vines growing like crazy

The author has something to say: Thank you for your collection of starfish and comments. I have seen them all, and I have also seen the blessings of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Babies'...

After Tan Ziping delivered them, he left. Lu Sheng held an umbrella in one hand and propped it on top of his and Xu Yao's heads, and opened the door of the apartment with a suitcase in the other hand.

Lu Sheng's apartment is a luxurious four-meter-high ceiling, decorated with a sense of modernity and design, with a strong artistic atmosphere. The dark green porch connects to an art corridor, and there are many oil paintings hanging on the walls. Xu Yao feels like walking into a Like a small gallery.

The daily necessities in the apartment are for two people, and all the necessities are new. Xu Yao knew that Lu Sheng should have asked someone to prepare them for him in advance.

Lu Sheng took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet. The slippers were the same color but different sizes.

"This apartment is also my mother's. I lived here when I was studying in France." Lu Sheng changed into his slippers and led Xu Yao through the corridor to the front hall. "I haven't been here for more than half a year. Two days ago Ask Ziping to ask someone to help clean it up."

Xu Yao walked around in the living room, and Lu Sheng took him up the stairs again. Xu Yao walked very slowly, and the walls on the side of the stairs were covered with paintings. Because Lu Sheng painted paintings, Xu Yao now Every time he saw a painting, he would be very sensitive. He stood still on the steps, looked at the two oil paintings on the wall and asked Lu Sheng, "Did you paint these?"

Lu Sheng glanced along his line of sight, his eyes moved slightly, he walked up two more steps, raised his hand and took off the two paintings that Xu Yao was looking at.

Xu Yao was a little puzzled and asked him, "Why did you pick it?"

"I didn't draw it, these two paintings shouldn't be hung here." Lu Sheng said.

Xu Yao thought, maybe Lu Sheng doesn't like those two paintings now.

"Yaoyao, go to the second floor first. I'll take these two paintings away. The living room on the second floor is facing the Seine River. The scenery is beautiful."

Xu Yao nodded, and went up to the second floor first. Before he entered, he had already noticed that the neighborhood was full of art, and there were many bars, coffee shops, and galleries around it.

He was standing on the balcony on the second floor, the rain was still heavy outside the window, he was holding on to the railing with both hands, leaning forward slightly against the railing, looking ahead through the thick rain curtain, the Seine River was outside the window, and the wide river was in the It was a bit blurry under the rain, and directly in front of it was a double-deck bridge across the river, with dim lights flickering on the buildings on the opposite bank, and pedestrians strolling in twos and threes under the rain on the bottom of the building.

He thought that if it hadn't rained, maybe he could see Paris in the reflection of the Seine.

Lu Sheng threw the two paintings he had just picked outside directly. After returning, he quickly went up the stairs, found Xu Yao and stood by his side.

"The view at night is not good, and it's still raining. If it's not raining, you can see the long river clearly here."

Xu Yao looked up at Lu Sheng and felt a layer of cool rain on Lu Sheng's body. He touched Lu Sheng's sleeve, it was wet, and his hands were cold. He asked, "You just went out. ?”

Lu Sheng nodded, "Go out and dispose of the trash."

He turned his body sideways when he was talking, and Xu Yao noticed that the wound on his neck that was left after the quarrel with his father was now a faint mark, and the raindrops were dripping down his neck, but the shallow wound There is another red mark next to the trace, which is not broken, but it is a little swollen when you look closely.

Xu Yao's eyes deepened, and he raised his hand to gently touch his neck, "What happened to his neck?"

When he wanted to withdraw his hand, Lu Sheng directly grabbed his fingers and did not let go, "I accidentally got scratched by the frame when I moved the painting just now, it's okay."

"Be careful next time..." Xu Yao whispered.

Lu Sheng's palm was also a little cold and wet. Xu Yao moved his fingers and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Lu Sheng squeezed his hand, put his ring finger in his mouth and bit it, and then used the tip of his teeth to squeeze it. He rubbed it on his fingertips.

Xu Yao felt a slight tingling pain starting from his fingertips, going down his arms and going straight to his chest, his body flinched slightly following the feeling on his fingers.

He said, "You let go."

Lu Sheng let go of Xu Yao's hand, but wrapped his arms around his waist, pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed Xu Yao's slightly opened lips, and closed his lips with the teeth that bit his fingers just now. Flap, grind a little after biting.

