Jiang Ge deliberately chose a weekend to move. Although he had already hired a special moving company, Jiang Ge had to organize most of the things by himself.

"Have you packed everything over there?" Jiang Ge asked.

"Well," Xue Yiyang said while arranging the bookshelf for him, "I don't have anything."

"Actually, I also..." Jiang Ge put the books and the like in his hand into a cardboard box.

He has been running around for the past few years, traveling here and there, the less luggage the better, to avoid trouble.Every time I leave a place, I throw something away, so there's really not much to tidy up.

He saw the staff of the moving company about to stuff a picture book into the box, and stopped him repeatedly, "You don't need to move this one! I can just carry it myself."

Xue Yiyang walked over, "What is this?"

The expression on Jiang Ge's face was a little embarrassed, "Some of the things I drew in the past two years...are not well drawn."

Xue Yiyang wanted to take it over to have a look, but Jiang Ge blocked his hand, "It's nothing to look at, it's not a big deal."

Xue Yiyang lowered his outstretched hand and didn't speak again.

Jiang Ge never had this attitude towards his paintings before.Just as he understands how poor he is in mathematics, he also has a clear self-knowledge of his drawing level, knowing how talented he is, and his hands seem to be born for drawing.

When spending a lot of energy to complete a painting, he can't wait to hang it on the street for everyone to see.Xue Yiyang still remembered that his eyes were shining brightly, and he raised his chin and said: "In the future, I will paint the covers of your books, and I will definitely become a famous painter by then."

What a proud ginger that is.

On the night after the move, Meng Yi and Wenwen brought a bottle of good wine over to congratulate the housewarming.

Meng Yi didn't treat herself like an outsider, and walked around inside and out, and finally commented: "I thought you would buy a bigger house, with a swimming pool, a garden, etc."

The simple three-bedroom and two-living room is only more than 100 square meters in total, and the location is average, but it is quite close to Xue Yiyang's studio.

Xue Yiyang served the dishes in an apron, "I also think it's a bit small."

"It's not cheap to buy such a house in Dingchuan, and your car is a waste of money," Jiang Ge complained a little, "It costs more to maintain, and I feel so bad for a little scratch. This house is enough for the two of us to live in, so it’s better to save a little.”

Xue Yiyang smiled and did not speak.

There was still a day when Jiang Ge felt that he wasted money.

Wenwen looked at the two decorative paintings hanging on the wall, one was the one in the rented house in City B a few years ago, and the other was brought back from the north.

"This painting is so special." Wenwen said.

"It's all drawn by Jiang Ge." Xue Yiyang glanced at Jiang Ge who was watching the soup in the kitchen and replied.

Meng Yi was also attracted, "It's really good, the brushwork and composition are very good."

She paused and said, "And it's quite emotional."

"How can you see the emotion from the painting?" Wenwen asked her.

"I don't know." Meng Yi was a little embarrassed, "I just felt it when I saw it."

Several people also drank a little wine during dinner. After eating, Xue Yiyang sent the two of them to the gate of the community, and helped them hail a taxi before returning.

When he came back, he saw Jiang Ge sitting on the sofa, the TV was not turned on, and he seemed to be in a daze.

"What are you thinking about?" Xue Yiyang walked over and sat down next to him, and asked softly with his arms around his shoulders.

Jiang Ge shook his head, and hugged Xue Yiyang's neck sideways.

He had just come back from the outside, and he hadn't taken off his coat yet, and the clothes carried the chill outside, but Jiang Ge could smell the familiar detergent on his body, which made him feel relieved.

Xue Yiyang smiled and hugged him, letting him sit directly on his body, this posture would be more comfortable.

He could feel that Jiang Ge was acting like a baby—even though the other party didn't say a word.

The two hugged like this, except for the slight noise from the dishwasher in the kitchen, there was not much other sound.

After a long while, Jiang Ge suddenly whispered: "I won't do unannounced visits anymore, I still want to paint, I want to be by your side, always by your side."

Although Xue Yiyang seldom mentioned it in front of him, he knew that Xue Yiyang didn't want him to continue making unannounced visits, and he was struggling with how to talk about it.

Xue Yiyang froze for a moment, then said, "Okay."

He wanted to ask why, but he held back in the end.

The relationship between the two of them that night was extremely lingering, and Jiang Ge always hugged him and asked for kisses, like an insecure little rabbit.

Xue Yiyang didn't know that Wenwen said something to Jiang Ge when he was cooking in the kitchen in the afternoon.

At that time, she smiled and said to Jiang Ge: "Do you know how Xiaoyi and I met?"

