Chapter 172 The Contest between Red and Black

Chen Xiaonian, who was extremely sleepy, had a dream. He was in a pitch-black void that could not be reached at a glance. It was very quiet here, not a sound could be heard, and no one could make any sound. He was running around in panic, and the boundless darkness made him feel uncomfortable.

The fear in her heart magnified infinitely. She couldn't feel the cold, but her body was trembling involuntarily. Looking down, she suddenly realized that there was also a dark void beneath her feet.

People are always afraid of the unknown, just like Chen Xiaonian now. She didn't dare to move another step, and even her breathing became cautious, for fear that she would fall into an abyss with no bottom in the next moment.

Even though you know you are in a dream, you are afraid of this emotion and will not let you go.

Wake up quickly! Wake up quickly!

Chen Xiaonian could not open her mouth and could only recite silently in her heart, but it had no effect. Moreover, she also discovered a terrifying thing. In this space, all her senses except vision disappeared. She took a deep breath to steady her heartbeat, and in her heart

Keep telling yourself that this is just a nightmare. You step forward tentatively, feeling a sense of unreliability spread from your toes to every corner of your body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Xiaonian was no longer afraid of the emptiness under her feet. She looked around blankly, not knowing how to wake up from this weird dream. After she looked around again, she saw a faint figure directly in front of her.

An object appeared. This was the first object she saw here besides pitch black. Although seeing something else in complete darkness was very strange in itself, Chen Xiaonian could not care less. She walked over quickly.

,Fortunately, there is no situation where one moves forward and the other moves backward.

This was a huge object covered with cloth. Chen Xiaonian reached out and pulled off the cloth. She had a feeling in her heart that this object might bring her a lot of inspiration. When she saw it clearly, she was so scared that she took a few steps back.

, I saw a black skeleton hand floating in the air in a dying posture, with several rose vines twining around it and a beautiful blood-like rose bloomed on it. It was trying to stretch upward, as if unwilling to accept the pain, the hand fell together.

abyss.

Can he see colors? Chen Xiaonian looked around and realized that the surroundings had turned from darkness to light at some point. It was the kind of brightness that was so dazzling that it was difficult to see the environment. She turned around to observe the skull and rose carefully, but they fell down as soon as they were in the air.

.

"Niannian! Niannian!"

Lin Qi, who was awakened by the shouts of the people around him, gently called his wife's name. Chen Xiaonian, who had not yet woken up, felt that she was falling continuously, as if she would never fall to the bottom. Just when she was at a loss.

, a gentle and watery voice came from all directions, and then she felt like she had fallen into a warm place. When she opened her eyes, her heart, which had been wandering since the beginning, finally calmed down.

"Nian Nian, are you having a nightmare?"

Lin Qi looked worried, and his wife's face was a little pale, probably because she was frightened. Chen Xiaonian raised a smile and moved closer to his arms. The man's solid chest gave him an infinite sense of security.

"I'm fine. I'm going to take a shower. You go to sleep first."

Chen Xiaonian gritted her teeth and moved stubbornly to the bedside, still thinking about the scene in her dream. She didn't notice that she had reached the bedside, and fell to the ground as soon as her hands were free. Fortunately, Lin Qi acted quickly, and before she came into close contact with the ground,

With a long arm, he pulled the person back.

"Nian Nian has been working hard for half the night, so she should do the bathing for her husband!"

The tail note rose, and the corners of his eyes and brows were filled with pride. Seeing that he was acting restlessly, he deliberately showed a pitiful expression to show the marks on his body. This trick was used repeatedly, and Lin Qi had a dark face throughout the whole process.

The first thing Chen Xiaonian did when he got back to bed was to wrap himself up tightly with a quilt. Lin Qi stayed in there for another twenty minutes before coming out. He saw the little girl with a proud look on her face, as if to say, look, you are still here.

Don't you dare? He strode onto the bed and was locked into his arms, his deep voice filled with sleepiness.

"Nian Nian, be good, let's stop making trouble and go to sleep."

Chen Xiaonian, who was not going to let go of her man easily, squirmed a few times and changed into a comfortable position. She looked up and saw the green color in the man's eyes. Heartache lingered in her chest for thousands of times. She stopped thinking as she continued to tease her. Suddenly she remembered

From the scene I saw when I made a video with him before, I was obviously very busy, but I still took the time to take a look at her from time to time. If I missed the video one day, I had to catch up even if it was late at night in China.

He once said that if he didn't look at her for a day, he would miss her. At that time, he laughed at his exaggeration, but now that he looked carefully at his features, it seemed that he was really thin. Chen Xiaonian's eyes were sore, this guy was in China

She would definitely not be able to eat well without her own supervision. Suddenly, a picture of her man holding a Q version of Chen Xiaonian pillow with his eyes open from dusk to dawn popped up in her mind. This was Lin Pengyuan popping up and starting to cause trouble. The two of them were separated.

what happened during that time.

