you and love

In October of Linghai, the sky is bright and the air is clear.

Xiao Yige was invited to Qinzhou to watch the jewelry design competition held by Nyx Group.

The time was just around the end of her agreement with Suhang. She wanted to refuse, but after chatting with Suhang on WeChat, she found out that Suhang was going to Qinzhou for business in those few days.

It just so happens that both of them are going to Qinzhou, and when the time comes, they can talk about their conversations by the way.

She told Suhang that she would also go to Qinzhou to attend a friend's appointment, and then meet in Qinzhou.

Xiao Yige's friend is Zora, the president of Nyx Group, whom she saw in Suhang's notebook.

The Jewelry Design Contest was held for three days. The first two days were auditions for freelance designers, which took a long time due to the large number of freelance designers.

The third day is the local design brand competition. The companies participating in the competition send a designer to compete. The champion winner will become the cooperative brand of Nyx Group in China, and the designer representing the company participating in the competition is a well-deserved new brand design department manager.

Xiao Yige is not very interested in design, but because Suhang likes it, when he has dinner with Zora, he reads the brochure of the contestants and the first round of works given by him.

They met at a hotel under the Huasheng Group, and the two friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted while eating mandarin duck hot pot.

Zora is a French-Swiss mixed race, very typical and attractive European features, blond, blue eyes, three-dimensional facial features.

Xiao Yige originally had an extremely eye-catching appearance, but when he was by Zora's side, it actually made him look softer.

"Ahhh..." Zora stuck out her tongue, her nondescript Chinese became more and more funny, "It's so spicy, Artemis, you Chinese can really eat spicy food!"

Xiao Yige flipped through the brochure without looking up, and joked with her gloatingly: "If you want to find a Chinese girlfriend, you must not only practice Chinese well, but also be able to eat spicy food."

Zora took a big gulp of ice-cola, gasping for breath: "This time the designers participating in the competition are all arranged to stay in your hotel, and some of them are very beautiful! By the way, why haven't you fallen in love yet?"

Seeing a pretty good necklace, Xiao Yige stopped turning the pages while pursing his lips into a smile: "Don't worry."

Zora saw that she was interested, and pointed to the footer, "Look at the back, I think the overall level of these freelance designers is no better than the brand representative designers behind."

"I don't know much about these things, they all look pretty good." Xiao Yige flipped through the pages slowly, not really interested.

Just when she was about to turn to the last page, the name that she had silently recited thousands of times suddenly appeared.

She couldn't help sitting upright, rubbing her thumb repeatedly on Su Hang's name, the emotions in her eyes were entangled with complicated thoughts.

Cheng Zhiang's interference, the three-month agreement, the Nyx Group's joint brand competition, and Grandma Chang's voice of polishing jewelry on the phone, and the busyness of Su Hang deliberately covering her hands in the video a few days ago.

Too many details converged to paint a picture almost full of colors in her mind.

"How about it!" Seeing her staring at the high-resolution picture of the work, Zora couldn't help bragging about her vision, "You also think the latter ones are better, don't you? You laymen think it's good at a glance, and this is proof!"

Xiao Yige's ears were buzzing, but he couldn't hear a word.

She was full of distracting thoughts after eating this hot pot, and she didn't go shopping with Zora after eating, and called Secretary Qiao after returning to her room.

Within a few minutes, Secretary Qiao came excitedly.

"This is the list for tomorrow, Director Su represents Jingluo Jewelry!"

"In the previous preliminary competition, we will select the best-looking ones according to the design appearance of the works!"

"There will be ten finalists left in the finals. Zora, the president of Nyx Group, will be selected together with the chief designer and senior designers. Contestants need to present their design ideas on stage. The three judges will score, and the one with the highest total score will win!"

Secretary Qiao handed a document to Xiao Yige, and explained it to her emotionally.

"Would you like to meet her and cheer her up!"

Xiao Yige closed the document, the only remaining doubt no longer clogged her heart so much, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ask the kitchen to make her a late-night snack, not too greasy, less sugar for dessert, and some tea to soothe the nerves. Said it was sent by the hotel."

Secretary Qiao's smile froze: "Hey, why don't you go and see her..."

Xiao Yige caressed the side of the folder with his fingers, and smiled softly: "I'm afraid she will get nervous when she sees me."

Suhang has prepared for such a long battle, and finally the outcome is about to be revealed. She can't disturb Suhang's mind at this time.

"Oh, that's right..." Secretary Qiao also had the same meaning, and then quickly remembered something, "So, do you want to agree to the good seat arranged for you by Zora? I see the seat on the floor plan It's very eye-catching, Director Su must be able to see it."

She took Xiao Yisinger's file and opened it, and the floor plan pointed to a seat near the judges' seat.

