156: Chapter 156 Thank You for Thinking So Highly of 156: Chapter 156 Thank You for Thinking So Highly of The art museum is a building with a distinct Huaxia characteristic, its exterior resembling an ancient palace, grand and magnificent, filled with cultural ambiance, and covering a vast area.
Because it has hosted provincial art exhibitions before, the Huadu Art Museum is quite famous in Huannan Province.
At this mont, the art museum is crowded with people.
Students from various classes of the Art Departnt, along with students from other departnts, flocked into the art museum just to catch a glimpse of the works selected for the centennial school celebration exhibition.
Of course, what draws the most attention are the works that have won the gold, silver, and bronze awards.
In the spacious exhibition hall, the forty-seven paintings are displayed on the surrounding walls.
These are selected works from the Art Departnt, and the students have begun to appreciate these works.
However, after viewing these works, they realized they did not see any of the gold, silver, or bronze award-winning pieces.
So soone questioned, “Why haven’t we seen the gold, silver, and bronze award-winning pieces?”
“Well, you don’t know.
The gold, silver, and bronze award-winning pieces are the finale, they’ll be revealed at the end,” soone replied.
“Oh, is that so?
Now I’m really looking forward to it.
I wonder who will win the gold award for this exhibition?”
Just then, Lin Fei, Yuan Yuxi, and Wang Yixin entered the art museum.
The appearance of the two leading beauties of the school naturally drew many students’ attention.
“Hey, aren’t they Yuan Yuxi and Wang Yixin?”
“The two leading beauties and talented girls of the Art Departnt are the hot favorites for the gold award this ti.”
“I just wonder which one of them will win the gold award?” Many students speculated.
“Elder Kong already ntioned in our Class 1 that the gold, silver, and bronze award-winning works for this exhibition were all from our class.” A student from Class 1 of the Art Departnt imdiately boasted to students from other classes.
“Really?
That’s unfair, why aren’t there any from our class?” Students from other classes expressed envy.
Another student said, “Co on!
The gold, silver, and bronze award-winning works are all from Class 1, but besides the two talented girls, who else could win?”
“Exactly, Elder Kong was probably just joking with you, and you took it seriously,” many students from other classes doubted.
However, Class 1 students imdiately retorted, “Elder Kong was not joking, the third prize winner is our squad leader, Gu Yiming.”
At this mont, squad leader Gu Yiming was nearby, but seeing Yuan Yuxi appear with Lin Fei made him sowhat upset.
Nonetheless, he was confident that he would win the gold award for the art exhibition this ti, and by then, Yuan Yuxi would undoubtedly see him differently and leave Lin Fei without hesitation.
“That’s right, our squad leader has quite a high level of painting skills; I reckon he’s certainly the gold award winner this ti,” said a few boys who were very close to Gu Yiming, raising their voices instantly.
This naturally drew a lot of attention, and Gu Yiming noticed Yuan Yuxi looking his way.
He secretly thought: Could she know that I’m going to win the gold award and is already considering leaving Lin Fei?
Thinking of this, Gu Yiming was filled with confidence, his face even showing an arrogant expression, as if seeing Lin Fei as insignificant compared to himself.
“You’re all mistaken, the gold award winner of this art exhibition is not , it’s Lin Fei from our Class 1,” Gu Yiming deliberately said loudly to the surrounding students at this mont.
His friends standing around understood that Gu Yiming was trying to mock Lin Fei in front of everyone.
So, they chid in, saying, “Our squad leader is right, the gold award winner of this art exhibition is Lin Fei from our Class 1.”
“A month ago, Lin Fei announced in front of the entire Class 1 that he would win the gold award for this art exhibition.”
“Therefore, the gold award winner of this art exhibition must be Lin Fei.”
There’s no help for it, as the two talented beauties of the school gathered around Lin Fei, it’s inevitable for him to draw hostility.
After hearing the proclamation from Gu Yiming’s classmates, other students began to ridicule Lin Fei promptly.
“This Lin Fei is really quite full of himself, does he really think he can win the gold award for this exhibition?”
“Couldn’t he just take a good look in the mirror?”
“I heard he’s been trying to impress a lot lately, ford so ‘Flying Team’, beat the Hot-Blooded Team, and almost thinks of himself as Jordan.”
“He even wants to compete with the tennis prince Xiao Ling, let’s wait and see him get crushed by Xiao Ling!”
Lin Fei felt unfairly targeted by these sarcastic remarks, but he was already used to it.
After all, Yuan Yuxi and Wang Yixin always appeared around him.
With these two school beauties around, it’s impossible not to draw envy from others.
However, while he could ignore students who mocked him as a bunch of buzzing flies, he couldn’t just let Gu Yiming, who was deliberately trying to sully his na, off the hook.
He doesn’t bully others, but that doesn’t an others can bully him.
So, Lin Fei walked over to Gu Yiming.
Seeing Lin Fei approaching, Gu Yiming felt a bit guilty since he had just made Lin Fei the target of hatred.
However, given the many students in the art museum hall, he thought Lin Fei surely wouldn’t physically confront him, and if they debated, he was confident he could outtalk Lin Fei.
With this thought, Gu Yiming grew fearless, even showing a trace of arrogance in his deanor.
Everyone also turned their attention to Lin Fei walking towards Gu Yiming, speculating: Could it be that Lin Fei intends to hit Gu Yiming?
This should be interesting to watch!
If Lin Fei did hit Gu Yiming, wouldn’t his reputation beco notorious throughout the whole school?
You could say most people wanted to see Lin Fei embarrassed.
However, when everyone thought Lin Fei would lose his temper and embarrass himself, Lin Fei instead moved forward with a smile, shook Gu Yiming’s hand, and said: “Squad Leader Gu, thank you for believing so much in that I would win the gold award for the exhibition.
If I do win it this ti, I will definitely thank you properly.”
Gu Yiming was a bit taken aback, what’s this situation?
Thanking for believing in him?
This guy can’t be that dumb, can he?
Mistaking my mockery for belief in him?
Once Gu Yiming realized, his disdain for Lin Fei rose to a new level.
Students around were also stunned; was Lin Fei genuinely not seeing or pretending not to see Gu Yiming mocking him?
Looking down on Lin Fei, Gu Yiming thought him slow-witted and of poor intelligence, increasingly feeling Lin Fei didn’t deserve Yuan Yuxi, believing he and Yuan Yuxi were a perfect match.
Seeing Lin Fei’s cluelessness, Gu Yiming naturally wouldn’t miss the chance to ridicule him further, giving a faux-sincere smile and saying, “Lin Fei, no need to thank .
If you win the gold award, as squad leader, I’ll send a red envelope in our class’s WeChat group to celebrate you!”
Lin Fei replied with an expression of delight, “Squad Leader Gu, are you serious?”
Gu Yiming smirked internally: Do you really think you can win the gold award?
But on the surface, he showed utmost sincerity, saying, “Of course it’s true.
I plan to give every student in the group a red envelope with 888 yuan each, as a way of wishing for good fortune!”
“Squad Leader Gu, you’re really generous!
Let thank you on behalf of all the classmates first,” Lin Fei shook Gu Yiming’s hand, truly grateful.
And all the students from the other classes around watched Lin Fei with mocking smiles.
To them, Lin Fei was adorably naive, mistaking mockery for genuine well-wishing for his gold award win.
Just then, a student said, “Elder Kong is bringing Mayor Luo and the principal over!”
Everyone turned to look, and they saw Elder Kong and other art professors leading Mayor Luo and the principal into the art museum…
