Chapter 223: Who is lying?
Although Xie Zhaoyuan said that she had not forgiven Shen Yanhui yet, in her heart she actually already considered Shen Yanhui a friend.
Shen Yanhui is a poor person. Xie Zhaoyuan has no way to help her complete the task, so he can only try his best to earn some favor points for her to alleviate the pain she is suffering.
"Zheng Liyuan is a friend of Shen Yanhui." Xie Zhaoyuan revealed the incident, "Zheng Liyuan came to Zhuyuan Technology because Shen Yanhui introduced him."
“…”
Pei Xingzhi in the video suddenly fell silent. He looked at Xie Zhaoyuan, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"The modeler Shen Yanhui said he would introduce to me in the hospital before was Zheng Liyuan?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: “Yes.”
"Oh..." Pei Xingzhi nodded, his expression showing no emotion, "So, after I sternly drove Shen Yanhui away, you still accepted Shen Yanhui's charity behind my back."
"…This is not charity." Xie Zhaoyuan frowned and lied to Pei Xingzhi seriously, "Didn't Shen Yanhui and I make a deal? I used three design drafts in exchange for her doing three things for me. Originally, I wanted to coax her into giving me Zheng Liyuan's contact information by giving her food and gifts. But she was very smart, and she remained unmoved even after I lied to her for a long time. I had no choice but to use a design draft in exchange for Zheng Liyuan."
"..." Pei Xingzhi listened to her quietly without answering a single word.
She licked her lips, her eyes inexplicably a little guilty: "Zheng Liyuan is not a charity from Shen Yanhui, but a talent I exchanged for my design draft! I can sell a design draft for five figures, Shen Yanhui can make a fortune!"
“……” Pei Xingzhi stared at her without saying a word.
She couldn't stand being stared at by Pei Xingzhi. She felt weak in her heart and couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts -
What happened? Wasn't she right in that little lie she just told? But Shen Yan replied that this was how she explained their deal to Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi believed it at that time, so what is he doubting now?
Was it because her expression was too guilty that aroused Pei Xingzhi's suspicion? Or is Pei Xingzhi still unable to accept the person introduced by Shen Yanhui?
Xie Zhaoyuan's mind was working rapidly, and in just a few seconds, he imagined several possibilities.
And Pei Xingzhi finally spoke at this time.
"Ayuan, why does Shen Yanhui want your design draft so much?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "Of course it's because my design draft is so good! Shen Yanhui said that she likes my design style very much and has bought several sets of jewelry designed by me. Putting aside those conflicts and grudges, Shen Yanhui is simply my little fan girl!"
"Isn't it normal for a little fangirl to want her idol's design?"
"..." Pei Xingzhi raised his eyebrows as if he was about to smile, and then stopped talking.
Xie Zhaoyuan was a little panicked by his silence, and had no choice but to lose his temper to cover up his panic.
"Pei Xingzhi, what do you mean? Isn't my design draft worthy of Shen Yanhui's fascination with me?"
Pei Xingzhi smiled and said, "Of course it matches. Ayuan's design is the most unique one I've ever seen. It's normal for Shen Yanhui to be fascinated by it."
Xie Zhaoyuan glared at him unhappily: "If it's normal, then why do you keep your mouth shut and don't say anything?"
"..." Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and chuckled, with a strange look flashing across his eyes.
"No reason." He blinked, and his smile suddenly deepened. "I was just being quiet to tease Ayuan. What's wrong? Is Ayuan nervous?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: “…”
"You are so boring!" She said something harsh to Pei Xingzhi, but she was obviously relieved.
Pei Xingzhi reached out and touched her head through the screen, coaxing her softly, "Of course I'm bored when Ayuan is not around, so I want to tease Ayuan for fun. Ayuan, don't be angry, okay?"
"Hmph!" Xie Zhaoyuan glared at him fiercely and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
He coaxed Xie Zhaoyuan gently and patiently for a long time in the video, and promised to let Xie Zhaoyuan sleep with his abdominal muscles in his hands tonight, and only then did Xie Zhaoyuan reluctantly calm down.
"I'll forgive you for now!" Xie Zhaoyuan tapped the screen with his finger, and finally there was a smile on his face.
Pei Xingzhi: "Thank you, Ayuan, for forgiving me."
"By the way, Ayuan, how long did it take you to study jewelry design to reach the level you are today?" Pei Xingzhi asked casually.
Xie Zhaoyuan buried her head in playing games. Because Pei Xingzhi's tone was so relaxed and natural, she was not on guard at all.
“I studied for about six years.”
Pei Xingzhi: "It took so long, so Ayuan must have studied very hard and seriously."
Xie Zhaoyuan didn't look up: "Of course I'm serious, but it's not that hard. I like jewelry design, so I'm mostly happy learning it."
Six years...
Study hard...
Pei Xingzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time suddenly rolled and expanded.
Xie Zhaoyuan said that she had studied jewelry design seriously for six years, but Shen Yanhui said that Xie Zhaoyuan was a talented contestant and had mastered it in less than four years after learning it in bits and pieces.
Their statements are completely different. Who is telling the truth?
Or, are both of them lying?
Pei Xingzhi was full of confusion, but he had no idea how to solve it.
"Pei Xingzhi, I suddenly have an idea."
Xie Zhaoyuan snapped his fingers and suddenly spoke excitedly.
Pei Xingzhi came back to his senses instantly and looked at her with a smile: "What new idea did Ah Yuan come up with?"
Xie Zhaoyuan: "I am now a popular internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers. If I can draw some secondary artwork for the four male protagonists in the game during the closed beta test of Love Law, wouldn't that be a good help in promoting your game?"
Pei Xingzhi: "Good idea! Second creation is one of the best ways to get out of the circle. If Ayuan can draw second creation pictures for the four male protagonists, the popularity of the Love Law will definitely increase."
“I’ll draw now!”
Xie Zhaoyuan didn't waste any time and immediately picked up another tablet at hand to start drawing.
"Ayuan." Pei Xingzhi suddenly called her.
"Ah?" She looked up at Pei Xingzhi.
Pei Xingzhi smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Ayuan. The internal test has just begun. It won't be too late to draw after you are out of confinement."
"You haven't slept well these past few days, so don't bother drawing. Just take a good rest first."
"No need!" Xie Zhaoyuan was very energetic and didn't look like he hadn't slept well at all.
She waved her hand casually and immediately opened the drawing software.
"I've been idle at home every day, so my spirit has been well-maintained. Drawing is not a problem at all. This is also my first time drawing a character design. I'm looking forward to the finished product!"
Xie Zhaoyuan likes to try new things. After saying this, she started writing eagerly.
He was humming a little tune while moving.
Pei Xingzhi listened to her moans and looked at her fingers slightly curled up due to excitement, and he suddenly felt disappointed.
Forget it, he thought, as long as Xie Zhaoyuan was happy, he wouldn't care so much.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false, what matters most is that Xie Zhaoyuan is happy.
