Over the years, Cheng Yubai has not suspected that Grandpa Xu's appearance was deliberately done, but at that time, the incident happened suddenly, and he couldn't take care of anything, and after sending Grandpa Xu to the operating room, he has been in the hospital. I was panicked, and when I saw Xu Qing's face, the whole person was restless.

At that time, he had a strong premonition that he would lose her.

Even though he never got it.

Later, Xu Qing really left, no one contacted her as soon as she graduated, and she walked cleanly, even where her grandfather's grave was, or a fellow who helped her run for the return procedure later said. She walked so decisively, as if she hadn't existed for four years. Who could lower their heads when they were young? What's more, in his opinion, she was indeed ridiculously wrong, and she held her breath in her heart, like a fish in her throat. There are only a lot of things that I didn't have time to sort out at the time, and it was difficult to turn around afterwards.

The thorns take root in place and grow in the body.

Wu Yi said that if you go to study abroad, change the environment for yourself, and think clearly, so he went to Japan. However, in a foreign country, a completely unfamiliar city with no trace of her, he still thinks about the past day and night, and keeps looking through alumni forums and websites every day, trying to find her traces, even if it is only a little, but unfortunately there is nothing.

It was as if she had vanished into thin air, and only then did he feel hatred, a numb, not very strong but lasting pain, growing in the bottom of his heart.

He told himself, forget about the girl.

Cheng Yubai is not a person who is in love, for him, there is a more important mission waiting for him, isn't it?

A year later, when he returned to Jingdezhen, the turmoil gradually subsided, and naturally he did not pursue the mottled broken shadows of the year. But no recourse, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, he has been avoiding it all these years, just as the fat man said, under the premise that she won't come back, there is really no need to verify those conspiracies, but now that she is back, shouldn't she also sort out the web of weaving and seek a possibility?

In fact, for that "black hand", he has a candidate in mind.

He won't do anything until he confirms it.

Within two days, Lao Zhang came with the news, and he really found out.

"After five years, the hospital monitoring has been deleted, but fortunately, Grandpa Xu is a special case of a special family, and he followed his granddaughter to college for four years, and many people have an impression of him." Lao Zhang had relatives in the East Hospital, and asked a nurse in charge of Grandpa Xu's ward at the time, and the nurse said that the day before Grandpa Xu left the hospital without authorization, someone had indeed come to look for him.

People have feelings for a long time, and an old man who has only one breath left suddenly disappears, and they are all looking for madness, so they will naturally associate antecedents. A few people pondered it and had a guess.

"A boy, with a raw face, tall and thin, with a southerner accent."

Among the classmates at that time, there were many southerners, tall and thin boys who needed to think more carefully, and Lao Zhang asked him, "What are your plans?" Do you want to tell Xu Qing? ”

"Let me think about it."

Lao Zhang is an understanding person, he didn't ask more questions when he heard the words, he just looked around, a scoop of wine was magnificent, and the gold-swallowing beast was gold and jade, if it weren't for the slight friendship of his former classmates, where would they still be a person of the world? He's sitting here now, and he doesn't fit in with it.

Lao Zhang touched his knee and took a sip of tea crampedly.

Cheng Yubai knew that he had something on his mind at a glance, and said with a smile: "I thought you would never come to me in your life." ”

Lao Zhang was even more embarrassed when he heard it.

His situation is not a secret among his old classmates, everyone knows how difficult his life is, it is common not to open for a few years, and it is not a day or two that he can't open the pot, but he came this time, not for himself.

"Yibai, you know me, even if I eat steamed buns every day, I won't complain, I rely on my own hands, I don't have to worry about anything, but if I receive anyone's favor, it will be difficult to be comfortable. I don't dare to think that I can still get by now, and you don't have to worry about me, if it doesn't work, I'll go out and find a job, so I won't starve to death. ”

How precious can a painter's hand be? Lao Zhang is a down-to-earth person, cherishes his hands, and cherishes his feathers.

"If you really need to, don't worry. Lao Zhang, I cherish everyone's friendship. ”

Lao Zhang nodded yes, seeing that Cheng Yubai was still looking at himself, he licked his lips and did a lot of psychological construction before he spoke: "I have a friend who is in a similar situation to me, we have been in frequent exchanges over the years, and occasionally go out together to collect wind, live in a thatched hut in the mountains to listen to the wind and watch the rain. You won't understand this kind of life, but we ......."

Having said this, he realized that the fork was far away, and he hurriedly put it away, "Anyway, it's a confidant." ”

"Your confidant must also be a very good person, and you have the opportunity to get to know each other together."

