Arbors intertwined

"Huh?" At the dining table, Mu Zixin put the prepared dishes into Qiao Ran's bowl, and frowned slightly, "You mean, Zhou Li's work is about us as the main characters?"

Qiao Ran nodded.

This matter cannot be hidden from Mu Zixin, not to mention that she is also one of the people involved, Qiao Ran thinks that it should not be hidden from her.

"Well, after all, I didn't deliberately hide the fact that I picked you up at the dormitory." Mu Zixin thought for a while, her brows relaxed, and she didn't seem to care, "But Qiao Ran, why did she paint us? I don't know. Think it's just a coincidence."

If it was just a graduation project, there would be no reason for Zhou Li to suddenly pull Qiao Ran to expose her sexuality. If Zhou Li was just because she didn't see Qiao Ran well, then she could have done something to Qiao Ran long ago, and it wouldn't be until the last half year.

There must be other reasons for this, Mu Zixin quickly made a judgment in his heart.

Qiao Ran was taken aback, and couldn't help admiring Mu Zixin's sensitivity.

[Teacher Zhou said that there is an opportunity to go to Paris for an exchange next semester, and only one of the two of us can participate. ] Qiao Ran answered Mu Zixin, but still added, [I want to win this opportunity with my own efforts. ]

She still remembered the invitation letter for the art exhibition in G City, when Mu Zixin helped her go there.

Mu Zixin raised her eyebrows and looked at Qiao Ran: "But now that Zhou Li is going to deal with you. At this point, it has nothing to do with strength."

Undoubtedly, from Mu Zixin's answer, she had already set her sights on Zhou Li when she heard about it.

This person who dared to set a small stumbling block for Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran was silent for a while.

Once Mu Zixin made a decision, very few people could change her.

However, Qiao Ran was no ordinary person after all.

[Are you afraid that this matter will be known by the people in the Academy of Fine Arts? ] Qiao Ran finally looked up and asked Mu Zixin this question.

Mu Zixin frowned, looked at Qiao Ran steadfastly, and then laughed after a while: "Qiao Ran, Qiao Ran, only you can use this aggressive method against me."

She explained the meaning of Qiao Ran's words in one sentence, and at the same time, she also expressed that even if this was a radical, she could only accept it.

Qiao Ran couldn't help smiling: [I can win it. ]

That's the person she poured into her emotions to paint. She deeply imbedded Mu Zixin's appearance in her heart, drew it with the tip of a pen, and then kneaded the emotion in her heart into the soul of the person in the painting, making the painting come alive .

What can Mu Zixin do?

She loved Qiao Ran's expression so much that she had no choice but to agree to this request.

"Okay, I promise you not to trouble Zhou Li with this graduation project." Mu Zixin shrugged, "However, I remember that your defense is open and you can visit it, right?"

Qiao Ran nodded helplessly: [Aren't you going on a business trip the day after tomorrow? ] She remembered that Mu Zixin had mentioned this to her, saying that he was going to X province on a business trip and would not be able to return until the next day.

"Ah, that's nothing. I'll just communicate with the other party and change the time." Mu Zixin curled her lips disapprovingly. The person who contacted her over there is an old acquaintance. It's not difficult to postpone it for a day or two, or just change the network communication directly. , at most let some profit.

On the contrary, it was about Qiao Ran. She only agreed not to target that Zhou Li's work, but it didn't mean she didn't check it.Mu Zixin wanted to take a good look at what Zhou Li did this week.

It's not that Qiao Ran has never seen Mu Zixin's serious attitude towards work, not to mention that Mu Zixin has always disdain to lie, so since she said that there is no big problem, it must not be a lie just to comfort Qiao Ran.

[The day after tomorrow, I will wait for you to come. ] After Qiao Ran finished "speaking", she brought food for Mu Zixin.

Mu Zixin picked up the bowl with a smile, "I'll definitely be there."

