There is a kind of opponent that deserves respect even if you lose.
That's the case with Chiba Kaoru.
Looking at Qianye Xun's tearful face, Qin Yitian couldn't help but laugh. She took the initiative to extend her hand, looked at Qianye Xun and said, "From today on, we are friends."
She spoke Japanese, and Chiba Xun could understand it clearly without the need for translation.
Qianye Xun stared at Qin Yitian with wide eyes, looking puzzled.
"Don't you want to?" Qin Yitian said. "Not everyone can be my friend."
"I do." Qianye Xun quickly stretched out her hand and held Qin Yitian's hand. "It's my honor."
Papapapa-----
Matsushima Ki was the first to applaud.
Lu Chaoge clapped, Fang Yan clapped, and the members of the Wu Ren inspection team and the teachers and students of Suzaku Middle School also applauded.
Matsushima Nori walked up to Chishima Kaoru, gently hugged her in his arms, and said, "Kaoru, you did very well. Very well. In our hearts, you did not lose. You have the courage to admit your shortcomings, which makes us happier than winning this tea-fighting competition."
"Thank you, teacher." Qianye Xun said gratefully. Her choice was recognized, and her personality was still loved and respected.
Qianye Xun was very happy that her fellow teachers did not blame or resent her.
"You're welcome. You did a great job." Matsushima Nori said with a smile. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to Chiba Kaoru, saying, "Wipe it. The Chiba Kaoru I know is not a student who likes to cry."
"Yes, teacher." Chiba Xun took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.
Matsushima Nori turned to look at Fujino Saburo and said, "Teacher Fujino, Chiba Kaoru has done his best, hasn't he?"
"Yes." Fujino Saburo said with his head down, feeling extremely frustrated. In the first tea-fighting competition, he deliberately hid the "nuclear weapon" and thought he would win for sure. Unexpectedly, Suzaku also deployed nuclear weapons. Takehito's side had at most a flying missile, while Suzaku directly threw out an atomic bomb. It was too bullying.
"So, please keep your composure, okay?" Matsushima Ji did not let Fujino Saburo go easily, and said with sharp eyes: "You have to know that you represent the pride of our Takehito and the face of the East----"
"Yes. I understand." Fujino Saburo apologized. "I was too excited."
Matsushima Ji also knew that scolding his teammates too much in front of outsiders would make people look down on him. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only hide his emotions in his heart at this time.
She walked up to Lu Chaoge and said, "In the first tea ceremony competition, Wu Ren lost. I am convinced."
"Friendship comes first, competition comes second." Lu Chaoge comforted him softly. At this time, she was too embarrassed to smile too obviously. Although she was really happy in her heart.
"Then, let's go straight to the second calligraphy competition?" Matsushima Nori said. "I hope Takehito can win the next game."
"No problem." Lu Chaoge said. "I'm looking forward to Wu Ren's performance next."
After the tea-fighting contest was over, there was no need for Qin Yitian to stay any longer.
She waved to Fang Yan and said, "Fang Yan, help me downstairs."
Fang Yan quickly ran to Qin Yitian and whispered, "There are so many people here, please give me some face-----"
"Okay." Qin Yitian was still easy to talk to. "Fang Yan, take me downstairs."
"-----Can you please say teacher at the end?"
"impossible."
"------"
Fang Yan helped Qin Yitian go downstairs. They stood at the door of the teahouse for less than two minutes before the black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked briskly and steadily in front of them.
This time, Fang Yan didn't wait for the old man to get out of the car, but rushed over and opened the back door.
Fang Yan said to Qin Yitian: "You've worked hard today, go back and have a good rest."
Qin Yitian looked at Fang Yan with a smile and said, "Fang Yan, do you want me to leave as soon as possible?"
"How is that possible?" Fang Yan looked like he was wronged. "Do you know that you are very heartless when you say such things? You are my benefactor and helped me win the tea ceremony competition. You don't know how grateful I am to you now. We in the martial arts world believe that we should repay a favor with a thousand times the gratitude. How could I possibly treat my benefactor like this?"
"Really? Then how are you going to repay me?" Qin Yitian asked leisurely.
"Haven't I already repaid you?" Fang Yan said.
"When did you ever repay me?"
"I gave you a bucket of water." Fang Yan said. He brought a bucket of Huju Mountain spring water from his grandfather's house. He didn't even drink a drop of it and gave it all to Qin Yitian. A bucket of water is enough to repay a drop of water.
Qin Yitian narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "Fang Yan, you are so cute."
"------" Fang Yan thought about it again and again, but still didn't think that this sentence was a compliment to him.
Qin Yitian stretched out his hand to Fang Yan and said, "Give me your phone."
