poorer than

"What are you afraid of?"

He thought that what Wei Wei said didn't seem impossible, just like yesterday's behavior of grabbing himself and hitting the wall, it wasn't something a normal person would do, even if he lost control of his emotions, it shouldn't be like that.

Xia Xingche walked up to him and knelt down, then looked up at him, his eyes were reddish and filled with emotion that he had not revealed for a long time: "I didn't dare to go in at that time, you kept calling me but I still didn't dare to move .”

"You're dizzy, I know."

What seemed to be an inadvertent sentence made Xia Xingche's heart rippling, as if something that he humbled and prayed for suddenly sprouted in the depths of his heart, and his eyes were dyed with light.

"I don't blame you for what happened when I was a child, because you are innocent. But I will definitely not forgive you for burning my studio and hurting me, because there is no legitimate reason for your injury."

Anyway, he will continue to draw whatever he says, and no one can stop him this time.

"Brother, I admit that I didn't burn down the studio. The air conditioner caught fire in the studio. I took out all your paintings."

Xia Xingcheng almost ate the plastic stick of the lollipop. He looked at Xia Xingche faintly: "Then why didn't you say it, did you say you were awkward, did you deserve it for what you have come to?"

In fact, he already knew it, but he couldn't understand why Xia Xingche was always like this.

"...Yes." Xia Xingche tightly held the hand behind his back, holding onto the injured wrist, as if he wanted to use the pain to wake him up again, but when he touched the wound, he was caught by a hand.

At this moment, he felt his hand being held, and he knew who it was without looking at him. Out of the corner of his eye, his eyes fell on Jiang Chengyun, and then he saw Jiang Chengyun staring at him with complicated emotions in his eyes. There were warnings and worries and emotions he couldn't read.

Anyway, I was pitying him.

He didn't want others to be pitiful, he didn't want to say that he could actually survive.

But he always overestimated himself.

Xia Xingcheng rubbed his head as if he was troubled. Should he ask directly, or be more tactful: "Xia Xingche, let me ask you, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

The pain brought to Xia Xingche by the previous pain has been enduring that there must be something wrong, but I am afraid that Xia Xingche will not say that he is holding back, and that he will not ask for help. Only by asking him for help can he help Xia Xingche, otherwise what would he do.

When Xia Xingche met his brother's eyes, he dodged subconsciously: "...No, no more."

How dare he say it, what if his brother is afraid of him, what if he thinks he is crazy and ignores him?

That won't work.

Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his emotions, that's fine, since he doesn't say yes, then he doesn't care.

"I'm going to start painting." His dream will not be hindered by anything, it's time to start.

"You want to paint again?!"

Xia Xingche's sharp voice suddenly rang out in the dormitory, scaring the other two people. There was a bit of panic in his eyes, like a bewildered and confused child, his mood was very unstable.

Jiang Chengyun grasped his arm quickly: "Xia Xingche, calm down." The sight that fell on him became more complicated, and he sighed and felt powerless.

"Why can't I paint? I'm free." Xia Xingcheng held a lollipop stick in his mouth, half-closed his eyes and hugged the back of the chair, looking up at Xia Xingche as if he had discovered some secret: "I won't go crazy."

Xia Xingche was taken aback, what do you mean, what does his brother know?

Subconsciously covering the position of the wrist.

With such an obvious movement, it was obvious at a glance that there was something wrong, Xia Xingcheng stood up abruptly, and the chair fell down with a 'bang', he stepped forward and quickly reached out to grab his clothes: "What's wrong with your hands?"

Xia Xingche shook off his hand in a panic and stood up, turned sideways and covered it with his hand, his breathing seemed to be stuck in his throat and it was difficult to breathe smoothly, no, he can't be found.

He wants to be a normal person in front of Xia Xingcheng, and he also wants to protect Xia Xingcheng.

Can't fall down, can't die yet.

Jiang Chengyun immediately stretched out his hand to support Xia Xingche's lower back, his eyes showed unbearable, but what should he say, he is an outsider.

"Xia Xingche, I'll give you another chance and tell me what's wrong with you!" Seeing Xia Xingche's dodging behavior, the fear that grew wildly in Xia Xingcheng's heart was intense, and his eyes were fixed on every movement of Xia Xingche. All the expressions were caught by him.

