Gu Qingjiu remains calm and composed in the face of discussions because she has experienced too many discussions and has gradually developed a strong psychological endurance.
But Liu Shiya can't.
Perhaps due to family reasons, she has been stubborn and inferior since she was a child, and she has to strive to be the best in everything she does, so that she can fill the gap in her heart.
Now, the wind in the audience was starting to favor Gu Qingjiu. How could Liu Shiya not hear that the audience was already talking about him?
"Huh? You said that Miss Gu seems to be progressing faster than Miss Liu..."
"What's the use of doing it fast? It looks like you're messing around, how can it be so smooth..."
"Don't tell me, she looks like she's just pretending..."
"No way, Miss Liu, that's the normal process. You see, even she made mistakes."
"...But don't you think she made too many mistakes?"
"You can do it, come here..."
Gradually, drops of sweat began to slide down Liu Shiya's forehead.
What she wants is a perfect and overwhelming victory. Any voice of opposition that reaches her ears will be amplified tenfold and a hundredfold.
"Hmph, how could Gu Qingjiu have made more progress than me..." Fast——
She was secretly speculating in her mind, but when she glanced at it, she was stunned for a moment. She was interrupted before she could finish her thoughts.
It only took a second, but she quickly reacted and continued the work at hand, pretending to be nonchalant.
But even if she could suppress her mentality and continue, the anxiety in her heart was like a time bomb, beating wildly in her heart.
"Humph, it's just that we're at the end of our rope. It's pretty much pretending to be like that in front of everyone..."
While she comforted herself with this thought, she moved faster with her hands not to be outdone.
Gu Qingjiu didn't care what Liu Shiya and the audience thought. Speaking of which, she hadn't made incense for a long time since she came back.
Proportioning, grinding, and incense——
In the past, in a small world, she was like Gu Qingcheng, guiding a child step by step in making spices.
The little boy had short brown hair and round brown bear ears. When he looked at her, his eyes flickered...
Just like myself back then.
Referee Gu Mingxi, who was standing under the stage, unconsciously rubbed the ends of his hair with one hand and looked at Gu Qingjiu with dim eyes, as if he was remembering something.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and is the tallest and strongest among the brothers. He has short, brown hair and a strong and broad chest. The suit he wears on his body is like a tights, creating a perfect inverted triangle.
, but has a lean and thin waist. If such a perfect figure does not really appear in front of people, they would not believe that humans can have such proportions. If you get closer to him, you can still smell the faint woody aroma of him.
Some of the female photographers present were only a few steps away from Gu Mingxi. Compared with the competition on the stage, Gu Mingxi's perfect figure like a Greek sculpture god was more attractive to them, making them blush with excitement.
Gu Xizhi watched all this silently.
Only members of the Gu family who are familiar with Gu Mingxi know that cooking and making spices are just Gu Mingxi's hobbies. In the past, he... and the work he was engaged in were much more dangerous than they are now.
But now Gu Mingxi has already shown his talent.
Have you ever seen a bear?
He is tall and burly, but his whole body is furry, and he looks innocent and harmless.
Only those who are his enemies can know how dangerous this "bear" is.
His burly figure is not a vase, and his sharp claws have long been hidden under the thick bear paws.
When he smiles at others, that kind smile is just his disguise. Only those who are close to him can understand.
The reason why Gu Xi was silent was because he couldn't see that when Gu Mingxi stared at the dazzling mother on the stage, his eyes showed the same thoughts as the other brothers.
