Shi Mengwan's body was pressed against the door. Wan Xianyang was outside, and Zhan Haoze was inside.
She was a little confused. Her only thought was that she couldn't let the two of them meet.
Turning around, she suddenly faced Zhan Haoze's approaching body. It was rare for her to feel a little nervous.
"What, what do you want?"
After asking this question, Shi Mengwan realized how stupid her question was. She almost bit her tongue off.
"Zhan Haoze, go to the bathroom and hide for a while."
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and looked at her without moving at all.
"Zhan Haoze."
There was another knock on the door. Shi Mengwan's eyes were a little anxious. She started to reach out to push him. However, considering that he was injured, she didn't use too much strength.
Zhan Haoze suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her heavily on the lips.
Shi Mengwan sucked in a breath of cold air, but he took advantage of this moment to barge in. He forcefully plundered her.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he kissed her like this. Zhan Haoze's heart was moved and he couldn't control himself.
His kiss had always been irresistible to her. Before long, she was completely immersed in his kiss.
She wrapped her hands around the back of his waist and slowly moved up …
There were a few more knocks on the door, and Shi Mengwan came back to her senses from Zhan Haoze's kiss.
She pushed hard and Zhan Haoze took two steps back. Shi Mengwan stood there and kept adjusting her breathing. "Zhan Haoze, if you plan to let others know that you're with me now, you can continue."
Zhan Haoze didn't continue. He looked deeply at Shi Mengwan, then nodded and turned to enter the bathroom.
Shi Mengwan heaved a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Zhan Haoze would continue regardless. After all, not many people knew them in this foreign country.
Taking a deep breath, she turned to open the door. Wan Xianyang, who was outside the door, smiled when he saw her. He handed a bouquet of flowers to her with a faint smile on his face.
"Congratulations."
"You –" Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers and wasn't in a hurry to take it. Wan Xianyang took a step forward and gestured for her to accept the flowers.
"Why? You passed the semi-finals and entered the finals. isn't it worth being happy about? "
"Thank you." Shi Mengwan took the flowers. Wan Xianyang looked at her face and his gaze fell on her body. Her clothes were a little messy, but he couldn't tell if he didn't look closely.
His gaze shifted upwards and landed on the other party's lips. Wan Xianyang narrowed his eyes slightly. It was only for a moment before he quickly put on a smile.
"What? Aren't you going to invite me in? "
This was not convenient at all. Shi Mengwan looked at the bouquet of flowers in her hand, but she couldn't refuse.
"Please come in."
"You don't have to be so polite."
Wan Xianyang entered the door and quickly scanned the room. He didn't see anyone.
Finally, he glanced in the direction of the bathroom and sat down on the sofa in the room.
"That's right, you've passed the semi-finals. Next should be the finals, right? I heard that you guys are going to complete your work in isolation? "
"You even know this?" Shi Mengwan was indeed a little surprised.
"I have a friend in the committee. So, one more question. "Wan Xianyang looked at her with a cautious expression." You won't be angry, right? "
"I won't." This competition was no secret. In order to ensure fairness, the officials had already announced the process.
"Are you guys going in the afternoon? Why don't I send you there? "
"There's no need." Shi Mengwan refused without thinking. "I brought my assistant over. She has arranged a car. We'll go together when the time comes."
"Alright then." Wan Xianyang looked at her. "How many days are you going? I'll pick you guys up and celebrate for you. Is that okay? "
"We still don't know how the results are. It's too early to celebrate."
In such a competition with so many experts, Shi Mengwan didn't dare to think that she could get into the top three. She was already very happy to be able to enter the semi-finals.
"I have confidence in you. You'll definitely get a very good ranking. "Wan Xianyang was much more confident in her." Maybe you can even get first place. "
"Don't joke around."
Shi Mengwan looked at the list of people who came to participate this time, especially those who made it into the top ten. She even paid attention today. Masters wouldn't come to such a competition, but there were many newcomers with good results.
She was just a small studio. It was already her luck to be able to make it into the top ten.
"Don't think that way. In my heart, you're number one."
Wan Xianyang's words were equivalent to saying sweet nothings. Shi Mengwan didn't reply. "Do you have anything else?"
"Are you asking me to leave?"
"No, I still have to pack my things. Xiao Ji and the others will come to find me later."
"Then you're still chasing me away."
"Wan Xianyang …"
"Alright, I'll leave, okay?"
Wan Xianyang stood up as he spoke. When he passed by Shi Mengwan, he stopped. "If you need to pack your things, I won't disturb you anymore. However, I still hope that I can celebrate with you if I have the chance. "
"Thank you."
