Gu An’an woke up to find herself in the underprivileged era of the 1970s, where food and warmth were scarce. Just as she arrived, she encountered a crucial moment when her young mother, an educat...
After those people disappeared, An An patted her numb legs. Before she could get up, Zhou Huamei pushed her. Zhou Huamei was nervous, "An An, are you okay?"
When the thugs came, the crowd was in chaos. She was squeezed to the outermost circle, while An An was at the innermost circle. There were too many people for the two of them.
After the thugs left, she had the opportunity to slowly squeeze in with the crowd.
An An shook her head, "I'm fine, how are you?"
Zhou Huamei said, "I'm fine too, but I don't know where Lu Youyou was squeezed to!" As soon as they finished speaking, the two looked around and suddenly heard the girl crying the loudest not far away. Obviously, Lu Youyou was scared. She squatted in the corner, holding her head with both hands, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Originally, the two were still a little scared, but when they saw Lu Youyou like this, they couldn't be scared anymore. It was completely funny.
It seems that compared with Lu Youyou, they are still pretty good.
After returning to the hotel, several people told their experience in the square in a few words. Teacher Lin and Teacher Ji were naturally scared. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, they would be too ashamed to return home. Whether they won the award was secondary. The key was that the students must be intact.
After this experience, Teacher Lin naturally had a stern face and told the five students, "Don't go out today. If you are hungry, let's go to the hotel restaurant for dinner. No matter what, as long as you are fine, it's fine!"
Because of An An's incident, Xu Shaoqi and Zhao Xiaoliang were also worried.
Originally, they planned to go out for a walk after sobering up, but now they naturally gave up the idea.
In the evening, Teacher Lin saw that the students who came together this time were very hardworking. She nodded involuntarily. It seemed that the previous incident was not all bad.
Maybe she was scared. The next day, Lu Youyou was the first to go up. The sequelae of yesterday were too strong, causing her to not play very well today.
After she came down, she was full of regrets, "If I hadn't gone out yesterday, my hands wouldn't be shaking today!" If she hadn't been shaking, she wouldn't have lost the game in the first game.
You know, today can directly determine the champion. She was the first to go on stage and lost the game. For her partners, the pressure in the future can be imagined.
The most important thing is that today is an important moment for the bet with Messi and others.
An An raised her hand to comfort him, "Don't blame you, no one expected such a thing to happen!" After a pause, she whispered, "It is said that there was also a student from Messi who went to the square to feed pigeons yesterday, but he was even more unlucky than us. When the crowd was parading, his leg was stepped on and broken. He can't participate in the competition today and can only receive treatment in the hospital!"
Although it is a bit unkind to say bad things behind someone's back when something happened, for An An, as long as she can comfort Lu Youyou and stabilize the hearts of Xu Shaoqi and others, she will do it even if she is a bad person.
Lu Youyou lost the game in the first game, and the pressure on Xu Shaoqi and others can be imagined.
She didn't want to shake the morale of the entire army because of a defeat, which would be too unwise.
When she said this, Lu Youyou's eyes lit up, "Really?"
An An nodded, "I heard someone next to me say that when I went to the restaurant to get milk this morning!" However, those people spoke English, and An An didn't take it seriously at the time, let alone gossip with everyone after returning. But this time is different. Morale is obviously low, so let's make the enemy's pain fun for them and boost morale!
The big stone in Lu Youyou's heart sank all of a sudden, and she patted her chest, "Then you can just treat me as the patient who can't come today!" In this way, there are still three people over there, but they still have four people. No matter how you look at it, they have a higher chance of winning.
An An nodded with a smile.
Teacher Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. It was obviously better for An An to say this than for her. After all, An An was a student and a candidate this time. It was normal for students to encourage each other. When she said this, she was worried that it would put pressure on these children.
After this incident, the second person to go up was Zhao Xiaoliang, who obviously performed better than yesterday and readily agreed to the other party. Then it was Xu Shaoqi, who always performed well, but was eliminated. Not only that, Zhou Huamei was also eliminated.
In the last round, only An An and Zhao Xiaoliang advanced to the next round. As for Messi, it was even worse. There were originally five contestants, one was hospitalized, and the remaining four were all wiped out.
No one could make it to the last round.
When Messi got the news, his face turned blue with anger and he stormed out on the spot.
However, Teacher Lin stopped Messi at the critical moment, "Mesai, do you still remember our bet?"
Messi paused, she turned around, "You...", she kept asking for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.
Teacher Lin understood, "Are you going to cheat?" There would be a half-hour break in the middle of the game, so all the contestants were resting nearby. When An An talked about the bet between Teacher Lin and Messi, she deliberately raised the tone of the words. There were quite a few people who heard it.
It seems to be human nature to watch the excitement, and foreigners are no exception. When Teacher Lin said this, some people who could understand it consciously translated it to the people around them.
For a moment, everyone looked at Mei Sai with some contempt. People with real strength really look down on Mei Sai. She had played tricks to break Teacher Lin's brush, which was how she won and got a place.
