vines growing like crazy

"Sister-in-law, try this matsutake."

"Sister-in-law, this mushroom soup is also delicious."

"Sister-in-law, try this again."

"I'll have some ice cream later, perfect."

……

After Lu Yue finished speaking, a satisfied smile appeared on her face,

Xu Yao also laughed along with her.

Lu Yue has been introducing the restaurant's dishes to Xu Yao. The restaurant tastes really good, and it suits Xu Yao's appetite.

Xu Yao really likes Lu Yue's straightforward personality, optimistic, cheerful, and always smiling. When he chats with Lu Yue, his own words will increase unconsciously, but Lu Sheng on the side has always been very quiet.

Lu Yue added: "My brother and I used to come here often, but after my brother moved away from home, I seldom came here myself."

Lu Sheng finally remembered that he was still an older brother, and asked Lu Yue: "Yueyue, do you have a boyfriend now?"

When Lu Yue heard her brother's question, her smiling expression just now became bitter, and she frowned: "Brother, I'm ten years younger than you, and you're not even married yet, why should I worry? Wait until when you marry your sister-in-law before urging me, you were with Qiao Yi before..."

Lu Yue didn't stop talking as soon as she spoke. When she said this, she suddenly felt that someone kicked her calf from under the table. She reacted suddenly and looked up at her brother sitting opposite her. She shut up urgently , looked at Xu Yao again.

There was not much change on Xu Yao's face, he was eating quietly all the time, Lu Yue hummed and changed the subject, and pointed to Xu Yao the steamed sea bass on the table, "Sister-in-law, you can eat some more of this fish, this one is also good food."

"Yeah." Xu Yao nodded with a smile, and put a piece of fish into his mouth. The fish is delicious, and he likes it too.

Xu Yao heard about the person named Qiao Yi from Lu Yue's words just now. This is the second time he heard it. He also heard it mentioned at the party last night. He guessed in his heart that the man named Qiao Yi might be It was the man who rejected Lu Sheng's multiple marriage proposals.

Now he is more and more curious about what kind of person Qiao Yi is.

It was just pure curiosity, he added to himself in his heart.

After one bite of fish, Xu Yao made eighteen turns in his heart, but his face remained hidden, and he ate a few more bites of fish.

Lu Sheng picked some vegetables for him, "This vegetable is very refreshing and relieves greasy."

"Thank you." Xu Yao ate the vegetables that Lu Sheng gave him, but he couldn't eat any more. After a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks, "I'm full."

"Full?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Well, today's dishes are very appetizing, and I eat a bit too much." Xu Yao said.

Lu Sheng looked at the dishes on the table and said, "Not much, your appetite is so small, no wonder you are so skinny."

"Is it very thin?" Xu Yao asked.

Lu Sheng also put down his chopsticks, "Thin."

But there are places where meat should be.

Lu Sheng asked again: "Where do you want to go later?"

Xu Yao just wanted to say anything, but he suddenly remembered what Lu Sheng said to him at the dinner table in the morning, and changed his words: "I want to go to the Art Museum of City A."

When Lu Yue heard this, she raised her finger and pointed at her brother, "Sister-in-law, my brother is the most familiar with art museums, you just ask him to accompany you."

"What time do you plan to go?" Lu Sheng asked.

Xu Yao raised his wrist to check the time and said, "Two o'clock."

"Okay, then it's just right for us to start now."

Lu Yue called them, "Brother, sister-in-law, can you be late, I haven't eaten dessert yet."

"No." Lu Sheng didn't turn his head, "I've ordered dessert for you, so take your time."

When we arrived at the art museum, the staff at the entrance of the museum greeted Lu Sheng familiarly.

After Xu Yao entered the hall, he said, "They all know you."

"Well, I was a painter before I opened a gallery. I majored in oil painting when I went to college. The curator of this art gallery is my teacher." After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he changed the subject, "Is there any painting that you want to see in particular? ?”

Xu Yao could see that Lu Sheng didn't want to talk about the past, so he didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "I checked before I came here, and there are several paintings by Jiang Sheng in the Art Museum of City A. I want to go and see them." .”

Lu Sheng froze for a moment, then stopped his feet, "Do you like Jiang Sheng very much?"

Xu Yao stood beside Lu Sheng, nodded and said, "Actually, my sister likes it, so I like it a lot, but I don't know how to draw, so I don't know much about it. I can only look at paintings based on my own feelings. "

Lu Sheng continued to lead him forward, and said as he walked, "Painting is originally seen with the eyes. It's simpler, not as professional and complicated as you think. Believe in the most intuitive feeling that your eyes can bring to you. Personal preferences are also different, just go with your first feeling.”

The art museum is divided into four floors. Lu Sheng took Xu Yao for a stroll on the first floor first, Xu Yao urged Lu Sheng, and the two went up to the second floor together.

In a square exhibition area in the center of the second floor, four paintings by Jiang Sheng were hung. There were wall lamps on the walls.

Apart from the painting at home, this is the first time that Xu Yao has seen Jiang Sheng's paintings up close. He checked the Internet before, and the paintings in the Art Museum of City A were donated by Jiang Sheng to the art museum last year. The four paintings are a series named "Ya", and they are all Jiang Sheng's later paintings.

The colors used in Jiang Sheng's later paintings tend to be gray and dark, all of them are cold tones, black, thick blue, thick gray, piled on top of each other.

Xu Yao didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that when he looked at these paintings, he would feel a little cold, the kind of coldness with goosebumps on his arms, it was not just the visual impact of the colors, It is Jiang Sheng who painted these paintings, and the coldness that comes out through the paintings is similar to the coldness of despair.

Lu Sheng noticed the change in the expression on Xu Yao's face, and asked him: "Is it uncomfortable looking at these paintings? I'll take you to look at other paintings. There are many paintings by artists worth seeing."

Xu Yao didn't move, he took two steps forward, looked back at Lu Sheng, "You major in oil painting, can you introduce me?"

Lu Sheng was silent for a while, still standing behind Xu Yao, and finally said slowly: "These paintings are all about the cliffs by the sea. This kind of despair, the angle of the painting is from top to bottom, the waves beat on the cliff wall, if you take a step forward, you will fall, and fall into the tumbling seabed, but Jiang Sheng painted the sun in every painting, the cliff The flowers on the side are blooming and growing upward..."

"But he is still desperate," Xu Yao continued Lu Sheng's words, "Sunshine and flowers did not give him hope. The sunshine in the painting is gray, and the flowers are black. I think Jiang Sheng, when painting, should very sad."

is sad.

Lu Sheng replied silently in his heart. He moved his eyes away from the painting and looked at Xu Yao. Xu Yao was still looking at the painting on the wall seriously. Lu Sheng's angle was facing the hair on the top of Xu Yao's head. , Xu Yao's hair is very thin and soft, and his head is round.The person in front of him formed a sharp contrast with the painting on the wall, one was dark and the other was warm.

After a long time, Xu Yao's upturned neck became a little sore. He moved, and when he lowered his head, he muttered in a low voice: "It would be great if I could see Jiang Sheng's painting exhibition once. I used to want to see it for my sister, but now I actually want to see it myself." It's just a pity that he doesn't paint anymore."

Hearing what he said, Lu Sheng raised his hand to press on Xu Yao's hair, and said, "Maybe Jiang Sheng will still pick up a paintbrush, and it's not impossible to see his painting exhibition."
