   "How about I show you a magic trick?" Under the silvery-blue moonlight, the boy's clear, cool voice drew everyone's attention. Seeing that he had captured their attention, Qi Lingyang breathed a sigh of relief. Good, he wasn't crying! At this moment, he was very glad that he had prepared two contingency plans. Hmm… probably two contingency plans. Under the silvery-blue moonlight, the black-haired, black-eyed boy was bathed in a glow. He raised his hand, and everyone's attention involuntarily fell on his slender, well-defined hands. Qi Lingyang's hands were beautiful; they were the kind of hands that, when exerting force, would reveal faint blue-green veins. Despite still being affected by their previous emotions, they had to admit that Qi Lingyang's hands were indeed beautiful, and everyone stared intently. His right hand began to move, gently drawing a circle in the air. The shadow of his knuckles seemed to fall on their hearts, and everyone waited for his next magic trick. Would he draw a regular heart shape? Or would he make cute ram horns? Or perhaps, something was hidden in his sleeve? What could it be? Everyone was curious, but none of them were impatient; instead, they quietly awaited the boy's magic trick. Then—they saw Qi Lingyang's left hand, hidden behind his back, produce a bouquet of blooming sunflowers. A bouquet of warm sunflowers, even in the cool sunlight, generously displayed their brilliance, shimmering with life-giving green and gold. Suddenly, it entered everyone's field of vision. But, it wasn't over yet. As all the sunflowers tightly held onto the blooming sunflower, Qi Lingyang's right hand silently and quickly flipped, and when the sunflowers looked over again, a banner appeared in his right hand. It was a banner they were very familiar with. In fact, they still had such banners in their hands. Everyone was somewhat surprised, nervously glancing quickly at the banners in each other's hands, then at the banner in Qi Lingyang's hand. Theirs was—Qi Lingyang. And Qi Lingyang's was—Sunflower. And, below the three words "Sunflower," there was a line of small words. —The best fan in the world, 1108! This is real magic! Nobody knows when he learned it! And nobody knows how he even made that banner. Before everyone could even process this sudden turn of events, Qi Lingyang looked at them gently with his clear and pure eyes: "The magic trick is over, so don't be sad, okay?" The black-haired boy was sincere and gentle. Perhaps feeling that this was too simplistic, he continued, "I yearn to win, but I don't hate losing either. I even enjoy the feeling of falling behind and then giving it my all to catch up." "Of course, most importantly, it's my honor to win first place with you all." "So, don't be sad, and don't cry." As Qi Lingyang spoke, his eyes crinkled into a smile: "I'm so happy to have won first place with you all."
