I was dedicated by the female lead to the male lead

"dad?"

Xia Xiaomu was stunned.

Was it Professor Xie who knocked on the door?

But, how could Xia Qianbai entertain guests like this? !

He remembered that Xia Qianbai was so nervous that he almost suffocated in front of Lu Jinghan last time.

Xia Xiaomu was full of doubts, but it was not easy to show it in front of Xie Wen. He hurried over to take the fruit plate from Xia Qianbai's hand, and brought it to Xie Wen.

Apologizing: "Professor Xie, I'm sorry. I had dinner with my friends and I came back late. Jean, you have been waiting for a long time."

Xie Wen also stood up, and when she saw Xia Xiaomu, she also looked helpless: "No, it's okay, you...have you had dinner? How about we eat together?"

"I……"

I have to accompany you even if I don't eat.

"I haven't eaten either."

When Xia Xiaomu was asked, she couldn't say the polite words she wanted to say, so she sat down with her smiling face and saw that the food in her bowl hadn't moved much, so she asked:

"Does the food my dad cooks suit your taste?"

As soon as the words came out, Xia Qianbai standing at the door of the kitchen immediately straightened his back, nervously waiting for Xie Wen's evaluation.

"It's pretty good, it still tastes the same." Xie Wen turned her head and asked Xia Qianbai softly, "Why don't you come over?"

"I, I'll be right here." Xia Qianbai panicked, walked to the dining table with hands and feet, and sat down next to Xia Xiaomu.

Xia Xiaomu looked at him questioningly, Xia Qianbai nodded to him, expressing that it's okay.

However, when the three of them sat together, the dinner table became even quieter. They all looked cautious and no one dared to speak.

It was already a miracle that Xia Qianbai could sit in front of outsiders without being so nervous that he became short of breath.

Xie Wen is a guest, and she looks very reserved today.

Xia Xiaomu felt that she had to come out to ease the atmosphere, and asked with a smile: "Professor Xie, have you ever tasted the food made by my dad before?"

Xie Wen: "Yes, I have tasted it."

Xie Wen was calm when facing Xia Qianbai, but seemed more nervous when facing Xia Xiaomu.

Her voice was low, like a discussion: "Xiao Mu, don't be too polite when talking to me. Don't always call me a professor."

Xia Xiaomu: "Then, shall I call you Teacher Xie? Thank you, Aunt Xie?"

"I……"

Xie Wen glanced at Xia Qianbai, Xia Qianbai bowed his head and remained silent.

The dining table fell into an eerie silence again.

Did I say something wrong?Can someone explain what happened to the two of them?

Xia Xiaomu was going crazy.

No, we have to change the subject.

"Thank you..." Xia Xiaomu stopped talking.

What to call her after all! !

Xia Xiaomu was about to skip the address directly, and sneered to cover up her embarrassment: "By the way, do you also think there is something wrong with Mr. Zhou's "Oasis"?"

Xie Wen nodded: "That work was drawn by your father."

Xia Xiaomu exclaimed: "As expected, you know. In fact, Brother Jing Han and I are now looking for evidence that Zhou Tingsheng used the works of the accused to put his name on it for profit."

Xia Qianbai: "... Mu Mu, forget it, after all, I sold the painting to him. Besides, it's empty talk, and it caused trouble. Let's let this matter go."

Xia Xiaomu: "I also wanted to forget it, but now it is found out that he not only profited from your work, but also stole his students' research results and paintings, and brazenly put his name on it to increase his qualifications. In this way This person has no teacher morality and is not worthy of being a teacher at all. If he is not taught a lesson, someone will be harmed by him in the future."

Now even if one more person stood up and pointed out that this painting was painted by Xia Qianbai, it would be one more witness.And Xie Wen's status is enough to make more people believe that the work was painted by Xia Qianbai.

It depends on whether Xie Wen is willing or not.

Xia Xiaomu looked at Xie Wen, and asked tentatively, "Can you..."

Xia Qianbai saw his intentions and immediately warned him: "Mu Mu, don't cause trouble for...Professor Xie."

