Chapter 45: "Lover"
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"Enough!" Fu Shaoting raised his voice and said, he closed his eyes, as if he was suppressing something, for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and said,
"Let's go."
"Shaoting!" Qiao Guanyue called him angrily.
"Get out!" He said coldly. Qiao Guanyue couldn't hold back anymore and ran out of the room crying. Fu Shaoting raised his hand to cover his lips, coughed a few times, lowered his eyes and looked at the position where Lu Jingci had sat just now, and sighed silently.
…… Time unconsciously came to record the competition again, this time it was five into three, although Lu Jingci's work caused a dispute between the judges, but still successfully advanced to the finals, announced the last design theme of this competition.
Fu Shaoting didn't come today, Lu Jingci stood on the stage, but lost her mind from time to time, looking at the empty position, she always unconsciously remembered that day when he hugged her and whispered her name in her ear.
After getting off the stage, He Chuze came backstage to look for her, and he also saw her distraction on stage just now, and asked with concern
"Jing Ci, are you okay?" Lu Jingci smiled
"No, I'm fine." He Chuze still said uneasily
"Really? If you're not feeling well, remember to tell me, I just saw you lose your mind on stage, and I'm worried about whether you're uncomfortable. Hearing this, she was slightly stunned and said
"It's okay, maybe the weather has been a little cold lately."
"Do you want to see a doctor? It's been cooling down lately, so remember to wear more clothes and don't be pushy. He asked worriedly, instructing.
"yes, I know." Lu Jingci nodded. After recording the show, He Chuze did not let her go to the company again, but directly sent her back to Lu Jingci and let her have a good rest.
In the room, Lu Jingci sat in front of the window, put the sketchbook on her lap, and held the pen in her hand, but she didn't go down to the first pen for a long time, not because she didn't want to paint, but because she didn't know where to start.
Lover, she couldn't imagine what it should be like to be a lover, she searched her stomach and couldn't find any memories related to her lover, and finally she finally understood one thing, in fact, she ...... Never had a lover!
She threw the pen aside, grabbed her hair irritably, and looked out the window, the sky outside the window was pressing, as if to describe her mood at this time, extremely dull.
At this time, the stars fell from the sky, she was stunned, looked at the more and more snow falling outside, opened the window, stretched out her hand, and spread her palm in mid-air.
Two or three points fell on her hand, cold and cold.
"First snow...... muttered as she looked at the melted snow in her palms. At this time, the little guy suddenly opened the door from the outside and ran in, screaming excitedly
"Mommy, it's snowing! It's snowing! Lu Jingci looked back, the little guy threw himself into her arms, looked up at the snow outside the window, and said
"Mom, so you're looking at the snow too!" Lu Jingci touched his little head slightly, and the little guy half fell into her arms and said
"Mom, didn't you make a wish?" Hearing this, she was stunned
"What wishes?" Seeing that she didn't understand, the little guy immediately came out of her arms and said
"Our teacher said that if you make a wish when it snows at the beginning of the snow, that wish will definitely come true!" Seeing that he looked serious, he couldn't help but smile
"Did Xiaoyang make a wish?"
"Uh-huh, I promised." The little one nodded.
"What wish did Xiaoyang make, can I tell my mother?" She asked. The little guy pouted and shook his head
"No, the teacher said it, and if the wish is said, it won't work." Lu Jingci was amused by his serious appearance and touched his head
"That's what it looks like!" She looked up at the sky outside the window and made a wish............ On this day, when He Chuze walked into her office, he saw several paper balls thrown on the ground, he watched her sit in the corner with one hand supporting her head, picked up a paper ball and opened it, and walked towards her.
"This is a good drawing, why not?" Hearing his voice, Lu Jingci raised his head and said lightly
"You're here." He Chuze did it beside her and said with a smile
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it? ”
"I can't think of ......," she knocked her head angrily,
"I've been painting for so long, and I haven't been satisfied."
"I can't think of it, it's because ...... The theme this time? He turned his head to look at her and said. She looked down at the blank manuscript paper and didn't speak.
He Chuze looked at her, was silent for a moment, and chuckled
"If you're tired, take a break."
"You can't rest, and you won't have enough time to rest." She said, clutching her hair frantically,
"Right now, my mind is blank, lover, what is lover, I don't understand, I'm annoyed!" He Chuze gently followed her back and said
"Take a break, you can't think of it now, it's useless to be in a hurry here." After he finished speaking, he turned around and called Xiao Xiao in, and told her to pour a cup of coffee for Lu Jingci.
