Chapter 122 - White Lotus Deity
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The word ‘Bet’came out.
Like a heavy stone, it smashed into Teacher Lu’s heart.
His entire body swayed twice, and with an extremely ugly expression, he sat on the chair behind him.
On the other hand, Teacher Zhu’s eyes were filled with joy. She even deliberately raised her eyebrows and looked at Teacher Lu provocatively.
“Sigh, why does Teacher Lu have such an ugly expression? Don’t tell me you’re regretting it?”
“What a pity. If we were to spread the word that we are teachers, it would be like spitting on a pit. It’s useless even if we regret it!”
At the end of the sentence, Teacher Zhu’s face was filled with pride.
I’m definitely going to win today.
As soon as this day was over, her teacher would see the other party coming to apologize.
If she knows that this matter was caused by me…
She would definitely place more importance on her in her heart!
Was she afraid that she would not introduce her network to her?
Besides, she had won back a spot to participate in the foreign exchange exhibition!
Win-win!
As long as she thought about her work and ability, she would be able to rise to a higher level.
Teacher Zhu could not wait for this competition to end immediately!
Occasionally, she would look down at Qin Yiyi on the screen and feel that her actions of slowly holding a brush, matching colors, and so on did not seem to be too eye-catching anymore.
The slower the better!
On the other hand, Teacher Lu was sitting in his seat with a sullen face. Occasionally, he would glance at Qin Yiyi’s side.
He was secretly anxious, but there was nothing he could do!
In fact, as long as he stood slightly, Teacher Zhu and a few others would look at him with a faint smile.
It was as if they were afraid that he would use some method to remind Qin Yiyi about this bet.
In the end, Teacher Lu, who was secretly angry, simply sat on the chair and looked at the contestants without moving.
There were also people who were on good terms with him who advised him softly from the side.
“You can leave early later, or you can find a middleman to talk to Teacher Zhu. If you give in, this matter will be over.”
After a pause, the other party deliberately reminded him.
“I think what she wants the most is that exchange slot. Just let her be.”
Sighing lightly, the other party glanced at Teacher Zhu, who was full of pride and smiles, and shook his head.
“Who asked her faction to be so proud recently?”
The president of the calligraphy and Painting Association was about to step down.
And the new president’s biggest voice was originally Teacher Lu’s teacher, but unfortunately…
After a few rounds of commotion, he didn’t expect to benefit Teacher Zhu’s faction.
His heart was filled with regret and pain.
The person behind Teacher Zhu had always been a petty person. She would always be calculative when there was a flaw.
In the future, the calligraphy and painting world would be even more chaotic.
He looked at Teacher Lu, whose expression was extremely ugly, and sighed.
In his heart, he was even thinking, ‘Should I find a university to teach for a few years?’
It could be considered a stable life.
Just as he was thinking, Teacher Lu beside him suddenly shouted excitedly.
“She started drawing. She started drawing…”
The teacher who was talking to him was surnamed Yang.
After hearing his words, he raised his head and looked at Qin Yiyi’s screen. He nodded and shook his head.
“There’s still an hour before the competition ends. She has no choice but to start drawing.”
She couldn’t hand in a blank paper, right?
Thus, it wasn’t a big deal to start drawing at this moment.
However…
He suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up as he whispered into Teacher Lu’s ear,
“I remember the bet you made just now. It seems like you will win if this lass scores more than 50 points?”
If that was the case, then perhaps there were some areas that could be relaxed, and it might not necessarily mean that he would lose.
However, if Teacher Lu lost today, at most, he would be humiliated.
But if he won…
It was likely that in the future, the enmity between him and teacher Zhu’s faction would become deeper and deeper, and it would be difficult to resolve.
However, Teacher Yang turned around and smiled bitterly.
It was impossible to win, even if there wasn’t a bet this time.
The enmity between the two sides was also impossible to resolve.
Teacher Lu had already softly interrupted his thoughts.
“I won’t take advantage of her. If this girl passes with sixty points, then I will win.”
Teacher Yang eyebrows knitted together, and he glared at Lu Laoshi with some resentment.
“You, you…” What kind of situation was this, and he still thought of being a gentleman and doing the right thing!
However, wasn’t this the reason why he allowed himself to fall into the other party’s trap?
“This isn’t what I said. It’s what you said yourself. Don’t cry when you lose.”
Zhu Laoshi heard the conversation between the two of them and chuckled.
It was weird.
Teacher Lu ignored her and sat there calmly.
