I was dedicated by the female lead to the male lead

In the room, Lu Jinghan had a gloomy face and made a call with his mobile phone: "No, it's too far away!"

Li Hai's voice almost burst out of the phone: "Brother! Three kilometers away?!"

"Look for the one closest to my house, the distance should not exceed one kilometer."

snort!Watching every day, Xia Xiaomu still dared to stir up a heart that wanted to have sex. If he put it where he couldn't see it, he couldn't help letting him go.

Li Hai: "Why don't you go directly to your backyard and build a house for Xia Xiaomu!"

Lu Jinghan clicked his tongue: "I want to be able to build it now, what do I want you to do. There are several houses near my house that are not always vacant. You can ask the head of the household one by one to see if anyone wants to sell."

Li Hai: "I've asked all of them! There are three empty ones, one for my son to marry a wife. The whole family moved in a few years ago, and they won't sell it no matter what.

There is also a household head, hehe, you know this person, Xie Weiwan's aunt, an internationally renowned painter - Xie Wen.I just flew back from the UK and was about to move in. "

Lu Jinghan thought for a while: "The one for your son to marry a wife, you can talk to him, he will offer the price at will, as long as he sells it."

Li Hai: "Hehe, if someone proposes to knock us at a price that is several times higher than the market price, shall we buy it too?"

Lu Jinghan sighed: "Buy it, try to hurry up, Xiao Mu wants to pick up his father as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but click on the Rainbow Liaoba app again, looking at MuMu's enchanting little waist profile picture, I gritted my teeth angrily.

After Qiao Jin told him what this app does, Lu Jinghan was both angry and shocked.He wanted to question Xia Xiaomu, but felt that he couldn't open his mouth without any real evidence, so he seemed to be making trouble for no reason.

Finally, I thought of a way: I also applied for an account, applied to add Xia Xiaomu as a friend, and quietly tested him.

As a result, Xia Xiaomu quickly approved his application, and he was so angry that he rushed into Xia Xiaomu's room and got rid of him.

My mind was even more cranky:

Little liar, have you added a lot of friends?

Talked to that sweet Mr. Honey?

Have you already made an appointment with someone? !

Unable to bear the torment in his heart, he asked Li Hai to crack the password of Xia Xiaomu's account and check his chat records.

Fortunately, since Xia Xiaomu applied for an account, although she added a few friends, she hasn't chatted with anyone yet.

However, Lu Jinghan was still worried, as long as others stayed in this bullshit flirt bar, they would have the chance to commit crimes at any time.

Never take it lightly!

Downstairs, Xia Xiaomu and Jing Yi had breakfast together, Lu Jinghan went downstairs and asked, "Xiao Mu, what time do you leave school today?"

Xia Xiaomu put down the milk cup in her hand: "The last class is over at 6 o'clock."

There was also a white milk stain on the upper lip, which made the lips more red, Lu Jinghan couldn't help but look at it for a few more seconds.

"I'll wait for you at the school gate at six o'clock, and I'll come out after school."

Xia Xiaomu took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said with a helpless smile, "Brother Jing Han, you have to give me time to do the shopping and go to the bathroom."

Jing Yi glanced at Xia Xiaomu sympathetically, then lowered her head and continued to eat the sandwich in her hand.

In the past few days, my brother has been very loose with her, but he has become stricter with Xiao Mu. Is it because he knows that Xiao Mu was hurt by a man like Jian Xing, so he wants to protect Xiao Mu.

Tsk tsk, being protected by a brother who is like a housekeeper, brother Mu is so pitiful.

Lu Jinghan asked him again: "What do you want to buy?"

Xia Xiaomu thought for a while: "Just brushes, brushes, etc. I also want to go to the store outside the school."

"Which store to go and what?"

"Just browse around for oil painting supplies and tools to see what's novel."

Lu Jinghan: "I got you, I'll go with you..."

Jing Yi interrupted him! "Brother! Why do you look like a little daughter-in-law who checks the post? Are you annoying?"

In one sentence, it hit Lu Jinghan's "fragile" heart again.He glared at him angrily, glared at Jing Yi fiercely, and urged Xia Xiaomu:

"Hurry up and eat, I'll take you to school later."

Under Jing Yi's sympathetic gaze, Xia Xiaomu drank a glass of milk, followed Lu Jinghan with her schoolbag, and left the house.

Lu Jinghan didn't know what was going on these few days, and he sent him messages all the time, asking him where he was, who he met, and what he did.

There are a lot of things going on recently, besides preparing for the mid-term exam at school, and designing an oil painting for Qiao Jin after school, tomorrow night I will bring my father's work to meet Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of the Century Lunar New Year Art Exhibition.

