Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 599 - 601: Luckily Not in Her Group

"The craftsmanship doesn’t seem like what you’d find in the stores." Coming from a well-off family where her mother was in the jewelry business, Fei Jiayi could tell that the craftsmanship of the jade Buddha was different.

"Mutton-fat jade, Pei Yicheng really didn’t spare any effort."

Fei Jiayi leaned in closely to take a good look and immediately noticed that this was not ordinary jade.

Just as she wanted to take a closer look, Xu Nianhua stuffed the jade into her clothing and said while rubbing her eyes, "Let’s not focus on this jade anymore. Isn’t the quiz competition starting at nine o’clock this morning?"

"Right!" Fei Jiayi instantly switched her focus and began studying the words seriously with her notebook in hand.

The second round of the quiz contest, also known as the vocabulary contest, saw who could remember the most words or phrases.

Xu Nianhua stood at the contestant’s seat, feeling a bit like it was an unfair advantage.

She used to work professionally as a translator. Initially, to make money, she dabbled in various areas before finally specializing in children’s English education.

In terms of vocabulary, Xu Nianhua had an absolute advantage.

During the public quiz, Xu Nianhua on stage was the brightest star.

Pei Yining’s camera never stopped clicking, each time Xu Nianhua answered a question, she was calm, confident, and dazzling.

"Thank goodness I wasn’t put in Nianhua’s group, otherwise I’d be dead."

Fei Jiayi patted her chest with palpable relief, considering the immense pressure she’d feel if she were in the same group as Nianhua.

"Exactly, does Nianhua ever not know a word?" Ding Guo looked up at Xu Nianhua on stage, filled with admiration. She was dressed in a white shirt and a red skirt, with her long black hair elegantly done up, looking noble and graceful.

"I guess..." Chang Hui started to say none, but felt it wasn’t completely likely.

Xu Nianhua was already quite famous in the foreign language department, and now, her excellent performance further confirmed her reputation as a talented woman.

Below the stage, many students from non-foreign language majors specifically came to watch the competition, just to see what Pei Yicheng’s girlfriend really looked like, and what exactly distinguished her in Pei Yicheng’s eyes.

They hadn’t realized it until they saw, but after a glance, everyone silently exchanged looks. Given Xu Nianhua’s poised and composed performance, if they were men, they’d be charmed too.

"Nianhua, how do you manage it?"

That evening, in the dormitory, Fei Jiayi and her dorm mates, having made it through several rounds, were now among the top thirty finalists, and their prepared speeches were about to come in handy.

"Remember more, read more, recite more," Xu Nianhua said succinctly. "To master English, there are no shortcuts. You guys can look over your speeches more today. If you can deliver them without notes tomorrow and make the script come alive a bit more, you will definitely score high."

"How can I remember such a long script?" Ding Guo’s face fell. She would have been satisfied to say it while looking at the script, pronouncing everything correctly without any errors.

"Difficult."

Fei Jiayi glanced silently at the several pages in her hands, feeling like a mountain was pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.

Liao Jinling and Chang Hui, along with Zhou Wanwan who had been quiet, didn’t speak, but the message was clear—it was too hard to deliver a lively and interesting presentation off-script.

Xu Nianhua pondered for a while and then spoke a string of English.

At first, Fei Jiayi and the others were puzzled, not knowing what Xu Nianhua was saying, but after listening for a while, they realized that Xu Nianhua seemed to be reciting her speech. While they didn’t understand some of the words, they mostly got the gist of it.
