Jiang Zhan was dozing off, propping his head up on the table. When he saw Shen Jingmo holding a cup of coffee, his eyes lit up: "Ex-brother-in-law, you gave me coffee. I need to cheer up. The next beauty contest is the one I'm most looking forward to."
Shen Jinmo glared at the boy: "Didn't you realize this coffee has already been drunk?"
"Did you drink this yourself? Don't you often buy things for my sister? Why didn't you bring her a cup this time?"
"How do you know I didn't send it to her?" Shen Jinmo raised an eyebrow, holding the cup of coffee, looking at the lip print on the rim, then picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Jiang Zhan had already skillfully opened the food delivery app, ready to place an order, and even asked Luo Wuyan next to him if she wanted some.
Luo Wuyan was about to come over and select the menu.
Shen Jiarui came in panting, carrying a bunch of coffee and afternoon tea snacks, and put the things on the table.
"Brother, Wu Yan, Jiang Zhan, I brought you afternoon tea."
Look at the brand logo on the belt; this is a very hard-to-buy brand, and there's usually a long queue.
Judging from his sweaty appearance, he must have gone to queue up himself.
Luo Wuyan continued looking at Jiang Zhan's takeout order.
Jiang Zhan had lost all interest in ordering takeout; by the time it arrived, the competition would already be starting.
"Thanks, Jia Rui." Jiang Zhan picked out a caramel latte and a small cake.
Shen Jiarui slowly placed a cappuccino and a piece of red velvet cake in front of Luo Wuyan's table. "Eat up, it's your favorite flavor."
Luo Wuyan didn't even glance at it and continued ordering her takeout.
She would rather die of thirst and hunger than be pleased by someone.
Jiang Zhan sensed an awkward atmosphere and, biting into his cake, said, "So, Brother Jia Rui, you bought this specifically for Sister Wu Yan, and we just happened to get some from her?"
Shen Jiarui was ruthlessly exposed by the straightforward Jiang Zhan, scratched his head, and looked at Luo Wuyan.
He came specifically to apologize, and he was very sincere.
Ke Luo Wuyan wasn't buying it at all.
"Shen Jiarui, I, Luo Wuyan, don't like picking up other people's trash. Why should I, Shen Shuyuan's lapdog, take over?"
Luo Wuyan's words were sharp and sarcastic.
Shen Jiarui was so badly injured that he was almost completely covered in wounds.
Shen Jiarui stood frozen in place, the once aloof second young master of the Shen family looking like a wilted eggplant, instantly losing all his vitality.
Shen Jinmo raised his leg from under the table and kicked the brat with his leather shoe.
He gestured to him with his eyes to go back.
It's one thing for the Shen family to have someone who chases after his wife to the point of losing all face, but why is Shen Jiarui also joining in the fun?
If word gets out, people will think that the Shen family has a long tradition of not caring about face.
Shen Jiarui understood what Shen Jinmo meant.
It's just about getting rid of him.
But if he leaves, Luo Wuyan will probably never look at him again.
"Can I sit here with you?" Shen Jiarui asked Jiang Zhan with a pitiful expression.
He hoped Jiang Zhan would give up his position to him, and he wanted to have a calm and serious talk with Luo Wuyan.
Jiang Zhan hadn't even swallowed the cake in his mouth when he was startled by his request: "You can't sit here."
"Why can't I sit? You ate the food I bought, so you're obligated to give me a seat." Shen Jiarui started acting unreasonably.
Jiang Zhan shrugged: "This is the judges' panel. You're neither an invited judge nor the league champion, so what qualifications do you have to sit here and take my place?"
One sentence left Shen Jiarui speechless.
Shen Jiarui glanced at Luo Wuyan: "Fine, I'll stand to the side."
What are you doing standing on the side?
"You can't be a bodyguard!" Shen Jiarui roared in exasperation.
“You’re so tall and strong, you’d be blocking the way if you were a bodyguard.” Jiang Zhan stabbed him in the heart again.
Shen Jiarui was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to sit or stand, and could only leave dejectedly.
Watching his departing figure, Luo Wuyan chuckled and gave Jiang Zhan a thumbs up: "No wonder he's Lu Zhiwei's younger brother, excellent!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Wuyan."
After a short halftime break.
The competition has entered its final round.
If Lu Zhiwei wins the final match, she will have defeated her opponent by a large margin of three to one.
However, the third game was met with much controversy. Some people said that Lu Zhiwei did not give her all and deliberately lost to save face for the mute man.
Her sculpting skills are completely mismatched with her painting skills.
Lu Zhiwei insisted that she was less skilled than others, but only she knew the truth.
The globally renowned portrait contest is the most watched competition.
The match started at 3 PM, and viewership ratings on major platforms peaked.
The drawing competition takes a long time.
The match time was temporarily changed to three hours, ending at 6 PM.
The rules of the competition are that each side selects one volunteer from among those who volunteer to be the face-swapping model, and performs the face swap.
The volunteers' original faces will be photographed and displayed on the large screen.
After three hours of makeup sessions, let's see whose transformation is the most striking.
Many volunteers came to sign up, and Lu Zhiwei chose a woman who was slender, had delicate features, and resembled Shen Shuyuan.
She led the woman to the center of the stage and announced to the audience and judges, "This is my model."
The fish, lacking oxygen, selected a young girl from among many volunteers.
There are only two highest levels of artistry in painting.
One is the age difference.
Another type is gender contrast.
Lu Zhiwei and the oxygen-deprived fish each chose one of them.
Lu Zhiwei chose the latter, while the fish lacking oxygen chose the former.
The art of makeup should not be influenced by outsiders or opponents.
