“Ah!”
Hu Miao exclaimed and glared at Jiang Man. “You bumped into me!”
By this moment, more than half of the time had passed. When the people below saw that Hu Miao’s paints had all been knocked over and that her painting had been ruined, they sighed with regret.
Some people felt that she was pitiful, while others felt happy.
On the other hand, the judges were discussing animatedly.
“I thought that this child’s drawing skills were pretty good. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?”
“Her drawing just now was pretty good. Although it lacked some novelty, even if she didn’t get first place, she could at least get second place. It’s a pity that such a thing happened.”
“Maybe she could even turn the tables?”
“Old Li, what are you talking about? It’s already past half the time. Her previous painting was still okay. If she were to redraw it now, it would definitely be too late! You know so much about painting, how can you say such a stupid thing?”
The judge called Old Li focused his gaze on the painting.
“Maybe that child can really create a miracle…”
The judges’ discussion did not reach the stage. At this moment, Hu Miao was holding her arm and staring at Jiang Man.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Man did not show such an arrogant side.
She lowered her head slightly and helped Hu Miao pick up the paint. She said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose! I hope you can paint well from now on…”
However, when she got closer to Hu Miao, she said, “Don’t think about stealing my place here. Do you think you’re worthy?”
After she finished speaking, she seemed to have provoked Hu Miao with her eyes when she left.
After eliminating Hu Miao, her most powerful opponent, Jiang Man relaxed and focused on her oil painting.
The judges below also saw Jiang Man’s side and discussed in a low voice.
“When I saw the painting that she submitted, I thought that she must be a genius. I didn’t expect that her performance on the spot would disappoint me so much!”
“Indeed. We all agreed that her previous painting was perfect, and it was even slightly better than ours! I didn’t expect that her painting on the spot would be so inferior. However, compared to the others, her painting is pretty good. She should be able to win the championship.”
“The painting that she submitted couldn’t have been created by someone else, right?”
The judge looked at each other again before shifting his gaze away.
However, when his gaze landed on Hu Miao, someone exclaimed in shock.
“That child, she actually has such an innovative ability!”
Although Hu Miao’s painting was in a mess, it seemed to have stirred up her thoughts. She picked up the oil brush and dabbed some paint on it. She repainted the messy painting.
As she painted, she sketched out a richer image with lines.
Hu Miao drew carefully, and her eyes seemed to be full of solemnity.
Even though it was almost over, she still had no intention of giving up on her painting.
The judges were even more nervous than she was!
Finally, a second before it ended, Hu Miao put down her brush.
“I didn’t expect it! Her painting is quite innovative! I thought it was going to be ruined, but I didn’t expect it to be just a few strokes, she created a new realm. It’s much better than the previous one!”
The judges all agreed with this judge called Old Li.
When they went up to choose the painting that they liked, Hu Miao was nervous and clenched her fists tightly.
On the other hand, Jiang Man looked extremely natural, as if she had already expected that Hu Miao would win the championship.
When the final result came out, it shocked everyone’s jaws.
Jiang Man got a high score of 9.6.
However, Hu Miao actually got a score of 9.7, just a little bit more than Jiang Man!
Hu Miao, the girl who looked nervous, won the championship. Beside her, the extremely confident Jiang Man was only a runner-up award.
Hu Miao burst out with joy.
When she went on stage to give a champion speech, she said directly.
“The person I want to thank the most is my Senior Sister, and also my teacher — Jiang Li! She has been teaching me hard during this period of time. If it weren’t for her, I definitely wouldn’t have reached such a height!”
Then, the lights shone on Jiang Li.
Jiang Li smiled encouragingly at Hu Miao. Her face was very calm, and there was no look of surprise on her face. Everyone remembered her at this moment.
“Oh my God, I would never have thought that the student taught by Jiang Li would really win the championship!”
“At that time, when she spread the word in our class, everyone thought that she was just bragging. Who would have thought that she really did it! She really did it!”
Amidst the discussions, Jiang Man, who should have been the center of attention, was completely reduced to a supporting role.
The voices of doubt from below were heard.
“Didn’t Jiang Man draw very well earlier? Why didn’t she win the championship this time?”
“Was there a scheme? We request for a reassessment!”
Jiang man gritted her teeth when she heard that.
This bunch of idiots!
If she was really reassessed, she would be publicly executed again, right?!
However, she had to put on a calm expression. “It’s not the judges’ fault. It’s probably because I haven’t practiced recently.”
The judges, who had seen through everything, smiled at each other.
She was lying.