He was giving Xia Xingche a chance. As long as Xia Xingche asks for help, he will definitely forgive him. Forgive everything. If there is anything that cannot pass, as long as the two of them resist, it will pass. It's no big deal.

There was a moment of silence in the dormitory, and he didn't hear his own response.

Xia Xingcheng bit the lollipop stick in his hand into a mess, the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, all right, hold it back, let's see who can hold it back.

"Okay, don't tell me if you don't tell me, don't tell me in the future, and don't call me brother. Also, I won't be living in school from today on." He was so angry that he almost couldn't leave, and irritatedly rolled his hands hair.

This guy is really...

Ah!

pissed him off.

Xia Xingche turned around suddenly, he looked at Xia Xingcheng nervously: "Where are you going?"

"You don't care where I go, don't you tell me anything? Why should I tell you?" Xia Xingcheng looked at Xia Xingche with a blank expression, anger and displeasure, but he couldn't do it after thinking about it. He had to calm down. Can't make things worse: "I'm about to start painting, so I rent a studio and decide to devote myself to my creative career."

Xia Xingche frowned: "Where is the studio?"

Xia Xingcheng was very calm, obviously already in the role of underground love: "Guess."

Anyway, one or two like to hold back and not talk about it, so why did he say it.

"It's not with Lu Wei, is it?"

Xia Xingcheng looked at Jiang Chengyun with a half-smile, "If you sleep with Xia Xingche, you won't allow me to sleep with Lu Wei?"

Jiang Chengyun and Xia Xingche said in unison: "Who slept with him!"

After speaking, they looked at each other.

Xia Xingcheng sensed the subtle aura of these two people, he didn't want to say anything, he just thought it was pretty good, at least Xia Xingche was not alone, at least he would look for Jiang Chengyun when he was sad, and sighed slightly.He bent down to help the fallen chair up, and the moment he straightened up, he looked at the two people, and as expected, he saw the hands behind the two.

Tsk, let's not talk about it, do you still think of him as a brother?

"Xia Xingche, I'll give you another chance. Is there anything you didn't tell me?" He leaned on the back of his chair and said calmly, "As long as you say it, I will forgive you for everything, and I don't blame you for anything. "

He chose to give in, because he didn't want to see another tragedy happen, they shouldn't be like this, as long as Xia Xingche said it, he promised to get along well with him.

With just this sentence, the light that had not been brought out for a long time seemed to shine into that dark hut. Xia Xingche looked at Xia Xingcheng in disbelief, his pupils reflected his brother's face, and the tiny spots of light in his eyes seemed to Stained with hope, it becomes brighter and brighter bit by bit.

——As long as you say it, I will forgive you for everything, and I don't blame you for anything.

Isn't that what he's been waiting for?

——Ah Che, did your brother treat you very well, then you should treat him better in the future.

The promise with the childish voice in childhood seems to be still echoing in my ears. Before the mother's incident, they were obviously good brothers, but later because of the incident between their parents, the two brothers fell out completely.

It shouldn't be like this, but everything was ruined overnight, ruined by his father.

He endured it for so many years, followed the path arranged by his father, and even completed the task ahead of time, just to be strong enough to protect Xia Xingcheng. He also has no hobbies or great pursuits, but he hopes that Xia Xingcheng can do what he likes. As for the matter, it is enough for the Xia family to have him as a puppet, and the rest should fly freely.

"Brother, give me a little more time, can you give me a little more time?"

Xia Xingcheng caught Xia Xingche's eyes by surprise. He didn't know how many complex and forbearing emotions were hidden in those eyes, but the only thing he felt was that Xia Xingche needed time to build up his mind, and whether he should seek help from the outside world. .

"it is good."

He just gave Xia Xingche a little more time, as long as Xia Xingche asked him for help, he would definitely help.

After speaking, he smiled at Xia Xingche.

Xia Xingche froze for a moment, then laughed after a few seconds.

It seems that the thick emotional wall separating the two of them has collapsed. It has been more than ten years. It was the wrong guidance of their parents to separate them cruelly, which should not have happened.

