Chapter 49: Speculation

"Zimo, I'm ......" Ji Lingbai's words were a little speechless.

"You don't need to say it, Ling Bai, I understand your intentions. Xi Zimo always understood any of Ji Lingbai's thoughts.

Ji Lingbai stood up and clenched Xi Zimo's hand, "Then let's go out." ”

The two quickly walked out of the computer room, outside Ji Kaifeng and Xi Junhan were watching TV, and the smell of food came from the kitchen.

"Come out, what's going on?" Ji Kaifeng found the two of them for the first time.

Feeling the mat next to him stiffen, Ji Lingbai took over the conversation, "It's not a big deal, I just remembered something, so I went to take a look." ”

Ji Kaifeng has never been the kind of person who will chase and ask, so he did not continue this topic. "Let's watch the video together. ”

Xi Zimo relaxed a little at this time, and sat on the sofa with Ji Lingbai.

In fact, the gap in Xi Zimo's heart was even more serious than Ji Lingbai imagined. Because he has been studying with Mo Lao, in fact, Xi Zimo doesn't know what his level is. Although Ji Lingbai and Mo Lao have always said that he paints very well, as the saying goes, there is Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover. In the same way, Xi Zimo was afraid of Mo Lao and Ji Lingbai's praise because of their relationship with him.

This competition, in fact, to a certain extent, is a test of Xi Zimo's self. He wanted to see what level of his current painting level was. Now the result is something he didn't think about at all.

If he simply didn't win the award, it may mean that his level is not enough, and he still needs to hone his skills. However, what is the situation when I can't even find the entries directly? Xi Zimo never thought that such a thing would happen to him.

Ji Lingbai suddenly remembered something, "Zimo, this holiday is quite long, do you have any plans?"

Xi Zimo still didn't react, and looked at Ji Lingbai blankly.

"Do you want to hang out with me, I worked on a project some time ago and was going to check it out. Come with me, just take a break. ”

"Project, what project?" Unexpectedly, the first person who was attracted was not Xi Zimo, but Ji Kaifeng.

In Ji Kaifeng's opinion, although his daughter has a little talent for business, she is still young after all. He never imagined that his daughter would actually work on a small project without knowing anything.

Ji Lingbai's work on this project was purely coincidental, and he didn't have the idea of a masterpiece before. It's just that I just suddenly remembered that the scenery over there is good, and I can just take Xi Zimo, who is not in a good mood now, to play.

"Dad, it's not a big project, don't ask. ”

Ji Kaifeng laughed when he heard Ji Lingbai's words, he still knew a little bit about his daughter, let him stop asking, then he wouldn't be able to ask anything. Although he was still a little curious, Ji Kaifeng knew that as long as Ji Lingbai kept doing it, one day, he would know.

Seeing that his father had no intention of continuing, Ji Lingbai touched Xi Zimo's shoulder, "What about you, do you want to go play with me?"

I don't know if it's Ji Lingbai's illusion, after she found out about this, Xi Zimo became a little silent. Although Xi Zimo has always been very silent in his previous life, with a cold appearance, but in this life, because of his own reasons, Xi Zimo is progressing step by step in the direction of a warm man.

"If I go, won't it disturb you?" Xi Zimo looked a little hesitant.

Ji Lingbai's brows furrowed, "No matter what time it is, you won't be the one who will bother me." ”

Xi Zimo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xi Junhan, who had been paying attention to this side. "Zimo, since you Ling Bai said that you would let you go, these should have been considered. You just go, just in time for a long time to see. ”

"Uncle is right, Zimo, you can go with me to have a look. Ji Lingbai didn't know how to get Xi Zimo out of this incident, so he could only leave it to time.

Xi Zimo is not such a bad person, "Since you all said so, then I'll go." ”

The two of them hadn't even waited for the exam results to come out, they had already packed their things and were ready to leave. It's just that before leaving, Ji Lingbai still went to see Mo Lao alone. It's just that she didn't know that Xi Zimo had actually spoken to Mo Lao a long time before her.

"Mo Lao, I think you also know why I came this time. Ji Lingbai came here without Xi Zimo, so in terms of time, he was able to save money, and he said his intention straight to the point.

"You sit first. Because he had already spoken to Xi Zimo on the phone before, and in fact, Mo Lao had also been paying attention to this matter, so he still knew a lot more than Ji Lingbai.

"This time it's my problem, and I've told you before that the jury is very good this time, and there won't be any big problems. But I didn't expect it, and it was probably just too good, so there was a problem. ”

Mo Lao said it little by little, and Ji Lingbai was shocked when he heard it.

