Chapter 52: Award Results

She was first enthusiastic, then excited, then bored, and finally became bitter and resentful, her fair face actually wrinkled up.

This reminded Shen Jichuan of a white steamed bun, and the beautiful folds on the bun.

He whispered a few words to Little Liu next to him.

Little Liu immediately nodded slightly and turned to leave.

After a while, he came back and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shen Jichuan’s expression was a little surprised.

He seemed stunned.

But he quickly relaxed.

Her seat was indeed the designer seat.

Shen Jichuan’s eyes deepened slightly.

As far as he knew, his little fiancée always liked literature, and the letters she wrote were all very elegant.

But she is a college student after all, he could understand.

Unlike him, he was barely literate.

He just didn’t expect that she could draw?

Shen Jichuan’s mood was a little complicated, and he was also subtly happy.

Originally, meeting on the train was just an accident, Shen Jichuan missed her very much, and he was even set on fire by her intentional or unintentional teasing.

But she always had that innocent and well-behaved look, she would look at him with those clear eyes and a smile.

So after they separated, Shen Jichuan wasn’t sure anymore.

Considering the girl’s family background, maybe he had misunderstood.

She was just naturally like that, she didn’t intentionally tease him.

That must be it!

Shen Jichuan had been living in a man’s world since he was a teenager, some older soldiers who had been married would tell dirty jokes when they had nothing to do.

So even though he hadn’t been married, he knew a little bit.

But what did his little girl know? She didn’t know anything, she just instinctively felt grateful for him, and she relied on him.

This feeling was really good.

Shen Jichuan smiled slightly.

Then he thought, before they officially got married, it was really a sweet burden!

But right now, he had a mission, and it was inconvenient to meet her for now.

Shen Jichuan stared deeply at that fair and beautiful face, as if he wanted to engrave his little girl in his heart.

Little Liu remembered what he saw on the train, he gathered his courage and teased, “Brother Shen, won’t you say hello to your sister?”

Shen Jichuan came back to his senses, his face regained its usual coldness, “Are you free?”

Little Liu: …

Little Liu was dumbfounded.

He looked at the girl with a spring in her heart, and when he looked at me, he turned back into the cold King Yama.

Tsk! Can’t compare, can’t compare!

He pouted, and immediately shut his mouth.

…

Xia Keqing didn’t know that her every move was being watched by Shen Jichuan.

Actually, when she entered the venue just now, she caught a glimpse of a figure, and the moment she saw that figure, she felt that it was Shen Jichuan.

At least so far, the only perfect clothes hanger she had ever seen was Shen Jichuan.

Tsk, that look in a green military uniform, it was just a rush of hormones.

But she only saw a profile, it only flashed by, so Xia Keqing wasn’t sure if she had seen wrong.

How could Shen Jichuan be here?

Didn’t he go on a mission?

So she wouldn’t think that Shen Jichuan would be here.

…

The theme of this designer competition was warmth.

If it was anything else, Xia Keqing might not be good at it, but “warmth” was something she was very good at.

Before she transmigrated, she was naturally afraid of the cold, when she was young and helpless, she didn’t think about getting checked, being alive, having three meals a day, and staying warm were all lucky.

When she grew up, she worked hard and saved some money, and she came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, and only then did she know that it was because of her cold body.

So she paid special attention to staying warm, she treated almost every winter as a day to nourish her health. She also paid special attention to her clothes.

The south is cold and humid in winter, although the temperature isn’t as low as in the north, but the humid and cold weather is not good for the joints.

So clothes need to be both beautiful and warm, windproof and waterproof.

Xia Keqing directly drew her masterpiece…

This designer competition used the method of drawing on the spot and judging on the spot.

Therefore, after Xia Keqing submitted her work with her name on it, she was free to move around the venue.

Yu Hong hurried over.

Because she was worried that Xia Keqing would be nervous, she didn’t even ask, she diligently handed her half a peeled apple.

“Where did you get the apple?”

Yu Hong waved her hand, “I bought it just now.”

Xia Keqing thought, good heavens, I’m drawing here, and you went out to buy apples?

Sure enough, she saw a bag of apples in a woven bag thrown at Yu Hong’s feet.

Very vintage.

Xia Keqing took a bite, and couldn’t help but squint her eyes, the apple was really good, it was fragrant, crisp, and sweet.

Yu Hong was very happy to see Xia Keqing liking the apple she bought, “You like it? I’ll give you all of them later.”

Xia Keqing quickly waved her hand, “Enough, enough.”

“What are you being polite to your aunt for?”

…

The two chatted for a while, and Yu Hong finally couldn’t help but ask, “So how do you think you did?”

Xia Keqing didn’t know the level of the other designers.

But she knew her own level.

She’s a craft enthusiast, it’s true, but she’s also an amateur, and besides, she never thought about developing this industry in this life, she just wanted to make some money, this time she came to participate in the designer competition, just to find a suitable factory that was willing to process the clothes she designed.

So she smiled and said, “It’s okay.”

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say it was okay.

“You’re always reliable, you said it’s okay, you’ll definitely win.”

Xia Keqing: …

Aunt, you’re too blindly confident in me…

The results of the competition were announced, the champion was not Xia Keqing, nor Zhou Xian, or “Little Yellow Hair” Zhao Qi, but a woman who dressed in a gender-neutral way.

The reason why Xia Keqing judged her to be female was because her angle was just right to see her neck.

She didn’t have an Adam’s apple.

Besides the first prize, the organizing committee also thoughtfully set up second and third prizes.

Xia Keqing got second place.

Interestingly, besides the first and second prizes, all the other participating designers received third prizes.

Xia Keqing silently complained in her heart.

It seems that Xuefei Clothing Factory is a “master of playing it safe”.

They don’t offend anyone.

Sure enough, the factory director with a square face and an upright look went up and said something about the importance of participation, the main purpose of this competition was to attract designers, and the winners would have the opportunity to cooperate with Xuefei.

Xuefei Clothing Factory is a well-known name in the local area, but it’s not the only one.

Their actions were still very popular.

The entries were judged and directly posted on the bulletin board, everyone could see them.

So even if someone was not convinced, they wouldn’t have anything to say after seeing other people’s works.

Xia Keqing specifically went to see the first prize winner’s work.

It was really good, the design was very strong, and it looked very warm.

As a designer, drawing skills are secondary, the main thing is the feeling the designed clothes give people.

Drawing skills can add to the beauty.

But if the drawing skills are too bad, the whole work will be ruined.

Xia Keqing looked at the first prize winner and the third prize winners below, the difference between them was obvious.

There was no comparison.

Relatively speaking, the drawing skills of the second prize winners were much better.

Her work was considered good among the second prize winners.

Yu Hong was a little disappointed, “I thought you could win first place!”

Xia Keqing wouldn’t think that she could crush everyone just because she transmigrated, so her mentality was always good. Hearing her say this, she comforted her, “There are always better people out there, there’s always a mountain higher than your mountain. Besides, I’m not a professional designer, the important thing is to participate!”

“Good one, there are always better people out there, there’s always a mountain higher than your mountain!”