Lu Jingci took a sip of coffee and let out a long sigh of relief. At this time, the mobile phone rang suddenly, she took out her mobile phone, looked at the caller ID on it, and was stunned!
In a café, Lu Jingci hurriedly entered and ran into the store in the snow, and before he had time to pat off the excess snow on his body, he waved to a couple not far away.
She walked over to the position in front of the couple and sat down, happy
"Sister Wen Qing, Brother Fu, why did you suddenly come to the imperial capital!" Wen Qing was also very happy and said
"I'm coming to see the doctor."
"See a doctor?" Lu Jingci blinked suspiciously, his eyes moved down, and he saw Wen Qing's bulging belly hidden under heavy clothes, and he was startled,
"Sister Wen Qing, are you ...... You've got kids again! Wen Qing gently stroked her abdomen and nodded
"Yes, second child." She said and glanced at Fu Mochen on the side with disgust, and said
"It's all to blame on this bastard next to me, I won't let me go when I'm over forty, and when I hear that the country is open to a second child, I have to have another one, I'm angry!" Hearing this, Fu Mochen reached out and gently hugged her, put one hand on her bulging belly, and hooked his lips
"I'm not the only one who thinks so, Xiao Zhi also said that he wants to have a sister." Wen Qing slapped his hand away and said angrily
"Get out! I was already an elderly woman when I gave birth to Xiao Zhi, and now Xiao Zhi is four and a half years old, you still dare to let me regenerate, I am not afraid of any problems in the delivery room, I just don't give up if you don't toss to death! Hearing this, Fu Mochen's face sank
"No nonsense! When the time comes, I will accompany you into the delivery room, and I will never let you have any accidents! ”
"What's the use of you going in, you're not a doctor." Wen Qing gave him a blank look. Lu Jingci looked at the two days of bickering and couldn't help laughing
"Sister Wen Qing, Brother Fu, you have been in a relationship for so many years, and your relationship is still so good."
"What's the matter, it's good that I won't be able to run to the imperial capital with a stomach now!" Wen Qing was still indignant.
Lu Jingci looked at her stomach and said
"It must have been like this for about 7 months, right?"
"It's been 8 months, and the fetal position was found to be incorrect during the prenatal examination, and there was a little umbilical cord entanglement, so I couldn't do the exercise adjustment, so I plan to come to the imperial capital to see what to do, is there a way to adjust, if not, then I can only have a caesarean section." She stroked her stomach and said worriedly.
"Well, that's pretty serious." Lu Jingci twisted his eyebrows and said. Wen Qing sighed and smiled
"Okay, let's not talk about us, let's talk about you, Xiao Porcelain, how you have been competing recently, I have seen it on the Internet, I didn't expect you to become so powerful now."
"I used to study this major when I was in school, so I can only say that I am returning to my old job." Lu Jingci smiled.
"Hmm. It's in the finals, how are you designing? Wen Qing asked with concern.
"Alas, don't mention it, I've been there until now, and the second before you called me, I was still having a headache about the design theme this time." Lu Jingci sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong? What's the problem? Wen Qing couldn't help asking. Hearing this, Lu Jingci lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, and said
"I'm a person who doesn't have a lover, and I have a headache when I design something about my lover."
"No lover?" Wen Qing and Fu Mochen glanced at each other in confusion,
"Why, aren't you already married?" Lu Jingci was silent for a moment, and then pulled the corners of his mouth
"He and I divorced a year ago." Wen Qing was taken aback
"Divorced! How could it be ......" she sighed
"Alas, it's a long story anyway, and it's not something that can be finished in a sentence or two." Wen Qing looked at her lonely, and couldn't help but clench Fu Mochen's hand in a little anxious, Fu Mochen smiled at her comfortingly, and spoke
"Even if you are divorced, you have the experience of being with him, and there will always be a few moments when you experience the feeling of being a lover."
