C45

That night, the various newspapers and discussion forums released the news that Mo Ziran had saved Zhao Xi, and the public opinion instantly pushed Zhao Xi to the heart of the matter. The previous Fang Han, the current Mo Ziran, and Zhao Xi's identity were all under curiosity, and everyone's evaluation and praise were different.

When Zhao Xi saw the news, she only smiled faintly. This was the way of society, no one cared about her; she had just entered the top three finals, and all of the focus was on her relationship with Mo Ziran and Fang Han.

Another maid also said, "This is the first time I've seen the CEO so concerned about a girl. Although the women before were all very beautiful, it seems now that the CEO doesn't even like them."

On the second floor, Zhao Xi leaned against the wall and listened to the maid's discussion. Her expression was miserable, and there was obvious pain in her eyes.

They all thought that they were just friends with Mo Ziran, and probably not everyone would think that she would be able to stand until the end with Mo Ziran.

However, this feeling was all she had.

Zhao Xi painfully clenched her fists. It was because she was too careless that she didn't look favorably upon her feelings. She clearly knew that Mo Ziran was not the same as her, but why she still couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Three days later, Zhao Xi inspected her Design Draft again and again in order to improve and update herself continuously.

If Mo Ziran had been born with an insurmountable gulf, then this was the chance for her to narrow the gap.

On the day of the finals, Mo Ziran said that he would send her to the tournament, but Zhao Xi rejected her offer with a smile: "Brother Ziran, if you were to go, I would be nervous."

Mo Ziran looked at her smile for a long while before saying, "Alright, I'll wait for your return."

Anna arrived early at the arena and received an interview: "I think my student should be the best, but there are a lot of factors involved in the competition, I can't be sure."

The corner of his eyes twitched as he saw Zhao Xi walking in while being escorted by a few bodyguards. He could not help but find it funny, looks like Mo Ziran was really frightened, he was just here for a competition, was there a need to exaggerate so much?

When Zhao Xi saw Anna, she immediately quickened her pace and walked over: "Teacher."

The bodyguards did not follow them anymore, they only stood to the side and guarded. However, they also guaranteed that no one would come close to Zhao Xi.

"Zhao, how are your preparations?" In front of the camera, Anna took back his words of ridicule and changed the words he was about to say.

Zhao Xi laughed: "I will do my best."

Anna and Zhao Xi bade farewell to the reporters, and headed towards the center of the competition grounds, while the bodyguards followed behind Zhao Xi.

"Teacher Anna, can you tell the Brother Ziran not to find anyone to follow me? I feel that everyone is looking at me with a strange expression." Although he had seen that kind of gaze many times, Zhao Xi swore that no one would ever get used to it.

Her face was not yet as honest as his.

Anna expressed her helplessness, "Someone who can change Mo's decision probably isn't born yet, but if you work a little harder, you'll probably become the first person."

Zhao Xi said helplessly: "Teacher Anna, you are overestimating me."

Today's match will reveal the final winner.

Under the spotlight, Zhao Xi and the other two designers stood shoulder to shoulder, waiting for the final judgement.

Zhao Xi's palm was covered in cold sweat. If she didn't win the championship today, then she and Mo Ziran …

The host walked forward and said, "I've already obtained the results of this competition."

Everyone held their breath, Zhao Xi was the designer who had the highest speed and exposure to the public, so she was also one of the popular candidate to be the champion.

The host laughed and said, "Let us announce the third place winner, Zhou Xinan!"

Applause rang out, and the girl bowed and made her speech with a smile.

Zhao Xi was even more nervous, it was about to reach the last moment.

"Our competition's runner-up is," the host intentionally said, as he switched back and forth between Zhao Xi and Wu Chu, "Yes, Zhao Xi!"

Zhao Xi's heart sank, and she fiercely bit her lower lip.

There was an uproar, all the people were uneasy, Zhao Xi was not the champion? How could this be?

"It seems that everyone is very surprised with this result, but the result is indeed like that. Miss Zhao Xi obtained second place in the Eli's competition and Wu Chu became our champion!"

Zhao Xi could no longer hear anything else as her heart was slowly being devoured by pain. She had lost, lost this competition, lost her dream, lost her love.

Three months ago, Mo Ziran said, "In the Eli's competition s' time, I want her to become the champion!"

But now, the results of the match had come out. She was only ranked second.

Zhao Xi did not dare look at Anna who was in the judge's seats, and did not even dare imagine how Mo Ziran would look after hearing the news.

