Seeing her unrepentant attitude, Qi Hao felt annoyed. "You woman are disgusting. I am Chu Chu's brother. If you bully her, it is naturally my business."

Hearing him say that, Nanzhi chuckled, "Brother?"

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Lian Chuchu, who was bowing her head and remaining silent. "When did Miss Lian get a brother with the surname Qi? Should I ask Lian Jin to confirm?"

Lian Chuchu: "......."

She quickly explained:

"No, Junior Sister Nan, it's because Brother Qi Hao is very kind to me that I've come to recognize him as my brother."

Nan Zhi: "Oh, I see."

Then, she looked at Qi Hao and said, "Do you know Miss Lian's family? Do you know her as a person? Do you know the truth of the matter? Yet you come here to question us."

"The main thing is, you say I'm disgusting, but you're a grown man coming to a girl's place at night, which makes you even more disgusting than me."

Nan Zhi was always quick-witted, and her words made Qi Hao blush. He had been so focused on getting justice for Chu Chu that he had forgotten that this was a girl's residence.

Looking back now, it was indeed inappropriate.

"Nan, don't say that. It's just that my brother was worried about me being alone, so he brought me back."

Even Chu Chu was anxiously defending Qi Hao, her expression completely genuine.

"Now that the person has been delivered, can you leave?"

Nan Zhi turned her gaze to Qi Hao. "We need to rest. Mr. Qi, please go back. Don't disturb my mood for the competition. It's really annoying."

She had no connection with Qi Hao, but after hearing Lian Chuchu's side of the story, he went to her to advocate for Lian Chuchu and even hurled insults at her. It was already a favor that Nan Zhi didn't take action.

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's easy to bully.

"you......."

Just as Qi Hao was about to say something more to Nan Zhi, Lian Chuchu stopped him. She looked up and smiled as she spoke:

"Brother, it's late now. You should go back and get some rest. You have a competition tomorrow."

Seeing the pleading look in Lian Chuchu's eyes, Qi Hao could only nod in the end, thinking that Chuchu was doing it for him.

So he said goodbye to Lian Chuchu and left.

He had just left when Lian Chuchu was about to speak: "Nan..."

"Ugh, so annoying! Aren't you tired of pretending like this every time? Weren't you just criticizing me an hour ago?"

Nan Zhi propped her head up, looked up at Lian Chuchu with impatience, and continued:

"Please stop trying to get my attention. If you're sick, go see a doctor, okay? I really don't want anything to do with you, and I don't like comparing myself to you. Could you please leave this poor little thing alone?"

Nan Zhi's words left no room for maneuver, and Lian Chuchu stood there stunned. This was the first time she had faced Nan Zhi like this. She exuded an aura of irritability, and her dark eyes stared at her as if she were being watched by something terrifying, which made Lian Chuchu feel a sense of panic.

Fortunately, after saying these words, Nan Zhi stood up and turned to walk towards her bedroom.

An Ran stared at Nan Zhi in disbelief. It was simply amazing! How could she be so incredible?

Then she looked at Lian Chuchu and snorted coldly:

"Now you heard me, right? Don't bring Nanzhi along all the time. She doesn't want to have anything to do with you."

After saying that, she didn't care what Lian Chuchu thought and went straight back to her bedroom.

Lian Chuchu stood there, clenching her fists tightly. "Then why did you provoke me in the first place? It's clearly Nan Zhi's fault. Why does she act so high and mighty?"

Nanzhi got up at seven o'clock the next morning. The competition was from eight-thirty in the morning to one-thirty in the afternoon. These five hours would be very difficult. Even if there was no inspiration, she could only sit in her seat and rack her brains. She could go to the toilet if she wanted, but she would be monitored the whole time.

Upon seeing Lian Chuchu, she continued to greet Nan Zhi as if nothing had happened, but Nan Zhi completely ignored her. Nan Zhi truly admired Lian Chuchu's shamelessness.

Everyone ate a large breakfast, and five hours is indeed a tight schedule for designers when designing clothes.

Upon arriving at the association, we were assigned to exam rooms for every thirty people, according to the national allocation system.

So Nam-chi and the others were in the same examination room. Each examination room had three invigilators to prevent cheating. There was also a supervisor for those who wanted to go to the toilet. Therefore, there were both men and women among the three invigilators.

Nanzhi found her seat, and the proctor distributed ten sheets of design paper, as well as colored pens, pencils, erasers, and document bags and seals, all provided by the proctor.

The theme was also determined by drawing lots.

Nanzhi drew "peony," the name of a flower.

She pondered for a long time. At this moment, she realized the lessons that Teacher Qianmu had taught her: to observe and use her own eyes to see things that others could not see.

Fortunately, she had observed these flowers before.

But today's peony gave her a new idea.

After a long while, Nanzhi picked up her pen and began to draw with complete focus.

The clock on the wall ticked away, but Nan Zhi's inspiration grew stronger and clearer.

She only regretted that there wasn't enough time, and in the end, she barely managed to finish the tenth drawing.

"Time's up. Put your design drafts into a file bag, seal it, and write your name and nationality on it carefully."

The teacher had already distributed the file folders in advance, and they all sealed their design drawings into the folders.

Most people still had several blank sheets of paper left, while others had used them all up.

But unlike Nanzhi, they made a mistake, so they wasted one or two sheets of paper.

That's why Nam Gyi didn't attract much attention.

"Ah, it's finally over. I'm sure I was just a bystander."

An Ran stretched and felt like she had finally come back to life. Nan Zhi smiled and glanced at her, "Don't forget that we're going to be broadcasting our work live to the whole world the day after tomorrow."

The competition will be broadcast live the day after tomorrow, just like the creative competition.

Upon hearing this, An Ran's face immediately fell. "If that's the case, won't I be laughed at by the whole world?"

"No, it's already quite an achievement to be able to participate in this competition."

Cheng Yi chuckled gently and spoke.

Behind them followed Lian Chuchu and Qi Hao. Lian Chuchu stepped forward and called out:

"Nan, Anran, you guys..."

But the two seemed not to hear, and continued walking forward, causing Chu Chu to lower her head in grievance.

"Hey, didn't you hear Chu Chu calling you?"

Qi Hao was furious and chased after them, blocking their way.

Nanzhi and Anran exchanged a glance; they were truly haunted.

"Really? I didn't hear it."

Nan Zhi said nonchalantly, and An Ran nodded, "I didn't hear it either."

Qi Hao: "......"
