Just thinking about it made Qiao Yimeng happy.
However, when she saw Ding Ruola walking onto the stage, she was so shocked that she immediately stood up. She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, filled with despair. "How could it be her?!"
Thinking of the book she had torn to pieces and the words she had said to Ding Ruola, Qiao Yimeng couldn't help but tremble all over. Tears streamed down her face. "It's all over now..."
Seeing Qiao Yimeng suddenly stand up, the others also stood up, showing their admiration and respect for the great master.
There was a roar of cheers from the audience. On the stage, Ding Ruola was calm and composed. Her eyes were full of kindness and radiance. She casually told the little kids some things they were interested in.
Some were so excited that they raised questions, and she shared some of her experiences.
However, Qiao Yimeng, who had originally planned to show off, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
"Well, it's obvious that the junior schoolmates are very enthusiastic! Senior Ding has also shared some of her experiences with us. I hope everyone will work harder! Now, let's welcome our first - place winner this time, classmate Qiao Yimeng, to come on stage and give a speech. Let's give her a round of applause."
Qiao Yimeng tightly grabbed the corner of her skirt.
In the past, in front of Senior Mei, she would definitely have seized the opportunity to perform well when it came to giving a speech on stage.
But now she was very nervous.
After getting on stage, she couldn't help but secretly glance at a certain senior in the corner. When she saw the other person looking in her direction, Qiao Yimeng immediately got so nervous that she forgot her speech. Finally, she stammered and ended her speech hastily...
Most of the people in the auditorium had left. Ding Ruola, who had fallen asleep in her seat after giving her speech, was poked awake by Bi Shuang.
There was a crowd of junior schoolmates surrounding her, all asking for her autograph.
"Senior! We've always regarded you as our idol! Please give us your autograph!"
"Exactly! Senior! You're really amazing! You've won international awards! Why don't you let the club hang your photo on the wall to inspire us?"
"Senior is just low - key. In our club, only the photo of Senior Ning Qing from University A is hung up to spur us on."
Ding Ruola stood in the middle of the crowd, smiling awkwardly but politely.
Her handwriting wasn't good at all, but these little fans regarded it as a treasure.
Feeling a bit guilty, Ding Ruola thought that she had to practice her calligraphy well after this!
Feeling a cold and intense gaze, Ding Ruola casually raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of a tall and straight figure outside the crowd.
Looking at Ding Ruola surrounded by people, Mei Xuejian's eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, he put one hand in his pants pocket, carried his backpack, and left.
After the crowd dispersed, just as Bi Shuang and Ding Ruola were about to get up and leave, they saw a girl standing in front of them.
Seeing that it was Qiao Yimeng, Ding Ruola quietly tucked the bag in her hand closer to her chest.
Bi Shuang, who noticed this, thought, "..."
"Hey, classmate, Senior Mei Xuejian has already left. Aren't you going to follow him?"
"I didn't bring a book this time..." Ding Ruola tugged at the corner of her mouth and looked at Qiao Yimeng warily.
Qiao Yimeng stood upright, with a complex expression and a bit of timidity on her face.
"So, you're that legendary senior. Why didn't you cancel my first - prize qualification?" After a long while, the girl spoke, her voice a bit soft.
"Why should I cancel your qualification? Didn't you design it quite well?" Ding Ruola asked with a smile.
"But I tore up your book! And I said those things to you. It turns out you're the great master, so much more powerful than me. I... I'll give Senior Mei to you. And I'm sorry."
Qiao Yimeng lowered her head a bit more. All her arrogance and domineering had disappeared.
How dare this little girl tear up Ruoruo's book right under her nose? This little girl was really something! Bi Shuang got a bit angry when she heard this.
She rolled up her sleeves and was about to step forward to teach Qiao Yimeng a lesson when Ding Ruola stopped her.
Qiao Yimeng glanced at Bi Shuang and unconsciously took a step back. Her eyes were full of timidity.
"Hahaha! How could it be? Your design is really good!"
"That book was already too old to use. I've bought a new one. And I'm already married! I won't compete with you for Senior Mei. Do you want to see my marriage certificate?" Thinking of Professor Fang, Ding Ruola smiled brightly.
"Just don't bully your junior schoolmates in the future. Because you never know whether the person in front of you is someone you can afford to offend. Even if they're not now, they might be in the future." Ding Ruola smiled and added with a blink of her eyes.
Qiao Yimeng lowered her head blankly, filled with guilt.
"Got it..."
The yellow solar streetlights made the night seem warm, a scene of warmth and harmony.
Ding Ruola was wearing a small European - style dress and walking alone on the path.
Compared with Ding Ruola, Bi Shuang had a lot more things to do. She had joined some student union organizations and was extremely busy all day long.
"Classmate Ruola."
A clear voice came from behind. Ding Ruola turned around and saw a tall boy about 1.83 meters.
Mei Xuejian was wearing a black - and - white checkered shirt and a pair of tight black jeans. He put one hand in his pocket, looking cold.
The junior schoolmates passing by couldn't help but scream.
The yellow streetlights shone on the girl's face in front of him. Time seemed to weave into a veil here, a scene of tranquility and serenity.
The boy paused for a moment, then picked up the book in his hand and held it out to the girl. "This is my class notes. You haven't come to class for a long time. The final exam is coming soon."
His voice was still cold, but the words were full of concern.
"Oh, thank you, classmate Mei! I've borrowed Bi Shuang's notes! It's okay! Thank you!"
Reacting, Ding Ruola hugged the books in her arms and smiled brightly.
"Oh, I see. Then..."
"Do you have any new design works recently?" There was a bit of expectation in the boy's eyes.
Ding Ruola was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She took out a small and delicate picture album from the stack of books in her arms.
"Here you are."
"Thank you."
The boy's eyes seemed to be filled with countless stars.
He looked at the girl in front of him. It took him a long time to take the picture album and then turned away.
In the early morning, on the playground.
Ding Ruola was wearing a gray - white tight sports suit. She was already out of breath after running two laps.
Not far away, there was a group of girls standing.
"Monitor, do you need us to teach her a lesson? It's really a bad start to see her in the early morning." A girl rolled up her sleeves and whispered in Qiao Yimeng's ear.
When Qiao Yimeng saw Ding Ruola, her eyes lit up.
As if she hadn't heard this, she snatched the water from another girl's arms and walked towards Ding Ruola.
"Is the boss going to splash water on her? It's a bit cold in the early morning!"
"She deserves it! Who told her to seduce Senior Mei! Hey, I've got two more bottles of water here! Wait for me, boss!"
Two girls who didn't know the truth gloated.