This matter was originally in the past, but now when I see the two people fighting again, I really sigh that good things will come back and retribution will come.
If Mei Sai had not done that thing, Teacher Lin and she would not have become mortal enemies.
Now, she doesn't have to kowtow to the Chinese players in front of everyone without losing the reputation.
Mei Sai was completely being roasted by the fire at this moment, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, but she just couldn't say a word to refute. She gritted her teeth and said, "Later... tonight I will personally go to apologize to you!"
Teacher Lin pressed on, "No, I want to fulfill the promise now!"
Mei Sai was humiliated, but she found it even more humiliating that her colleagues around her looked down on her. She knew that even if she shirked her duties today, everyone would look down on her from the bottom of their hearts, but...
after she weighed the pros and cons, she heard a "bang" and Mei Sai kowtowed three times at the fastest speed, and then left the competition venue.
The whole stadium was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After watching the show, An An smacked her lips, took a gulp of mineral water, and smiled, "Teacher Lin, have you let go of your resentment over the years?"
A complex expression flashed across Teacher Lin's face. She was not relaxed or happy, but just a puff of smoke. She raised her hand and tapped An An's forehead, "You little rascal!" However, if An An hadn't been so sly, she wouldn't have been able to trample the enemy she had hated for three years to the ground.
Now she finally understood why her master looked at other people's apprentices with envy.
Now, others also look at her apprentice with envy.
Sure enough!
The importance of a good apprentice.
An An and Teacher Lin smiled at each other, and then it was her and Zhao Xiaoliang's turn again. Teacher Lin knew that An An would be shortlisted, but it was really surprising that Zhao Xiaoliang would be shortlisted.
After all, according to their usual practice, Xu Shaoqi's talent is higher than Zhao Xiaoliang's, but Shaoqi's inner qualities are not as good as Zhao Xiaoliang's, so he performed poorly in the competition, otherwise he would not have been eliminated.
Xu Shaoqi looked at Zhao Xiaoliang with a sad face, "Brother, Dad is relying on you to win glory for me!"
Zhao Xiaoliang scratched his ears, "I don't have such an unfilial son like you!" The atmosphere was originally a little tense, but this interruption immediately relaxed a lot.
There were a total of ten people selected for the final round.
Their team accounted for two, which was already a very good ranking.
In the first game, the judges directly made a big mess and eliminated five people at once.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaoliang's luck only stopped at the last round. He was one of the five people who were eliminated. When he came down, he hung his head and said sadly, "Son, I told you to be stupid. Daddy didn't even last one round!"
Xu Shaoqi said, "I told you to pretend to be your daddy. You deserve it!" He was rude but stared at the stage without blinking.
Teacher Lin and his friends were no exception. They had five students this time, and now four were eliminated.
There are still five people left. As long as An An can hold on to one round and get the top three, not to mention the first, just one of the top three, their trip will not be in vain.
After returning to China, they can stand up straight.
An An was not feeling well at this moment. She originally thought that the judges would eliminate two of the five again. Who knew that during the temporary competition, the judges changed the rules again. This time, they would directly select the first, second and third place.
The remaining five people will compete together. They will score the works. The top three with the highest scores will be the champion, runner-up and third place this time.
When they heard this, the people at the scene were in a mess. You know, it was never like this in previous years. The rule change this year was too sudden.
However, no matter how chaotic it was below, the judges above still adopted this method. An An's palms were sweating. This opportunity had both good and bad aspects for them. The good thing was that they didn't have to worry about being screened out of the top three this time. The bad thing was that the competition among five people was actually more stressful than the competition among three people.
An An calmed down. Everyone else started to paint, but she was still hesitant. Not only the judges were surprised, but also the people below, especially Teacher Lin. They thought something had happened to An An. Teacher Lin even suspected that An An had also suffered the same injustice that she had suffered that year.
It was only after Teacher Lin went to the competition venue that she found out that her paintbrush had been broken.
For them, the paintbrush was a life-saving tool, and An An was not moving at this time. Teacher Lin was getting more and more panicked. Was it really fate? In
fact, there was nothing wrong with An An's paintbrush. She originally planned to design a dress with Chinese lotus flowers, but the rules were suddenly changed. With five people competing, it was clear that the lotus flowers were not enough for her to compete for the first place.
So, An An planned to change her entry on the spot.
As for what to draw, she hadn't decided yet. Time passed by bit by bit, and the contestants next to her had already finished one-third of their works.
An An then picked up the brush and slowly outlined a rough shape. What she designed was nothing else but the Chinese gods, the dragon and the phoenix. She wanted to design a dragon and a phoenix.
This was a brand new challenge for An An. At least in her previous learning process, she had never accepted such a complex pattern.
However, now she not only chose the dragon and the phoenix, she was more inclined to challenge her own strength.
There was another meaning, of course, that layer would have to wait until she won the championship.
Before she started designing, she had already thought about the difficulty of the dragon and phoenix, but when she actually started designing, she realized that the difficulty was far beyond her imagination. First, she had to incorporate the dragon and phoenix into this design, and second, she didn't have enough time.
