At ten o'clock in the evening, everyone else has gone to bed, and all the cameras are turned off at this point.

Everything is silent.

Ji Xingchen was sitting alone in the room. She moved a stool and sat in front of the window, staring at the bright moon outside the window.

free.

What is freedom?

How to combine freedom and jewelry?

She remained silent and sat there with an expression on her face until the wind came in through the cracks in the window. Ji Xingchen finally noticed a hint of coldness and slowly stood up from the chair and retreated back to the bed.

She is still pregnant with the baby and cannot stay up late.

Ji Xingchen forced herself to close her eyes. Her habit of easily forgetting time and staying awake once she gets lost in thinking and creating was really not a good thing.

As she thought about it, her breathing gradually became calmer.

It wasn't until the third day of the live broadcast of the finals that Ji Xingchen finally started to write. She was immersed in her own world, sketching stroke by stroke.

In order to maintain suspense, everyone was swept away when designing.

So when the camera scanned Ji Xingchen's manuscript, it was so fast that even the audience didn't catch it.

[What did the eldest lady draw? I didn’t see it at all]

【Me too 1】

[It was so fast that I didn’t even have time to take a screenshot. There was only a high-definition picture, so I couldn’t see clearly what it was. Hey, it will be announced tomorrow anyway, so don’t rush it now]

[Have you noticed that the number of real-time viewers of this competition live broadcast is higher than that of other variety shows of the same period! It is completely crushed!]

[Hahaha, I’m here to see the eldest lady, how about you? 】

[What I said upstairs is the same as who is not here to see the eldest lady]

[Oh, Dare to Love Ji Xingchen is more popular than a celebrity? 】

[I can’t help it, who doesn’t love a girl who is cute, cute and capable]

【Ah ah ah ah, I really want to know what the eldest lady has drawn!!!!】

[I have a hunch that the eldest lady will definitely take first place!!]

The finals soon came to the last day, and Ji Xingchen's first draft was almost completed. He just needed to make some more refinements in the details.

Ji Xingchen stretched and showed a satisfied smile.

The spirit had been highly tense for several days, and it was rare that he could finally relax. Ji Xingchen carefully put away the manuscript, then opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat to fill his stomach.

At the entrance of the stairs, I met Wang Qi, who was considered a well-known designer in China, but Ji Xingchen was not familiar with her, so he just nodded lightly and said hello without saying a word.

Wang Qi obviously had no intention of talking to Ji Xingchen and walked delicately past her.

Ji Xingchen turned to look at her and suddenly said: "Isn't your room on the first floor?"

The second floor is all bedrooms. Except for a few people who live here, no one usually comes up.

Wang Qi's eyes were a little dodgeful, but he quickly calmed down, smiled and said, "The toilet in the bathroom on the first floor is broken. I came to your place to use the bathroom."

Ji Xingchen nodded and said nothing more.

I happened to see Li Sisi in the dining area. She sat down next to Li Sisi with a dinner plate.

Li Sisi naturally welcomed Ji Xingchen's arrival, "Xingchen, how come you stay day and night? I can't see you even during the day."

Ji Xingchen smiled lightly and said, "It feels more comfortable without cameras in the room. Well, there are more than a dozen camera seats in this living room alone, and I feel uncomfortable even eating."

Li Sisi feels the same way about this. She has eaten less in the past few days because of the live broadcast, and she is afraid that others will see that she is a good foodie.

She nodded and said: "That's true. I don't know what James is thinking this time. He insists on doing a live broadcast. If you say it's a competition, it's a competition. We're not celebrities, so why do we have to go to such trouble."

Ji Xingchen took a bite of beef and whispered: "The live broadcast has been huge in the past two years. AU wants to build international reputation, and didn't James just open a design company? He probably wants to open up the market in our country, and through AU

Promote your own design brand and kill two birds with one stone."

The voices of the two were very low, and the radio was not picked up. The audience could only see the two talking head to head, but could not clearly hear what was said.

