Pack O green tea is always on my mind
Chapter 22
force her?
As if struck by lightning, Tong Nan stared at Song Yinchi in disbelief, and at the same time took a big step back.
"Am I a scourge?"
Song Yinchi's introverted eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked pitifully, "Tong Nan... you don't dare to admit what you have done yourself now?"
Dare not admit it?Tong Nan's heart skipped a beat, she was not this kind of person, she was always daring to do something, but now facing Song Yinchi, she became a little hesitant.
She turned her back and racked her brains to figure out how to answer, but she heard the person behind her say in a cold and reserved tone:
"To be honest, after so many years, I don't care anymore. But I keep thinking, can we get along like before..."
As soon as the words fell, Tong Nan suddenly turned around and looked at Song Yinchi with bright eyes.
"Song Yinchi, I told you earlier that we can no longer be friends." His voice trembled, mixed with sadness and anger.
Did Song Yinchi think she would soften her heart?The moment I heard the other party being forcibly marked by myself, I really had an impulse, but I hoped that time could go back and things didn't happen.
You can't be friends, but you can be lovers.
Song Yinchi smiled from the bottom of his heart, but didn't say it out, for fear that the little cat would be blown up if he said it.
"Just because of that?" Song Yinchi leaned against him, half of him covered in ice-blue light, gloomy and indifferent, and said softly, "But Tong Nan, what you see may not be true. Just like online Those remarks—do you remember that you gave me a painting before."
"What did you say at the time?" Song Yinchi's tone was slow, which reminded Tong Nan, "You said that you would design clothes for me to wear in the future, and the suit in the picture is a new idea, so I specially shared it with me..."
Tong Nan was ashamed that she brought up the old things. The better the memories of the past, the more it seemed like a mockery compared with the current relationship between the two. Can't help being touched, it makes her seem useless.
What made her even more ashamed was why Song Yinchi could always maintain a calm expression.
"Of course I remember, I still remember your exact words." Tong Nan felt that recalling the past was a bit hypocritical, so he couldn't help interrupting Song Yinchi's words, "You said you would keep my painting, so where is it now?"
Song Yinchi glanced at Tong Nan, and continued: "It's at home. I found the painting yesterday, and the design of the skirt was based on the design of the moon god Morpho. We went to the museum in the first year of high school, and returned home that night. You told me that you had a burst of inspiration, and you gave me a painting the next day after staying up all night."
"The design on that painting is very similar to one of the photos posted by the person who discredited you."
Tong Nan picked up the words in this sentence, and Song Yinchi unreasonably decided that it was the male Alpha who was 'smearing' and favoring her.
It is very pleasant to be unconditionally tolerated. Tong Nan's mood was a little brighter, and the soft hair tip was resting on her shoulders, soaked in blue light, adding a bit of charm. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her brows frowned slightly.
Tong Nan didn't speak again, and Song Yinchi just stood there looking at her.
The lively laughter and conversations around, as well as adults pushing children's cars passing by, but they couldn't move the atmosphere of silence.
There was a distance between the two of them, Tong Nan held his plump lips, his light brown eyes were like tranquil lakes, and confronted Song Yinchi.
No one is going to speak first.
But the phone vibrated suddenly, piercing the calm.
[You have been removed from the group chat]
Tong Nan glanced at the lock screen, smiled lightly, and tapped the screen with his fingernails, as if he didn't care.
The night before, the small work group in the department was discussing plagiarism, and she was ordered to take a vacation, which seemed to confirm her plagiarism.
Tong Nan recalled what those people said——
"Copy it, just copy it, the Tong family is so powerful, why don't you spend some money to suppress it?"
"I copied it at first glance! I bet I won't apologize, but I'm sorry for the designer, but it was copied by Tong Nan"
"Usually holding the eldest lady's airs and looking above the top, I never expected to do such a thing, tsk tsk, it's far behind Mr. Tong"
"Giving us things is like giving alms. Do you think we will be rare for those cups of milk tea? You don't do anything in the company, and you have to help her without salary."
Similar kinds.
She finally realized how unpopular she was in the company. She thought that inviting everyone to drink milk tea was for fun and relaxation, and by the way, it would increase the relationship between colleagues; besides, at work, if there was a problem with the design, she would take the initiative to help; When she was sick, she also took the initiative to take over the job, but in the end she couldn't even say thank you.
Tong Nan tried hard to restrain his temper and try to integrate into the group, but they took it for granted, enjoyed the benefits she gave, and slandered and laughed in private.
They never considered her a friend.
