Chapter 53 Ocean
Pei Xiangwan's seat returned to its former tranquility, but not completely.
Because Qiao Yanxin was like a fly flying back and forth, making constant noise, and was worth more than a dozen people.
"Just agree to go! Okay! Just agree to go. This is my new bar! How can you not come?"
Pei Xiangwan rubbed his sore temples. "I told you, I don't like places like bars."
"You obviously liked it before!"
"That was before..."
She refused, so Qiao Yanxin kept talking and talking, like Tang Monk chanting sutras, trying to chant Pei Xiangwan to death.
In the end, Pei Xiangwan couldn't stand it anymore and had to agree.
"Okay, okay, I will go tonight, but I will only be in for a while and then leave. You are not allowed to stop me."
Qiao Yanxin patted Pei Xiangwan on the shoulder and said, "You must! I guarantee it. You just need to go and take a look. You can leave whenever you want."
Pei Xiangwan smiled helplessly and continued doing her own thing. She had almost prepared her entry for the Extreme Spirit competition.
She remembered that Ning Xuemo's winning entry was a black snake wrapped around the neck. In this world, there was no such design. Her advantage was unique...novel.
But Pei Xiangwan didn't think his design would lose this time...
Suddenly a girl walked in and shouted.
"Pei Xiangwan, Ning Xuemo, the teacher wants you to go to the office."
"Okay." Pei Xiangwan put down the things in her hands and stood up. There was no expression on her face.
On the contrary, Ning Xuemo was different. When she heard Pei Xiangwan's name in it, her face turned ashen.
She knew better than anyone what day it was and why Pei Xiangwan's name was on the list. It was obvious that Teacher Ling had only allowed her to go to the Youth Designer Competition.
No, no, no, she was overthinking it. Maybe Teacher Ling was looking for Pei Xiangwan for something else, and she should be the one who knows everything.
On the way to the office, the two were very far apart, as if there was a river between them. If Ning Xuemo took a step forward, she would fall into the river and drown.
Pei Xiangwan walked very quickly. She wanted to arrive early and go back early. She had been with Ning Xuemo for too long and the smell of the air had changed.
She raised her hand and knocked on the office door.
"Enter."
Pei Xiangwan looked on politely as the teacher sitting on the chair called out, "Teacher Ling."
Ling Hong looked at Pei Xiangwan with a smile and said, "Here she is." Then she looked behind Pei Xiangwan and said, "Where's Ning Xuemo?"
Not long after, Ning Xuemo walked in. "Teacher Ling."
Ling Hong nodded and said, "Since you are here, I will tell you the purpose of my visit this time." She opened the drawer and took out two dark blue papers.
"This is this year's Youth Design Competition. I feel it's a great opportunity and will be helpful for your future. Your teachers are aware of your abilities, so I hope you'll participate. If you don't want to go, that's fine too...it's your choice."
Pei Xiangwan stretched out her hands and took the dark blue paper. "Thank you, Teacher Ling."
"Thank you...Teacher Ling..." Ning Xuemo's hands were shaking when she took it.
One becomes two... One becomes two...
Ning Xuemo couldn't hear the sounds around her clearly, she only knew that Pei Xiangwan was becoming scary again.
She wants to find that person, and only she can help her.
When Qiao Yanxin saw Pei Xiangwan coming back, she immediately approached and asked, "What's going on? Why did the teacher suddenly come to look for you and that Ning?"
Pei Xiangwan replied, "The teacher wants Ning Moxue and I to participate in the competition."
Qiao Yanxin tilted her head, looked at the paper, and read, "Youth Design Competition, Ocean... Xiangwan, do you want to participate?"
………
The white clouds were blown away by gusts of wind, which was like a glass scraper, scraping away the clear blue sky. As it kept scraping hard, the sky gradually darkened.
The black desk accompanied Pei Xiangwan, helping her to hold up the tablet so that Pei Xiangwan could draw.
Sometimes when it feels sleepy, it will make a creaking sound, which means it is yawning.
But even if it is sleepy and tired, Pei Xiangwan is still full of energy and never gets tired of it.
The painting process was not going smoothly, and Pei Xiangwan always felt that something was missing.
"Blue ocean...blue...conch." She said as she turned the capacitive stylus in her hand.
The vibration of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts, and Pei Xiangwan grabbed the phone on the table.
Qiao Yanxin's urging voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiang Wan! Why aren't you coming yet? I've been waiting for you."
"I understand." Fatigue suddenly swept over his body, and Pei Xiangwan collapsed in the chair.
It was a long time before she got up from the chair, put on a simple white sweater, white jeans, and shoes, and hurried out the door.
She didn't even have time to take off the hair that she had pinned up while drawing, or the silver-framed glasses she was wearing. She always felt that if she went too late, something bad would happen.
The purple light made everything outside the door look eerie. Before she even stepped inside, Pei Xiangwan could smell cigarette smoke mixed with alcohol, drifting into her nose.
Pei Xiangwan endured the discomfort and walked in slowly. The smell and deafening music were like countless ghost hands, controlling everyone here to shake their bodies.
They poured wine into each other's mouths, and the wine secretly slipped out from the corners of their mouths. Under the colorful lights, it was impossible to see the color of the dripping wine.
Suddenly, someone grabbed Pei Xiangwan's wrist and asked, "Would you like a drink?" Then she tried to put the glass to Pei Xiangwan's lips.
Pei Xiangwan immediately pushed the woman away and shouted angrily, "Don't touch me!"
"Tsk... She looks okay, but why is she so boring?" After throwing down these words, the woman left tactfully.
Pei Xiangwan angrily patted the place where he was caught.
Where is that damn Qiao Yanxin? She keeps saying "go inside, go inside", but how come I haven't seen her yet?
The bright light made Pei Xiangwan's eyes feel uncomfortable. Qiao Yanxin happened to have not been waiting for Pei Xiangwan, and just as she came out, she ran into Pei Xiangwan who was standing there in a daze.
"Xiang Wan, let's go. It's just in front. I was wondering why you hadn't come yet, so I came out to take a look. I didn't expect you to be so close. What are you looking at?"
Because the music was too loud, Qiao Yanxin could only lean close to Pei Xiangwan's ear to prevent the other party from hearing clearly.
"Well, nothing, let's go." She just wanted to go back early.
She followed Qiao Yanxin through the crowd, and before they knew it, they had reached the deepest part, where there was a door. Qiao Yanxin quickly opened the door.
Pei Xiangwan's arrival made the happy people in the room become silent and dull, and the music also stopped.
Qiao Yanxin broke the silence and said, "What are you all doing? Haven't you seen Pei Xiangwan before? Why do you all have such expressions?"
As soon as the words came out, there was a scream, and the woman said in surprise.
"What... Pei Xiangwan..." She actually dressed so casually. She usually dressed like a colorful peacock, as if she could spread her feathers whenever she caught a beautiful woman.
Not only her, but everyone else widened their eyes, looking at each other. The atmosphere was inexplicably frozen and very awkward.