"Me with him?" Hearing this, Lu Jingci sneered, shook his head and said,
"No, I want to go to my experiences with him, which are not good memories." Wen Qing looked at her, stretched out her hand to hold her hand, and said
"Little porcelain, I think, why do you think that the memories of your lover must be linked to beauty? Between lovers, not all are good experiences, just like me and your eldest brother Fu, before we achieved positive results, we experienced enough unhappiness and pain, at that time he and I were obviously tormenting each other, but we loved each other, how could we not be each other's lovers. Therefore, loving people does not have to be beautiful, but can also be heart-wrenching. Lu Jingci lowered his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Wen Qingwan Road
"Think about what I'm saying, and maybe you can get some inspiration from it."
"Hmm." She nodded.
"Alright, it's time for us to go." Wen Qing said. Lu Jingci raised his eyes to look at them
"Going, so soon."
"Well, I made an appointment with the doctor in the afternoon." Fu Mochen said.
"Oh, that's it, I'll give you then." Lu Jing porcelain road. Wen Qing shook her head and said
"No, my husband and I have to go somewhere else first." Seeing her say this, she didn't insist and nodded
"Alright then, then be careful on the road."
"Well, goodbye." Wen Qing nodded and stood up, and Fu Mochen also got up to support her waist.
"Goodbye!" Lu Jingci smiled, looking at the backs of the two slowly leaving, even if they were bickering while walking, their hands were clasped tightly from beginning to end.
Watching the two get into the car and leave, she retracted her gaze and looked down at herself reflected in the cup.
Can it be that loving someone is also not beautiful............ When he got off work in the evening, He Chuze went to Lu Jingci's office again, and when he went in, he didn't see her person inside, the design draft was placed on the table, and something was already painted on it, he walked over and picked it up, and saw a necklace and a ring painted on it.
The chains of the necklace are like chains that can tie people's hands and feet, intertwined with each other, and underneath, there is a heart, but that heart is tightly tied by the iron chain and cannot escape.
Lu Jingci came in with a cup, and when he saw him inside, he was surprised
"Why are you here?" Hearing her voice, He Chuze put down the notebook and said
"I'm here to see how you're doing, but it looks like it's done, so I'm relieved."
"How's the drawing?" Lu Jingci said with a smile. He twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said
"Hmm...... It's special. She walked over, picked up her sketchbook and looked at it, and said
"Didn't I go to see a pair of old friends in the morning, she told me that lovers can also be not beautiful, but also painful, I got inspiration from her words." Hearing this, He Chuze was stunned, and was silent for a moment before smiling
"So that's the case, a person who can say such a sentence is a person with a lot of experience when he hears it."
"Hmm." She nodded. She stretched
"I'm tired, I'm going home to take a hot bath and relax." He Chuze said with a smile
"Well, rest well and don't let yourself get too tired." She smiled and nodded
"Well, we can start making the finished product tomorrow, and there are four days left, so there's plenty of time."
"Come on, I'm sure you can." He raised his hand and stroked her hair. …… Time soon came to the day of the finals, this time, for the sake of secrecy, she didn't even shoot the display video, before going on stage, the makeup artist was helping her put on makeup, and He Chuze was accompanying her.
"It's the finals, but don't be nervous, no matter what the result is, you're the best Helen in my heart." He smiled softly.
Lu Jingci nodded with a smile and said
"Well, in fact, at this moment, I'm not very nervous, on the contrary, I am still a little looking forward to it." He raised his hand to help her comb the hair on her shoulders and smiled
"I'm relieved to hear you say that." The recording began, and two other designers took the stage, and the entries were placed on a display table covered with glass, and the glass cover was covered with a black cloth, making it mysterious.
"Finally ushered in the finals of this design competition, at this time, the three designers on the stage broke through the encirclement in the previous levels and became the top three in this competition, let us congratulate them first!" The host warmed up, and there was a round of warm applause.
"Now that it's the finals, some of our systems are naturally different from before, this time, we will display the works of three designers at the same time, and then project them on the big screen in the back, this time, our audience can also participate in the vote, choose your favorite work, and help your favorite designer win the championship!"
"The rules of the finals are that the audience and the judges vote at the same time, and one vote of the judges is equivalent to 10 votes of the audience, and the designer with the most votes in the final is the champion of our design competition!"
"Now, ask our staff to come up to the stage, wait for me to count down to three, two, one, and then uncover the black cloth at the same time." The moderator said, and three staff members each walked to the display stand in front of the three designers.
"Now, 3, 2, 1, please unveil the curtain!" Under the host's order, the three staff members grabbed the curtain at the same time, raised their hands to lift the cloth, and the cameras on the scene also pointed at the three works and projected them on the big screen behind.
