Ye Ci felt a sting in her heart.

However, she puckered her lips and forced a faint smile.

"No, I didn't get first place. I got second."

The lively classroom immediately fell silent.

Shocked, Lin Zhouyang stuttered as he scratched his head awkwardly.

"Ah? Uhm..."

Ye Ci was known for her paintings ever since she was young. In the past few years, she held the title of a gifted painter and others envied her for that.

Everyone thought she would get first place without a doubt.

Lin Zhouyang looked at her and said carefully.

"Uh... Second place is great! Right? I mean, if you tell others you got second place in the Huatsing Cup, people would still be jealous of you."

It was not great at all.

The first place had a trophy, certificate, and prize money. However, the most important one would be the guaranteed admission to Xijing University.

Second place was nothing compared to that.

She missed it. All her efforts had gone down the drain.

Ye Ci felt terrible but she could never show her emotions in front of everyone.

She returned to her seat, put her bag down, and nodded.

"It's a competition. There's only one first place. I lost and I accept it whole-heartedly."

Lin Zhouyang gave her a big thumbs up.

"That's right! Ye Ci, you are really such a big-hearted person!"

This was as expected of the woman of his dreams!

"Though, I'm curious. Who got first place? Who could've beaten you?"

Everyone had the same question in their heads.

Cheng Xiangxiang had just come back with a cup of milk tea when she heard what Lin Zhouyang said. She grunted.

"It's that guy from Seven High. I don't even remember what his name is, Wei something, something. He always skipped class and his grades are intolerable. He asked someone to modify his painting at the last moment, that's why he got first! Otherwise, he would never!"

Seven High was two blocks away from Second High but both schools were very different.

Aside from the poor enrollment rate, which was the lowest throughout the city, the school had poor discipline and reputation.

A school like that could never educate someone that skilled, yet he beat Ye Ci.

Lin Zhouyang was perplexed.

"Who's that guy who helped modify the painting? It was only a few strokes and he won first place? Who's that capable?"

Cheng Xiangxiang gave Ye Ci the cup of milk tea. She moved the chair out from the table with her leg and sat down.

"God knows."

She was not there at the competition, but she had heard all of it from Ye Ci. Little did she know that, even if Wei Songze used his painting for the competition, he would still get first place and beat Ye Ci.

Ye Ci would never reveal the details.

Ning Li looked at the time and grabbed two mock-up test papers. She was about to leave.
