Xia Zhichu glared at him with resentment. She was really innocent in Gu Bai's matter, okay? Besides, the feelings belonged to him, and there was nothing she could do if he liked her.

Seeing the aggrieved expression on the little woman's face, Si Mochen sighed helplessly in his heart, and then wrote a sentence on her palm with his fingers.

Although his palms were itching, Xia Zhichu still felt what was being said.

"I'll deal with you when I get home tonight."

This really makes people think a lot.

Xia Zhichu still feels weak in the legs whenever he thinks about the ridiculous night last night.

"Teacher is right, my wife is so outstanding that even the animals outside are vying to catch up with her." This was really insidious, and Gu Bai had unknowingly become a member of the cat and dog family.

Xia Zhichu gave the man a thumbs up in his heart. His sharp tongue skills were as good as anyone else's.

Teacher Tang Sen was also a little embarrassed. As a man, he could naturally see that Si Mochen was a possessive person, so he did not continue the topic and went straight to the point to discuss Xia Zhichu's design draft.

"I have read Mrs. Si's work several times. It is truly a work of God's choosing. It has touched my heart so deeply."

Tang Sen did not hide his admiration at all and praised Xia Zhichu a lot. Even when he talked about the work "Infidelity", there was a glint in his eyes.

Although Xia Zhichu was not good at understanding people's minds, he still saw something from Teacher Tang Sen's eyes.

This is a man with a story.

Xia Zhichu thought.

"My wife has always wanted to withdraw from the Milan Fashion Show because she believes that her current success is all due to my backdoor. So this time, I want to ask the teacher to do justice and explain everything to my wife in person."

Si Mochen also stated his purpose.

But before he could say this, Townsend slapped his thigh and said, "What? It's been so many days, and you still can't figure out how to withdraw from the Milan Fashion Show?"

Xia Zhichu briefly explained the situation and the reasons for his withdrawal, but was met with a stern lecture from Teacher Tang Sen. "What backdoor? At Tang Sen, all shortlisted works are judged fairly and impartially. Even if Xiaochen abuses his power to try to bribe the judges, I, Tang Sen, will not allow it."

"As for Mrs. Si's work, it captured my heart at first sight. I personally approved it as a shortlisted piece. There was no backdoor involved at all."

"Of course, I've said this before. If 'Derailed' were to withdraw from the competition, I would never appear on the judging panel again."

Teacher Thomson said the last sentence in a very serious tone.

Xia Zhichu could see that Teacher Tang Sen had a strong obsession with her work, which made her curious as to why her work could touch the teacher's heart and why he even withdrew his qualification for her work and planned to give up being a judge.

"Teacher, may I ask why you are so optimistic about my work? In my opinion, the work of other designers is not bad either. The key is that they are all excellent designers with qualifications and awards. On the contrary, I am just an inexperienced newcomer, but I am fortunate enough to receive your recognition. I want to know why."

This doubt has troubled Xia Zhichu for several days.

It is said that design comes from the soul. Every work is infused with the designer's inspiration and real experience, and can finally take shape and be recognized by others.

Xia Zhichu's work started as a dream, but unexpectedly became what Professor Tang Sen called a "chosen work".

For some reason, she had a feeling that the theme of "Infidelity" might be the reason why Mr. Thomson valued her so much.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he asked this question, Teacher Thomson's originally bright eyes turned dim.

He suddenly stood up without a word and left the living room, then went into a room opposite.

Xia Zhichu thought he had said something wrong and looked at Si Mochen with guilt. "I think my question has touched upon something that is bothering Mr. Tang Sen. What should I do?"

Seeing her anxious look, Si Mochen held her hand and comforted her, "Teacher Tang Sen must have experienced all kinds of hardships in life to reach his current status and position. I don't think he will blame you for this."

"Really? But he left without saying anything."

Xia Zhichu didn't think so. She was not as open-minded as Si Mochen, or she had been sensitive since she was a child and was easily overthinking.

Because of Teacher Thomson's silent departure, she felt deeply guilty.

"Hey, he's out!"

Seeing the depressed look on the little woman's face, Si Mochen was about to say something to comfort her, but when he looked up, he saw Teacher Tang Sen walking out of the room with a work of art.

When Teacher Thomson came closer, Xia Zhichu could clearly see the content. It turned out to be the masterpiece—

"Wild Rose".

"Mrs. Si, I can't answer your question right away, but first take a look at this piece of my work. What story can you tell?"

Teacher Tang Sen placed the work in front of Xia Zhichu.

Xia Zhichu didn't understand his intention at first, but soon began to observe the work.

I admired this work when I was in college, and my first reaction was: Wow, it’s so beautiful!

Her youthful ignorance did not allow her to overthink the design concept of the work.

But now, as a designer, Xia Zhichu looks at this work from a professional perspective.

In fact, Teacher Thomson’s work is very simple. It is an unusual design of a black wedding dress, with only a red rose added to the hem, which is the origin of the theme "Wild Rose".

I couldn't see the details before because it was a photo, but now that Xia Zhichu is looking at it up close, he can see the special features of the wedding dress design.

The neckline of the wedding dress is designed with buttons, and only one button supports the entire wedding dress, which is sexy and seductive.

Think about it, when the bride puts on this wedding dress and walks into the bridal chamber with the groom, the groom only needs to gently hook up the button to enjoy the bride's unique beauty.

This work actually reveals the instincts of human nature and can even be said to challenge human ethics.

The most distinctive feature is that the belly button is hollowed out and inlaid with a black butterfly.

This design is surprisingly similar to Xia Zhichu's "Derailment".

After Xia Zhichu appreciated the work, he didn't understand it at first, but after slowly savoring it and even associating it with his own design concept, he suddenly understood it a little.

"Teacher, did you let your wife wear this wedding dress?"

Teacher Tang Sen just said that when he was young, he had a fight with his love rival for his teacher's wife. Xia Zhichu's first reaction was that the design inspiration of this wedding dress came from Teacher Tang Sen's wife.

Not wanting to ask this question out loud, Teacher Thomson shook his head dejectedly.

Seeing this, Xia Zhichu probably knew the answer, but since this involved Teacher Tang Sen's emotional issues, Xia Zhichu did not say it clearly.