Shouldn't.

Jiang Chengyun felt a little like crying, since he was a child, he had never seen these two people talk well, so now it is...

all right.

He doesn't know what else to do, so applaud.

Xia Xingche glanced at him: "It's so noisy."

Jiang Chengyun's hands froze in mid-air: "..."

Xia Xingcheng looked at the two and smiled without saying a word.

.

So noon turned into lunch for four people.

"Eat more meat, you can't lose weight."

"You can't pick out the greens."

"Soup is a must."

"This meal has to be eaten clean."

Xia Xingcheng bit his chopsticks and looked at Xia Xingche, who repeatedly stopped him from eating, with resentment on his face. He couldn't say a word:

"It's alright, why are you being so considerate if you don't tell me anything, are you afraid that if you say it later, I'll beat you up and pave the way for me first?"

It's so numb that it makes goosebumps, is this the Xia Xingche he knows? It's too abnormal!

Xia Xingche gave him the lean meat on his plate, and looked at his brother with a smile on his face: "I just want to treat you well, give you everything, eat quickly, I'll give you everything."

There is an undisguised desire to be kind to his brother in this look, and it is also what he has always wanted to do these years. He never imagined that there will be such a day. Now that it has come, he will naturally want to express everything about himself mood.

As a boyfriend, Lu Wei who has no chance to pick up food: "..."

Jiang Chengyun, who is the best childhood friend, has never been so crooked: "..."

In the end, Xia Xingcheng couldn't bear it anymore, he reached out and grabbed Xia Xingche's hand that was about to add vegetables to his plate:

"Don't pick it up for me anymore, why don't you pick it up for me again, why don't you give me your share of the meal, will you still eat the two dishes?"

Looking at his full plate of meat, and then glanced at Xia Xingche's lunch that only had rice and vegetables left, he really couldn't bear such a scorching love.

"Are you caring about me?" Xia Xingche suddenly felt very moved: "Then it doesn't matter if I eat free rice."

Xia Xingcheng: "..." It was terrible, he really couldn't bear it, so he turned his head to look at Wei Lu in distress: "Teacher Lu, I can't eat anymore."

There was a bit of coquettishness in his tone unconsciously.

Xia Xingche's eyes sank.

Lu Wei adapted well to his identity as an underground party, and smiled with a reasonable demeanor: "It's shameful to waste food. If classmate Xia can't finish eating, the teacher can help you eat."

Jiang Chengyun observed seriously, why is he the only one out of place?That's not okay.

So he pushed his plate to Xia Xingche's side, straightened his body, "Hey, eat mine, I'm not hungry."

Xia Xingche glanced at him indifferently: "No, you can eat."

After speaking, he looked at Xia Xingcheng who was facing him, frowning slightly, why Xia Xingcheng could act like a spoiled child to Jiang Chengyun and Lu Wei but never did this to him, it really is because he did it too badly, right?

He looked at Lu Wei with a little envy in his eyes.

Jiang Chengyun stared at Xia Xingche resentfully: "..."

Why can he be so indifferent to him, have you forgotten what happened last night?Is he at a disadvantage like this?

Xia Xingcheng quickly threw the vegetables into Lu Wei's plate, and after seeing Lu Wei's warning eyes, he smiled and blinked flatteringly, holding the chopsticks in both hands, as if begging to deal with it.

"Don't be coquettish." Lu Wei lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"It's useful for you." Xia Xingcheng leaned into his ear and whispered.

Lu Wei pushed his glasses pretending to be calm, picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables, his actions had already expressed his helplessness and pampering.

Xia Xingcheng looked at Lu Wei's reddened ears and held back a smile, put his hand under the table to touch his thigh, but as soon as he touched it, Lu Wei grabbed him.

"Eat well." Lu Wei said, turning his head sideways, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"Okay." Xia Xingcheng smiled and buried himself in his meal.

Xia Xingche: "..."

Jiang Chengyun: "..."

Sitting in front of them like they don't exist?

Jiang Chengyun noticed that the atmosphere between the two seemed to have changed slightly: "You two...what's the situation?"

"Huh?" Xia Xingcheng raised his head and said with a bright smile, "There is a strong socialist teacher-student relationship!"