Tong Nan didn't get angry when he saw the mocking words of his colleagues, because it wasn't worth it at all.
She replied easily: [Then you all spit out all the money you ate and spent and give it back to me!The QR code is here. ]
Afterwards, no one dared to speak anymore, and the silent slap made people's faces hurt.
Tong Nan smiled sarcastically, and deleted the notice with a flick of his finger.
Facing Song Yinchi's concerned gaze, Tong Nan lowered his face and walked towards the door first, "Go back, thank you for your company today. As for the thing you mentioned earlier, I marked you..."
"I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer."
As soon as he got in the car, Tong Nan was in a daze, ignoring Song Yinchi's hesitation to speak.
Song Yinchi then leaned over and buckled her seat belt. The smell was strong, but it made Tong Nan embarrassed for a while. I don't know if it was a psychological effect.
The car drove onto the road, and Tong Nan's soul just came back a little bit.
Turn on the phone and log in to Weibo, and a trending search pops into my head.
The designer of the other party posted six pictures, and the popularity is already very high, and she is still the related party.
Among the six pictures, one set is very similar to the painting that Tong Nan gave to Song Yinchi. The cuffs are ingeniously embroidered with patterns, referring to the pattern of the wings of the moon god Morpho.
It turns out that people's subconscious mind really remembers the good things in the past, and they draw them unconsciously when they put pen to paper.
There is also a dark blue fishtail dress, Tong Nan was taken aback, this is what I mentioned earlier, it is very similar to the fashion she painted for the characters in "Speaking of Dreams", it was posted anonymously on the forum, but that post was later because of Removed for unknown reasons.
Tong Nan's expression was complicated. She didn't know what enmity the other party had with her, and she wanted to use this method to discredit her.
At the intersection of red lights, the car stopped. Song Yinchi noticed that something was wrong with Tong Nan, and he also came over to take a look, "This dress...is very similar to the one you gave me."
Tong Nan suddenly turned his head to look at her. The two of them were already close, but now their breaths blended together. The light fragrance of lily of the valley scattered in front of their noses, which seemed to be still warm.
Tong Nan's ears turned red, and he turned to the side without any trace. Song Yinchi seemed to be unaware of it and said, "I'll show you the painting when I go back?"
The hot air was blowing on the earlobe, Tong Nan couldn't help trembling, and pushed Song Yinchi down.
"What's wrong?" Confusion was written in the approaching black pupils, and Song Yinchi was confused by her sudden actions.
"Nothing, thank you." Tong Nan said.
"Remember to give it back to me." Song Yinchi couldn't help tightening his hand holding the steering wheel.
As soon as he got home, Tong Nan urged Song Yinchi to go back to his room to get the painting, while he sat cross-legged on the sofa to write a copy.
"Do you want to post on Weibo?" Song Yinchi sat down on the side of a cave, and the hanging hair brushed Tong Nan's side cheek, slightly itchy.
Tong Nan's typing hands paused, "Yes."
"Do you need my help?" Song Yinchi held Hua's hand and stretched back, their bare arms rubbed against each other.Both avoided.
Tong Nan tucked a lock of hair behind his ears as a cover-up, "No need."
Song Yinchi looked stubborn, and put his hands behind his back to prevent Tong Nan from touching the painting, "I helped a friend before, and I have experience."
Tong Nan opened his lips, but his thoughts were interrupted by a phone call that came in suddenly.
It was her Alpha mother, Tong Qinhuan.
His fingers stayed on the interface, and he dared not connect.The relationship between her and her mother has always been bad. With Alpha's natural arbitrariness and desire for control, her mother disagrees with her ideas. She has never supported her majoring in fashion design. Instead, she hopes that she can go abroad to study management and help her sister.
Thanks to the comfort of the gentle Omega mother, the relationship between Tong Nan and Tong Qinhuan will not be too tense.
Tong Nan could imagine Tong Qinhuan's attitude on the phone, which made her even less in the mood to answer the phone.
The bell kept ringing, Song Yinchi followed Tong Nan's movements, saw the disappointment on Tong Nan's face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her sudden utterance startled Tong Nan, and with a flick of her finger, she answered the phone by mistake.
Tong Qinhuan spoke like a cannonball, scolding Tong Nan, "Tell me about you, can you learn from your sister? I don't think you are motivated at all! If you can't draw it, you can't draw it! If you want to do crooked ways to copy ? When the limelight passes, you can help your sister, first as an assistant—"
"Mom, do you think I plagiarized like everyone else?" Tong Nan interrupted Tong Qinhuan, leaning on the sofa wearily.