Whether it was a dragon or a phoenix, it was a very complicated pattern. Normally, it might be difficult to do just one of them.
But now it was both!
The more she painted, the paler her face became, and the bigger the sweat on her head.
She even changed five brushes in a row. Whenever the brush tip was not delicate enough, she would change it again. Thanks to Teacher Lin who had suffered a loss from the brush, he prepared ten for her at once, otherwise it would not be enough for today.
When she was halfway through, contestants had already submitted their works. First one, then two. Not long after, another one submitted his work. There were
still three people on the field, who were also called seeded contestants for the championship. Of course, An An was not among the seeded contestants at the beginning. She was just a dark horse that emerged later.
About forty minutes later, another person submitted his design draft. Now, there were still two people on the field.
An An seemed to be unaware of the movement outside. She entered a very mysterious state, that is, putting all her mind on the tip of the brush. Her heart, spirit, and brush moved, as if she and the brush in her hand were completely integrated, without distinction. An An in this state also surprised the judges present.
They haven't encountered such a candidate in many years. The last time such a situation happened was thirty years ago. That person had already stood at the top of the design, but unfortunately he was closed.
Now, a stunning person has appeared in the competition again. How can they not be excited?
Even one judge couldn't help but get down from the stage, walked behind An An, and quietly looked at the candidate's sketch. This time, he opened his mouth in surprise, but didn't make a sound. The judge's appearance made the people below very curious.
What did this beautiful girl from the East draw?
Half an hour later, when the big clock rang not far away, An An stopped writing. However, before she could take the design draft in her hand, the judges behind her had already snatched the design draft away. The judges shouted, "Oh! Miracle!" How could there be such a vivid and amazing work?
The judge seemed to have forgotten the contestant An An. He trotted to the stage with the design draft and reluctantly handed it to the other judges. The reactions of the other judges were not much different.
It is said that there is a gap only when there is a comparison.
When the five works are put together, even a layman can know who is the first place.
For the first time, there was no fierce quarrel among the five judges. They voted unanimously and gave the highest score to the contestant from the East, Gu An An!
When An An heard the score, she was in a trance.
She did it. She subconsciously turned around and looked at Teacher Lin. Teacher Lin burst into tears at this time. She didn't expect it!
Unexpectedly, the Chinese people would be able to stand on the stage one day and tell the world that they could do it, that they were also fashion darlings, and that they could win international championships.
The previous design had already consumed all of An An's energy. After she finished drawing, she felt as if she was out of her mind. She was pushed up in a daze to receive the trophy. The judges first awarded the third place, then the runner-up, and finally the champion. When it was An An's turn to hold the championship trophy, the judge had been replaced by the host. The host handed the microphone to her and asked, "Beautiful oriental girl, can you tell us what is in this drawing?"
They had never seen such a vivid design, and even the host was curious.
An An smiled with a proud look on her face, "Those are the patron saints of China, the dragon and the phoenix, and I designed the dragon and phoenix auspicious design!"
The host nodded, "Can you tell us why you chose such a complicated design?"
"Because in our country, the dragon and the phoenix auspicious design represents auspiciousness and brings good luck to people!" An An's clean and fair face was full of longing, "I hope to win the championship, and I hope that this dragon and phoenix auspicious design can protect the people I love!"
Not only the host was surprised, but also the people in the audience were amazed.
Does this champion already have someone he loves at such a young age?
I don't know when it started, but a red light suddenly lit up in the middle of the stage below, and a man slowly walked out from the light. His left arm was still wrapped in a conspicuous gauze, and his right arm was indeed holding a large bouquet of roses. The man was tall and straight, walking against the light, as if he was a prince from a fairy tale, extremely noble.
However, this man had a stronger and more decisive look than the prince. This abrupt temperament was sandwiched in a very harmonious way. The people around him thought of what the champion had said before, and immediately there was a burst of exclamations.
This is a romantic country. Many people can see that this is obviously a sign of a proposal. The people around don't know who it is, but they cheered.
Then the man walked closer and closer, staring at the girl on the stage with burning eyes. Under the white light, An An's whole body was covered in the light. The girl was calm, outstanding, holy, noble, like an extremely proud queen.
At this time, An An stood on the stage. When she saw Lu Yan, all her calmness disappeared instantly.
Lu Yan was extremely satisfied. He knelt on the ground and handed over the rose in his right hand. His voice was deep and magnetic. "Gu An'an, will you marry me?"
The moment she saw the man in front of her, all the worries and fears in An'an's heart disappeared completely. Her Lu Yan was back. She set her eyes on Lu Yan's bandaged left arm, and then her heart suddenly shrank. Then she understood. The man she gave the medical kit to yesterday was Lu Yan!
It was such a coincidence, no wonder! No wonder the man's back was so familiar!
Maybe An'an was a little distracted and didn't answer Lu Yan for a long time, which made the atmosphere around her reach its peak again. "Marry him, marry him!"
In the wave of enthusiasm.
Lu Yan smiled and asked again, "Gu An'an, will you marry me?"
An'an's eyes were filled with tears and she whispered, "Yes!"
