Chapter 29: Chapter 029 Show Off a Little
Sheng Tang smiled at him, and he nodded again.
His steps paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something to Sheng Tang, but hesitated and walked away.
This movement of his was still noticed by others, and everyone was once again shocked.
They walked over, and Sheng Tang sighed, "Why treat him like that? Isolating him like this must be hard for him too."
Jiang Baocu poked her, "Shh, don’t talk nonsense."
"What’s going on?"
"That’s Gu Shiting, the Crown Prince of Huishi. He’s got too many affairs, can’t explain them all at once. Let me tell you what happened today: yesterday, a girl from his class, whether accidentally or intentionally, fell into his arms. Not only did he push her away immediately, but she was also forced to transfer this morning." Jiang Baocu said.
Sheng Tang frowned slightly, "Then isn’t he being isolated deservedly?"
Jiang Baocu immediately covered her mouth, "Watch your words, fellow student. Do you realize who you’re talking about?"
Sheng Tang smiled slightly.
After the seniors left, it was Sheng Tang and her classmates’ turn, and they entered the auditorium one by one.
The poetry competition award ceremony in the afternoon was very lively.
First, the prizes for tenth to fourth places were awarded, then it was time for the top three.
Sheng Tang went up to the podium. A female classmate who was volunteering brought up the trophy, certificate, and check.
The third place was awarded first, then the second place.
When it was Sheng Tang’s turn, the volunteer classmate suddenly trembled and shattered the first-place trophy into pieces.
The girl almost cried, "I... I..."
The host was also stunned.
The trophy was pre-made, where could they find another one now? Even if there was a spare, it couldn’t be engraved with Sheng Tang’s name so quickly.
"It’s okay, the excitement is still there even with a broken trophy." Sheng Tang took the microphone and said proactively.
She was not at all reserved on stage, her stage presence was very steady.
She thanked the school and the homeroom teacher for their support.
This little incident soon passed, and it did not affect the lively atmosphere of the award ceremony at all.
Sheng Tang finished her thank-you speech, took her award certificate and check, and walked off the stage.
Backstage, someone came to clean up the shattered trophy. The volunteer girl who broke the trophy smiled as she stepped off the stage.
She did it on purpose.
She was also in Class 1 of Year 2, and Sheng Tang probably never noticed her. She had always admired Qi Lin, and seeing him so embarrassed, she couldn’t help but want to restore his dignity.
And she managed to do it.
The broken trophy caused various reactions in the audience.
Gu Shiting was sitting in the last row, with no one around him. His hands were clasped together, his eyes cold, he wished he could punch the girl who broke the trophy.
He often had very strong violent urges, but each time he could control them, he had never actually hit anyone.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Song Chen: "Make a new trophy and send it together with ’Qing Shan Poetry Collection’ before school ends."
Two seconds later, Song Chen replied, "Got it."
He didn’t need to give special instructions; Song Chen would know what to do.
After the awards ceremony, senior students with broadcasting majors read all the winning poems.
"Goodbye Cambridge Again" had been criticized by the teachers for a long time, yet when placed alongside other students’ poems, its uniqueness immediately stood out.
After listening, the students began discussing enthusiastically.
"The first place is well-deserved!"
"The literary style is beautiful, it has an elegant feel, unlike the second place’s overly complex verbiage."
"We’ve all been to Cambridge, the school organized the visit last semester. How come none of us thought to write about it?"
"It sounds great, like a song. This must be the charm of poetry, right?"