"No matter what I think, the current evidence shows that you plagiarized." Tong Qinhuan said indifferently.
"I can only tell you, Mom, I don't." Tong Nan's tone was affirmative, but there was a deep sense of loss hidden in it.
"Then prove it to me." Tong Qinhuan hung up the phone directly. She always acted vigorously and resolutely. She usually didn't speak more than two sentences on the phone, and it was even rarer to call Tong Nan on her own initiative.She rules a huge business empire, and treats time as money, so she doesn't spend much time with Tong Nan since she was a child.
Tong Nan rubbed the center of his brows, and took off his coat as if feeling cold.
But the coldness rising from the bottom of my heart is so easy to resist.
Song Yinchi looked at Tong Nan huddled in the shadows under the desk lamp, she suddenly wanted to give him a warm hug, so she moved over and hugged Tong Nan.
But he didn't dare to use too much force, his arms were only resting on Tong Nan's shoulders.
Tong Nan gave up his proud mask, lowered his face, and leaned on Song Yinchi's shoulder, responding to the hug.
"Song Yinchi, why do you firmly believe that I didn't plagiarize?" She wondered how Song Yinchi could believe her regardless of the reason.
The breathing in the ears became lighter, as if waiting for the verdict, Song Yinchi held Tong Nan's body that was about to pull away, with a gentle expression on his hidden face.
"I know it's impossible for you to do something you despise and look down on. If you can't paint it, you'd rather not paint it."
Complete trust, Tong Nan's heart couldn't help trembling, she was moved by Song Yinchi.
Tong Nan whispered softly: "You can understand, why doesn't my mother understand?"
Song Yinchi supported Tong Nan's face, and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, "Tong Nan then prove yourself, throw out evidence to clarify, and show your excellence to everyone."
Your kindness deserves to be known by all.
There was warmth in Song Yinchi's dark eyes, and he didn't dare to look at him. Tong Nan awkwardly moved his face away, and straightened his waist from Song Yinchi's arms.
Messages popped up from the computer window, just a while ago, the designer posted another text-only Weibo, sarcastically mocking Tong Nan.
Tong Nan was stunned, feeling like an overturned paint tray, colorful and messy, and the comment area was even more unsightly, and her thoughts that had just been straightened out were a little messed up, so she suddenly opened the drawer to search.
"What are you looking for?" Song Yinchi couldn't help asking.
"Peppermint." Tong Nan rubbed her cheeks. The combination of mint and sweets can stabilize her mood.
Song Yinchi stood up and took out a box from the drawer under the TV. She walked over with the box, "I packed it here for you."
While talking, she took out a candy, peeled off the plastic paper, and fed the translucent candy into Tong Nan's lips. The fingertips and warm lips were separated at the touch of a touch. Song Yinchi narrowed his eyes slightly, and retracted the fingertips There is still some aftertaste in my heart, thin lips smiled, "After writing Weibo, I will forward it for you."
The tone in Tong Nan's writing was still a little impulsive, and Song Yinchi helped to process it, which made it more organized.
At the end of Weibo, @及方设计划, for a while, there were different opinions on the Internet. Tong Nan followed the trend of public opinion. Some people believed that the other party scolded her for him, some analyzed the evidence to help her speak, and some insisted on saying that the whole picture was unknown. to comment.
Of course things won't end that easily.
Tong Nan looked at the increasing number of pageviews on the screen. The red dots on the news kept disappearing, and he felt uneasy. Plagiarism would be nailed to the pillar of shame. This time it will naturally end. Many designers commented on this matter.
They spoke satirically that the evidence Tong Nan presented was more like a child joking.
The picture sent out doesn't even have a date, do you think the masses don't have their brains when they eat melons?Tong Nan also made a wrong decision. In the case of insufficient evidence, he gave the other party a chance in vain.
And the designer obviously wanted to smack Tong Nan into the mud, and then threw out a competition certificate.
It is very rare to get a place in an international design competition, let alone win an award, it is simply to win glory for the country!Netizens were in an uproar, insisting that Tong Nan plagiarized, regardless of the authenticity of the evidence just released.
A master who has won an award, can you take a fancy to the work of a fledgling person like you?What's more, the name Tong Nan has never gained a reputation in the design circle.
Jiang Anqing sent a message. He was concerned about Tong Nan's situation. There was a big age difference between the two, and they were both elders and friends.
He had been planning to speak for Tong Nan, but Tong Nan clearly refused, saying that the entire "Shuo Meng" group could not be affected because of her alone.
