Green tea junior is always catching me

Chapter 32

Li Xinghe rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating due to exhaustion.

Patrick sent him a message suddenly, and it was like a speech material like fire water? ? ?

Why is he sending it now?

Did he install surveillance around him?Li Xinghe couldn't help thinking.

——No, this incident just happened, he didn't even have time to post on Weibo or make complaints about Moments.The only people who knew about it were Yu Shijie, Yao Sanhua, Zhao Qingbei, and perhaps Bai Ju.

So how did patrick know?

Li Xinghe narrowed his eyes in disbelief, the lines still grew motionless on the screen, as if quietly laughing at his panic.

Just when he couldn't move, another message popped up on the private chat interface.

Patrick: [I forgot to tell you last time, there are a few places that are not safe, I helped you to change them. 】

Seeing these words, Li Xinghe gradually let go of the stone in his heart.

Huh, it seems that he just sent it by coincidence at this time.

Maybe it's because I think too much, how can people have the leisure and elegance to watch him.

For some reason, after comforting himself like this, he felt even more weird in his heart.

But time was running out, so he couldn't care less, and after thanking him, he downloaded the file and read it.

Sure enough, as Patrick said, he made some optimizations on the original basis, and even added a few questions that the judges might raise for him based on his own experience.

Li Xinghe looked it over carefully, and found that Patrick was indeed much more thoughtful than him.

There are some questions that he didn't expect, and he will definitely be caught off guard when the time comes.

...Wait, but how did Patrick know the style of the judges in this competition?

Hasn't he never participated in this kind of competition?

Li Xinghe was shocked, his back broke out in cold sweat.

He remembered that some time ago, someone asked on Weibo why Patrick never photographed animals.

——Yes, he seldom shoots animals, and has never participated in animal shooting competitions, but he knows the information of this competition well.

This is so unreasonable!

Li Xinghe looked around reflexively. There was a soothing sound of keyboard typing in the area of ​​the computer room. Everyone was silently staring at the computer in front of them, not peeping at him.

Fuck, he silently scolded his mother in his heart.

So fucking scary.

What's it like to be an idol as a potential voyeur, it's fucking insane!

There was only one night left before the competition, Li Xinghe could only temporarily suppress the strange feeling in his heart, and continued to recite the manuscript with tears in his eyes.

That night, he had a dream.

I dreamed that Cao Xu appeared above his bed with that acne-prone face, bared his teeth and said to him, "Little Xingxing, hello."

Li Xinghe asked tremblingly, "Who are you?"

He complained to himself in his dream, who the hell are you, why would you ask such a question, isn't he Cao Xu.

Cao Xu smiled and said, "I'm your male god Patrick, you don't recognize me anymore? Don't you like me very much?"

Li Xinghe was frightened awake on the spot, and the first thing he did after waking up was to grab the neck pillow at hand and smash it on the next bed.

"Ouch——Brother Xing, why did you hit me?" Cao Xu woke up from his sleep, rubbing his forehead in bewilderment.

Li Xinghe: "..."

Fuck, he's going crazy.

It was dawn, and he got up quickly to get dressed.

The speech contest started at nine o'clock, and his serial number was the third, so he had to go to the dojo early.

After a simple breakfast, he followed Bai Su's instructions and went to the East Gate to wait for the car arranged by the photography agency.

Li Xinghe was dumbfounded when he saw the car.

Bai Su chartered a bus, and people from the photography agency poked their heads out of the window one by one and waved to him, "Xinghe, get on the bus."

Li Xinghe hurriedly got into the car, and was shocked by the full car.

Bai Su said with a smile, "Everyone wants to cheer for you...by the way, let's take a look at the photography exhibition on the second floor."

The corners of Li Xinghe's mouth twitched, "Brother Bai, did you make a mistake, they actually wanted to visit the exhibition, so please cheer me on."

"Hahaha, it's the same, it's the same." Bai Su laughed.

When Li Xinghe saw the banner at his feet, he couldn't laugh at all.

"What is this?" he asked.

Yao Sanhua happily asked for credit, and opened the banner to show him, "This is a banner I made specially for you."

I saw it said "Li Xinghe, a rookie photographer! Li Xinghe is invincible! Xinghe flies bravely, and my sister will always be with me!".

Li Xinghe gasped, almost fainting.

Pull this at the door, you will be ridiculed to death by the players coming and going!

"Sister Sanhua..." he said weakly.

Yao Sanhua excitedly took out more than a dozen fans with his big head picture printed on them, "And this one, when the time comes, I'll sneak in and give a copy to the judges below, won't they remember you now! Surely they will special treatment for you."

