I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 761: Ride the Dreams, Do Not Waste Youth 3

Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Ride the Dreams, Do Not Waste Youth 3
The pendant features a circular ring design, simple yet grand, engraved with a circle of beautiful patterns.
In the middle of the decoration is a vividly lifelike Pegasus, with a pair of holy white wings, the posture brimming with spirituality and dynamism.
In every aspect, whether it be layout, design, color matching, or artistic foundation... it completely surpasses Lu Jinjin!
Upon seeing Ning Xixi’s work, Lu Qinghe despairingly closed her eyes.
She shouldn’t have let Lu Jinjin compete with Ning Xixi!
Song Zhiyang adjusted his glasses and spoke unhurriedly, "Next, I would like to invite both designers to expound upon their design concepts."
The thing about design concepts is that they are embellishments designers add to their own works.
Some designs might look very ordinary at first glance, but once the designer imbues it with either a profound or wonderful meaning, some can even double in value.
Lu Jinjin was the first to go.
She hemmed and hawed for a long time but couldn’t articulate anything meaningful.
Because she didn’t understand at all what a design concept is! She had only drawn the roses she practiced.
It could be said that her drawing was just that, a drawing, and not a design!
When it was Ning Xixi’s turn, she took the microphone from Song Zhiyang, exchanged a glance with Ji Yebai, and beamed sweetly.
Ji Yebai gnashed his teeth.
You little punk! Who gave her permission to smile so prettily? Does she not know how many men coveting her would be watching?!
And she was smiling at him, deliberately provoking him, wasn’t she?
After the competition, he would definitely pin her against the wall and kiss her thoroughly!
Her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, soft and glutinous, as she recounted her thoughts:
"Dreams are a somewhat abstract theme, because they are ethereal and cannot be grasped in our hands or seen with our eyes. They dwell in everyone’s heart and mind. To describe this theme, I thought of eight words."
"Oh, what are they?" The artist who was harsh with Lu Jinjin earlier now showed great interest.
Ning Xixi spoke clearly and resonantly: "—— Pursue dreams as your steed; do not waste your prime."
In an instant, these eight words shook the entire audience!
Some people, who had been prejudiced against Ning Xixi due to Lu Qinghe’s words, now began to seriously regard her work and her as a person.
"Some people have grand dreams; my dream is small. I want to live a plain and simple life, with healthy parents, a loving partner to age with, a dog... uh, better make it a cat, since he, that one at home, is a bit scared of hamsters. With a cat catching mice, he won’t be frightened anymore."
Ning Xixi’s eyes gleamed brilliantly, her smile as bright as the spring sunshine:
"This Pegasus carries my modest dream, just like the merry-go-round in the amusement park from my childhood, evoking the initial feelings of warmth, cheerfulness, and happiness. The merry-go-round with wings, carrying the dreams of all of us, even if, even if the dreams cannot be fulfilled, the Pegasus will take them far away. Thank you everyone, this concludes my speech."
First it was the artist, followed by the designers, and finally, the entire audience applauded for Ning Xixi’s design!
"So, as to who is the victor between the two, there’s no need for a reveal, right?" Song Zhiyang said, quite "understandingly".
"No need! It’s clear one is street stall goods and the other haute couture; there’s not even a hint of suspense!"
"Hahaha, that’s true!"
"Is that the level of Lu Jinjin? Then her ’Shao Hua’ series is indeed very intriguing..."
One after another, meaningful gazes were all directed at—Lu Jinjin!
