Chapter 157: Honestly
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were two themes for this competition, “Tomorrow” and “Goodbye”. Xu Jiaojiao had drawn “Goodbye”. The contest duration was four hours.
After Xu Jiaojiao sat down, she mused for a short time before starting to draw.
Bai Mengyao was there as the invigilator, and she immediately caught sight of Xu Jiaojiao sitting in the corner.
Why was she here?
Bai Mengyao felt a flash of hostility.
She then saw a familiar figure standing outside the window. Bai Mengyao hurriedly walked towards that figure.
“Lu Zhuo,” Bai Mengyao called his name softly.
“Mengyao?” Lu Zhuo did not expect to meet Bai Mengyao here, asking calmly, “Why are you here?”
“Have you forgotten? I major in art. I was invited to be an invigilator here, and my suggestions will be taken into account during the grading later.”
Bai Mengyao explained as she looked into Lu Zhuo’s eyes. However, he was looking into the distance. Bai Mengyao followed his gaze and found Xu Jiaojiao.
Bai Mengyao’s heart ached.
“I heard that this competition is sponsored by your company. Are you here as the representative?” Bai Mengyao asked.
“You could say that,” Lu Zhuo said to Bai Mengyao, but his eyes were fixed in Xu Jiaojiao’s direction.
Seeing Lu Zhuo like this, Bai Mengyao could not help but feel lonely.
Four hours into the competition, Xu Jiaojiao was so focused that she did not notice that there was no one around her. She only came back to her senses when the invigilator called out to her.
After handing in her work, Xu Jiaojiao walked out of the room. When she passed by Bai Mengyao, it was as if she was looking at a stranger.
However, Lu Zhuo was not as calm when she reached him.
“Jiaojiao,” Lu Zhuo called out softly with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
“Hi,” Xu Jiaojiao replied and walked past him without any hesitation.
Xu Jiaojiao thought that Lu Zhuo was here for Bai Mengyao, so she was not going to strike up a conversation with him.
Lu Zhuo wanted to say something more, but Bai Mengyao stopped him before he could stop Xu Jiaojiao.
“Lu Zhuo…” Bai Mengyao called out to him.