Jiang Ge was a little surprised why she brought this up, but still shook his head cooperatively.

Wenwen looks like an ordinary girl, but her skin is fairer, and the color of her lips makes her look haggard.

She tapped her temple with a finger, smiled and said, "I used to...it wasn't very good here. The first time I met Xiaoyi was in the hospital."

She came out to her parents very early, and the traditional ordinary working family couldn't accept that her daughter was such a heterogeneity, so she was sent to a treatment center that was said to be able to cure this "strange disease".

Wenwen stayed there for two full years, and she was not rescued until the illegal organization was banned.It's just that her "strange disease" still didn't heal. Her parents drove her out of the house while hugging her almost one-year-old brother.

That's when she started having some psychological problems.Until later, it became more and more serious, so severe that she herself began to realize that she was not normal, and took the initiative to go to a hospital that specializes in treating such diseases.

"When I saw her at the time," Meng Yi interjected, "I thought this girl looked too good for my liking, and it happened that I was going to—"

She said half of what she said, and she felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she swallowed the second half.

"What do you want?" Jiang Ge asked.

"No..." Meng Yi wanted to fool her, but Wen Wen stopped her.

"At that time, she often accompanied Teacher Xue to see a doctor, so we often met." Wenwen said.

Jiang Ge's heart trembled, "See a doctor?...What kind of disease?"

Meng Yi seemed a bit embarrassed, but said it out anyway, "Now that you two are a family, I think you should also know about this... You know that he has a cleanliness habit, and his obsessive-compulsive symptoms were even more serious at that time, wash your hands The kind that can wash your hands to pieces, probably after his mother passed away..."

Seeing that Jiang Ge's face turned pale instantly, Meng Yi hurried to remedy it, "But it's much better now! Especially after you came back, he's much better! Didn't you say that he took the dirty painting with his hands? He really Much better!"

The sound of oil crackling after Xue Yiyang put something into the pan came from the kitchen.

Jiang Ge nodded at that time, and said calmly, "I see."

It was already midnight after the two of them had fought fiercely in the evening. After a busy day, Xue Yiyang had already woken up in a daze, and when he was about to fall asleep, he heard Jiang Ge talking in his ear.

"I'm sorry," he said.

sorry?Why should I be sorry... Xue Yiyang thought dimly, but soon fell asleep.

Back then when he came back from a business trip, he found that Jiang Ge had gone to Loukong. No matter how he searched, Jiang Ge just avoided seeing him.When he came back from the north, he received the bad news that his mother was seriously ill. Before he could catch his breath, he began to accompany his mother to see a doctor and find a hospital. He bumped a lot from north to south, but in the end he was judged irreversible.

After his mother passed away, he didn't know why, but he always stayed alone in that house, and gradually felt that the air was full of dirt, and typists would feel sick when they touched the keyboard.

If it wasn't for Meng Niannian's friendship, she came to visit him once and found out that something was wrong with him, and she didn't know what he would become.

Thinking about it now, his memory of that time is blurred, like a ghost is obsessed.

"Why...you always don't tell me anything." Jiang Ge looked at Xue Yiyang who had fallen asleep, and said softly.

This man is always like this, always unwilling to talk about his own affairs, just silently holding back in his heart.Jiang Ge thought, when will he realize that he is no longer the young master in the ivory tower who needs his protection?

He stared at his hands.

He also wanted to understand some things.

In fact, after his arm was healed, he could continue to paint.It's just that he can't wait for it to be good—or he's afraid of it being good, what if he can't do it when it's good?

What if after I get better, my hands are still shaking while holding the paintbrush in the examination room like that day?

So he chose to escape.If you don't draw, you'll be fine, and if you don't try, you won't fail.

Only now, he decided not to escape anymore.

Jiang Ge is still as powerful as before.Xue Yiyang found out the next day that he had started to understand Dingchuan's painting training institutions, but he searched for a long time but couldn't find anything he was satisfied with.

Later, Xue Yiyang took him to several art exhibitions, and he accidentally found a painter's works that he liked very much.After checking it, I found out that it was the work of a professor in the Fine Arts Department of Dingchuan University, so he enrolled in the adult college entrance examination class. He was going to be admitted to Dingchuan University and study under that professor.

Because of having a goal, the two of them had an extremely enjoyable life, but a call Xue Yiyang received one day made him feel a little bit burnt out.

The person in charge of the hotel on the phone said to him with a smile: "Mr. Xue, you have planned the wedding next weekend. The layout of the venue has not been provided to us yet. I don't know when..."
