While some rejoiced, others despaired. With ample food and a competition with prizes to be won, most of the students were highly motivated. But there was one exception.
That person was Zhang Siyang. Last time, she had plagiarized Qiao Jin's painting and won first place in the national art competition.
This time, although it was just a school-wide competition, the theme was exactly the same as before.
She couldn't compete. She had to withdraw.
To be honest, Zhang Siyang's art—whether it was her line work or her coloring—wasn't even at an above-average level within the school.
But the last art competition had been far too important. The ranking could directly affect the overseas schools Zhang Siyang planned to apply to, which was why she had taken such a desperate risk.
Now, being asked to produce another painting of the same caliber on the same theme... she couldn't do it.
