As they passed by the area around Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School, they even gave it a provocative look.
"Suzhou Middle School, Li Wan'er!"
Chen Mingrui, Wuxi Foreign Language Affiliated High School
...
"Zhao Zichen, Jiangcheng No.1 High School!"
Zhao Zichen suddenly raised his head and froze in his seat.
"Old Zhao, what are you standing there for? Go up there."
Lin Que nudged him with his elbow.
Zhao Zichen then seemed to wake from a dream, and abruptly stood up.
Because the movement was too large
My knee hit the back of the seat in front of me, and I winced in pain.
But he didn't care about any of that and stumbled towards the stage.
Shen Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
First prize! This is the best result Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School has achieved in nearly ten years!
Liu Yi's expression turned somewhat grim; only one of his students had won a third prize.
The audience erupted in applause.
Eight first-prize winners stood on the stage, holding their certificates.
Zhao Zichen stood at the very edge, his back straighter than anyone else's.
He looked at Lin Que below the stage, his eyes filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for the conversation on the balcony that night, he might still be carving in that ivory tower.
After the awards ceremony, the eight people stepped down from the stage.
At this point, Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School had already won one first prize and one third prize.
This result is considered an exceptional performance in previous competitions.
Shen Qingqiu's face was radiant, and her posture was much straighter.
Liu Yi, watching from the side, felt a little envious and said sourly:
"Congratulations, Teacher Shen, on winning two awards."
But... that genius player, was he really eliminated this time?
Shen Qingqiu's smile froze for a moment.
Indeed, all the awards had been read out, but Lin Que's name was still not mentioned.
According to common sense,
The remaining unannounced award is one of the hundreds of outstanding awards.
Shen Qingqiu's face was somewhat pale.
Looking at Lin Que beside her, who remained calm, she felt a mix of emotions.
Could it really be...?
"Lin Que".
Shen Qingqiu spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse.
"It's okay. One competition doesn't mean anything."
Your teacher knows your talent; it doesn't need awards to prove it.
She was genuinely comforting him, and also comforting herself.
Lin Que turned his head and looked into Shen Qingqiu's eyes, which were full of concern and regret, and felt a slight warmth in his heart.
This teacher is someone I can get along with.
"Teacher, please don't worry."
Lin Que blinked.
"It's not over yet, is it?"
After saying that, she took her school uniform and continued to cover herself up.
"It's not over yet?"
Liu Yi sneered from the side.
"We've already given out all the first prizes, why would we wait to give you a zero prize?"
Just then, the background music on stage suddenly stopped.
The host did not read the list aloud as before.
Instead, he adopted a solemn expression.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as is customary, the awards ceremony should now conclude here."
Liu Yi heard the host's voice and his smile widened.
"It's alright, we'll fight again next year. I'll take the kids back now, and then we'll..."
Before he could even say "See you at the assembly," he was interrupted by the host's voice.
"But this year,"
Following a unanimous decision by the marking team and the expert review panel, we have added a special award.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
A special award? What's that?
This has never happened before.
The host paused briefly.
"This special award does not belong to the first, second, or third prizes."
"It caused great controversy among the marking team."
Some people gave it a zero score, believing it to be unorthodox.
Some people gave it a perfect score, believing it struck a chord with the soul.
The crowd began to stir.
Zero points and full marks? What kind of operation is this?
Liu Yi's smile froze on his face, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Shen Qingqiu suddenly raised her head and stared intently at the stage.
The host continued:
"For this essay, the Provincial Writers Association specially consulted with Mr. Jian Shen, a specially invited judge of this competition."
Professor Jian Shen only gave one comment; please look at the screen!
At the host's gesture, the entire audience turned to look at the big screen.
The scrolling promotional video suddenly went black.
As everyone was stunned, the giant screen lit up again.
There is no background or background music.
There was only one line of wild cursive script, each character as black as ink, its power penetrating the paper.
The gods do not relieve the suffering of sentient beings, yet evil spirits roam the earth.
The moment this line of text appeared,
Inside the venue, the noisy discussions eerily fell silent.
The silence lasted for about three seconds.
The host took a deep breath, and his impassioned voice resonated throughout the venue:
"The organizing committee unanimously decided to award this work..."
—The only Special Prize winner in the inaugural "Relief from Worries Cup"!
Its author is—
"Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, Lin Que!"