Tong Nan closed the computer and sighed a little sadly. She didn't know what to do, but she didn't want to give up and let others slander her.
Song Yinchi pushed her shoulder, "Why don't you take a bath first and relax. I'm tired after being outside today."
"Okay." Tong Nan nodded.
The warm water poured down from the head, and the long-stretched spirit finally relaxed a little.After taking a bath for a long time, Tong Nan took a glass of warm water and went to the living room in a nightgown.
Song Yinchi's eyes were excited, and he called Tong Nan to come and sit down, and pushed the computer over, "Jiang Anqing posted on Weibo, and he found out that the IP address of the post was not abroad."
Jiang Anqing said that he and Tong Nan were friends, and he couldn't stand by and watch Tong Nan being discredited. This evidence at least shows that the dress was not original by the designer.
As for the recent rumors on the Internet that Tong Nan and the "Speaking of Dreams" team terminated the contract, it is completely nonsense.
In just a few sentences, the focus is clear.
Netizens were vacillating, and the designer who accused Tong Nan of plagiarism was not a good guy either.
Song Yinchi pointed at the computer and said with a smile: "Look, although there is no way to prove that the original work is yours, at least some netizens have begun to question him, and he may have copied others."
"And that award, someone ridiculed him for pretending to go to four Chinese designers, he was the last one among them, and now he is boasting, many people can't understand him!"
Without a response from the people around him, Song Yinchi's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Tong Nan's profile.
"Tong Nan?" She called out tentatively, her cold face could not hide her nervousness, Tong Nan, who has always been proud, seldom breaks down emotionally, at least in Song Yinchi's memory, Tong Nan also broke up with her One day red eyes.
Tong Nan stared at the computer screen with pale eyes, noticed the gaze of the person next to him, turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Jiang Anqing helped me once, and this favor should be remembered."
After all, Tong Nan lowered his face and typed on the keyboard. The computer stayed on the interface of the mailbox, and the lines of English were dazzling. Song Yinchi didn't think too much, but thought Tong Nan could find something else to do.
Song Yinchi sat aside to write a manuscript, and stayed with Tong Nan for a while, until it was almost two o'clock in the morning, and the two of them said goodnight to each other.Tong Nan went back to the room, and instead of suffering from insomnia as expected, he fell into a deep sleep.
So much so that she didn't wake up until Liu Yiyi called for the third time in the morning.
There seemed to be a sweet fragrance of lily of the valley on the neck, Tong Nan shook his head slightly, licked his lower lip, and couldn't help but miss the warm but short hug last night.
"Tong Nan?"
Tong Nan!Tong Nan, are you listening to what I'm talking about? "Liu Yiyi yelled like a bombardment.
Tong Nan opened his mouth, "I..." Just as he started to speak, he was stopped by Liu Yiyi's next sentence.
"I'm going, you won't tell me about such a big thing?! I just found out that you also participated in the international design competition!" Liu Yiyi was referring to the post posted on Weibo by the designer who discredited Tong Nan's plagiarism. That, "Well~ not bad! The official blog has finished talking for you, although a large piece of English can't be understood--"
Liu Yiyi changed the subject, as if she was honored, "But Tong Nan, you are still the gold medal in the competition! You are the first domestic player to win the grand prize in ten years. Now the Internet is full of praise for you, this reversal is also true. It’s too awesome! Don’t talk about it! I’m going to post yin and yang on Weibo!”
Tong Nan hung up the phone, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly went to Weibo to read it. The number one most searched was #通宜大赛金奖#, which was extremely popular and the scope of discussion was not small.
The official blog with an English name did post a Weibo that spoke for her. Tong Nan took a look at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and put away the phone.
Last night, she contacted the judges of the international design competition by email for help. Today's good show was actually expected.
Contrary to his mother's ideals, Tong Nan, who had just graduated, was put into the company by Tong Qinhuan as an assistant. Tong Nan was tired of socializing. He happened to hear that an international competition was going on, so he went there with the mentality of giving it a try.
She used the pseudonym Tong, and after communicating with the competition, she participated in the competition on the other side of the ocean through monitoring.
So only the insiders of the competition know that the mysterious gold medalist Tong is her.
Her designs are novel and innovative, with obvious styles, typical of talented players, with sharp and soft lines, which is quite different from the cold and hard style of the male Alpha.
Comparing the two, people who eat melons are inevitably confused.
A person who has won a gold medal has strength in himself.
