Tender trapping

Ran Xu was approached by a counselor the next day, and only then did he know that Zhuo Minghui told Sun Cheng to do his mid-term homework on his behalf.

He put the SMS records on his mobile phone in front of the teacher. The evidence was so overwhelming that Sun Cheng had no room for sophistry.

In addition, Zhuo Minghui bit him to death. He had seen Ran Xu's manuscript in the dormitory before, and only then remembered the mid-term homework.

"If I had known it earlier, I would have asked Ran Xu to do it for him." Zhuo Minghui stood with his arms folded, looking foolish, obviously unrepentant, "That way you won't be able to find out."

The counselor is being provoked repeatedly, which is on the verge of exasperation: "You're kinda reasonable, aren't you?"

"According to the school's regulations, if you admit to being a substitute and have a good attitude, you should give me a zero score for this course." Zhuo Minghui continued, "But teacher, look, I can't pass if I don't ask for a substitute. It’s also possible that you won’t be able to find it, and this smart person knows how to choose.”

"You call it a good attitude of admitting mistakes?"

Before the counselor could finish his sentence, he heard the door of the room being knocked open. Sun Cheng came in cursing, declaring loudly that it was true that he had done it on behalf of him, and that plagiarism was false: "You know what you are talking about all day long, let others show you. Ran Xu, you're really fucking shameless."

Ran Xu was standing beside him well, but now he was scolded suddenly, his face was full of bewilderment.

But when Sun Cheng saw it, he felt that he was putting on a fake and lofty airs, and became angry for a while, pointing at Ran Xu's nose and cursing, all kinds of dirty words piled up together, it was really ugly.

The counselor was also stunned when he heard what he said, Zhuo Minghui took the opportunity to shrug his shoulders and pretended to be innocent: "Look, Teacher Lu, this is called a bad attitude, I really know I was wrong."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Ran Xu: "I'm sorry, I apologize to the classmate who was wronged."

This made a fuss in the office, mainly because Sun Cheng refused to admit his mistake, saying that there was no evidence to prove his plagiarism.

The counselor was quarreled by him one by one, but it happened that Zhuo Minghui was still on the sidelines to make trouble, sometimes saying that Sun Cheng dared to do it or not, and then persuading the counselor that it was nothing serious and let the teacher deal with it lightly.

Instead, Ran Xu became an outsider in the matter, standing by the wall, not knowing what to say.

However, he has nothing to say - plagiarism, these two words are a big mountain for anyone who is engaged in creation, as long as it is touched, the future career will be shrouded in shadow.

Ran Xu cherishes feathers, even when he painted imitation paintings for others to make a living, he would leave a mark in the corner of the picture to prevent the imitation paintings from being sold seriously.

Sun Cheng put the label of "plagiarism" on his head, which really made him bear a grudge.

At this time, someone helped him out, even if Zhuo Minghui himself was a bastard, it was enough to make Ran Xusheng a little grateful.

However, because Sun Cheng was too emotional that day, the college did not give a result that day, but only said that what he did on behalf of him was a fact, and Zhuo Minghui and Sun Cheng were given a warning, and the course was suspended and retaken.

As for plagiarism... Both parties failed to produce conclusive evidence, so this matter can only be shelved.

According to the regulations of the Second Municipal Academy of Fine Arts, the warning punishment was to be announced within the academy, and Zhuo Minghui was originally a problem student in the center of gossip. As soon as this incident came out, it quickly attracted the attention of many students.

The rumors about Ran Xu naturally lowered the heat.

Ran Xu originally wanted to find an opportunity to thank Zhuo Minghui, after all, he had done him a great favor no matter what, but Zhuo Minghui suddenly disappeared the next day after the matter was settled.

I heard from the counselor that it seems that I am asking for leave to go back to my hometown to visit relatives.

There is no way, then we can only wait for him to come back.

At the same time, the art exhibition of the photography department was held as scheduled. Feng Shenghao's sponsorship was quite generous. Lin Yingying even privately praised Ran Xu a few times, saying that he is a lucky star. The guy will not approve so much money.

Ran Xu couldn't help laughing: "It has nothing to do with me. Feng Shenghao's trip to the bar can probably cover half of your sponsorship fee."

"That's different." Lin Yingying patted Ran Xu on the shoulder, "The richer you are, the more stingy you are, they don't dare not do something profitable... In my opinion, maybe they are after your idea , as soon as you graduate, dig over there and be a designer for them."

"It's not that powerful." Ran Xu's ears were reddened by Lin Yingying's compliment.

Lin Yingying pursed her lips and smiled, and said no more.

It seems that this junior has not realized his talent yet, but Lin Zhengqing always praised Ran Xu to her, saying that if this kid doesn't go astray, he will definitely be able to make a big career in the future.

When the time comes, they won't be begging those bosses, but those bosses should be anxious about how to bring this cash cow home.

However, Ran Xu knew nothing about these things.

Returning to the daily study life, the days have become two points and one line between the studio and the dormitory. It is already the end of the year, and the weather in the north is getting colder and colder.

Maybe it's because he's not used to the climate here, even though the studio has newly installed a heater in recent years, Ran Xu still doesn't feel too warm, his hands are always skinny from the cold, and it's stiff to hold the pen, which makes him have to Spend more time completing your own work.

On the weekend, he made an appointment with Zhuo Wenlang to meet in 1980 to start his new "shop assistant" career.

On the night before that, Ran Xu still felt restless all the time, lying on the bed with rare insomnia—it was like the feeling he felt when he first heard that he was going on a spring outing in elementary school. He had to admit that he was looking forward to meeting Zhuo Wenlang. of meeting again.

Even though Zhuo Wenlang said some embarrassing words when the two of them parted last time, Ran Xu's anticipation still overcomes the discomfort in his heart.

He thought to himself, forget it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, as long as he doesn't tell Zhuo Wenlang his little thoughts, then the other party will definitely not cross the line.

Thinking about it this way, it seems to be taking advantage of Zhuo Wenlang's tenderness and tolerance towards him, but Ran Xu really can't think of any better idea... He is like an ostrich, thinking that he can escape the problem by burying his head in the sand .

As the time drew near, he became more and more excited. Even Zhang Jinzhou, who was sitting next to him, saw that something was wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Do you have any plans for today?"

Ran Xu didn't dislike his "transparent person" roommate. Although Zhang Jinzhou didn't dare to stand out when Sun Cheng repeatedly troubled him, it was also human nature, and he didn't blame him.

So, after thinking for a while, Ran Xu still couldn't hold back a smile: "Yes, I made an appointment with a friend." The joy couldn't be hidden, and even the boring theory class became less annoying.

When get out of class was over, Ran Xu sent Zhuo Wenlang a text message, telling him that he was leaving school now.

However, the phone has remained silent.

It wasn't until Ran Xu walked to the front of the store and saw the closed door in 1980 that the belated text message appeared on his phone screen:

[Sorry Xiaoxu, I can't rush back to the store today, the spare key is pressed under the flowerpot on the right, you go in first, if you have any questions, please send me a text message. 】

Ran Xu was stunned for a while, and then gradually digested the news.

To be honest, Ran Xu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his expectation, but he comforted himself that he came here to work, and the first thing he should do is work.

Since Zhuo Wenlang is not around, he should take better care of the shop.