No, they will kick me out of the game directly, Li Xinghe said heartily.

Fortunately, except for the players, no one else could enter the scene.

Yao Sanhua failed to make her plan and was directly blocked outside.

To Li Xinghe's surprise, many people came from the photography club, but Zhao Qingbei didn't come.

On the bus, he scanned the interior of the car, but he didn't find that familiar figure, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Sensing his expression, Bai Su said to him, "Old Zhao has something to do at the moment, he said he's doing a photo album collection, so he won't be here until later."

Li Xinghe pretended to be nonchalant and said: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come."

Bai Su smiled.

After entering the scene, Li Xinghe didn't think about anything else.

He was so nervous that he was about to throw up.

The premises are much quieter than the outside, for the record.

That posture, it feels like it will be the same for any interview.

Li Xinghe noticed that the third judge from the left was a fat middle-aged man.

This should be Shen Hao, the editor-in-chief of "Green Earth" magazine that Bai Su said.

On his right sat a young man with long hair and glasses. He looked very literary and artistic, and he was spinning a pen impatiently.

When number three was called, Li Xinghe took a few deep breaths, wiped the sweat from his palms and went on stage.

He often acted as the one who was forced to speak in group work at school.

But that situation is different from competitions. Group assignments allow you to make mistakes. If you are a little careless in the competition and leave a bad impression on the judges, your score will be greatly reduced.

He had already memorized the speech script backwards, tried to keep his tone even and calm, and finished explaining his work to the ppt.

Sure enough, as Zhao Qingbei said, these judges are not easy-going lamps, and the questions they ask are professional and tricky.

Li Xinghe dealt with them profusely, feeling like he was in the graduation defense scene ahead of schedule.

But the difference is that there may be a teacher to help him in the graduation defense, but now there is not even a rescuer, and he is madly attacked by several people.

Among the questions Patrick provided him, he got three bets correctly.

Although Li Xinghe didn't quite understand the meaning of some terms, he still said it out of the box.

The judges obviously knew that he memorized it by rote, so they looked at each other and smiled, and Shen Hao also laughed.

At that moment, Li Xinghe felt that his forehead was sweating.

What are you doing laughing so creepily.

The last question was asked by the long-haired judge.

He looked at Li Xinghe with his chin in his hand and said, "Can I ask a digression?"

Li Xinghe thought to himself that I have no right to refuse, so he nodded to him with a dry smile.

The man said, "Let's talk about what you're wearing today."

Li Xinghe: "??"

He looked at himself, he was wearing a casual suit that Ding Huishan bought for him, it seemed to be a show model of a certain year.The inner build is a simple low collar base,

Formal but not too formal wear, very suitable for young boys.

But does this have anything to do with today's game?

But since he asked, Li Xinghe had to answer, so he had to bite the bullet and talk nonsense: "First of all, I chose the Armani suit in consideration of today's occasion, and this iris brooch is also to match today's theme - man and nature, And it echoes the pattern on the shoes. Well, the reason why I didn’t use the animal brooch is because I wanted to reflect the natural environment, rather than using the animal itself as a material...”

He talked nonsense, and even touched on brand implication and corporate vision. In short, he plagiarized all the content he heard in the company law.

The man listened with a smile all the time, finally nodded and said, "I just want to know how you manage to have more than five colors all over your body and still be so harmonious."

Li Xinghe: "..."

A bunch of curse words raced through his mind, and then turned into a forced smile.

The man waved his hand: "Next."

Li Xinghe finally stepped off the stage as if he was running away. He had a premonition that this match might be over.

Firstly, compared to those professional photographers, he was really overwhelmed; secondly, Shen Hao didn't even look at him, just lowered his head and shook slightly.

It seems that he is still too immature, but it is good to come out to see and see, so as to save him from fantasizing that he can become a real photographer all day long, he thought to himself.

The game went on all morning, and it was not until around one o'clock that votes were counted.

The judges didn't rest or eat, and the others naturally sat in their seats and didn't dare to move.

The host announced the results. Li Xinghe was not in the top three, but he won a consolation prize anyway.

After the game, Li Xinghe stood up, ready to go out with the crowd.

As soon as he stood up, he saw Shen Hao waving.

He pointed to his nose with a puzzled expression, and Shen Hao nodded at him, beckoning him to go over.

Li Xinghe walked over puzzled, only to see the long-haired man still sitting next to Shen Hao.

Seeing Li Xinghe approaching, he raised his head and smiled at him.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that this person was well dressed... flamboyant.

