C120 A Gift from Ou Jingyi

When O'Jia Rui came out, I was preparing to go back and pack my things.

"Yao Yao, calm down. I will definitely help you restore the truth." O'Jia Rui caught up with me from behind and pressed my shoulder.

At this moment, I was so angry that I couldn't even listen to a single one of their paintings, "How are you going to restore the truth? The first sentence you said after entering the door was to point at Meng's work and say 'similar to my concept map'. If it wasn't for the fact that I knew that Ou Jingyi couldn't control you, I really would have suspected that the two of you had colluded together."

The hand that Ou Jia Rui used to press on my shoulder tightened. She suppressed her anger and said, "I know it's hard for you to calm down right now. Let's go home and rest for a few days. We'll decide whether or not we come to school after you've decided on something."

I no longer paid any attention to Ou Jia Rui and just lowered my head and ran back to my own apartment. I wouldn't be angry at Ou Jia Rui's slander or the dean's suspicions, because they had nothing to do with me and didn't believe that I would uphold my obligations. Although I knew in my heart that Ou Jia Rui definitely didn't purposefully say those words, they still hurt me deeply.

After locking myself up in my room for the whole afternoon, I finally suppressed my anger and packed up my things to go to Mason's for a few days to avoid the outside world for a while.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I finally packed my things and took a taxi to an apartment that Mason had rented near the Euclidean Group. Although it was already so late, I rang the doorbell a few times, but there was still no answer.

Just as I took out my cell phone and was about to call Mason to ask when she would return home, the low battery screen finally buzzed a few times and shut itself off.

Not wanting to continue, I sat in front of Mason Shan's house and waited. At this moment, I carried a huge mountaineering bag on my back and my luggage was used as a stool. I was sitting in front of Mason Shan's house with a face full of dirt and grime, looking just like an African refugee.

It wasn't until nearly twelve o'clock, when I was dozing off against the trunk, that Mason came back looking tired.

Yao Yao, why didn't you give me a call when you came to my house? How long have you been here? Mason's voice finally rang out, and she was startled to see me standing at the door with a big bag in my hand.

As the two of them carried my luggage in, Mason pulled me to the sofa and sat me down. "What's going on? I saw your eyes were red. Did you cry?" I waved my hand, so sleepy that my eyelids twitched.

"Mason, I'm so tired. Can I go to sleep first? I promise I'll tell you the truth tomorrow." I spent the afternoon in my room, packing my luggage, and waiting for so long. My fatigue took away all my emotions, and I wanted nothing more than to get a good night's sleep.

"Alright, I'll bring you some hot water. You take a bath and go to sleep. We'll talk slowly tomorrow." Mason was very understanding and would never press me when I didn't want to talk.

After a brief wash, I threw myself on Mason's big bed and prepared to sleep, because although the bed was large enough, the bedding was all the same, and Mason and I were squeezed together on the same pillow, covered by a quilt, and although it wasn't very comfortable, we didn't have to worry about that.

After falling asleep, I didn't sleep very well because of the soreness of my neck, which was pressed against the same pillow.

She picked up her cell phone and went out onto the balcony to pick up the call. She was so sleepy that I couldn't even hear her voice. I could only hear her talking to someone on and off, but I didn't even have the strength to lift my eyes.

"Yes, boss, Yao Yao is with me …" Alright, I will have a good talk with her, hmm … She is already asleep, don't worry … "Mm, okay, then I'll have to trouble you to tell Sister Zhuo about it tomorrow morning. Okay, no need to be polite, goodbye boss."

After the call, Mason lay back on the bed, and I held her arm as if I were drowning, and Mason was the only person in the world who could save me.

After a good night's sleep, I woke up feeling refreshed. It was almost lunchtime the next morning, and Mason woke up early but couldn't bear to call me, so she just sat on the headboard of the bed, leaning against the bed to watch a play.

"Ah, I finally had a good night's sleep. When did you wake up?" I rubbed my eyes to get up and wash.

"Me? I woke up at 6 o'clock. Ever since I started my working life, I've developed such a biological clock. It wasn't easy for me to wake up so early after my boss showed mercy and let me off for half a day." Mason bitterly said.

I was very sensitive to the fact that Ou Jia Rui would definitely not give an elite like Mason a vacation for no reason. Thus, the next second, I confidently said, "You should know what I need to tell you."

