Chapter 38 - The Wall of Brotherhood – 13 (2/2)
……
On the other side, when Lu Zhi Yao found Bai Xun, she squatted by the pond alone.
Lu Zhi Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He put his hands in his coat pocket and slowly walked.
“I heard you’re going to compete against Andric tomorrow?”
Bai Xun heard the faint familiar male voice and she sucked in her nose and didn’t move.
“No, I resigned.”
He paused for a moment, “Why?”
Bai Xun calmly said, “It’s too stressful and I can’t adapt to the pressure.”
“Lie.” Lu Zhi Yao stood beside her and coldly said: “You’re not such a person.”
His simple words easily broke Bai Xun’s mask. Her constant calm finally broke down. Her tears fell and she shouted: “Then what kind of person am I? Robbing someone else’s fiancé or a shameless person?”
Lu Zhi Yao watched her cry with tears on her face. He slowly squatted beside her and softly asked, “Are you?”
Bai Xun bit her teeth and shook her head with grievance.
“Then there shouldn’t be a problem.” Lu Zhi Yao lightly said, “You’ve never done it, so why are you afraid of rumors?”
Bai Xun murmured, “But she will be sad. She said she thought of me as her best friend.”
“Huang Yanran?” Lu Zhi Yao smiled more. “You’d better not believe a word she said.”
Bai Xun looked at him puzzledly, “What?”
Lu Zhi Yao didn’t say anything. He reached out his hand and took the person from the ground to the car. “Okay, I’ll take care of tomorrow’s competition for you. So, you can rest assure, there’s 12 hours to plan.”
Bai Xun glared at him, “How can you decide for me…”
Lu Zhi Yao faintly said: “At the very least, before you leave, you must prove you entered Lu with your strength, not by the back door.”
Bai Xun froze for a while, “Okay, I’ll go.”
Older brother was a great master in spiritual counseling, right? How does he enlighten me every time! How can he talk and hit the mark with a comment!
……
In the study, Bai Xun quietly drew designs. She had seen Andric’s designs which were gorgeous and dazzling, just like oil paintings. Each frame was full of beautiful colors.
Then she will go the opposite way and incorporate characteristics of Chinese ink painting. The whole theme will only use black and white, which adds the element of ancient Chinese style and charm. The whole series will be clear and beautiful.
People were used to seeing flourishing colors, and the ink will wash and purify the mind, and be more shocking.
It wasn’t until midnight that Bai Xun finished her work.
Lu Zhi Yao stood at the door. It wasn’t known how long he watched.
“All right? Hurry up and rest. You need to have enough energy to compete tomorrow.”
Bai Xun looked at the time, it was really late. She smiled and responded, “OK.”
After washing, she laid in bed, full of expectation. Not only tomorrow’s competition, but also the two Lu brothers and Qin Feng…
On the other side, Andric received an inexplicable email.
……
The next day, Bai Xun arrived in the conference room early.
Today, in addition to her and Andric, there were colleagues from the design department who served as public judges. Some designers look at her with curiosity and unpredictable expectations.
Perhaps Lu Zhi Yao was right, she had absolute strength and doesn’t need to fear rumors.
When Lu Zhi Yuan and Qin Feng arrived, Bai Xun looked at Qin Feng with surprise. “Is it you? You are…Qin Feng, President Qin?”
She thought of the handkerchief that she said she would give back to him but was embarrassed to take it out in front of so many people. She could only smile apologetically.
Qin Feng knew, and his lips were slightly bent. “Bai designer, I said, we would meet again.”
Lu Zhi Yuan’s eyes changed and lightly said, “Do you know each other?”
“I just met him once.” Bai Xun glanced at him with helplessness.
On one side, Andric laughed with a smile. “I hope the two judges are fair.”
“That’s natural.” Qin Feng glanced at him with a smile and his eyes warned him which made him feel cold.
Lu Zhi Yuan took a seat. “Well, everyone is here. Who will go first?”
Andric stood up. “Let me.”
He copied the PPT2 to the computer, and turned to look at Bai Xun as if she were absent.
“My theme this time is based on Chinese ink painting…”
Since the first PPT, Bai Xun’s complexion changed. She was so upset she even overturned her water cup. This theme was exactly the same as hers.
Lu Zhi Yao was the only one who knew her designs.
