"That's right, I really don't think there's anything wrong with that! You totally deserve it! And to be honest, you've done an excellent job!"
"Not only did you receive the reward for your own efforts, you also selflessly donated part of it." Xiao Miaomiao said sincerely, and she really thought so in her heart.
You know, the decision to donate part of the money was made by Jin Huan and Leng Yichen together. Even if it was just for the sake of inner peace, they also hoped that Yichen would be rewarded for it.
"You see, everything you have done far exceeds what many people have done."
Xiao Miaomiao comforted the other party softly, "This is mainly due to your personal ability!"
"After all, only if you have excellent painting skills can you create such an excellent work. Otherwise, how could you stand out from so many contestants and win a place? Not to mention getting this generous reward!"
At this point, Xiao Miaomiao paused for a moment, then continued, "Another very important point is the value of your painting itself."
"Each of your paintings is so exquisite and unique, and they fully deserve these honors and awards."
"In fact, the fundamental reason why most famous painters are so famous is that the paintings they create have extremely high artistic and ornamental value."
"By the way, I wonder if you still remember teacher Luo Ran?" Xiao Miaomiao suddenly changed the topic and mentioned someone else.
"He became famous earlier than me! He has just started school and he is already quite famous. Do you know why?"
Leng Yichen shook his head gently and said slowly: "I don't know."
However, there is no doubt that his painting skills are superb.
Leng Yichen had once had the honor of witnessing his paintings, which contained an extremely restrained and profound beauty.
Xiao Miaomiao turned her head slightly, her eyes cast towards Leng Yichen, and continued, "He once sold a painting, and the girls who were in love with him started a fierce competition for it."
"This buying frenzy later even caused a huge sensation, which can be said to be a true reflection of the old saying 'the highest bidder wins'."
"And we have to admit that his paintings are indeed unique and worthy of everyone's enthusiastic pursuit. Especially the work titled "Darkness and Love", which made him famous overnight and became well-known."
Speaking of this, Xiao Miaomiao's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence, as if she had returned to that dramatic moment.
"But at that time, he was questioned by all sides. Especially those classmates who were at odds with him, accused him of deliberately hyping up the issue, with the sole purpose of greed for money and fame."
"They wantonly slandered him and tried to tarnish his hard-earned reputation."
Xiao Miaomiao frowned slightly, as if she still found it hard to believe what had happened.
"But who would have thought that Luo Ran, who had always been reserved and gentle, would not even flinch in the face of these groundless accusations."
"He bravely spoke out and responded to those malicious attacks with sharp words."
"He mercilessly questioned those who appeared to be aloof and proud but actually longed for their paintings to be recognized. He refuted them thoroughly and finally they had to cover their faces and leave in shame." It was from that moment that she truly saw a different Luo Ran.
Xiao Miaomiao remembered what he said at the beginning, if the other party has the ability, don't move his lousy paintings to the competition track, let alone sell them! Just let them stay there for their own enjoyment, neither for fame nor for profit.
Otherwise, others would have reasons to criticize him. But for someone like me who is only pursuing fame and fortune, how could others have the right to point fingers at me?
He then went on to say, "My paintings sell for high prices because there are people who appreciate them and want to own them! People want to buy them, and I sell them because I want to make money and because I know the value of them."
"This is a perfect situation where both parties are happy and mutually beneficial. However, just because the other party's bid is quite high, it arouses envy and jealousy in some people."
At this time, Xiao Miaomiao smiled and looked at him gently, and said softly: "However, Luo Ran doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. Even I think so."
"On the contrary, I am especially happy for Luo Ran. Just like you now, you are only six years old, but you have already won such a great award and received such a high prize money."
"I'm really proud of you!" After saying that, Xiao Miaomiao looked at the cute child in front of her with loving eyes.
Hearing this, Leng Yichen couldn't help but become curious, and quickly turned to look at Xiao Miaomiao and asked, "Then how much did this painting sell for? And where was it sold?"
Xiao Miaomiao shook her head gently, her eyes revealing a trace of regret and helplessness: "Someone has already bid as high as five million! If Luo Ran had not chosen to remove the painting from the auction, the price would definitely have risen even higher if the auction had continued."
