"dad?"

Xia Xiaomu was shocked.

Did Professor Xie knock on the door himself?

But, Xia Qianbai can actually entertain guests like this?!

He remembered that last time he was so nervous that he was almost suffocated when Xia Qianbai was in front of Lu Jinghan.

Xia Xiaomu was full of doubts, but it was not easy to show it in front of Xie Wen. He hurried over and took the fruit plate from Xia Qianbai's hand and brought it to Xie Wen.

Apologized: "Professor Xie, I'm sorry, I'm having dinner with my friend, I'm late. Let's wait for you for a long time."

Xie Wen also stood up and looked helpless when she saw Xia Xiaomu: "No, it doesn't matter, you... have you had dinner? Why don't you eat together?"

"I……"

Even if I haven't eaten, I have to accompany me.

“I haven’t eaten yet.”

Xia Xiaomu was asked, and she couldn't say anything politely, so she sat over with a smile. Seeing that the food in her bowl had not moved much, she asked:

"Does my dad cook the meal to your taste?"

As soon as he asked, Xia Qianbai, who was standing at the kitchen door, immediately straightened his spine and waited nervously for Xie Wen's evaluation.

"It's pretty good, it still tastes the same." Xie Wen turned her head and asked Xia Qianbai softly: "Are you not here to come together?"

"I, I'll come now." Xia Qianbai was very panicked and walked to the dining table with his hands and feet, and sat down next to Xia Xiaomu.

Xia Xiaomu looked at him inquiring, and Xia Qianbai nodded to him, saying that it was okay.

However, after the three of them sat together, the dining table became quieter. They all looked cautious and no one dared to speak.

It would be a miracle that Xia Qianbai could sit in front of outsiders without being nervous enough to breathe rapidly.

Xie Wen is a guest, and she looks particularly reserved today.

Xia Xiaomu felt that he had to come out to ease the atmosphere and asked with a smile: "Professor Xie, have you tried the food my dad made before?"

Xie Wen: "Yes, I've tasted it."

Xie Wen was very calm when facing Xia Qianbai, but when facing Xia Xiaomu, she seemed even more nervous.

Her voice was low, just like the discussion: "Xiao Mu, don't be too polite to talk to me. Don't always call me a professor."

Xia Xiaomu: "Then, then I call you Teacher Xie? Thank you, Auntie?"

"I……"

Xie Wen glanced at Xia Qianbai, and Xia Qianbai lowered his head and said nothing.

The dining table fell into a strange silence again.

Did I say the wrong thing? Does anyone explain what happened to the two of them?

Xia Xiaomu was crazy.

No, you have to change the topic.

"Thank you..." Xia Xiaomu stopped talking.

What's the point of calling her?!

Xia Xiaomu was about to skip the name directly, smirked and concealed her embarrassment: "By the way, do you also think there is something wrong with Teacher Zhou's "Oasis"?"

Xie Wen nodded: "That work was painted by your father."

Xia Xiaomu exclaimed: "You know indeed. Actually, Brother Jing Han and I are now looking for Zhou Tingsheng to use the work of someone and give us the evidence of our own name to seek profit."

Xia Qianbai: "...Mu Mu, forget it, after all, I sold the painting to him. And I said nothing and caused trouble. Let's go through this."

Xia Xiaomu: "I wanted to forget it, but now I found out that he not only used your works to make profits, but also stole the research results of his students and his paintings, and shamelessly put his name on his own to increase his qualifications. Such people have no teacher ethics and are not worthy of being a role model. If they don't teach him a lesson, they will still be harmed by him in the future."

Now even if there is one more person, if you stand up and point out that the painting is painted by Xia Qianbai, you will have one more person testimonial. Xie Wen's status is enough to make more people believe that the work was painted by Xia Qianbai.

It depends on whether Xie Wen is willing or not.

Xia Xiaomu looked at Xie Wen and asked slightly tentatively: "Can you..."

Xia Qianbai saw his intention and immediately warned him: "Mu Mu, don't cause trouble for Xie...Professor Xie."

Xie Wen smiled: "Please? You are still like this, and you think everything is troublesome, so you have reached this age and rely on Xiao Mu to hold an art exhibition for you to stand up for you.

What have you done over the years? If you are sick, you will not be treated and give up on yourself. You will also make Xiao Mu suffer with you, and you can only go to school by applying for scholarships. Poor students who are so difficult that they can't afford to eat..."

Xie Wen became more and more excited the more she spoke.

It sounds like blame, or resentment.

