Chapter 99 Lost to Liu Mengmeng
Jiang Shuyuan and other students from the Imperial College were not to be outdone and showed off their strengths. The atmosphere on the field became more and more intense, with cheers and cheers from the audience. The competition between Liu Mengmeng and Xiang Tiange became increasingly fierce, and their eyes were filled with determination and persistence.
However, in this fierce competition, Liu Mengmeng suddenly slipped and almost fell. She was shocked and thought to herself, "Oh no, this is bad!" But Liu Mengmeng did not give up. She gritted her teeth, stabilized her body, and continued to devote herself to the competition.
At the same time, Xiang Tiange also felt the pressure, and he knew that he could not give Liu Mengmeng any chance. So he increased his speed, trying to suppress Liu Mengmeng with his speed advantage. However, Liu Mengmeng kept up with Xiang Tiange's pace with his tenacious perseverance, and even surpassed him at some points.
As the competition entered the final stage, the gap between the two sides was almost the same. The audience's hearts were in their throats, and they cheered for the two players. Liu Mengmeng knew that this was her last chance and she couldn't miss it.
At this moment, Xiang Tiange suddenly accelerated, trying to overtake Liu Mengmeng at the last moment. However, Liu Mengmeng had already expected this, and she followed Xiang Tiange's speed closely, and even when he was about to overtake her, she suddenly accelerated and got ahead of Xiang Tiange.
Seeing the finish line in front of her, Liu Mengmeng felt a strong belief in her heart. She took a deep breath and concentrated all her strength on her toes. She knew that this might be her last time to lead and the best chance for her to win the game.
"Liu Mengmeng, come on!" At this moment, a burst of enthusiastic shouts suddenly broke out from the stands. Those were the voices of her friends, Jiang Zhiyu, Xiao Wen, Qi Zimo, Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, Liao Zhen, Xu Guokun, Hu Jiahong, Kang Yining, Deng Ziqiu and others. Their voices were full of encouragement and support, as if powerful forces were injected into Liu Mengmeng's body.
Liu Mengmeng's heart warmed up. She looked at her friends with gratitude, and then rushed forward with all her strength. Her figure shuttled quickly between the hundreds of ropes. Every jump seemed to leap across the sky, and every landing seemed to crush the earth. Her speed was getting faster and faster, even surpassing Xiang Tiange.
Xiang Tiange looked at Liu Mengmeng's back, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he gritted his teeth and tried his best to catch up.
Just when Xiang Tiange was about to catch up with Liu Mengmeng, Liu Mengmeng suddenly made an unexpected move. She swung the Hundred Ropes like a flying dragon, so fast that it was dazzling. This move instantly suppressed Xiang Tiange. He could no longer maintain his speed and could only watch Liu Mengmeng gradually distance herself from him.
The audience was stunned. They had never thought that Liu Mengmeng had such outstanding strength. Every move she made seemed to be carefully designed, elegant and powerful. They cheered for Liu Mengmeng's outstanding performance and were moved by her perseverance.
At the last moment of the competition, Liu Mengmeng finally surpassed Xiang Tiange and successfully jumped over the last hundred ropes. The audience was boiling, and they cheered for Liu Mengmeng's victory. Liu Mengmeng stood on the field, panting, but her eyes were full of joy and satisfaction.
However, Liu Mengmeng's speed had exceeded his limit, and he could only watch Liu Mengmeng gradually go away.
The whistle sounded at the end of the game, Liu Mengmeng landed steadily, then turned around and looked at Xiang Tiange proudly.
The audience stood up and applauded and cheered for Liu Mengmeng. Her friends excitedly rushed down the stands, surrounded Liu Mengmeng, and congratulated her.
"Liu Mengmeng, you are awesome!" Jiang Zhiyu said excitedly.
"Yes, you are really our pride!" Xiao Wen said excitedly.
When Jiang Shuyuan saw Xiang Tiange lost the game, a gloom suddenly covered her face. She bit her lips tightly, and her eyes showed disappointment and anger. She walked to Xiang Tiange and said coldly: "Xiang Tiange, why are you so useless? You actually lost to Liu Mengmeng!"
Xiang Tiange showed guilt on his face, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Shuyuan, I did lose, but please believe me, I didn't do it on purpose. Liu Mengmeng's speed was really beyond my expectations."
Liu Mengmeng stood aside, listening to this, her lips slightly raised, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Xiang Tiange, don't you always say that you have superb skills? Why did you lose so miserably today?"
Jiang Shuyuan's face became even gloomier when she heard this. She glared at Xiang Tiange, then turned to look at Liu Mengmeng and said coldly, "Liu Mengmeng, you won this game, but can you win people's hearts?"
Liu Mengmeng's smile froze. She looked at Jiang Shuyuan, then at Xiang Tiange, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She chuckled and said, "Miss Shuyuan, I just won this game, how dare I expect to win people's hearts?"
Xiang Tiange looked at Jiang Shuyuan, his heart full of guilt. He took a deep breath and said, "Miss Shuyuan, I did lose, but I will definitely work harder and let you see my progress."
Jiang Shuyuan didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly. That look made Xiang Tiange's heart tremble. He knew that he had to make changes, otherwise he would lose Jiang Shuyuan's trust.
In the next few days, Xiang Tiange practiced hard, he wanted to prove his worth through his own efforts. And Jiang Shuyuan was observing him, she wanted to see if Xiang Tiange could really change.
However, just when Xiang Tiange was about to make a breakthrough, an unexpected piece of news came, causing his mood to instantly plummet to the bottom.
"Xiang Tiange, did you hear that? Liu Mengmeng is going to hold a poetry conference."
This news shocked Xiang Tiange. He looked at Jiang Shuyuan with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Miss Shuyuan, is this true?"
Jiang Shuyuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is what Liu Mengmeng said herself."
Xiang Tiange was silent. He looked at Jiang Shuyuan, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was his best chance to prove himself, but he also knew that poetry was not his strong point, and he might lose even more miserably.
However, at this moment, Jiang Shuyuan's words made him make up his mind.
"Xiang Tiange, I know you have doubts in your heart, but I hope you can give it a try. Even if you lose miserably, I will always be by your side and support you."
Hearing this, Xiang Tiange felt a warm current in his heart. He knew that he could not hesitate any longer. He took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Shuyuan, and said, "Miss Shuyuan, I understand. I am willing to try."
In the following days, Xiang Tiange began to practice poetry arduously. He worked hard to recite poems every day and tried to understand the artistic conception of poems every day. Jiang Shuyuan always accompanied him, giving him encouragement and support.
Finally, the day of the poetry competition arrived, and Xiang Tiange walked onto the stage with a nervous and expectant heart. He looked at Jiang Shuyuan in the audience and secretly vowed in his heart that he must win this competition.
