Lin Zeshao drove the Land Rover away, Xia Tong stood alone and watched for a while, and then turned back to the villa with his little head down.

She didn't call Lizzy, she wandered around the villa first, and when she found that there was nothing to do, she opened the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It's sunny outside, and it's spring.

She went to the bedroom to take out the economics books and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and sat on the carpet.

She looked at the economics book carefully, and there were many obscure terms that she felt she couldn't remember, so she took out a pen and wrote and drew on the paper.

But after a stroke, she came up with jewelry design. After a few strokes, by the time she realized it, a complete crystal earring had already jumped on the page.

Annoyed, she bit her lower lip and tore the paper off and threw it on the carpet.

I forced myself to continue reading economics books, and continued to draw on paper, but the drawings were still jewelry designs. She simply threw away all the books, curled up her legs alone, and thought about things with her chin on her knees.

Lin Zeshao stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window and watched this scene, she curled up helplessly like a kitten abandoned by the world, and the carpet was full of her dreams.

He tried to go in and comfort her, but stopped in his tracks.

The corners of his mouth are hooked to laugh at himself, how can he comfort her?

In fact, he is the person in the world who is not qualified to comfort her!

Slowly walked out of the villa, leaned against the outside wall, lit a cigarette and smoked. Liu Jingqi asked him to take Xia Tong to the Magnificent Competition this morning to prove his love to him.

Ridiculous, why should he prove it to him!

This is Xia Tong's choice, and it is also his choice, in the future... In the future he will give her a better one, and he will compensate her.

……

Xia Tong sat on the carpet for a long time, and suddenly her mobile phone in the living room rang, she got up, stepped forward with her legs that had been squatting until they were numb.

picked up the phone, it was Peng Juan's phone.

"Hey, Xia Tong, where are you now? I don't know why you're quitting, but it's a day when the Magnificent Jewelry Contest is over, so why don't you come and see it? ”

Xia Tong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the Rosewood Competition held today?" ”

"Yes, it will be held in our city's Cultural Square, and it will start in an hour, Xia Tong, come over quickly."

Xia Tong hesitated, lowered her eyes, and said sullenly, "I... I'm not going. ”

She has given up on jewelry design, and now it is only sad to look at it.

Peng Juan's voice was incredulous, "Xia Tong, are you really not coming, this is a grand occasion that we have only seen in the jewelry industry for ten years." By the way, Ye Tong's predecessors are also here today. ”

Xia Tong's eyes lit up when he heard this, "What? Did Ye Tong's predecessors also come? ”

"That's right, just nearly ten black nanny cars parked at the entrance of the Cultural Square, not to mention how magnificent, when many people came out to greet them, I saw a back, it was really... Elegant and intellectual. Xia Tong, I won't tell you, you can hurry up. ”

Peng Juan hung up the phone, and Xia Tong hesitated.

In the end, she couldn't resist the curiosity and desire in her heart, so she ran to change her shoes and hurried out.

……

When she arrived at the Cultural Square, Peng Juan stood at the big bronze horse sculpture and waited for her.

The two of them were together, and Peng Juan grabbed Xia Tong's arm and ran inside, "Xia Tong, let's go in quickly." ”

Today's cultural square is very lively, and the corridors inside are full of Qianqian students from all over the world, professionals who observe and appreciate, and many spectators.

Ten steps away from the wall of the corridor, there is an LCD TV, which broadcasts the situation of the cultural hall live.

Xia Tong just wanted to stand in front of the screen and watch, but Peng Juan pulled her into the hall, and she said busily, "Peng Juan, didn't you say that it is full of dignitaries and celebrities in the city, and people in the jewelry industry are not allowed to enter." ”

Peng Juan winked mischievously at her, and then took out a round yellow sign from his trouser pocket, "Xia Tong, look." ”

Xia Tong looked down, and the sign was printed with - Crown Jewels.

"Peng Juan, did you get that competition spot for Crown Jewels?" You must know that there are many talented and accomplished talents in the crown, and she and Peng Juan are too young.

Peng Juan laughed twice and didn't answer, she put away the sign and took Xia Tong inside, "Come in." ”

The staff at the door looked at the sign and let the two of them go.

Inside is a thousand-person staircase hall, which is full of people in suits and leather shoes, and many jewelry seniors wearing reading glasses.

The stage at the front of the hall was wide, separated by thirty positions, each of which was hung in the air on a transparent slab, with new pencils and watercolours on the cream-white tabletop.

A mist quickly rose in Xia Tong's eyes, which was longing and yearning, lonely and sentimental.

This is a stage for dreams, a place where dreams begin, and she can only watch from a distance in the future.

Peng Juan tugged Xia Tong, who was stunned, "Xia Tong, why don't you leave?" ”

Xia Tong retracted his gaze and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's nothing." ”

"Let's go, then."

"Where to go?"