Wan Xianyang continued to walk out. When he passed by the bathroom door, he glanced there seemingly unintentionally.
Shi Mengwan's heart instantly skipped a beat. She took a few steps and opened the door first.
Wan Xianyang had already walked to the door. When he saw her actions, he smiled helplessly. "You really can't wait to chase me away. I'm really hurt when you're like this. "
Shi Mengwan was stunned for a moment, but Wan Xianyang moved his body forward a little. "In order to calm my hurt heart, why don't you give me a comforting kiss?"
Shi Mengwan was shocked by his actions, but Wan Xianyang suddenly smiled. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Come on. Compete well. I wish you a good ranking. "
"Okay. Thank you. "
Shi Mengwan's expression wasn't as casual as before. Even though Wan Xianyang had expressed his intention to leave, her eyes were still a little guarded.
That look made Wan Xianyang sigh in his heart. Sister-in-law's best friend was really not easy to get close to.
However —
When he stepped out of the room, he unintentionally glanced in the direction of the bathroom again. Why did he feel that the door seemed to have moved just now?
However, before he could see clearly, Shi Mengwan had already quickly closed the door.
After Wan Xianyang left, Shi Mengwan heaved a sigh of relief. However, just as she turned around, she saw Zhan Haoze coming out of the bathroom.
With a cold face, he stood there expressionlessly and looked at her.
Under his gaze, Shi Mengwan actually felt a sense of guilt. But it was only for a moment, and she quickly ignored it.
Based on what? He could be engaged to another woman and be affectionate with her. She only had a suitor, and yet she felt guilty?
She walked past Zhan Haoze and planned to continue packing her luggage, but her arm was grabbed by Zhan Haoze.
Her body was turned around by him, and then she was pressed against the wall behind her.
"Zhan Haoze –"
She cried out. Zhan Haoze didn't give her a chance to speak again. He lowered his head to kiss her. It was a fierce and rough kiss.
Shi Mengwan's lips were in pain from being crushed by him. She pushed him, but he didn't move at all.
In a hurry, she placed her hand on his abdomen and wanted to attack his wound. But when she really touched that area, she put her hand down again.
This pause undoubtedly gave Zhan Haoze another chance. He easily lifted her body and put her in a position where he was.
Once again, he sealed her lips and nibbled on those two soft lips.
Shi Mengwan was in pain and bit him instead. She used even more strength than Zhan Haoze. She bit down just like that, and she bit him so hard that his lips were bitten open just like that.
The two of them tasted blood at the same time.
The scene in front of them was so similar. Shi Mengwan thought of the last time she went on a blind date with Xiao Qi, and Zhan Haoze was also like this.
She felt hatred in her heart and pushed him hard without caring about anything else. Zhan Haoze's abdomen was pushed by her. He snorted in pain and took a step back.
Shi Mengwan used this opportunity to retreat from his arms and stand on the other side.
Her chest was heaving violently, and her lips were still stained with blood. Her hair was a little messy, and the front of her clothes was mostly crooked.
She looked like she was in a sorry state, but there was also a kind of beauty in her. Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes and subconsciously took a step forward.
Shi Mengwan took a step back. She looked at the person in front of her with a burning gaze. "Zhan Haoze, you can't be like this every time."
Her heart was beating a little fast. She bit her lip, and the expression on her face was a little reproachful and bitter at the same time.
"I'm your girlfriend, right? If not, what right do you have to treat me like this? "
"If you're your girlfriend, what right do you have to treat me like this?"
She closed her eyes and forced herself not to admit defeat in front of Zhan Haoze. "Zhan Haoze, can you respect me? Or is it that in your heart, I'm just that kind of casual woman that you can do whatever you want? "
Zhan Haoze was a little stunned by her righteous words, but Shi Mengwan didn't want to care about him anymore.
"Zhan Haoze, I'm going to the venue prepared by the organizing committee this afternoon for the competition. I won't be here for the next few days. Help yourself. "
She turned around to pack her luggage and stopped after taking two steps.
"Zhan Haoze, I don't think you like me that much, right? It's just a possessive desire. If it's not me, it can be other women. To you, there's no difference. "
To him, she was just an embellishment in his life.
But to her, he was everything.
Not treating her feelings seriously meant that she was at a disadvantage in this relationship. Her silhouette looked lonely from behind, which was rare for her to be like that.
No matter when, she always gave people the feeling that she was optimistic and cheerful.
Zhan Haoze stared at her back. Finally, when her hand touched the suitcase, he went forward and pulled her back into his arms.