"Why do you want my phone?" Fang Yan felt very strange. Why do all the girls he knows like to borrow his phone? Jiang Qin is like this, Yuan Lin is like this. Now even Qin Yitian is like this.
"Give it here." Qin Yitian said.
Fang Yan had no choice but to take out his cell phone from his pocket and hand it over.
Qin Yitian turned on Fang Yan's mobile phone camera, then put his head close to Fang Yan's shoulder and pressed the shutter button.
Fang Yan was startled and said, "What do you want to do? Don't think that I will be responsible for you just because you have evidence against me. I didn't do anything anyway. I have a clear conscience."
"Why are you so excited?" Qin Yitian asked curiously. She threw Fang Yan's phone back and said, "It's rare for me to wear Hanfu again, so I took two photos with you so that you can post them on Weibo to show off. What does it have to do with whether you are innocent or not?"
"So that's how it is." Fang Yan clenched his phone tightly, finally feeling relieved. Ever since those media reporters got the photos of him and Jiang Qin dancing last time, he has become a frightened bird. Whenever he sees a girl approaching him to take a photo, he worries that they are up to something.
"What do you think it is?" Qin Yitian said with disdain. "Fang Yan, put away those obscene thoughts of yours."
"-----I'm warning you, don't scold me."
"if not?"
"I will make sure you fail the Chinese exam." Fang Yan threatened.
"idiot."
"You scolded me again."
Qin Yitian sneered and got into the luxury car with her skirt lifted.
Although the old man sitting in the passenger seat did not have the chance to help Qin Yitian open the door, he still came out and stood respectfully aside.
After Qin Yitian got in the car, he helped close the rear door. Then he smiled at Fang Yan and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Fang."
"Goodbye, old man." Fang Yan said with relief. He thought, not everyone is as rude as Qin Yitian.
When the car drove away, Fang Yan still stood there and waved. He thought, it's just a tea contest, why rent such a beautiful car? How much does it cost
Fang Yan returned to the Qingfeng Pavilion box, and the second calligraphy competition was about to officially begin.
Although Qingfeng Teahouse is a teahouse, it has large desks and four treasures specially placed for some literati and scholars. As long as you are a guest in the teahouse, you can paint as much as you want.
Therefore, there is no need to find another place to hold the calligraphy competition. It can be held directly in the teahouse.
The first game started off badly, and Saburo Fujino became much more low-key.
He walked up to Fang Yan and said expressionlessly, "How do you compare?"
"Each contestant will write a piece of calligraphy, and then they will be evaluated." Fang Yan said.
Fujino Saburo sneered and said, "If one side writes Chinese characters and the other side writes Japanese characters, how can we compare the pros and cons?"
Fang Yan also laughed and said, "Asking this question makes Mr. Fujino look like an amateur. As long as the pen has strength, any word can be beautiful. Even if it is a circle, it should be more beautiful than others. Does it mean that if a person writes Chinese characters beautifully, then writing English letters will not be beautiful? It still looks good."
"It's easy to say. Calligraphy is profound and extensive. Different languages, different contents, and different calligraphy styles will naturally produce very different results." Fujino Saburo disagreed with Fang Yan's point of view and said, "We should unify the language and the content. This will make it easier to compete and determine the winner."
"Wouldn't it be better for everyone to write what they are good at? Our contestants will naturally write Chinese characters, and your representatives can also write Chinese characters. After all, didn't you start writing calligraphy by practicing Chinese characters?"
"It's ridiculous," said Fujino Saburo sarcastically. "People like you are probably the ones who sit in a well and look at the sky. You have no right to speak without investigation. Otherwise, don't speak, or you will be laughed at. My Japanese calligraphy is a unique thing. What does it have to do with your Chinese calligraphy?"
"Calligraphy originated in China and gradually spread to various countries in the Han cultural circle. The changes in calligraphy in various dynasties in China have continuously had a comprehensive and profound impact on Japanese calligraphy. It was only in the late Heian period in the East that the unique kana calligraphy of the East emerged and formed the 'Hexiang' system that is different from Chinese calligraphy. However, in my opinion, the Hexiang system is still a slight change on the basis of Chinese calligraphy. Some things can be said to be reference or plagiarism. The key is to look at the relationship between the two parties. Right?"
Fang Yan looked at Fujino Saburo and said, "If you try to please me from time to time, I can also say that you are borrowing from me. If you always talk to me in such a sarcastic manner, I will accuse you of plagiarism. I am a man with very fragile emotions, and I was just hit by someone. So, don't offend me."
"------"
Fang Yan grinned again and said, "Look, you offended me yesterday, so you lost the first tea ceremony competition, right? You deserved it." (To be continued)