Xie Wen smiled: "Troublesome? You are still like this, and everything is too troublesome, so at this age, you still rely on Xiao Mu to hold an art exhibition for you, to stand out for you.

What have you done all these years, you don’t seek treatment when you are sick, and give up on yourself.It also made Xiao Mu and you suffer, so he had to apply for a scholarship to go to school.Poor students who are so difficult that they can't even afford to eat..."

The more Xie Wen talked, the more excited she became.

It sounds like blame, and it sounds like resentment.

After all, it was his own father, and Xia Xiaomu was still uncomfortable being scolded face to face by outsiders. He explained: "Professor Xie, my father, he has a reason..."

Xia Qianbai immediately interrupted him: "Mu Mu, don't talk!"

Xia Xiaomu: ...

Don't let people speak for you.

Just want to be scolded!

Xie Wen realized her gaffe, she took a deep breath, and adjusted her tone: "I have evidence in my hand, enough to prove that the painting "Oasis" was painted by you. Do you want to calm down?"

Xia Xiaomu was overjoyed, before Xia Qianbai could answer: "What evidence do you have?"

When Xie Wen spoke to Xia Xiaomu, her tone immediately softened: "It's a video file, I'll send it to you when I get home, what are you going to do?"

"Brother Jing Han is also helping me collect other evidence for him. I think it will be a slow process for this kind of thing to pass the law. It is better to send it out through the Internet and let the public opinion convict him."

Xie Wen: "Do you need my help?"

Xia Xiaomu: "Maybe in the end, I need you to say a word, just say that "Oasis" was drawn by my dad. After all, what you say carries a lot of weight. Can you?"

Xie Wen smiled and said, "No problem."

Looking at Xia Qianbai again: "What about you?"

Xia Qianbai rubbed his hands together helplessly, and said worriedly: "I'm just... afraid that he will trouble Mu Mu. I'm afraid that he will hurt Mu Mu."

"Will not!"

Xia Xiaomu understands Xia Qianbai's worry. It turns out that the world has experienced it, making him understand this helplessness of being alone and helpless better than anyone else.

He held Xia Qianbai's hand: "Dad, with brother Jing Han helping us and Professor Xie testifying for us, Zhou Tingsheng is nothing to be afraid of. Don't worry, he won't harm me.

And Zhou Tingsheng was even more afraid, otherwise he wouldn't have seen "Oasis" withdrawn so quickly after your work was exhibited. "

Xia Qianbai looked at Xie Wen, then at Xia Xiaomu, and finally nodded: "I listen to you."

Because of this incident, the three reached a consensus, and the atmosphere improved a lot afterwards.Basically, Xie Wen and Xia Xiaomu talked about school, friends, and class.

They also chatted with Lu Jinghan for a while, Xia Xiaomu didn't shy away from her, but was slightly embarrassed about the relationship between Xie Wen and Xie Weiwan.

Xia Qianbai did not speak, and kept serving soup and vegetables for the two of them.In addition, Xia Qianbai's cooking skills are really good. From the beginning, the two ate slowly and reservedly, but at the end they couldn't stop their chopsticks. At the end of the meal, they were actually very friendly.

And when Xie Wen was talking to him, she accidentally hiccupped and immediately covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

Before I knew it, I was eating and chatting until after ten o'clock at night.

Xie Wen saw the time was too late, so she said goodbye to Xia Xiaomu.

After she left, Xia Xiaomu asked Xia Qianbai in surprise, "Dad, why did Professor Xie come to the house?

Are you feeling better?Can you sit with someone other than me?Didn't you start seeing a doctor yet? "

"She rang the bell and I let her in."

When Xia Qianbai spoke, his voice trembled.

Only then did Xia Xiaomu realize that his hands were shaking slightly.When I touched his body, the clothes inside were completely soaked.

It turned out that it was to entertain Xie Wen, and she had been enduring it all the time.

Xia Xiaomu immediately felt distressed and blamed herself. She blamed herself for drinking during the day and completely forgot about it.That's why Xia Qianbai entertained Xie Wen alone for so long.