"I didn't." Zhan Haoze looked at her and instinctively wanted to explain. In his heart, he had never seen her as a casual woman.
"Nothing?"
"I'm not," Zhan Haoze said again. This time, he sounded even more serious than before.
Shi Mengwan looked at him and inexplicably understood what he meant. He said that he wasn't being possessive.
"Are you trying to say that you like me?" Shi Mengwan looked at him and returned to yesterday's question. "Then do you think of me as your girlfriend?"
Zhan Haoze looked at her face and nodded gently. His expression was extremely serious.
Shi Mengwan looked at him. "Then, after we go back, can you make our relationship public?"
The problem was back to square one, but Shi Mengwan was especially concerned about this problem.
If a man couldn't even let a woman stand by his side publicly and let everyone know that she was his girlfriend, what was the use of such a man?
"No." Zhan Haoze refused without thinking. There were still many dangers around him. This injury was just a warning.
Shi Mengwan suddenly smiled, as if she wasn't surprised by this answer at all. She pulled her hand out of Zhan Haoze's hand bit by bit.
"Zhan Haoze, you're really a bastard."
Without looking at him, Shi Mengwan turned around and went to pack her luggage. There wasn't much to pack. They were outside anyway.
In less than twenty minutes, she had packed everything. She pulled her suitcase and walked past Zhan Haoze to look for Xiao Ji and the others next door.
Zhan Haoze took a step to the side, wanting to block Shi Mengwan's path.
Shi Mengwan looked at him coldly. "Zhan Haoze, this competition is very important. Please move aside. "
"Wanwan." Zhan Haoze didn't know what to say, but he couldn't let her know what had happened. "Just now, I …"
"You don't have to explain." She looked at his conflicted expression and could roughly tell what he wanted to say. Unfortunately, she didn't want to hear it.
"The problem between us isn't about your actions just now. It's about your actions, your attitude towards me. "
"I don't mean to look down on you, but now is really not the right time to make it public."
Yes, it wasn't suitable, it just couldn't be. Then when was the right time? When could it be?
Did he have an answer? I'm afraid not. She felt tired and didn't want to continue. "Forget it. You'll never understand. "
She glanced at him. "I'm going to the competition. Make yourself at home."
Pulling her suitcase, Shi Mengwan left the room without looking back.
This time, the organizing committee had really put in a lot of money. The venue for the finals was actually an ancient castle.
The ancient castle was provided by the president of one of the sponsors this time. The first, second, and third designers also had the chance to work for this company. It had always been a world-class clothing brand.
Such an opportunity was an excellent opportunity for all the participants.
However, Shi Mengwan didn't have such plans. Her goal wasn't even to promote her studio. After all, if she wanted to talk about fame, she already had her own regular clients in Lin City.
She came just to prove her ability. To prove that she could do it.
The ten points for the competition were arranged in the rooms on the first and second floors of the villa.
For the next few days, except for special circumstances, all the participants were not allowed to leave. However, all the electronic equipment in the room was available.
When Shi Mengwan entered the castle, she also received the theme of the finals: First Love.
When she received this theme, Shi Mengwan felt Xiao Ji and Tong Yan looking at her worriedly.
"Sister Shi." Xiao Ji looked as if the sky had collapsed. "You, you, you, you've never been in love before. Why did you choose such a theme?"
The sweet one from before was still a little better. Sweetness didn't just refer to love. Family, friendship, the little warmth of society. In this life, there would always be times when one would feel sweet, right?
But this first love? Xiao Ji's face was inexplicably full of worry.
Shi Mengwan glanced at Xiao Ji and gently knocked her on the head. "Alright, think about how you can help me. Let's go. "
The room Shi Mengwan was assigned was on the second floor. There was a large balcony here. There was a sofa and a coffee table on the balcony.
From the balcony, one could see the beautiful scenery in the distance, as well as the well-tended garden downstairs.
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but sigh. This sponsor had really put in a lot of money. She sat on the sofa and looked at the beautiful scenery outside. She wasn't in a hurry to draw.
First love?
Her first love was Zhan Haoze. But this first love, where did it begin?
Now? Or more than ten years ago?
She picked up the black tea prepared by the organizing committee on the table. Shi Mengwan's heart flew back to the year when she was 12 years old.
She and Zhan Haoze depended on each other. When they met, it was when they were at their most miserable.
She was actually a good girl. In the past, she, who had been strictly educated by Mother Shi, almost didn't dare to think that one day, she would have a relationship with a boy who was like a hooligan.
But now, not only did it happen, but it also happened so unexpectedly.
They were each other's comfort and support. She believed that if it weren't for Zhan Haoze, she might have admitted defeat long ago and gone home.
