Painting Boat Hall: Yeah.

Call me Little Moji: Did the editor win the lottery?

Porridge with Erguotou: Hmm?Leng Qing and Ming Yue are together? 【rainbow】

Makino under the moonlight: Going upstairs, Mingyue only cps with Shu Mu!

Huazhoutang replied with porridge and Erguotou: tui!

Huazhoutang replied to Makino under the moonlight: tui!

A Flower in the Northeast: Xiaobian, why are you spitting? ? ?Straight man hammer.

Falling into the Water: Curious who the editor really is, could it be Wang Yuanqi?

The round belly returned to the falling water sky: nonsense.

"Stop playing," Jian Qiao said, "Aren't we going to celebrate today?"

"Yes!" Gu Yu threw away his phone and shouted, "Congratulations to my score of 97 in the fourth exam today!"

Jian Qiao had no choice but to smile: "I just finished the test, how do you know that I got 97 points?"

"Guess," Gu Yu replied, "Two questions were wrong, maybe 97."

Jian Qiao cleared his throat, and sat next to him: "You never thought about what day is today?"

Gu Yu took a sip of Coke, bit the bottle, and looked up at him: "Today is the anniversary of your love for me."

Jian Qiao: "Get lost."

Gu Yu: "Every day you love me, I will engrave it in my heart as a memorial."

Jian Qiao: "It started again?"

"I'm serious~" Gu Yu started acting like a demon again, reaching out to touch his back. In the early summer, he didn't wear much, just a thin T-shirt. His fingertips ran across his back, bringing warmth and adding two points of fascination smell.

Jian Qiao glared at him, snatched the soda in his hand and took a sip.

"Jian Qiaoqiao," Gu Yu said suddenly, "Let's get married!"

Jian Qiao turned his head and coughed violently.

Gu Yu patted Jian Qiao on the back, still looking at him, and asked in a questioning manner, "Huh?"

"Ahem..." Jian Qiao came over slowly and asked him, "How old are you?"

"Twenty," Gu Yu tilted his head and smiled brightly, "I'm twenty."

Jian Qiao nodded.

"I can get married right away, I want a golden house to hide my beauty, and lock you at home." Gu Yu grinned.

Jian Qiao didn't know what to say about him, so he had to change the subject: "Will Guan Xiaoli hand in the work tomorrow?"

"Well, the workers and masters took over and arranged it." Gu Yu replied.

But on the second day, Gu Yu woke up early, remembering that Guan Xiaoli was exhausted during this time, so she got up silently and went out instead of him.

He came to the preparation room of the exhibition hall together with the delivery masters. All the works were placed on the table, and they had not been framed and hung on the wall. So far, he has received five works, all of which are amazing.But when it comes to who's work is the most amazing, Gu Yu thinks it must be Jian Qiao's "Fire-Old Memories". Whenever he sees it, he feels his heart tighten.

In the picture scroll, the flames are blazing, the raging fire is blazing endlessly, and the scattered sparks are mixed with the blackened ashes floating in the air, floating, looking for, homeless, overlooking the earth.The sky was dyed a flushed red, and the setting sun hung like blood in the distant horizon.The ground is in a mess and the houses are dilapidated.

In the fire, everyone’s face was smiling, and they were doing their own things—the old man was choosing vegetables at the door, the children were jumping rubber bands in the alleyway, the man selling popsicles had a gray towel around his neck, and the old man on a tricycle was struggling to stand up. The uncle smiled and greeted the woman holding the baby on the side of the road...

At the other end of the alleyway, huge flames rushed like poisonous snakes, and were about to sweep the entire land.

In the flames, there are faintly hidden smiling faces of many people, simple and unadorned, clear and untainted, and even the clear laughter can be felt.

This is a story of a fire that swept across the world. In this accident, the sincere smiling faces of countless people were buried.

Originally, such a subject matter is more suitable to be represented by oil painting, but Jianqiao used traditional Chinese painting to skillfully express the overall darkness.Everything, be it the fire, the characters, or the alleys, are naturally shrouded in a gray mist, which dilutes the original brilliance of the work, but adds more flavor of time, as if being covered Dust, silently looking at the other end of the long river of time.

Gu Yu finally understood why Jian Qiao had been depressed for the past few months, had no interest in anything, didn't even want to eat, and was always locked in the room alone, with red eyes and a dazed expression. If you are absent-minded, you are missing something.

He is a young artist who perceives everything that moves him.

The exhibition hall has not been furnished yet. In addition to the works, there are also some related preparation materials in this storage room, which smells like a mixture of paint and ink.Gu Yu admired it silently for a while, and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and his face changed instantly.

"Who are you?" Gu Yu asked arrogantly.

The visitor was even more arrogant, and smiled coldly: "Didn't you check everything, and you don't know who I am?"

Gu Yu also smiled coldly, closed the door, and didn't bother to make trouble with him.Qi Zirui put his hand against the door and stared straight at him.

"Bring me to dinner, it's noon," Qi Zirui said, "I have something to tell you."

"Why?" Gu Yu was dissatisfied.

"I don't have any money, so I can only ask you." Qi Zirui replied.

Regarding the matter of Gu Yu asking Lu Xun to investigate him, he was sneaky and guilty, so he had to agree to him.The workers and masters were still busy when they left, and today he was helping to look after the venue, so Gu Yu had no choice but to quickly finish his meal before returning to lock the door.

At the dinner table, the two looked at each other awkwardly.

Qi Zirui stared at him curiously: "What do you see me doing?"

Gu Yu didn't hesitate to snap back: "Look at mine first!"

Qi Zirui tapped the table with his fingertips, still staring at him intently: "Why are you checking me?"

