Chapter 22: Unexpected Disaster
Chapter 22: Unexpected Disaster
In the hall on the first floor of the Chunjiang Jinlu Hotel, there was a crowd of people, but no one did not make a little extra sound, which affected the contestants, and they would be invited out by the staff, which would be a shame.
The whole process lasted an hour, this time it was a competition, it was all about efficiency, no one was going to wait for you to revise it to perfection, and when the time was up, it would be stopped.
My work is calligraphy, it doesn't take much time, but some of the paintings are more at a loss, when the time paused, I also saw a little girl who looked like a student was still painting there, and was forcibly stopped by the staff, don't think about it, it should not be finished.
I glanced at it from a distance, and the little girl seemed to be painting a landscape painting, which should be Huangshan! But the distance was too far, and I wasn't sure, so I just took a rough look. The overall ink painting is thick and the layout is atmospheric, but it seems that there are some subtleties that have not been completed, which is also a pity.
"Okay, after the comments of the five judges of the Donghai Calligraphy and Painting Association, the works No. 2, No. 15 and No. 35 have entered the finals, let us ask President Li Molin to award honors to the finalists! , the host took a small sign and shouted at the audience, and the audience applauded.
I am not surprised at all that I was shortlisted, after all, with Li Lao secretly working hard, it is difficult for me not to be shortlisted, not to mention that I am very confident in my "Orchid Pavilion Preface".
I walked up unhurriedly, and there were two people on the stage, a man and a woman, and I was surprised to find that I still knew the man.
"An Yuntian, is it really you kid?" I muttered in my heart, he seemed to have discovered me, his face was incredible, but his face recovered in an instant.
"Congratulations!" Mr. Li took the medal from the staff, and when I saw it, it was just a piece of broken paper, and the three good students in the primary school were like a bird, I was speechless for a while, this is too confusing!
I, An Yuntian and another girl took the trophy one by one!
"Your name is Ye Ping, right! Work No. 35 is your work, right?" Li Lao asked me pretendically, his face full of joy, so pretentious!
When I heard it, I understood what it meant, and I smiled and nodded.
I glanced at An Yuntian, and the corners of my mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug look.
"Xiao Ye, why did you choose "Orchid Pavilion Preface" as your entry this time? You must know that the difficulty of this character is the first in ancient and modern times!" Li Lao smiled slightly, deliberately exaggerating my strength!
I naturally understood, I pretended to be embarrassed, Li Lao won the award!
"Old man, I look at your calligraphy...... I don't know if I'm interested in being an apprentice of the old man!" I was pleasantly surprised, Elder Li didn't really want to accept himself as an apprentice, right?
Of course I nodded, whether it was true or not, the play was enough! After that, Li Lao laughed and returned to his seat.
I saw An Donghai next to me with a very bad face, and I was even more suspicious that he knew An Yuntian, and the other old men all cast admiring glances at me, only the one named Zhou Yunyi had a solemn face and stared at me deadly.
I didn't know what it was, but I ignored her.
"Alright, everyone, the final champion will be voted on by the five of us!"
There was no surprise that my work received 3 votes, which were voted by Li Lao and two other old men, and I can roughly guess that they should be Li Lao's people. An Donghai voted for An Yuntian, and Zhou Yunyi voted for that girl.
I didn't take it to heart, in today's play, I am completely acting according to Li Lao's script, haha, An Yuntian, aren't you arrogant? Isn't Taishan collapsing in front and not changing his color? Dumbfounded, right? Fighting with Lao Tzu, you are still too tender.
After the awards, several tabloid reporters wanted to interview me, and I had already been mentally prepared, what my level is limited, anyway, I just pretend to be low-key, thanks to Mr. Li's appreciation......
I said goodbye to Li Lao and was about to drive back, as soon as I went out, I saw An Yuntian talking to a man in the corner, and his face seemed to be a little proud!
This kid is in the water of his brain! A competition is a competition, and in the eyes of others, there is only the first place, so how can he care about other inconsequential people.
Five or six meters away from my car, I saw a girl squatting on the edge of the flower bed and crying bitterly, I recognized her, as if she was the little girl who had not finished the work at the end, with red eyes and tears!
I walked over to comfort her, so that she should not be discouraged and continue to work hard next time.
"Hmm~Mr. Ye~Ping!Thank you!I will work hard!" The little girl saw me coming, stood up, barely squeezed out a smile, crying and laughing, looking very funny!
The little girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a denim suspender jumpsuit and a long ponytail, and she looked very clean.
I wanted to laugh, but I thought it was rude, so I patted her on the shoulder!
"Mr. Ye Ping, can you add a WeChat!" The little girl shouted to me in the back, her eyes were full of anticipation, I nodded, took out her mobile phone and added her!
