"Now, please welcome this painter from the East, the first in history from her country, to win the Van Gogh Cup, to the stage to receive the award!"
Lan Xiu turned to look at a now calm Yuanya, his voice unbelievably gentle,
"I guessed right, didn't I? You won."
He seemed a bit smug, flirtily winking his right eye at her.
