Chapter 28 Confession

The lights on the stage flickered.

Qi Jinzhou took the trophy with an expressionless face and presented it to Jiang Ning.

She smiled at him like a bright sunflower.

But only he knew that Jiang Ning was as dark as a flower from hell.

She stood side by side with him for the photo.

During the host's questioning session, "Jiangning, can you tell us how the concept for your award-winning work came about?"

At this time, Qi Jinzhou had already walked down the stage.

Jiang Ning took the microphone with a smile, "Actually, this is a photo I took accidentally. I sculpted the body of a mature man, and his body meets our aesthetic standards for a strong and robust body. I feel that people's current aesthetic standards for men are too feminine, so I hope to present a work about male strength and the expansion of hormones, in order to guide people's normal aesthetic concepts."

The host led the applause and continued, "Okay, we've whetted everyone's appetite. Now, please let Jiang Ning bring out her work and let everyone see this human wood sculpture."

Jiang Ning secretly curled his lips and looked at Qi Jinzhou in the audience and Jiang Yunyun who was sitting behind Qi Jinzhou.

Her eyes darkened.

This time, she also wants Jiang Yunyun to feel anxious.

After Jiang Ning took out her wood carvings, she discovered that her wood carvings had been secretly replaced.

This wood carving is very similar to the one he made, but the face is not Qi Jinzhou's at all.

Jiang Ning's face froze, and he secretly looked at Qi Jinzhou below the stage. He looked indifferent and calm, and there was even a hint of contempt and complacency in his eyes.

It must have been him.

Seeing Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment, the host thought she was nervous and said, "Let's give Jiang Ning more applause."

Jiang Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to introduce his creative ideas.

…

After the award ceremony, Jiang Ning was in a very depressed mood.

As she was packing her things and walking towards the dormitory, Zhou Qi caught up with her and kept asking her, "Xiao Ning, your carving is really good. Who is that sculpture of? Is it your friend? And it's a boy. Why haven't I seen him before?"

Jiang Ning felt depressed when he thought about this matter. When was the baby swapped by Qi Jinzhou?

She didn't answer Zhou Qi's question, "Senior Zhou, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Zhou Qi was stunned and realized that Jiang Ning had not seen him for a few days and his attitude towards him was very cold.

Zhou Qi was a little angry and stopped her, "Jiang Ning, are you angry with me?"

Jiang Ning looked at him calmly, "No."

"Then why didn't you reply to the message I sent you some time ago?"

Jiang Ning was a little annoyed, "I was too busy at the time and didn't have time."

"How about we go out for dinner tonight? I have something to tell you."

Jiang Ning's patience was almost exhausted. She wanted to settle the score with Qi Jinzhou. "I'm not free tonight. If you have anything to say, just say it now."

Zhou Qi found that she didn't look into his eyes when she spoke, and he was very angry. "Jiang Ning, can you look into my eyes when you speak? Do you have someone you like?"

Jiang Ning looked at Qi Jinzhou and Jiang Yunyun walking side by side under the shade of trees in the distance. Her plan had failed, and instead of angering Jiang Yunyun, she felt she had been tricked by Qi Jinzhou.

hateful.

She couldn't help but feel angry. "What does it have to do with you if I have someone I like? Stop pestering me. I said, I'm going back to the dormitory."

Zhou Qi's heart was a little panicked. He hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist. "How is it not related to me? Jiang Ning, I want to tell you something. I like you."

Jiang Ning was slightly stunned, "What did you just say?"

"I said, I like you, Jiang Ning."

Jiang Ning looked at Zhou Qi. Because she had walked too fast just now, her face was a little flushed and she was sweating slightly.

"Senior Zhou, I just treat you as a friend."

She felt that this was a polite refusal.

Zhou Qi saw through her secrets and asked, "Who is the person you like? Is he from our school? Is he the person you carved?"

"It's none of your business."

Jiang Ning wanted to pull her wrist away, but Zhou Qi refused to let go. She looked at the person walking towards her, her face gradually getting colder. At this moment, she didn't want to see Qi Jinzhou and Jiang Yunyun in the same frame.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yunyun saw her and greeted her with a smile.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to stay where he was and wait for the two of them to come over.

She whispered, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Zhou Qi also stood there, looking at the two people walking over.

Jiang Yunyun glanced at their hands and looked at Zhou Qi with gossip in her eyes. "Hello, classmate. I'm Jiang Ning's sister. What's your name?"

Zhou Qi gave his name politely.

Jiang Ning wanted to leave and tried hard to pull his hand free, but Zhou Qi was as strong as a bull and refused to let go.

Jiang Ning didn't want to lose his temper because Jiang Yunyun and Qi Jinzhou were also in front of him, but he couldn't help it and lowered his voice, "Let go, I want to go back to the dormitory."

Zhou Qi didn't care about the presence of others. He didn't want to lose this opportunity, so he whispered, "Ningning, do you want to be my girlfriend? I've already confessed to you. Please at least give me a response."

Jiang Ning's face flushed red. "What nonsense are you talking about? I... I've always treated you as a friend, Senior Zhou. I don't have that kind of feelings for you."

Jiang Ning broke free from Zhou Qi's hand and ran away.

Jiang Yunyun covered her mouth and smiled, then said to Zhou Qi, "I think Ningning still likes you. She was shy just now. Look how red her face is."

Zhou Qi was originally quite disappointed, but when he heard Jiang Yunyun say this, his eyes lit up, "Really? Did Ningning really mean that?"

"I'm Ningning's sister, how could I not understand her? Young girls are bound to be shy, but don't give up. Come on. Young man, I believe in you. It takes some effort for a man to pursue a girl."

Zhou Qi scratched his head embarrassedly.

Qi Jinzhou's eyes were cold. He looked at his watch and reminded Jiang Yunyun beside him, "Uncle and aunt are still waiting for us to go back."

Jiang Yunyun had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhou Qi and got in the car. Jiang Yunyun sat in the passenger seat, and Qi Jinzhou drove to take Jiang Yunyun home and have dinner.

"Jinzhou, do you think that boy surnamed Zhou can win over Ningning? He looks much more handsome than Qin Xuan."

There was no emotion in Qi Jinzhou's eyes. He just smiled faintly without making any comment.

Jiang Ning did not go home, but chose to lie on the bed in the dormitory.

She took out her phone and typed a message. When Qi Jinzhou arrived at the Jiang family, the message came in—[Brother-in-law, you are happy, right? You did all this, right? Where did you hide my original wood carvings?]

Qi Jinzhou took out his cell phone and took a look. Jiang Yunyun next to him also saw a message coming in on his WeChat, but because of the privacy settings, she could not see the specific content of the message.

She saw Qi Jinzhou click in, took a careful look, then left without replying.

Jiang Yunyun asked, "Who sent this message that you're reading so carefully?"