"Let's go back early!" I got into the car and prepared to go back to the villa for a good night's sleep!
I've been so tired in the last week, especially last night and this morning, I've been exercising my lumbar spine, and I've long been exhausted.
I drove the car in a daze, suddenly I heard a roar of a truck behind me, through the rearview mirror I found a large truck rushing towards me like crazy, the distance is getting closer and closer, my mind is clouded, I hurriedly hit the steering wheel in a hurry, and the front of the car suddenly hit the flower bed on the side of the road!
There was a loud bang, and my head hit the steering wheel hard, but even though the airbag popped out, I felt a panache in my chest and lost consciousness.
......
I don't know how long later, I opened my eyes and found that it was already dark outside, and I was lying in a separate room in the hospital. Hammer was dozing off on the couch next to him, and I tried to wake him up, but I really didn't have the strength to make a sound.
A minute later, the door to the ward opened, and Li Chun walked in with a basin! She seemed surprised to see me wake up, and immediately ran out, still calling for the doctor.
"Leaf! Great! You're awake! I'm scared to death!" the hammer didn't get angry and lightly hammered on my arm, and I grinned in pain, but I saw that the hammer's eyes were a little moist, and my heart was relieved.
Half a minute later, Li Chun walked in with a doctor and nurse, it was a female doctor, wearing a mask, she couldn't see her face clearly, she gave me an operation, and asked me how I felt now, and I told the truth.
"Well, there is basically no problem, remember to help the patient supplement nutrition, eat liquids, preferably bone broth or something!" The female doctor said to Li Chun, Li Chun wrote them down one by one, and sent the doctor away.
"Thank you, Mom!" I smiled weakly, Li Chun's face was a little unnatural, and I didn't care.
It's not appropriate to call it missing, Li Chun doesn't look much older than me, so he looks old.
"Ye Zi, do you know! You have been in a coma for more than a week! I didn't dare to inform Dean Chen, for fear that she would be worried!" Hammer looked very excited, and I said thank you, Dean Chen is like my mother! I don't want her to worry about me.
The next day, Li Lao, Su Ying, Ouyang Xue, Fang Qing and Xiao Yuanyuan all came, I was a little surprised, the others were still the same, I found that when Xiao Yuanyuan looked at me, her eyes were very evasive, I did that with her, naturally I was a little embarrassed!
Xiao Yuanyuan knew that I was married, but she didn't say much, and I didn't tell her about the fake marriage, since she didn't mind, I naturally wouldn't care, the two of us are willing to do it, it's understandable!
The relationship with Su Ying is just like that, there is no substantial progress, and naturally there will be no burden in my heart, but I feel a little sorry for Fang Qing, she is the first woman I have a good impression of.
After that, a few people chatted about some family life, and they all left one by one, leaving only Su Ying and Li Chun to accompany me, after all, she and I were a family on the surface.
"Ye Ping! You take care of it, the hit-and-run driver was caught, drunk, and sentenced! You can rest assured!" Li Chun gave me a reassuring smile, I feel more and more that Li Chun is kind, in recent times, Li Chun has always been like this, unusual, and it is not normal for me to be good.
After lying in the hospital for another week, he recovered poorly, was discharged from the hospital, and returned to the villa. This week, Li Chun was wiping my hands and face and so on, which made me feel warm, and I thought of Dean Chen taking care of me like this when I was a child.
Su Ying will not do anything, just come a few times occasionally, although I did not report expectations in my heart, but I am still a little lost, thinking that after this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, the half-year deadline will be reached, and I don't have to look at her face.
I was lying in bed that day, and Hiroko called me.
"Ye Ping, are you okay!", Haozi's tone was very calm, but it also warmed my heart.
"Our relationship can't be exposed, so I didn't go to see you!", Haozi paused, and said again, he accepted me as a junior brother, and he cared about his own safety, I don't feel strange!
Haozi is not bad, he has not been relieved about the matter before, and he saved me, I admire his measurement.
"It's okay, Brother Hao!" I naturally know that Haozi has his own considerations, if he comes to see me, Yang Lu's side will be exposed, and he will be in a dangerous situation.
"Tonight at 8 o'clock in the No. 1 box of the night bar, Brother Dao wants to see you!" Haozi said something that made me stunned!
I hesitated, but agreed.
I've just heard the name of "Yidao Liu" before, and last time I speculated that Yidao Liu is not a simple person, and I always wanted to see him, but suddenly let me face him, I really felt a little empty in my heart, and I didn't know why Yidao Liu was looking for me!
Could it be that Liu is ready to act? Let yourself go back and add fire?
