Chapter 517: The Curtain Ends
Then, the award presentation was finally the award ceremony that everyone was looking forward to. The award presenter briefly reported the general situation of today in official language. Then, the top three were awarded in order according to the rankings. He also emphasized the true reputation of the champion Chu Xia. Everyone present was convinced and happy for him and congratulated him.
At this time, Chen Kingdom was peaceful.
The servants received the news that Chu Xia won the championship of this Star Academy and rushed to Jing Yuan without stopping to report to him. Jing Yuan was talking to the ministers in the hall to discuss the future development direction of Chen Kingdom. At this time, when Jing Yuan heard the news, he was in a good mood and could not take care of any national plans. At present, Chu Xia’s affairs were the most important. So he immediately issued an order to reward the Star Emperor.
By chance, just after the award was awarded, Erhua and others rushed to Xingyuan with Jingyuan's imperial edict.
When everyone saw this, they hurriedly knelt down and waited for the order to be received, but Chu Xia was different from others. He remained calmly and stood upright there without any disturbances. It seemed particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
So, everyone looked at Chu Xia, and everyone was very surprised, but more of it was waiting to see his good show.
All I heard was people talking about something in a low voice.
"Why is he so special? He doesn't kneel down even if he reads the imperial edict, isn't he too big, right?"
"…Who knows? I'll just wait and see the show anyway."
"Is it possible that I won the championship just now and was so proud that I was a little overwhelmed?"
The discussions were neither loud nor small, at least enough for Chu Xia to hear them.
Chu Xia heard them talking about him and glanced at them, and they didn't say anything more. The people next to him also heard it, looked at Chu Xia, and whispered to him: "You don't have to pay attention to them, they like to talk nonsense. They may not be able to change this habit."
"Yeah, I know." Chu Xia replied indifferently.
This kind of situation was common before. I thought to myself: If you have a mouth that is good, just say whatever you like. If you are worried about other people’s fingers all day long, you will not be exhausted.
After all, people are popular and have many troubles, and big trees attract wind. If you are a little special with others, people's jealousy and insults will come.
So he pretended not to hear it, looked disapproving, staring at Erhua seriously, looking forward to what purpose he would give.
Erhua glanced at them, but he couldn't say anything. He shook his mind and said, "Cough cough", cleared his throat and diverted everyone's attention, and then heard a crisp and nice voice: "In the heavenly way, the emperor ordered: Xingdi Academy, today's competition has ended perfectly, and the championship has won. To thank Xingdi Academy for its care for Chenhou, he specially rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of platinum, several pieces of silk, silk and satin, several strings of pearls, and several boxes of strange and fragrant fruits..."
"Wow, there are so many rewards, and there are delicious foods. Chen Guo is so generous!"
Some people focus on the rewards, but some people are extremely sensitive to the word "Chenhou" and begin to exert their infinite imagination. Who is the sacred place of this "Chenhou"?
As soon as the voice fell, the discussion echoed in the hall.
"Chen Hou? Did I hear it wrong?" People asked with capital letters.
"Who is Chen Hou? Do you know? Is it in our Xingdi Academy?" I heard someone speculation.
“…”.
Everyone started to feel restless. After looking at it, they found that everyone had the same expression, as if they were outside the situation, they knew nothing about the facts, and they were begging for the truth with their faces.
They thought about the possible object in the shortest time, but they felt that it was impossible. Suddenly, they heard someone say, "You said, could it be Chu Xia?", "No, I don't think it's him." Because in their eyes, they always felt that Erhua and Chu Xia had a good relationship like sisters, and they thought that he could not be Chen Hou, so there was no such a good relationship between master and servant. So they gave up the idea that he was Chen Hou.
People always like to use common common sense to infer the "facts" they prefer. But... not all relationships can be inferred according to common sense. For example, Chu Xia and Erhua.
During the discussion, Erhua slowly walked towards Chu Xia, bowed naturally, and looked at Chu Xia with a meaningful look.
"Queen".
This is what solved everyone's questions. Erhua knew that Chu Xia didn't like to let them all know his identity, but after all, it was an imperial edict, and he couldn't control it.
Chu Xia was a little confused at first. What was this operation? I thought about it and realized that Jing Yuan wanted to take this opportunity to deliberately let everyone in Xingdi Academy know his identity.
"It's really ulterior motive," Chu Xia said to Erhua with resentment.
"Hahaha, how about it? Are you scared?" Erhua said in a slight joking tone. Chu Xia said that she was helpless with them. But now that things have come to this, she had to accept his sudden arrangement.
"Yes, I didn't expect that you would bring me such a big surprise this time."
