Xia Tong was sent to school by Lin Zeshao, the morning class was very smooth, and at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Director Peng notified everyone to gather in the school exhibition room.

Peng Juan and Xia Tong in the class have a good relationship, she is Director Peng's niece, and her personality is simple and lively.

Peng Juan stood and waited for Xia Tong to pack up his textbooks, "Xia Tong, hurry up, didn't you see everyone running to the expo room, we won't be able to squeeze in later." We heard that this time Crown Jewels brought us the latest and most popular jewelry styles this year, and there are many jewelry with those celebrities and big names at the international T show exhibition, we can feast our eyes. ”

Xia Tong packed up his textbooks and walked out with Peng Juan, Xia Tong asked, "Is Crown Jewelry the company we want to intern in?" ”

Peng Juan nodded, with a little excitement, "That's right, I tell you a secret, Director Peng has drawn up the list of the first batch of students to be sent to Crown for internship, you and I are in it, and we will take up the post next Monday." ”

"Next Monday?" Xia Tong was stunned, "Didn't you say that you want to go to the next semester?" ”

"It used to be the second semester, but Director Peng said that our current courses are all about theoretical knowledge, but the most important thing in jewelry design is practical experience and inspiration, so the school decided to intern in advance from our current year, and the internship results in Crown should be recorded in the final comprehensive evaluation."

Xia Tong looked at Peng Juanhong's fluttering little face, it's good to have an aunt who is a teacher, and the news is very well-informed.

Peng Juan held Xia Tong's arm, "Xia Tong, there is another important reason why the school let us intern in advance, the national once-in-a-decade Magnificent Jewelry Design Competition is about to start, and this time it will be held in our city's cultural square." ”

Xia Tong knows about the Magnificent Competition, which is not only the most authoritative jewelry competition in the country, but also famous in the world.

The contest was originally held in Tongshi 40 years ago, when it was small, but at that time, a generation of legendary woman Ye Tong came out, and she became famous at the age of 14 with the Star of the Sea.

At that time, Ye Tong's fame can be imagined, she not only went to the world by herself, but also led this unknown magnificent competition out of the country.

Peng Juan beside him was still chattering, "Xia Tong, I heard that this competition will invite all the dignitaries and elites in the city, and the veteran elites of the jewelry industry to participate. ”

What Peng Juan said is the truth, this competition has been held for four years, and all the up-and-coming people in the four sessions, even if they show their faces, are now thriving in the jewelry design industry.

"Crown is one of the sponsors of this competition, and the sponsors can guarantee a place in the competition, and the school hopes that even if this place does not fall on our heads, we also hope that we can go with Crown to see the jewelry competition that is only once in ten years."

Peng Juan finished speaking excitedly, but Xia Tong did not give the same enthusiastic response.

She shook her arm and pouted, "Xia Tong, what are you thinking, don't you want to see the Magnificent Competition?" ”

Xia Tong smiled and shook his head, "No, I was just thinking that if Senior Ye Tong could come to this competition and let me meet her in person, I would be happier than anything else." ”

Ye Tong is an immortal legend in the jewelry world, and no one does not know her name.

Peng Juan asked, "Xia Tong, is Ye Tong your idol?" ”

"Well," Xia Tong nodded, "I like the works she designed very much, but it's a pity that she married too quickly, and there are only five works circulating now." ”

Peng Juan looked at Xia Tong's regretful appearance and blinked mischievously, "Xia Tong, back then, Ye Tong returned to Italy for love and faded out of the jewelry world, what about you, what if Mr. Lin also wants you to give up jewelry design?" ”

Just as the Houmen is as deep as the sea, nine times out of ten all women who marry into wealthy families will become men's appendages, and there is no self to speak of.

Xia Tong shook his head, his eyes bright and firm, "No." ”

He said he wouldn't.

……

When the two walked into the expo room, there were not many people inside, only more than 30 students in one class.

The shining mirror platform in the exhibition room is full of dazzling jewelry, tanzanite white gold pendants, rubellite rings, Hetian jade bracelets, everything.

Everyone was stunned, and they all lay down in front of their favorite jewelry and sighed in amazement, even Peng Juan broke away from Xia Tong's arm and observed a pure gold statue of Maitreya Buddha there.

Xia Tong mainly looks at the design, but in fact, the jewelry itself has no temptation for her.

She wore a bracelet on her hand, and the four-leaf clover necklace hanging around her neck was already superb, and in a jewelry box given by the Lin family that day was a complete set of jewelry, and the red, green and white color alone could be seen to be a rare item.

After walking around the exhibition room, Xia Tong stopped at a counter without any jewels, and a porcelain vase with a lily rubbed inside.

Xia Tong stood there, and there was a small blue leather book on the side of the vase. She lifted it with her hand, and it was a jewelry design manuscript.

When she opened the first page, her pupils widened.

Subconsciously standing up straight, she lowered her eyes and looked at the page by page.