There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, followed by a burst of whispering, the audience, and the judges all had a very surprised expression, and one of them stood up and pointed to the big screen
"What the hell is going on!" Hearing this, Lu Jingci turned to look at the big screen behind him, and was suddenly surprised, this... This is...... I saw that on the big screen, there were two works that were highly similar, and one of them was hers.
The two works are both a necklace and a ring, but the color of the chain is one light and one dark, one is a peach-shaped heart, and the other is a simulated heart.
"It's... How could this be! Another designer similar to her exclaimed in disbelief.
Lu Jingci looked at the designer in shock, and the other party turned out to be Eddie.
"Helen, what the hell is going on!" Add asked, glaring at her. Seeing that the other party sued first, Lu Jingci said with a confused face
"I want to know what's going on, too!" One of the judges said with the microphone
"Add, Helen, explain to us, how did this happen?" Add was the first to speak
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how my design collided with Helen, but I can guarantee that this is my work designed with all my heart, and there is absolutely no plagiarism!" Lu Jingci is still confused now, what is going on?
"Helen, what about your explanation?" The judge saw that she had been staring at the big screen in a daze, and asked out loud.
"I ...... I do not know. She was stunned.
"This is your work, how could you not know?" The judges wrinkled their eyebrows. Lu Jingci turned around, looked at the judges, and shook his head blankly
"Judges, I really don't know how this happened, I... I really don't know......," the judge asked, seeing that she was in a state of confusion
"Are you sure you did it alone?"
"I'm sure." She nodded,
"It was the afternoon of the 15th, the day after the design theme was announced." The judge wrinkled his eyebrows and was skeptical
"It only took you one afternoon to design this set?"
"Yes." She nodded. The judge nodded knowingly, affirmed Eddie, and asked
"What about you, Add?" She said calmly
"Judge, I completed it on the 16th, because of this work, I fell into a long bottleneck, and it took me a long time to finally complete this whole set of works." After listening to the words of the two, several judges also began to discuss again, and the audience at the scene was also full of discussions.
After a while, several judges finished discussing, and it was still the same judge just now, and said
"According to the words of the two of you at the scene, I can't tell what is going on, but it is certain that this is a plagiarism incident in a rather bad situation! In our competition, we do not allow such bad plagiarism, which is related to the reputation of our designers! With a few comments, we will definitely find out which plagiarist among you is and let her give an explanation! ”
"I don't know if you two brought your design draft to the scene?" The moderator asked.
"Yes, I brought it, it's in my backpack." Add was the first to raise his hand. Lu Jingci also nodded
"Yes, it's in the bag." The staff brought all the bags of the two people to the stage from the backstage, took out the design drafts of the two people on the spot, and then used the camera to shoot and project them on the big screen.
Then the two design drafts were brought to the judges' bench for the judges to identify. While waiting for the result, Lu Jingci raised his eyes and looked at the audience, He Chuze was there, Fu Shaoting was also there, He Chuze was anxious at her and didn't know what to say, judging from the lip shape, it seemed to say, don't worry, I believe you.
Fu Shaoting twisted his eyebrows and looked at the design draft of the two people on the screen with a serious face. The judges discussed for a long time, and finally one of them picked up the microphone and said
"We have a few judges who haven't come up with a result yet, and now we want you to tell each of you what you think about your design for your work. Which of you will come first? ”
"I'll do it first!" Eddie was the first to speak confidently, she glanced at Lu Jingci fiercely, and stepped forward.
"I named my work this time with Love as a Chain." She glanced at her work and said,
"In fact, when the design theme of the finals was announced at the beginning, I was very confused, lover, two simple words, but not simple, and then I remembered a man I once loved deeply, in my previous love history, he is the person I will never forget, I believe that most people are like me, there is a lover hidden in my heart, when we are in love, we scene, we can't wait to stick together every minute, just like a conjoined baby, we are always thinking about him, will be a look from him, a moveEven if we are separated later, he will not be erased from our hearts, but will be imprisoned in a corner of our hearts by the original iron chain again and again, just like the heart wrapped in the iron chain on the work, this is my work. After speaking, the judge nodded and said
"Okay, we know, now Helen, please tell us about the design concept of your work this time."
"Okay." Lu Jingci nodded, took a step forward, turned his head to look at the work in the glass cover, and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"This time, I named it ...... Not a good lover. "Cat flutter Chinese
