The other judges also gazed eagerly at the painting and said:
"Wonderful! Truly wonderful!"
Just then, the hour allotted for painting came to an end!
The judges reluctantly tore their eyes away and headed to the front. They still had to judge all the paintings.
Another hour passed, and the rankings for the Painting Contest were announced. Song Yaoyao had taken first place.
To ensure that everyone accepted the results wholeheartedly, the top ten works from each round had to be displayed on the spot for everyone to see.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Song Yaoyao's painting.
The Song Qingyu in the painting looked exactly like the real man, right down to each distinct strand of hair...
They prided themselves on their painting skills, but they could not paint a person with such lifelike spirit!
Song Yaoyao's first place in this Painting Contest was thoroughly deserved!
Second place went to Song Qingyu, who had painted autumn mountains after the rain!
Third place went to Xiao Minglang, who had painted several young men racing horses!
Fourth place went to Gao Jiayou, who had painted butterflies dancing among lush, splendid peonies!
Fifth place went to Lou Shuyu.
It had to be said that Lou Shuyu was talented too. His painting was Maid Picking Lotus!
Song Yaoyao looked up and saw Lou Shuyu glaring hatefully at their group!
Meeting Lou Shuyu's gaze, Song Yaoyao raised a thumb, turned it downward, then ground her foot against the ground several times.
Song Yaoyao mouthed a single word: "Trash!"
At first, Lou Shuyu was taken aback by Song Yaoyao's gestures. Then he saw the movement of her lips and understood. She was calling him trash!
Lou Shuyu's expression turned exceptionally ugly!
He suspected that the Song Household might already know what he had done
