Don't Be So Sassy

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The colorful paintings in the oil painting gallery reflected the gradually darkening sky outside the window.

In the middle of summer, a thunderstorm was about to break out, and pedestrians and vehicles on the road were all anxiously rushing home. But the oil painting hall was still brightly lit, packed with people. The awards ceremony was being held.

Claire Evelyn sat in the second row of seats leaning against the left side of the seat, her chin resting lazily in her hand, her white and delicate fingertips tapping on her face, while her other hand held her cell phone, her thumb swiping up to read the news.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Get ready! The special prize is about to be announced!"

Gracie Sophia walked down the stage holding the second prize certificate.

Everyone around her turned to look at her.

Claire Evelyn raised her eyelids to glance at her, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Aiya."

Then she lowered her head to play with her phone again.

As for the seat, the first thing Amelia Isabelle did was take a photo of the certificate and post it on her friends circle*, then fix her dress and tuck her hair behind her ears.

*Friends circle: The place to post statuses on Wechat - similar to Zalo, Facebook.

Then she heard Elysia Heart beside her, resting her chin on her hand and laughing.

She found it strange, immediately exited the friends circle, the message section showed a red circle "3".

Above it was written "Rich women who love to chat all night long".

Diem Le Le: Amelia Isabelle's appearance today is really outstanding.

"..."

Amelia Isabelle looked at the photo Elysia Heart posted, her big eyes rolling back.

A red-haired Tibetan Mastiff* was baring its

fangs and growling. *Tibetan Mastiff: A shaggy dog, as big as a lion.

Above it was also the line: Terrorizing the devil king, almost extinct.

Because of today's awards ceremony, Gracie Sophia specially went to get her hair done. She originally only wanted to trim her bangs, but her brother cut her hair into a messy mess, and dyed it bright red like a lion's mane. As

an art student, she should be a little more free and unrestrained. If she had red hair, then let her hair be red. Gracie Sophia thought the same yesterday.

As a result, today, when Claire Evelyn saw her, she couldn't stop laughing, extremely embarrassed.

"Fuck!" Gracie Sophia scolded her: "Look at what you said, and look at your own WeChat name. You! Worthy! What!"

Claire Evelyn calmly replied: "I'm worthy."

"Where is so sweet about you?" Gracie Sophia questioned.

*Sweet: In Sino-Vietnamese, it's Diem, Claire Evelyn's WeChat name is Diem Le Le.

Elysia Heart smiled, her almond eyes curved, her mouth slightly open, like a little fox. Her jet-black hair was neatly tucked behind her ears, leaving a small lock of hair in front of her chest, revealing a strangely obedient feeling.

She tilted her head and blinked: "Not sweet?"

Gracie Sophia: "..."

Ten minutes later, the "Painting Competition" award ceremony was halfway through, there were a total of four special prize winners, three of whom had already been announced, leaving the last one.

"It's definitely you! It's definitely you!"

Gracie Sophia looked even more worried than Claire Evelyn.

In fact, Claire Evelyn was also very worried that this "Painting Competition" had great value in the field of art, of course she wanted to win the prize.

The host standing on the stage finally finished preparing, and only then did he pick up the microphone to announce: "So the final position of today's special prize is ------ Contestant No. 32, 18-year-old young female artist, Jane Margaret!"

Behind her, a female student stood up, wearing a light-colored floral V-neck dress from the Miumiu brand, highlighting her exquisite and beautiful figure, her small chin raised like a white swan observing all living beings.

Jane Margaret showed a modest smile, bowed to everyone in the audience, and her eyes swept over to Elysia Heart.

"Damn it, Jane Margaret even deliberately glanced over here to look at you!" Amelia Isabelle frowned: "No, why is it her, aren't you also participating in the competition?"

"Um." Elysia Heart's delicate eyebrows furrowed: "I just heard from the organizing committee that there will be another first place prize this year."

Amelia Isabelle was stunned.

This was the first time another first place prize was arranged.

Jane Margaret went up on stage to receive the award and read the congratulatory speech.

As soon as she got off the stage, she heard the host announce that there would be another first place prize this year, and there was only one person, which was also the only top position in this competition.

Elysia Heart silently clenched her fists, her eyes wide open.

Five, four, three, two, one. She silently prayed.

Immediately after, she heard her own name. First place prize.

Gracie Sophia directly threw herself into her arms, shaking her head, her messy red hair stuck to her face, at this moment she looked extremely like a Tibetan Mastiff's fur.

Claire Evelyn was hugged and swayed by the "red-haired Tibetan Mastiff" a few times before going up to the stage.

The little girl had a very beautiful appearance, looked adorable, innocent and pure, her facial features were exquisite, now she was holding the cup tightly in her hand, smiling gently as she looked down at the audience below, her short skirt reaching her knees, revealing her long, white legs, very refreshing.

Suddenly catching a glimpse of a figure, she stopped and stared blankly, the next second she forgot where she had just said. She

resolutely said a sentence "Thank you everyone" and walked down the stage.

She stood at the edge of the stage, looking straight down at the last row of seats of that man.

He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, leaning against the wall, talking on the phone, his face downcast, not knowing what he was saying, his peach eyes slightly raised, his thin lips curved up in a flirtatious manner. He

looked like a bad person, but his appearance was light as the wind and clouds.

When Claire Evelyn looked, her heart beat wildly.

-

She must have been absent-minded at that time, Claire Evelyn thought that perhaps it was because she was a bit pretty, because when the awards ceremony had just ended, Gracie Sophia directly put her arm around her shoulder and asked, "Which handsome boy did you see just now?"

Claire Evelyn smiled and corrected her, "It's a handsome guy!"

Gracie Sophia was stunned, then couldn't help but be curious, before, it was always this girl who spread flirting everywhere, since when did Claire Evelyn take the initiative to compliment someone on being handsome?

"Who is it, who is it, which school do you go to?"

Elysia Heart hugged the cup and walked out, looking left and right, but couldn't see his figure anymore: "He's probably not a student, I saw him wearing a tie last time."

Amelia Isabelle was startled and widened her eyes: "Last time? Do you know him?"

The rain had just stopped, the road was still wet, the smell of soil was thick in the air, Elysia Heart gently wrinkled his nose, and his voice was also choked: "I don't know."

Elysia Heart didn't go into details.