This is a good thing, but Lao Zhang has a bitter face: "He has a more withdrawn personality, he doesn't like to see people, and he recently encountered a problem, and he couldn't figure it out, so he locked himself in the room and pondered it...... He has a knot in his heart, and if he can't untie it, I'm afraid that he will wrap himself into it, and in the end it will be empty, so I want to ask you to help him. ”

Cheng Yubai became interested: "What is the problem?" ”

Lao Zhang didn't say anything, and looked straight at him. In the afternoon, the sun dissolves, and the sun makes people lazy, Cheng Yubai is mostly loose cotton and linen at home, leaning on the couch, smelling tea with one hand, and bending his knees with the other, and the whole is comfortable and comfortable. This posture is reflected in Lao Zhang's eyes, but he is on guard everywhere.

Cheng Yubai had a guess.

Lao Zhang seemed to have made up his mind, and finally said: "You also know this person, it is Zhao Yan." But I came to you on my own initiative, and he didn't know about it. ”

Cheng Yubai smiled.

It's really an acquaintance, a former opponent, and now an opponent of Baicai's reforms.

"Yibai, he has lived a very ...... years these years" To be honest, he is down-and-out, only saying that people are down-and-out behind his back, in the end he is not a gentleman, and Lao Zhang is unwilling to describe Zhao Qi like this, his throat choked, and then he spoke even more difficult, "I mentioned you to him before, and he refused." ”

Cheng Yubai already understood the unfinished meaning, and patted Lao Zhang's shoulder: "Drink tea first, it's cold and bitter." ”

Lao Zhang saw that his eyes were clear, and he didn't seem to take it to heart, and lowered his head to sip tea. Tea is good tea, but the heart is not here, and the sweetness is also bitter.

"His question, if you don't worry, you can tell me. If there is a solution, I will not be stingy. ”

Lao Zhang suddenly couldn't open his mouth.

Why is Zhao Qi full of ambition this time, he knows very well in his heart, Yibai is not stupid, he may not be able to guess, in case he says it, Yibai uses this matter to make an obstruction from it, wouldn't it trap Zhao Qi for injustice? In the end, he was reckless, Lao Zhang Meng got together, waved his hand and said, "Yibai, I still have something to do, go first." ”

Cheng Yubai saw that his feet were messy, and his eyes became colder.

"Lao Zhang, you don't believe me?"

Lao Zhang Buzi was stunned, not to believe him, but really how he is a person, everyone can see. In addition, the reform of Baicai is in it, and it is a situation that involves the whole body, and there is no room for mistakes.

"I'm white, I'm ......"

Cheng Yubai didn't make a sound, walked quickly to the table, wrote an ancient prescription with a pen, and handed it to Lao Zhang. At this moment, a dark cloud obscured the sun, the light dimmed, and the surrounding brightness seemed to be painted with a brushstroke.

He has always been deeply hidden, a pair of eyebrows are clear and serious, and there is a sudden sense of coolness in this extremely fast grayscale, like the stone statue of Tong Bin that a group of students who passed by the temple during the study tour.

Both light and dark.

"Give it to him, do you want to go with him?"

An ancient prescription, it shouldn't matter, right? Lao Zhang didn't understand it, the thin piece of paper had arrived in his hand, the dark clouds passed, the sky was warm again, Lao Zhang struggled again and again, and left with an inexplicable mood.

Cheng Yubai stood by the window for a long time, with a cigarette butt under his feet.

The time of the fourth seminar on Baicai's reform has been set, just next week, two days after the national exhibition, Zhu Rong intends to let him appear in front of international friends, wanting to extinguish the signs of Baicai's reform in one fell swoop.

When he got the results of the Moguan Cup in the afternoon, he was even more angry.

"Looking at us running to the hospital every day, we are flawless, so we are doing tricks behind our backs, right? Can you still save some face for yourself! What kind of champion is this, is the number of votes transparent? How could it be him? ”

After Xiaopang woke up, some relevant media found the hospital to try to interview the fat couple, where did the fat man encounter this kind of thing, he was so anxious that he had to ask Cheng Yubai for help. Cheng Yubai has also been running in the hospital for the past two days, but he didn't expect Zhu Rong to take advantage of the heat of Internet public opinion to push the Moguan Cup to a new high again, the voting channel of the online track was closed, and the background data should be emptied.

Now it's too late to check the number of votes, and what they get is a report card that has already been announced.

The failure of "Butterfly Change" is an expected result. Although "shelling" plagiarized the "butterfly change", it broke through the barrier of "concept is greater than function", and after improvement, it is closer to practicality, which is enough to prove that "butterfly change" is not a qualified daily instrument, and it is also unconvincing in the art track.

Luo Wenwen's group discussion once again locked the protagonist on Xu Qing, first flashy, then a million bubbles, and now the Moguan Cup has suffered Waterloo again, and it is a certainty that there is no real name.

The god who was once out of reach was lost overnight.

