, the BGI next door is probably in the same situation, Su Cheng thought.
When I walked out of the classroom, it was already early morning.
The discussion lasted nearly six hours.
What’s even more terrifying is that Deng Yizhou’s demonic voice is still surrounding him in 3D in his mind.
"Have you solved the defense question? Have you thought about the question? Are these few examples enough?"
"You, a logic judge, want to laugh after hearing this, please clarify it yourself before talking!"
“There are still big problems with the draft of the first debate. Everything I have circled must be changed.”
“What are you hiding from in the fourth debate? Do you know what you are going to conclude?”
< br>“Students, have you ever seen school at two o’clock in the morning?”
It was absolutely terrifying.
Su Chengyi's steps were exhausted, and she felt that she had never said as much in her life as she did tonight.
Ye Ju ran away in a hurry as soon as he went out, not knowing what he was busy with.
Perhaps I was afraid that if I walked too slowly, I would be caught and memorized again.
There was no one else on the way, so Su Chengyi walked alone on the way back to the dormitory.
When passing by the study room, the brightly lit scene made him realize that although Peking University is famous for its free and undisciplined school spirit, in such an environment, there will never be fewer people who are silently involved.
I don’t know if it was because of his rebirth, but Su Chengyi had a profound feeling of “whoever wants to roll can roll if he can’t roll anymore”.
When my thoughts were complicated, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
You don’t need to look at it to know who will send the message at this point.
Su Chengyi turned on his phone, and the message on the notification bar was as he expected, showing "NS-Iris".
After returning from Mohe, as if he wanted to make up for everything he missed during the vacation, Chen Jinzhi's schedule was staggering.
After so many days, the two of them have not even had a real-time conversation.
Chatting is like jet lag, there is an hour or two between each message.
But neither of them cared about it.
Chen Jinzhi often didn’t even have time to type a word, so he just sent a photo.
Sometimes it’s in the practice room, sometimes it’s putting on makeup, sometimes it’s the sunrise or sunset on the plane.
Su Chengyi will reply to every message.
She sent photos of the practice room, and Su Chengyi sent notes taken in the classroom.
She posted her makeup for today’s stage, and Su Chengyi posted a selfie without her face.
As for the sunrise and sunset on the plane, Su Chengyi responded to the sunrise and sunset while walking on campus.
The two of them tacitly shared each other's days and nights even though they were thousands of miles apart.
What Chen Jinzhi sent today was the score of a new song.
Su Chengyi thought for a while and sent the topic on the blackboard that he just took.
I wonder if Chen Jinzhi will find it funny after seeing it.
“Should/shouldn’t children be told that there is no Santa Claus?”
When the discussion was concentrated on the blackboard just now, some people were carefully listing the pros and cons arguments and building mind maps at the same time.
The people on the other side, led by Ye Ju, worked together to paint a colorful Christmas tree next to it.
At this point, it seems that it is exactly what Deng Yizhou said, it really feels like Christmas.
Su Chengyi put the phone back in his pocket and exhaled a white breath. The temperature in the capital was getting lower and lower.
Yes, Christmas is coming soon.
As if responding to his thoughts, the next song that played randomly on the headphones was that Christmas hit that suited the occasion.
Every year before Christmas, this song will return to the top of the list.
Everyone jokingly calls it the female singer’s pension insurance.
“Idon'twantalotforChristmas,
I want nothing more for Christmas,
There is just one thingIneed,
There is just one thing I earnestly hope for,
Idon't care about the presentations,
I don't care about the presents,
Underneath the Christmas tree,
Gifts under the Christmas tree,
Ijustwantyouformyown,
I just want you by my side. ”
“AllIwantforChristmasisyou.”
All I want for Christmas is you.
