Return to the Road of God

In another exhibition hall, Guan Hongze asked He Yuexi casually, "You have a good relationship with Ye Yufan?"

"Yeah, we formed a team together when we went to Italy, and we got to know each other after we came back," He Yuexi said.

Guan Hongze asked again: "How is his health? Did he get sick later?"

He Yuexi shook her head: "It seems that there are no more..."

Just once, when Ye Yufan came back in a hurry from outside, He Yuexi thought he was ill, but Ye Yufan himself said no, and he was fine after lying on the bed for a while.

"That's good," Guan Hongze nodded, and asked, "Has he exhibited any works?"

"Yes, it's also in this hall." He Yuexi led Guan Hongze over, and Guan Hongze stood in front of the painting, frowning for a while, and thinking for a while, "You and him are in the same grade, what do you think of him?" Guan Hongze asked.

He Yanlu said bluntly: "He is very powerful."

Guan Hongze looked at the painting and said, "But this painting looks a bit rough."

"What he wants to highlight is not details and skills, but consciousness." He Yuexi relayed Ye Yufan's analysis on the topic of "travel" to Guan Hongze.

Guan Hongze praised: "It's rare for him to think of these things."

In fact, He Yuexi not only looks deeply at the problem, He Yuexi knows that Ye Yufan has many other advantages... For example, on the first day in Florence, Ye Yufan took He Yuexi to wander aimlessly in the city. He Yuexi would never experience it.

Guo Zhekai draws by intuition, his hands are faster than his brain. He Yuexi has been influenced by him before, but he has overlooked one point - he does not have Guo Zhekai's talent, so he can't compare to him.

This time he and Ye Yufan traveled together, and he was greatly inspired. Although the homework was not selected for the exhibition, He Yuexi felt that he had gained a lot.

"Have you seen the painting in the B0 exhibition hall? What do you think?" Guan Hongze asked, changing the subject.

"The level of that painting is too high, even if you have the strength, you can't draw it. SAFale has almost...almost reached the realm of 'harmony between man and nature'!" He Yuexi blurted out.He had explained this state to Ye Yufan at the time, but he didn't expect to use it to describe that painting at this moment, it would be very appropriate!

Thinking of this, He Yuexi said bluntly: "Actually, Ye Yufan's conscious expression has many details that are close to that painting!"

Guan Hongze raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

He Yuexi: "Yeah, although the performance is a bit rough and naive, but what does it matter, Ye Yufan has only studied painting for a year, and he will be able to..."

"What did you say!?" Guan Hongze interrupted, "One year?"

He Yuexi was startled: "...well, he said he only started learning to draw at this time last year."

Guan Hongze looked at the painting on the wall again, with a solemn expression, He Yuexi was stunned by his rare and serious look, and didn't know what to say.

Guan Hongze looked at it for a while, then said, "Go back."

He Yuexi: "..."

Guan Hongze retrieved Fu Tingxin in Hall B0, He Yuexi dragged the drooling Guo Zhekai away from the "Impression of Italy", and several people gathered at the entrance of the exhibition hall.

"Let's have a meal together." Guan Hongze suggested, "I invite you."

"Okay." Guo Zhekai's eyes sparkled, and Ke Jing also expressed no objection. He would not refuse a good thing that someone pays for the meal.

A few people went to a French restaurant in the city center. The expensive prices on the menu made He Yuexi almost vomit blood. The rough Guo Zhekai asked Guan Hongze what the names of the dishes meant, and Ke Jing familiarly recommended a few dishes to Ye Yufan. For his favorite dish, Guan Hongze summoned the waiter and asked him if the restaurant has low-alcohol red wine...

"Is there anyone here who is underage?" Guan Hongze glanced around and asked.

Everyone then reported their ages to each other.

He Yuexi: "20."

Ke Jing: "19."

Fu Tingxin: "18."

Guan Hongze: "18."

Guo Zhekai counted with his fingers: "18, 17...?"

Ye Yufan: "16."

"..." He Yuexi pointed at her nose and shouted, "No way, I'm the biggest!?"

"You are actually 20 years old?" Ke Jing looked at He Yuexi in disbelief.

He Yuexi: "..."

Guo Zhekai looked at Guan Hongze and said in surprise, "Boss, you're only 18 years old? I always thought you were in your twenties!"

Guan Hongze: "..."

Fu Tingxin couldn't help pounding the table and laughing, and Ke Jing couldn't speak from the laughter. After a while, he pointed to Guan Hongze and explained: "He is in the same class as me in elementary school, how could he be in his twenties!"

"Student..." In Guo Zhekai's eyes, Ke Jing was promoted to the same level as the young boss, and instantly shone brightly, "Senior~~~"

Ke Jing trembled: "What kind of eyes do you have!"

Ye Yufan asked Ke Jing: "I remember you are only two years older than me..."

Ke Jing: "I just celebrated my birthday a month ago."

The shocked He Yuexi huddled by herself and muttered: "No way, why are you all so small, it's unscientific..."

Guan Hongze: "Did you make a mistake? I've read your profile, and you're from 82?"

Ke Jing: "82 years? Isn't that only 18 years old?"

