Xin Qing hid in a remote corner and looked at Ellie, who was looking for her excitedly.
She didn't know that there was a masquerade party in the manor at night, or she would have hidden in her room. However, Ellie saw that she didn't have any makeup on, so she insisted that she wear a cheongsam with a high slit and pretend to be a seductive maid. Xin Qing was really annoyed by her, so she took the opportunity to sneak away when she was looking at a handsome man.
Just as she was quietly sipping on her fruit juice, she noticed a commotion in the hall. Everyone seemed to be very agitated all of a sudden. Before she could hide further away, she was hit by a beam of light. Everyone's eyes were on her.
Xin Qing, who was like a luminous body, looked at the light on her body blankly. She didn't know what was going on, and then she saw the host on the stage just now rush over.
"Beautiful China doll!" He made a gentleman's salute and said happily, "You are our lucky star tonight. Congratulations!"
Xin Qing quickly waved her hand. "I think you misunderstood. I didn't attend the party at all."
"The lucky star can get the opportunity to visit the secret room. Do you want to go now or after the party?"
Xin Qing wanted to refuse, but the words were stuck in her mouth. The secret room? The place where it was said to collect treasures?
"I'll go now!" She said without hesitation.
Ellie rushed over excitedly, grabbed her hand and screamed. Xin Qing moved her eyebrows and didn't say anything. She followed the host all the way through a long corridor full of design works and came to a huge frame. It was an abstract oil painting, and a strange parrot was staring at her. The person who led her here tapped the parrot's mouth three times, and then poked the parrot's eyes with two fingers. With a click, the oil painting was split into two, revealing a long staircase.
"China doll, please follow me!" The host politely made a gesture to her.
Xin Qing followed him slowly down the stairs until a golden door appeared at the bottom. The host placed his hand on the door handle and looked at her with a smile. "You can go in and take a look yourself. The time limit is half an hour. When you leave, you can pick a piece of art to take away!"
After being surprised, Xin Qing was very happy. She could even choose one to take away! She nodded and was about to thank him when the man reached out his hand to her. "You can't take photos inside. Please give me the camera. I will return it to the lady just now!"
"My apologies!" Xin Qing smiled and handed the small camera in her hand to him. Ellie had just run over and stuffed it into her hand.
The host gave her a smile and said, "It's okay. Have a nice night!" Then he opened the door.
Xin Qing felt as if she had entered a grotesque world. The room was nearly 300 square meters in size, and there were strange decorations everywhere. The paintings on the walls were also varied. Xin Qing even saw a crayon painting. The entire painting was painted in blue. Strangely enough, as she walked, the color of the painting began to change gradually. In the end, it turned into the same pink color as her clothes. Xin Qing carefully picked up the black vase on the table and put it in front of the painting. The painting soon turned black.
"Haha! You're like a chameleon. " She slowly walked around the room, admiring the painting and praising the designer's greatness and wisdom. Half an hour passed quickly. Soon, Xin Qing heard the host gently knocking on the door.
"China Dolls! I'm sorry to disturb you, but it's time. "Xin Qing quickly picked up a painting, walked to the door and opened it." Thank you. I've finished my tour. "She raised the painting in her hand." Can I take this painting with me? "
"Of course!" The host took a look at the work she had chosen. It was an oil painting of a baby. The baby was crawling inside an eggshell with a pair of snow-white wings on its back. The baby was looking at the world with its black eyes in confusion.
"It seems that you like children very much!" The man gestured to her again and led her away.
Xin Qing didn't go to the ball but went directly to her room. The next day, she got up early and was ready to leave. However, when she went downstairs, she saw Mayr and his sister waving at her with backpacks.
"See! I told you she would take the early bus! "Ellie waved at Xin Qing. Mayr shrugged at her helplessly. He knew that this Chinese girl didn't want to have too much contact with them, but Ellie was very friendly.
"You're going back so early too?" Since they had already met, Xin Qing could only greet them.
Ellie grabbed her arm and shook it a few times. "Xin Qing, you also took a painting yesterday, right? What did you take? "
"Ellie!" Mayr looked at his sister disapprovingly. "Why are you asking about other people's private affairs?"
Ellie curled her lips. "I'm just asking! Besides, aren't we friends with Xin Qing? "
"Haha …" Xin Qing laughed dryly. "I'm not familiar with you at all." However, she still said, "It's nothing. It's just a painting." After that, she broke away from Ellie's hand and took two steps back. "I have to go, or I won't be able to catch the train."
Ellie quickly nodded and pulled Mayr. "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go. We'll talk about it later in the car!"
Xin Qing held her forehead helplessly. There was no need to ask. She would definitely say "Yes" again.
