chapter 61

The organizer arranged for all the finalists of the Guoen Art Competition to stay in a hotel, which is a golf resort hotel on the outskirts of City B.

Because she took Huo Xichen with her, Jiang Weicheng did not go home after getting off the plane. She sent a message to her aunt, saying that she had something to do and came back early, but she would have to stay in a hotel temporarily and would not be able to go back for a few days.

Her aunt knew that she was very busy with her career now, so she only told her to tell her in advance on the day she went back so that she could buy vegetables and cook her favorite food, and she didn't ask any other questions.

Jiang Weicheng was afraid that they would miss her, so she didn't say that she would take her boyfriend home first. She only said that she would bring a friend with her when she went back.

However, in these years, she had never brought a friend home. When she suddenly heard this sentence, her aunt already had some idea in mind and asked her to tell her some of her friend's favorite dishes so that she could prepare them in advance.

She hung up the phone and turned around to find that the person who went to the hotel front desk to get the room card was standing behind her at some point. He folded his hands on his chest, narrowed his eyes at her, and then raised one long eyebrow: "Friend

……ah?"

He gestured to the key card held between his fingertips, "A friend who lives in the same room?"

She stretched out her hand to rub his face: "Well, we are just friends. Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, I can share two rooms with you. I'll just open another one."

Although he knew that she was teasing him, he still got angry when he heard that she was in the same room as him.

He stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and hummed lowly: "In your dreams, don't even think about two rooms. You have to sleep with me every night! Let's go, I'll let the waiter take the luggage.

Let’s go upstairs first!”

As he spoke, he led her through the hotel's spacious lobby toward the elevator.

"Playing the role of a domineering CEO?" She pressed his chest and tapped it twice.

"You are the overbearing president." He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "I am the little wolfdog beside the overbearing president..."

Jiang Weicheng:......

I have to say, this self-awareness is perfect.

When the two of them walked to the stairs area laughing and joking, they didn't notice that in the coffee shop in the hotel lobby, there was a young and pretty girl looking at them with her chin in her hands.

She has long pure black hair, snow-white skin, and eyes as blue as the sea. She looks like a mixed race at first glance.

Her eyes followed the two of them, first staying on Huo Xichen for a while, and then moved to the woman in his arms.

Immediately, she raised her lips and showed an interesting smile, then took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

"He's here." The mixed-race girl spoke in standard Chinese, "I saw him in the lobby... He was not alone. He also brought a woman with him... She was older than him, but she was very beautiful.

...Well, don’t worry, I know.”

This time, there were a total of twenty works that were shortlisted for the finals of the Guoen Art Competition, and there were only eight final awards: one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, and two special creative awards.

.

There are five judges in total, and there are currently three known judges, all of whom are industry leaders and have extraordinary achievements in their respective fields.

The five-day competition process includes check-in arrangements on the first day and a buffet dinner in the evening so that the contestants can get to know each other and communicate.

The formal competition process began on the second day. The five judges made free comments on the works that entered the finals in their own way of understanding, and gave points. This score, combined with the scores of the previous works anonymously unfolded on the Internet, resulted in a score of six to four.

The ratio is used to calculate the final total score.

The winners of the first, second and third prizes will be determined from this. In addition, the judges will select two works as special creative awards after discussing with each other.

The next three days were filled with interviews, celebration banquets and work arrangements.

The finals of the art category are generally very relaxed, because the works have already been submitted, and there is no need for the contestants to do anything else later. They just need to adjust their mentality to accept various evaluations from the judges and the media.

The rooms provided by the organizer to the contestants are relatively large suites with two interior and exterior rooms, with large balconies that can see the golf course. At the same time, each room provides a gift to the contestants: cake, champagne,

Golf course experience voucher and a double afternoon tea set.

Their check-in time was noon, so they had free time in the afternoon, so they could hang out in the hotel.

This resort hotel is very large. In addition to the golf course, there is also a large lakeside pier with a neat row of yachts. Next to the docked yachts is a cafe for afternoon tea.

Neither of them knew how to play golf, and they didn't want to go to the golf course to show off. After wandering around the lake for a while, they went directly to have afternoon tea.

Jiang Weicheng chose a window seat on the second floor, where he could see the entire sparkling lake from the clear floor-to-ceiling glass.

The winter sky in City B is very blue, clear and pure, and the sun shines on me through the glass, making it warm.

On such a peaceful afternoon, she put aside work and enjoyed the rare leisure time with the people she liked. This feeling was really beautiful.

Huo Xichen put the milk and sugar in her coffee, stirred it, and thoughtfully picked it up to test the temperature before pushing it in front of her: "What are you thinking about?"

He looked at the direction she was looking in and asked, "Is the scenery more beautiful than mine?"

Jiang Weicheng smiled and glanced at him: "Narcissistic."

"Narcissistic?" He looked at her, tilted his head, stood up and moved his long legs, moved from across the table to her side, then raised his forehead and stared at her intently, "Look at me, don't I?