I was looking intently, and suddenly a warm voice came from beside me, "Is this manuscript beautiful?" ”

Xia Tong was startled, and his cheeks quickly reddened.

This manuscript is the original, and it is full of pencil outlines, even traces of wiping and revision. She looked uninvited, and it seemed that she had invaded other people's privacy.

Xia Tong rolled his eyes and apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the person standing in front of him was Liu Jingqi.

He still has that exquisite face, two willow eyebrows and thousands of styles, a pair of black eyes like jade, faintly blooming with natural warmth.

Xia Tong didn't know why the world was so small, and after meeting on the street corner yesterday afternoon, he appeared in her school again.

"Heh, what a coincidence..."Xia Tong laughed wryly and asked tentatively, "Is this manuscript yours?" ”

The stiffness and perfunctory on the woman's face were all seen by Liu Jingqi, I am afraid that if she hadn't had doubts in her heart, she would have turned around and left.

He sneered in his heart, but the corners of his mouth were warmly raised, "Guess." ”

Lin Zeshao didn't like him, Xia Tong naturally wanted to keep his distance from him, but if this manuscript was his, it would be rude for her to turn around and leave.

She thought for a moment, "I don't think this is yours." ”

Liu Jingqi shrugged, "Why?" ”

"The design of this manuscript is delicate, and it blends the art form of colored enamel tiles and geometric shapes into hollow squares, polygons and circles in modern jewelry design, which is, if I remember correctly, a design concept unique to Ye Tong's predecessors."

Looking at Xia Tong's affirmative look, Liu Jingqi took two steps forward, and he smiled, "So you suspect that this is Ye Tong's real work?" How dare you think that her real work can appear in such a small place! ”

There was a mockery in his words, but his face and tone were still calm, and a pair of dark eyes stared at her tightly, and the warmth and softness in them could melt almost everything in the world.

But Xia Tong was not melted, she frowned instead.

"There was clearly a transition period in the manuscript, and the design was new and pleasing at first, like graffiti on the wall, but the penmanship was not yet perfect. Later, the brushwork became more and more perfect, and the strong color contrast became more and more flamboyant. The final brushstrokes tend to be rounded, but mostly... Catering to the fashion trends and extravagance of the Italian court... Everybody says..."

"What does everybody say?"

Xia Tongqing was a little depressed, she admired her deeply when she first saw Ye Tong's design when she was 12 years old, and hoped that one day she would have such achievements.

There is nothing sadder than watching the goddess of the heart fall.

She turned around, lowered her eyes and looked at the manuscript, her voice was soft, "Everyone says that Ye Tong's predecessors returned to Italy with their favorites, and the husband and wife are deeply in love with the gods, but in fact... Actually, she's not doing well... Happiness and wishful thinking. ”

At the height of her fame, she gave up her ideals for love, and always did what she wanted, Xiuyu's ethereal design was dyed with a worldly atmosphere, and she was designed to cater to her, did she feel condescending or regretful?

Zhao Ran remembered what Dai Ran said to her in the study that night, how many women can live freely in this life?

Liu Jingqi looked at her as if she had fallen into a sad world, biting her lower lip tightly, looking lonely, and feeling pity for her petite body. He approached her, stretching out his white palm to caress her hair.

Before I got close to her, I just heard her mutter, "Perhaps, this is the price of being a woman." ”

She didn't notice him, immersed in her own world, he saw her bow her head, stretched out her little hand to hold the pendant chain around her neck, her facial features were dyed with shyness, and her voice was shy, "But, I do!" ”

Every girl will transform into a woman for a man, and the world of two people is restrictive a lot, and women sacrifice more. But the world of love doesn't pay much, as long as she wants to.

Liu Jingqi withdrew his palm, he thought, he understood what she meant.

Xia Tong turned around, she saw Liu Jingqi leaning on her, and took two steps back without a trace, her gentle and detached smile, "I'll take a look elsewhere." ”

……

Liu Jingqi watched Xia Tong walk into the distance, he reached out to take off the tiny camera on the base of the vase, and took out the mobile phone in the pocket of the cyan knitted cardigan, he leaned on the counter,

"Mom, people have let you see it, is she worth it for you to come back?"

There was a half-silence over there, and a gentle voice came, "The girl is a good girl, and she has a talent for jewelry design, I can train it, but her mind is not on you." ”

"Her mind doesn't matter, as long as my mind is on her. Your son has never had a woman yet, he just wants her. ”

"But she's someone else's woman."

"Heh, I wouldn't mind."

There was a three-second pause there, "Jing Qi, you know that your love has been deformed and is not suitable for development." ”

"If you don't develop, I'm afraid I'll go crazy, I can't see her getting along with other men, and I want to destroy her when I see her, Mom, you sue me, what should I do with myself?"

There was a sigh, "Okay, I'll rush back before the Magnificent Tournament." ”
