Jing Chu felt so ashamed that he wished the earth would open and swallow him up.
These books had been here in the shop from the day he arrived. He had been reading these books since he was young, and yet he could only remember the first two runes and ended up losing to Lu Mingshu, who only stepped into this shop for the first time today.
The first segment gave the host rune carver an unfair advantage and yet he still lost. That showed that he wasn't good enough.
The chief nodded, "Okay, the winner of the first round is Miss Lu!"
"Wow! Miss Lu, you're amazing!" one of the spectators shouted out. She was so amazed by Lu Mingshu that she actually forgot about Jing Chu's presence for a moment. After realizing, she smiled awkwardly at Jing Chu, "Chu, it's not that you're bad, it's just…"
Watching how Miss Lu competed, she could feel the difficulty and was amazed by her.
Jing Chu plastered a smile on his face, "It's alright, Aunty Zheng."