"I believe in your evil." Jiang Chengyun pushed the drink in front of him to him: "Don't try to lie to me, maybe the old man Lu Wei tricked you."

old man?

Lu Wei pushed his glasses and looked at Jiang Chengyun, his lips curled slightly, his eyes were full of chills, he wrote it down first.

Xia Xingcheng didn't intend to tell them yet, so his expression was very calm: "No, we are still the same. The friendly exchanges between artists are something you ordinary people don't understand, especially you Jiang Chengyun."

Jiang Chengyun's expression froze in an instant. Why did he use art to insult him again? Isn't it because when he was a child, he regarded the dog drawn by Xia Xingcheng as a pig, so it was necessary to remember it for so long?

She curled her lips and chose to shut up.

"Mr. Lu, I haven't formally thanked you yet."

Lu Wei raised his eyes to look at Xia Xingche, he probably knew that what Xia Xingche was talking about happened yesterday: "It's nothing, I just happened to know."

"I apologize to you for what happened in the hospital last time. I was reckless and didn't do anything. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."

Wei Lu felt his heart hurt badly when he heard the word "you". He is 28 years old, so he replied with a smile: "It's okay."

There is no expression in my heart.

He never cared about his age or image before, but since he got to know Xia Xingcheng, he cared more and more, especially knowing that Xia Xingcheng had two such people beside him, he became more determined to start image management and fitness idea.

We need to put the plan on the agenda as soon as possible.

Even my hands started throbbing.

Looking at the two people sitting in front of him, Xia Xingche actually wanted to ask more questions, but for a while he didn't know how to ask, and was also worried that Xia Xingcheng would be unhappy, so he could only put his confusion in his heart and wait for him. Ask after the relationship with Xia Xingcheng is better.

Then choose an appropriate topic to open:

"I heard that Teacher Lu also studied art?"

Xia Xingcheng felt a sudden crisis when he heard Xia Xingche's words, what was he going to do, want to break them up?

In order to protect his boyfriend, he blurted out the information on the Baidu entry, which he had already memorized and lost:

"Lu Wei is the youngest member of the professional committee of the Art Association, the most valuable seal cutting artist, the artist with the highest transaction value in the art seal cutting auction, an art educator, and an outstanding young entrepreneur. He is now a member of the Fine Arts Department of Haiqing University Teacher, he is really a very good artist. And he is also a Chinese-German mixed race, handsome and good-natured, kind and generous, not only can compose and engrave Chinese paintings, but also invested a lot of money in education, yes The best man I've ever seen, bar none!"

After Xia Xingcheng finished speaking, he smiled and gave Lu Wei two thumbs up, as if he was a fan.

This wave of rainbow farts made Lu Wei laugh. He really liked Xia Xingcheng, this little cutie. If he could, he would hug her directly, but it's not good for him to be too intimate here in the dining hall. As for the action, I can only hold back the joy in my heart, and wait until the evening to talk about it.

Xia Xingche and Jiang Chengyun: "..."

"By the way, Xia Xingcheng, didn't you say you signed a contract with a gallery? Is that gallery reliable?" Jiang Chengyun thought about Xia Xingcheng's announcement yesterday that he would start painting.

Xia Xingcheng turned his head and looked at Lu Wei: "Do you think it's reliable?"

In fact, he didn't ask Mr. Fang why he called Mr. Lu Wei's father the last time, but he could vaguely understand that Mr. Lu might have invested something in Mr. Fang. Could it be because of him?

"Although Fang Zhiqing's gallery has not been in operation for a long time, he is a well-known young artist himself, and he can bring a certain degree of popularity to the gallery. In addition, the popularity of your maddog joining the gallery must be promising in the future, and it is naturally reliable. Yes." After Lu Wei finished speaking, he silently added in his mind that there must be no problem with his joining.

He is willing to do his best to build an oil painting kingdom for Xia Xingcheng.

Xia Xingcheng was a little puzzled when he heard that there seemed to be no Lu Wei here: "Why did Teacher Fang call you the father of the funder?"

He thought that Wei Lu spent a lot of money on him...

think too much.