Lin Qi came back from a social gathering that day. He was so drunk that he hugged her and refused to let go. He kept talking about how much he loved her and hoped that Chen Xiaonian would feel sorry for him and stay by his side obediently and not leave.

I still remember that the moonlight was like water that day, and the whole person was a little hazy when it shone on his body, which made me feel that this man was unreal. His arms, as solid as iron, hugged her tightly, and the strength was so strong that she felt

His waist would be broken like this. But in the next moment, the strong force disappeared without a trace, replaced by a gentle caress.

When their eyes met, I looked at his clear eyes as if I had returned to the moment when they first met when they were children. The same bright eyes held an incomprehensible sadness. If at that time he was sad because of conflicts with his family

, what is he doing now? This incomprehensible emotion has been lingering in my heart. I want to ask but don’t know where to start, so I can only suppress it and not think about it.

"Nian Nian, I really want to turn you into a small person and carry you with me everywhere, so that my fear of losing you can be relieved a little."

Lin Qi hugged her and said a lot, all of which he didn't understand. Of course, it also included the things that kept him awake all night when the two separated.

"Before, when you were at home, night was my favorite and most anticipated time. But when I was alone, the inexplicable emptiness and fear could completely overwhelm me."

He placed a gentle kiss on his lips and continued: "I don't know where that fear comes from. It seems to have started when you were still in the hospital after giving birth to Xiao Linnian."

The dusty memories were brought up again, and Lin Qi clearly remembered that it was the night of the third day after his Niannian gave birth to a child. He was lying on the sofa outside to rest, and a clear man's voice sounded in his ears while he was sleepy:

"When will he wake up?"

The sound was insubstantial, near and far away. When he woke up, he didn't see anyone else in the room except himself. However, the sound was so real that he seemed to feel the sound in his ears.

The warm breath of that person sounded. Until I saw

Chen Xiaonian, mother and son, who were sleeping soundly, felt at ease. But from that day on, I always felt that I was living in a dream, and everyone and everything I looked at seemed to be illusory.

Only by holding Nian Nian and feeling her presence can you be sure that you are still alive.

"Nian Nian, you will always be by my side, right?"

Lin Qi repeated it in Chen Xiaonian's ear, and the recollection just now gave him an unreal and illusory feeling. Until he heard the sincere response from the person in his arms over and over again, the drunken man finally relaxed his body and mind.

Chen Xiaonian thought about the past, her mind gradually became confused, and she fell asleep in her man's arms. Where did his fear and anxiety come from? This was the last thing before her consciousness disappeared.

idea.

As expected, Chen Xiaonian was late the next day. She didn't notice that Aaliyah, who was never late, did not show up at the company today. With yesterday's dream reminder, she sat in her seat and wrote as if she was in a trance. However,

Within an hour, an armband suddenly appeared on the manuscript paper. The black skeleton hand was wrapped with a rose that wanted to be separated from it. The bright red petals and green branches and leaves were all struggling to explore the light that represented life.

go.

Chen Xiaonian was overjoyed when she looked at the completed first draft, but she never realized that Emil had been standing behind her for a long time. The battle between red and black, she nodded in affirmation of this novel idea.

"Mr. Emil!"

Chen Xiaonian stood up and wanted to move around, but was startled by the instructor behind her. She held her pounding heart and looked like she was having a heart attack. However, she was indeed frightened. Anyone who had just concentrated on

No one in the state can withstand such a fright.

"I thought you would design it as a ring or bracelet."

Chen Xiaonian shook her head and said: "The rings or bracelets are too small and do not match the broad theme of life and death. The armband is of the right size and can directly express the theme without being too ostentatious."

"Then where do you get your inspiration?"

For Westerners, no matter what kind of design, it is very important to directly express the theme. And inspiration is the soul of it. A random pile of objects cannot be called art.

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaonian felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually, this inspiration came from a dream I had yesterday."

The unique reserve of Eastern people was perfectly displayed in Chen Xiaonian at this time. He didn't believe this absurd statement. But Emil nodded repeatedly. As a designer, the most important thing is to be bold.

Imagination, and dreaming is also a form of expressing imagination.

"However, I think it would be better to change the fingertips!"

Emil leaned down and changed the details with his own hands. The tips of the skull fingers that would have been tightly attached to the arm were slightly pointing in the direction of the rose. Being dead was its helplessness, but it did not hinder its desire to live.

Chen Xiaonian couldn't help but sigh at how powerful Emil is. He is worthy of being the boss of Keynes's design department. He really has two brushes on his body. This small change brings the whole work to life, allowing people to see life and death at a glance.

It's a dead-end joint withdrawal without feeling cold and stiff.

"You have passed this time, keep up the good work!"

Chen Xiaonian was dumbfounded. He just passed the test like this? His part-time job seemed like a dream. He only excitedly took out his mobile phone to share the joy with his man, but he forgot that he was still at work and could not handle personal matters.
