Chapter 282 Difficult to deal with
"Put on your clothes and don't catch a cold. When you're almost done, send me a message and I'll pick you up." Mo Chen put his coat on Rongyue.
Rongyue wore Mo Chen's clothes like a child wearing adult clothes, but she had to wear them to keep out the cold and hide the marks on her shoulders. After watching the sunrise and resting in the car, the two of them didn't have time to rush home and came straight to school.
Mo Chen stopped Rong Yue who was about to leave and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I just want you to be happy... You don't have to work so hard to get what you want. I can satisfy you."
Rongyue smiled and said, "Just trust me."
Mo Chen smiled and pinched Rong Yue's face. "I have never doubted my own judgment."
When Rongyue walked into the lecture hall, she saw Qin Huaiyi sitting next to Hazel. Several mentors were gathered together chatting about something. Ji Lingfeng looked up at Rongyue and smiled. The other participating artists were sitting in their respective seats, doing their own things.
Qin Huaiyi looked at the door from time to time. When he saw Rongyue coming in, he saw the ill-fitting men's cardigan that Rongyue was wearing and knew it was Mo Chen's.
Qin Huaiyi had never thought that she would be so jealous. She had wanted everything since she was a child, except Mo Chen. As a result, she became more and more curious about Rongyue. She wanted to know where she was inferior to her.
Qin Huaiyi adjusted her mood and stood up, "Sister Rongyue, you are here."
The quiet environment was suddenly broken, and everyone looked at Qin Huaiyi walking towards Nangong Rongyue.
Rongyue felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, and she shrank behind the drawing board.
"I'm here with my teacher to participate in your activities today. I'd also like to learn from you." Qin Huaiyi walked over and sat down next to Rongyue.
"That's great. It's a rare opportunity."
"My teacher has also signed me up for the competition... they are currently discussing the topic."
Rongyue nodded, and understood in her heart that the things she had to work hard to get could be obtained by others without any effort. No wonder Mo Chen said that she didn't need to work hard for what she wanted... She once again wondered if her efforts were too naive and artificial.
"Everyone, our competition system is that each group mentor will set a topic for his or her own group. The group will have more than two weeks to create. Finally, the works of each group will be gathered together for public voting and selection. Today, the topic of our group has been decided. Students can start creating after getting the topic. When the time comes, they must submit the physical work. They can submit it in advance but late submissions will not be accepted. There is no limit on the location of creation, and you can communicate with us at any time during the creative process." Ji Lingfeng stood on the podium and explained the rules of the competition in English.
A photo appeared on the screen of the podium, of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
Rongyue looked at the man on the screen and always felt that his face looked a little strange.
"How boring! It turns out to be a portrait." Qin Huaiyi muttered.
"Everyone, just take pictures with your mobile phone and go back to create. I wish you all good results." Ji Lingfeng walked down from the podium.
Rongyue took good photos.
"Sister Rongyue, have you decided how to draw it?"
Rongyue looked at Qin Huaiyi and said, "Not yet..."
After Rongyue sent a message to Mo Chen, she stood up and saw Ji Lingfeng walking towards her.
"Any ideas?" Ji Lingfeng looked at Rongyue.
"I don't have any idea... yet, I just think this person looks weird..." Rongyue expressed her doubts.
Ji Lingfeng smiled and said, "Well, just create according to your true feelings."
Rongyue smiled and nodded.
"Do you have time to have lunch together?" Ji Lingfeng looked at Rongyue.
"Wait until I hand in my work. Now I just want to paint well."
Ji Lingfeng nodded. "If you need anything, call me. I don't mind if you bother me more."
Rongyue smiled and nodded.
Ji Lingfeng smiled at Rongyue, glanced at Qin Huaiyi and left.
Qin Huaiyi looked at Ji Lingfeng's back. He only glanced at her at the end and didn't mean to say hello, which made Qin Huaiyi feel very uncomfortable. Last time, he didn't give her any face in front of Mo Chen... His words were like a needle piercing her heart.
No one had ever treated her like this.
Rongyue noticed Qin Huaiyi's expression, but she knew very well that Ji Lingfeng had always been like this. He would pretend not to see those he didn't care about... and it was not just directed at Qin Huaiyi.
"I'll go back now. Shouldn't you go find your teacher?" Rongyue broke the awkwardness.
Qin Huaiyi quickly stood up and said, "I won't go with the teacher. I..." Qin Huaiyi hesitated and made up his mind, "I want to talk to you today. Do you want to go home? Can I go to your house and sit for a while?"