It is indeed very conspicuous, the location is very superior, and it can see the entire stage just like the judges' seats.

Xiao Yige resolutely refused: "Go and reply to them and arrange an audience seat for me."

"Okay." Secretary Qiao led the retreat.

The room returned to tranquility, Xiao Yige went to sit down on the tea table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the busy traffic below.

When Secretary Qiao sent the message that the supper had been delivered, she called Suhang with a smile in her eyes.

"Busy?" She poured a cup of tea with an empty hand, leaned back in the chair, and looked at the stars in the night sky.

The voice of Suhang, who was in the same building, was tainted by the mobile phone with a sense of distance, as if thousands of miles away: "No, I am looking at the stars."

Probably nervous?

Xiao Yige tapped the body of the cup lightly with his fingertips, looked at the same starry sky but smiled without saying a word.

She remembered that a few months ago, the night before the archery competition, Su Hang's face didn't show anything, but he was busy all the time, helping Grandma Chang to do this and that.

Suhang suddenly smiled, "Your hotel is very considerate, and there is a midnight snack at night."

Xiao Yige's eyes were full of gentle smiles, and he pretended to be surprised: "So you live in my hotel... It's a pity, I live in a friend's house."

Suhang said "um", "I don't know when I will finish my work tomorrow night. If it is still early, I will call you. If it is too late, we will see you the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xiao Yige's sly smile was not leaked by the voice.

She couldn't wait to turn the clock to tomorrow night. She wanted to see Suhang's appearance on stage, and also wanted to see what Suhang's expression would be when he saw her.

Regardless of whether Suhang can stand out or not, she is already the brightest star in her heart.

They didn't hang up the phone, and tacitly continued their ambiguous last time under the same starry sky.

She would get the answer she wanted as soon as tomorrow night.

"What did you eat at night? The hotel's supper is not bad. I shouldn't be able to finish it."

"You can't tell me if you can't finish it, or you can tell me what it tastes like, and let me satisfy my craving."

"Have you never eaten the supper in your hotel?"

"Then you don't know. My family's hotel food is constantly being developed and matched according to the season. I haven't tasted it recently."

Xiao Yige lied without blushing and heartbeat, prolonging the topic with ease, enjoying the beauty of the night sky and the irresistible tenderness in the melodious voice of the person beside him.

The weather in Qinzhou on the next day was fine, Xiao Yige lay in bed in the hotel room, lazily watching the live broadcast of the match on the wall-mounted TV.

The main event is the final at night, and the morning competition is just based on the appearance of the works, which will not give the contestants too many opportunities to perform.

She simply saved the time to go to the scene, and dealt with the work on the bed, while waiting for Su Hang's brief appearance.

She was very familiar with Suhang's voice, and it took only a few minutes to introduce herself and exit.

Fortunately, they successfully passed the knockout round, and the top ten designers went back to the hotel to rest for an afternoon.

The final in the evening can be compared with the top jewelry exhibitions in China. Not only is the venue grand and grand, but it is also well-known by many peers in the industry.

Xiao Yige came in a burgundy long dress, and there were many photographers with guns and guns in the auditorium. She hid in the shadow of the crowd, looking forward to Suhang's appearance.

"Welcome everyone to watch our Nyx Group's partnership brand campaign. I am honored that everyone has given me face like this! Hey, is that the word..."

Zora delivered a speech in Odaiba. Her funny Chinese made the audience burst into laughter, and the solemn atmosphere brought by the spotlight was dissolved by her fingers.

Secretary Qiao covered her mouth and nose with the back of her hand, and whispered to Xiao Yige: "I have inquired about it. The order of appearance tonight is based on the ranking of the winner of the knockout round in the morning. Director Su chose to appear last."

"It's pretty good." Xiao Yige smiled and pulled back his long hair, then relaxed his body and leaned back in the soft chair.

For such a grand event that requires speeches, everyone racked their brains and tried their best, and the later they appeared, the more countermeasures they would have.

Of course, the disadvantage is that the judges and the audience are almost exhausted by the end. It just depends on whether there is a way to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm.

Zora's speech ended quickly, followed by the appearance of the first designer.

The entries were placed on the lifting platform and slowly raised, and the six sides of the shelf were photographed by cameras, and the highest-definition details were displayed on the big screen, and then the designer explained the design inspiration and concept one by one.

Xiao Yige propped his chin with one hand in a lack of interest, waiting for Suhang to suppress the sleepy bugs from multiplying too much.

The designers actually prepared two works, one for the knockout round in the morning, and the other for the finals in the evening. Now the final cards of each designer are shown on the stage in turn.

