vines growing like crazy

The author has something to say: This is a sweet article (super loud)

When Lu Sheng came out of the restaurant's bathroom, he saw the reserved seats from a distance. In addition to the artist they had appointed today, his former French teacher also came.

His teacher is also a very famous contemporary painter. When he was studying painting, this teacher had a great influence on him.

Lu Sheng walked over quickly, and after saying hello to the artist he had made an appointment with, he called the teacher respectfully, "Teacher, long time no see."

The teacher was already very old, and when he saw Lu Sheng, he had a loving face, "Ah Cheng, long time no see, Qiao Yi told me yesterday that you came to France."

When Lu Sheng heard Qiao Yi's name, his brows twitched unrecognizably, and he said, "I wanted to visit you at school, but I called Abel before, and he said you were in London recently, so I didn't go."

"I just came back from London the day before yesterday. I was really planning to come back next week, but because of this art exhibition, I came back early."

After Lu Sheng sat down, he chatted with the teacher a few more times. Tan Ziping, who was sitting next to him, suddenly remembered something, touched his arm, pointed to the mobile phone on the dining table and said, "When you went to the bathroom just now, The phone keeps ringing."

Lu Sheng turned on the phone screen and looked at it. It was two missed calls, which were from his apartment. He called back, but no one answered in the apartment. He frowned. The only people who could enter and leave his apartment were him and him. Xu Yao and Tan Ziping who was sitting next to him were right. He checked the time again, and it was now 11:30 French time.

According to the normal plan, Xu Yao should still be in the private wine cellar at this time. It takes about 15 minutes to drive from the restaurant to the private wine cellar where Xu Yao went to in the morning. In order not to be late, Lu Sheng's original estimated time He departed from the restaurant around 12:30, but now looking at the time on his phone, he felt inexplicably flustered and had a bad premonition.

He called Xu Yao again, but Xu Yao's phone was turned off.

Is this also an underground wine cellar?When they were in the underground wine cellar last time, there was no signal on the mobile phone. Lu Sheng pinched the mobile phone with his fingers and stroked the photos on the screen saver a few times, a little absent-minded.

The teacher sitting opposite Lu Sheng saw his expression staring at the phone, and had already guessed who he was calling. He asked, "Is it your boyfriend?"

In front of the teacher, Lu Sheng didn't hide anything, and nodded with a smile, "Not yet, but it should be soon, or if I ask again today, if there is no accident, I think he will agree to me."

After listening to Lu Sheng's words, the teacher laughed twice, "Then I wish you good luck first...you call first, we are not in a hurry, if the other party is okay, ask him to have lunch together, I would like to meet too."

"Okay, I'll make another call to ask." Lu Sheng called Xu Yao again, but still couldn't get through, so he called the apartment again.

This time someone answered the call very quickly, Lu Sheng was overjoyed, thinking to himself, maybe Xu Yao had finished and returned to the apartment early, if Xu Yao was fine, he was going to pick him up to have lunch with the teacher.

"Yaoyao..." There was a smile in Lu Sheng's voice, and he called softly into the phone.

There was a long period of silence, followed by a rising male voice, "Ah Cheng, it's me..."

Lu Sheng hadn't heard this voice for a long time, but he still couldn't remember it. He squeezed the phone and took a deep breath, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you in my apartment? It was you who called me from the apartment phone just now." I called?"

Qiao Yi said on the phone: "No, I didn't call you."

After listening, Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, picked up the coat that was on the chair and stood up from the chair.

Tan Ziping was startled and asked him, "Lu Sheng, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I have something to do, Ziping, you have dinner with the teachers, I have to go back and deal with it," Lu Sheng patted Tan Ziping on the shoulder, and then said to the teacher: "Sorry, teacher, I have something urgent to deal with now, maybe I can't have lunch with you."

The teacher replied very considerately, "It's okay, it should be urgent from your appearance, you go first, and bring your boyfriend with you when you have time."

