In the bewildered and astonished gazes of the audience, Chi Gui walked onto the stage unhurriedly, took the certificate representing "first place" honor from the presenter, and said calmly and politely, "Thank you."
The presenter couldn't help but give Chi Gui an extra glance.
This girl had a unique aura; merely standing beside her seemed to infect others, gradually calming their emotions from excitement to tranquility.
The presenter smiled and gave Chi Gui a hug, saying sincerely, "Congratulations. Is there anything you'd like to say to everyone?"
Below the stage.
Xue Mingqing and Shi Liyun watched as Chi Gui gracefully and composedly walked up to receive the award, their faces turning unsightly.
Especially Shi Liyun, thinking back to what she had just said to Chi Gui, felt as if her face had been slapped several times, burning painfully.
"Gotta try even harder next year?!"
"Wish you could go up and feel it too?"