It wasn't enough for Xia Yang to crack the keyboard, seeing that the more the people on the other side talked, the more outrageous they became, one got up, picked up the keyboard and smashed it at his feet and scolded: "It's endless, isn't it?" Isn't it just a competition, telling you that there is nothing in the sky and the earth, and if you have the ability, you can also go and get a championship for me to see? Guys who can't reach the threshold, and don't pee according to their own virtues, how can they be qualified to judge others? ”

"Xia Yang, are you sick? The mouth grows on me, I can say whatever I want, it's your business? ”

"I know yin and yang all day long, I don't look good, can't I?"

"Neurotic, I think you are the brainless boss who blows, Ren Jiangyi is a little girl, she knows whether to help her relatives or not, you live like a cultist."

"Why did you bother me?"

Luo Wenwen began to implement the competitive elimination system, "boiled away" two designers in a month, the first three group leaders went crazy, and the scene of suicide on the top floor is still vivid, Jiang Yi can't lose that face, and he is determined to occupy a place in a small and beautiful design company.

The failure of "Butterfly Change" once again proves the curse of the "million bubble" in the designer industry, even if it is a celebrity who slaughters unicorns.

Xu Qing became a model and proved to them that there is no eternal god for designers.

In other words, everyone has a chance to catch up.

"With this spare time, it is better to take two more orders." Jiang Yi didn't take it to heart, and was about to turn it off at a glance, but suddenly made a move and enlarged the champion work, "Huh? It's ......"

"What?" Liang Mei came up from the side and suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Brother Fan? ”

"Who?!" Xia Yang raised his voice, "Liao Yifan? ”

The three pairs of eyes almost stared at the name under the champion work "Autumn Mountain" out of the hole, and only then did they dare to believe that the champion was really Liao Yifan. Previously, the attention was on "Butterfly Change", and I didn't pay attention to the author of "Autumn Mountain", but now when I shouted, everyone gathered.

"Is it a new work in the engraved line series?"

"Yes, this texture looks like a carved line series."

The engraved line series pays attention to the sense of line, which is Liao Yifan's original series, and it is also his famous masterpiece. "Autumn Mountain" adopts the autumn color tone, maple leaf silhouette, intended to reflect the natural beauty of the tea can, the use of roasted tea and the flowing lines of the mountain spring, in order to achieve the quiet beauty of the silence, coupled with the exquisite design, the handle of the can lid imitates the maple leaf rhizome, made of pure logs, and there is no lack of original tension, and the quiet also breeds wildness, and the autumn is not lacking in vitality.

It's a masterpiece at first glance.

In fact, Liao Yifan's engraved line series is not much, there are only a few pieces in a few years, the amount is small and fine, and the reputation is very good, Liao Yifan has never taken this series of works to participate in the competition, of course, everyone is happy to win, not to mention smashing the signboard if he loses, but also to fall into the mouth, coupled with the internal review of the Moguan Cup, Xu Qing got Gu Yan's preferential treatment, and escorted all the way to the finals, and the possibility of winning awards under these premises is very small.

Coincidentally, this time the Moguan Cup suddenly opened the online track, allowing the majority of netizens to participate in the voting election, and "Akiyama" had a chance to stand out, otherwise it would be mostly a stone sinking into the sea, but even so, Liao Yifan was willing to take a risk, which shows that he is really desperate.

Xia Yang's brain was active, and he turned quickly: "Cut, it's not that the blind cat has met a dead mouse, it's a coincidence." People are not very good, but luck is good, this time he can be proudly killed. ”

"What do you mean? What does it mean to be lucky? Akiyama is more than 800 times better than the butterfly at a glance, Brother Fan fought his way out of the encirclement with his strength, what are you sour? ”

Jiang Yi had a headache when he opened his mouth, Xia Yang knew that this time it was indeed "Autumn Mountain" who was better, but he lacked confidence, so he only glared at her, and shrank back to his seat.

Jiang Yi still didn't spare him: "Why don't you keep quiet?" At the beginning, she used the butterfly change to squeeze Brother Fan down to qualify for the Moguan Cup, if Brother Fan came out of Qiushan at that time, how could it be her turn? Look at Brother Fan's pattern, and then look at her, she has to grab everything, a small family spirit. ”

Previously, Liao Yifan went to the factory to see Xu Qing and used her as a disguise, she has always felt uncomfortable, this time she found an exit and justified the name of the male god in her mind, the whole person immediately relaxed, and opened her teeth and claws, "Obviously took a shortcut, a good hand of cards is still played poorly, who is superior and who is inferior, you still haven't understood yet?" ”

"Don't get cheap and sell well, have you forgotten what groups you are?"

"I have one thing to say, and I don't need to please anyone."

"Stop arguing."

There were still people whispering in the office area first, and suddenly it quieted down, Liang Mei noticed that something was wrong, and immediately silenced her, pulled Jiang Yi, and went to pull Xia Yang again.

The two looked up and saw that Xu Qingzheng came out of the pantry and met Liao Yifan in the aisle.
