“Get him off the stage!” Li Haonan snorted coldly.
“Right, get him off!” Some people nodded in agreement.
“No!” Director Zhao shook his head. He understood Xiao Han and also appreciated Chen Aiguo’s ability to judge people. He was well aware of Xiao Han’s artistic capabilities. So Director Zhao was more composed and said, “Give him ink and a brush!”
“Yes!” The assistant nodded hurriedly.
It wasn’t long before the ink and brush were ready.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Han shook his head and said, “I want the biggest brush and a big bucket of ink!”
...
The crowd gasped again. What did the biggest brush look like? And why did he need a whole bucket of ink?
The assistant was in a dilemma. He stood to one side and whispered, “Mr. Xiao, our biggest brush is only the size of a fist. You see... ”
“Go, bring that mop over here!” Xiao Han pointed at a mop not far away.
The assistant paused for a moment, then scurried over to fetch the round-headed mop and handed it to Xiao Han. Xiao Han took the mop and said, “Go get a bucket and fill it with ink!”
“Alrighty!” The assistant, upon hearing this and relieved that the troublesome issue of finding a big enough brush had been solved, was now only left with sorting out the ink. Therefore, the assistant seemed somewhat excited as he hurried backstage. Not long after, half a bucket of ink was carried up.
Xiao Han glanced at it, grabbed the handle of the mop with his right hand, and swung the mop head into the ink.
Swish...
Suddenly, Xiao Han picked up the mop with one hand and flung the cloth part against the backdrop.
Everyone below the stage was extremely surprised. They had no idea what Xiao Han was doing. They only saw him continuously smearing something on the backdrop with the mop, completely clueless about his actions. All they knew was that Xiao Han seemed to be painting, but there were no visible signs of a painting.
The crowd was very puzzled and surprised.
The backdrop was large, and whether he was painting or just smearing, it required a lot of strength. So as Xiao Han moved around on stage, sweat was relentlessly shed. Let alone wielding a gigantic mop as a brush, even painting continuously with a regular brush required tremendous physical effort. Xiao Han clenched his teeth, persistently enduring. The mop in his hand felt heavy, and with such a large canvas, even a great painter would need immense patience and stamina for an artwork that stood three to four meters tall and more than ten meters long.
Five minutes... ten minutes... half an hour passed.
Yet on stage, the painter continued to sweat profusely, waving the mop in his hand, frantically painting.
Finally, after half an hour, Xiao Han turned around and tossed the mop back into the ink. Panting, he looked at everyone and then asked, “Do you all think I’m done?”
“Uh...” The crowd was taken aback.
“I... sort of,” Xiao Han quickly nodded and asked, “Why did she leave?”
“It seems she wasn’t feeling well!” said Jiang Xiaoqing with a smile. “Do you need her for something?”
“It’s nothing,” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “I just have some things I want to talk to her about.”
“Oh!” Jiang Xiaoqing heard this, pursed her lips, and smiled, “You couldn’t have fallen for her, could you?”
Xiao Han froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, don’t ruin the girl’s reputation.”
“Yes, yes, less concerned about yourself and more about others,” Jiang Xiaoqing laughed.
Xiao Han sat down disappointed in the rest area. Jiang Xiaoqing took a seat beside him. She smiled at Xiao Han and then said, “You did really well today. You will surely be the highlight at this year’s event, and you’re bound to win the award for best performance.”
“Haha...” Xiao Han couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this, then said, “I hope so. But, I don’t have much thought about becoming the best performance. I was just here to fill in a spot for your Director Zhao. So, don’t bother giving me any award.”
“That can’t be done!” Jiang Xiaoqing shook her head quickly and then said, “No matter what, your performance is the best in my heart. I believe you will definitely win the audience’s votes. I’m sure you’ll be the most popular act today!”
“Thank you!” Xiao Han closed his eyes and lay down to rest.
Jiang Xiaoqing watched Xiao Han, smiling faintly. Suddenly, she felt as though Xiao Han was like a younger brother to her. Though she didn’t have a brother, the maternal glow inside a woman’s heart shone through at that moment. She watched Xiao Han intently; he was reclining on the sofa, looking very tired. His handsome face, his pale cheeks, his beautiful eyes tightly closed, his eyelashes slightly curled, giving him a remarkably handsome look. The determined face, with arched eyebrows and sparkling eyes, red lips, and white teeth. His carefree, tousled hair made him all the more endearing.
Jiang Xiaoqing shuddered all over. She quickly got up and left the rest area swiftly.
The afternoon recording continued for several hours. Xiao Han was not a big shot or a special hire, so he had no performance fee. He just picked up a boxed lunch for the afternoon. However, Xiao Han didn’t have much interest in money. How much could the TV station give him? Xiao Han didn’t even think about it. He felt that the greatest gain today was meeting Liu Yiyi. But what made him most upset was that Liu Yiyi had left without waiting for him to finish; he didn’t know if she had seen his painting, nor if she had understood his feelings.
............
In the TV station’s parking lot, a black Audi car quickly left.
“Miss, hang in there!” The man in black was very nervous.
In the backseat of the Audi, Liu Yiyi lay in agony, clutching her chest, her body shaking constantly. Coughing, high fever... In that moment, she felt her body was almost unable to hold up. Blood continually flowed from her nose. Liu Yiyi tried to cover her nose with her hand, but the blood still streamed out.
“Uncle Liu, am I... am I going to die?” Liu Yiyi’s body trembled.
“No, no!” The man in black quickly shook his head and said, “You won’t, you definitely won’t. I’ll take you to the hospital right now!”