Just two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Now that he made up his mind not to change the theme, Qiao Ran didn't spend the past two days in a hurry. He simply made some minor revisions to the first draft, and at the same time demonstrated in his mind several scenes of defending the first draft of the work design.

Including Mu Zixin who will definitely be there and will be very conspicuous.

Even though many students and teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts have a unique sense of avant-garde art, walking on the street is definitely eye-catching.

But Qiao Ran is sure that even if Mu Zixin's clothes are normal, the aura around her is destined to stand out from the crowd.

This is definitely not the effect of beauty in the eye of the beholder.

In short, when it came to the day of the defense, the entire small auditorium was full of people.

Although the number of people who participated in the defense was not large, as a public defense, even people outside the school were not restricted, so naturally countless people came.Many poor students who didn't get tickets could only choose to stand around and watch.

Teacher Zhou, as one of the tutors, of course sat in the front row, sitting side by side with several tutors.

He looked at the scene of mountains and seas of people. He had seen the scene for many years, but today he was inexplicably worried.

"Teacher Zhou, it seems that you are not in good spirits." A teacher next to you took advantage of the start and started talking.

Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "I haven't felt very well these past two days, maybe I'm going to catch a cold." He is old, and it is normal for him to suffer from physical ailments and be mentally ill, so it is just right to say that as an excuse.

After all, he couldn't tell others that he was worried about what would happen today because Mu Zixin came to ask him for a ticket, right?In particular, Mu Zixin still asked for two tickets, and didn't explain who the other one was for.

"Well, then you have to be careful and drink more hot water." The teacher said with a concerned look.

Teacher Zhou nodded and didn't say much.

It's time to start.

Finally, two figures appeared at the door.

Teacher Zhou saw it out of the corner of his eye and turned his head away.

One was Mu Zixin, who was flamboyant and beautiful as always, attracting the attention of many students present.

And the other, a foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes, was also very stylishly dressed.

The student in charge of reception at the entrance of the small auditorium stepped forward, and was blinded by the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him for a moment, and didn't know how to speak.

On the other hand, Mu Zixin handed the ticket to the student very naturally, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry." The cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye was shining red, with a bit of beauty.

The student immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. Seeing that the seat was in the second row, he was even more excited. The tickets for this row were all for the instructors, who they chose to distribute.

The student was the first to lead the way, and at the same time, he also listened carefully to the movement behind him, hoping to hear something that could gossip.

He didn't miss the gazes from around him, full of envy and curiosity.

However, after a while he gave up in frustration.

The two behind him were indeed talking, but he couldn't understand a word. It seemed that at least they were definitely not the most common Chinese and English.

Under the guidance of the receiving students, the two of Mu Zixin were able to sit down quickly.

Teacher Zhou saw that the two of them sat down steadily. The seat was near the front, but not too central, but it had already attracted the attention of the students in the small half of the auditorium. She couldn't help shaking her head and sighing. SMS:

[Mr. Zhou, this is a friend of mine who likes oil painting and came here to see my gallery.I just heard that there is a public defense here, so I insisted on following me to take a look. ]

Is it necessary for Mu Zixin to explain to him so clearly?Even why did that person appear?

Teacher Zhou decided to ignore the devious ways of these juniors, and just do his own job and end the defense.

Not long after, the small auditorium fell silent.

After the simple opening remarks, the students participating in the defense came forward one after another with their first drafts in order.

There is a special camera in front, which is used to zoom in on the work on the big screen so that everyone can see it clearly. Soon, the entire auditorium is immersed in the atmosphere of breath-holding scrutiny.

When Qiao Ran came to the stage, there were subtle discussions in the auditorium.

Mu Zixin smiled and looked at the person standing upright on the stage. Her long hair was draped thinly, and she was wearing a coat with warm fluff. The off-white color looked slender and warm under the light.

"Is this the friend you mentioned?" The foreigner sitting next to Mu Zixin noticed his friend's smile and asked in a low voice.