Anna's voice sounded out on stage, attracting everyone's attention, "From everyone's reactions, I think everyone is very surprised with the result of the competition. As Zhao Xi's teacher, I am very proud that she was able to obtain the support of so many people."

Some of the spectators could not help but step forward and say, "Zhao Xi's every move has shocked us all. We have all seen her improvements, we hope to be able to think of a reasonable explanation."

"That's right, we want a reasonable explanation."

There had never been a match that the audience felt dissatisfied with after the result was announced. Zhao Xi could be said to be the first person to do so.

A reporter stood up and said, "Miss Zhao Xi's previous performance was good, and Teacher Anna is also this year's judge, I want to ask, Miss Zhao Xi did not win the championship, because she was worried that it would arouse everyone's suspicions, so she avoided the question."

Zhao Xi's supporters all expressed their agreement: "There is no need to hide from relatives, could it be that Zhao Xi's performance is not enough for him to become the champion?"

Some of the media outlets had already begun to sigh. It didn't matter if Zhao Xi had won the championship today, she would still be the biggest winner, and would also be the focus of all the media reports.

The focus in Zhao Xi's eyes gradually grew as warmth slowly welled up in her eyes, making her feel so warm that she wanted to cry.

Her strength was acknowledged, and these people were fighting for her.

Anna also looked at these people with a emotional sigh. She never thought that Zhao Xi would actually be able to obtain so much support.

"We were indeed a little hesitant just now, but in terms of the title of champion, if we were to talk about the design concept and creativity, Zhao Xi is definitely the champion, but we need to consider a lot of factors, such as how to control her own work as a whole and how to be proficient in it, Wu Chu is better."

However, someone immediately began to refute him: "Isn't ideas and creativity the most important thing in the design competition?"

At this time, Zhao Xi took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you everyone, this is the first time I feel this, to be acknowledged through my own hard work, is actually such a joyful thing."

She had been struggling, hoping that the focus would not be on the person behind her, but on herself.

She had thought that she would not get what she wanted, but her sacrifice had repaid her in this warm way on an unexpected occasion.

"I believe in the evaluation of Teacher Anna and the other teachers. Actually, my basics are very poor, so what Teacher Anna said is right. I still need to continue working hard and continue training. Zhao Xi bowed deeply.

After getting off the stage, Zhao Xi left from the back door with the bodyguards accompanying him, and without stopping for a moment, went to Anna's villa.

Although she had previously said that she accepted this ranking, she could not convince herself that she should use this ranking to face Mo Ziran.

She took out her cell phone and typed and deleted on the keyboard repeatedly. Finally, she directly sent a simple and straightforward message: "Brother Ziran, I've lost the competition. The difference between us is just too great. Sorry, I wish you happiness."

After Zhao Xi sent out the message, she decisively shut down the phone. If Mo Ziran said anything at this time, she would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Just as Anna got off the car, a message came through: "He's with you."

He raised his eyebrows and quickly replied, "What do I do?"

The other party did not reply, and in its place was a direct call.

After putting away his mobile, Anna walked into the villa and casually asked the maid next to him: "Where's Zhao?"

"Miss Zhao is upstairs. I think he's been crying."

Anna suddenly had a headache. Why was it that this little girl loved to dig her own grave?

Gently pushing open the door, Zhao Xi hugged her legs and sat on the ground. Her hair was slightly loose, a very fragile pose.

Anna slowly walked to Zhao Xi's side and asked in a small voice: "Zhao, are you sad?"

Zhao Xi slightly raised her head, "Teacher Anna, I will tell Brother Ziran that I am not suitable for him."

"Why do you say that?" Anna seemed to already know, and wasn't the least bit surprised, as he sat beside Zhao Xi and asked him about the reason.

"Brother Ziran and I are not from the same world, what the maids said is correct. Brother Ziran just likes me for a short while, that's nothing, he has other people, but I'm the only one. Isn't that unfair?"

There was no focus in Zhao Xi's eyes, she only spoke in a low voice.

"What makes you think that? Isn't Mo attentive enough for you? " Anna immediately frowned.

Zhao Xi shook her head: "Brother Ziran treats me very well, but our family history is an insurmountable obstacle, could it be that we can reach the end? Can his family agree to let him marry me? "

Anna patted Zhao Xi's head: "Are you worried about this? Zhao, I don't believe that Mo is a man who would obey the orders of his family and give up his woman. Don't you believe him? "

"Teacher Anna, let me think about it."

It was not that she didn't believe in Mo Ziran, but that she didn't believe in fate.
