Chapter 1208: Seize It Forcibly

In the early morning.

Zheng Zhong Shan opened his eyes, but he was still in a daze. Then, he sat up and leaned against the bedrest. He couldn’t even remember what had happened last night.

It seemed like he had drunk a lot. However, his head didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Usually, when he drank too much, his head would feel muddled the next morning. But he didn’t understand what was going on this time. Could it be that the wine was so good that it didn’t have any negative effects on him?

“You’re awake. Have some sweet soup.” Lady Zheng carried some sweet soup over. Then, she said, “Really. You’re already so old, but you still drank so much last night.”

Zheng Zhong Shan got off the bed. As he put on his clothes, he sighed.

“Sigh, what a shame. I thought I could get Elder Lin drunk and make him create a drawing for us. I didn’t think that I would suffer a complete defeat. I didn’t get the drawing, and even all my wine has been finished by Elder Lin.”

Just as Elder Zheng sighed, two other sighs came from outside.

Yue Qiu Ju Shi and Tao Shi Gang had woken up as well. Their heads didn’t hurt, but as they thought about the previous night’s incident, they felt that it was a real shame.

“Elder Zheng, what happened in the end? Did we get the drawing?” asked Tao Shi Gang.

Elder Zheng answered, “Obviously not. All of us fell unconscious last night. How could you all get drunk?”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi retorted, “How can you blame us? Who would have known that Elder Lin could drink so much? We were just… Sigh, forget it. We’ve lost. We’ve all lost.”

Elder Zheng felt helpless. He looked at the time. It was just past 7AM. It wasn’t early, nor was it late. As he had entered his later years, his daily hours of sleep had gradually decreased. Usually, he wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore once the Sun rose.

He went into the study room.

“Ah!” A cry of shock rang out.

When Tao Shi Gang and Yue Qiu Ju Shi, who were outside, heard this, they were startled. They wondered what on earth was going on. Then, they rushed into the room to take a look. It can’t be that Elder Zheng has fallen ill because he’s too sad, can it?

However, when they reached the study room, they saw Elder Zheng standing there alone, staring at the tabletop. It seemed as if he was stunned.

When they looked over and saw the drawing on the table, they were completely flabbergasted.

“This…”

Yue Qiu Ju Shi was stunned for a moment, then he regained his senses and wanted to go and touch the artwork.

“Don’t touch it.” Elder Zheng was alarmed. He quickly stopped Yue Qiu Ju Shi and looked at them alertly. “What did we say last night? This is mine, not yours!”

Initially, both of them had promised that they were helping Elder Zheng to get a drawing. However, when they saw Lin Fan’s drawing in person, that promise completely disintegrated.

“Elder Zheng, you can’t do that. Look closely at who those four people in the drawing are. Besides Elder Lin, the other three are us, aren’t they? This is Elder Lin’s gift to us, not just you alone,” said Tao Shi Gang. With one look, he had fallen in love with the drawing. How could he just let Elder Zheng have it?

“Yeah, that’s the four of us. But Elder Lin drew it here in my home. Moreover, we already agreed yesterday. I’ll let you two choose whichever artworks you want from my study room. Go ahead.” Elder Zheng guarded the artwork. He really loved it very much.

At the same time, he sighed emotionally. He hadn’t expected that Elder Lin had known his intentions all along. Before leaving, Elder Lin had made a drawing for him.

He was beyond delighted. There was an indescribable joy in his heart.

Tao Shi Gang and Yue Qiu Ju Shi couldn’t let it go. Then, they looked at the piece of paper on the table and said, “There are words written there. It must have been left here by Elder Lin. Take a look.”

The three of them looked at the words on that piece of paper. The next moment, they were stunned.

I’ll leave the writing to you. Write your own names. As for who it’s for, you guys can slowly discuss about it.

“No, it’s mine. You guys can choose among the other artworks in the house.” The more Elder Zheng looked at it, the more he liked the artwork. How could he give it away?

Yue Qiu Ju Shi said, “Elder Zheng, give it to me. I’ll give you all of the artworks in my study room.”

Elder Zheng refused, “No. Even if you give me all your artworks, they wouldn’t be worth this one.”

The three of them debated for a long time. In the end, they still couldn’t reach a conclusion.

When Lin Fan woke up, it wasn’t early anymore. It was already 9AM.

Because of the previous day’s incident, Weibo was buzzing with activity.

It monopolized Weibo’s trending page.

Everything else was pushed aside.

Even news of celebrities’ divorces were no exception. No one else could take the headlines.

“Hey, why hasn’t Master Lin posted on Weibo since the award ceremony?”

“Yeah. Could it be that he forgot about it because he’s too excited?”

“I think that’s very likely. Perhaps Master Lin was so excited that he forgot to post on Weibo.”

“That’s too scary. Master Lin is so young. It seems that he’s still single, right? Whoever becomes Master Lin’s partner will have hit the jackpot.”

“Master Lin isn’t single. Doesn’t he have a relationship with that celebrity, Wu Huan Yue? Didn’t someone take a photo of Master Lin with three ladies?”

“^It’s not what you think.”

“I’m a fan of Wu Huan Yue. Actually, I really approve of her being with Master Lin. However, as for the photo, it wasn’t like what was reported, so don’t speak nonsense.”

Lin Fan had fans and so did Wu Huan Yue.

Usually, something like this would cause one to lose fans. However, Lin Fan’s fanbase was way too huge. Wu Huan Yue’s fanbase couldn’t compare to Lin Fan’s. Moreover, most of Wu Huan Yue’s fans were fans of Master Lin as well.

Hence, Wu Huan Yue’s fans were happy to see their idol together with Master Lin.

At that moment, Lin Fan refreshed his Weibo.

He took a photo of the reward and posted it on Weibo.

“Stay low-profile. Last night, I drank too much with some old friends. I came back home and slept until now. Today, I’m going back to Shanghai.”

When this message was posted, the netizens were all stunned.

He had just won such a big award, but he could still sleep in. If it had been anyone else, they would have taken a selfie with the award immediately.

Everyone was in awe.

Knock knock

At that moment, someone knocked on Lin Fan’s door. When he opened it, Fraud Tian and the rest were waiting outside. Then, they went out for breakfast.

Yun Xue Yao had come to Beijing to see Lin Fan receive the award. Now that he had received it, she had to have a meal with him.

She had sent the photo to her friends the previous night.

Her friends didn’t recognize who was in the photo. However, what she hadn’t expected was for her grandfather to actually give her a call.

This had surprised her. She didn’t know what was going on.

Over the phone, her grandfather was mainly asking about the old man in the photo.

Young people probably wouldn’t recognize him, but how could someone like her grandfather not recognize that old man in the photo?

If his own granddaughter knew that old man and went to his house for a meal, it represented something great.

What Yun Xue Yao didn’t know was that because of this incident, her family’s status had gradually risen.