"Initially, there was just one teacher who withdrew from the judging for his own reasons, so they found another person to replace the person who left. But this substitute made the other judges very unhappy in many ways, and after a few fruitless arguments, more teachers withdrew. But the organizer didn't know what the considerations were, so instead of replacing this person, they asked this person to recommend a few teachers who had a good relationship with him to enter. ”

Speaking of this, Mo Lao paused. He still feels a little ashamed to tell an outsider about this kind of thing in his circle. "That's why the jury was a mess this time. ”

Although Ji Lingbai scoffed at this kind of temporary substitution, after all, it was the organizer's problem, and it was not good to say more. "What does that have to do with the disappearance of Zimo's works?"

Mo Lao touched his nose, "I suspect that the disappearance of Zimo's works has something to do with the person who substituted for it." ”

"Huh?" Ji Lingbai didn't understand why Mo Lao would say that.

Mo Lao paused for a moment before saying, "You may not know how good Zimo's work is, even from my professional point of view, none of the published works can match one-tenth of it." Now there are fewer and fewer excellent painters in the circle, and such good works represent sales and money. ”

Ji Lingbai's brows furrowed, "You mean that someone has taken a fancy to Zimo's work and wants to take it for themselves." ”

Although Mo Lao didn't want to admit this fact, based on the current situation, such a possibility was the greatest. "That's just my guess. ”

Even if Mo Lao said in the end that this was just a guess, but what kind of character Ji Lingbai is, she already knows Mo Lao's character. If there is no basis for it, I don't dare to say it at all.

"Then we can't help it?"

Mo Lao helplessly spread his hands, "It seems like this at the moment, I can only wait for that person to take the initiative to take out the work." And if this person dares to take it out, he must have made all preparations, maybe we won't be able to do anything to him at that time. ”

This result obviously couldn't satisfy Ji Lingbai, but she knew that even if she continued to be here, she wouldn't get any good results. "The result has had a profound impact on Zimo, and I probably won't approve of him continuing to participate in this type of competition. ”

Mo Lao knew what Ji Lingbai meant, and this time Xi Zimo participated in the competition, which he tried his best to promote. He felt guilty, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, I will be more cautious in the future." ”

Ji Lingbai is not a person who likes to throw the pot, "The problem this time is not you, after all, such a thing happens to none of us that we don't want to see." I just realized that Zimo didn't need to participate in this kind of hypocritical online competition, he just had to concentrate on drawing. Anyway, he was only fourteen years old. ”

"Yes, he's only fourteen years old, and he's still young in this field. It may be the reason why Xi Zimo usually behaves too maturely, often making people forget his age, knowing that at this time, Mo Lao reacted, in front of him, Xi Zimo is just a child.

At this point, Ji Lingbai has already expressed almost it. "Then, Mo Lao, I'll go first. By the way, also, Zimo will go out with me this time to relax, so he won't come to you often. ”

"It's good to be distracted, that child is sensible, and he won't forget the work at hand if he doesn't come often, I don't worry. "Speaking of Xi Zimo, Mo Lao is satisfied everywhere.

When Ji Lingbai left, he was puzzled in his heart: Mo Lao really didn't know who the other party was, or did he know but didn't want to say it?

Of course, Ji Lingbai wouldn't know, watching Ji Lingbai go farther and farther, until he couldn't see Mo Lao, who turned around until he couldn't see it, the first thing he said, no one heard it, and he drifted away in the wind, "Is it you?"

When Ji Lingbai returned home, Xi Zimo was in a daze by the window. Looking at the other party's back, Ji Lingbai had the idea of wanting to go over and hold the person in his arms, in fact, he did the same.

"Ling Bai?" felt the temperature behind him, with Ji Lingbai's unique taste. Without looking back, Xi Zimo knew that it was his sister who came back.

Ji Lingbai rubbed Xi Zimo's back, the young man's back was not thick, and he was even a little emaciated. "Hmm. What are you doing standing here?"

Xi Zimo turned around and pulled Ji Lingbai to sit on the sofa, "It's nothing, just take a look." Then, as if suddenly remembering something, "By the way, what did you just do, aren't we going to leave tomorrow?"

"yes, didn't I go get some things ready?" he said, raising the handbag in his hand.

Xi Zimo took the opportunity to look over and found that the handbag in Ji Lingbai's hand was actually printed with the logo of the pharmacy, "Are you sick?"

Ji Lingbai's smile disappeared in an instant, "What do you want?" It's some small medicine that we will use when we go out to play." ”

Hearing that it wasn't Ji Lingbai who was sick, Xi Zimo was relieved. As for the rest, it is enough to have a sister.