Xu Yao snorted softly, the breathing of the two gradually became heavy, Lu Sheng's teeth loosened his lips, and it became a slow kiss, his kiss was not lustful, it seemed that he was always looking for a foothold , After he found it, he slowly let go of Xu Yao.

He pulled Xu Yao in front of him, wrapped him in his arms, looked at the dark night outside and said: "People say that Paris is a romantic place, suitable for passionate love, suitable for madness, but now I only feel safe..."

Half of Xu Yao's face was buried in Lu Sheng's arm, and he answered in a low voice.

His current feeling is exactly the opposite of Lu Sheng's. The speed of his heartbeat and unsteady breathing made him unable to ignore it. It was a rainy day outside that he didn't like, but it made him a little obsessed. He thought, maybe he and Lu Sheng could have a try. Try, there are actually no reasons for some things, and all his worries were washed away by the scratching rain outside the window.

Maybe we can find a suitable opportunity to give Lu Sheng an answer.

Lu Sheng raised his hand again and pointed Xu Yao out of the window, "The gallery next to the coffee shop directly opposite is also mine, I'll take you to have a look after you're done, there are a few pictures I painted a long time ago painting."

Xu Yao took another two steps to the window, which was a bit far away. He said, "It's raining too much, and it's a bit far away. I can't see clearly. I thought you only have galleries in China."

"There are also a few in Paris, but they are all managed by dedicated people. I will come back several times a year to see them. What's more, I will come to some specific art exhibitions, most of the time in China."

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he introduced Xu Yao's surroundings and let him go, asking him, "Are you hungry?"

Xu Yao nodded, "Hungry." In fact, he was already hungry, and the meal on the plane at night was not to his liking.

"I know you are hungry. You only took two bites of the food on the plane. What do you want to eat? Let's go out to eat? There are many restaurants nearby. If you don't want to go out, we will eat at home. I have someone prepare the ingredients in the refrigerator in advance. I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

It was still raining outside, Xu Yao raised his wrist to check the time, it was getting late, he didn't want to go out, he said: "Let's do it by ourselves, I'll go with you, just eat something simple, it doesn't need to be too complicated, Do you have noodles? Just cook a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, I have pasta." Lu Sheng took Xu Yao downstairs and entered the kitchen.

After eating, Lu Sheng took Xu Yao into the room, and kissed him on the forehead, "Yao Yao, take a shower and go to bed first, and later I have to look at the materials of the painters who will participate in the art exhibition tomorrow, it may be a little late. "

Xu Yao nodded and said hello.

When he was in Bordeaux, he lived with Lu Sheng all the time. When he was lying on the bed alone after taking a shower, he realized that he couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned, always feeling empty in his heart.

The sound of the rain outside the window was much quieter, and the room became more quiet.

Xu Yao turned over, and the cell phone beside the bed suddenly rang, and the person who sent him the message was Lu Sheng downstairs.

Lu Sheng sent him good night, followed by an emoji of a little bear covered with a quilt.

Xu Yao smiled at the screen, replied "Go to bed early", then put down his phone and fell asleep peacefully.

When he was sleeping deeply, he felt a little more familiar breath on his side. Following that breath, he unconsciously moved his body to his side, wanting to get closer, until he got into a still In the cold chest.

It was still seven o'clock when Xu Yao woke up the next day, and Lu Sheng had already woken up. After Xu Yao got dressed and went downstairs, he was a little surprised to see Lu Sheng making breakfast in the kitchen, "You woke up really early today."

Lu Sheng stood up straight, only then did Xu Yao notice the faint dark circles under his eyes, and he asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Lu Sheng said: "Maybe I went to bed late last night, so I didn't sleep well."

While having breakfast, Xu Yao found that many things were missing in the apartment, and some things had changed their positions. Generally speaking, there was no big change, but he still felt different.

Xu Yao's itinerary for the next whole day went very smoothly. He and Lu Sheng went to Will's friend's house together with presents. Although the scale of the private wine cellar he visited this time was not as large as that of Bordeaux, the owner was right. The French are extremely picky about wine, so although the amount of wine stored in the wine cellar is small, the bottles are all classics.

The wine cellar is underground, and the underground wine cellar needs to maintain a constant temperature and humidity environment for a long time, and people cannot stay in it for a long time.

When Xu Yao came out, he even had some unfinished thoughts.

On the way back to the apartment, Xu Yao kept telling Lu Sheng about the unforgettable wine he tried today.

