half thorns, half joy

Why is this...

All this in front of me must not be an illusion...

But the sound and touch are so real, that face and that faint smile are so familiar, it doesn't look like a hallucination at all...

Cai Jinyu stared blankly at the big screen in disbelief, and didn't react until the big screen had been replaced with the works of the second group of designers.

It was the girl next to him who sensed something was wrong first, and lightly pushed Cai Jinyu's arm: "What's wrong with you?"

"...Is this from your school?" Cai Jinyu grabbed the girl's arm violently, and the voice of the question was trembling, "Aren't the designers of these competitions all from this school?"

The girl frowned, "Yes, they are all seniors who are about to graduate soon."

She looked at Cai Jinyu's face, took a breath, and reminded in a low voice, "You... You pinched me so painfully."

The girl's delicate voice fell on Cai Jinyu's eardrums, and Cai Jinyu regained consciousness instantly in fright, and shook off the girl's hand as if she had been burned.

His eyes once again turned to the ever-changing big screen, his eyes were unpredictable.

Cai Jinyu's emotional changes before and after were so obvious that she was almost unable to control herself. The girl felt strange and poked her head and asked, "What's the matter, did you see someone you know?"

"..." Cai Jinyu pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

Seeing Cai Jinyu's ugly face, the girl didn't dare to say anything.

And Xiao Zihan, who had been watching the game quietly without expressing any opinions, turned his head and looked at Cai Jinyu at this moment.

There was a touch of sympathy and helplessness in those eyes.

"Wow, the designer of the fourth group will speak soon. You said that the Chinese-style designer is Chinese, or is it Chinese?" Cai Lin seemed to like that designer very much, and mentioned There was even a gleam of excitement on his face.

Tang Xuan also likes that style very much. She prefers the elegant and tranquil Chinese style to the futuristic and avant-garde.

Probably, it also has something to do with Tang Xuan's personality fit.

"Look! Am I right again, I'm really Chinese! Let me just say, foreigners can't play well with the Chinese style. To make it so beautiful and artistic, we have to be our own people! "

On the stage, the Chinese-style female designer talked about her design philosophy and experience, and introduced herself as a Chinese. Cai Lin was so happy that she almost jumped up.

Infected by Cai Lin's enthusiasm, Tang Xuan also clenched her fists, excitedly waiting for the score announcement.

When the score was read just now, the designer's score seemed to be quite high, and the voice was also very loud. If it can surpass the first one, it will be really exciting!
Tang Xuan's mentality, in a big way, is a sense of national honor. In a small way, or in a more general way, she just wants to see her own people win awards.

This is the same as the excitement when watching the athletes of one's own country win the award during the Olympic Games.

Cai Jinyu's mood was different from the others.

He looked at the people standing on the stage obsessively, just like looking at a ray of light. That ray of light once shone into his life, gave him hope, and made him feel that his life became full.

Just when he was imagining the future and planning to spend his life with his light, his light left him without hesitation.

It wasn't until this moment that Cai Jinyu realized that three years had passed.

It's been three years.

Time flies, why did he feel that three years was a long time at that time, and he felt that he couldn't wait for three years.

Cai Jinyu's nose was sour, and the long-sealed memories rushed into his brain. Those sweet, sad, happy, tangled, happy, and painful pasts flashed before his eyes one after another.

He thought he forgot, he really thought he forgot.

At least, I will never think of it again.

But the facts in front of him now proved that he thought that, but in fact, he hadn't forgotten it at all.

How could he forget.

He didn't even really fall in love with anyone anymore.

"Cough." Cai Jinyu was afraid that she would cry out in embarrassment, so she had to cough lightly, lowering her head to hide her emotions.

But the best actors can't easily hide their true emotions when facing true love.

How could Cai Jinyu?
"Ah! Number one! Really number one!" Cai Lin shouted excitedly, and hugged Tang Xuan. Tang Xuan was also very excited, and hugged Cai Lin tightly.

Before coming here, no one thought that just watching a game casually would be so exciting.

"It's so cool. It's really cool to get the first place in such a big environment. I'll go backstage to ask for her autograph later." Cai Lin was so excited that her palms were sweating.

After hearing this, Tang Xuan asked the girl sitting next to Cai Jinyu across the seat, "Hello, can we go backstage? Or, how can I talk to that designer?"

Cai Jinyu didn't talk to the girl at all at the moment. The girl was depressed. Seeing Tang Xuan ask, she became more friendly.

She pointed to the badge on her chest, "I'm also from the Design Institute. The contestant just now was my senior. I can take you to the backstage."

Cai Lin, who used to have a problem with girls, no longer picks on her anymore.