Do you need any reason to investigate him?From the very beginning, he and Qi Zirui were not on the same side. As long as Qi Zirui did anything that might hurt the people he cared about, of course he would complain.But if he knew that he was being checked by someone he didn't know well, he would probably jump three feet high like a thunder.

"How do you know?" Gu Yu didn't answer, but asked first.He felt that with Lu Xun's ability, Qi Zirui should not be able to know about it.

"You don't care how I know," Qi Zirui didn't answer, but asked, "Why are you checking me?"

"I was wrong!" Gu Yu knew he was wrong, so he took a step back, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Qi Zirui sneered: "I finally know why Jian Qiao is so fascinated by you."

"That's it," Gu Yu said with a high air, "I'm too charming, everyone likes me. Hurry up and eat, I have to go back and lock the door."

"It doesn't matter to me whether you investigate me or not," Qi Zirui raised his eyes and stared straight at him, "I just think, since you have such a relationship and means, why don't you investigate the person who really needs to be found? "

Gu Yu held the chopsticks, paused with his fingertips, and looked up at him; "Huh?"

After dinner, Qi Zirui proposed to see Jian Qiao's paintings, so Gu Yu took him to the exhibition hall.The journey wasn't too long, but it was awkward and awkward as we kept walking and had nothing to talk to Qi Zirui.It's better to be Jian Qiao, even if you don't say a word when you're with him, it's natural and pleasant.

Gu Yu opened the door of the storage room, and there was a figure standing in front of the painting with his back to the door.

"Xu Manyi?" Gu Yu quickly recognized her, "Why are you here?"

"Gu Yu, this painting," Xu Manyi turned around, pointing at the work behind him that is still shocking at a glance, his voice trembling almost uncontrollably, "Can we not exhibit it?"

Gu Yu only thought she was joking, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Of course not. What, after reading it, you feel that the painting is too good, so you feel guilty?"

Xu Manyi looked at him earnestly: "I bought this painting, can I not exhibit it?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Gu Yu couldn't figure it out, "This is Jianqiao's hard work for several months, and it's not just for money. Don't worry, you are not bad, don't be unconfident."

"No, why don't you ask Jian Qiao, I will try my best to get as high a price as I can, as long as I don't make it public," Xu Manyi said, "Please, okay?"

Gu Yu took a step back and frowned.

When he first entered the door, he felt that there was something wrong with her, and he was only joking, but when she said "please", he was choked up and didn't know what to say.

"...Sorry, no," Gu Yu shook his head again and again, "No matter what your reasons are, you can't."

The two were in a stalemate, Xu Manyi still refused to let go, and repeatedly begged him not to exhibit it, Gu Yu didn't understand why she was targeting this painting like this, Gu Qianfan, Uncle Huai Ling, Leng Qing, Shu Mu...they Every picture that was handed over was amazing. She and Jian Qiao basically had nothing to do with each other in their lives, so why should they ask to erase Jian Qiao's day and night efforts?

Gu Yu turned sideways: "I'm sorry, you should go out, I'm going to lock the door."

Xu Manyi stretched out his hand to block the painting: "No! No matter what, I won't let the public see this painting!"

Gu Yu was also a little annoyed, and tried hard not to lose his temper in front of girls: "...Listen to me, I know that some practices in the circle are not clean, but you have a bright future at such a young age, how can you do such a thing? Besides, I Here, no one can mess around!"

Qi Zirui stood behind, as if he was watching the fun, without saying a word.

"Masquerade?" Xu Manyi's eyes were red, as if he had heard a big joke, "Who the hell is messing around? Jian Qiao can draw anything, why did he draw this! Do I have to wait for everyone to see it? , everyone kept asking what is this?!"

Gu Yu also almost lost control, and retorted excitedly: "Jian Qiao is free to paint, and what position do you have to question him? Please go out!"

Xu Manyi stepped forward, grabbed his coat firmly, put down his pride and begged bitterly, tears welled up in an instant: "Gu Yu, I beg you, please help me persuade Jian Qiao to take it back Well, I don't have to exhibit, I will pay the liquidated damages, can you..."

"I'm sorry, no, no, it's useless to beg me." Seeing her crying in front of him, Gu Yu was at a loss, but what could he do?Can her begging and a few tears be worth everything Jian Qiao has paid?How can there be such an unfair transaction in the world?

Xu Manyi was still tugging on him until his fingertips turned white, and asked almost losing his mind: "Have you ever thought that when the media and the public saw this painting, Jian Qiao stole the limelight?" , he is a genius and a future artist, but what about Mr. Chen? Everything he wants to forget in incognito is being brought up again, why? You tell me why?"

"Uncle Huai Ling told him what Jianqiao drew. Let go of it and open your heart. What are you afraid of?" Gu Yu pushed her away with a little force, "Everyone is the same. Opportunities can be close to dreams, even if you can reach out a little, can you guarantee that if you miss this opportunity, there will be another one? I saw him give so much, why do you ask me to be generous?"

Xu Manyi stared at him with red eyes, nodded, murmured "OK", bent over to pick up a scrap of the picture frame, and rushed to the picture.

Gu Yu followed immediately, and at the moment he held her, when he raised his eyes, there was already a scratch on the painting.

A long scratch slanting downwards, running through the picture, as if venting.

The author has something to say: Yay!I've thought about the title and I've been revising it for a few days, "Embracing the Moon in Your Arms".

This name was used by Gu Yu later when he started his own business, so it doesn't matter if it spoils it.

PS Every time I think about the screen names of netizens, I scratch my head. This time I simply borrowed the account names of a few readers. Thank you, hehe~ If you don’t mind, I will use it next time (once and for all...
