"I didn't expect her to use it directly."

"But you know very well..."

"Those files are not yours."

"We've always used it together."

"So..."

"You think my things are also yours?"

He choked on his words. In his previous life, after getting married... He was always like that. He can freely bring my manuscript to Duong An. My studio, he can also let Duong An use it. Even the plan that I stayed up all night to complete... When it was time to sign, he could have added Duong An's name. We are husband and wife. So he automatically thinks... Everything that belongs to me... Naturally belongs to him. But... His phone. His time. His bias. Or his secrets. I was never allowed to touch anything. I turned off the computer.

"Later..."

"Don't touch my files anymore."

"The part of the work belongs to me in 《Little Light in the Old Town》..."

"I won't give it to you either."

Chau Nghien Xuyen laughed coldly.

"Do you think I wouldn't be able to do it without you?"

"That's good."

I put my backpack on my shoulder.

"I wish you the best."

When I walked out of the drawing room, Duong An was standing at the top of the stairs. Her eyes were red. Apparently he had heard the entire argument between us just now. As she passed by, she suddenly grabbed my wrist.

"Van Kieu."

"I really didn't mean it."

"Mr. Nghien Xuyen just told me to refer to it."

"I didn't expect it to be so similar."

"Can you help me talk to Ms. Trinh?"

I pushed her hand away.

"Cannot."

Duong An's tears fell again.

"You already have a certificate of passing Nam Dinh's aptitude test."

"This nomination is not important to you."

"Then why do you insist on forcing me?"

I stopped walking. Turn your head to look at her.

"Duong An."

"The person who canceled your status..."

"It's the school."

"A person who uses someone else's work..."

"The person who gave you the file..."

"It's Chau Nghien Xuyen."

"If you want to cry..."

"You just go find him."

"Don't hold me responsible."

Having finished speaking, I walked straight downstairs. Behind him, Chau Nghien Xuyen's voice was quickly heard, gently comforting Duong An. I never turned around. That afternoon, the school set up a temporary appraisal team. I submitted the full certificate of winning the award from two years ago, sketchbook, original layered file and all archived emails. Duong An also submitted his creative documents. But she only had three sketches. The first version is also a completely different layout. Coming to the second version... Suddenly, the same character pose as 《Migratory Bird Season》 appeared. The third version... Has almost coincided with the current work. In between there is absolutely no development of ideas whatsoever. The teachers asked why the style changed so much. Duong An just replied that... She suddenly had inspiration. Ms. Trinh Thanh Lam did not object. Just quietly ask the technical teacher to compare all file data. In the original file that Duong An submitted, the teacher restored two deleted layers. Even the layer name has never been changed. 【Van Kieu - Character Edit 2】 【Van Kieu - Old version of the railway】 The appraisal results were quickly announced. Duong An's work was determined to be used improperly the creative work of others. The school revoked her eligibility to be nominated for this year's Graduation Exhibition. However, the school did not record the violation in the record, and still allowed her to redraw an independent work to participate in the regular exhibition area. That was the biggest concession. As soon as the results were announced, Duong An burst into tears and ran out of the office. Chau Nghien Xuyen immediately chased after him. From beginning to end... He never looked at me once. I don't care either. What really surprised me was that that night, a few photos suddenly appeared in the class chat group. In the photo, Chau Nghien Xuyen stands on the terrace of the old school building. Duong An leaned on his lap. His hand covered her hand holding the brush. The two of them also wore the same large uniform shirt. Time taken... It was last night. Right below there is also a screenshot of the conversation with the beginning cut off. Duong An: 【Does Van Kieu really hate you?】 Chau Nghien Xuyen: 【It's just that her family spoiled her. It will be fine in a few days.】 Duong An: 【What if she never accepts me?】 Chau Nghien Xuyen: 【Not going to happen. She couldn't bear to leave him.】 The chat was quickly withdrawn. But the group was absolutely blown away. Someone asked me if it was because of jealousy that Duong An and Chau Nghien Xuyen were so close that they denounced her work. Some people also say that the two families are about to get engaged, but Duong An still clings to Chau Nghien Xuyen every day, which is really inappropriate. But most are still advice I should ignore. 【They're all classmates, there's no need to do everything to such an extreme level.】 【Duong An's family conditions are also normal, the graduation exhibition nomination is very important to him.】 【Anyway, Van Kieu has already passed Nam Dinh's aptitude test, missing one work won't have any effect.】
