The Long-awaited Mr Han

Before Lu Man entered the classroom, she heard the loud and noisy chattering from inside.

When she took her first step into the classroom, it immediately became silent.

Everyone stared at her, dazed.

Many of them wore a complicated expression while some of them purely looked surprised.

"Lu Man!" Pan Xue called out excitedly.

Lu Man smiled. Thankfully, she sat together with Pan Xue, Zheng Yuan, and Han Leilei.

She walked to her seat and sat down. In front of her, to the left of her, and to the right of her were Zheng Yuan, Pan Xue, and Han Leilei, respectively.

"On the day of the finals, after the competition ended, we originally wanted to go backstage to meet you, but we ended up seeing that Director Sun, Director Ji, and his family were all there. We knew that they were there to look for you, so we decided not to join in the crowd," Zheng Yuan said to Lu Man after turning around.

"Lu Man, congratulations on winning first place! You're too cool!" Pan Xue punched her little fist in the air. "That time when you were on stage together with Ni Xue and the rest, you definitely didn't see Ni Xue's expression, right?"

Once Pan Xue mentioned it, Han Leilei couldn't hold back and burst into laughter. She even covered her mouth, afraid that she would laugh too loudly.

"I indeed didn't see it, but thinking about it, I know that she wouldn't be feeling great. How was it, was it really exaggerated?" Lu Man looked at the three girls' expression. She didn't know exactly how furious Ni Xue was back then.

"Leilei, show her the picture!" Pan Xue waved her hand, behaving extremely demandingly.

Han Leilei: "…"

Look at her, she thinks she's so amazing, huh!

Han Leilei didn't want to stoop to her level and brushed it aside. She took out her phone and looked for the picture taken on the day of the finals.

"We sat pretty near the back, but the picture is zoomed in, so it's pretty clear," Han Leilei said and passed the phone over to Lu Man.

Lu Man took it over and looked. She couldn't help but laugh too.

"Looks like she was so furious she lost her mind, she couldn't hold back at all on stage." Lu Man raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Ni Xue wouldn't even be able to hold back her anger.

In the picture, Ni Xue was still standing on stage.

Based on the position the host was standing on, it looked like the picture was taken when the host was asking the judges their reasons for giving Lu Man such high scores.

Therefore, the host was standing by Lu Man's side.

Meanwhile, Ni Xue was standing on the other side of the host.

Back then, the cameraman's focus was all on Lu Man's body. Ni Xue probably thought that she wouldn't be caught on camera either and dared to show her emotions.

In the picture, Ni Xue was so angry her entire face was scrunched up tightly. She was pursing her lips so tightly, almost into a line.

Even her chin was all crooked because of her anger.

It really was… pretty ugly.

Many people in the classroom were secretly observing Lu Man too. Some were surprised while some were curious.

No one would have thought that the winner of the Chinese Arts Championships would actually come from their class.

Many of them went to watch the competition. They had to admit that Lu Man did perform really well; they couldn't help but agree to her winning.

Those who used to think that Lu Man's success was all dependent on her luck all genuinely accepted her skills after watching her performance.

But there were also a significant number of people who couldn't get tickets or completely didn't want to buy tickets at all and had planned to watch it once it was broadcasted on Xing Ke Station.

As it would only be broadcasted after the recording, they didn't allow the audience to use their phones to make recordings of the contestants' performances.

There were security officers on-site, patrolling, and once they caught anyone recording, they would ask them to leave.

Therefore, until now, there still wasn't any content about the performance leaked online.

Hence, those who didn't get tickets still had their reservations about Lu Man's performance.

They heard from many of the students who went to watch the finals about how amazing Lu Man's performance was, but most of them couldn't believe it.

They thought that they were just exaggerating.

"Please, how could it be as great as you say it is? Perhaps it was not bad, but it definitely wouldn't be as good as you said it is."