Letting the official stand in line shows that the character is not bad. What's more, the design drawings announced by the male Alpha are really not like his previous style, but like Tong Nan's paintings.
But these are not considered by Tong Nan.
The male designer was still hopping on Weibo in the early hours of the morning, but within two hours, the public opinion on the whole network reversed, and he became the target of public criticism.
He sent a private message begging Tong Nan not to pursue it.
Once there is a lawsuit, how can he afford it?Naturally, Tong Nan ignored it and handed it over to the legal team.
After washing and leaving the bedroom, I saw Song Yinchi sitting at the dining table, wearing an off-white sweater, biting a piece of bread in his mouth, and seeing Tong Nan coming out, he smiled at her.
Her eyebrows were curved, and a large area of sunlight poured in from behind, which made her very warm.
Tong Nan was startled, then smiled with his lips curled up, pulled out the chair and sat across from him.
"Tong Nan, so you are so good." Song Yinchi poured a cup of warm milk for Tong Nan, with sincere admiration in his voice.
"Yeah." Tong Nan took a bite of the softly baked bread, the smell was delicious, and his whole heart sank slightly.
Things are over.
Tong Nan was invited by Liu Yiyi to go out to celebrate. The restaurant is a restaurant they often go to, on the fourth floor of the shopping mall.
The two walked around the third floor first, with bags of all sizes hanging on their arms, and then dragged their sore legs to the reserved store.
Choosing a corner by the window, Tong Nan drank lemonade with a straw, staring at the barbecue and "sizzling".
When your mind is empty, some things that you have deliberately avoided before will come out.If she really marked Song Yinchi, then she must be responsible, and it's time for her to reconsider their current relationship——
She already owed Song Yinchi, and she should pay back what was stipulated in the contract.
The decoration of the store is good, and the service attitude is also good. The barbecue is flavored with onions, and it tastes just right in your mouth.So Tong Nan and Liu Yiyi often come here.
"Don't you tell me such a big secret?" Liu Yiyi's eyes locked on Tong Nan's face, and she seized the opportunity to ask a question.
"I don't know... She just mentioned it to me yesterday. I don't even know what happened in high school," Tong Nan puffed his cheeks, "I don't know what to do now. I should be responsible to her , but we are both Omega, I think it's outrageous—”
"What's outrageous?" Liu Yiyi tapped Tong Nan's forehead and said with a smile, "Anyway, you don't like the feeling of being controlled by Alpha. If you have a high degree of compatibility and are suitable for each other, why can't you try it?"
Why not try?
Tong Nan was taken aback.It was nothing more than that she couldn't give Song Yinchi a guarantee, couldn't give the kind of relationship that was maintained through AO's natural pairing.
Their relationship must be fragile.
Tong Nan thought a lot.
The prolonged daze made the pupils covered with a thin layer of water mist, and the two people who entered the door were trapped in a hazy halo.
But as the distance got closer, Tong Nan was dumbfounded.
Song Yinchi and Wang Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing.
Song Yinchi was wearing a hip-wrapping skirt that fitted her waistline. From top to bottom, she had a charming curve of a woman. Her eyes were as soft as water. She turned her face and smiled at Wang Xuan. Her earrings were smart and curled up The tip of the nose is a little pink, delicate and charming.
Tong Nan watched the two walk by in front of him, but Song Yinchi didn't cast a glance at her.
Did you not see it?
Or intentional?
As if struck by lightning, Tong Nan stared at Song Yinchi in disbelief, and at the same time took a big step back.
"Am I a scourge?"
Song Yinchi's introverted eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked pitifully, "Tong Nan... you don't dare to admit what you have done yourself now?"
Dare not admit it?Tong Nan's heart skipped a beat, she was not this kind of person, she was always daring to do something, but now facing Song Yinchi, she became a little hesitant.
She turned her back and racked her brains to figure out how to answer, but she heard the person behind her say in a cold and reserved tone:

You can't be friends, but you can be lovers.
Song Yinchi smiled from the bottom of his heart, but didn't say it out, for fear that the little cat would be blown up if he said it.
"Just because of that?" Song Yinchi leaned against him, half of him covered in ice-blue light, gloomy and indifferent, and said softly, "But Tong Nan, what you see may not be true. Just like online Those remarks—do you remember that you gave me a painting before."
"What did you say at the time?" Song Yinchi's tone was slow, which reminded Tong Nan, "You said that you would design clothes for me to wear in the future, and the suit in the picture is a new idea, so I specially shared it with me..."

It was her Alpha mother, Tong Qinhuan.
