Yang Lin had always been a loner, and it wasn’t until Bai Lian had come that she became familiar with Yang Lin.

Bai Lian sat down, slowly took out the books from her bag, and considered going to ask Lu Lingxi for the address later.

The cellphone lit up again.

This time, it was a message from Qiu Xuezheng.

Qiu teacher: “The slots will be announced at ten today, remember to tell me immediately.”

Bai Lian took out her biology book, glanced at it

“Can’t watch, have to attend class”

She replied with a calmness.

Qiu teacher:

Qiu teacher: “Did you return to Xiangcheng? You just went back like that? Did you really go back?”

Qiu Xuezheng asked three questions in a row.

Bai Lian: “I still have to attend class”

Qiu teacher had no doubt she could win the award: “But after the announcement, you still need to accept the award! You have to attend the award ceremony!”

“There’s always time for class!”

Bai Lian’s response was cold and merciless: “Then they can mail it back.”

At the other end of the phone.

Qiu teacher found it hard to comprehend.

The Orchid Pavilion Award, which is held every three years; three years ago, even if Qiu Boqing was only nominated, he stayed until the last moment. Bai Lian says “mail it back”?

You don’t even accept the award in person, and it should be mailed back?

Seeing that Bai Lian didn’t reply to him, he reckoned that she was probably tackling practice questions again.

Qiu Xuezheng took out his phone to call Vice President Qian.

“Vice President,” Qiu Xuezheng spoke politely, pausing slightly before saying, “as soon as the results are out, please inform me immediately.”

The roster for the Traditional Calligraphers Association’s Orchid Pavilion Award is announced publicly.

Immediately after the assessment, it is posted on the board of the Calligraphy Association, and two days later, it is uploaded to the official website of the Association.

Today at ten o’clock, the list will be posted on time.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

“I know,” said Vice President Qian, even more anxious than Qiu Xuezheng. It wasn’t even eight o’clock yet, and he was already waiting in front of the board with a crowd of people, “Don’t worry too much.”

After hanging up the phone.

Vice President Qian then turned to Jian Rong beside him and patted him on the shoulder, “Don’t be nervous, a second-place prize is secured for you.”

Jian Rong smiled and shifted his focus, “By the way, what about that female student from before? Why haven’t I seen her today?”

“She has gone home,” replied Vice President Qian.

“Gone home?” Jian Rong was somewhat astonished.

Beside him, Qiu Boqing was not surprised, “She wouldn’t have won an award anyway.”

Vice President Qian mentioned Bai Lian to Jian Rong to divert his attention and didn’t bring her up again, as there was no point in talking about her.

“Xie Jinyun and Miss Xu didn’t come today either,” Qiu Boqing remembered these two and glanced around him.

“That’s normal,” Vice President Qian knew very well, “One is first place, the other second, that’s a sure thing. They don’t need to come. This year’s Orchid Pavilion Award, running into the two of them, it’s just bad luck for you guys.”

This is the confidence in one’s own ability.

Nine forty.

The staff of the Calligraphy Association came with the red roster.

Everyone eagerly watched the red list, covered with a red silk cloth, being attached to the notice board.

Vice President Qian and Jian Rong, usually talkative, remained silent, intently focusing on the list.

As soon as it hit ten.

The red silk was unveiled.

Instantly, the crowd surged forward.

Vice President Qian had foresight, one of the reasons Beicheng Writers’ Association sent him was his good physical strength.

He squeezed into the front and started reading from the bottom, first coming across the nominations, skimming past each name; he saw “Xun Hao” and “Qiu Boqing.”

Both had a chance for the third-place prize.

Vice President Qian thought at least one of them would make it into the third-prize rank—how come they were only selected?

He frowned slightly.

Why did neither of them perform well?

Then he looked towards the third-place winners. There were many third-prize winners, and he scanned through them, ready to skip ahead, but then he saw a familiar name inside—

Jian Rong!

Jian Rong was Beicheng’s biggest hope.

A second-place prize was almost certain, how could it be just a third-place prize?

Vice President Qian couldn’t believe it and read the third-prize section three times over to confirm that Jian Rong truly was a third-place winner.

Meanwhile, exclamations of “What’s going on?” arose from the crowd, as it seemed most people were questioning the assessment.

If Jian Rong was a third-place winner, then who could be second?

Vice President Qian with a furrowed brow looked towards the second-place area.

The Orchid Pavilion Award has many categories, and in the past, the art calligraphy prize would have 3-5 people awarded first place and about ten for the second place.

However, this year’s second place had only five people!

He looked at the first name listed under second place

Xie Yufeng.

This was the pseudonym that Xie Jinyun used in the calligraphy community, and nearly everyone present knew it.

The question was, how could Xie Jinyun be just second place?

Had Xu Yajun surpassed Xie Jinyun?

Vice President Qian looked at the names following closely behind Xie Jinyun, and there was Xu Yajun.

The three names after her were those from the Calligraphy Association who were expected to compete for first place. So what were they all doing in second place?

Was there no first place this year?? frёewebηovel.cѳm

Everyone with this question turned their gaze to the top row.

The sunlight at ten o’clock was somewhat dazzling.

Vice President Qian thought maybe there was some problem with the world as he wiped his eyes and looked towards the first line.

Then, his fingers trembling, he took several tries to fish out the wrinkled report form from his pocket.

His eyes went to the last name—

Name: Bai Lian

Competition name: Bai Jian

After repeated confirmations, he lifted his head again, looking towards the top row

There were only five words.

First place: Bai Jian

This year, the Orchid Pavilion Award had a breakthrough in its history.

For the first time, there were no multiple first-place winners concurrently.

Instead, a first-place prize had been set aside for one person, with no other names standing in comparison!

A standalone first.