In all fairness, several designs in a row are very exquisite. Even if you don’t win an award in this competition, you can go on the market as usual after you go back, and there will be no problem in positioning high-end designs.

Thinking about it this way, she looked forward to Suhang's works even more.

"It's really a fight between gods," Secretary Qiao leaned into her ear and whispered, "Director Su's work in this morning's competition is already pretty good, what's the necklace called 'Wind and Rain'... I don't know what she will wear later. What kind of baby is on stage."

"I'm also looking forward to it." Xiao Yige smiled, and his expectations for Suhang's works became stronger and stronger.

In such anticipation, she clearly felt that the enthusiasm of the audience was gradually weakened by time, and the whispers changed from frequent to rare.

The night was getting dark, and the last designer on stage finally walked into the corridor leading to the stage in the announcement. The frosty and snowy face on the big screen was like the cold wind in the snow, causing quite a commotion when it passed by.

"This designer looks great!"

"Yeah, it's a bit cold and a bit A-like, why did you come out now?"

"You didn't watch this morning's knockout match. She is the chief designer of Whale Fall."

Even Secretary Qiao came over in surprise: "Director Su looks so good today! Wear a formal suit!"

Xiao Yige listened to all these amazing comments about Suhang's appearance, smiled and watched the figure on the big screen.

Su Hang's long hair is slightly raised, and she wears a black lady's suit with the buttons of her jacket open, revealing a black slender tie tied around the neckline of a white shirt. Lost elegance.

When she stood still on the stage, Zora in the judges' seat picked up the microphone: "The last designer, let's start."

Su Hang bowed, adjusted the angle of the headset, and then the clear voice flowed through the audience like a cool mountain spring: "I am the designer of Jingluo Jewelry, Su Hang. It is getting late now, I know everyone is very tired, I hope my design can drive away a little drowsiness for everyone and lock them up temporarily."

Her voice was so clear and clean, without even a hint of a smile, and there was an indescribable sense of contrast when she said something that was half caring and half joking, which unexpectedly attracted many people to laugh out loud.

The designers tonight were all well-behaved, and they began to explain their works when they got on stage, and Su Hang was the first to activate the atmosphere.

The three judges on the jury table also relaxed and laughed in unison.

Xiao Yige couldn't help but chuckled, and heard Secretary Qiao chuckle beside her ear: "She is really good at talking today."

Suhang on the stage slightly raised his lips, turned his body slightly to look at the raised lifting platform, and the camera on the big screen also switched to the high-definition angle of the work.

On the shelf is an eye-catching ring. The ring is not as smooth as the usual rings, but is carved into intertwined branches. The silvery white branches surround a circle and embrace a ring in the center. A ruby ​​rose, noble and dazzling.

"Everyone knows that the jewelry industry pays great attention to the design of love. It is no exaggeration to say that this design direction occupies a large part of all designs. The theme I have designed the most is also love, but no one knows. I never really understood love until I designed this ring."

She turned her head to look at the auditorium, and her dull gaze became warm at some point.

A large screen on the side cuts the camera to a close-up of her, and conveys her expression to the audience with her words.

"I believe everyone has heard an idiom, moths to the flame. Now this idiom is often used to describe hopeless love, and the long-awaited intimacy becomes less beautiful. But in fact, love should be self-cultivation , it shouldn’t be a fire that devours my lover, I don’t want my loved one to be burned by the fire.”

She turned her face to look at the large screen in the center again, and the base on the shelf displayed on it was slowly rotating, allowing the audience to see the ring as a whole.

"Love is to keep her thorns intact, not to break her thorns and leave her no edges."

The appearance of her eloquent talk is no longer frowning, and for the first time in the auditorium, thunderous applause was heard from the designer before the end of the explanation.

Xiao Yige unconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his hands supporting his side face, lightly biting his red lips under his knuckles, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

The people on the stage faced the auditorium and smiled at the people below.

"I was lucky to understand this when I was ignorant of love. So I designed this ring. My lover is the red rose I want to protect. She may be stronger than me and may be able to protect our relationship better But it doesn't affect my desire to protect her."

Xiao Yige sniffed, his eyes were sore and astringent, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard these words.

She saw Su Hang's gaze so soft on the screen, and even her usually indifferent voice couldn't resist the erosion of affection after all.

"I gave the ring a name, it's called..."

"Among the dust in the world, you and love are supreme."

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Hang Hang: Confess once in public, and confess again after stepping down, yay!

Yi Ge: Hang Hang talked a lot today.

"In the dust of the world" comes from Li Shangyin's "Bei Qingluo". The original sentence is "In the dust of the world, I would rather love or hate". Follow up with the sentence "you and love first".

My idea is: everything in the world is nothing more than a speck of dust, we can either "I prefer love and hate" or "you and love come first".
