Chapter 42
The week-long porcelain expo officially ended, and Xiao Qi came back with the organizer's information to report the results: "I checked, the organizer this time is not local, it is an antique company in Hangzhou, which is exhibiting all over the country. The background is not very simple, there are several companies behind it, and the handling relationship is complicated, and it may take some time to find out. ”
Cheng Yubai said: "Then continue to investigate." ”
"Okay." Xiao Qi took a sip of tea and sighed for his leg that he almost broke off, "I thought that the Porcelain Expo would be solved and a university cooperation would allow Yuan Xishi to change his mind and vote for us." He is good, a bowl of water is flat, he doesn't make any effort just to take advantage of it, and he can't offend both ends. ”
He always felt that something strange, Luo Wenwen did not match the consistent style and positioning of the Fourth World Hall, did Yuan Xishi's brain cramp? How did you choose Lo Wenwen?
Cheng Yubai lay down and read the draft of the Moguan Cup online track, and kicked him: "The trash can is full, go and throw it away." ”
"I'm not going! It's just that dogs have to take a breath, right? ”
Still grumpy? Cheng Yubai straightened up his upper body, Xiao Qi craned his neck to look at him, and there was rough air in his nostrils. Half a minute later, Cheng Yubai resignedly put down the tablet, put on slippers and went outside to throw out the garbage. The garbage truck happened to come over, and he said a few words to the uncle who was picking up the waste, and when he turned around, he saw a figure sneaking around the corner of the wall.
Met his gaze, and the other party turned and left.
Cheng Yubai chased after him: "Afraid that I will blackmail you?" Why don't you go in when you come? ”
He also pointed to the broken porcelain piece last time.
Xu Qing looked down at his toes: "No, it's just ......"
"What's it?"
"Nothing."
There was a wind lamp hanging in the corner of the wall, swaying gently with the wind, and the swaying light and shadow flashed over her. Cheng Yubai caught a glimpse of a dark blue, straightened her face, and frowned: "You fought with someone?" ”
"No, I was scratched by a cat."
He has been doing handicrafts all year round, and his fingers are rough, and his fingertips have a rough feeling of suddenness, which makes his cheeks hot. Feeling uncomfortable, she waved his hand away.
Cheng Yubai said: "Come in and have a cup of tea." ”
She hesitated for a moment and followed.
Xiao Qi went to make tea, Cheng Yubai found the medicine box, unscrewed the chandelier in the flower hall, and half-leaned on the flower stand to clean her wounds.
"What cat is so ruthless?" There was a long nail mark, he compared it with a cotton swab, it was half long, "Don't you go to the hospital to see?" ”
Xu Qing stared at the spider plant on the beam, stringing yellow lights, and the warm light poured down, illuminating his hair softly, and his hard head looked soft. Her voice was low, with a little coolness: "Will it leave a scar?" ”
"It doesn't look like much."
"That's good."
Cheng Yubai snorted, his heart was really big.
Xu Qing blinked.
"Don't stare at the lights."
"Oh."
She turned her gaze back to see his eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. She looked at it for a long time and asked, "...... is the time of the yuan?"
In the afternoon, when she went to the hotel to squat at Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi still didn't see her, but asked the assistant to bring her a sentence: The opportunity is not for you.
She thought of him naturally.
There seems to be no one else but him. It's very strange, they are obviously opponents, she hates him to the core, and he also said that he will see him directly on the field, but why should he help her?
Cheng Yubai said: "You came here to ask this? ”
"Hmm."
"Does knowing the answer make you think of me differently?"
Xu Qing was stunned.
Cheng Yubai stopped his movements and met her eyes. She was thin, beautiful, with a palm-sized face and piercing eyes. Cheng Yubai pressed one hand on the flower platform and approached her.
The draft of the Fourth Hall is only internal, not external. Yuan Xishi contacted him before, but he refused, although he could not agree on the vote, but for his connection with Wu Yi to promote university cooperation, Yuan Xishi still wanted to express his gratitude, so Cheng Yubai proposed to let her participate in the competition.
This is not a violation of principles for Yuan Xishi, and for him, it is just a favor without any threat, so why not give it to her?
"Don't be too happy, it's up to you whether you can seize this opportunity." When the two were very close, Cheng Yubai suddenly retracted his gaze, tore off the sticker, and pasted it on her.
"Don't get wet when you go back at night."
"Okay." Xu Qingzhi got up, quickly stroked his chest, his eyes fell on the little daisy on the side, and whispered, "Thank you." ”
"What about such a whisper to mosquitoes?"
Knowing that he was making fun of her, she smiled slightly.
The two really didn't have anything to say, so Xu Qing didn't stay to drink tea, and left a scoop of drink after treating the wound. Walking far away, she got up and asked Xu Zhiliu: "...... you?"
As soon as you look back, what about people?
Cheng Yubai looked at the direction she left and was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Qi took the tablet to look at the online track submissions that he hadn't finished, and suddenly moved. When Cheng Yubai turned around, he happened to see his panicked expression.
He took a few steps forward: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed: "It shouldn't be nothing, right?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"It's just, I just found out that there's an entry......"
"Huh?"
"And the butterfly changes...... A little bit like? He handed the tablet over.
Cheng Yubai looked at it, and his brows were knotted.
Is this called a little like?
Xiao Qi swallowed violently: "What, according to the order of publication time, it should be plagiarism of this work, right?" Yes, it should be. ”
Before Xu Qing used the popularity of "The Great Power Heavy Weapon" to hype up the butterfly change, he was very impressed by the butterfly change. This work is called "shelling", and it also uses the elements of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly, and it is normal to have similarities with the butterfly change, but it is similar from the design idea to the details of the spout, and there is a problem.