Peng Juan pulled Xia Tong to the backstage, which was full of players who were going to play, and everyone was accompanied by parents and teachers, who were cheering and encouraging.

Peng Juan brought Xia Tong to the entrance of the backstage, she opened the curtain, and the host was speaking with the microphone, "Next, we invite our Ms. Ye Tong to speak for us, tailoring." ”

So, Xia Tong heard a wave of warm applause from the audience.

This legend who brought Rosewood to the world deserves such applause.

Xia Tong couldn't help but take a step forward, and through the thin slit of the curtain, she saw Ye Tong walking across from her.

Ye Tong was wearing a black windbreaker lined with a white shirt, her hair was slightly curly, and her black eyes were pure and translucent. She has elegant manners and rich manners, and a woman who is nearly 45 years old is still beautiful, and you can imagine her alluring appearance when she was young.

Among all the women Xia Tong knows, the Belgian wife in the United States perfectly interprets a woman's gentleness and tolerance, and Ye Tong perfectly interprets the mellow fragrance precipitated by a 40-year-old woman, intellectual, intelligent and beautiful.

Xia Tong's heart was surging, this was the real idol she worshipped in her heart.

Ye Tong stood in front of the hosting stage, her voice was clear and gentle, "I personally feel a lot of emotion when I return to China after 30 years." Thank you for inviting me to this Magnificent Competition, and I hope that all the contestants can give full play to their strengths. ”

In just a few words, he won the applause of the audience, and everyone's eyes were blazing, which was respect for a woman.

This was followed by the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and then the contestants entered.

The contestants entered more than half, and when it was time for Peng Juan, Peng Juan stuck the yellow card in his hand on Xia Tong's clothes. Xia Tong was taken aback, "Peng Juan, what are you doing?" ”

Peng Juan smiled sincerely, "Xia Tong, in fact, the quota for this competition is for you, we all believe that you can achieve good results, go ahead, cheer for our school, for the crown, and for yourself." ”

……

At this time, the hall of the venue was divided into three rows, with the richest man in the city on the left, the authority in the jewelry industry in the middle, and the jewelry tycoons and jewelry companies sponsored by the major sponsors on the right.

Among them, Lin Zeshao and Liu Jingqi were sitting in the most honorable positions on the left and right, their eyes collided in the air, Lin Zeshao was handsome and indifferent, and Liu Jingqi was as gentle and calm as ever.

The contestants entered the arena one after another, Lin Zeshao looked at the enthusiastic and confident faces, and Xia Tong's pretty face appeared in his mind, was she still curled up alone in the floor-to-ceiling window, sad and self-pitying?

He was not interested in watching this game, but now he can't wait to put on his wings and fly back, and he won't let her go free, and he won't even give her a chance to relieve her loneliness and sadness.

There were 29 players on the field, and one was late, and the whole audience was a little restless, what an important game, being late was just nonsense.

The host laughed, "We still have a contestant, isn't she very nervous, is she a little stage frightened due to weakness in her legs..."

Suddenly, the curtain at the entrance was lifted, and a delicate man was pushed out.

Xia Tong's figure broke into Lin Zeshao's ink eyes without warning, his body shook, and his eyes were already floating towards Liu Jingqi.

Liu Jingqi looked back with a tacit understanding, looking at Lin Zeshao's tense and cold face, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a touch of arc, silent provocation, and a victorious gesture.

For such a reckless and reckless Xia Tong, the audience was in an uproar, and the host coughed and said, "Heh, it turns out that this player is not stage fright, but wants to make us a big change." Okay, you've all been entertained, and you can get back to your place. ”

Xia Tong had an urge to cry without tears, and was suddenly pushed out by Peng Juan, and she was embarrassed to burrow into the ground. Almost covering her face with her small hands, she bowed to the audience and quickly ran up to her position.

After only two steps, she bumped into the position of a contestant, and there was a "crackling" sound, and everything on the table fell down, even the inkstone was broken.

Xia Tong was really going to cry now, and the whole audience was talking to each other, whispering.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."Xia Tong apologized to the player and immediately squatted down to pick up something on the ground.

A staff member from the audience quickly came to the stage to clean up the mess, and the host continued to round the stage, "Heh, it seems that our player not only does tricks, but also juggles." Okay, it's game time, so let's get back. ”

The scraps on the ground were picked up, and a new set was placed on the table, but Xia Tong stood in place, turning his little head to look at it.

Now the host was in a hurry, and he stepped forward and asked, "This player, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Tong was at a loss, she saw that the microphone was handed to her, and she took the opportunity to say, "I don't know where my position is?" ”

At this time, she was outraged by the public, and the audience almost simultaneously stretched out their fingers and pointed to the very conspicuous vacant seat, "Classmate, that is!" ”

Xia Tong, "..."

Lin Zeshao looked at Xia Tong on the stage, she ran to the seat like a frightened deer, her whole face was red, and she was embarrassed to look up with her eyes down.
