Chapter 608: Turmoil (4)
Seeing this, Qiao Mo switched to another card. But as soon as her hand touched it, Alina snatched it away again.Fortunately, this time Qiao Mo was prepared. As soon as her hand followed, she used her other hand to draw another card, clearly just a decoy earlier.
"Despicable!" Alina’s eyes reddened a bit.
Louis frowned. Although he didn’t see what she was doing, he still spoke sternly, "Alina, if you keep messing around, leave the competition immediately."
"Hmph!" The woman snorted softly but returned to her seat in silence.
Qiao Mo thought of a phrase, ’enemies on a narrow road,’ and it seemed she and this Alina were drawn to the same topic, making peaceful days unlikely.
"Xiao Mo... what should we do? You’re grouped with that Alina." Yu Qianxun spoke softly.
"It’s alright, we’ll just focus on doing our own thing." Qiao Mo comforted gently, though she actually felt quite helpless about it.
After the grouping ended, the theme Qiao Mo received was Night, and Yu Qianxun got Spring.
Just as they planned to go back, Louis called out to her, "Qiao Mo."
"Xiao Mo, someone is looking for you, I’ll head back first." Yu Qianxun glanced at Louis and spoke softly.
"Alright."
...
"Didn’t expect to run into you here." Qiao Mo said with a smile.
"Yeah, the company sent me to check out the competition, see if there are any potential candidates." Louis spoke warmly.
Qiao Mo nodded, guessing he wanted to talk about Alina.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Louis spoke up first, "I’m sorry that because of me, you encountered trouble with Alina targeting you."
"It’s okay, nothing too unpleasant happened. But if possible, I hope she can apologize to my friend since she slapped her in public."
"Alright, I’ll talk to her."
Qiao Mo nodded, but Louis reminded again, "But still, be careful, she was spoiled since childhood and might still cause you trouble. I’ll explain to her again."
After chatting a bit with Louis, Qiao Mo headed back.
Once she returned to the dorm, she started browsing online for information, because with only half a month, time was really tight. However, precisely because of this, it tested the competitors’ abilities to the maximum.
Time flew by quickly... in a blink, a week had passed.
That day, Qiao Mo had just finalized the design draft when her phone suddenly rang.
One glance at it being Fu Nancheng, a hint of excitement arose in her heart. Seeing Yu Qianxun still flipping through books and finding information, she quietly left the room and answered the call outside.
"Not busy today?" Qiao Mo asked softly.
"Not bad."
"Missed me?" Qiao Mo’s face flushed a little.
"Yeah, when are you coming back?" Fu Nancheng asked in a deep voice.
"It’ll still be a while, it’s only been a week."
"Xiao Mo, it’s been nine days." He spoke slowly, with a hint of indiscernible emotion in his voice.
Qiao Mo covered her cheeks, her face burning, nine days... unlocking nine new positions...
Was he hinting at her? Shameless!
The two of them were lovey-dovey in the corridor.
Meanwhile, inside the room, shortly after Qiao Mo left, Yu Qianxun glanced at the door, got up and locked it, then quickly walked to Qiao Mo’s desk.
Staring at the design on the computer screen, her gaze flickered a bit.
