Chapter 6: The Smile of the Night Prince 4
What will she perform?
Painting while standing on your head? Or painting with your feet?
Although it was my turn next, I was not nervous at all. Instead, I was very curious about senior Tian Xingzi recommended by Hu Xiaoli.
As the music started, senior Tian Xingzi turned sideways to face the audience, then closed her eyes, picked up the paintbrush, dipped it in paint and began to paint on the canvas.
"Blind painting? Humph, a mere trifle!" Xia Lei snorted contemptuously, but Senior Tian Xingzi remained unmoved.
She waved the paintbrush smoothly with her eyes closed all the time until the music stopped and the one minute was up. Then she stopped painting, turned around and opened her eyes.
"Let us see your painting!" Qian Yuefang said impatiently.
Tian Xingzi smiled slightly and turned her painting around.
When everyone saw the painting, they all gasped.
"Hahaha, what is this mess?" Xia Lei laughed out loud without any hesitation.
"A modern art painting? I don't understand it..."
"She's embarrassed... If you don't have the strength, stop pretending!"
…
There was a lot of discussion below, only the people in the judges' booth, especially senior sister Ji Xiaotu, were unusually calm. She seemed to be very confident in her members, and Tian Xingzi was not panicked at all.
“Is this your work?”
"That's right." Tian Xingzi nodded, but she did something unexpected. She took down the drawing board and held the painting upside down in her hand. "But you have to change the angle to see it clearly."
“Wow——”
After Tian Xingzi turned the painting over, a magical scene appeared. The black graffiti turned into an artistic black and white portrait, and the person was Jing Fengyin.
Jing Fengyin was also stunned and said, "This... is such a big surprise! Thank you, Mr. Tian, for creating such an excellent painting based on me..."
Tian Xingzi nodded politely and looked at Xia Lei who was staring at the painting in disbelief.
The unbridled ridicule before made Xia Lei look even more ridiculous at this moment.
"No, no, that's impossible!"
Also hit hard were the members of the Night Star Fans Club who had been actively supporting Xia Lei.
"How could this happen? President Xia Lei actually lost."
"Our president actually lost..."
"Senior Tian Xingzi from the Ladies' Club...it seems her grandfather is the famous painter Tian Chengzi!"
…
No matter how reluctant they were, the result was bound to come.
"Although Xia Lei failed in the challenge, she is the most popular online and received more than 50% of the votes from the judges... After Lin Weiya finishes the challenge, we will combine the popularity online, the judges' scores, and the challenge results to come up with the final score!"
After Jing Fengyin finished her announcement, Xia Lei returned to her seat.
And in the audience, three guys also started cheering.
"Come on, Via!"
"Viya, you are the best, you will definitely win!"
"Viya, Viya, perform well..."
…
Those three people cheered for me desperately, ignoring the cold stares from the Night Star Fan Club members next to them.
I waved at them, glanced across the referee's seat, nodded to Qian Yuefang and Jing Fengyin, and then met Xing Ye Liu's icy blue eyes.
He nodded slightly at me, and I immediately felt confident.
Xing Yeliu made a bet with me. If I win, I can...
I strode onto the stage, and the things that had been prepared earlier were pushed up by assistants on three long food carts.
"Huh? So many props, what are they?"
"A dining cart with a covered tray..."
"What is she going to perform ?"
"She is Lin Weiya. I am looking forward to her specialty assessment!"
"I feel like this time it's going to be a big deal!"
"Is the live video streaming started? Let's take a look at the popularity..."
"Humph, don't even think about surpassing our President Xia Lei..."
…
I stood on the stage, took a deep breath to calm myself, then smiled at everyone and said, "I'm Lin Weiya, and today I want to show you my specialty: eating!"
"What kind of specialty is eating? Hahaha..."
"That's so funny! It turns out that dining car is full of food!"
…
"What kind of specialty is this? Doesn't everyone know how to eat? If you don't have any other specialties, just admit defeat!"
"Yes, step down!"
Xia Lei and the members of Night Star Fan Club started to make a fuss.
"Be quiet and let Lin Weiya finish her words."
Jing Fengyin stepped forward to take charge of the situation.
“I will eat all 30 desserts listed here in 30 minutes and name the ingredients used to make each one. Of course, I will be wearing an eye patch to block my vision!”
This not only tests my appetite, but also my taste sensitivity.
"Wow, the number of people watching the live broadcast is starting to increase..."
“This challenge seems quite difficult…”
"She ate it all and was able to tell the ingredients by her sense of taste? That's horrible..."
"Oh my god, she's so thin, can she eat so many desserts?"
…
Everyone was talking about it.
Jing Fengyin returned to her seat, and the person in charge of the live video broadcast pointed the camera at me - all the preparations on the stage had been completed.
The assistant came over and put a blindfold on me, and then two more people took turns bringing the dessert to me.
Everything was dark before my eyes and I could hear all kinds of discussions in my ears.
I felt like I was back in my childhood - when I was working hard to train myself to be a child with "special talents".
"Okay, let the countdown begin!"
A voice announced, and someone handed the dessert to me. I sniffed it as quickly as I could before picking it up with my gloved hands and taking a bite.
"Nut Crumble Crepes! The main ingredients are hazelnuts, walnuts, wheat flour, and milk..."
After saying that, I finished the first dessert as quickly as possible.
"Oh, she's so fast!"
"It's exactly the same as the information on the Internet, there's nothing wrong with it..."
The second dessert was delivered to me.