His fingers stayed on the interface, and he dared not connect.The relationship between her and her mother has always been bad. With Alpha's natural arbitrariness and desire for control, her mother disagrees with her ideas. She has never supported her majoring in fashion design. Instead, she hopes that she can go abroad to study management and help her sister.
Thanks to the comfort of the gentle Omega mother, the relationship between Tong Nan and Tong Qinhuan will not be too tense.
Tong Nan could imagine Tong Qinhuan's attitude on the phone, which made her even less in the mood to answer the phone.
The bell kept ringing, Song Yinchi followed Tong Nan's movements, saw the disappointment on Tong Nan's face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Her sudden utterance startled Tong Nan, and with a flick of her finger, she answered the phone by mistake.
Tong Qinhuan spoke like a cannonball, scolding Tong Nan, "Tell me about you, can you learn from your sister? I don't think you are motivated at all! If you can't draw it, you can't draw it! If you want to do crooked ways to copy ? When the limelight passes, you can help your sister, first as an assistant—"
"Mom, do you think I plagiarized like everyone else?" Tong Nan interrupted Tong Qinhuan, leaning on the sofa wearily.
"No matter what I think, the current evidence shows that you plagiarized." Tong Qinhuan said indifferently.
"I can only tell you, Mom, I don't." Tong Nan's tone was affirmative, but there was a deep sense of loss hidden in it.
"Then prove it to me." Tong Qinhuan hung up the phone directly. She always acted vigorously and resolutely. She usually didn't speak more than two sentences on the phone, and it was even rarer to call Tong Nan on her own initiative.She rules a huge business empire, and treats time as money, so she doesn't spend much time with Tong Nan since she was a child.
Tong Nan rubbed the center of his brows, and took off his coat as if feeling cold.
But the coldness rising from the bottom of my heart is so easy to resist.
Song Yinchi looked at Tong Nan huddled in the shadows under the desk lamp, she suddenly wanted to give him a warm hug, so she moved over and hugged Tong Nan.
But he didn't dare to use too much force, his arms were only resting on Tong Nan's shoulders.
Tong Nan gave up his proud mask, lowered his face, and leaned on Song Yinchi's shoulder, responding to the hug.
"Song Yinchi, why do you firmly believe that I didn't plagiarize?" She wondered how Song Yinchi could believe her regardless of the reason.
The breathing in the ears became lighter, as if waiting for the verdict, Song Yinchi held Tong Nan's body that was about to pull away, with a gentle expression on his hidden face.
"I know it's impossible for you to do something you despise and look down on. If you can't paint it, you'd rather not paint it."
Complete trust, Tong Nan's heart couldn't help trembling, she was moved by Song Yinchi.
Tong Nan whispered softly: "You can understand, why doesn't my mother understand?"
Song Yinchi supported Tong Nan's face, and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips, "Tong Nan then prove yourself, throw out evidence to clarify, and show your excellence to everyone."
Your kindness deserves to be known by all.
There was warmth in Song Yinchi's dark eyes, and he didn't dare to look at him. Tong Nan awkwardly moved his face away, and straightened his waist from Song Yinchi's arms.
Messages popped up from the computer window, just a while ago, the designer posted another text-only Weibo, sarcastically mocking Tong Nan.
Tong Nan was stunned, feeling like an overturned paint tray, colorful and messy, and the comment area was even more unsightly, and her thoughts that had just been straightened out were a little messed up, so she suddenly opened the drawer to search.
"What are you looking for?" Song Yinchi couldn't help asking.
"Peppermint." Tong Nan rubbed her cheeks. The combination of mint and sweets can stabilize her mood.
Song Yinchi stood up and took out a box from the drawer under the TV. She walked over with the box, "I packed it here for you."
While talking, she took out a candy, peeled off the plastic paper, and fed the translucent candy into Tong Nan's lips. The fingertips and warm lips were separated at the touch of a touch. Song Yinchi narrowed his eyes slightly, and retracted the fingertips There is still some aftertaste in my heart, thin lips smiled, "After writing Weibo, I will forward it for you."
The tone in Tong Nan's writing was still a little impulsive, and Song Yinchi helped to process it, which made it more organized.
At the end of Weibo, @及方设计划, for a while, there were different opinions on the Internet. Tong Nan followed the trend of public opinion. Some people believed that the other party scolded her for him, some analyzed the evidence to help her speak, and some insisted on saying that the whole picture was unknown. to comment.
Of course things won't end that easily.