"Okay, goodbye, teacher." After Lu Sheng finished speaking, he turned around in a hurry and ran out of the restaurant.

Lu Sheng prayed all the way home. Xu Yao had never met Qiao Yi. Now he regretted that he hadn't talked to Xu Yao about Qiao Yi in advance. When he turned the door lock with the key, he even Some regrets, that day when he blocked Xu Yao in the lounge of the golf course and asked Xu Yao if he would like to be with him, he shouldn't have given Xu Yao more time to make choices, he could feel Xu Yao's love for him. He also has feelings, and human eyes cannot deceive people.

He admitted that his relationship with Xu Yao started with his body, and he couldn't tell when it started to change a little bit. When he looked at Xu Yao, his heart would always start to soften involuntarily. , Maybe, it is different at first glance, there is no reason to talk about it, different is different.

But when he turned the door lock and opened the door to see Qiao Yi, the remorse just now turned into uncontrollable anger.

"Qiao Yi, why are you in my apartment, how did you get in?"

Qiao Yi stood in the middle of the living room and smiled at him, "Ah Cheng, you're back."

"Let me ask you, why are you here, where is Xu Yao?" Lu Sheng walked in, looked inside and out, but Xu Yao was not there.

"He's gone." Qiao Yi said.

Lu Sheng didn't care about Qiao Yi, he called Xu Yao again, but the phone still didn't work, he turned around and wanted to go out to find Xu Yao, but Qiao Yi grabbed his arm.

Lu Sheng shook off Qiao Yi's hand, turned around and asked Qiao Yi coldly: "I don't have much time to waste with you now, let me ask you, how did you get in here?"

Qiao Yi took out a key chain from her pocket, "Didn't you give this to me before?"

Lu Sheng snatched the key from Qiao Yi's hand, "The key is returned to me, you can go, we have already broken up, you are breaking into a private house..."

Qiao Yi's face turned ugly, and she stood beside Lu Sheng without moving, "Ah Cheng, haven't we broken up many times before, and we will reconcile in the end? Lu Sheng, let's get married!"

Lu Sheng looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Now you want to get married again, you are sure now that I didn't inherit my mother's disease, right?"

Qiao Yi's expression changed, "Ah Cheng, you...you know?"

Lu Sheng sneered, "Qiao Yi, when we broke up some time ago, I really didn't know a lot of things. After I found out later, I think it's nothing. After all, we broke up. You're right. We did break up before. There have been many times of separation and reunion, but there will be no next time."

Qiao Yi wanted to raise his hand to pull Lu Sheng, but this time he easily dodged it, and he said again: "Ah Cheng, can we still make up as before?"

Lu Sheng directly refused, without much emotion in his tone, "No."

"Is it because of that Xu Yao?" Qiao Yi thought of the person just now, and sneered, "What's so good about him, how long have you guys known each other? What about us? Ten years of relationship, can't compare to your few months?"

Lu Sheng didn't want to talk nonsense with Qiao Yi, so he said directly: "Yes, you just can't compare, you can't compare with anything..."

After listening to Lu Sheng's words, Qiao Yi's face turned blue and white, and finally turned dark. She stood there blankly and looked at Lu Sheng, speechless for a long time.

But in the end, he still took two steps in front of Lu Sheng, and slowly raised his right hand, "What about my hand? I haven't been able to draw for six years, and I only started again half a year ago. You can't compare to anything now." Is it enough? My previous hand was because of..."

Lu Sheng directly grabbed his right hand, "Back then, when your hand was injured, was it because my mother got sick and hurt you? Or did you accidentally hurt it yourself and deliberately blamed it on my mother? In order to win and threaten my guilt towards you?"

"I..." Qiao Yi wanted to withdraw his hand, "Ah Cheng, you, you, I..."

Qiao thought about you, me, and me for a long time, but he didn't say anything in the end, but his heart was already half cold.

