Chapter 27. By The Table
"Raise your hair."
What did he want? Xin Qing did not understand. However, she still lower her head to reveal her entire shoulder. There was a purple tattoo in the shape of a vine on her snow-white right shoulder.
Ying Qingcang looked at Xin Qing who was half-clothed, and said with a somewhat hoarse voice: "Alright, you can leave."
He actully let her go? Xin Qing immediately put on her clothes and turned to look at him. It seemed like she had seen a ghost. "You let me go?"
"So what is it? You don't want to go? You really wish we could be at the table …"
Xin Qing ran upstairs without looking back.
This man was not only a beast and a pervert, but also a freak! This was her latest evaluation for Ying Qingcang.
Ying Qingcang who was still in the dining room picked up the phone.
"I saw it. Her tattoo is much more obvious than before, and its color is also more darker than before." He said impatiently into the phone, "I have done as you wished. In the future, don't bother me with this matter again."
Ying Qingcang felt very irritable. He could not help but get angry as he thought that he had to face Xin Qing while his leg couldn't move these days. This made Ying Qingcang, who had always had good self-control, feel that it wasn't right. The ones in power were used to controlling others and controlling themselves. They do not allow anyone to control their thoughts and actions, including their own.
Therefore, Ying Qingcang called his secretary and let the driver bring him somewhere else to stay. If Xin Qing had known that her existence could obstruct Ying Qingcang, she would definitely be happy to run around him. However, she was not in the mood to think about Ying Qingcang right now. She was in the library, drawing countless drafts every day. She would do her best to participate in the competition.
That afternoon, when she was having a rest in the dorm, Xin Qing couldn't help but ask after looking at the empty bed opposite her, "Why do I feel that it's been a few days since I saw Xiaoyu last time?"
"She hasn't been back for two days. Where can you meet her?" Zhang Mi stuck her head out from behind the computer and said, "She said that her aunt came to visit her. She has been staying in the hotel for the past few days."
"Oh." Xin Qing did not mind and continued to read materials. Shi Qianqian slapped the table and asked, "Don't you feel something's wrong with her recently?"
"Who? Lin Xiaoyu? " Xin Qing did not react in time.
Zhang Mi closed her notebook. With a thump, she ran to the bathroom and took out a bunch of bottles and jars, then spread them on the table: "Look at the cosmetics she's using now."
"They're all first-rate brands!" Xin Qing could know from looking at the logo, because she was also using them herself. However, the color of hers was different. The woman who helped her with her clothes said hers was costomized.
Shi Qianqian took a bottle and said, "This costs more than a thousand yuan. How did she get all that money from?"
"Did her aunt buy them for her?" Xin Qing remembered that Lin Xiaoyu had said this.
Zhang Mi put the bottles back on the table and said, "These things add up to almost ten thousand yuan, does her aunt really love her like that?"
"Even if her aunt loves her and buys these necessities for her. I can understand. But what about this?" Shi Qianqian pulled out a paper bag under Lin Xiaoyu's mattress.
" Hermes. The latest style for this season."
Xin Qing glanced at it, and exclaimed: "I don't have this style."
"Nonsense, all of yours are limited edition, hundreds of thousands for one. This one is more than eighty thousand." Zhang Mi said in jealousy and envy. She had gone to see Xin Qing a few times, and visited her cloakroom.
Xin Qing finally regained her senses as she covered her mouth and looked at Shi Qianqian in disbelief, "You … You mean. She…"
"Otherwise?" Shi Qianqian frowned, "Who would spend so much money on a woman if it was not a man?"
The four of them had lived in the same dorm since they were freshmen, so they had a good relationship with each other. However, Lin Xiaoyu had always been relatively passive and cowardly. This had something to do with her family's environment.
Her father had died long time ago, leaving her with her mother and her younger brother. Her mother's company didn't pay well either. Later on, her mother set up a breakfast stall in front of her home's alley for raising her and her brother to go to school. Before Xin Qing's family changed, she was also the daughter of a wealthy family. Zhang Mi's family's condition was also good. She had a literary family that had been for several generations.
Shi Qianqian's family had the best conditions. Her brother-in-law was the president of the Ding's company. However, her elder sister died in an accident not long after she was engaged with brother-in-law. For these many years, she stayed with her brother-in-law, who had always taken care of her.
How could such a Lin Xiaoyu suddenly have so many luxury goods. Moreover, she didn't attend any classes recently and didn't come back at night as well?
"How about I ask her?" Xin Qing didn't want to see her roommate, who was together with her day and night, taking the wrong way.
"How would you ask?" Zhang Mi rolled her eyes at her, "Xiaoyu, have you been raised by a man?"
Xin Qing sighed that she definitely could not ask like that.
"Forget it, don't be worried about her." Shi Qianqian said, "Everyone's life is chosen by themselves and we have no right to interfere. If she really took the wrong way, she will have to bear the consequences."