She also knew that if it weren't for her, her Dear Brother at that time definitely wouldn't have taken good care of himself. He would have fought everywhere, and then when he was injured, he would only casually treat his wounds.
She once thought that if her Dear Brother was willing, she could stay with him like that for the rest of her life. But her Dear Brother didn't give her that chance. The heavens didn't give her that chance.
After going around in circles, they could be considered to have met now. But some things were already the same, but the people had changed.
Shi Mengwan thought of a certain scene and suddenly stood up. She walked to the table and took out a pen and paper.
When Xiao Ji and Tong Yan settled down and came in, they saw Shi Mengwan, who had already devoted herself to her work.
She lowered her head and drew very seriously. This room happened to face the west. The sunlight shone in from the huge balcony, dyeing Shi Mengwan's body with a layer of gold.
Xiao Ji was shocked by such a scene. She couldn't help but take out her phone and quietly take a few photos of Shi Mengwan.
After taking the photos, she logged into Shi Mengwan's Weibo. Song Seeking Studio didn't set up a Weibo. However, Shi Mengwan had one.
Most of the time, she managed her Weibo by herself. Occasionally, when the company had activities, she would ask Xiao Ji to post some activities.
The picture attached to [During the Finals] was the photo that Xiao Ji had just posted. She even made a nine-grid grid.
After posting the photo, she glanced at Tong Yan. Tong Yan also had some ideas at this moment. He went into the room and found a place to sit down. Then, he took out his tools.
Xiao Ji looked at the two of them and turned around to be in charge of logistics.
..
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. The main color Shi Mengwan used this time was green, a faint green.
What was first love? It was youth, it was budding, that moment of heartbeat. It was like a tender bud that had just grown in spring, just emerging.
She still remembered how she felt back then. When she left her Dear Brother, she felt uncomfortable, conflicted, and painful.
However, there was more joy, beauty, and a smile on her face when she recalled the past.
This was what Shi Mengwan thought. She designed a total of three pieces of clothing. This was also the requirement of the competition. Every designer decided to submit at least two pieces of work.
Shi Mengwan, on the other hand, drew three pieces in one go. The main piece was a dress.
She used ogen yarn as the main fabric. It was a little hard. Because they didn't understand love, the feelings of young men and women were a little stiff.
However, there were also some lighter green leaves dotted among them.
First love was beautiful, but there were too many things that could distract a person. First love couldn't be the only one. If the two of them wanted to be together, there were too many misgivings.
If they broke up, there would be too many external reasons. Shi Mengwan was very satisfied with this set of works.
She poured all of her feelings into it.
After the finished product was made, Shi Mengwan submitted the work and the design drawings together. The rest was out of her control.
All those who had submitted their works could play around the castle for the rest of the time.
She told herself to relax and played seriously with Tong Yan and Xiao Ji in the castle for a day.
Finally, it was time to announce the results. The ten people who participated in the finals were all experts.
Shi Mengwan saw the other nine works on the day of the announcement. She had to admit that the standards of the competition were indeed amazing.
When the final rankings were announced, a pink dress designed by a local French designer won first place.
The second place was an Italian designer, and the third place was a designer from Hong Kong.
The colors used by the other party were quite bold. The design theme was like first love, brave and fearless.
When Shi Mengwan saw those works, she knew that she probably wouldn't be in the top three. After all, she had something on her mind and had too many worries.
But to her surprise, she actually won the most special design award.
She was fourth place. Shi Mengwan was satisfied. After the award ceremony, the other designers came to congratulate her.
That night, the organizers and the organizing committee held a celebration dinner in the castle. All the designers who came to participate had to wear the themed clothes they had designed.
Shi Mengwan put on the green dress. She looked like an elf in the forest.
When she entered the banquet hall, she attracted a lot of attention. At this banquet, there were many local fashion brands from Paris.
There were clothes, bags, jewelry, and perfume. It was Shi Mengwan's first time seeing so many legendary figures.
She was fine. No matter what, she had been to the Su family and Huo Jinyao's company a few times.
It was the first time Xiao Ji and Tong Yan had been to such a place. The two girls didn't know where to put their hands and feet.
Shi Mengwan couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to comfort them, the person in charge of the sponsor, Dickson, waved at her from the other side and asked her to go over.
Shi Mengwan had no choice but to ask Xiao Ji and Tong Yan to find a place to stay and not run around. She went in Dickson's direction.
"Shi." Shi Mengwan didn't come over with an English name. They all called her by her surname. Dickson looked at Shi Mengwan with a faint smile on his face.
