C12 I'll Give You All the Things I Can Give You

"Are you ready to go out?" Mu Nanyan asked. The tiredness from yesterday was gone. It seemed that he had slept well last night.

She had just woken up and was still feeling dizzy.

"I've already gone out. I'll wait for you outside the district." Qiao Qianchu walked down the last flight of stairs, turned a corner, and stopped abruptly, her eyes wide.

The phone in his hand was still pressed to his ear, but a man's voice came from the front, mixing together with the voice from the phone, "I'm here."

Mu Nanyan raised her head and laughed the moment she saw her. Her lips curved into a silent smile as she maintained the position of holding her phone.

She had seen his papers and lived at least forty minutes' drive from here. So he had been up since six in the morning?

Qiao Qianchu felt a little ashamed. She had heard the tiredness in his voice last night. It seemed that he had caught a cold …. If she hadn't lied, he wouldn't have had to drive here so early in the morning.

"Have you caught a cold?" Qiao Qianchu asked as they walked.

"Almost." Mu Nanyan slowly put down the phone and waited for Qiao Qianchu to arrive in front of her.

Qiao Qianchu slowly extended her hand and spread out the cold powder that she had been holding in her palm. She had just taken it temporarily.

Mu Nanyan was slightly surprised. She passed it forward before he took it.

"I'm going to the courthouse at ten. When are you coming home?" Mu Nanyan asked.

"Afternoon."

"It just so happens that I'll go with you to pick out gifts. You know your mom's preferences better, so you bought the wedding ring as well."

Qiao Qianchu turned her head to look at him in surprise. Since she didn't hold a banquet nor inform her relatives, she naturally didn't need a wedding ring. She hadn't thought about buying the wedding ring.

"What's wrong?" Sensing her gaze, Mu Nanyan tilted her head to look at her and saw the surprise on her face.

"I thought …"

Mu Nanyan laughed. "It was a bit rushed, but I will give you everything I can."

Qiao Qianchu's heart jerked and she withdrew her gaze.

"You don't want to hold the banquet? We don't have many relatives, and I'm afraid to deal with those things. " she said.

"Alright." Mu Nanyan nodded.

"I …" Qiao Qianchu thought of the words on the computer screen yesterday and hesitated.

"What's wrong?"

"It's fine. I'll call you after class. We'll arrange another time."

The car turned around the corner and moved forward on the main road. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qiao Qianchu told Mu Nanyan to let her off at the corner of the school gate, "I … "Let's go." She waved her hand.

"Alright." He laughed and drove away.

"Chu!" Chu! This way! " A clear and melodious female voice rang out.

Qiao Qianchu turned around and saw a girl waving at her from the school gate.

"Zheng Huan?" Qiao Qianchu whispered, puzzled. She walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Buy breakfast in June. It's so cold today … " Zheng Huan said as she hopped her feet.

June's real name was Lu Yue, because "Lu" is the capital letter of "six", everyone half-jokingly called down.

Qiao Qianchu noticed that Zheng Huan's ankles had already turned red from the wind, and her jacket had been put on temporarily. She was wearing only a pair of slippers on such a cold day.

Zheng Huan suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, Professor Zhou asked you to come to his office today. I've already sent you the message. Did you get it?"

"I received it, that's why I came here today." she said.

"Then go quickly …" June is here! " Zheng Huan pointed ahead.

Qiao Qianchu turned her head and saw a well-dressed woman walking step by step towards her. Not only was he dressed neatly, even his makeup had been changed into a complete set...

"I'll be going in first." Qiao Qianchu nodded to Lu Yue before turning her head to Zheng Huan.

"Not going with them?" Zheng Huan was surprised.

"How can busy people have the time to be with us?" Lu Yue's light laughter was pleasant to listen to, but it always carried a hint of ear-piercing tone. "The red man in front of Professor Zhou, don't forget us if you stick your head out."

It sounds like a joke, but it's always sharp.

The festivities with Lu Yue began when they first entered the school. It was very tormenting to be different from the professional in understanding painting, color, and other questions. It was basically inevitable to have an argument with another hot-tempered individual. Her relationship with Lu Yue was formed during the beginning of the school year when they were cooperating together to participate in the tournament.