He wears rimless glasses, and he doesn't know if it's myopia or he's just trying to put on a show. His facial features are extremely delicate, and he wears a retro shirt that is worth a lot of money at first glance. He has a wide range of accessories but it's just right.

Shen Hao introduced: "This is Li Xiao, the editor-in-chief of "O", this is Li Xinghe, p... the one Bai Su mentioned."

Li Xiao stretched out his hand wearing three diamond rings, showing a somewhat seductive smile: "Hello, kid."

Li Xinghe was a little surprised by these three words, and reached out to shake his hand.

The name of "o" is even more famous than "Green Earth". It is one of the leading magazines in the domestic fashion industry, and many celebrities have used various relationships in order to go to its home.

But he is the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, what is he doing in this kind of competition?

Learning to learn different styles?Or just plain bored?

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Li." Li Xinghe said politely.

Li Xiao looked him up and down, took out a business card from his breast pocket, and handed it to him as a compliment: "This is my contact information, contact me when you are free."

His eyes are too naked, so that these words are like a domineering CEO hinting at the love he likes.

Li Xinghe froze in place.

Shen Hao immediately explained: "It's like this. The team of "o" is recruiting interns recently. If you want to learn, you can try it."

He said regretfully: "At first, Bai Ju recommended you to me, but this guy insisted on saying that you are pleasing to the eye, so he cut it off halfway."

Li Xinghe felt as if he had heard something from the Arabian Nights, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Li Xiao smiled, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, "Kid, don't doubt your ability. The fashion circle likes you for talking like you. You can say that you are dead. As for technology, I will Teach you slowly."

His tone of voice carried an irresistible sense of intimacy, which always gave people the illusion of being in an ambiguous relationship.

Li Xinghe quickly put his messy thoughts behind him, accepted his business card and said, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Li."

Internships at top fashion magazines don't happen all the time.

Even if he can't stay and work there in the end, what he learned during the internship is enough to benefit him for life.

After coming out of the venue, Li Xinghe saw Zhao Qingbei as expected.

He was talking to Bai Su, when he saw Li Xinghe coming out, he went up to meet him.

"How about it?" He stuffed a tuna sandwich into Li Xinghe's hand, "Put it on first, and I'll take you to eat delicious food later."

The sandwich burned Li Xinghe's hand like a poker.

He himself had forgotten that he didn't have lunch, but Zhao Qingbei remembered it, and it was still warm, so he ordered it immediately after seeing it.

He felt hot, smiled and gestured and said: "The third prize, [-] bonus, let me take you to eat delicious food."

Bai Su said: "The third prize is pretty good, those in front have always been professionals."

Zhao Qingbei said, "Brother, you did a great job this time. Let me invite you first and treat it as a reward for your hard work for so long."

Li Xinghe's face was slightly red, and he scratched his cheek with his fingers.

While talking, Li Xiao and Shen Hao walked inside and came out.

Seeing them standing together, the two nodded to this side.

Bai Ju said, "I'll go over and say hello to Teacher Shen."

After he walked over there, Li Xiao didn't look away, but smiled at him.

Li Xinghe was confused, and Zhao Qingbei beside him also nodded to him.

"You guys know each other?" Li Xinghe asked.

Zhao Qingbei said: "He is Jiang Yuheng's biological brother. We met at the photography... club."

Seeing that Li Xinghe's expression was still confused, he said again: "Jiang Yuheng and his brother are of the same mother and half father, so they have different surnames."

"So that's how it is." Li Xinghe suddenly realized.

Not to mention, Li Xiao's easy-going rich second-generation temperament is indeed a bit like Jiang Yuheng.

After watching the exhibition on Erlu, they went to have a meal together.

Afraid that someone would miss Li Xinghe's award, Bai Su asked Yao Sanhua to post the certificate and trophy to the campus official website during the meal break.

For a while, Li Xinghe received countless messages of congratulations.

He himself was embarrassed, a third prize was made as if he had won the first place.

It is estimated that the person who actually won the first place will not have such a big reaction.

It wasn't enough for Zhao Qingbei to invite him to finish the meal, so he planned to book the room and invite everyone to the bar.

Li Xinghe couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly found an excuse to send them away.

"I have to go back to study. I haven't done my homework for advanced mathematics." He said nonsense.

Zhao Qingbei nodded kindly, "OK, library or study room?"

Li Xinghe didn't expect him to follow up so consciously, he choked for breath, and said: "I plan to study in the dormitory, you...you go back first."

Zhao Qingbei's eyes darkened, staring at the swirling hair that he lowered his head to reveal.

After a while, Shen Sheng said "um".

Li Xinghe finally relaxed, said goodbye to them and returned to the dormitory.

After the match, he was quite sober.

