Chapter 715: I’ll Give You Second Place
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After settling everything, Su Jin returned to the compet.i.tion hall. The drawing of lots was about to begin. The president’s daughters were very lucky. They drew numbers one and six respectively. Hou Wan’er drew number nine, Li Wanru thirteen, and Su Jin sixteen.
Su Jin looked at her number and smiled, “At least I’m not the last one this time.”
“Otherwise, I’m going to cry.”
Li Wanru’s face was filled with excitement as she held her number. She had not expected to really partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. If it weren’t for Su Jin, Li Wanru wouldn’t get a chance at all. This was all thanks to Su Jin. How else would she have made it here so smoothly?
Li Wanru sat next to Su Jin and said to her excitedly, “Sister Su, thank you so much.”
!!Thinking back to Hou Wan’er’s explanation earlier, Li Wanru realized that she was right. Everything Su Jin did was to protect her. She only gave her the golden ticket on the day of the compet.i.tion, or she wouldn’t even have appeared here.
Hou Wan’er looked her number and said playfully, “Su Jin, what are you so happy about?”
“I’m number nine, I’m the luckiest one.”
“You’re behind me.”
Su Jin chuckled when she heard this. She didn’t expect Hou Wan’er would tease her about this… But it’s okay. Her number was quite good. There was a 1 and a 6. Su Jin wasn’t going to let Hou Wan’er off the hook; best friends always tease each other.
Su Jin replied calmly, “Is that so?”
“Look at my number. There’s a 1 and a 6,”
“6 in Hokkien sounds like ‘luck’. Who knows, I might be number 1!”
Hou Wan’er felt a little depressed when she heard this. Su Jin was right. 6 was a lucky number, a smooth-sailing number. But this couldn’t be the reason Su Jin won the compet.i.tion. The winner needed to have real skills and Hou Wan’er was quite confident in her skills. She would definitely not lose so easily.
Hou Wan’er replied, “Tsk, I don’t believe you.”
“I’ll be the champion.”
When Su Jin saw Hou Wan’er’s expression, she knew that her bestie had been rattled. It was just a joke. As for winning the compet.i.tion, Su Jin never cared about that. However, she couldn’t let Hou Wan’er get too c.o.c.ky. Overconfidence could affect one’s performance.
Su Jin looked at Hou Wan’er with a smile and joked, “But you don’t look like one. You’re too cute. You don’t have a strong enough presence.”
“The champion should be someone like me, or people wouldn’t be convinced.”
Li Wanru listened to their conversation and frowned. Although Li Wanru felt that she was good, she didn’t have the confidence to win against Su Jin. After all, the judges’ words from before were still fresh in her mind.
Li Wanru nodded with a serious expression and agreed with Su Jin, “Yes, Sister Su will be the champion.”
Hou Wan’er pouted when she heard this. Why was Li Wanru taking Su Jin’s side? Who said that the champion couldn’t be cute? A cute champion was more down-to-earth hence more well-liked by everyone. Moreover, Hou Wan’er had trained so hard for such a long time for this compet.i.tion.
Hou Wan’er stood up and said indignantly, “Isn’t that too much?”
“Who said that the champion can’t be cute?”
“I said I’ll be the champion. And I’ll be the champion.”
Li Wanru looked at Hou Wan’er cute reaction and couldn’t help but laugh. Su Jin was right. Hou Wan’er was just too cute. Even when she was angry, she was still so cute. If she were to win first place and go on stage as the champion, there might really be people who would be unconvinced.
Li Wanru also realized that her words weren’t too nice just now, so she said with a smile, “That’s right. Hou Wan’er will also be the champion.”
Hou Wan’er was very satisfied when she heard this, and her face filled with joy. Li Wanru couldn’t just admire Su Jin. Hou Wan’er was also very good. Besides, Su Jin hadn’t been practicing diligently. Perhaps, today would be the day Hou Wan’er beat Su Jin to become the champion.
Hou Wan’er patted Li Wanru’s shoulder happily and said with a smile, “Very well. Since you’re so smart, I’ll give you second place.”
“As for Su Jin, who’s just here to play a supporting role, it’s good enough that she gets third place.”
“Su Jin hasn’t been practicing diligently recently. Third place is already very good.”
“Don’t be too proud. Just work harder next time.”