If the former host student heard about it, he would not go there very much, because the foreigner now speaks fairly standard Chinese.

"Yes." Mu Zixin nodded.

"She is beautiful." He praised unabashedly, expressing his appreciation and preference for "beauty".

"Of course." Mu Zixin smiled deeper. A good appearance can subconsciously give people extra points. Qiao Ran's outfit today was specially chosen by her.

Of course, Mu Zixin didn't miss the whispered discussions of some students around her, about the deaf-mute senior in front of her.It seems that what you hear is mainly admiration?Mu Zixin felt a little satisfied in her heart.

The works brought by Qiao Ran have already appeared on the big screen, which are covered up according to the usual practice, and will not be really displayed until the defense begins.

The auditorium became quiet again, and everyone's eyes were on Qiao Ran's painting.

As the covering cloth was lifted, the foreign friend was the first to look at the people around him in surprise as the sound of admiration sounded.

Even Mu Zixin couldn't help opening his eyes wide with surprise.

In a short moment, the foreign friend put on a teasing expression: "Mu, it seems that you don't know this anymore."

Mu Zixin's brows and eyes curled up, and she smiled softly and happily: "No wonder she always refuses to change, and keeps keeping it a secret. So that's how it is."

"Oh dear Mu, you really should see your expression now, it's the first time I've seen it." The foreign friend exaggeratedly shook his head and said.

Mu Zixin turned to look at him and raised her eyebrows: "Ben, if you're envious, you can accept Jacques."

"Mu, you promised not to mention him for the time being." Ben grimaced, "Let's continue to look at the painting." He obediently returned the topic to the painting, except for the identity of the person on the painting and the person who drew it. Look at it from the perspective of a painter.

At this time, except for a small number of people who had noticed Mu Zixin and secretly looked at Mu Zixin, the mentors who were asking questions followed the normal process and asked questions about Qiao Ran's work design, and were asked one by one by Qiao Ran. Answer calmly.

Of course, this answer has her particularity compared with others.

She could only answer the questions by writing.

Fortunately, this is something that the instructors have experienced several times, and there were no problems in the whole defense.

And for the first portrait of a character in these works, some tutors also gave a relatively high evaluation.It can be seen that they have a good impression of Qiao Ran's works.

"Mu, I want to poach her to me and train her well." Ben expressed his opinion to Mu Zixin in a low voice. Obviously, he also admired Qiao Ran's painting skills.

"Oh? Who said that he was very picky before?" Mu Zixin gave Ben a sideways look and said with a smile.

Ben's answer is natural: "In pursuit of beauty, of course I am picky, but Joe does have great potential for development, just like what you said...what kind of jade are you talking about!"

"Puyu." Mu Zixin added with a smile.

"Yes, jade in the rough." Ben followed with a smile.

"I understand. With your love for talent, I believe that Qiao Ran's talent will not be buried in the future." Mu Zixin also smiled, but this smile always made Ben feel a little cold. .

Mu is good at everything, but there are always so many twists and turns in his stomach, Ben thought helplessly, of course he didn't dare to say it to Mu Zixin.

"Did you agree to hand over Joe to me?" Of course, it is still necessary to catch talents. I like to be straightforward, and I know that Mu Zixin doesn't hate this. Since I don't understand what Mu Zixin means, then Just ask.

Unfortunately, Ben was doomed to face disappointment this time.

"Did I ever say that I would entrust him to you?" Mu Zixin said bluntly, "Am I willing?"

Ben could only accept his fate: "Okay, of course I don't want to part with it." Everyone could tell that Mu Zixin had been looking at that Miss Qiao, from the moment he stepped on stage to when he stepped off the stage, the emotion in his eyes was not fake.

"Ben, don't worry, there's still drama to come." Mu Zixin said with a smile.

Ben's visit at this time was an accident, but if this accident is used well, it will have many benefits.