Everyone present was even more surprised to hear this and could not believe their ears.
"It's all our fault that we have no eyes. Queen. I hope you have a lot of them, so don't bother with us." They quickly explained the excessive words they just said.
"Yes, we don't know Mount Tai, but don't bother with us, it will ruin your mood." He was so nervous that he spoke intermittently...
"It doesn't matter, we are all from the same academy. After being together for so long, I will still care about you so much," Chu Xia said mischievously.
Seeing that Chu Xia did not take the words hurt him to heart, they were relieved.
Some of them played well together and said, "Hmph, it's really not interesting enough. I've been hiding for so long."
Chu Xia smiled awkwardly: "I didn't mean it either", and said embarrassedly.
Although I was blaming him, I was more of a blessing to them. True friendship is not that complicated. If you don’t say it, I understand your difficulties. If you say it, I sincerely bless you.
Chu Xia, who has always liked to be low-key and high-profile, suddenly felt like he was being held by stars. He didn't want to be specialized in the academy. If someone knew his identity, he would have more eyes staring at him and always felt uncomfortable, but since things have come to this point, that's it.
Seeing that what they said was almost done, Erhua pulled Chu Xia aside and said mysteriously: "Actually, I have another task today."
"What mission?" Chu Xia opened her eyes wide in curiosity.
"What else can it be? Isn't someone who misses you and is almost gone as if he is sick?" He still raised his eyebrows while speaking.
"You..." Chu Xia blushed in an instant and didn't say anything.
"But... I still haven't finished dealing with anything."
"What's the matter?" The voice was slightly higher, attracting the attention of the people next to him.
The person next to him quickly agreed, "If you have anything, leave it to us for your treatment. You can feel at ease and let him go back."
Chu Xia felt a little embarrassed. Although he had expected that if the people in Xingyuan knew his identity, others would definitely be polite to him, he did not like this feeling.
The issue of identity can easily create a sense of distance from the relationship between people. Erhua quickly smiled and continued to instill: "Look, don't worry about it, hurry up and clean up and follow me with peace of mind. Don't you want to see that him?"
"..." Chu Xia also convinced him and stopped arguing with him. He also wanted to go back, and there were indeed people he wanted to meet very much.
Night falls and cold wind blows into the hall.
It was getting late to see that you were looking at it, and reminded Chu Xia: "Queen, it's time for us to leave."
Chu Xia said: "Well, okay, I understand."
However, before leaving, I still have to say hello to my classmates, Mo Lingling and others before leaving.
Things like tacit understanding are always hard to explain.
At this time, when the classmates and Mo Lingling in Class F heard that Chu Xia was leaving, they hurried to see him off, especially Mo Lingling. When they heard the news, they quickly put down the important things they had.
"Sorry, I still have something to do. Let's talk about it next time." Before he finished speaking, there was no one. He was afraid that he would miss the opportunity to see Chu Xia. He rushed over with great strides along the way, and most of the people in Class F were left by him for a long distance.
Fortunately, I finally caught up and showed a happy smile.
I saw a thin body rushing towards me, and the small body seemed to store huge energy.
Mo Lingling hugged Chu Xia excitedly. Chu Xia staggered and almost stood firm. At this time, he put his arm on Chu Xia's shoulder, patted him on the back with tears in his eyes and said, "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you. I knew you could do it, I knew that the champion must be you, but... I delayed something and couldn't come to see your award ceremony."
"It's okay." As he said that, he reached out to help him gently wipe away his tears. Chu Xia knew in his heart that it was really not easy for a person to meet someone who treated him sincerely. When he met, he had to cherish it. Chu Xia didn't plan to cry at first, but seeing him like this, his eyes became wet.
"You're leaving now, are you?"
"Well, I'm leaving now. Before I left, I was just thinking about seeing you, so you came." Chu Xia said with a smile.
"I still don't want you to leave." Mo Lingling said in an instant with pitiful eyes.
"I'm not coming back, don't make it so sad. I didn't want to cry. I'll have my eyes swollen after you do this. I'm not pretty anymore. How do you want me to go back to meet people?" Chu Xia said in an active atmosphere.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it."
When Mo Lingling heard such a beautiful Chu Xia, she was so angry and funny. She couldn't help but smile. Seeing Mo Lingling smile, Chu Xia could leave with confidence.
Mo Lingling calmed down her emotions. She told him to take good care of herself when she went back, to keep in touch, and to come back more often when she had time.
Everyone knows that there is no banquet that will never end, but when it is time to part, all the principles are completely forgotten.
The song will eventually disperse.
