Su Weiyi didn’t know how Sheng Yanxiao got there. She had just sat down in the apartment, feeling like she hadn’t been there long when Sheng Yanxiao arrived, carrying a small cake and two cups of milk tea in his hands.

He was slightly out of breath, as if he had run a long way.

The redness in Su Weiyi’s eyes had already faded. She was not someone who cried easily, and besides, crying wouldn’t help.

Sheng Yanxiao placed the cake and milk tea on the coffee table, then sat down next to Su Weiyi. "What’s exactly going on?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Over the phone, Su Weiyi had only mentioned that her artwork draft was missing, and it was due tomorrow. Now, someone had taken it.

Sheng Yanxiao knew about Su Weiyi entering the competition, and he knew how much effort she had put into it.

Sheng Yanxiao furrowed his brows, but Su Weiyi remained calm. "I know who took it, but there’s no evidence."

"Who?"

"The former roommate."

There was a flash of cold light in Sheng Yanxiao’s eyes. "I’ll help you."

The young man’s determined voice sounded, and Su Weiyi quickly stopped him.

In fact, she had just figured out that it wouldn’t be difficult to make Zhang Ziyu confess and return her artwork. All she needed was the Sheng Family to put pressure on her. Zhang Ziyu’s family was well-off, but still not comparable to the Sheng Family.

However, Su Weiyi disliked the feeling of using her background to pressure others, even though it wasn’t her fault in this matter. She still didn’t like it. She didn’t want to constantly wear the halo of the Sheng Family’s lady.

Moreover, now she preferred her role as the girlfriend of the Sheng Family’s young master rather than the heiress of the Sheng Family.

"I signed up for the competition to see my own level. Only five people in the entire school would be selected. There’s no need to trouble my parents over this."

Sheng Yanxiao looked at her with furrowed brows. He had always been proud and never liked to use his status to pressure others as well.

Of course, Sheng Yanxiao’s thoughts were different from Su Weiyi’s.

He simply felt that being a man meant having a man’s responsibility, and not always hiding behind the "young master of the Sheng Family" halo. Otherwise, it would seem like without that halo, he was nothing.

But the situation wasn’t urgent now, was it?

Sheng Yanxiao looked at Su Weiyi, paused for a moment, "Can you start over and finish in time?"

Su Weiyi shook her head. It was impossible. Her original concept was extensive and required meticulous detail to convey the feeling. She had spent quite some time on it, and with the deadline tomorrow, she couldn’t finish even if she worked all night.

"No, what I mean is, create another piece, forget about the previous one. I remember you have many drafts from before."

This was the first solution that came to Sheng Yanxiao’s mind when he received Su Weiyi’s call.

When something goes wrong, the most rational people always think of solutions first, and then look for responsibility.

Su Weiyi was taken aback upon hearing Sheng Yanxiao’s words. She was only thinking about how it was too late to redraw and hadn’t considered this option. She was truly mad, just thinking of giving up.

Su Weiyi’s eyes lit up, and she nodded. "Alright, I’ll give it a try."

As someone who loved to draw, Su Weiyi never picked up the pen just to meet deadlines for assignments. She often drew when inspiration struck, and some were completed while others remained as sketches.
