"Young Master Chen...Brother Chen." I turned my head and was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled, "What a coincidence."

"It's quite a coincidence. It's not that I heard that your company's exhibitions have always been good. My buddies and I will take a look." I followed his gaze and saw the man standing in front of a painting. He was the same as me. Brother Lin Ya from a few faces.He looked very seriously and didn't notice this side at all. Chen Weihai shrugged, "As a result, he was too fascinated and left me here alone. He turned his face and saw you."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the man's back, but there was a helpless and indulgent smile on his face.This feeling is very familiar to me. Every time I volunteered to try a new recipe, the helpless Song Cheng beside me laughed like this.I suddenly realized something, and smiled slightly: "Brother Lin Ya seems to like that painting very much, and he seems to be holding an introduction for an auction later."

Chen Weihai hummed: "That artist has drawn comics he liked before."

"Will Brother Chen attend the auction later?"

"Should be, nothing tonight." He asked, "Why?"

"I'll talk to them about this painting later, so I won't be on stage to shoot it." I said, "Brother Chen will help me once, and I will give it to you as a gift. If you really treat me as a friend, then accept it. It's just a painting."

Chen Weihai looked at me with raised eyebrows full of interest, and I looked at him anxiously—although I heard that he has a good temper and is fun to play, I still have no idea whether he will accept him or not.After a while, he smiled softly: "Thank you. But did I make it so obvious?"

I stayed for half a second to quickly realize what he said, and shook my head: "That's not true. But Brother Chen, you must have heard a saying: There are three things in the world that cannot be hidden, cough, poverty and—— "

"Okay." Before he finished speaking, he stretched out a finger to touch my lips, and his soft fingertips passed over my lips, "Keep it a secret. Fortunately, Junyan, you seem to have a tight mouth, Otherwise, I'll have to beat you up."

"I thought you guys..." I was stunned for a moment, Chen Weihai stared at the man so bluntly that I thought they were together a long time ago, and now I had to make amends in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, after all, Brother Chen, you are so handsome Well. I won't tell."

Chen Weihai smiled cunningly, and when the corners of his mouth were raised, he was a little angry, and looked to the other side indifferently: "It's my wishful thinking."

He was very calm when he spoke, but it made me feel a little pity in my heart, maybe because I saw in him the shadow of me who was in unrequited love in the past.So he couldn't help persuading: "If you like it, you have to say it, otherwise the other party will never understand, and you will be very hard."

If I told Yang Chen bluntly that I like him, would everything be different?I don't know how it will end, but what I'm sure is that if I do that, my youth will at least have a little more courage that I can miss.

"It's not that easy. It's very difficult to be happy." Chen Weihai joked, "If you meet someone you like, you must cherish it. Letting a person who has no feelings fall in love with you is like going to heaven. Difficult. Human beings have already landed on Mars, and there is no sign of me here. Take it as your experience from the tragic experience of your predecessors."

One-sided liking is when the moon revolves around the earth, no matter how much it circles, it can only cause a little tidal change in the other party. As soon as his sun appears, he loses his own figure in his eyes; falling in love is when two meteors collide and crush each other And because of the gravitational force, they were reunited and moved forward. At the same time, thousands of lights poured down, and the chance of encountering such a splendid scene was one in a billion.

Cherish it... some people will never meet another shooting star in their lifetime.

Senior sister's description seemed to coincide with his voice, echoing in my ears.I smiled embarrassingly, but said on my mouth: "I understand, thank you Brother Chen."

"It's enough to spoil the fun. Thank you for your painting today." Chen Weihai patted my shoulder encouragingly, turned around and prepared to leave, "I invite you out to play when I have a chance."

"Okay." I nodded, "Contact again."

I walked in another direction, not interested in looking at the exhibits, I hurriedly sent a message to arrange the painting, and turned to look for Lao Luo.

Lao Luo didn't say anything when he saw me. He was chatting with a few friends.I couldn't participate in their conversation, and I was even less interested in the upcoming auction that I couldn't be more familiar with, so I found an excuse to let myself come out to breathe.

The air outside was still a bit cold, and the exhibition hall was brightly lit. I walked a little further to find a slightly secluded alley, and went to buy another pack of cigarettes.Pale blue smoke spewed out from between my lips, and I leaned against the rough wall, staring at the flickering light between my fingers in a daze.

In fact, I have been told many times by doctors to maintain health, reduce work pressure, pay attention to rest and not stay up late, let alone smoking and drinking.He said that my current body is teetering on the verge of severe sub-health, plus the sequelae of my eyes, no matter how bad it is, I really don't want to live a good life in the future.I really can't imagine myself walking in the morning and evening with a vacuum flask at a young age, and I don't intend to do as he said.

I have no future for a long time, am I still afraid of smoking a cigarette?

Are you going to have a showdown with Song Cheng tonight... I smiled wryly and took a sharp breath, but was so choked that I coughed a lot.I started to try smoking secretly in junior high school. After smoking by the sink, I threw the cigarette butts into the toilet to flush away. I used the mint-flavored mouthwash in my schoolbag to wash away the smell on my body. I passed by the dean as if nothing had happened. Shy good student.

Later, I felt that this was meaningless. It could neither change the status quo nor allow me to get real relief. It was just a temporary numbness like alcohol.

I haven't smoked for a long time, and now I feel like a novice.What's more, it didn't take long to recover from the cold, and after being tossed like this, my throat started to hurt a little again.I laughed at myself, snuffed out the nearly burnt cigarette in my hand, and threw it into the trash can together with the cigarette case I had just opened, and turned away without any regrets.

It's okay to miss a star, after all, I'm just a cheap spark on a cigarette.

Because the exhibits were not high-grade, the photo had already been taken by the time I sat down in the exhibition hall after wandering outside for a long time.It was the break time, and there were many people talking on the field. Lao Luo's face was flushed, and I asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

He held my hand tightly, suppressed his excitement and lowered his voice: "50!"

"What 50...?" I widened my eyes, "Sold 50? So much?"

50 is not much to me, but what surprised me was that this work was actually called for this price.Although the quality of the exhibits that can be selected for the auction in the end will not be too bad, and will be acquired by the organizers at the last time, the price that is much higher than the forecast still surprises everyone.You must know that I learned from the staff that the estimated transaction price of this work is only [-] to [-] yuan, and it has rarely been higher than this estimate.

Moreover, the general participation enthusiasm at the beginning is not very high. If I were not the boss behind the scenes, I would have doubted whether it was the entrustment of the company or the one with poor acting skills.Who insisted on buying such an ordinary work at such a high price?

"Who bought it?" I asked, wondering if it was maliciously raising the price and then refusing to pay.But considering that the auction is also a private invitation letter, no one should be so bored to spoil the scene. I guess that person really likes to spend money like water, "Do you remember when the auction was taken?"

"No. [-]." Lao Luo grabbed my wrist, overflowing with joy, he said happily, "This boss appreciates this work so much, maybe he will come to meet us later, Don't rush away... Well, it would be great if Xiao Song came too, just to introduce him..."

I frowned.Although a number corresponds to a person with a real name, there are always a few numbers in the auction that belong to the kind of "anonymous" who want to take pictures in silence without being disturbed, and number [-] is one of them.The organizer is responsible for keeping their information confidential. If it is leaked, the organizer of this auction can be held accountable according to the contract, and the liquidated damages are extremely high.More importantly, it will ruin the reputation in the circle. Unless there are enough benefits in exchange, few people will break their own way and leak secrets to others.

The trouble is that this exhibition is all handled by Xu Yucheng, and the organizer should be Zhuang Lin as expected.

Who... bought this work?