Only his tensed body betrayed his current mood!
Qin Yiyi didn’t know that her just trying to slack off actually caused several teachers to bet on her.
Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.
She was always too lazy to ask about things that had nothing to do with her.
She raised the brush and drew according to her previous idea, stroke by stroke.
If one was careful, they would notice that although Qin Yiyi’s drawing was very slow, she was very steady.
Moreover, her speed almost stayed the same during the entire process.
In other words, she did not pause in the middle, and she would not stop to ponder or observe like the other contestants.
In fact, she did not even correct it.
None of these were there.
She did it all in one go.
If it was another time, with Teacher Lu’s eyesight and experience, it would be very easy to notice the difference.
But now, he had just fought with Teacher Zhu.
Although he forced himself to calm down and tried his best to look at the contestants in front of him professionally, his mood was definitely affected.
So…
He had missed out on Qin Yiyi’s extraordinary steadiness!
As for Teacher Zhu..
She had completely ignored Qin Yiyi, full of pride and high spirits.
What, she could win?
She didn’t even move her brush half the time.
She could pass?
Did she really think that this was a place for children to play house?!
Don’t joke around.
Time passed by little by little.
As the final time was up, the staff members went up to collect the students’ paintings.
Teacher Lu took one last look at Qin Yiyi.
On the screen, the girl stood up and glanced at him, seemingly unintentionally.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were cold.
This made Teacher Lu’s heart skip a beat.
The little girl saw him?!
That’s impossible.
Impossible.
He shook his head, collected his thoughts, and looked again.
On the other side of the video, Qin Yiyi had already disappeared.
Thinking of the face he had seen through the screen, Teacher Lu couldn’t help but smile.
The little girl’s face was really pretty.
“Teacher Lu, why? Do you want to wait here for a little longer and give yourself a little more time to understand the truth?”
The one who spoke was a male teacher beside Teacher Zhu.
He had a good relationship with Teacher Zhu.
At this moment, seeing teacher Lu standing there without moving for a long time, he couldn’t help but chuckle a couple of times and then become sarcastic.
“Sigh, if it were up to me, Teacher Lu, you might as well just admit defeat.”
“Don’t worry. Seeing that we’ve worked together in the past, I’ll help you and Teacher Zhu plead for mercy.”
When the other party said this, his voice was full of laughter.
“As long as you’re willing to apologize to Teacher Zhu and give up the exchange slot, I definitely won’t let Teacher Zhu pursue this matter. How about it?”
His words angered Teacher Lu, who was already filled with anger, and his anger shot up.
“Teacher Ma, you must be wrong. Teacher Zhu and I are making a bet. It hasn’t reached the end yet, right?”
“Who knows, maybe I’ll win in the end?”
The other party’s face was black with anger on hearing Teacher Lu.
“Teacher Lu, you really won’t give up until you reach the Yellow River. I’m just afraid that you’ll accidentally fall in and not be able to come out once you reach the Yellow River!”
“Then you don’t have to worry too much.”
Teacher Lu snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Leaving a person with the surname Ma behind. Teacher Ma was so angry that he stared at Teacher Lu’s back with a dark and cold expression.
Don’t be too pleased with yourself.
In a moment, he wouldn’t be able to find a place to cry!
After Qin Yiyi handed in her drawing, she couldn’t be bothered to stay any longer. As she walked out, she met Teacher Chu, Qin Jiatong, and a few other students.
Seeing Qin Yiyi, Qin Jiatong’s eyes lit up as she jogged over.
“Sister, how is your drawing? I was worried that my drawing wasn’t good. I can’t compare to you, sister, you…”
Qin Yiyi ignored her.
“Excuse me, you’re blocking my way.”
Qin Jiatong, “…”
Qin Yiyi looked at her standing there motionlessly. She thought about how Shang Jingheng was waiting for her outside when he received the message.
She reached out and pulled her aside. Then, she lifted her feet and walked forward.
Behind her, Qin Jiatong’s body swayed and she fell to the ground.
One of the boys ran forward with his long legs and hands.
“Qin Jiatong, are you alright? Let me see where you fell.”
Qin Jiatong didn’t even look at him. Her eyes were anxiously fixed on Teacher Chu.
“Teacher Chu, don’t blame sister. She didn’t push me. It was all my fault for not standing properly. Really…”
Although she had walked some distance away, Qin Yiyi, who had excellent hearing, was speechless. “…”
Well, congratulations classmate Qin Jiatong, you are truly a white lotus deity!
