Chapter 230 The interview begins
In Principal Ning's office, Principal Ning tilted his head slightly and said softly to Ming Nanjin, "Master Ming, Master Jiang, you two are familiar with the rules of our school. The next interview needs to be completed by Chengcheng alone."
In this matter, Principal Ning seemed like a different person, and his entire aura changed drastically.
Her face, which was originally as gentle as the spring breeze, now had a bit of unquestionable seriousness. The serious look made Jiang Shiwen, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but take a breath.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he had never seen Principal Ning like this before. Only Ming Nanjin remained calm, his eyes fixed on Xiao Chengcheng, as if they were the only two left in the world.
Ming Nanjin felt as if his heart was being eaten by millions of ants, and was extremely worried about Xiao Chengcheng's condition. He kept thinking in his mind, what should he do if Xiao Chengcheng had any unexpected situation during the interview?
His hands unconsciously clenched slightly, his knuckles turned slightly white, and his eyes were full of concern and tension. He looked so nervous, as if he was about to face a life-and-death battle.
Jiang Shiwen seemed to sense Ming Nanjin's nervousness. He moved gently, stood beside Ming Nanjin, and touched Ming Nanjin lightly without leaving a trace.
Ming Nanjin finally came back to his senses from his thoughts. His eyes were a little dazed, and after a moment they focused on the little Chengcheng in front of him. He called softly, "Chengcheng, come here."
As soon as Ming Nanjin squatted down, Xiao Chengcheng flew into Ming Nanjin's arms like a happy little bird. Principal Ning saw this scene and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gratified smile. Ming Nanjin was a child she had watched grow up. She usually ignored everyone and was like an iceberg, making it difficult for people to approach her.
I didn't expect that he had such a gentle side. If Principal Ning hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, he would have doubted whether Ming Nanjin was a person without feelings.
Xiao Chengcheng had just heard that she had to go in for the interview. She knew that going in by herself would mean being separated from her brother, and she suddenly felt a surge of fear in her heart.
But at this moment, the little bear in her arms whispered to her that her brother had also been interviewed in this way and was very brave. When Xiao Chengcheng heard what the little bear said, she immediately gained courage in her heart. She secretly made up her mind that if her brother had done it, she would do it too!
When Ming Nanjin hugged her, Xiao Chengcheng knew what her brother wanted to say.
She just rubbed Ming Nanjin's chest muscles, then raised her head, looked at her brother, and said word by word: "Ge Ge, I, I can, want... want to, go by myself."
Xiao Chengcheng spoke every word with a firm tone. Although he didn't speak very fluently, he still finished the sentence.
When Ming Nanjin heard Xiao Chengcheng's words, he showed a look of disbelief. He didn't expect that Xiao Chengcheng knew what he wanted to say before he even opened his mouth.
However, his expression soon became doting and he gently placed a kiss on Xiao Chengcheng's forehead.
"Well, come on, brother believes in you, I'll be waiting for you here, don't be afraid."
Ming Nanjin's words were like warm sunshine, shining on Xiao Chengcheng's heart and giving her great strength. As long as she knew that her brother was always by her side, Xiao Chengcheng would not be afraid.
Principal Ning took Xiao Chengcheng into a room alone, and Ming Nanjin and Jiang Shiwen could only wait anxiously outside.
In the solemn and elegant principal's office of Benel College, Xiao Chengcheng stood uncomfortably in front of Principal Ning's huge desk.
Principal Ning sat upright with a serious expression, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty, which made the atmosphere in the whole room seem particularly tense.
"Little Chengcheng, let's start the interview." Principal Ning's voice was steady and powerful, breaking the silence in the room.
Xiao Chengcheng nodded timidly, her little hands clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white from excessive nervousness.
Principal Ning took out a stack of literacy cards and began testing Xiao Chengcheng's literacy ability.
"How do you pronounce this word?" Principal Ning asked, pointing to the word "Shang" on the card.
Xiao Chengcheng stared at the card, her lips trembling slightly, wanting to speak, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound. Her face turned red and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Principal Ning frowned slightly and pulled out another card with the word "next" written on it.
Xiao Chengcheng stared at the card closely, and opened her mouth again and again, but could only utter some unclear syllables. She became more and more anxious, and tears began to accumulate in her eyes.
At this time, outside the principal's office, Ming Nanjin and Jiang Shiwen were waiting anxiously. Ming Nanjin put his hands in his pockets, with a cold face. Only when he thought of Xiao Chengcheng did his eyes reveal a hint of tenderness. His hands were full of tattoos, which were particularly eye-catching in the sun.
Jiang Shiwen was a calm person, but he couldn't hide his panic at the moment. Looking at Ming Nanjin's expression, Jiang Shiwen asked if he wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Ming Nanjin didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
The two walked out of the principal's office and came to the corridor. Jiang Shiyu and Yan Zeyu were no longer in the corridor. Jiang Shiwen was not in the mood to care about Jiang Shiyu and Yan Zeyu now. He just followed Ming Nanjin to the windowsill of the corridor.
The two stood on the windowsill of the corridor. Jiang Shiwen took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to Ming Nanjin.
"Don't worry too much, Chengcheng will behave well." Jiang Shiwen said.
Ming Nanjin took the cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and the smoke rings he exhaled slowly dissipated in the air.
"I hope so." His voice was low and cold.
In the office, Principal Ning's expression became more serious. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't be nervous, kid. Let's try writing in a different way."
She handed Xiao Chengcheng a sharp pencil and a piece of white paper. "Write the word '口'."
Xiao Chengcheng took the pen and, with trembling hands, carefully wrote the character "口" on the paper. Although the strokes were a little crooked, the general shape was correct.
Principal Ning's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said, "Then write the word '目'."
Xiao Chengcheng took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then carefully wrote the word "目". This time, she wrote it more smoothly than before.
As the test progressed, Xiao Chengcheng seemed to find her way around it, and her writing became more and more standardized. "田", "木", "禾", "火"... Chinese characters appeared one by one under her pen.