He helped Xia Qianbai go upstairs: "Dad, you go to rest quickly, I'll clean up the kitchen. Do you want me to make tea for you?"

When Xia Xiaomu cleaned up the kitchen and returned to her room.He saw the email from Xie Wen, with a video file attached.

He quickly turned on the computer and clicked on the video.

The time shown in the video is 20 years ago and the date is July 7.

The picture quality is not very clear, but you can see the magnificent surrounding environment.Under the blue and cloudless sky, there is an endless, undulating golden desert.

In the desert, a long-haired man stands in front of a drawing board and draws.The wind blew slightly, and a few strands of long hair fluttered around his ears, revealing a side face, which could be vaguely seen as Xia Qianbai when he was young.

On the drawing board is the real scene restoration of the surrounding desert world. The highlight is that there is a clear spring not far away.

Isn't this the prototype of "Oasis"?

Xia Xiaomu almost jumped up in surprise, Xia Qianbai personally drew the video of "Oasis"!This is simply an ironclad proof.

Who is shooting this video? Could Xia Qianbai 20 years ago tolerate others being so close to him?

Just as I was thinking, the clear female voice of the photographer came from the video: "Let me witness the birth of a masterpiece. This is something that cannot be seen in the video, but every grain of sand in the original painting can be seen. Clearly, this is the first time that I, Xie Wen, have seen someone with such great painting skills, and I am willing to bow down."

It was taken by Xie Wen!

The two knew each other 20 years ago.

Xie Wen's voice was brisk, and she asked with some teasing: "This handsome guy, can I ask you to be my teacher? Can you teach me how to draw every grain of sand so clearly?"

In the video, Xia Qianbai turned his head slightly and glanced at the camera. He smiled shyly, then quickly lowered his head, turned around and continued to color with the pen.

"……Wow!"

Xia Xiaomu couldn't help exclaiming, Xia Qianbai was so handsome when he was young!

The long hair hangs down to the shoulders, and the facial features are as beautiful as those drawn, the face is sharp and angular, but the curves are soft.Like a gentleman as gentle as jade, Qingjun is full of literary and artistic style.

Especially the shy smile when he turned his head, young and pure.

In the video, Xie Wen's voice sounded again: "See, he is a peerless handsome man. His name is Xia Qianbai, I want to ask Xia Qianbai, you are so powerful, but why is your name not in the art world? "

With his back to the camera, Xia Qianbai froze in mid-air with a paintbrush in his hand, pleading in his voice: "...don't, don't take pictures."

Xie Wen smiled: "Okay, I won't talk anymore, you can continue to draw."

Xia Qianbai picked up the paintbrush, but the movements of his hands became much slower, and he was much more cautious in his brushwork.

After that, Xie Wen did not speak any more, and recorded the whole process of Xia Qianbai's drawing.

The entire video is 10 minutes long, and the final version of "Oasis" is almost finished.No wonder Xie Wen questioned Zhou Tingsheng like that in the lounge of the art exhibition. It turned out that she witnessed the completion of "Oasis".

Xia Xiaomu quickly sent the video to Lu Jinghan: -- the ironclad evidence provided by Professor Xie.

The phone rang quickly -- a video request.

Video is the first time.

Xia Xiaomu paused for a moment, and first confirmed her beauty to the screen, it seemed that Xia Qianbai was not handsome in the video.And Xia Qianbai is quite tall, why is he so short!

He nodded in frustration.

"Brother Jinghan. Why are you thinking of making a video call?"

"want to see you."

Lu Jinghan's mobile phone stood on the computer table, his handsome profile was displayed on the screen, and there was the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Xia Xiaomu snapped: "Obviously he was looking at the computer."

Lu Jinghan turned his eyes to the screen and said with a smile, "I'm opening the video you sent right now."

While talking, he casually unbuttoned the pajamas with one hand, exposing some of his chest.Honey-colored skin and strong muscle lines are looming through the screen of the mobile phone.

Xia Xiaomu: "...you fouled."

Lu Jinghan asked in a low voice, "You don't want to watch?"

"Again, untie it a little more."