"But when he learned about this, he had the painting taken down without hesitation."
"He once told me that the painting was priceless to him and he had no intention of selling it under any circumstances." Having said this, Xiao Miaomiao paused for a moment, as if recalling more details.
"Oh, yes! All this happened on a website dedicated to buying and selling paintings."
"As for the specific situation... I remember hearing him mention it once. He said that his cousin was short of money, so he took his paintings without his consent and sold them for money."
"But I didn't actually ask too many detailed questions about this matter." After saying this, Xiao Miaomiao smiled slightly apologetically.
At this time, Leng Yichen, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked, "Can I take a look at the painting?"
This question happened to be what Li Jingcheng was thinking. Hearing Leng Yichen asking the question first, Li Jingcheng couldn't help but nodded slightly to show his agreement, and also turned his gaze to Xiao Miaomiao.
At this moment, Li Jingcheng's heart was in turmoil, and a strong premonition came to his mind - he felt that the painting that Luo Ran regarded as a treasure and refused to sell was most likely the protagonist of the painting was Xiao Miaomiao herself.
Recalling the time when he and Xiao Miaomiao were classmates, Li Jingcheng was filled with regret.
He couldn't help but secretly blame himself: If I had known what would happen today when I was a child, I would have done everything I could to bring Xiao Miaomiao back home and raise her up!
In this way, he would not miss the opportunity to accompany Xiao Miaomiao for so many years.
Although Xiao Miaomiao will belong to him alone in the long years to come, Li Jingcheng always feels an indescribable regret when he thinks about the fact that he has never experienced her student life and failed to witness those beautiful moments of her growth.
After Xiao Miaomiao thought for a while, she skillfully operated the computer and quickly found the website that had been taken off the shelves.
Fortunately, however, some surviving photographs can still be found.
Xiao Miaomiao just clicked the mouse to quickly open the relevant web page, and turned the screen to Leng Yichen, motioning him to come and take a look.
What caught my eye was a photo of a girl's back on a campus path in the early morning.
Leng Yichen only took a glance and nodded confidently, "Teacher, isn't this you?"
It turned out that before this, Xiao Miaomiao had taken him, Dabao and others to her alma mater, and they had also strolled along this campus path full of memories.
At this moment, Leng Yichen was standing behind with Xiaobao in his arms, his eyes fixed on the photo of his back, his tone extremely firm.
However, Xiao Miaomiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this, and she quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense! This painting was actually put online for sale by Luo Ran's cousin long before he went to college."
"You know, at that time, Luo Ran and I didn't even know each other."
As she spoke, Xiao Miaomiao turned to look at Li Jingcheng, her face full of sincerity and seriousness, and continued to add: "I am telling the truth, I am definitely not lying to you. At that time, Luo Ran and I really didn't know each other, so how could he have a crush on me!"
"But to be honest, I always feel something is wrong. I suspect that he may just like me as a substitute for someone else."
"But no matter what, I really only have pure friendship between classmates for him. There is no feeling between a man and a woman at all. So, please don't take it to heart and don't be angry about it." Xiao Miaomiao said as she swallowed unconsciously.
When she thought of the series of events that followed Luo Ran's words last time, she couldn't help but shudder.
Especially that time, because of this incident, Li Jingcheng gave him a lot of trouble, and he even almost deleted Luo Ran’s WeChat out of impulse!
At this moment, Li Jingcheng suddenly stared at Xiao Miaomiao and slowly said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Miaomiao was like a frightened little rabbit, shaking her head repeatedly to deny: "No, no, no, I'm not afraid of you, but... I'm worried that I'll make you unhappy."
"What I said is true. There is nothing innocent between Luo Ran and I. Please stop being jealous, okay?" Xiao Miaomiao explained coquettishly while praying silently in her heart, hoping that Li Jingcheng would believe her and not torment her like he did last time.
Whenever she recalled the scene at that time, she felt her waist start to ache again.
At this moment, the two people who were immersed in communicating with each other did not notice that Leng Yichen, who was not far from them, was quietly taking a picture of the name of a website.
Not only that, after taking the photos, Leng Yichen quickly opened the browser, entered the URL and entered the website, carefully checking the website's sales conditions, the process of putting the works on the shelves and other related information.
