After the sea king wears into the ancient abuse text

The pianist at the Stroll bar seemed extra happy tonight.

A series of crisp and complicated notes flew happily from the stage, mixed with the smoke from the central bar, ding ding dong dong circling around the room.

It makes people want to hum along softly.

"You played waltz just now? You're so happy, what good happened?"

When Xie Qi returned to his special booth, he saw Wen Ling sitting on the seat, looking at him with a smile.

And I ordered a glass of lemonade for him in advance.

"...Maybe, I just got some good news."

Xie Qi sat down opposite him, not hiding his pleasure.

Wen Ling is very familiar, but he is not restrained.

"If Rory came tonight, he'd be happy for you."

The person across the table unpacked his bag and took out a fresh rose:

"He can't come today, so he still wants me to bring you something for him—"

"Say yes to celebrate your new life."

Rory had been looking forward to the breakup between him and Shao Lian. Apart from this, he couldn't think of anything else to celebrate.

...But he only mentioned the breakup with Shao Lian in the exhibition hall during the day, how did Rory know that?

The news is really well-informed.

Red rose.

Stained with dew, it is delicate and charming.

It could be a show of love or just romance.

Xie Qi caressed the delicate petals, thoughtfully.

"He's always taken care of me."

In an instant, Xie Qi smiled slightly.

I don't know if he was infected by the music he played, but tonight his voice is extraordinarily clear, and there is a lightness in his brows and eyes.

"At the art exhibition today——do you know Mr. Yu?"

"We met once," Xie Qi sipped his lemonade, "Mr. Yu and the owner of this bar are friends."

"Bar? This bar seems to be Xu...oh, no wonder."

Wen Ling seemed to understand it very clearly, and explained the relationship clearly and logically:

"The Yu family and the Xu family have always had a close relationship, and the Shao family is also relying on the Yu family's big mountain... Rory just told me a few days ago that you were forced to retire by Shao Lian-recently the Yu family is revising the game Since you already want to break up with Shao Lian, you don’t have to worry about him and you can continue to submit works.”

After all, games do matter.

"I will not be participating in this competition again."

Although the other party suggested it with good intentions, Xie Qi didn't want to talk about it.

This is said in a fit of anger, it seems very naive to ignore the future for the sake of old grievances, but he has always been like this.

What's more, he has tasted all the honors he deserved in his previous life, and he already has the capital to not care about all this.

Besides, there is weight in this competition, and it is not the only one in the industry.

To make achievements in the industry, there are many ways to go. Xie Qi is not really a fledgling student, so he can't afford to stare at this competition.

He wished he could keep away from Shao Lian and Xu Chi.

After the persuasion failed, Wen Ling smiled even more heartily:

"That's fine."

"Ok?"

"Before, I was worried that you were too busy to participate in the competition and didn't have time... Look at this invitation letter?"

A card with a minimal design was placed on the table.

A few curved lines are printed on it, outlining the shape of the blurred water flow.

Xie Qi recognized at a glance that this was the logo of an overseas perfume brand.

This is a new brand spun off from an old-school luxury conglomerate.When it was first established alone, there was indeed a lot of trouble. After various controversies and lawsuits, after decades of development, it finally positioned itself in the light luxury market.

Recently, this brand is actively exploring the domestic market here.

"I don't know if Rory has told you," Wen Ling turned the card in his hand, and the thin piece of paper immediately fluttered between his fingers in a daze, "After I returned to China, I opened a home design company. The studio has also taken on several projects of small size—this is the latest one.”

"I think it is more suitable for students like you to participate."

Of course he knew that Wen Ling had his own studio, and he had already known about it in advance.

The starting scale is not large, but the business is refined. Almost every project has an excellent evaluation, and its resource status in the industry has been steadily rising.

As a personal studio, it is not too fast or slow, and it is steady. Several projects are one step ahead of similar companies to meet new trends, and there is obviously behind-the-scenes support.

Although it is not as rich as the top companies in the industry, it is quite good for students if they can follow up the project in depth.

This is still second.

Xie Qi has seen Wen Ling's personal works, and has long been interested in them.

"You gave me this card... because of Rory?"

"It's not wrong to say that," Wen Ling spoke bluntly, extremely frankly,

"However, he's just a matchmaker. Rory is afraid that you won't pay attention to these things recently, so he asked me to help you pay attention to the news, and it turned out just right."

"Judging from your school background, there is probably no problem with your resume—if you have time next week and are interested, you can come to my studio for an interview."

"Oh? Then shall I go with you?"

He accepted it calmly, and even bent his eyes and asked in a teasing manner.

The pure black eyes are more clear under the moonlight.

"Okay," probably because he didn't expect him to have no hesitation or confusion at all. Wen Ling was a little surprised, but quickly adjusted his expression and continued smiling, "I'll take you there."

"Actually, I have paid attention to your works." Xie Qi's eyes flickered, "It's very unique."

This time Wen Ling really didn't expect it.

"Huh? Rory showed it to you?"

"No, I found it myself—it's easy to find." Xie Qi lowered his eyes, looking at the translucent and semi-white liquid in the cup, "The clothes you wore that day and the carvings in your room gave me... I can't tell. The similarity. After checking, it is indeed one of your design works."

He could feel Wen Ling on the opposite side looking at him carefully.

Then he heard a sincere smile: "To tell you the truth, Rory had a lot of affairs in the past, and this is the first time I think he has such a good eye."

It is not only a compliment, but also a clear statement.

Rory did a lot for Xie Qi, but it would be too far-fetched to say it was because of the camaraderie of classmates.

