Chapter 139 Embarrassment
Xue Zhi looked at the girl who came up to greet him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"President Xue, this is Shen Yixue." The school leader smiled and introduced, "She won first place in this calligraphy and painting competition. She is an excellent student in school. She is particularly outstanding in painting. That's why she was specially recruited by our college."
Shen Yixue looked at President Xue and smiled very obediently, "Leader, you are joking. Actually, I just like painting. I was also very surprised to win the first place in the calligraphy and painting competition this time."
Xue Zhi looked at Shen Yixue in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he still nodded and praised, “You are indeed very talented in painting.”
He had originally assumed that anyone capable of painting such a magnificent and majestic work must be a unique, carefree individual, unfettered by any constraints. Unexpectedly, the artist was actually a seemingly well-behaved young lady. Could it be that appearances alone are not to be judged?
Shen Yixue did not notice the change in Xue Zhi's mood. She was very excited because of the compliment. At the same time, her heart was also much calmer.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, yet also filled with anticipation. As long as today passed, everything would change. She would become the disciple of the president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Furthermore, she would be able to get engaged to Li Jingming.
That’s right, Li Jingming’s mother has already agreed that as long as she can become President Xue’s disciple, she will find a way to persuade the Li family to let her get engaged to Li Jingming.
She was very confident in Chen Sisi's methods. As a mistress, she was able to make her son the legitimate eldest son of the Li family. Her methods were obvious. Therefore, as long as Chen Sisi agreed, her marriage to Li Jingming would be a done deal.
President Xue is here, so today's topic naturally has to begin.
On the stage, the school leaders were speaking excitedly. The main point was that they were very happy that President Xue came today, and were happy for Shen Yixue's achievements.
Zhong Nian Yao sat there, watching with great interest, as if she was watching a good show.
Zhao Xuanlang, who was standing by, almost fell asleep while listening to the leader's passionate speech. If Zhong Nianyao hadn't been there, he would have run away long ago.
After the school leaders finished speaking, President Xue also came on stage. After saying a few polite words, he directly asked Shen Yixue to come on stage to accept his award. By the way, he also ordered someone to display the original work of Shen Yixue in front of everyone.
When Shen Yixue heard President Xue on the stage call her name, she was completely excited. She tried hard to control her inner excitement, took a deep breath, stood up, and then walked towards the stage step by step. She had a smile on her face all the time, which was different from her usual gentle smile. At this moment, her smile seemed a little ostentatious, and there was a hint of determination.
Finally, Shen Yixue stood on the stage, looking at the people below, and seeing the encouraging look Li Jingming cast at her, she could hardly contain her excitement.
Xue Zhi handed the certificate representing the honor of first place to Shen Yixue, and then said with encouragement, "Keep up the good work in the future. I am looking forward to you showing your talent in the art world."
Shen Yixue took the certificate of honor handed over by President Xue, and then waited for the other party's next words.
She knew exactly what she wanted. Winning first place in the calligraphy and painting competition was certainly something to be happy about. However, becoming President Xue's disciple was the most important thing to her.
However, what no one expected was that after President Xue handed the certificate to Shen Yixue, he stopped talking.
For a moment, everyone in the auditorium couldn't help but start whispering.
The smile on Shen Yixue's face on the stage gradually became stiff, and even the arc of her mouth collapsed a lot.
"Um, President Xue?" The school leader beside him couldn't help but speak, "You... do you have anything else to say?"
The news that President Xue was about to accept Shen Yixue as his disciple had already spread throughout the academy. However, it seemed that things had changed.
"What else?" A hint of doubt flashed in President Xue's eyes. "I came here today just to meet the owner of the painting and personally hand over the honor that belongs to her."
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later!
When he saw the painting, he had indeed considered taking the disciple in. However, after seeing the real person, he had to admit that he was somewhat disappointed. So, he felt that he still needed to reconsider.
Fortunately, he did not express his idea of taking in a disciple at the beginning.
For a moment, the school leaders were stunned.
As the person involved, Shen Yixue felt embarrassed.
At this moment, even with the certificate of honor in her hand, she couldn't feel better.
She really wanted to know what President Xue was thinking, but she didn't dare to ask. She was afraid that the result would embarrass her even more.
"President Xue, aren't you going to accept Shen Yixue as your disciple? Why don't you announce such a happy event together?"
A voice rang out, and the entire auditorium suddenly fell silent. Those who were whispering immediately quieted down.
They didn't expect that someone would ask the questions in their hearts so directly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhong Nianyao with her right hand resting on the armrest of the chair, supporting her cheek with a playful smile on her face.
Thinking of the love-hate relationship between Zhong Nianyao, Shen Yixue, and Li Jingming, everyone's eyes lit up and the curious expressions on their faces became more intense.
"When did I ever say something like that?"
President Xue naturally saw Zhong Nianyao as well. He frowned and asked, "Student, why do you ask that?"
The smile on Shen Yixue's face, which had been cheerful just a moment ago, had completely disappeared, replaced by a pale face. Her face seemed to have lost all its color, and she looked shaky.
Now she hated Zhong Nianyao for speaking. Why did she ask this question? Wasn't it obvious that it would embarrass her?
If there was a crack on the ground, she would really want to crawl into it immediately so that she wouldn't have to face the current situation.
