Yin Hu let Gu Shiyin finish speaking with a smile, then slowly shook his head and said: "Better not. Miss Gu, have you forgotten you are the esteed award presenter today?"
Gu Shiyin was taken aback.
Others might not know, but Yin Hu was very clear that the other day in the tomb chamber, she and Bai Fei made a bet over the Pangu Axe and lost. Forget being a guest, she would have to resign from her teaching position at Imperial University.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one at the scene knew about this bet, she dared to appear on the jury panel so openly, enjoying the last crumbs of her glory and status.
But now, even though Yin Hu obviously knew she was no longer deserving of that status, why did he still emphasize that she was the award presenter?
What did this signify?
It indicated that Yin Hu was still loyally standing by her side, wasn’t he?
She didn’t bother to ponder why Yin Hu would still act like this after surviving a near-death experience. Perhaps his brain got damaged, forgetting that he went to the deathtrap on her advice, or maybe he was too captivated by her charm to complain about anything she did.
Anyway, now he was still wholeheartedly devoted to letting her enjoy the spotlight as the award presenter.
Gu Shiyin’s mood improved, holding Yin Hu’s hand: "Brother Hu, wait for backstage, I’ll present the award shortly, and then I’ll accompany you to the bar, okay?"
After she spoke, she turned and headed back to the jury seat.
The last trace of doubt in her heart was completely dispelled.
So much so that she didn’t even notice that when she turned around, it wasn’t her who let go of Yin Hu’s hand first, but Yin Hu who withdrew his hand from hers as if it were scalding.
The jury seat, after the arrival and departure of Bao Gucheng, already had a new look.
Everyone was praising Wu Qianman, who had risen to the top of the rankings.
"Now this is a well-rounded student, military boxing, talent performance, everything is exceptional."
"I never expected that among our freshn, there would be such a big star who is so low-key. Such talent and character, I fully support it!"
"The second place is also good. That little girl nad Xi Rubao got in from the remote Qingcheng. I heard she usually loves doing good deeds and charity. Such a student deserves the second place!"
The complints abounded, clearly having left the "poor student representative" Xiao Hong behind.
After all, Xiao Hong’s second place was tied, and her extra points from military boxing were the old moves that Mr. Bo frowned upon, which paled in comparison to Xi Rubao’s team’s new boxing performance.
Gu Shiyin was only thinking about herself and had no mind to speak for soone like Xiao Hong. Returning to the jury seat, she smiled and reminded everyone: "Is it ti to present the awards? May I ask who my co-presenter is?"
The principal coughed, a bit awkwardly: "What a coincidence, the male guest just confird he can’t make it... Teacher Gu, how about I accompany you on stage this year?"
"My pleasure," Gu Shiyin replied gracefully.
Her mont of glory, as usual, was about to arrive.
She slightly adjusted the hem of her dress, scanning around trying to find Bao Gucheng’s position, but did not see him.
No matter, the broadcast caras would catch it.
When Wu Qianman receives the award, she didn’t believe that Xi Zuzi wouldn’t be watching. By then, Mr. Bo would see her elegance, her perfection.
Just as Gu Shiyin, arm in arm with the old principal, walked under the spotlight, prepared to present the award.
Suddenly, a screeching microphone sound erupted: "Cough, wheeze..."
Soone was testing the sound.
As Gu Shiyin’s brow just furrowed, she heard a hoarse male voice ring out: "Miss Gu, your mask, it’s ti to take it off."