Tong Nan looked at the increasing number of pageviews on the screen. The red dots on the news kept disappearing, and he felt uneasy. Plagiarism would be nailed to the pillar of shame. This time it will naturally end. Many designers commented on this matter.
They spoke satirically that the evidence Tong Nan presented was more like a child joking.
The picture sent out doesn't even have a date, do you think the masses don't have their brains when they eat melons?Tong Nan also made a wrong decision. In the case of insufficient evidence, he gave the other party a chance in vain.
And the designer obviously wanted to smack Tong Nan into the mud, and then threw out a competition certificate.
It is very rare to get a place in an international design competition, let alone win an award, it is simply to win glory for the country!Netizens were in an uproar, insisting that Tong Nan plagiarized, regardless of the authenticity of the evidence just released.
A master who has won an award, can you take a fancy to the work of a fledgling person like you?What's more, the name Tong Nan has never gained a reputation in the design circle.
Jiang Anqing sent a message. He was concerned about Tong Nan's situation. There was a big age difference between the two, and they were both elders and friends.
He had been planning to speak for Tong Nan, but Tong Nan clearly refused, saying that the entire "Shuo Meng" group could not be affected because of her alone.
Tong Nan closed the computer and sighed a little sadly. She didn't know what to do, but she didn't want to give up and let others slander her.
Song Yinchi pushed her shoulder, "Why don't you take a bath first and relax. I'm tired after being outside today."
"Okay." Tong Nan nodded.
The warm water poured down from the head, and the long-stretched spirit finally relaxed a little.After taking a bath for a long time, Tong Nan took a glass of warm water and went to the living room in a nightgown.
Song Yinchi's eyes were excited, and he called Tong Nan to come and sit down, and pushed the computer over, "Jiang Anqing posted on Weibo, and he found out that the IP address of the post was not abroad."
Jiang Anqing said that he and Tong Nan were friends, and he couldn't stand by and watch Tong Nan being discredited. This evidence at least shows that the dress was not original by the designer.
As for the recent rumors on the Internet that Tong Nan and the "Speaking of Dreams" team terminated the contract, it is completely nonsense.
In just a few sentences, the focus is clear.
Netizens were vacillating, and the designer who accused Tong Nan of plagiarism was not a good guy either.
Song Yinchi pointed at the computer and said with a smile: "Look, although there is no way to prove that the original work is yours, at least some netizens have begun to question him, and he may have copied others."
"And that award, someone ridiculed him for pretending to go to four Chinese designers, he was the last one among them, and now he is boasting, many people can't understand him!"
Without a response from the people around him, Song Yinchi's voice stopped abruptly, and he turned his head to look at Tong Nan's profile.
"Tong Nan?" She called out tentatively, her cold face could not hide her nervousness, Tong Nan, who has always been proud, seldom breaks down emotionally, at least in Song Yinchi's memory, Tong Nan also broke up with her One day red eyes.
Tong Nan stared at the computer screen with pale eyes, noticed the gaze of the person next to him, turned his head and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Jiang Anqing helped me once, and this favor should be remembered."
After all, Tong Nan lowered his face and typed on the keyboard. The computer stayed on the interface of the mailbox, and the lines of English were dazzling. Song Yinchi didn't think too much, but thought Tong Nan could find something else to do.
Song Yinchi sat aside to write a manuscript, and stayed with Tong Nan for a while, until it was almost two o'clock in the morning, and the two of them said goodnight to each other.Tong Nan went back to the room, and instead of suffering from insomnia as expected, he fell into a deep sleep.
So much so that she didn't wake up until Liu Yiyi called for the third time in the morning.
There seemed to be a sweet fragrance of lily of the valley on the neck, Tong Nan shook his head slightly, licked his lower lip, and couldn't help but miss the warm but short hug last night.
"Tong Nan?"
Tong Nan!Tong Nan, are you listening to what I'm talking about? "Liu Yiyi yelled like a bombardment.
Tong Nan opened his mouth, "I..." Just as he started to speak, he was stopped by Liu Yiyi's next sentence.
"I'm going, you won't tell me about such a big thing?! I just found out that you also participated in the international design competition!" Liu Yiyi was referring to the post posted on Weibo by the designer who discredited Tong Nan's plagiarism. That, "Well~ not bad! The official blog has finished talking for you, although a large piece of English can't be understood--"
Liu Yiyi changed the subject, as if she was honored, "But Tong Nan, you are still the gold medal in the competition! You are the first domestic player to win the grand prize in ten years. Now the Internet is full of praise for you, this reversal is also true. It’s too awesome! Don’t talk about it! I’m going to post yin and yang on Weibo!”
