After listening to her words, Qu Huazi gently hugged her in her arms: "Huanxi, my little mute, you really think you are dumb!" Don't tell me about such a big thing, how can you carry it by yourself? It's okay, everything will be fine. ”

She probably lasted too long by herself, and when she met Qu Huazi's warm embrace, tears fell without a breath.

When she was in high school, she was really stubborn and rebellious, and she really didn't cry.

However, she did not hesitate to show her true emotions in front of Qu Huazi.

Qu Huazi coaxed her for a while, and seriously helped her think of a solution: "This amount of money may be a little difficult for me, and you know that I spend a lot of money." But for my family, it shouldn't be a problem, and I'm going back this weekend to beg them. ”

She looked at Qu Huazi, her nose was sour, and her thoughts at that time were probably - to repay Qu Huazi for being a cow and a horse in the future.

Qu Huazi probably saw that she was crying too badly, but instead burst out laughing: "Okay, my little mute, the first time I saw you crying, it turns out that you cried like this, and you reminded me of an idiom - I feel sorry for you." ”

Her tears just can't stop, she is tired and aggrieved, no matter how hard it is, she can persevere, but in the face of care, she loses all the ability to resist.

Qu Huazi took out a tissue to wipe away her tears: "Okay, don't cry, others will think I bullied you when they see it." Things will be solved, even if my parents are not willing to help, in fact, I have a little deposit myself, and each of our seven fairies can help you if they donate some money. ”

She was still crying.

Probably seeing that she was crying too badly, Qu Huazi changed the topic to comfort her: "By the way, what about your works?" You probably just brought the work from home this Monday, can I take a look? Listening to the tone of your voice, you seem to be very sure that this painting will win the award. ”

She hesitated for a moment, but at that time, Qu Huazi doted on her and raised her, just like her benefactor, so even if she experienced the last time - she gave her calligraphy work to Qu Huazi - something like that, she still did not refuse this time.

She obediently opened the painting tube and slowly spread out the ten-meter-long paintings inside.

Qu Huazi was amazed, and her tongue was almost knotted: "Huanxi, this is your work, you shouldn't be looking for a gun, right?" ”

She shook her head, this painting has a grand pattern, and it is very elegant, Qu Huazi doesn't believe that she painted it, and it is normal.

Qu Huazi looked at the painting greedily: "When I was a child, my parents arranged for me to go to a Chinese painting class, and I don't know anything about Chinese painting. ”

She caressed the painting, of course, this painting took her a lot of thought, since she was a child reading the Red Mansion, she has built this kind of world, it can be regarded as painting over and over again, repairing again and again, this is her final finished product.

Qu Huazi's eyes rolled and she came to Xu Huanxi: "Huanxi, is the purpose of your participation in this competition just for money?" ”

Faced with Qu Huazi's questioning, she was stunned.

- No, it's selfishness, it's the selfishness that wants to compare Xue Jingyun!

- She doesn't want Xue Jingyun's paintings, enter the palace of emperor art, don't want this feeling, and some people will still see it decades later.

However, the twists and turns in her heart cannot be told to outsiders.

Thereupon......

"Yes, it's just for the money."

Qu Huazi played with her hand, drawing circles in her palm, and her tone was soft, as if she was pleading: "You...... Can you give me this picture? ”

Xu Huanxi subconsciously withdrew his hand - no!

Her body was already very clearly expressed.

But there was still an innocent smile on her face: "Why? ”

- Yes, she just asked why, and she didn't say no right away.

Qu Huazi looked at her generously: "First, I like this painting very much, and secondly, I actually want to participate in the painting competition, but I am preparing for the musical instrument competition, and I really don't have time to paint, so I ......."

She listened to Qu Huazi's natural answer, and the hand behind her back slowly clenched - why?! Why should her works be given to Qu Huazi?!

Of course she didn't want to, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Because, she has never refused Qu Huazi.

Qu Huazi saw that she was silent, and seemed to understand her thoughts, as soon as she gritted her teeth, she directly hit her weakness as soon as she opened her mouth: "Huanxi, I will win this painting at ten times the price of the highest prize in the painting competition." ”

At that time, all she had in her mind was the conversion of money, the first prize, three thousand, ten times, thirty thousand.

Okay, the money is in place, anything can be sold.

She finally abandoned the painting and gently and carefully pushed the painting to Qu Huazi.

Compared with the calligraphy she gave last time, she gave this painting, which is actually more sad. Because of this calligraphy last time, you can't pay Qu Huazi.

But this time, the painting was sold to Qu Huazi, as if he had sold his cautious dignity and arrogance.

Art is priceless and noble, and to be so stained with the smell of copper is actually desecrating art.

She lowered her eyes, her mind turned a thousand times, and the tears that overflowed her eyes stopped abruptly.

Qu Huazi happily put the painting into the tube: "Huanxi, let me tell you, if this painting wins the first prize and I take it home, if I say anything, my parents will definitely agree, maybe even your grandmother's treatment fee." It's a win-win for us, I want the honor of the drawing contest, and you want a lot of money. ”

Xu Huanxi lowered his eyes and didn't speak, but the stars flashed - what's the matter? Do you have to thank you for the whole family?

However, she didn't say anything, just raised her head, and her eyes were full of earnestness: "Please, Huazi." ”

The deadline for receiving works on Monday and the announcement of the results of the competition on Friday, Emperor Craftsman High School has always been so vigorous.

The results of the drawing contest are out.

Laurel - Qu Hua Zi.

And Xue Jingyun's paintings did not enter the top three, only the top five.

Xu Huanxi admits that Xue Jingyun paints very well, but there are many talented people in the country, and in a place like Emperor Craftsman High School, there is no shortage of talents.

When she saw the result, she was a little funny, it turned out that she didn't need to stop it, and this kind of small-scale painting would not be able to climb into the elegant hall.

Emotion, admiration, only the exaggerated love piled up by gorgeous paintings, hum, how can it compare to the pattern of her "Red Mansion"!

She thought sourly in her heart, and finally had to admit that she just couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

On Friday, it's a holiday again.

However, she did not return home, and since her grandmother's accident, she has been doing odd jobs to help the family.