In addition, today is the day of the final selection of the "Qing Jun Cup".

Although he is very confident in his work, he still can't help being nervous.I haven't slept well since last night.

There are so many things mixed together, and you have to reply to messages with Lu Jinghan all the time, and report your own itinerary. To be honest, it's quite...annoying.

Could this be what Lu Jinghan said to be responsible for himself?

Such a strong desire to control, who can bear it.

~~~

The students of Art Department of S University are very excited today.

Gathered in the school auditorium early in the morning, chattering and waiting anxiously.

Because the final trials of the "Qingjun Cup" will be held publicly here.

Before that, the teachers of the art department had selected the top ten from hundreds of works.

The ten selected works will be placed on the stage of the auditorium. Senior professors from the Department of Fine Arts and invited famous painters will comment and score on the spot, and finally determine the winner of the "Qing Jun Cup".

Xia Xiaomu was still late. The auditorium of thousands of people was already overcrowded. He stood in the last row of the auditorium, not to mention watching the teachers commenting on the auditorium stage, he couldn't even see the big screen hanging above it.

Xu Zhe walked towards him from a distance, and asked him with an embarrassed smile: "Xia Xiaomu, I have an extra seat, do you want to come and sit with me?"

There were indeed some festivals in the past, but after that Xia Xiaomu didn't care about it, and Xu Zhe came here to show his favor from time to time, so he maintained a good relationship with classmates.

Xia Xiaomu smiled at him: "Then thank you so much."

Xu Zhe came early and took an excellent seat.In the middle of the third row, you can see clearly on the podium.

Xia Xiaomu also noticed that there were actually two reporters in the audience, driving the camera to record the whole process. It can be seen that the "Qingjun Cup" selection competition of the Fine Arts Department of S University has attracted much attention from the society.

As the heavy curtain on the stage of the auditorium was drawn, the chattering students around gradually quieted down.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the department came out to speak, and at the same time, several staff members came up behind him, moved out paintings one by one, and placed them on the easels on the stage.

The thousand-person auditorium froze in an instant, quiet and tense.

Except for the speech of the department head, no noise could be heard, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the paintings that were brought out one by one.

When the staff retreated, ten works selected through layers of screening were displayed in front of everyone present without hindrance.

Immediately, there was a sound of booing.

Xu Zhe stretched his neck to look at it for a long time, let out a breath, and sighed lightly.

Then he turned to ask Xia Xiaomu: "There must be yours in here, right?"

Xia Xiaomu has found the "Time and Space" painted by herself, and slightly relieved, nodded and said: "The third one is mine."

Xu Zhe looked over immediately, and after a few seconds of pause, exclaimed: "Wow, you are really amazing."

Xia Xiaomu smiled lightly. He compared the ten works on the stage, four of which were oil paintings, three were Chinese paintings, two were watercolors, and one was Ukiyo-e.

He didn't know much about the review criteria other than oil paintings, but among the four oil paintings, only his "Time and Space" was the best.

The head of the department on the stage: "...for this year's "Young Jun Cup", our department is honored to invite the internationally renowned oil painting master Xie Wen, the well-known painter Zhou Tingsheng,..."

Xu Zhe immediately approached Xia Xiaomu: "Teacher Xie Wen is actually one of the judges!! You know her, right?"

Xie Weiwan's aunt - Xie Wen.

At Grandpa Lu's birthday banquet, he heard a circle of people in the painting circle compliment her, saying that she is the only descendant who has received the true biography of Master Xie Yu, and now her reputation in the oil painting circle has already enjoyed an international reputation.

Because of Aunt Xie Weiwan, Xia Xiaomu always felt a little resistant when she heard this name.

But when he saw a thin woman in a black dress and a red scarf stepping up to the front, he couldn't help being attracted.

With a slight smile on her face, she nodded slightly to the students in the audience. With fair skin and bright eyes, she exuded an extraordinary and refined temperament.

Although she is a real aunt, she doesn't look like Xie Weiwan, and it's especially easy to make her feel close.

Xu Zhe was very excited, and whispered excitedly: "Master Xie Wen, the goddess of oil painting!! I finally saw a real person, so beautiful!

And she will soon be a specially-appointed professor of our school, if only I could choose her class! ! "

It was not only Xu Zhe who was excited, but also the students around him who were excitedly commenting: "The Xie family not only produces talented women, but also beautiful women, as beautiful as Xie Weiwan."