Tong Nan hung up the phone, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly went to Weibo to read it. The number one most searched was #通宜大赛金奖#, which was extremely popular and the scope of discussion was not small.
The official blog with an English name did post a Weibo that spoke for her. Tong Nan took a look at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and put away the phone.
Last night, she contacted the judges of the international design competition by email for help. Today's good show was actually expected.
Contrary to his mother's ideals, Tong Nan, who had just graduated, was put into the company by Tong Qinhuan as an assistant. Tong Nan was tired of socializing. He happened to hear that an international competition was going on, so he went there with the mentality of giving it a try.
She used the pseudonym Tong, and after communicating with the competition, she participated in the competition on the other side of the ocean through monitoring.
So only the insiders of the competition know that the mysterious gold medalist Tong is her.
Her designs are novel and innovative, with obvious styles, typical of talented players, with sharp and soft lines, which is quite different from the cold and hard style of the male Alpha.
Comparing the two, people who eat melons are inevitably confused.
A person who has won a gold medal has strength in himself.
Letting the official stand in line shows that the character is not bad. What's more, the design drawings announced by the male Alpha are really not like his previous style, but like Tong Nan's paintings.
But these are not considered by Tong Nan.
The male designer was still hopping on Weibo in the early hours of the morning, but within two hours, the public opinion on the whole network reversed, and he became the target of public criticism.
He sent a private message begging Tong Nan not to pursue it.
Once there is a lawsuit, how can he afford it?Naturally, Tong Nan ignored it and handed it over to the legal team.
After washing and leaving the bedroom, I saw Song Yinchi sitting at the dining table, wearing an off-white sweater, biting a piece of bread in his mouth, and seeing Tong Nan coming out, he smiled at her.
Her eyebrows were curved, and a large area of sunlight poured in from behind, which made her very warm.
Tong Nan was startled, then smiled with his lips curled up, pulled out the chair and sat across from him.
"Tong Nan, so you are so good." Song Yinchi poured a cup of warm milk for Tong Nan, with sincere admiration in his voice.
"Yeah." Tong Nan took a bite of the softly baked bread, the smell was delicious, and his whole heart sank slightly.
Things are over.
Tong Nan was invited by Liu Yiyi to go out to celebrate. The restaurant is a restaurant they often go to, on the fourth floor of the shopping mall.
The two walked around the third floor first, with bags of all sizes hanging on their arms, and then dragged their sore legs to the reserved store.
Choosing a corner by the window, Tong Nan drank lemonade with a straw, staring at the barbecue and "sizzling".
When your mind is empty, some things that you have deliberately avoided before will come out.If she really marked Song Yinchi, then she must be responsible, and it's time for her to reconsider their current relationship——
She already owed Song Yinchi, and she should pay back what was stipulated in the contract.
The decoration of the store is good, and the service attitude is also good. The barbecue is flavored with onions, and it tastes just right in your mouth.So Tong Nan and Liu Yiyi often come here.
"Don't you tell me such a big secret?" Liu Yiyi's eyes locked on Tong Nan's face, and she seized the opportunity to ask a question.
"I don't know... She just mentioned it to me yesterday. I don't even know what happened in high school," Tong Nan puffed his cheeks, "I don't know what to do now. I should be responsible to her , but we are both Omega, I think it's outrageous—”
"What's outrageous?" Liu Yiyi tapped Tong Nan's forehead and said with a smile, "Anyway, you don't like the feeling of being controlled by Alpha. If you have a high degree of compatibility and are suitable for each other, why can't you try it?"
Why not try?
Tong Nan was taken aback.It was nothing more than that she couldn't give Song Yinchi a guarantee, couldn't give the kind of relationship that was maintained through AO's natural pairing.
Their relationship must be fragile.
Tong Nan thought a lot.
The prolonged daze made the pupils covered with a thin layer of water mist, and the two people who entered the door were trapped in a hazy halo.
But as the distance got closer, Tong Nan was dumbfounded.
Song Yinchi and Wang Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder, talking and laughing.
Song Yinchi was wearing a hip-wrapping skirt that fitted her waistline. From top to bottom, she had a charming curve of a woman. Her eyes were as soft as water. She turned her face and smiled at Wang Xuan. Her earrings were smart and curled up The tip of the nose is a little pink, delicate and charming.
Tong Nan watched the two walk by in front of him, but Song Yinchi didn't cast a glance at her.
Did you not see it?
Or intentional?