"I'm leaving." Qiao Qianchu smiled before turning around and leaving.

She quickly found the tallest teaching building and walked inside.

When he arrived at a door marked "Zhou Canglin's Studio", he raised his hand and lightly knocked the door.

"Come in." A deep sound that was extremely penetrating came from the inside.

Qiao Qianchu walked in and smiled at the middle-aged man leaning against the reclining chair. "You're quite rich."

"Sigh!" Seeing it was Qiao Qianchu, Zhou Canglin immediately sat up and laughed loudly: "This is the first time you've arrived early!"

"I'm afraid if I don't hand in my homework, you'll throw me out of the student list." Qiao Qianchu smiled as she closed the door.

Zhou Canglin took the drawing from her, casually glanced at it a few times, then put it down.

"I'm not looking for you to hand in your homework." Zhou Canglin smiled and turned around to look for something in the drawer.

"Treat me to a meal?" Qiao Qianchu laughed.

Her four years of college and two years of graduate school were all led by Director Zhou. Director Zhou was a naughty kid, so when Qiao Qianchu was with him, she couldn't help but joke around.

"It should be you treating me to a meal, take a look." Director Zhou took out a literary work from the drawer.

"'Enlightenment'." Qiao Qianchu looked at the familiar title, turned two pages, and fixed her eyes on the small pictures below many words. "Is this the picture I drew last year?"

"Yes, this is the number one book on this month's bestseller list … You actually didn't tell me? If I hadn't recognized your signature... "

Qiao Qianchu frowned. The sketch had indeed been sold to the publishing firm, but that was last year. She didn't know who it had been sold to, and only knew that it would appear in essays written by some writers.

She looked at the author's name: Jiang Chengbei.

The name wasn't bad. It had some artistic conception.

"I don't know where my sketches went. I just wanted to make some money." Qiao Qianchu put down the book.

Zhou Canglin had a "as expected" look on his face, "I knew you wouldn't remember it …" This writer still has a book to go on sale at the beginning of next year, but I can't find your contact information. I don't know how he found me. They screened a number of illustrators. The writer was not satisfied and wanted the illustrator from last year to continue working with them. Can you draw? "

Qiao Qianchu looked at the title of the book. The cover was a vast expanse of sky. She remembered that this was the last time she had drawn an illustration last year. Since Fu Bai had gone abroad, she had never had the mood to make these fancy things again.

Director Zhou must have heard some things about her to ask such a question.

"I can." Qiao Qianchu said calmly.

Zhou Canglin's eyes lit up, "Then why don't you give me the two sketches you owe me last time! "I'm still lacking a few pieces for this year's exhibition..."

Qiao Qianchu said helplessly, "I'll hand one over."

Zhou Canglin muttered in dissatisfaction.

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." She stood up.

"I gave your phone number to that publishing firm." Zhou Canglin also stood up and walked her to the door. He muttered, "Time is of the essence, why aren't you drinking two cups of tea with me …"

Qiao Qianchu waved her hand with a smile, turned around and left.

Her cell phone vibrated. Tang Yixin's text flashed on the screen. She opened it and saw that it was a discount sale! Take your wallet! Hold your courage! It was half past two!

She quickly replied, Mu Nanyan came to our house for dinner this evening.

Tang Yixin's text came in: So soon? That had nothing to do with the events of the afternoon! You still want to date a man when those damn brands are being discounted once a year? Since he had already received his proof, there was no way he could escape!

Qiao Qianchu replied: I have to pick out a present this afternoon.

Tang Yixin: Bringing him home is the biggest gift.

Qiao Qianchu was still surprised about the change in Tang Yixin's tone when she saw Tang Yixin's text message: "It was Zhang Zishan! "It's not me!"

Qiao Qianchu instantly understood that these two clowns were together.

She replied, I was wondering how you learned to use a period.

Tang Yixin: …

Qiao Qianchu walked into a coffee shop near the school's entrance. She took out her cell phone and called Mu Nanyan?

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