"Napoleon cake, um, it's decorated with a strawberry, and the main ingredients are puff pastry and cheese..."
Then comes the third one.
"Viennese chocolate cake, the ingredients are..."
The fourth...
"Caramel pudding, the ingredients are butter, vanilla essential oil, and fresh eggs..."
…
I kept eating the desserts that were sent to me, and kept saying the ingredients. After losing my vision, my sense of taste became more sensitive. Every time I tasted a dessert, the rich taste passed through my tongue and accurately conveyed the information to my brain.
"Amazing! She was able to name the ingredients of those cakes without any hesitation."
"The online popularity has exceeded 4,000. No, it's 4,500 and it's still rising..."
"What should I do? I want to eat it too! This girl not only has a keen sense of taste, but the way she eats is also very pleasing to the eye."
"A big eater can also have such a cute girl? Ah, I like it..."
…
The audience's voices also changed from doubt at the beginning to amazement, and now to praise.
finally……
30 minutes may seem like a long time, but I felt it was very short as I was immersed in all the delicious desserts.
When Jing Fengyin announced that the time was up and the blindfold was taken off, I opened my eyes and found that everyone in the audience was looking at me in disbelief.
The assistant next to me was still counting my accuracy.
When they announced 30 different types of desserts and I accurately identified the ingredients of all of them based on my sense of taste alone, there was burst of applause.
"That's great, Via!"
"You are my idol, the big eater girl Lin Weiya!"
…
I looked at the cheering crowd with a smile, but among them, Xia Lei, who was surrounded by the Night Star Fan Club, was biting her lip and glaring at me angrily.
"Announcement: Lin Weiya's video has a popularity of 10,000, and she deserves the first place!" Jing Fengyin walked up to me and announced, "Does anyone want to come up and challenge this project?"
"Well, I can eat it, but the problem is that my sense of taste is not that sensitive!"
"She is already invincible in this competition."
“The key is that she is also very cute.”
…
For a long time, no one present had any objection - except Xia Lei, but she had no choice but to glare at me fiercely.
Jing Fengyin returned to the referee seat, exchanged opinions with the people next to her, and announced the result again: "Student Lin Weiya is currently the most popular online video live broadcaster, has passed the special talent assessment, and the referee pass rate is over 50%. The final winner of this assessment is student Lin Weiya!"
"I object!" The warm atmosphere was destroyed by an angry voice.
Xia Lei suddenly stood up.
"What do you object to?" Jing Fengyin asked with a frown.
"Her victory is not convincing!" Xia Lei pointed at me and questioned.
"Her online videos are more popular than yours, her passing rate in judging is also higher than yours, and she also succeeded in the specialty challenge. Why can't she win?" Jing Fengyin asked back.
"Yeah, can't you afford to lose?"
"Our Weiya won fair and square against you!"
…
My roommates stood up for me and I couldn’t stand idly by.
I walked off the stage, stood opposite Xia Lei, looked her in the eye, and asked, "What do you think is unconvincing?"
"Your specialty? It's just eating, what kind of specialty is that? What's the use of such a boring skill? Even if you win the world's big eater championship, it's just a weird award!" She glared at me and said contemptuously.
"Hey, are you exaggerating?"
"Yeah, you look down on people! Is a big eating contest not a competition? Is the big eating champion not a champion?"
…
I waved my hands gratefully to the audience who spoke for me, turned my head, looked at Xia Lei with a smile, and said, "I never thought that being able to eat, taste, have a keen sense of taste and a bottomless appetite are boring skills. Maybe such skills can't help me make a lot of money, nor will I get any awards recognized by the academy. Maybe many people even think that the eating contest is funny, as you said..."
The people in the audience fell silent instantly.
"But it doesn't matter if you think it's funny, because this is a skill that makes people happy. I'm very happy because I just heard someone say that I look good when I eat dessert. We all have the ability to eat, but people like me who know how to eat, love to eat, and are very good at this basic ability of eating... I'm not bragging, I think it's already amazing. We get energy to survive by eating. Just imagine, if you don't know how to eat or can't eat, then how skinny you would be now..."
Some people couldn't help laughing.
I waved in the direction of the laughter.
"People who know how to eat have a healthy body and mind, and people who love to eat are more likely to be happy and blessed. So, as a girl with the specialty of a big eater, I am very proud."
There was a smile on my face, and the delicious desserts I had eaten before turned into cute little angels, giving me the courage to face all doubts and difficulties.
Xia Lei opened her mouth and looked at me blankly, but at this moment she no longer had any reason or excuse to attack me.
“Clatter…”
There was warm applause.
I turned around and saw people in the audience applauding and cheering for me, the elegant girls from the Ladies' Club, my naughty roommates, the shy girl Shen Enjing, and even some members of the Night Star Fan Club couldn't help but applaud.
besides--
In the referee's seat next to me , in addition to the three seated referees, Jing Fengyin, Qian Yuefang, and Xing Yeliu, they stood together and applauded for me.
"I declare that the new member of the Special Management Office is first-year student Lin Weiya! Congratulations, Lin Weiya!" Jing Fengyin announced solemnly again, and emphasized, "The assessment of the new member has been approved by the school. If there are any more doubts, our Special Management Office will no longer pay attention to them."
"Xiao Wei Ya, welcome back!"
Qian Yuefang shouted at me happily.
that person--
In an instant, my heart started beating faster.
Ah, this guy Xingye Liu, the way he smiles is so "foul"!