This matter caused Xin Qing's heart to feel heavy, and she maintained this mood until she arrived home. Originally, she had already been prepared to fight with Ying Qingcang, but she unexpectedly found that he had left.
"Young Master will live outside." Uncle Fu looked at her resentfully, as Xin Qing lowered her head and slipped into her room. It would be great that he left, so that she wouldn't have indigestion by having dinner every night.
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt that it was boring without bickering with Ying Qingcang.
"Pah pah pah!" She patted her face hard in the mirror. "Xin Qing, wake up, are you used to being abused? Why did you feel so bored when he wasn't around? He was a beast that raped you! "
She felt much more comfortable after thinking like this. She soaked herself in the bathtub, took a shower, and then hugged the puppy as she went to bed to watch TV. She did not know when she fell asleep, but she vaguely remembered that the model's body was not as good as Ying Qingcang's …
At the beginning of the month, the school would examine their design drafts. If it was adopted, she could go to the studio and make it. Then she could take part in the competition on behalf of her university. In the principal's office, Xin Qing and Xin Yudie were waiting for the principal to make a decision. What Xin Qing did not expect was that the principal would choose Xin Yudie's work.
"Her?" Xin Qing asked in disbelief.
The principal frowned and passed Xin Yudie's design to her: "I don't know if it's because you two sisters have telepathy? Or, you have discussed it with each other. Take a look by yourself. "
Xin Qing took it and glanced at it. She felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse, cold from the inside to the outside.
She came to understand why the principal had chosen Xin Yudie, and why the his words and the way he looked at her were so weird.
Xin Qing designed a ring. She used two pairs of wings to be a ring, symbolizing hope. And designed two hearts connected on the circular surface of the ring. It meant that the two who loved each other were not afraid of any difficulties as long as they were together.
As for Xin Yudie's work …
It was almost exactly the same as hers .The only difference was that Xin Yudie had added a three-dimensional bird on the ring which made the design full of vitality.
Xin Qing closed her eyes, trying her best to calm down. She saw a trace of satisfaction flash through Xin Yudie's eyes. Xin Yudie pretended to apologize to the Principal.
"Principal, we often design our works together, so our thoughts are about the same. Xin Qing is still not experienced enough, I will teach her well. "
"Shameless..." Xin Qing said these two words while grinding her teeth.
The Principal was not satisfied with her attitude and wanted to reprimand her. Xin Qing had already picked up her draft and rushed out.
That evening, Ying Qingcang whose leg just got well received a call from the driver, Ah Che.
"Young Master, I didn't get Miss Xin."
"What do you mean? She is not in school? "
"No, her classmate said she didn't attend the afternoon classes."
"At home?"
"I have already called back, but she was not at home."
"I understand, you come back first." Ying Qingcang hung up the phone with his eyebrows knitted tightly. Just as he was about to make a call, his phone rang.
"Hello."
"Young Master, we found Miss Xin. She's in a park nearby the school, but she's not willing to go back."
Ying Qingcang got up and took his jacket: "Wait."
When he arrived at the park, the sky was filled with drizzling rain. This was the first rain of the fall. Xin Qing sat in the rain in a daze while Ah Che held up an umbrella above her head.
"What are you doing?" Ying Qingcang stood in front of her.
Xin Qing lifted her head, glanced at him, then lowered her head and continued to stare blankly.
Ying Qingcang felt his heart trembled. Why was her face so pale? There was no color at all, was her so cold?
"How long has she been like this?" Ying Qingcang asked with a suppressed voice.
"Since when I found her. She hasn't moved for almost an hour." Ah Che said somewhat helplessly.
Ying Qingcang pinched Xin Qing's chin, forcing her to raise her head and look at himself: "Xin Qing, what are you doing?"
The long eyelashes moved. Only now did Ying Qingcang clearly see that the pair of eyes that usually stared at him seemed to be covered by a layer of dust. He couldn't see a single trace of light.
"Young master, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. If it continues, Young Miss's body …"
Ying Qingcang carried Xin Qing in his arms and hurriedly walked towards the car, "Xin Qing, I'll give you time to think over. If you're still like this when we get home, I'll strip you clean and throw you onto the bed."
Feeling the person in his embrace move, Ying Qingcang pursed his lips and hugged her even more tightly.
They went back Ying's Family in the rain. After Ying Qingcang finished showering and headed to Xin Qing's room, he found she had already slept. Her small face was exposed outside the blanket. Probably because of being soaked in hot water, she was no longer as pale as she was before. There were still traces of tears hanging at the corners of her eyes.
Ying Qingcang suddenly reached out his hand, placed the teardrop on his finger into his mouth and licked it. Xin Qing probably had a dream and didn't sleep well, hence she rolled over and hid the blanket under her shoulder.
Half of her snow white shoulder was imprinted into the depths of Ying Qingcang's eyes. He swallowed his saliva, and quickly covered Xin Qing with the blanket. Then he left the room in large strides.
