The succinct mail said the wine party was at Saturday, 4 days later. Gu Yan was distraught, because it was approaching.

Gu Yan turned the computer around to show Jiang Jingcheng. He was baffled and wondered why they held a wine party when there was already a competition.

They were at a loss and didn’t know what tricks the organizers were playing.

“Let’s knock off work. We just need to fight against fire with water.”

Jiang Jingcheng was relieved on hearing her words. It seemed that Gu Yan was confident, so he didn’t need to worry about her. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan should comfort him. Jiang Jingcheng bade goodbye to Gu Yan with a grin.

Considering that the night didn’t fall and that her car had been at the parking space for days, Gu Yan decided to drive back home. So, she made a call to Mo Yichen.

“You needn’t to pick me up today. I will drive to buy vegetables, and I’ll show you my cooking skill tonight!” Gu Yan said. Mo Yichen answered in peace. Gu Yan heard the noises from the television and chuckled privately, “The president has become a couch potato!”

They didn’t talk too much. Gu Yan packed up her handbag and went downstairs to find her car, which was covered in a film of dust.

Gu Yan was a tidy person and couldn’t bear to drive such a dirty car, so she drove to a car wash and went to the supermarket near it to buy an assortment of foods. No sooner had the car been washed clean than she came out. And she drove back home.

As Gu Yan expected, Mo Yichen was lying on the couch and watching TV. It seemed that the program was insipid because he was on the verge of falling asleep. Seeing this, Gu Yan slowed down her motions. He didn’t detect her and finally fell asleep on the sofa.

Gu Yan hadn’t cooked for a long time. Since Mo Yichen took over the housework, the kitchen had been his territory, and she hardly stepped her foot there. Although his cooking skills had improved a lot, she didn’t want him to be so exhausted. Therefore, she was about to treat him with a fine meal.

Seeing that Mo Yichen had fallen into a deep sleep, Gu Yan fetched a blanket from the bedroom and put it on him. And then she walked to the kitchen, preparing foods for her lover quietly.

Mo Yichen woke up in the smell of delicacy. He was under the impression that he was in the dream. All of a sudden, he thought that he hadn’t picked Gu Yan up today. Then he bounded to his feet and was ready to go out.

“Awake? Go and wash your face. You luck out today! I have prepared a table of delicious dishes for you!” Gu Yan said, smirking at Mo Yichen. Mo Yichen was actually awake now and recalled what Gu Yan had told him, so he went to the bathroom and used a handful of water to awaken himself.

Mo Yichen, who saw a table of dishes under the dim light and Gu Yan wearing the apron, felt heartwarming when he was out of the bathroom. He thought it was the home that he wanted.

They smiled eyes to eyes.

“I will have a competition in a few days, but it was said there will be a preliminary test on the wine party. It’s so weird.” When finished having the meal, Gu Yan shared trifles on her work with Mo Yichen without looking at him. She just filled the bowl with soup and passed it to Mo Yichen.

Mo Yichen took the bowl and said, “Hmmm, indeed it is unusual. Yet I don’t need to worry about your affairs on work, because I trust in your ability, and I also believe in you in this competition.” He drank a spoonful of soup and said, “What a tasty soup! Your skills far outstrip mine.”

Not only did Mo Yichen praised Gu Yan’s capability, but also he praised her cooking skills.

Gu Yan blushed and was delighted very much.

Then they passed the day by chatting with each other.

The following day.

It was another day of preparation. Although Gu Yan had prepared a lot and researched the competition, she still had some anxiety and was not confident enough.

Jiang Jingcheng could do nothing but give her some comforts which was almost of no use. However, he became flustered as Gu Yan was anxious.

“I figure out that the director pretended to be stiff, but there are many loopholes. It seemed that she preferred innovative designs and ideas. It is hard to say. It just likes a rigid design with distinct feature. What’s your point?”

After Gu Yan observed those works for several days, she got a hazy feeling but was unable to describe it. So, she said brokenly. Jiang Jingcheng thought for a moment and contrasted what she described with other works in his mind. That was true. It possessed not just traditional style but something beyond that, so that it drew everyone’s attention when they looked at it.

“Yes! That’s the feeling. You are right! Now it will take a load off our mind. You have an almighty heart. It will be easy for you to create some refreshing deigns. In my opinion, you will be the champion.” Although it was a little exaggerated, Jiang Jingcheng meant to compliment her on her excellent aptitude from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Yan squinted at him and thought privately, “What a frivolous man! Fortunately, we are the only two left in the room. If it is heard by others, I will be sneered by them.”

“Don’t say that to others, or they will laugh at us!” said Gu Yan in a serious tone. Jiang Jingcheng knew he was wrong, so he swore that he would never say that again. After this, Gu Yan smiled and forgave him.

Anyhow, Gu Yan relived a little and thought that she didn’t need to be a fly without head, rushing around irregularly. Then she watched a few works of a kind, getting the essence from them.

She gained so much from these works.

Gu Yan’s mood gradually lightened. She heaved a sigh of relief, and so did Jiang Jingcheng, whose face was filled with happiness all the time.

Although Gu Yan was under pressure these days, she had gratitude for this competition. Design was an endless learning journey, and she realized the gap between her and the master in this period of studying. She made up her mind to improve herself.

The sun was going down outside the window.

Another day was going to pass, which meant the competition was approaching closer. Gu Yan gradually found her inner peace. And more peaceful her mind became, more things she was able to see.
