Chapter 787
The Ultimate Husband
Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 787 â âWhat? This dude wants to recite a poem?â
âHaha!â
âHe must have gone nuts from the exhaustion of being an on-set extra!â
At the crowdâs jeers, Jewel could not help but stomped her feet before turning back and yelled,â Donât laugh at
Darryl! Heâs very talented! I bet none of you can compete with him!â
Penny on stage smiled lightly and said, âSure. Go ahead, Little Brother but donât say I didnât warn you. The
consequences will be serious if youâre here to cause trouble.â
Darryl did not bother to reply. He saw a brush on the stage corner, walked toward it, and picked up the brush before
dipping it in ink.
âWhat are you trying to do? Put that brush down!â Penny stomped her high heels toward Darryl as she was sure
Darryl was there to cause trouble.
There was a commotion among the crowd as well. How would someone dare cause trouble at the Poetry League-
an event that was held once every three years?
Darryl smiled as he walked toward the huge stone pillar.
The nearly three-meter-tall pillar which had the words, âThe Poetry League-meeting friends through poetry!
Darryl held the brush as he waved and wrote his next poem on the stone pillar!
âWhat are you doing? Security! Someone is causing Penny yelled but then she stopped abruptly!
Someone from the crowd yelled, âThis dudeâs handwriting is great!â
Darrylâs artistic and exquisite flowy handwriting was as good as a professional calligrapher.
His family hired a calligrapher to teach Darryl when he was still in school. He had not written for a few years but
could get back the momentum and writing feelings when he picked up the brush.
The crowdâs eyes were on Darrylâs brush movement as he finally wrote the entire poem on the stone pillar.
He threw the brush aside when he finished writing the last word before walking toward Jewel. He grabbed her hand
as they turned and left.
The entire crowd was staring at the stone pillar in astonishment once Darryl left.
On the stone pillar, four stanzas were flamboyantly written.
Penny trembled as she opened her mouth slightly and read Darrylâs poem.
âOver old trees wreathed with ancient vines and flying evening crows.
âUnder a small bridge at a nearby cottage, a stream flows.
âOn an ancient road in the west wind, a lean horse goes.
âWestward the setting sun goes.
âFar from home was the heartbroken one!â
Westward the setting sun goes. Far from home was the heartbroken one!
The entire city rumbled in cheers in the blink of an eye.
It was a great poem! There was nothing like it!
The entire poem never mentioned once about autumn, but painted the scene well and felt like autumn. There was
even a hint of the autumn breeze!
The crowd was engrossed in repeatedly reading the poem while trying to relive its beauty!
Penny felt her legs went weak as she speechlessly stared at the stone pillar for a very long time.
âWhere is that little one-no, I mean Sir Darryl Darby the scholar?â Penny anxiously stomped her feet, and scanned
her surroundings but could not see Darryl.
âI think he left.â
âDarryl must be a Poetry Saint! He deserves this title!â
The entire crowd broke out into heated discussions.
Penny bit her lip as she walked down the stage in her high heels. No matter what, she had to find Darryl Darby! The
winner of this Poetry League was him for certain!
Penny was remorseful as Darryl was a gifted genius, yet she called him Little Brother.
âExcuse me, please let me pass through.â Penny blushed as she passed through the crowd in search of Darryl
throughout the city.