He Yuexi: "Hey, are you talking about one year old?"

Everyone: "Isn't it?"

He Yuexi: "..."

Guan Hongze: "I remember you were born in December, so now you haven't even celebrated your 12th birthday."

"So I'm still 18?" The sense of happiness was so strong that He Yuexi was about to cry.

Everyone should mention the date of birth, so that the age conflict was resolved. In the end, everyone looked at Ye Yufan together and sighed, "How small!" To many people, this gap is nothing at all, but in this group of In the eyes of young people under twenty, one or two months can make a difference.

Ke Jing took a sip of wine and joked, "Ye Yufan, you have to call us all brother."

Ye Yufan: "..."

He Yuexi: "I'll treat you as my younger brother from now on."

Guo Zhekai looked at Ye Yufan excitedly. He used to be the youngest in Ge Qinzhou's studio, and everyone bullied him. Now there is finally someone younger than him!

The corners of Ye Yufan's eyes twitched, it's okay for others, but Guo Zhekai...

Guan Hongze took Ye Yufan's goblet away, and looked at him with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "What do you want to drink? Is Coca-Cola okay? It's about the same color as red wine."

"..." A sudden impulse surged up in his heart, and Ye Yufan clenched his fists before he swallowed those words back. He was so dazed just now that he wanted to hit back at Guan Hongze—child, you should call me uncle.

Ye Yufan glanced at his palm with complicated emotions, and thought a little funny, how could he be only 16 years old?

Royal Academy of Arts, Administration Building.

Leonardo Locke pushed open the door of the VIP reception room, and saw a man in a black coat standing by the window.

When he heard the sound, he turned around slowly, and Locke trembled with excitement: "Count Rhine!"

"My old friend, haven't we seen each other for a few years?" The man took off his hat, revealing his face under the brim. It was the old man who appeared in the B0 exhibition hall!

Locke: "I'm so happy!"

Rhine: "Me too, it's good to see you."

Locke: "What brings you here?"

Rhine: "I passed by here, and happened to be holding an exhibition at my alma mater, so I came here to see the excitement. I didn't expect this trip to be very rewarding, and my old heart that was dying was beating for it."

Locke asked with a smile, "What did you see?"

Rhine said slowly and clearly: "Italian Impression, I want to buy that painting and meet SA Fale."

Locke's expression froze, and he shook his head slightly: "My old friend, everything else is fine, only this painting, sorry I can't make the decision."

Rhine looked at him quietly for a while, then laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "I know, I know, SAFale doesn't exist, right?"

Locke was startled, neither admitted nor denied, froze for a while, before saying: "How do you know..."

"Students under special protection? Is this plan open to Chinese people?" Rhine observed Locke's expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect it to be true. Before I met you, I wasn't sure..."

He raised his hand in surrender, and smiled wryly: "There is nothing that can hide it from you! Well, well, I can tell you his identity, but I have to get the consent of the person concerned first, and you have to go through it afterward. You have to sign a confidentiality agreement with me." Agreement, this is the rule."

Inis Rhein, Earl of Country F, one of the special students protected by the Royal Academy of Arts more than fifty years ago, an old classmate of Locke, an artist, collector, and polymath who was famous all over the world under the pseudonym "Chris Fionne" ... The always mysterious Innis Rhein unexpectedly showed up for Ye Yufan's painting!

This is only the second day of the event, how many people have come forward for "SAFale"?In the past two days, the mailbox of the Student Consultation Department was almost blown up by people who asked about SAFale's identity!

Locke sighed, feeling right again for his decision at the time.

The next day, Ye Yufan received a call from the Special Students Protection Committee, "The school has met with people from Florence in private. Fortunately, they didn't think of Shotray." A member of the committee said.

Just as Ye Yufan breathed a sigh of relief, he heard the other party say, "It's just that they took a picture of you..."

"..." He frowned deeply, and the images of that day gradually reappeared in his mind. He remembered that a young man with a beard did indeed have a camera hanging around his neck!

"...Then what should we do?" Ye Yufan asked anxiously.

"We have seen that group of photos and found that only your shoulders, arms and a little hair were photographed, but these points alone can reveal a lot of information. If your friends around you saw it, they should be able to recognize it, right? "

Yes, Asian black hair is a very obvious feature.

"The school has revealed to them that SA Fale is a student with special status, and has put pressure on them to destroy the photos, but we cannot prevent one of them from storing a copy." The committee member first gave a simple explanation, and then He added: "According to the photo information, you were wearing a plaid shirt that day. If you are worried about being recognized, you should stop wearing this shirt for a short time."

Ye Yufan nodded and asked, "Is it okay to tell them that SA Fale is a special student?"

"No, the meaning of 'special' is different from what you understand. We told them that SAFale is a specially trained student of the college, and it is very likely that he will represent the Royal Academy of Art in international competitions in the future, so before that, the school will Keeping it secret is what every school does, and that's what we're implying."

"Yes." Ye Yufan was relieved.

The phone rang twice, indicating that a new email had been received. Ye Yufan and the committee members hung up the phone, opened it, and saw that the sender turned out to be the principal...
