C537 Passion
Ouyang Qing'an led Xue Xue'er in. When the staff saw them, they immediately welcomed them warmly.1
"Yes, yes. This is the place to receive the award. May I know your name?"
"My name is Ouyang Qing'an."
The receptionist was a man and a woman. The man was wearing the fashionable Zhongshan attire, while the woman was wearing a simple shirt and pants. The man sat down and was in charge of receiving them. He even took out a cup of water from the table and poured two cups of water for them.
The woman was looking for names in the pile of awards, as well as the cash reward note.
"Hello, classmate. May I know your name?"
Xue Xue'er had been silent since she came in. The man thought she was Ouyang Qing'an's sister, so he did not ask her. Instead, he chose to ask Ouyang Qing'an, who was the leader.
"Hello, uncle. My name is Ouyang Qing'an."
The man gestured to the woman, and the woman started to search quickly. They had received the award certificate last night. They had memorized the name list in one night and put it back into the award certificate. It was divided into three parts: high school, middle school, and primary school.
It was more convenient to find it. After all, there were only so few first-prize winners.
"Ah, I found it, Ouyang Qing'an from senior high school department." The woman held the award certificate and walked over slowly with the cash reward note in her hand. She also sat beside the man and happened to be facing Ouyang Zhengkuan and Xue Xue'er.
The man took the certificate and looked at it carefully. He only passed it to them after confirming that it was correct.
"Student Ouyang, congratulations. You have won the provincial capital's first prize at such a young age." The man sincerely congratulated him. He also sincerely hoped that Ouyang Zhengkuan could work hard and win a better prize.
Ouyang Qing'an was not stingy with his thanks and said, "Thank you, Uncle."
"I hope Student Ouyang can also win glory for our city."
The few of them chatted and laughed, and for a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious.
The woman kept looking at Xue Xue'er, and even her eyes were unwilling to move away. She felt that Xue'er was very likable, and always wanted to talk to her. But because her brother was here, she did not dare to speak rashly.
Finally, after the man finished his business, she interrupted: "Student Ouyang, your sister is really beautiful. What's her name?"
Women were always overflowing with motherly love, especially when they met Xue'er who was fair and cute. Not only was Ouyang Qing'an stunned, even Xue Xue'er was stunned.
When Xue Xue'er recovered her senses, she smiled and said, "No, Mr Qing'an is not my biological brother. My surname is Xue, and my name is Xue'er, Xue Xue'er."
Her words gave the two of them a surprise.
What, Xue Xue'er?
The woman was shocked. She and the man looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"You are Xue Xue'er from Donglin Village? You also won the first prize of this competition?"
Although she did not know why they were so surprised, Xue Xue'er still nodded honestly as an answer.
"Sorry, sorry, I thought you were Student Ouyang's younger sister. I will go and help you get the award right now." The woman apologized as she got up to search.
The man was also very embarrassed and kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, it was our mistake."
"It's fine, it's fine. It's also because I kept following Mr Qing'an and did not speak, which caused you guys to misunderstand."
This small interlude passed just like that. When she really got the prize money, Xue Xue'er felt that the world was so beautiful.