Lu Sheng already knew everything.

Lu Sheng continued: "When we were together at the beginning, I said you were the one who wanted to get married. The first time I proposed to you was eight years ago, but there was an accident that day, and my mother suddenly fell ill. You also saw it last time, so I proposed for the first time, because my mother's illness can't be cured."

"You said that you like a free creative environment, and I will give you enough freedom. You just say that you want to find inspiration, and you can leave as soon as you say. In the next few times, you refused, and I thought you were just because of us. There is no sense of security between us, after all, our previous mode of getting along was always splitting and combining..."

"During the last two years of my mother's illness, she was often unconscious and always recognized you as me. I am very grateful to you in those years. When she kept recognizing the wrong person, you were willing to spend energy and time. To accompany her, but it was also at that time, you knew my mother's genetic disease history, and you also knew that she was abandoned by my father because she concealed her illness first. The first marriage proposal, you refused for various reasons, but you expressed your desire to get married many times, what did you think at that time? After you refused, you hinted at me to prove that I must be you? In fact, if you just Because I am afraid that I also have a mental genetic disease like my mother, I can completely understand you, after all, not everyone can bear to be with a person who may develop the disease at any time."

After a pause, Lu Sheng continued: "However, the other things you did are unforgivable. In the art exhibition competition six years ago, my mother suddenly broke in and accused me of plagiarizing her painting in public, and took out her painting. It was you who instigated me to compare my own paintings. At that time, she couldn’t tell what painting she had painted. She thought you were her son, and always regarded my paintings as hers. The person who encouraged her behind the scenes was also you. Although the media did not report it extensively in the end, and the final investigation proved that I did not plagiarize, but during that time, my mother still had a great influence on me. Before me, you It's the person who is hailed as a genius painter by others. You opened an art exhibition when you were ten years old, so what kind of mentality did you have when you were with me? A person like you will not love anyone. "

Qiao Yi retorted anxiously, "Jiang Sheng, no, I love you. I admit that I have done many wrong things in the past, but I also know now that I love you. I can't live without you. I can never leave you." I don’t draw anymore, I don’t need to draw anymore, I just want to be with you now..."

Lu Sheng interrupted Qiao Yi's words, "My name is Lu Sheng, Jiang Sheng is not your name... Also, Qiao Yi, all of these things, I inadvertently learned from the previously hidden surveillance after we broke up. As you can see, I never thought of going to trouble you, I don't think it's necessary, it's really unnecessary, but..."

As Lu Sheng said, he took two steps forward, and Qiao Yi was forced to step back step by step. He finally stood still and looked down at Qiao Yi, his tone as if ice had been quenched, "I warn you, before For the past 12 years, I am nothing now, but if you dare to play Xu Yao's idea, I will really let you never paint again..."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rain outside had stopped, and Xu Yao's phone was still unavailable. Lu Sheng still failed to appear in front of Xu Yao before the appointed time. He searched all over the place, and finally Thinking of the surveillance in the apartment, when he was on the surveillance screen, he saw Xu Yao holding the suitcase tightly with gauze-wrapped hands, and holding the umbrella in the other hand. The umbrella swayed above his head for a while, and the rain fell On his back, the back of his coat was wet, probably because it was too cold, he lowered his head and shrunk his chin, Xu Yao paused before getting into the taxi, maybe he wanted to look back, but in the end he only slightly Turning his face sideways, he got into a taxi.

Lu Sheng looked at the people in the picture, he wished he could strangle himself to death.

It was almost evening when he found out that the taxi was going to the airport, and the latest flight back home had already taken off two hours ago.

……

Lu Sheng stood in the airport lobby, looking at the people in a hurry. When he wanted to buy a plane ticket, he found that his ID was still in the apartment. He finally had to drive back. When he drove into the central block, he went the wrong way because of a lack of consciousness. He turned right one block earlier and drove onto the street of his gallery.

