The Arrogant Tattoo Artist
“Woahhhh! ”
“Clap, ”clap" "clap"
Loud cheers could be heard everywhere as thousands of people were shouting loudly below the stage. Today is the unveiling of the results of last week’s tattoo competition. At this time, the emcee, who was standing with a broad smile on his face, started to speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen, especially the world organization of tattoo artists and to our dear guests, please help me welcome our two finalists! Andrew Gilbuena and Wu Chengyu!”
The stage burst with sparks and smoke sprayed everywhere together with the entrance of two people. The crowd burst into cheers and whistles when seeing the two stars of the day. The emcee nodded in satisfaction and continued by introducing the main characters.
“Everyone! I present to you the two survivors of our Dream star tattoo artist competition. To my right is the famous tattoo artist from Senbu. He had won six competitions straight and this would be his seventh competition. He is the burdado of Senbu, introducing Andrew Gilbuena! While on my left, the young prodigy who consumes his opponents and is known to be the new generation's tattoo artist's genius. He won ten competitions despite his young age and is famous for his handsome appearance. Ladies and gentlemen, born of a Filipina mother and of a Chinese foreigner. The handsome boy of Danbao! Wu Chengyu!”
The female audience burst into loud cheers and flexed their tattoos towards Wu Chengyu while shouting his name.
“Ahhhh”
“We love you Wu Chengyu!”
The Chengyu fans club wildly cheered. They could be said to be girl maniacs due to their intense adoration for Wu Chengyu. Aside from Wu Chengyu’s talent, many women at his age fell in love and were charmed by his handsome face. Compared to other teenage boys, Wu Chengyu could be ranked second in terms of handsomeness and popularity. So whenever he has competitions and events, many Chenyu maniacs would attend and push themselves towards him.
There was even a time when Wu Chengyu hosted a victory party and a crazy young woman pounced on him, then kissed him all over the face. Though the woman was dragged out by the security guards, some rumors said that she was sent to Wu Chengyu’s apartment and then, after the party, she and Wu Chengyu had a good night together.
Wu Chengyu’s charm and talent made the young ladies tremble between his legs as they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to him. Of course, this popularity of Wu Chengyu had also aroused the hatred of some jealous young artist. It could be said that almost half of his friends harbor deep hatred towards him despite their happy smiles when facing him.
“Hmmp! A crowd of wh*res.” Andrew Gilbuena, Wu Chengyu’s opponent, snorted in disdain after seeing Wu Chengyu’s fans shouting like crazy.
Wu Chengyu displayed a smile and waved his hand to his loyal supporters. He was proud of himself, and he felt even more confident when facing the crowd of cheers. He was intoxicated by the sounds of praise and confession. At the height of his career, Wu Chengyu also received invitations from different industries. He even once accepted a job from a movie industry in the U.S. and he filmed his first movie within a span of 8 months.
He had also done various activities and movie filming, resulting in his fame skyrocketing. Wu Chengyu gave a disdainful smirk to his opponent and secretly gave a thumbs down. Andrew Gilbuena grewi angry upon seeing Wu Chengyu’s open disdain and mockery. Since he was a patient guy, Andrew took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment, then lowered his head. Deep in his heart, he really wanted to move closer and punch Wu Chengyu in the face.
The anger he refuses right now is unimaginable, and he is rearing to start a fight if the other party refuse to back down despite his consideration. While the emcee was waiting for the judges to finish reevaluating the scores, Wu Chengyu continued to arouse the crowds' cheers.
He glanced at Andrew and displayed a victorious smile. However, when he saw the other party’s lack of response, Wu Chengyu got bored and moved closer to his opponent.
He pretended to be virtuous and patted Andrew’s shoulder, saying,
“Are you alright? You seem pale.”
Since Andrew’s head was lowered and the crowd's cheers were too loud, he did not notice Wu Chengyu coming over. Startled by the sudden pat on his shoulder, he heard Wu Chengyu’s arrogant voice. Andrew’s brows creased together as he turned around to face Wu Chengyu. “What do you want!?,” Andrew asked in an irritated voice. “Relax…buddy. Don’t be like that, or you’ll become uglier if you don’t control your temper.” Wu Chengyu said in a mocking tone, and then laughed while shaking Andrew’s shoulder. Andrew cast a sidelong glance at his shoulder and shook off Wu Chengyu’s hand. He knew Wu Chengyu very well ever since he learned the young prodigy’s achievements and, once, they even became friends due to their frequent meetings. But when he saw Wu Chengyu’s nasty attitude and bad conduct, he started to avoid him and deemed him a bad influence. After that, they rarely had dealings with each other. It was only because of this competition that they were able to converse, albeit with tension. Wu Chengyu shook his head and said, “It’s been a long time since we got to have a conversation like this my dear buddy.”
“A conversation like this, huh?” Andrew crossed his arms and displayed a cold look.
He was like a huge boulder difficult to budge. Seeing this, Wu Chengyu slightly smiled and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
“I heard that you already have a girlfriend?”
“What of it?” Andrew raised his brows.
“Someone told me that she is very beautiful. Would you be willing to give her to me? I really like beautiful women, especially those that are sexy and bouncy.” Wu Chengyu said this, was almost salivating and had a lustful gleam in his eyes. On the contrary, Andrew had goosebumps and his anger was rising. His body shuddered because of the intense anger, and he felt that his reasoning was slipping away. Clenching his two hands into fists, he was about to step closer towards Wu Chengyu, ready to punch him, when suddenly, the emcee started to once again address the crowd. Andrew’s rising arm was quickly put down, and he immediately turned around to face the audience. Wu Chengyu chuckled and calmly stepped forward, standing beside Andrew.
When the emcee was livening the crowd, Wu Chengyu was proclaiming in his thoughts.
“This is to be expected. I am more talented than my opponents. This should be an easy win for me.”
As expected,
“The masterpiece of the winner will be displayed on the screen! Are you ready guys!? Let’s count together at 3… 2…. 1…. a moment of silence came then,
“Peng”.