Better than the scenery?”

The position where he sat was facing the sun, and the bright light made his fair and handsome figure look particularly three-dimensional. His long eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a high-spirited look unique to a young man between his eyebrows. The eyes that stared at her had a special look.

The gentle smile seemed to be able to speak, full of love for her.

She could feel the gazes from the two tables next door, all of which were focused on Huo Xichen.

The 21-year-old Huo Xichen, like the 18-year-old Huo Xichen, can become the center of attention of the opposite sex no matter where they are.

She looked at him, smiled slowly, took a sip of her coffee, and then spoke calmly under his waiting gaze: "Okay, our Xiaochen is the prettiest."

He pretended to be dissatisfied and snorted: "Perfunctory."

But Ke Ren leaned over, gently held her cheek, then moved to the corner of her lips, stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked away a little bit of coffee foam stuck there.

"So sweet." He licked it once and felt it was not enough, so he licked it a second time.

Jiang Weicheng's heart felt numb because of his arousal. She reached out and grabbed his collar, stopped him from retreating, leaned over and licked his lips back.

"Well, my little dust is sweeter."

"..."

Then, she got her wish and saw the roots of his slightly red ears.

During the buffet dinner that night, he took Jiang Weicheng with him. In addition to the contestants, there were also media reporters and organizer personnel in the banquet hall.

Several judges will not appear for the time being. This is to ensure the fairness of the competition. Before the final results are announced, the contestants and judges need to be isolated.

Despite this, the buffet banquet was still very lively. Under the guidance of the organizer, the contestants tried their best to show themselves in front of the media. The contestants chatted politely and discreetly with each other.

The huge crystal lamp on the top of the banquet hall casts a dazzling light, illuminating the entire place as bright as day. Everyone in the banquet hall is dressed in clothes, with glasses and dendrobiums intertwined, creating a grand scene.

In such a scene, Huo Xichen's appearance was not eye-catching, and he had no intention of attracting attention.

In the end, the competition has to be based on strength. He will not resist normal communication, but if he is asked to deliberately cling to it in order to gain more media attention, with his arrogance and confidence, he is not willing.

The contestants shortlisted this time are of different ages, and some of the contestants have known each other before and had friendships with each other.

Jiang Weicheng is now very adaptable to such occasions. Holding a wine glass, she can look at certain people for a moment and then she can roughly tell the relationship between them. But in this case, when her eyes fell on a mixed-race man with black hair and blue eyes,

When it comes to the girl, it pauses momentarily.

She frowned slightly, looked at the other person again, and found that it was not her mistake - that was indeed the mixed-race girl in the photo in the anonymous express she had received before.

The other party didn't notice her gaze at all. She kept looking at Huo Xichen beside her. After a moment, she put down her wine glass and walked straight over.

"Xi Chen——" She called him when she was three or four steps away, then suddenly sped up and rushed up to hug him before he could react at all.

Jiang Weicheng:......

Huo Xichen immediately pulled away after reacting, but she still held his arm and refused to let go, with a joyful smile on her face: "Did you also participate in this competition? We are so destined! Look,

After traveling halfway around the world, we can still meet!"

Huo Xichen pulled off the hand on his arm and looked at her with a frown: "Speak nicely and don't hug me!" He turned his head and originally wanted to explain to Jiang Weicheng, but when he saw the slightly unhappy face, he suddenly felt

A strange thought occurred to me.

If he didn't say anything, would he be able to see her jealous look?

As soon as this idea came up, it immediately expanded infinitely, and then couldn't be contained at all.

His heart began to beat faster. He didn't know why, but he was looking forward to seeing her jealous for him!

So, Huo Xichen cleared his throat and said to Jiang Weicheng as calmly as possible: "Let me introduce to you, this is a friend I met in England. Her name is An Qier. An Qier, she is my girlfriend, Jiang Weicheng."

"Just call me An Qi!" She spoke very standard Chinese, and smiled at Jiang Weicheng as she spoke. She was a very young and energetic girl, not annoying.

Jiang Weicheng raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled and nodded at the other person, and then she turned her eyes to Huo Xichen again, as if waiting for his next words.

But Huo Xichen didn't say another word. In his opinion, it seemed that a simple sentence of "friend" had already explained his relationship with the other party clearly.

Even the warm hug that just happened under her nose did not require any explanation in his opinion. He felt that the other party was a foreigner, and the etiquette was different from that in China, so he was naturally enthusiastic, and even a relatively intimate gesture did not require much explanation.

What did you say?

After Angel said hello to Jiang Weicheng, she stretched out her hand to tug Huo Xichen's arm, "I have also been shortlisted for this final, and we will be competitors this time! Do you think you will lose to me?"

Huo Xichen actually didn't pay much attention to what An Qier said. Although his eyes seemed to be falling on her, he had been distracted by feeling the emotions of Jiang Weicheng beside him.

Do you care?
