Chapter 52: Hugs
It was a sunny day, and the yellow sun hung high in the southerly sky, smiling and looking down at the earth. The vast sky was blue and blue, without a single cloud. The 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is really a good day!
Tong Shuihe drove the Beijing new energy red car and took Whelan to the Beizhou Art Exhibition Hall at 9:20 and parked in the parking lot. The two men got out of the car and walked straight to the bottom of the steps outside the main gate of the exhibition hall.
There were more than a dozen people standing in front of the exhibition hall, among whom Nan Zhuang was also waiting there, and when he saw Huilan and Tong Shuihe coming over, he hurriedly greeted them both, and said, "You guys are just in time, the door will open in a few minutes, let's wait a while." ”
Whelan took a handful of flowers and said, "We would like to express our heartfelt congratulations to you first!" Come, this handful of flowers for you! As he spoke, he straightened his arm and handed over the handful of flowers.
Nan Zhuang took the flowers and said, "Thank you!" He said and carefully admired the beautiful handful of flowers. This is a handful of moon flowers, the flowers are colorful, the flower heads are large, each one is in full bloom, there are red, yellow, pink, orange, white, exuding a faint fragrance. He sniffed the flowers and said, "It smells so good!" This is the Chinese moon flower, and this flower is a rose abroad. But the moon flower is much more beautiful than the rose, not only the flower color is rich, but also the flower head is large, and the petal posture is many, I like it very much! He looked at Whelan, "You take this first, I will go on stage in a while, and when the award ceremony is over, you will give it to me." Then he gave the words to Whelan.
"There's also a prize ceremony!" Whelan was a little surprised, "Then after the award is handed out later, how about I come on stage to send you flowers?" Whelan felt it would be more appropriate to send flowers at that time.
Nan Zhuang was still a little hesitant: "I don't know if others have sent flowers?" ”
"We don't care about others, we can send it when we should, it's okay!" Tong Shuihe interjected.
"Okay, you can decide later!" Nan Zhuang agreed.
Lai Quan came over and happily greeted everyone and congratulated Nan Zhuang on winning the award! Nan Zhuang said thank you vigorously. Then he said that he would enter the hall first, and he would see him inside, and then walked towards the gate of the exhibition hall.
The art exhibition hall is a newly built building in Beizhou City in the past two years, the overall shape is L-shaped, the color is light gray in general, and the floor has a three-dimensional effect. There are about 12 floors on the vertical side and 4 floors on the horizontal side, and it looks very modern and is a beautiful building.
There were already a lot of people outside the gate of the exhibition hall, and everyone was chatting and waiting. After a while, the door of the exhibition hall opened, and the three of them walked into the museum with the flow of people.
As soon as you enter the door, there is a large hall, opposite the left is a wide staircase, in the middle there are four elevators, on the right there are two toilets, and on the right is the door of the exhibition hall. Whelan: They followed the flow of people into the exhibition hall. The hall is rectangular, with a simple meeting place in the innermost part and a small stage thirty centimeters high on the right, about 150 square meters; On the back wall of the stage hangs a monogram that reads: Opening Ceremony of the Beizhou Nature Photography Contest Winning Works Exhibition: There are three rows of chairs in front of the stage, and the first and second rows of chairs are full of people; At the back, a horizontal partition was made with a railing, the inside of the partition was the venue, and the outside of the partition was the exhibition area.
People walked into the venue, some in the third row of chairs. Most people stood behind their chairs. After a short pause, a middle-aged man got up from his chair and walked to the middle of the stage. He looked at the crowd in front of him, and then said: "The winners of the Beizhou Nature Photography Contest are at the opening, and first of all, I would like to invite the president of the Beizhou Photographers Association to give a speech. ”
As soon as his words fell, an uncle walked on the stage and said a few words briefly, congratulating the opening of this exhibition! With that, he returned to his seat.
The host introduced the competition and then began to present the awards. He first announced the list of winners of the Encouragement Award, then the list of Bronze Award winners, and ten people took the stage, and then the general manager of the sponsoring company took the stage to present the awards. Then the list of winners of Yinjiang was announced, and six people took the stage to present awards by the vice president of the Photographers Association. Finally, the list of gold award winners was announced, Nan Zhuang and another man and woman walked onto the stage, and the president of the Photographers Association who had just delivered a speech presented them with awards one by one, and the audience applauded warmly.
Tong Shuihe pushed Huilan and whispered, "Come on!" If you don't go up, you won't have a chance! ”
Hui Lan didn't know where to get a courage, holding flowers in his hand, ran onto the stage from the right side, and gave them to Nan Zhuang with flowers in both hands, Nan Zhuang took the flowers and bowed to Hui Lan, and Hui Lan turned around and got off the stage. Seeing this, everyone applauded even more violently, and the applause echoed in the hall.
Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside the gate, shouting, "I'm going to offer flowers too!" With that, he rushed to the edge of the stage, ran up to the stage, and gave the lady a handful of flowers. The woman was so excited that she hugged the man, and the applause was fierce again.
Tong Shuihe said to Whelan who ran back: "You should also hug Nan Zhuang just now, then the effect will be better!" After speaking, he laughed quietly.
Whelan thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's nothing to hug, what I pay attention to now is this, what I want is the effect." But I didn't think about it at the time, and besides, the two didn't know each other that well, and I was a little embarrassed. I'll have experience next time! ”
After the simple opening ceremony, Nan Zhuang walked up to Huilan and said, "Huilan's flower offering is very timely, that young man just now may have seen you holding flowers, so he hurried to buy flowers, and he almost didn't catch up." ”
"Although I almost didn't catch up, but people hugged it, what an atmosphere it is!" Tong Shuihe smiled, "You guys need a hug." After saying that, she looked at Nan Zhuang's reaction.
Nan Zhuang smiled embarrassedly: "I also thought about this just now, but I'm not embarrassed, if Whelan doesn't want to, how embarrassing it is!" After speaking, he looked at Whelan.
"Huilan is not so feudal, and I feel a little sorry that I didn't hug it just now. So, you're here to make up for one. After Tong Shuihe finished speaking, he pushed Huilan forward.
Whelan felt her face heat up a little, and her heart pounded suddenly. Having said that, no matter how much he twisted and pinched, it was too ungraceful, so he stretched out his hands and took a small step forward. Nan Zhuang saw that Huilan opened his hands and naturally opened his arms, and took a big step forward to hug Huilan. Although this is not the two of them taking the initiative to hold, their hearts are very active. The faces of the two were pressed together, and their upper bodies were close together.
Whelan felt Nan Zhuang's strength, felt his generous body, and felt the temperature of his body. She couldn't help but increase her strength, her front body and Nan Zhuang's chest were more tightly pressed, and her face leaned on Nan Zhuang's shoulder.
"Alright, alright!" Tong Shuihe wanted the two of them to hug each other, so that they could get closer, but when he saw that they hugged them tightly and was afraid that Huilan would suffer, he joked and said, "It means a moment, let go!" ”
The two let go of their hands, and Whelan lowered her head in embarrassment. Nan Zhuang also seemed a little embarrassed, and hurriedly found something to say: "Huilan's figure is really good, too slim!" How long is this? ”
"You just found out! She is a standard model figure, if she was a few centimeters taller, she would have become a supermodel! Tong Shuihe put his arm around Whelan's waist and slapped him twice.
"Listen to her nonsense!" Whelan looked up and smiled.
