Chapter 364 - One person is Enough! (2/2)

”Haha, since it's a compet.i.tion, what's there to be embarra.s.sed about?” Master Zhou did not mind and carried on laughing while stroking his beard. As he looked as Master Zhou's piece of work, his eyes seemed to treat it as his very own. As an elder, his skin was thicker, so he did not feel embarra.s.sed at all.

What are you guys doing?

Zhang Ye, who was eating melon seeds on the side, could not sit idle any longer. He had heard all that had been previously said. However, he did not say a word. He had previously not planned on joining as he was not someone from this circle. He was also not interested in such stuff. You guys can turn rowdy having fun or competing for the auspicious item, but what has that got to do with me? When he saw the compet.i.tion line up, Zhang Ye could not continue spectating. F**k, you bunch of calligraphers! Are bullying my Old Wu? How can you feel justified and a.s.sured?  Do you even want any face!?

President Wu doesn't have anyone?

Go f**k yourself! There's this bro!

Zhang Ye immediately stood up and walked leisurely to stand behind Wu Zeqing. While doing so, he held the melon seeds in his left hand, while he munched on them with his right hand. He then sat on the chair behind her and continued to munch on his melon seeds. He did not say a word, but his att.i.tude was very clear.

Wu Zeqing smiled as she looked at him, ”Can you?”

Zhang Ye said confidently, ”Please take away the 'you'.”

”Hur Hur.” Wu Zeqing smiled faintly and said, ”Alright!” Saying that, she also sat down and drank a cup of tea.

Su Na was flabbergasted. Teacher Zhang was up? Didn't he not know calligraphy? She had an impression of Zhang Ye's calligraphy. In the Beijing Couplet Compet.i.tion video, the calligraphy Zhang Ye wrote to match the couplets did not look ugly, but that was all to it. It could not be said to be artistic. It was not even considered calligraphy. Only average people would think his words were up to standard, so what could he do?

Wu Zeqing finally had a teammate.

Everyone looked curiously at this sungla.s.ses-wearing young man.

”Who is he?”

”What's he doing there?”

”Why is he joining in the bustle? Does he even know calligraphy?”

”I've never seen him. The Calligraphy a.s.sociation doesn't have such a member, right?”

”Definitely not. I've met all the members before. I know even those calligraphers who have a bit of fame. Not only that, there's no calligrapher this young!”

”But at least there's someone.”

”That's true. At least it wouldn't cause anyone to lose face.”

Master Zhou looked at everyone and frowned. ”No one else?”

There were many calligraphers in the backyard that had just joined the trade. They may be called calligraphers, but that was just an official t.i.tle. They were actually just apprentices. They were disciples or nephews of these famous masters. Compared to normal people, their calligraphy was an epitome that made people envious, but compared to true masters, it was not nothing. Hence, they themselves knew and did not plan on joining the compet.i.tion. They stood on the sidelines to watch the bustle. Many of them were youths below the age of thirty. They were here hoping to learn through spectating.

Master Zhou smacked his lips and felt sorry for Wu Zeqing. Hence, he asked, ”If this goes on, there's no way to hold a compet.i.tion as it is not fair at all.”

The dozens of people in Master Wei's team looked at each other.

Someone stepped forward, ”Why don't I go over?”

A man also said, ”Hur Hur, then I'll help Sis Wu.”

Master Zhou then give a satisfied nod. This was the bearing of people who dabbled in arts should have.

However, no one expected Wu Zeqing to say with a gently smile, ”Thank you for your kind thoughts, but since the teams have already been chosen, let's begin.”

Ah?

Wu Zeqing did not want the a.s.sistance of any others?

Everyone was baffled. They did not know what Wu Zeqing meant.

The birthday boy, Master Wei, also narrowed his eyes. ”Little Wu, you only have one person on your team? We can't have a compet.i.tion like that. It will be a lot less exciting.”

Wu Zeqing tugged at the qipao on her leg, straightening a bit before saying calmly, ”It's alright, Master Wei.” Saying that, Wu Zeqing sipped her tea and then placed the teacup down gently. ”Just one person is enough!”