His original plan in the afternoon was to take Xu Yao to his gallery. Although he was not planning to hold an art exhibition yet, he originally wanted to tell him in the gallery that he was Jiang Sheng.

When the car passed by the gallery, Lu Sheng subconsciously turned his head and glanced in. After a glance, Lu Sheng stepped on the emergency brake.

A kitten hiding under the sycamore tree on the street heard the screeching sound of brakes, screamed and meowed, ran past the car, jumped onto the bench across the road, lay down and looked back glance.

Lu Sheng lowered the car window. The glass window on the outer wall of the gallery is not too big, but it is enough for him to see the people in the gallery clearly——

Standing behind the glass window, Xu Yao looked up at the paintings on the wall. Lu Cheng knew that there should be a clay sculpture beside him, but now it was blocked by Xu Yao, and he was explaining to him while standing next to Xu Yao. The person in question was a gallery manager he had hired a few years ago.

The light in the gallery was not bright, even a little dull, but Lu Sheng could clearly see the redness and swelling on his neck, as well as his right hand wrapped in gauze, probably because of pain, his right hand was resting on his body Put it in the palm of your left hand, and gently press the gauze in the palm with the fingers of your left hand. The area outside the gauze that is not covered by the gauze is exposed to a dazzling red.

Lu Sheng's heart tightened for a moment, he unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.

……

Xu Yao did go to the airport at noon, but he turned back in the end. He still wanted to see Jiang Sheng's paintings. He found a hotel in the city center and checked in. After reporting to the police station, he went to the shopping mall to buy them. I bought a new mobile phone, called my parents to report that they were safe, and took a nap in the hotel.

In the end, he went to Lu Sheng's gallery according to the scheduled itinerary. Lu Sheng said before that he wanted to show him his previous paintings. Now that he knows that Lu Sheng is Jiang Sheng, he wants to see Jiang Sheng's next time. He didn't know when it was, but he wanted to take a look for his sister. Of course, he couldn't afford Jiang Sheng's paintings. He just took a lot of photos with his mobile phone and planned to show them to his parents after taking them home.

After the boss in the gallery finished explaining Jiang Sheng's paintings for him, Xu Yao was about to leave, but he turned slightly sideways, and met the eyes of the people outside the window.

Xu Yao quickly turned his eyes away. He didn't expect to see Lu Sheng again. He originally planned to come to the gallery to have a look and then leave. He squeezed the fingers of his left hand on the gauze. Itchy.

He counted the time in his heart, and it was only a few hours later, but seeing Lu Sheng now, he now felt that he had a different mentality in his heart.

He actually didn't want to have too much contact with Lu Sheng, so he unconsciously quickened his pace, but Lu Sheng still stood in front of him, blocking his way.

Xu Yao wanted to pinch the gauze with his left hand, but Lu Sheng gently grasped his wrist, "Stop pinching, the gauze will hurt when it touches the wound, how did you get the wound on your body?"

Xu Yao didn't respond, but now he had to admit that when he heard Lu Sheng's words, his chest still couldn't hold back a soreness, and his breathing became chaotic.

He wanted to withdraw his hand, but Lu Sheng held him tightly, and said in a low voice, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry..."

Xu Yao pursed his lips. He didn't know why he said sorry. In fact, there was no need to say sorry to him. They were a relationship that could end at any time. After thinking about it, he said: "You don't need to say sorry to me. It doesn't even count..."

"Forget it, forget it..." Lu Sheng saw Xu Yao's half-drooped eyelashes trembling, and his heart ached.

Holding Xu Yao's wrist with his left hand, he slowly raised his right hand, stretched out his fingers, and touched the red and swollen place on his neck lightly. Afraid of hurting him, he finally touched his chin Mo, "I have to say I'm sorry, I didn't show up in front of you before one o'clock, and I won't miss the appointment again next time..."
