Chapter 152 - 152: Cute?
The phone call lasted for half an hour before Huo Zheng was reminded of a meeting by his assistant.
After that, Lin Xiaowan looked at the Venus Hope Competition’s official website. After the live broadcast ended, the winners were also listed on the website. Apart from that, the mysterious prize for the winner was also revealed. It was a paid family trip abroad, which included air tickets, accommodations, and expenses. A tour guide and interpreter would also accompany them during the trip. It would definitely be an enjoyable trip.
Lin Xiaowan looked at the person who placed first. As expected, it was the person whom Hong Minhua had mentioned earlier. The work was initially ranked 26th placed first with a score of 9.892.
The colors were bold, and the lines were delicate. The painting was vivid and neat. It was almost comparable to that of a professional. No one would expect that the artist was a deliveryman who loved painting. This proved that one could not judge a book by its cover.
Lin Xiaowan quickly received an e-mail from the Venus Hope Competition. After filling out the form, all she had to do was wait for the 10,000 yuan she won from the Most Creative award to arrive.
A staff member of the Venus Hope Competition also called Lin Xiaowan to ask if they could put her artwork up for sale in the gallery. Naturally, the profits would go to the artist. This was advantageous to the participants since the paintings could be sold at a high price.
Nonetheless, Lin Xiaowan refused without taking much time to consider it. She wanted to frame the painting and give it to Lin Qing. It was also a form of support and affirmation for Lin Qing’s choice of hobbies and life.
The time for the Huo family’s banquet had been set.
Qiao You’an invited Lin Xiaowan to fly overseas with her to attend Fashion Week before that. She planned to buy a few dresses for Lin Xiaowan.
After announcing their engagement, Lin Xiaowan and Huo Zheng would move into their new home in Xilin Imperial Garden.
Lin Xiaowan’s award-winning artwork had been entrusted to Huo Zheng. He had asked someone to choose a good wooden frame for it.
Two days before Lin Xiaowan left for Fashion Week with Qiao You’an, Lin Xiaowan’s character in the fantasy drama suddenly gained some popularity.
At this time, there were only a few episodes left. It was finally revealed that Lin Xiaowan’s character was the mastermind behind the scenes. Interestingly, the character had always been cursed at, but after her appearance, her image seemed to have improved.
Lin Xiaowan nestled in Huo Zheng’s arms as she watched the drama with him in the home theater.
Although Huo Zheng did not know the full plot, he had briefly flipped through the script before. After all, he had helped Lin Xiaowan rehearse previously so he had some impression of it.
He stroked her cheek with his thumb as he said, “You look very beautiful, and your acting is good as well. Do you like acting?”
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes. “What acting? I only sat there and said a few words. Moreover, 1 only appeared for a few minutes…”
Huo Zheng smiled and did not respond to these words. Instead, he asked again, “Do you like acting? If you do, 1 can get someone to find you a good role that won’t be tiring…”
Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a moment. She felt that it would be quite stressful to be under scrutiny all the time, especially when the cameras were constantly trained on her. Finally, she said, “No. I think it’s very interesting to watch the filming process though. Perhaps when Sister Yuwu is filming again, 1’11 follow her to have a look.”
“Okay, as long as you like it,” Huo Zheng said. As long as she was happy, he did not have any objection.
Gu Yuwu sent a message to Lin Xiaowan. She was the one who told Lin Xiaowan that the goddess had become relatively popular. Since it was about 8 PM, she did not call, worried that she would disturb Lin Xiaowan’s dinnertime.
Lin Xiaowan logged onto Speaker. When she filmed the character of the goddess, she had not been exposed yet. After attending the charity auction with Gu Yuwu, many people knew what she looked like. After the fantasy drama began airing, people began to speculate again.
Lin Xiaowan’s latest update on Speaker was the list of winners of the Venus Hope Competition. Her name was listed as Xiaowan, without her surname. With so many pieces of evidence, it would only take a short time before some observant netizen pieced the puzzles together. As such, she took the initiative to say that she had participated in a competition. She wanted to write something since it was her first time participating in a competition and winning a prize. However, after thinking about it for a long time, she did not know what to say so she could only give up.
Whether it was Huo Zheng, Qiao You’an, Huo Cheng, Gu Yuwu, or Hong Minhua, the few people who were close to her had already praised her to the sky. With so much praise and encouragement, she could not help but overthink. She was worried that if she said too much on the Internet, people might misunderstand and think that she was showing off.
After all, even the first person who won first prize did not even have a Speaker account. The second-prize winner only posted a short message to express his gratitude. With these two people as a comparison, Lin Xiaowan felt that she was too ostentatious.
Currently, a large number of people who had watched the latest episode flooded Lin Xiaowan’s comment section.
[Netizen #1: Wow! What kind of goddess is she? She even knows how to paint! How impressive!]
[Netizen #2: Imagine this. There’s no one in the divine realm except for the goddess. Imagine her holding her chin and painting in the divine realm because she’s bored. It’s a little cute, right?]
[Netizen #3: She’s so cute! The divine realm only has the goddess. Think about it, what else can she do but torment the main characters and toy with them?] [Netizen #4: Moreover, the goddess seemed to have seen the errors of her way in the end and saved everyone!]
[Netizen #5: Don’t you think her behavior is like that of a child who has been ignored and is only seeking attention?]
[Netizen #6: The goddess looks so cute sitting there…]
Lin Xiaowan read the comments with her mouth agape.
‘Cute?’
She recalled the goddess was supposed to be cold, ruthless, and decisive. Why did the goddess suddenly become cute? She wondered if her acting skills were that bad. However, no one said anything when she was filming. She was really puzzled when she thought about this..