After returning to the apartment, Xu Yao received a call from the owner of the wine cellar who was going to visit the next day. The other party wanted to change the time to the 12th three days later due to personal matters. to visit.

Hearing that he had changed the time, Lu Sheng planned to take Xu Yao to tomorrow's art exhibition, and then called his aunt.

When my aunt heard that Lu Sheng had come to Paris, she wanted them to go there that night, but Lu Sheng told her that they were going to attend an art exhibition the next day and the day after tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Sheng turned on the weather forecast and calendar, and made arrangements for the itinerary before the 12th. Xu Yao listened carefully and didn't have any opinions.

He responded to what Lu Sheng said, and he suddenly felt that someone carefully arranged the time for him, not only would it not make him feel unacceptable, but it was very good.

On the day of the art exhibition, Tan Ziping came to pick them up. There were many people in the art exhibition, and many media and reporters also came.

After Lu Sheng took Xu Yao to look around at the art exhibition, he was called away by Tan Ziping.

Today, he and Tan Ziping mainly talked about the signing of the contract with the two painters whom he had talked with several times before. It didn't work out, so I had to take away Lu Sheng who was accompanying Xu Yao to see the art exhibition.

Before leaving, Lu Sheng asked Xu Yao to take a look at the art exhibition by himself, and if he was tired, he could go to the rest area to rest.

Xu Yao asked him to go to work first, and he waited for him. After Lu Sheng left, Xu Yao walked around the exhibition area by himself. The exhibition area was very large. After he walked around again, he went directly to the rest area, sat on the sofa in the rest area and closed his eyes. Eyes repose.

Within a few minutes, he suddenly heard a commotion in the exhibition hall. Xu Yao opened his eyes and saw a man who entered the gallery and was surrounded by a group of reporters. The man standing in the middle was very handsome. Mixed race, with oriental charm in the eyebrows and eyes, but the edges and corners are very clear, it is the outline of a Westerner, with light brown hair and a smile on his face.

Xu Yao was far away, but he could faintly hear a reporter asking the man about some oil paintings and some awards.

He thought, that man should also be a well-known painter.

Xu Yao looked at it for a while, and didn't want to pay too much attention. He got up from the sofa and went to visit other exhibition areas.

When Lu Sheng came out, Xu Yao saw him immediately, and he raised his hand to wave to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng raised the contract in his hand to signal him. Xu Yao knew that he had signed the contract successfully, so he smiled at him. After Lu Sheng approached, he said "Congratulations."

Lu Sheng said: "I will only talk about one, and it is also a painter that I personally like. There are many galleries that want to sign contracts with him. He is in contact with the directors of several galleries at the same time. Some galleries are more famous than ours. Gao, so it is not so easy to sign a contract, but Ziping is still unwilling to give up, the two are still chatting, and they have made an appointment for lunch, and I will accompany you to the art exhibition."

"Are you eating with them too?" Xu Yao asked him.

"I'm not going," Lu Sheng said, "I didn't want to interrupt the time I arranged with you before."

The corners of Xu Yao's lips curled unconsciously, but he didn't want to go shopping anymore, so he asked Lu Sheng, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Lu Sheng shook his head, "I have nothing else to do."

Xu Yao hung his arms and said wearily, "Then I won't go shopping anymore, I want to go somewhere else."

"Okay, the Louvre? Or somewhere else..."

When Lu Sheng took Xu Yao away from the art exhibition, the man who was being interviewed took a look at them from a distance.

"Mr. Qiao, this time your work "Spirit" won the gold medal in this competition. Can you share with us the inspiration of your work?"

After the reporter asked Qiao Yi's question, he didn't hear his answer for a long time, and Qiao Yi's gaze was elsewhere. The reporter followed his gaze and looked sideways, but there was nothing.

A reporter who knew him well asked him, "Mr. Qiao, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the voice, Qiao Yi looked away, and his face quickly returned to the usual standard smile. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I seem to see a friend just now, maybe I misread it."

The reporter asked him again: "Mr. Qiao is not looking at Mr. Lu, right? By the way, there have been rumors of your marriage to Mr. Lu many times before. I wonder when you plan to officially announce it?"

Other reporters asked one after another: "I don't know if Mr. Qiao's wedding is going to be held in France or in China? I heard that Paris is the place where you met, so will you hold your wedding in France?"

Qiao Yi smiled slightly: "Let's talk about painting."