"I really want to take her class, I really want to worship her as my master!"

"Don't think about it, Master, I heard that she doesn't accept disciples."

"I also heard that one year the British royal family asked her to teach the little prince to draw, but she refused, let alone us."

Xie Wen is indeed more pleasing to the eye than Xie Weiwan, but compared to this, Xia Xiaomu hopes that the teachers will start the selection soon.

After the head of the department introduced all the review teachers on the stage, the review finally started.

Sure enough, more than a dozen teachers stopped in front of "Time and Space" at the same time, watching carefully, commenting, and exclaiming from time to time.

Xia Xiaomu finally let go of her heart.

People around started:

"It's an oil painting, did Xie Weiwan paint it? She was the one who was elected last year."

"Don't forget that there is also an airborne genius in our department, and his words are hung in the Qingshan Art Museum."

"Who is so? Why don't I know."

"Xia Xiaomu, I heard that he also participated in the birthday banquet of Mrs. Lu and met many famous painters."

"It's really lucky to be spotted by Lu Lao."

"Luck is luck, but people also have that strength. The painting "sunshine" in Qingshan Art Museum is really great."

The discussion drifted to Xia Xiaomu's side from time to time, but he was fine. He looked down and saw that Lu Jinghan had sent him another message.

--Do you like modern minimalist houses?

Is this helping you find a house?

Xia Xiaomu was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: - that's fine too.It's just that the rent is not too expensive. Tat.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Lu Jinghan didn't answer him, he looked up at the auditorium again.

At this moment, the teachers gathered in front of another oil painting, and Xia Xiaomu looked over it carefully.

It is an idyllic scenery, a red brick house surrounded by golden wheat fields.On the path next to the wheat field were a few children running.Under the sunlight, everything on the ground is shining and full of vitality.

This method of color expression is very similar to Xie Weiwan's painting method.

His heart sank.

In order to maintain the fairness of the "Qing Jun Cup" selection competition, the names of all participating students' paintings were covered before the final result was announced.

But Xie Wen is Xie Weiwan's aunt, and she must be able to recognize Xie Weiwan's paintings at a glance. Will she be biased towards her and give her the highest score?

Probably not, it is impossible for an international painter who is famous both at home and abroad to have such selfishness.

But not necessarily!

After all, she is my aunt.

Xia Xiaomo's heart was flustered, and she even waited anxiously.

Almost an hour passed, and the teachers finally finished all the grading.The head of the department came to the stage again and cleared his throat:

"First of all, I would like to thank the teachers for the fair and strict scoring of the works of our students... I will announce the scores of the ten works below."

""Playing Lotus", 980 points."

It's a Chinese painting, Xia Xiaomo can't tell whether the score is high or low.

""Flower Fire Festival", 790 points."

It's Ukiyo-e, emmm, it seems that the score of traditional Chinese painting is quite high.

""Rye Field" scored 780 points."

780 points!Xia Xiaomo was surprised, it should be Xie Weiwan's painting, the score is so low.

""He Chuntu" scored 990 points."

It is still a traditional Chinese painting, and currently has the highest score.

Xia Xiaomu was a little impatient, and listened a few more times, but he didn't get to his own, but he found a pattern.The oil paintings scored very low.

After reading three oil paintings, the best score so far is "Wheat Field" with 780 points.The other two paintings scored just over 600 points, while the three Chinese paintings scored the highest, all exceeding 900 points.

Xia Xiaomo panicked, could it be that the judging criteria are different for different painting departments?

If your own score is lower than the 990 points of "He Chuntu", then you will lose.

Nine out of the ten works have been published, but Xia Xiaomu clenched her fists and waited for her results with bated breath.

The head of the department paused for a moment before smiling and said, "Come down, we will announce the last work "Time and Space", with a score of 1490 points. It is also the winning work of our college's "Qing Jun Cup"!"

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"It's so high, No.2 "He Chun Tu" only has a score of 990!"

"So much difference, whose? Whose!"

There was an uproar in the auditorium, and everyone stretched their necks and looked at "Time and Space".

Xu Zhe turned his head and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Xia Xiaomu."

Xia Xiaomu also breathed a sigh of relief, followed by incomparable joy, he said something to Xu Zhe. :"Thank you."

Winning!That's great!

This is the first time in his life to see a competition.Although very confident, the process is still tense.

Happily wanting to share this good news immediately and let others know, he took out his phone and involuntarily clicked on Lu Jinghan's profile picture:

--Brother Jinghan, my "Time and Space" won.

Lu Jinghan quickly sent him a message:

--Congratulations, I'll buy you a mousse cake later to celebrate.

Xia Xiaomu held the phone with a smile on her lips.

There is nothing more joyful than someone celebrating a victory for themselves.

The painter Zhou Tingsheng on the stage urged the head of the department: "Quickly open the name, let me see which student is so talented, and such a work full of aura really surprised me."

Xie Wen also smiled and said, "Teacher Zhou, I can't wait to know."

The head of the department stepped forward and removed the black tape covering the name, revealing Xia Xiaomu's name.

Then he took the microphone and asked loudly to the students in the auditorium, "Is student Xia Xiaomu here?"

The discussion in the audience suddenly became louder:

"It really is Xia Xiaomu, that's amazing!"

"Let me just say, it must be him! The painting "sunshine" in Qingshan Art Museum is superb."

"He's only in his freshman year. They say he's a genius who suddenly appeared, and it's true."

Xia Xiaomu stood up from her seat, and replied in a moderate voice, "Teacher, I'm here."

All eyes on and off the stage turned to him.

Some girls quietly discussed below:

"Wow, he's still a handsome boy."

"His skin is so fair, he looks better than me."

"Handsome and talented, really enviable."

……

With a smile and confidence on her face, Xia Xiaomu looked towards the teachers on the stage.

On the stage, Xie Wen's eyes stopped on his face for a while, and she praised:

""Time and Space" was drawn by such a young classmate. It is really good and full of inspiration. It is one of the best oil paintings I have seen so far."

Zhou Tingsheng, a well-known painter who was invited: "Xia Xiaomu, who did you learn from? If you can draw such a painting, your master should never be an ordinary person."

Xia Xiaomu answered him: "I don't have a teacher, I learn from my father occasionally."

Zhou Tingsheng: "Who is your father?"

Xie Wen also looked at Xia Xiaomu, waiting for Xia Xiaomu's answer.

She also wanted to know who the father of such a young and talented child was.

Xia Xiaomu smiled helplessly: "My father doesn't have any reputation in the world of painters, you won't know him."

Zhou Tingsheng adjusted his glasses: "That's right. Xia Xiaomu, I admire your style of painting very much. If you want, I, Zhou Tingsheng, would like to accept you as an apprentice. I will teach you some technical knowledge in the future. How about it?"

"Accept students in public!! Xia Xiaomu is so lucky, he is Master Zhou!"

"Master Zhou has a very wide network of contacts in the painter circle. Becoming his apprentice is equivalent to becoming famous immediately, and his net worth will rise accordingly. We will not be as good as an apprentice of Master Zhou for many years in the future."

"Oh my god, I can't be envious!"

Amidst the envious discussions, Xia Xiaomu met Zhou Tingsheng's gaze. His eyes were smiling, but cold and chilling.

His eyes instantly made Xia Xiaomu think of the master in the original world.

"...Xia Xiaomu, I will take you as my apprentice. From now on, you can concentrate on painting, don't worry about anything, don't worry about anything, I will take care of everything for you..."

Memories came flooding back like a flood.

Xia Xiaomu's face turned pale, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

The helplessness of being dominated, the fear and despair before death, he never wants to experience it again.

I can't promise him, but...

The voices of the students around came to his ears one after another, and the relief and pride in the eyes of the department head made him dare not refuse at all.

In front of all the teachers of the art department and the students in the auditorium full of thousands of people, it is arrogant and conceited to reject such a well-known painter.

He became more and more helpless, his mind went blank, and the surrounding voices became louder and louder, causing his eardrums to buzz.

Xu Zhe was very strange, pulled his arm, and reminded him softly: "Xia Xiaomu, what's wrong with you? Answer the teacher quickly, what a great opportunity."

No, you can't apprentice!

No way!

Seeing that Xia Xiaomu didn't respond for a long time, Zhou Tingsheng's face showed a trace of displeasure.

The head of the department also looked embarrassed. He put down the microphone, walked to the front of the stage, and reminded him with warning eyes: "Xia Xiaomu, why are you hesitating!"

Xia Xiaomu looked around blankly, all eyes were fixed on him, as if to say, such a good opportunity, if you don't agree, how dare you want to reject Master Zhou, are you so crazy?What a great painting.

His voice was almost trembling: "I...I..."

"Student Xia Xiaomu, don't you want me to be your teacher?"

A crisp voice resounded on the stage of the auditorium, and the surrounding discussion fell silent instantly, and everyone looked over in astonishment.

Xie Wen stood on the stage with a microphone in her hand, looking at Xia Xiaomu with a slight smile.A pair of slender and beautiful eyes, with a bright and sly smile, but also with a hint of tenderness.

Xia Xiaomu was stunned.
