"What is that boy doing? He's being silly."
"I could even spill the ink..."
"Why would the boss give him his own?"
Liu Xuanxuan frowned from time to time.
Jiang Yunmiao looked calm and said, "You boss can carry it down, so it should be no problem."
There were some chattering discussions at the beginning, but as the contestants on the stage began to write their works seriously, it gradually became quiet.
Li Chenghuan quickly entered the state.
Practice calligraphy, especially practice the calligraphy of a certain person. If you want to copy an article or write a paragraph to the effect of that person, then you need to practice every word he has written. You have to be very skilled!
This is not easy to do for those calligraphers with outstanding personalities.
But for Li Chenghuan, this matter is very simple. He can already memorize the essence of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy during practice, and after so many years of practice, he has already formed muscle memory.
The reason why writing can cultivate your mind is that you can stay focused even when your mind is wandering while doing it.
This is Li Chenghuan’s real experience.
It may seem a bit mysterious, but it is true. Writing is one of those rare things that requires you to concentrate but is effortless, even better than drawing.
He likes writing not just because he wants to practice calligraphy well, but because he truly feels that the process is very enjoyable. In fact, Li Chenghuan feels that those anxious urbanites on TV can try it. Instead of watching videos, you can practice calligraphy. This process can really effectively reduce internal friction.
He was completely immersed in it.
The fragrance of ink and paper continued to spread, and Li Chenghuan had finished writing two works before he knew it.
Of course, there were some hiccups in this process. After all, the contestants were all students under the age of 14. The biggest one present was probably 14-year-old Ye Ninglu, and there were even some seven or eight-year-old children who were writing calligraphy. I accidentally wrote the wrong word, or didn't grind the ink properly, and ended up crying.
Li Chenghuan finished writing almost one after the other, and Ye Ninglu also finished writing.
She immediately came over to look at Li Chenghuan's works.
Then, a surprised expression appeared on her face, she slowly raised her head and looked at Li Chenghuan.
Li Chenghuan smiled: "What's wrong?"
Ye Ninglu hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "It's nothing, you wrote really well."
Li Chenghuan blinked: "I should be able to take second place, right?"
Ye Ninglu thought for a while, "Then it depends on whether anyone can write better than you."
This sentence directly admits that she thinks she is inferior to the other person.
It's just that the words have come to this point. According to the script, Li Chenghuan should also look at her work and say a few modest words with a smile.
But Li Chenghuan had no intention of taking a look at Ye Ninglu's calligraphy works during the entire process.
Originally this was a reasonable thing, but Ye Ninglu couldn't help but glance at Li Chenghuan.
Every move of these contestants on the stage is within the sight of the audience.
Li Dongjiang said with a smile: "Your granddaughter is very interested in my grandson."
Ye Kai snorted: "You bastard, please don't think so dirty about the simple friendship between two children, okay?"
Li Dongjiang rolled his eyes at him: "Did I say anything? Why are you excited?"
Ye Kai was speechless for a moment and could only say: "Humph."
Then their works were sent to the judges' table.
Because it is scored on-site, all contestants need to wait for a while.
The host asked everyone to take a break backstage and wait for the announcement.
There was a sofa in the waiting area backstage. Li Chenghuan found one at random, sat down comfortably and squinted his eyes to relax.
At this moment, Ye Ninglu's voice sounded in my ears again: "By the way, Li Chenghuan, I heard from grandpa that you are a child?"
Li Chenghuan opened his eyes. Although his height and temperament did not look like a primary school student at this time, he was indeed a primary school student, and there was no need to have any strange mentality about this.
Ye Ninglu smiled: "Then you are my junior."
Li Chenghuan knew Ye Ninglu. Although he didn't know her name at the time, he remembered that she once spoke on stage as an outstanding graduate representative, which was a small pride for him.
Li Chenghuan nodded casually, "Well, are you from No. 1 Middle School?"
"Yes." Ye Ninglu nodded.
Li Chenghuan did the math and found out that she was in the second grade of junior high school. Well, she was one level younger than Jiang Yunmiao, but girls matured earlier, so she gave people the same feeling as Jiang Yunmiao... They were both still little girls. , but looks a little more mature than the average little girl.
Ye Ninglu said again: "I want to thank you very much today."
Li Chenghuan asked strangely: "Thank me for what?"
Ye Ninglu waved, and a boy came over.
It was the one who knocked Mo over just now.
Ye Ninglu said: "He is my younger brother, Ye Zihao."
Ye Zihao said with some embarrassment: "Thank you, brother!"
Li Chenghuan blinked and suddenly remembered: "Well... you are also a kid, right?"
"Um."
"I remember, you seem to be from Class 62, right?"
"Yeah!" Ye Zihao's expression became a little excited.
Ye Ninglu was a little surprised: "Do you know each other?"
We were in the same elementary school and in the same grade, so of course we had seen each other.
Ye Zihao, like most elementary school students, must have had a few people in their elementary school career who were extremely handsome.
Zi Hao often sees Li Chenghuan. He thinks this boy is very handsome, his walking posture is also very handsome, and his grades are very good, so he has wanted to be friends with Li Chenghuan a long time ago.
But there has been no chance.
After a few words, Ye Zihao finally got to know Li Chenghuan. He became excited and said, "The first prize this time will definitely be you!"
Li Chenghuan smiled: "It's not that exaggerated."
Ye Ninglu said: "I also think it should be you. Your handwriting is indeed very beautiful."
Li Chenghuan smiled and stopped talking. For him, it didn't matter whether he won the award or not, but it was better if he got it. After all, it could make his grandparents, parents, and parents happy.
Ye Zihao admired Li Chenghuan even more. People who are praised by others without showing any emotion always have a special charm.
It didn't take long before he was calling "big brother" one after another very smoothly.
After anxious waiting, the judges finally announced the results of the competition.
As expected, Li Chenghuan successfully won the first place.
The second place went to Ye Ninglu, which was no surprise.
After the game, Li Chenghuan and Ye Ninglu went out together. Jiang Yunmiao and Liu Xuanxuan were waiting for him at the door.
Seeing the three people coming out together, Jiang Yunmiao blinked her eyes and shouted: "Cheng Huan!"
Li Chenghuan greeted Ye Ninglu: "My friend is still waiting for me, let's go."
Ye Ninglu smiled and nodded: "Well, my grandpa is over there, and I'm going there too."
At this moment, Ye Zihao said: "Brother, come to our house to play when you are free!"
The moment he heard this sentence, Liu Xuanxuan frowned.
Li Chenghuan said casually: "Okay."
"Goodbye then!"
"goodbye."
After the siblings left, Li Chenghuan turned to Jiang Yunmiao and Liu Xuanxuan and said, "It's hard to wait for me for so long, let's go back!"
Jiang Yunmiao showed no expression and nodded: "Okay."
Liu Xuanxuan walked in front without saying a word.
Li Chenghuan was a little strange and asked Jiang Yunmiao in a low voice: "What's wrong with him?"
Jiang Yunmiao glanced at Li Chenghuan strangely, and then said with a half-smile, "Well... maybe she's jealous."
Li Chenghuan was startled: "Jealous?"
Jiang Yunmiao laughed, "He is really a little kid."