Even with the aura of that designer, she doesn't find this girl annoying when she looks at her now, and she even gets a little closer.

"Thank you then." She whispered thanks.

The girl raised her mouth and smiled, and responded very generously: "It's okay, we are all Chinese, and it is fate to know each other in this foreign country."

On the stage, the judges are awarding awards to the winning designers.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, whistles and cheers continued, and Cai Lin stood up, applauding so hard that her palms turned red.

And Xiao Zihan, separated by a few people, looked at Cai Jinyu who hadn't changed his movements for more than ten minutes, and after a while, he looked away.

Tang Xuan didn't see the woman Cai Jinyu really loved, so she didn't have a deep impression on her, but Xiao Zihan was pulled out by Cai Jinyu many times as a shield, and that woman had a special personality, so Xiao Zihan was very impressed.

When the woman's face appeared on the big screen for the first time just now, Xiao Zihan just thought it looked familiar, but he didn't remember it. He only confirmed it after seeing Cai Jinyu's abnormal reaction.

In this world, there is only one woman who can make Cai Jinyu lose control to this extent.

Losing control, he stared at him without blinking, his soul seemed to have left his body, he couldn't hear or feel everything around him, all the attention in his eyes and ears was taken away by that person.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go backstage!" Cai Lin is impatient. Having studied abroad, she knows how difficult it is to win an award in someone else's territory and in a field where someone else is good at. Once the award ceremony is over, she can't wait to pull Everyone rushed backstage.

Tang Xuan looked at her childlike nature and smiled to help her, "Be careful, don't fall."

"Oh, don't wait for the meeting to leave." Cai Lin wiped her face, grabbed the arm of the girl next to Cai Jinyu, pouted and asked, "Excuse me, can you help arrange a meal or something, I really want to meet That sister."

Without waiting for the girl to respond, she hurriedly said again: "Really please! You can eat whatever you want, I'll treat you!"

The girl was amused by Cai Lin's pitiful appearance, and she looked helpless: "I will try my best, but the senior is very busy, and rarely eats with us, and rarely attends parties. I really don't know if I can make an appointment. .”

"Do as much as you can!" Cai Lin clenched her fists.

Xiao Zihan remained silent, thinking that maybe this is fate. In the past, Cai Lin didn't like any of the women around Cai Jinyu, and thought that none of them were good. Only the one Cai Jinyu really loved, Cai Lin didn't know this The twists and turns in it are already worshiped like this.

What should this be called? This pair of brothers and sisters fight every day on the surface, but in fact they have the same aesthetics?

The five people passed through the crowd and squeezed into the backstage. The backstage was also very crowded, full of models and staff changing clothes, and many people like Cai Lin came looking for someone.

Fortunately, the girl Cai Jinyu met was cheerful and popular. After a few greetings, she brought the four of them to the designer.

The designer had already put the trophy aside. When Cai Lin and the others passed by, they were helping to organize the clothes they had just worn in the competition.

"Sister!" The girl stepped forward and called out sweetly.

The designer turned his head, saw the girl, and smiled, "Why are you here, did you enjoy watching the game just now?"

"It's very enjoyable, let me just say, senior sister, you are so good, you will definitely get the first place, haha." After the girl said a few flattering words, she turned to Cai Lin, "Senior sister, these are my friends. I'm a Chinese, I was shocked by your work just now, and now I came here specially to ask you for an autograph."

The designer shrugged and smiled indifferently, "I'm not a star, it's too exaggerated to talk about autographs or something."

"Oh, it's not an exaggeration at all, you are a well-known designer at home and abroad in the future." The girl is very proud, "Come on, let me introduce, this is my senior, Fang Yu. Senior, these are my friends .”

Fang Yu had been arranging the clothes in the box with his back to several people just now, and when he heard this introduction, he stood up on his knees, wiped his hands on the front of his clothes, and raised his head to respond.

"Hello, my name is Fang Yu. I..."

After seeing clearly one of the few people in front of him, the indifferent smile on Fang Yu's face also froze.

But soon, she came to her senses and nodded, "I'm very happy that you guys like my work."

The girl didn't know the entanglements involved, so she tried to ask under Cai Lin's burning eyes: "Senior sister, my friends came all the way here, and I happened to see your game today, and they all like you... ...I want to ask you out for dinner, but I wonder if you have time."

Such a simple request, the girl said very awkwardly, it can be seen that this senior sister is not usually a social person.

However, what she didn't expect was that the senior she made so stammeringly, the senior who seldom attends parties and doesn't make dinner appointments with you, agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, let's have a meal together then."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on Cai Jinyu's face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, "I'm here, it's hard to justify not having a meal."
