Chapter 127: First Place
After more than ten days, Zhong Nianyao returned to campus again without any sense of discomfort. She strolled around the campus with a hint of nonchalantness on her face.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of Murphy’s Law, but the more you don’t want to see someone, the more likely you are to meet them.
Zhong Nianyao saw Li Jingming and Shen Yixue walking towards her from afar.
It is true that enemies often meet on a narrow road.
Seeing these two people, she didn't intend to say hello. Their relationship was not that good, and the last time they met was very unpleasant. She even recovered a lot of losses from Shen Yixue. So, she thought that if the other party saw her, they would probably pretend not to see her.
Unexpectedly, Li Jingyang and Shen Yixue were so tactless that they actually came forward to say hello.
"Nian Yao, long time no see," Shen Yixue said with a smile on her face, looking no different from usual. "I heard that you took such a long vacation just to travel! Where did you go?"
It was as if the two of them were still good friends like before. As if the unpleasantness between them had never happened before.
Zhong Nian Yao didn't want to deal with such hypocrisy. She nodded without answering and planned to walk around the two of them and leave.
Don't hit a smiling person. Although she doesn't want to pay attention to Li Jingyang and Shen Yixue, she won't say bad things to them.
However, unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, Li Jingyang took Shen Yixue's hand and stopped in front of Zhong Nianyao again, with a very proud look on his face, "Zhong Nianyao, you probably don't know yet! Xiaoxue's painting won the first place in this national calligraphy and painting competition. Even the school attaches great importance to this matter."
Zhong Nianyao, who was originally very dissatisfied with Li Jingyang and Shen Yixue's behavior of blocking the way, frowned after hearing such words, "Shen Yixue got the first place?"
"That's right."
Li Jingming's expression was filled with pride, as if he were the one who won first place. "The results of the competition have already been announced. Xiaoxue's 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' received unanimous praise from the judges. Her painting will soon be sent back to the school for exhibition. Even the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association will come to see Xiaoxue in person!"
"In fact, this is just the judges giving too much praise."
Although she said this, a smile slowly appeared on Shen Yixue’s face, “I was actually surprised to get first place.”
This period of time must have been her most glorious. Ever since the results of the calligraphy and painting competition came out, she had become the center of attention at the academy. Even the professors at the art academy were fond of her, some even thinking that she was wasting her talent by not studying art.
Not only that, but the people around her also looked at her with new eyes because of her achievements and became much kinder to her. On weekdays, although no one gave her any trouble, she could see that in the eyes of those rich kids, there was contempt for her.
However, ever since she won first place, the contempt in those people's eyes disappeared.
Moreover, most importantly, she even had dinner with Li Jingming's biological mother. Li Jingming's mother treated her very well, especially when she knew that the president of the calligraphy and painting association was planning to take her as an apprentice, her attitude became even more kind and gentle.
It can be said that this is the most glorious moment in her life.
“A painting of vast rivers and mountains?” An unknown light flashed in Zhong Nianyao’s eyes. She looked at Shen Yixue with a smile, “I didn’t expect that you could also paint such a magnificent painting!”
If she remembered correctly, the painting she submitted was the painting of vast rivers and mountains! Moreover, her painting didn't seem to cause any waves at all.
The most important thing is that after she finished the painting, she had already marked it. As long as someone touched her painting, she would know. And before, someone had touched her painting.
"Zhong Nianyao, what do you mean?" Li Jingming's face suddenly darkened. "Why can't Xiaoxue paint such a magnificent painting?"
"You yourself don't have such ability, yet you still want to belittle others here. Can't you afford to lose?"
Compared with Li Jingming's excitement, Shen Yixue's reaction as the person involved was much more abnormal. Her face was a little pale, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was stiff for a moment.
Zhong Nianyao saw all of this and smiled faintly, "Why are you so nervous? The person involved hasn't even said anything, and you're jumping out to make a name for yourself?"
“Xiaoxue doesn’t want to argue with you.” Li Jingming directly took Shen Yixue’s hand and announced, “Besides, Xiaoxue is my girlfriend now, and I have the obligation to protect her!”
Looking at the two people's clasped hands, Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged. She simply said lightly, "Oh, really? Congratulations then."
That look of complete indifference stunned the two people opposite him.
Shen Yixue smiled, her face flushed a little, and she said shyly, "It's just what happened recently. Nian Yao, I hope you can bless us."
She just didn't believe that Zhong Nianyao really didn't care at all. Before, everyone saw Zhong Nianyao's feelings for Li Jingming.
Now that she saw that she and Li Jingming were together, Zhong Nianyao must be feeling uncomfortable, but she just didn't show it.
"Oh, really?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said directly, "Then I wish you all the best. I hope you get married soon, and have a happy marriage and stay together forever."
To use the terms she had seen on the Internet before, the two of them should be locked in place and not go out to harm others.
After saying that, Zhong Nian Yao walked around the two of them and left.
This time, Li Jingming and Shen Yixue did not catch up.
However, I could still hear Li Jingming's deliberately raised voice from behind.
"Xiaoxue, my mom asked you to come to my house for dinner today. She hasn't seen you in a long time and she's been missing you!"
As if to make it possible for others to hear clearly, Shen Yixue responded in a loud voice, “Okay, that’s right, I miss my aunt too.”
"My mom loves you more than me now. I'm almost jealous."
"Jingming, what nonsense are you talking about! Auntie likes me because of you! We..."
Zhong Nianyao had already walked far away and could no longer hear the conversation between the two.
However, she didn't care. Instead, she thought that Li Jingming and Shen Yixue were too childish.
Don't you think this will stimulate her?
