Little Terrified Bun

Little Terrified Bun Chapter 84

There were a total of three contestants; aside from Wei Jing, the other two were both 9th grade students.

One was the President of the student council, who was the upperclassman who Wei Jing just greeted.
She had large eyes, white skin, and straight, long hair.
Not only did she have a good looking appearance, she was also skilled in all sorts of things.
She was publicly recognized by the school as a goddess.
Many boys secretly adored her.

Such as…chubby little Ye from their neighboring school.

The other contestant was Le Chen, who attended the teen art competition last year and got third place.
He heard that Le Chen had learned from a professional art master since he was young, so his drawing skills were incredible, but he had a proud personality.

Reasonable, he’s a genius afterall!

Wei Jing silently moved a little to the side, his originally brightly shining cat eyes drooping dejectedly, his dark and curly eyelashes looking like tiny fans, making one compelled to touch them.
The goddess of the school covered her nose with her hands secretly; damnnn! This stunning appearance really has a huge impact on someone who’s a face con.

Le Chen originally felt some type of way about the “new” junior; why even bother to compete if you don’t have the skills! Not only did he take up a spot, it would make their school look bad if he was knocked out in the first round.

But looking at the child’s pitiful face.
His breathing became irregular.
What the heck! Do you know that being cute is also a violation? He thought.

The Wei Jing who did nothing except stand there: …

“Enough, why are you guys still standing? Just give the drawing to the teacher.” As a good upperclassman, Le Chen thought that he should learn how to care for his classmates.
He patted the teenager’s shoulder and comforted, “Don’t be scared, friendship comes before competition.
I won’t blame you even if you are eliminated in the first round.”

Le Chen thought that his words were well rounded, how perfect!

But it just so happened that Le Chen grew a harsh looking face – long eyebrows, deep eye socket, thin lip, and western looking facial features.
Along with his sincere (distorted) smile, he looked like a poisonous snake with his fangs, ready to strike.

Wei Jing was so scared that he shivered and consciously swallowed his saliva.
“Senior, no worries, I will try my best.” He replied with a smile that looked worse than a crying face.

Big brother! He seems to have been threatened, how should he handle this?

Le Chen, “…” Something seems wrong?

Goddess senior, “…” Where is your pride? He he!

“I’m relieved upon seeing that you guys are so caring of each other.” The teacher in charge of the class exclaimed with a mother-like smile on her face.
“Wei Jing, give me your drawing!”

“Ok.” Wei Jing’s fingers were shaking; his heart was beating really fast and his face tensed up.
Especially when the teacher took off the cover of the drawing, he wished he could cover everyone’s eyes.

“You…you drew this?” The teacher’s tone was filled with confusion and surprise.

“Yes! But my drawing isn’t that good, do you want to switch to someone else…” Wei Jing said timidly and quietly.
Internally, he felt depressed.
This is one of his best drawings, even if it can’t compete with the seniors, it should be at least ok.

But…why was the teacher looking like that? Was it really…this bad?

“Oh my god, you say this is not good?” The teacher lifted up the drawing excitedly.
“Your drawing is fantastic, as if it…came from an expert.” The teacher became speechless, she only chose Wei Jing to fulfill the headcount requirement, but never thought that he would draw even better than the other two.

It made sense for fourteen/fifteen year old teenagers to draw simple pastel paintings, such as fruits and sculptures…because complicated things would make their drawing look ‘dirty’; if the tone is not handled well, the drawing would be lacking layers.

But Wei Jing’s drawing – the composition was complete, from the sunshine seeping in through the transparent window, to the arrangement of the furniture.
All details were handled well.

The teacher calmed down after the excitement and asked rationally, “You drew this drawing yourself.
Right?”

Her suspicion didn’t come from nowhere.
The whole school knows that Wei Jing came from a wealthy family, and they didn’t see Wei Jing draw before their own eyes, so it might be possible if his family spent the money willingly to buy the drawing to make the child happy.

“I drew it last night.” Upon seeing the teacher wasn’t faking her expression, Wei Jing peeked at the other two people’s drawings.

One is a cute kitten, and the other is a prairie.

Wei Jing gave the seniors a strange glance afterwards.
This…is what they called good work??

Wei Jing suddenly felt like he was cheated.

Actually, Wei Jing shouldn’t be blamed for this embarrassing incident.
God knows Xu Jiaming trained Wei Jing using a master’s standard.
Especially after Wei Jing showed his stunning drawing talent, Xu Jiaming became even stricter with him.

To prevent the child from becoming proud, he would always criticize Wei Jing’s drawing harshly every class, mumbling that he drew better than him when he was in elementary.
“With your standard, do you think you’re still in first grade? Remember you’re twelve, not two…”

As a result, Wei Jing, who already had low self esteem and lacked self-confidence, ended up believing that he was indeed useless and couldn’t do anything.

Wei Jing’s low self esteem already started to show when he was very young.

The initial reason was because everyone who lived in the same district as him isolated him because he didn’t have a father.
Just as the situation got slightly better, his mother passed away and his father didn’t care about him.
Living in Wei residence, he had an outstanding big brother, and a group of servants who always looked at him with gazes that were mixed with hate and pity.

Wei Jing became more and more unconfident.

That was why when Xu Jiahui fought with the criminals alone, he was fully convinced that he was a useless person.