The most important thing is that the other party copied it very high-level, and it was professional at first glance. On some levels, "shelling" is even more brilliant than "butterfly transformation".
Obviously, Cheng Yubai also saw this.
Xiao Qi beat a drum in his heart: "Or, or else, or just eliminate it, right?" ”
He is not blind, he can see that there is a little subtle thing between Cheng Yubai and Xu Qing, no outsiders can intervene, let them fight to the death, that little thing is always as strong as ever.
Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted: "Don't think about it, this look is plagiarism, and it would be good if it was not publicly executed." I'll contact the author privately and ask him to withdraw from the competition. ”
Cheng Yubai pondered for a long time and shook his head: "If you don't see it, everything is as usual." ”
Xiao Qi pondered what he meant: "What do you mean as usual?" Let this entry pass the preliminary selection and enter the semi-finals? ”
"Hmm."
Xiao Qi was anxious: "According to the previous decision, the semi-final works will be publicized on the Internet, and the internal review works will also be taken out together at that time, so that netizens can vote publicly." ”
In other words, the "butterfly change" and the "shelling" will be announced at the same time, which will inevitably cause a lot of turmoil at that time.
There is a ...... in the fourth hall But it's hard to say!
"Will Yuan Xishi use a designer with a stain? Even if she is a victim of plagiarism. ”
"How do you conclude that she must be a victim?"
"Not ......"
Xiao Qi said anything more, Cheng Yubai didn't listen, and strode towards the workshop in the backyard. The windows and doors in the cloister were clattered, and Xiao Qi had no choice but to close the window, and suddenly moved.
A bunch of small daisies on the ground are broken and the branches are bald!
Who did this to you?! At first, when he came back with the brewed tea, he took a special look at the flower hall, which was clean inside and out, how could it be ...... in a blink of an eye What the hell?
Xiao Qi trotted to adjust the monitoring.
Of course, he couldn't see anything.
Xu Zhiliu stepped on the ground and left a scoop of drink, and walked along the riverside, the faint fragrance of the little daisy still lingering on her fingertips. When he got home, he changed his shoes and went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
The foam wet his sleeves, and he didn't notice it, scrubbing the disgusting aroma over and over again, when suddenly a voice sounded behind him: "Where have you been?" ”
Xu Zhiliu made a move, Xu Qingzhuo pulled his slippers and came over to help him roll up his sleeves, twisted the faucet small, and wiped the water marks on the table with a napkin.
Xu Zhiliu followed her movements: "You haven't slept yet?" ”
"Well, I'm waiting for you." She opened the refrigerator and took out a glass of freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice, "Try it to see if it tastes good." ”
Her kitchen has basically not been used, but he has only recently started using it, and he has specially bought a fruit and vegetable processor, saying that he wants to help him strengthen his body. Thinking of this, Xu Zhiliu calmed down, wiped his hands, glanced at the green juice in the cup, and tried to take a sip.
"Not bad."
Xu Qing saw that his expression was as usual, and breathed a sigh of relief: "You said it was good, it must be very good." ”
"I'm very demanding?"
"No, it's a matter of taste, I'm afraid you're not used to it." Xu Qing took a blanket, sat down on the lazy recliner by the window, and looked at him from afar, "Do you want to talk?" ”
Xu Zhiliu's heart sank.
"You want to talk?"
"Hmm."
"What do you want to say?"
"Is there anything you'd like to say?" Regarding the night he sat on the balcony railing and was drunk, "You said earlier that it was a particularly stupid thing to rely on low-strength alcohol to numb your nerves. ”
He put down his glass and walked over: "Isn't it stupid?" ”
"When did you learn it? Order with your smart system at home. "It turned out that there was no wine at home, and before Yu Wan left, I searched inside and out once and took all the wine away.
Later, she looked at the smart order and noticed that one morning someone had placed an order for 20 bottles of red wine and 5 bottles of foreign wine.
"I'll learn if you use it twice."
Well, geniuses are like that.
Xu Qing was a little apprehensive and looked at his face: "Don't you want to talk to me about Xiaoliang?" ”
Xu Zhiliu sat cross-legged on the floor, turning his head to look out the window at the lanterns and trees, and the whole city magically looked like a fool's game. Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xu Qing said: "Although the chance is very slim, I contacted the salvage team, maybe...... I mean, maybe I'll be able to get that silk back. ”
"There's no point in getting it back." Xu Zhiliu interrupted her detour and got straight to the point, "Say what you want to say." ”
Xu Qing was stunned, didn't squirm anymore, and said, "Do you think Cheng is more than ......?"
Xu Zhiliu looked at her indifferently, and her expression did not fluctuate at all. Sure enough, she wanted to talk, but it was not Xiao Liang who was talking, but Cheng Yubai. She hadn't slept all this night, and she wasn't waiting for him, was she?
First is the human affection of the fourth world, and then the tenderness of that person, presumably she is very confused at the moment, right? For those ridiculous fantasies.
"Do you want to say if there is some misunderstanding between you?"
"I ......"
"Xu Qing, are you shaken?"
"I didn't."
"As long as your position remains the same, as for your heart......" he stood up, looking down at her from above, and for a moment seemed to be a ruler from above, "I can't interfere. ”
Xu Qing wanted to say something more, he waved his hand: "It's not early, go to bed early." ”
He turned off the light, and the house was plunged into darkness. He saw Xu Qing turn on the flashlight of his mobile phone in the dark, and go upstairs step by step. He stared at her back, his fists clenched silently.
Xu Qing, sooner or later you will know how worthless your fantasies and expectations are.
It's a city of fools.
You and I are fools.
