YM778.TV Chapter 174 Miss Sunshine {four}
Day two,
Yesterday, nothing special happened in An Xiulan’s opinion. Since she was busy practising, she didn’t get the chance to check the official page of Miss Sunshine. They were not allowed to bring their phones with them out of their hotel rooms and when she went back to her room, she replied to the messages of her family and went to sleep.
Today, the organisers had arranged a friendly sports time for the girl. It was just to help them relax and forget about the stressful day ahead. After the game, a breakfast buffet was arranged and after that, they were given some time to rest and at noon, they would be appearing for their first official photo shoot.
The pictures would be posted on official accounts and websites.
The girls were playing table tennis and some were playing badminton while she was sitting alone because she didn’t know how to play any of them.
“Come join us, ” Ji Mao’er said with a smile. When she saw that one contestant was sitting alone, she graciously offered her help..
Jiang Yao and Twinkle who were playing badminton snorted. Even if Ji Mao’er had heard their snort, she chose to not pay attention to them.
“I want to but I can’t, ” An Xiulan replied.
“Oh, are you on periods?” Ji Mao’er said in a rather loud voice. At this age, the girls easily get embarrassed when talking about periods. She just wanted to see An Xiulan flustered. To say such a thing on a live stream, “I didn’t know. Do you need any help? I can offer you.”
An Xiulan looked at her and shook her head. “I’m not. I just don’t know how to play tennis or badminton. I’m just terrible at it.”
Another girl with the name, Qiao Xi said, “Are you perhaps one of those girls who frown upon girls playing sports? Are you afraid of getting athletic legs?”
“I’m not looking down on anyone, ” An Xiulan said but the girls including the member of the organising team had a look of dissatisfaction on their faces. They weren’t happy with her as they believed that she was just playing that she wasn’t like other girls to get sympathy. Her dance had set the internet on fire. The fans of other girls were accusing her of playing sick games to get their attention.
The Live stream was on. The netizens were seeing this little scene on their screens.
@Ihateauthors—[ This AX is only insulting my Angel to get attention. Did she get less attention last night when we spammed her on Weibo?]
@User101—[Is she looking down at other girls who play games?]
@ThisYoungMaster—[She clearly admitted that she doesn’t know how to play badminton or tennis. Is it the end of the world?! It’s @MissSunshineofficial fault for not organizing other games! Stop blaming my glitter queen all the damn time. Even if she breathes, you all come with swords!]
On An Xiulan’s side.
“I have been the player in my high school’s athlete team, ” An Xiulan said, looking at them. “I know how to run or how to play football. I never learned how to play tennis or badminton.”
“So, you are into masculine sport, ” Qiao Xi said with a forced smile. She pinpointed it because the contest asked for the most feminine contestants.
“I didn’t know that sports have gender too, “An Xiulan commented. “At our school, we are taught that games and sports have no gender. We girls can play football, hockey and all the so-called masculine games at our school. It’s just that I didn’t learn tennis and badminton so I couldn’t join you. But had you chosen another game, I would have participated in it.”
This sentence offended and impressed many fans on the internet. A separate debate started about the genderfication of sports in the country and World.
The fans didn’t know if it was a coincidence or what, the national women’s football team who was participating in the Asia league won the cup.
Ah, the fire it ignited on the internet…
A few minutes later, Jingyuan High School’s official Weibo account shared a video of the girl athlete team competing against the boys athlete team in a school’s friendly match. It was the same video that had helped An Xiulan win the campus Belle contest.
It impressed everyone how the girl ran so fast that she won against the boy from the opposite team and even kicked a football in the end.
This video wouldn’t have gotten this many views and likes if @ThisYoungMaster wasn’t irked by the blind followers of the Ji Mao’er who were bad-mouthing his Glitter Queen. He shared the link of the Jingyuan High School’s video attached with the quote saying there is no gender in the sports.
@MrsChina who had been quiet since this morning and hadn’t commented until now couldn’t help but comment —-[She is not just cute but powerful too. Look at the kick, she scored a goal. She also won many interschool races. No wonder she said she is an athlete. We need more diversely talented contestants each year. The world is changing and the pageants need to be changed too.]
This comment was liked and shared by many people.
At the Lu family house….
Lu Zhaolin, who was supposed to be at the office, was sitting in the living room, his eyes settled on the laptop screen.
“Look at our Xiulan, she says all the right things, ” Lu Zhaolin proudly announced as he slapped his thigh.
Lu Xun, who was sitting on his father’s thigh, made a ba ba ba ba voice as if he was agreeing with his father.
“Learn something from your Jiejie, ” Lu Zhaolin said as he gave a dirty look to his younger son. “Although she is not good in studies, she is so good in other things.”
“Uncle, are you saying studies are not as important as other things?” Lily ended up asking. She looked so innocent at this moment that nobody could ten she was up to no good.
Old Madam Lu ignored everyone. She had vowed to never speak in matters of An Qinyan’s daughter. If the mother had no care for her daughter’s future, who was she to say anything?
