"But in this case, what's the point of such a design competition?"

Shen Ling asked puzzledly,

"It's what we call the upper class. It's such a dirty existence in the first place."

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Ling with a smile, with a hint of comfort in his smile.

He actually didn't want to take off the cover-up of everything so early in front of this little girl, but the environment they were in was like this.

If she didn't tell her, she would find out sooner or later.

Instead of letting her hit her head with blood and then explore this cruel truth, it would be better for her to tell her all about this matter early so that she can be mentally prepared.

People all over the world say that you can stay uncontaminated in the mud, but how difficult is it to be uncontaminated when you are in the mud?

Thinking like this, Xie Yuan shook his head mockingly.

The girl in front of me is very clean, and her whole person exudes a kind of smart light.

If I could help myself, I really didn't want to drag her into this turbid quagmire.

However, now that she is here, she will have to understand these things sooner or later.

It's better to let her know early so that she can have some ability to protect herself.

Shen Ling was stunned, and for a moment he felt the urge to escape from the design competition that was about to begin.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Xie Yuan saw that the little girl in front of him was definitely not at peace, so he softly comforted her.

Shen Ling was stunned for a moment,

"I-I want to go to the bathroom."

"over there,"

Xie Yuan knew that it would be difficult for Shen Ling to accept that she suddenly knew something that she didn't know before, and he didn't force it.

So he very thoughtfully pointed out the direction of the bathroom.

"Shall I go with you?"

Xie Yuan actually said this without any confidence. Although his starting point was that Shen Ling was not familiar with the geographical environment, Shen Ling might not think so.

After all, he is a grown man and it would be okay if she could understand what he meant by accompanying him to the bathroom. But it would not be good if she misunderstood him and thought he was a pervert and wanted to take advantage of her.

Fortunately, Shen Ling's mind was not here at all, so he shook his head indifferently and walked towards the bathroom.

Xie Yuan looked at Shen Ling's slender back, then looked at the blue folder in his hand, sighed softly, and said nothing.

On the other side, Shen Ling walked forward in a daze, but actually didn't really want to go to the bathroom.

For a moment, I didn't know where to go.

In fact, Shen Ling, who had experienced so many things in his previous life, was far less fragile.

It can be said that her mental endurance is much stronger than in her previous life.

Although she knew that many things had a dark side, for example, Shen Zhiqing and Shen Boyuan's treatment of herself was extremely dark.

But I know that when I witness such a dark environment around me, I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Although he has gone through many things, Shen Ling actually still has good things and good intentions in his heart.

Therefore, when she suddenly learned about these things, she was a little at a loss for what to do.

Just when Shen Ling felt extremely confused, someone suddenly seemed to bump into her.

"Ouch"

Shen Ling, who was immersed in his own thoughts, did not notice the person in front of him, so he couldn't help but hit his arm, and let out an ouch in pain.

Before she had time to take a closer look at who the person who bumped into her in front was, she saw that person hurriedly slipping past.

"Right?"

Shen Ling rubbed his arm that hurt from the collision, and was about to blurt out the apology, but it got stuck in his mouth.

Eh?

Shen Ling looked at the man in confusion, but because she was in a hurry and was distracted from the beginning, she did not see the man's face clearly.

She was obviously the one who bumped into him and was about to apologize, but the other person was the one who bumped into her. She was afraid that she would be held responsible, so she left in a hurry.

He only saw that the person seemed to be a woman and she didn't get angry after being hit by him. Instead, she was very panicked.

I saw that the woman was wearing a black coat, a pair of very slim-fitting jeans on her legs, and a large baseball cap covering her head, making it difficult to see what she looked like.

When she left, she didn't forget to lower the brim of her hat so that no one could see her face.

Watching the woman's figure gradually disappearing, Shen Ling suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity in his heart, as if he had seen her before somewhere.

Where have you seen it?

A strong doubt filled Shen Ling's heart.

Until he came out of the bathroom, washed his hands, and looked at himself in the mirror, Shen Ling still didn't understand where the familiar feeling in his heart came from.

So, Shen Ling frowned and walked back to his seat.

"Why, are you still worried about that matter?"

Xie Yu'an saw that Shen Ling's brows were frowning more tightly than when he left, and he couldn't help but feel concerned.

"no,"

Shen Ling shook his head.

When he raised his head and was about to talk to Xie Yuan about what had just happened, a vague figure seemed to flash through his mind.

correct!

She knows who that figure looks like!

However, that person should not appear here.

Shen Ling became even more confused, and a very uneasy feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"Are you not feeling well? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"No, when I just went to the bathroom, I saw a very familiar figure. It looked like someone I knew. But I also felt that that person could not appear here, so I was a little confused."

"Oh, I see."

Xie Yuan nodded understandingly.

"There are actually quite a lot of people here today. I guess your eyesight is wrong. You've been too tired these two days."

"Today's design competition actually has relatively strict requirements for those who can participate in the competition, since you also said that that person cannot appear here."

"Then you must have seen it wrong."

Xie Yuan comforted Shen Ling with a warm voice.

"Yes, there is no way that person would appear here anyway."

Shen Ling murmured to himself, as if he was explaining to Xie Yu'an, but also as if he was comforting himself.

"You, you're just too tired these days. It's my fault that I insist on dragging you into this competition. As a result, you may not have been resting well recently and you're a little confused."

Xie Yuan still had a heart-warming smile on his face, and there was a gentle coaxing in his voice.

"No, no, participating in this competition was something I was happy to do. How can I blame you?"

"It doesn't matter. Maybe I saw it wrong. You're right. Today's design competition is so strict that she can't get in at all."

Shen Ling shook his head gently, as if to shake off all the illusions just now.

"By the way, I want to check our design drawings."

"I feel a little uneasy."

Shen Ling was a little worried.

"It's okay. The two of us put the things together last night. Can there be any mistakes?"

"After coming here, the design drawings cannot be opened easily."
