CHAPTER 100

Xu Kai walked into the room to find cramped up papers all on the floor. He found Cheng Xiao sitting on the couch with her feet on the couch and a drawing board on. 

"Cheng Xiao, what is this?" He asked.

"As you can see, I am trying to work." Cheng Xiao replied, her eyes never leaving the board.

"Is it about the competition?" Xu Kai asked.

"What else?" Cheng Xiao replied sarcastically. 

Xu Kai walked over and sat next to her. 

"If you are going to bother me, then please do me the favor and leave." Cheng Xiao spoke when he felt his presence. 

"I will just sit and watch you." Xu Kai spoke.

"I will have a study made for you." Xu Kai spoke.

He had been thinking, since now she was working as a designer she would need her own study. 

"No need, it's not like I will be here for a long time." Cheng Xiao replied but muttered the last part to herself.

"What was that?" Xu Kai asked her.

"Why are disturbing me?" Cheng Xiao asked him, looking at him with a hint of annoyance. 

"Okay, I will leave you to it." Xu Kai said raising his hands up in surrender.

Shen Mu walked into her apartment and sighed; she missed the times when Cheng Xiao lived there. Now it felt so lonely coming home in this huge apartment. She took out her phone and called her.

"Shen Mu!" Cheng Xiao answered the call.

"What are you doing?" Shen Mu asked.

"I am trying to think of jewelry to design for the competition." Cheng Xiao replied setting the things apart.

"What is the theme?" Shen Mu asked.

"Nostalgic!" Cheng Xiao replied.

"I know what I want to design, but the problem is that it's not coming out the same as I pictured it in my head." Cheng Xiao added.

"It would have been better if you were here with me, then at least you would have helped me." Cheng Xiao spoke.

"But then, even if I wanted to show you, I can't because of the rules." Cheng Xiao added with a small whine in her voice,

Back when they were still in university together, whenever Cheng Xiao got stuck, Shen Mu always knew what would work and Cheng Xiao would finish her design.