"For the gallery's art exhibition in March next year, I agree to let it be exhibited in the art gallery for one month."

When Xia Xingche heard the word art museum, he unconsciously thought of the project at hand: "Which art museum?"

Recently, he is bidding for the land around the Weifeng Art Museum in the central city of Haihai. This project is also what he wants to do after two years of preparation, which is to combine art and commerce and invest in a commercial city around the art museum, but the project and The land could not be obtained for a long time, because some people in the art museum did not agree.

Wei Feng...

Lieutenant Lu?

"Weifeng." Lu Wei said, "So this can be regarded as my investment in the gallery."

Xia Xingcheng knew how much money and material resources it would cost to rent a venue for an art exhibition, so he was surprised to hear that Lu Wei would give the art exhibition a month to hold the exhibition.

He didn't even ask, just took it as his own reasons, couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering.

When Xia Xingche heard that it was really Weifeng's eyes that were a bit more hesitant to speak, it seemed that he needed to find an opportunity to formally apologize to Lu Wei, maybe there was still a chance to win the project, this is his In the last year in China, only by winning this project can he go abroad for graduate study with peace of mind.

"Mr. Lu, thank you very much for taking care of Xia Xingcheng during this time. To express my gratitude, I would like to treat you to a meal. If possible, can we make an appointment?"

Wei Lu looked at Xia Xingche whose attitude was completely different from before, what does this mean?Do you want to start from him to ease the relationship with Xia Xingcheng?Or what gives the check plot?

He pushed his glasses calmly and nodded, "Yes."

That being the case, then he will not shirk or sit still, after all, he has wronged his Xia Xingcheng, no matter what the situation is, he will try his best to solve it.

Xia Xingcheng grabbed Wei Lu's hand under the table and looked at Xia Xingche warily: "What do you want?"

"I just want to invite Teacher Lu to dinner, there is no other meaning, I promise."

Xia Xingcheng saw that Xia Xingche's appearance really didn't look like he was trying to find fault, so he was dubious: "Then can I go?"

"No." Xia Xingche shook his head and smiled.

"Then can I go?" Jiang Chengyun, who had been ignored for a long time, asked quietly.

Xia Xingche glanced at him: "It's none of your business."

Jiang Chengyun: "..."

He figured it out, and now he was an outsider.Wanting to cry without tears, he grabbed Xia Xingcheng's hand and pretended to wipe his own tears. He looked very pitiful, and was about to say a few pitiful words to make Xia Xingcheng pay attention to him, but his hand was taken away in the next second. Looking up, it was Xia Xingcheng who pulled back, still expressionless, with a chaste appearance.

... This little short leg with no emotion!

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Xia Xingcheng hurriedly withdrew. There were two hours left in his lunch break and he couldn't waste it on Xia Xingche and Jiang Chengyun. He was going to have an affair.

So he said to the two people in front of him righteously: "Okay, lunch is over, I want to discuss with Mr. Lu about the deepening effect of art on people's spiritual world, let's go first." Then he stood up and looked at Lu Wei with a smile Said: "Teacher Lu, let's go."

He blinked at the man thoughtfully.

Wei Lu understood in seconds. He looked at Xia Xingche and Jiang Chengyun and said, "Both students are very talkative. I hope we have the opportunity to have lunch together next time. Now I have an academic discussion with Xia. Let's go first. Goodbye." .”

Then he stood up and walked away with Xia Xingcheng carrying the plate.

Xia Xingche and Jiang Chengyun: "..."

So fake and hypocritical.

They suspected that the two were in a relationship, but there was no proof.

Jiang Chengyun put the chopsticks back on the plate and turned his head: "Hey, why do you want to have dinner with Lu Wei?"

He tried to regain some sense of his own existence.

Xia Xingche cleaned up the dinner plate, then stood up, looked down at Jiang Chengyun and said calmly, "You don't even understand."

After speaking, he turned around and left with the plate.

Jiang Chengyun's eyes started to flare up, why didn't he understand, why both of them said he didn't understand!He was so angry that he clenched his fist and smashed the table, and accidentally pulled the pain in his shoulder, and suddenly felt very sad.

... Today, he is such a miserable man.

No one cares.