Rongyue was surprised at Qin Huaiyi's words, but seeing her pleading expression, she couldn't bear to refuse.
Rongyue glanced at her phone and saw a message from Mo Chen saying that he had arrived at the school gate.
"What do you want to talk to me about? Let's talk while we walk."
"Okay!" Qin Huaiyi smiled and followed Rongyue.
"Sister Rongyue, there are some things I can't figure out, and I want to ask you, please don't be angry... I'm just curious..."
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly... I don't like to speculate about others."
Rongyue and Qin Huaiyi were walking on the campus.
"You and Brother Mo Chen are divorced, why can't Brother Mo Chen let you go? I heard that after you two divorced, he lived abroad for more than three years, and then he came back to find you... How did you do it... to make him like you so much... And Brother Li Xin, I heard that he has always liked you..."
"... "
Rongyue glanced at Qin Huaiyi, not understanding whether this girl was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, how could she ask such a question.
“…Actually, you should ask Mo Chen this question…I also want to know the answer to this question. If I were to tell it, I might be luckier.” Rongyue thought about it, but couldn’t tell the real reason.
"Lucky?" Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue in confusion.
"Well, the Nangong family and the Gongyi family have a long history, isn't there anything strange about that? I am from the Nangong family, he is from the Gongyi family, and I am the only one left in the Nangong family. Grandpa has no choice, Mo Chen has no choice, and I have no choice. If there is a choice, then I may not be the one chosen."
"Why do people from Gong Yi's family have to be with people from Nangong's family? I don't understand..."
"…There are some very complicated reasons…"
Qin Huaiyi saw that Rongyue had no intention of continuing to talk and hesitated whether to continue asking.
The two of them had already walked to the door.
As soon as Qin Huaiyi raised his eyes, he saw Mo Chen standing at the school gate. He was dressed much more casually than usual in black trousers and a slim black shirt. He was tall and slender, with a handsome face and excellent temperament, which caught people's attention at once.
Mo Chen frowned when he saw Rongyue and Qin Huaiyi walking together. As they approached him, he reached out to Rongyue.
Rongyue held Mo Chen's hand.
Qin Huaiyi watched them holding hands. Mo Chen also pulled Rongyue and asked her to lean towards him. All of this was a natural and intimate behavior, and it was all initiated by Mo Chen.
"Why did you two come out together?" Mo Chen frowned and looked at Qin Huaiyi.
Qin Huaiyi looked at Mo Chen with eyes that were obviously sharp and contained a warning. She felt not only fear, but also heartache. She didn't understand why all the tenderness a man had was only for that one woman.
"I also want to participate in this competition, so I asked the teacher to sign me up. I came to see the test questions today..." Qin Huaiyi looked at Mo Chen.
Rongyue pulled Mo Chen's hand. She saw that Mo Chen had a bad look in his eyes. Qin Huaiyi was not only embarrassed after seeing Mo Chen's look, but her eyes also turned slightly red. She looked very pitiful.
"Then it's okay... let's go home." Mo Chen turned to look at Rong Yue, his expression returned to normal.
Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and then at Qin Huaiyi.
Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue and said aggrievedly and timidly, "Sister Rongyue, do you and Brother Mochen hate me very much..."
Rongyue saw Qin Huaiyi’s expression as if he was about to cry, and she grabbed Mo Chen who was about to leave.
"No...we don't hate you...don't think too much." Rongyue patted Qin Huaiyi.
"Brother Mo Chen has made it very clear to me. I know the limits. I see that you and Yuyan have a good relationship. I just... also want to get along with you like Yuyan does." Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue sincerely.
"Yuyan and I have known each other for several years, and I have always treated her as my own sister. You and I have just met, and we need time to understand and get to know each other..."
"I know... then... I'll treat you to lunch at noon!" Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue, then looked at Mo Chen behind Rongyue.
"Let's do it another day..." Mo Chen spoke before Rongyue could say anything. He pulled Rongyue and wanted to take her away.
“…But I…it’s not easy for me to come out…” Qin Huaiyi looked at Mo Chen and Rongyue in embarrassment.
Rongyue glanced at Mo Chen and saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of giving in.
“…I…ok…then I won’t disturb you anymore…Sister Rongyue, let me go…” Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue with red eyes.
"Do you have anything else to say to me? Why not come to my house and sit for a while?" Rongyue looked at Qin Huaiyi. She really couldn't bear to see girls crying out of grievance.
Qin Huaiyi looked at Rongyue with joy and nodded quickly.