No one will be nice to him for no reason.

No, Wen Ling immediately came to speak for Rory.

But Xie Qi is not interested in Rory's love history.

While Rory was really nice, the half-breed advantage was evident in his looks...and those dark blue eyes.Even with Xie Qi's harsh aesthetics, it's hard to pick faults.

But it was just a little bit worse.

He couldn't say what was wrong with the trip.

Ever since he wrote the book, he has decided that after breaking up with Shao Lian, he will continue his life in the previous life - with a gorgeous voice, like a brisk drifting in the clouds.

He was in his own boat, watching all kinds of people come and go, up and down.

This is good.

The light, short-lived, continuous happiness, freshness and excitement are enough for him.

Rory was the first person he met.

No matter how you look at it so far, they can try to get off to a good start.

He could have taken Rory's rose without hesitation.

If he hadn't taken Yu Yicheng's umbrella when he left the bar that night.

So he didn't answer the conversation directly, but only slightly changed the topic a little bit, with unclear intentions:

"Speaking of which, he promised to be a model for me before, but I haven't seen him much recently."

"I've already figured out where to take pictures and paint, and it depends on whether he thinks it's good or not."

"him--"

"Who are you going to paint for?"

As soon as Wen Ling spoke, another male voice cut in.

hiss.

Why is he here.

Xie Qi frowned and looked at Shao Lian standing outside the booth.

"Are you here to find me?"

"Otherwise, who else can we turn to—Xie Qi!" Shao Lian directly pulled away the rattan around the deck and squeezed to his side, "I already told Xu Chi today that I made you retire without telling him , he doesn’t know, the current withdrawal application can be invalidated, and I don’t know that you work part-time here-what’s so good about you here? How much money can you earn by playing the piano for so long and tired? With me Go back, we're still the same as before—"

His tone was hasty, his hair was still a little messy, but in such a cold day, sweat was dripping from his forehead.

"I don't want to repeat the same thing again," Xie Qi only looked at him quietly, and pushed a tissue towards him from a distance:

"Shao Lian, let me go."

He became that soft-spoken Xie Qi again.

It's just that Shao Lian couldn't believe what he said.

"Is it because of the painting?" He forced a smile, "You threw the painting on the second floor, and I recognized it. You have been preparing to use this painting for a competition, haven't you?"

He took out the framed painting.

"I...didn't notice...Xu Chi's painting is a bit similar to this one..." In fact, it's more than just a resemblance. Shao Lian is also from the art department, and has been working with the Shao family for several years. How could he not see Xu Chi the meaning of.

Only tonight did it dawn on him.

"Not like." Xie Qi sighed as if he was very tired:

"One is showing off, the other is daydreaming, how could it be like that."

"..." Shao Lian stared at him blankly, as if he had never known him before.

"The paintings that I have thrown away, I will never ask for again."

Xie Qi finished speaking in a gentle voice, and took the painting that had gone through twists and turns.

Snapped!

"Thank you Qi!"

Everyone present was caught off guard.

This poor painting.The glass mounted on the outside has been torn apart, and the cold lemonade unceremoniously sneaked into the surface of the drawing paper, wanton revelry.

The once bright colors are reluctantly blurred.

He looked up and saw that the corners of Shao Lian's eyes were red.

strange.

But he was already bored, and he didn't want to say any more, even the interest in mocking the man in front of him disappeared.

"What's going on?"

The sound just now was not small, and it alarmed the people on the second floor.

"Brother Yu." Shao Lian came back to greet him, and then returned to his absent-minded appearance.

"Don't bring your personal emotions to public places," Yu Yicheng said to Shao Lian, breaking the deadlock with a few words, "Go and change your clothes first."

Just now, Xie Qi didn't restrain his movements, and the drink mercilessly splashed all over Shao Lian.

Xu Shi felt embarrassed, but Shao Lian didn't continue to pester her.

"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry." Xie Qi picked up a tissue to wipe the water stains on the table.

A stack of banknotes was placed on the table, blocking his hand.

Ah, Yu Yicheng always gives him a tip.

He almost forgot.

"You played very well today." Yu Yicheng spoke slowly, and his tone was as pleasing to him as ever.

of course.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"But "An Invitation to Dance" was dedicated by the composer to his wife - I was a little surprised that you liked it."

Xie Qi's smile froze.

He did play the second bar of "An Invitation to Dance" tonight.

This is a birthday gift Weber made for his wife, and it is naturally considered a symbol of love.

What about love - loyal, long-lasting, dedicated.

Every word is an antonym of his life.

"What?" His tone was slightly cold, and he glanced at Yu Yicheng.

"It's nothing, I'm looking forward to your next performance." Yu Yicheng paused, then returned to a businesslike, superior tone, "But when you come back to the bar, you'd better deal with your personal affairs first, and don't really cause any trouble."

The kid in front of him is still entangled in peach blossoms all over his body, how could he dare to provoke him?

He really didn't miss it before.

This kid is used to frivolity.

Xie Qi watched Yu Yicheng leave with wide eyes.

"Hey, Mr. Yu is indeed a young talent, and he behaves very decently—" Wen Ling, who looked like an invisible person beside him, finally made a sound, with unknown meaning, "However, the Yu family and the Shao family have a good relationship. You just got along with Shao Lian. Break up, it's best not to go into the muddy water around him."

"I see."

Xie Qi put the wine glass on the table, and turned a pretty face:

"gone back."

The author has something to say: Xie Qi: He is teaching me how to do things?Who does he think he is?