I know that Ou Jingyi is a bit too much. Have you thought about what to do? Do you really want to quit school? I can go back to school and help you talk. First I can take a break from school, and then we can go next semester when you're in a good mood. "

"Then help me deal with it first, I don't know what to do, can you take me in for a few more days?" Mason and I have never been polite people. It's always straightforward to want each other's help, or to want to help each other.

"Sure, you can stay as long as you want. Don't you know how lonely I am? As long as the boss doesn't beat me to death, you can stay here forever."

So I started my life as a housewife in Mason's apartment.

I handed my bank card to Mason so she could go out and buy me a set of daily necessities, including pillows and quilts, but she rolled her eyes at me and said, "Zhou Xinyao, if you give me more money, you can move out right now. I won't take you in, will I?"

I smiled coyly as I took back my card. "I was just joking. Uncle, you should hurry up and buy it. I'm going to prepare for my hibernation at your house, even though it's not winter yet."

Every day I just watch a play, help clean up, and prepare dinner in advance. During the night, when I was alone, Mason would take me for a drive, and if it wasn't because she was a woman, I would always think that we were the most suitable people for each other.

In fact, I didn't have any anger towards him regarding the plagiarism anymore. To be fair, Ou Jia Rui was an innocent outsider, but the current me was so depressed that I really didn't know how to face his enthusiasm and concern.

One day, as usual, while I was at home cooking and waiting for Mason to come home from work, I got a call from a stranger.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Miss Zhou Xinyao?"

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

"We have your express delivery here. Where can I send it to you?" These days, I often bought all kinds of food online at home. There were all kinds of cheese, steak, canned pork and even instant noodles. Thinking that I had bought them myself, I gave the address of Mason's apartment to the courier without thinking too much about it.

We were just about to have dinner when the doorbell rang. The courier was pretty efficient, delivering the goods to us in less than an hour. I looked at the soup in the pot as I told Mason to go out and sign it for me.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Miss Zhou Xinyao? This is a delivery from Miss Ou Jingyi. Please sign it and accept it." As Mason quickly signed my name and prepared to pack it up quietly, I, with better hearing, heard the courier in the kitchen.

When I walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of soup, my expression was already awful. "What did Ou Jingyi send me?"

"How about we stop looking? It's definitely not something good, there's no need to block the way for us. If you are angry at Ou Jingyi, wouldn't that achieve your goal?" Mason was right, but I opened the package out of curiosity and patriotism.

Looking at the material and shape of the painting, I understood in my heart that after tearing apart the layers of packaging, the original painting that looked somewhat similar to my design concept map was displayed in front of me. The painting even had a note written by Ou Jingyi herself:

"I've searched for this painting in my warehouse for a long time before I found it, and now I'm giving it to you for free. I hope you can always remember that you're a designer who copied people's ideas and blueprints. "I hope you like this gift I'm giving you."

The expression on my face grew colder and colder by the second. I opened the door without hesitation and threw the painting on top of the trash can, waiting for the cleaning staff to take away the humiliation that Ou Jingyi had given me.

"Yao Yao, are you alright?" Mason looked at me with concern.

I lowered my head to eat my meal. "I'm fine, I'm almost used to Ou Jingyi acting like this. It's just that I don't know when she'll become the boss."

"Oh yeah, the boss told me to advise you a few days ago, there are a lot of things you have to face, and Director Ou really didn't do anything on this matter. Of course, I don't want you to go, you can stay here as long as you want, I just hope you don't run away anymore, this won't solve anything."

I naturally understood her good intentions. These days, she was the only person I met, although I looked very free and at ease every day, but every night when I fell asleep, she saw me tossing and turning and feeling wronged. She also couldn't bear to see me continue to decline.

"Alright, then I'll go back to the Ou Family for a few days and discuss some countermeasures with Ou Jia Rui. Oh right, help me with the suspension. I don't want to go back to the B University for now." I said sullenly.

"Okay, if you want to come back anytime, don't take your luggage with you." Mason said sincerely.

I regained my smiling appearance. "Don't worry. I will come and harass you in a few days. It's best to stay comfortably with you."

Ou Jingyi never thought that it was her gift that completely aroused my anger, urging me to be willing to return to Ou Jia Rui's side, urging me to stand up again.