When I think of Zhao Qingbei's circle of friends again, I always feel that I can't face him directly.

As soon as he stepped into the dormitory door, he heard Cao Xu talking, "Have you seen the new function of Weibo, the home page will display the IP address."

Li Xinghe's heart tightened.

Luo Ming wailed: "What, then if I look at the goddess on Weibo in the future, wouldn't it be the same as running naked!"

"Yeah, I don't even dare to comment."

Li Xinghe walked over quickly and said, "Is this display accurate?"

Cao Xu turned his head: "Wow, Brother Xing, you are back! Congratulations, our great photographer has returned in triumph!"

Li Xinghe didn't care about him, and asked, "When did the function of Weibo come out?"

"Just yesterday, the display is accurate. My homepage shows that I am in province a." Cao Xu said.

Li Xinghe picked up his phone, almost reflexively entered Patrick's homepage, and then shook his body - the ip address of his homepage actually showed Province A!

So, he is indeed in the same city as himself.

In an instant, sparks flickered in Li Xinghe's mind, passing through countless possible guesses.

Is patrick someone he knows?But why didn't he reveal his identity?

By the way, Qin Tao asked him for an autographed photo before, so he must know the source of the autographed photo!

Li Xinghe immediately went to the balcony and called Qin Tao.

The phone was cut off, and he called again, cut off again, and called again.

Qin Tao was on a date with his girlfriend, and the kiss was interrupted in the middle, and he answered angrily: "This is the third time! If you do this again, your sister-in-law will think that I have a stomach! What's the matter?"

Li Xinghe said: "You are not wilted, I will explain to my sister-in-law, none of the five girlfriends you have had said you are wilted."

"Are you sick!" Qin Tao hastily covered his phone and said to the other end, "Honey, I'm going out to answer a call...it's Xinghe, not Xiaohong and Xiaohuang...I love you, okay?"

Li Xinghe waited for him to go out, and asked impatiently: "Brother, did Patrick give you the postcard last time?"

Qin Tao was almost pissed off by him, "That's why you called me at night? Li Xinghe, you're such a crazy fan?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, answer me quickly." Li Xinghe said impatiently.

Qin Tao gasped and said, "Of course he didn't give it to me. What are you thinking about? It's Bai Su."

Like a stuck machine, Li Xinghe suddenly became quiet and murmured, "Bai Su?"

Qin Tao hummed: "I only know him in the photography club, I can't ask Mr. Zhao to go, we don't know each other well."

Li Xinghe frowned even tighter, "Zhao Qingbei also knows Patrick?"

"I don't know about that," Qin Tao said, "I only know that Bai Ju has a very good relationship with that p or something, oh yes, he actually gave me the postcard on his own initiative. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Maybe it's because he found me unhappy.

Li Xinghe had an extremely terrifying conjecture in his mind, so much so that he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

Many small pieces came together - such as the very strange expression on Zhao Qingbei's face when he first introduced Patrick to Zhao Qingbei.For example, if Zhao Qingbei asked him if Patrick signed your autograph, you would like him more.Another example is Zhao Qingbei's comment a few days ago, he said he was a little jealous.

There was a bang in Li Xinghe's ear, and the blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head.

His heartbeat suddenly changed from static to beating drums, and his limbs felt an unbearable soreness.

He tried his best to remain calm, hung up the phone, and borrowed the cold wind from the balcony to calm his mind down a bit.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately opened Patrick's Weibo and Zhao Qingbei's circle of friends.

I can't see the mobile client, it must be hidden.

The commonalities between the two became more and more obvious.

They are all freshmen, they are all in province A, they both like photography, they both love bungee jumping and skiing, they both...

Li Xinghe's gaze froze on the pictures that Patrick posted a few years ago - they all won the first prize in the National Mathematical Olympiad.

When he saw this, he calmed down quite a bit, and the speculation in his heart seemed to have come to fruition.

Gritting his teeth, he returned to the chat interface and typed angrily: 【Have you gone back to school? I think we need to meet. 】

Before the words were sent, the phone vibrated.

Caller ID is white.

Li Xinghe frowned and said, "Hey, Brother Bai."

There was a noise from the other end, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, and Bai suddenly cursed.

"Hey, Xinghe." He said with difficulty, "Are you asleep?"

"Didn't sleep, what's wrong?"

Bai Su gasped and said, "Can you come over to the playground? Lao Zhao drank too much, and I can't handle him alone. Oh, by the way, he kept yelling that he had something for you, saying that he didn't It's convenient."

Li Xinghe was taken aback, and rushed out the door, saying: "Okay, I'll go right now."