After the train arrived at the station, Xin Qing refused Ellie's invitation to be a guest at her house. Ellie said that she wanted to go to Xin Qing's house. Xin Qing had to say that she was still looking for a house. However, Ellie enthusiastically invited Xin Qing to stay at their house. In the end, Mayr dragged her away. However, before leaving, he gave Xin Qing his phone number and told her that she could contact them if she needed anything.
After finally going home, Xin Qing heaved a sigh of relief and threw herself on the sofa. She didn't know why she was always a little resistant to Ellie. Ellie had always been very warm to her. In the end, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, she saw that it was almost dark outside. "Okay, okay." Oh, okay. She quickly got up, picked up her wallet, and went to the supermarket nearby. She had to buy some vegetables and food. Then she would lock herself at home and study for a few days. She heard that CK would have a mock exam when school started. She didn't want to be the last.
Before going to bed that night, she took out the baby angel painting and studied it for a long time. Finally, she hung it on the fireplace in the living room on the first floor, where it could be seen as soon as she came in. After that, she began to study the history of CK seriously, as well as their design philosophy. During this time, Zhang Mi and Qianqian called twice, Chen Ming called once, and Childe Shen called the most. Basically, he called every two days. He didn't care whether she wanted to hear it or not. He began to talk about Ying Qingcang. He couldn't wait to tell Xin Qing how many times Ying Qingcang went to the bathroom every day.
Soon, it was March. Today was the day that CK started school. Xin Qing specially dressed up. She wore a famous Chinese long dress and a small shirt that looked like a Tang suit. Her hair was all tied up at the back of her head with a fox-shaped mahogany hairpin.
She looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. Smiling, she left the house and walked toward the school. No matter what, she couldn't embarrass the Chinese!
CK's school was a huge work of art. All the buildings were full of design. This was because CK didn't only have jewelry design. They also covered architecture, clothing, and everything related to creativity.
The registration area for new students was like a transparent box. It was a huge building with a high roof. She couldn't see a single wall. It was all glass. After finishing the registration, Xin Qing went to the jewelry design area. She didn't even need to ask for directions. The building was too obvious.
On the left side of the school, there was a huge shining diamond. It was as big as a three-story building. She didn't need to see the name to know that it was her classroom.
"Xin Qing?" Xin Qing, who was admiring the graffiti on the ground as she walked, didn't even raise her head and continued to walk forward.
"Xin Qing!" There was another voice. This time, Xin Qing heard it clearly. Someone was really calling her. She turned around abruptly and saw a young man standing beside a strange bench not far away. He was smiling at her.
"Mai … Mayr?"
Mayr walked up to her in a few steps. "What a coincidence. You're also studying here?"
"Yes … Yes! You too? " Xin Qing couldn't accept it for a moment. She had thought that no one would call her here. In the end, it was someone she knew.
Mayr smiled and said, "I'm in my second year."
"I really couldn't tell that you were a designer!" Xin Qing shook her head. Mayr always wore jeans and a T-shirt. She thought that he was just an ordinary college student.
Mayr also looked down at his clothes and suddenly understood. "It's the holidays. Tomorrow, I'll officially start classes. You'll see me in a different way!" He looked at the diamond building not far behind Xin Qing and understood. "You're studying jewelry design?"
"Yes!" Xin Qing was much more relaxed when facing Mike than when facing Ellie. She didn't know why.
Mayr praised her. "When I first saw you, I felt that you had a good temperament. You should be an artist. I didn't expect that you were actually my classmate!"
"Haha, I'll go to the classroom first. Talk to you later." Xin Qing was anxious to see the place where she would be living for the next year.
Mayr nodded. "Okay, then let's have lunch together. I can introduce the school to you."
"Okay! See you later. "
When Xin Qing arrived at the classroom, there were already five or six students inside. She silently walked to the middle seat and sat down. Soon, many students came in one after another. Finally, a middle-aged man wearing a big flowery vest, shorts, and slippers came in.
Chewing gum, he introduced himself to everyone and said that he was their main teacher. If there was anything, they should try to solve it by themselves and not bother him. Then, he threw a timetable to everyone and left, scratching his head. Xin Qing had never seen such a teacher before. She was really surprised. She copied the timetable and was about to leave when several students came over to surround her.
"Hey! Are you a Chinese doll? "A young man with a head full of pigtails grinned at him.
"Yes, I'm from China," Xin Qing answered him politely.
Another brown-haired beauty, who was dressed very sexily and revealed most of her breasts, sized her up and said with some disdain, "Why would a Chinese person come to CK? Your grades are always last. You can't even meet the requirements to enter CK."