After all, it was his father. Xia Xiaomu was still uncomfortable when he was scolded by outsiders. He explained: "Professor Xie, my father, he has a reason..."

Xia Qianbai immediately interrupted him: "Mu Mu, don't talk!"

Xia Xiaomu:...

Don't let someone talk for you.

I just want to be scolded!

Xie Wen realized her loss of composure, and she took a deep breath and adjusted her tone: "I have evidence in my hand, which is enough to prove that the painting "Oasis" was painted by you. Do you still have to calm down?"

Xia Xiaomu was happy and waited for Xia Qianbai to answer: "What evidence do you have?"

When Xie Wen talked to Xia Xiaomu, her tone immediately became softer: "It's a video file. I'll send it to you when I go home. What are you going to do?"

"Brother Jing Han is also helping me collect other evidence from him. I think this kind of thing will be slower through the law. It is better to send it out together through the Internet and let public opinion convict him."

Xie Wen: "Do you need my help?"

Xia Xiaomu: "Maybe in the end, you need to say something, just say "Oasis" was painted by my father. After all, what you said is very important. Is it OK?"

Xie Wen smiled and said, "No problem."

He looked at Xia Qianbai again: "Where are you?"

Xia Qianbai rubbed his hands together at a loss and said worriedly: "I am just... afraid that he will cause trouble for Mu Mu. I am afraid that he will hurt Mu Mu."

"No!"

Xia Xiaomu understood Xia Qianbai's worries. It turned out that the world had experienced it, which made him understand this lonely and helpless helplessness better than anyone else.

He held Xia Qianbai's hand: "Dad, with Brother Jing Han helping us, and Professor Xie testified for us, Zhou Tingsheng is not afraid at all. Don't worry, he can't harm me.

Moreover, Zhou Tingsheng was even more afraid of that, otherwise he would not have seen your work take off so quickly after it was exhibited."

Xia Qianbai looked at Xie Wen, then Xia Xiaomu, and finally nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Because of this incident, the three of them reached a consensus, and the atmosphere became much better afterwards. Basically, Xie Wen and Xia Xiaomu talked about school, friends, and class again.

During the conversation, Lu Jinghan was also chatting for a while. Xia Xiaomu did not avoid her, but was slightly embarrassed about the relationship between Xie Wen and Xie Weiwan.

Xia Qianbai didn't say anything, and kept serving soup and adding vegetables to the two of them. In addition, Xia Qianbai's craftsmanship was indeed good. The two of them ate slowly from the beginning, but in the end they couldn't stop chopsticks. They were even harmonious.

Moreover, when Xie Wen talked to him, she accidentally burped and immediately covered her mouth and smiled embarrassedly.

Before I knew it, I actually ate and chatted until after ten o'clock in the evening.

Xie Wen saw it too late, so she said goodbye to Xia Xiaomu.

After she left, Xia Xiaomu immediately asked Xia Qianbai in surprise: "Dad, why did Professor Xie come to the house?

Have you recovered from illness? Can you sit with someone other than me? Haven’t you started seeing a doctor yet?"

"She rang the doorbell and I'll come in for her."

Xia Qianbai's voice trembled when he spoke.

Xia Xiaomu then realized that his hands were shaking slightly. When he touched his body, the clothes inside were completely wet.

It turned out that it was to entertain Xie Wen and was always patient.

Xia Xiaomu immediately felt distressed and blamed herself, all because she had drunk alcohol during the day and forgot about it all. She was the only one who had let Xia Qianbai treat Xie Wen alone for so long.

He helped Xia Qianbai walk upstairs: "Dad, go and rest quickly, I'll clean the kitchen. Do I want me to make tea for you Anshen?"

Xia Xiaomu packed up the kitchen and when he returned to his room, he saw the email from Xie Wen, with a video file.

He quickly turned on the computer and clicked on the video.

The video was displayed twenty years ago and dated on July 21st.

The picture quality is not very clear, but you can see the magnificent environment around you. Under the azure and cloudless sky, there is an endless golden desert with high and low rises and lows.

In the desert, a man with long hair stood in front of the drawing board to draw. The wind blew slightly, and a few strands of long hair floated up in his ears, revealing some side faces. It was vaguely visible that it was Xia Qianbai, who was young.

The painting board is a real scene restoration of the desert world around it, and the highlight is that there is a clear spring not far away.

Isn’t this the prototype of “Oasis”?

Xia Xiaomu almost jumped up in surprise, and Xia Qianbai personally drew the video of "Oasis"! This is simply a proof of being nailed.

Who is shooting this video? Twenty years ago, could Xia Qianbai be able to stand being so close to others?