Ji Xingchen was halfway through his meal when he glanced sideways at Wang Qi coming down from upstairs. He frowned slightly and turned to ask Li Sisi, "Is the toilet in your bathroom downstairs broken?"

Li Sisi said: "Yes, I found it blocked when I first entered, but the staff has already found someone to repair it, and they will probably arrive in a while."

Ji Xingchen raised his eyebrows and continued to cook.

Four hours before the final night, everyone handed in their entries. Because the filming was in a closed environment, no one at the final scene knew what was happening outside.

The process is similar to the previous design competition. 20 designers went on stage to explain and introduce their works according to their number plates, and then the judges selected the top three trophies.

Ji Xingchen was sitting in the audience. Compared to Li Sisi's nervousness, she seemed much calmer and more relaxed.

Ji Xingchen was the third to last player. Before Li Sisi came on the stage, Ji Xingchen gave her a cheering gesture.

Somehow, Li Sisi's original nervousness dissipated a little because of this small cheering move.

Ji Xingchen looked at Li Sisi on the stage from the audience. This was her only amazing work so far tonight. When Li Sisi came off the stage, Ji Xingchen raised her hand and gave her her first applause tonight.

Li Sisi sat back next to her and said excitedly: "This is the first time I have participated in such a big event. Those places used to be so small, how could they have such grandeur?"

Ji Xingchen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "You've only been out for two years, and you've gradually gotten used to it. Didn't you see the judges' expressions?"

Li Sisi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xingchen: "It means you have something to play for."

"Really?" Li Sisi asked happily.

Ji Xingchen said: "I never lie, of course it is true, but it depends on the works of the designers behind me. At present, it seems that you are the best."

Li Sisi smiled: "How about comparing with you?"

Ji Xingchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, then reached out and poked Li Sisi's forehead: "That's still close."

"Pfft!" Li Sisi: "I've known you for two years, and every time I see you, you act like the most amazing mother. Can we be more humble?"

When the organizer called Ji Xingchen's number on the stage, she stood up gracefully, her knee-length skirt highlighting her graceful figure.

She smiled at Li Sisi and said softly: "No, after all, my strength does not allow me to keep a low profile."

Li Sisi was stunned by the bright smile for a moment. When she reacted belatedly, Ji Xingchen had already appeared on the stage.

The way she confidently explains her work on stage is so charming!

Li Sisi has almost become Ji Xingchen's crush.

But she soon realized something was wrong, because every judge looked ugly, especially James, whose face looked gloomy.

Li Sisi had a bad feeling in her heart. From her professional point of view, the work designed by Ji Xingchen was definitely enough to win first place tonight, but why did the judges look like this?

While Ji Xingchen was talking on the stage, he also felt something unusual. The place was so quiet, it was a bit eerie.

Ji Xingchen suppressed the weirdness in his heart and continued to explain his work, but was interrupted by a voice in English.

James picked up the phone, looked seriously, and asked in English: "Ms. Ji, is this your own work?"

Ji Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said affirmatively: "Yes."

James frowned, his expression seemed disappointed, and he said coldly: "Let me ask you again, is this a work of your own design?"

Ji Xingchen was also a little unhappy at this time. Why was the work she spent several days designing with great effort not hers?

Her eyes became cold and she still answered firmly: "Yes."

James said: "Ms. Ji, your work is suspected of plagiarism. I hope you can give us a clear explanation. We at AU do not need designers who plagiarize. This is a stain on our competition and an insult to all designers."

Ji Xingchen froze, and she felt that all the blood in her body had solidified.

In a short period of time, she quickly recalled in her mind whether there were any works where creative ideas came together.

As long as the design is in the creative industry, it is normal to have conflicts. Everyone will always have the same ideas, but Ji Xingchen quickly rejected his own ideas.

Impossible, her design inspiration is Lu Yanbei, his past and future.

It was the freedom he was about to regain from the Lu family.

It was the gift she planned to give him.

It will never collide with other people’s works!
