It was already two or three o'clock in the morning, Lin An couldn't let Qi Tang go back alone, and still let Assistant Tian follow behind him silently in the car.
Lin An didn't return to his villa until the windows of Qi Tang's house were lit.
He hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was lying lazily on the sofa, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass window in front of him.
He just looked at the city quietly, put his hand on his heart, and stroked it with his fingertips.
As if there is something very precious there.
Assistant Tian stood behind Lin An, he always felt that the husband was so lonely.
Ever since Qi Tang left, the husband has changed, as if he has aged and haggard all of a sudden.
Although my husband is still serious and responsible when dealing with the company, he always feels that he lacks enthusiasm.
"What's going on with those bastards." Lin An's voice was very soft, rubbing his temples to relieve his headache.
Assistant Tian was stunned for a moment. Usually, for things like this, Mr. always let his subordinates handle it, and never asked.
Because it is unnecessary and a waste of time.
Today's anomaly must be due to such trivial matters, involving Mr. Qi Xiao.
Assistant Tian said: "Mr. Qi Xiao's younger brother, Qi Zhou, provoked some powerful people at school, and the other party wanted him to retaliate. Those gangsters followed Qi Zhou to find the studio."
Lin An frowned: "Where are people from Qizhou?"
Assistant Tian: "I took a sum of money from Mr. Qi Xiao and returned to China."
Lin An didn't speak.
He only realized now how much he didn't care about Qi Tang, he didn't even know that Qi Tang had a younger brother.
An inexplicable sourness rose from his heart, making Lin An's throat congested.
He pressed the position of his heart and stroked it, only to feel that he could catch his breath a little.
Assistant Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I also found something else."
Lin An didn't raise his eyes: "Say."
Assistant Tian: "The matter of Qizhou seems to be instigated by someone behind the scenes. I followed along and finally touched your stepmother's head."
Lin An opened his eyes suddenly, his face was frighteningly gloomy.
Assistant Tian's voice continued:
"I wonder if Mrs. Lin wants to use Qi Tang to restrain you, but Qi Tang's temperament makes it difficult for people to find openings to attack, so she started with Qi Zhou."
The air pressure in Lin An's body dropped a lot. He lowered his eyes and didn't move for a long time.
Assistant Tian stopped talking and didn't bother, he knew that the husband was very angry.
In the past few years in the Lin family, he has seen too many tricks by Mrs. Lin. She is disgusting and despicable, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.
At the beginning, the husband did not disclose the identity of Mr. Qi Xiao's lover, and there was also this part of consideration in it - he was afraid that Mr. Qi Xiao would become a living target for the Lin family's mother and son.
As an outsider, Assistant Tian actually sees things more clearly than anyone else.
The first thing Mr. sees is the overall situation, and the first thing he takes care of is the overall situation.
In addition to being unable to let go of half his life's painstaking efforts, the husband also understands that no matter whether he will be with Qi Tang forever or not, the Lin family is a cancer that he needs to get rid of.
Because Mrs. Lin and Lin Sheng are both lunatics, it's hard to predict what they will do.
As for Mr. Qi Xiao, as a romantic painter, the first thing he sees is emotion and sincerity.
But in this respect, Lin An just didn't do well, because he had never loved or been loved by anyone.
Assistant Tian couldn't judge the right and wrong of these two people.
Because they are using their own standards to measure in this relationship.
But Assistant Tian couldn't say that the husband was right.
From an emotional and moral point of view, it is wrong to play with one's heart.
And it's so wrong to hurt someone who loves you so hard.
After a while, Lin An stood up, went to the balcony and made a phone call.
Assistant Tian listened in the room, and could only vaguely catch a little sound, so he could guess what happened on the phone.
At first, the husband seemed very angry, going crazy, arguing with the person on the other end of the phone.
Later, the voice became quieter, gradually calmed down, and then slowly compromised, as if using the company to make a deal.
After the phone call was over, when Lin An came in again, his face was already full of exhaustion.
"Book a plane ticket and go home."
In the past few days, Qi Tang lived very comfortably, except for the settlement of the studio, he never saw Lin An again.
But it's normal, Lin An's love for him is not love, Lin An is just greedy for his love and the pleasure he brings.
Now he can no longer make Lin An happy, and instead wants to counterattack and take revenge. He has become a burden.
Lin An is so calculating, so good at weighing the pros and cons, it is normal to abandon him now.
Now Qi Tang is starting to feel a little bit new, everything is on the right track and getting better.
Revenge doesn't seem to matter anymore.
It turns out that people's state of mind really changes with time, no wonder it is said that time can heal everything.
He thought, as long as Lin An didn't continue to pester him and hid in a place where he couldn't see, he could let this person go.
This is also letting go of yourself,
Another thing that makes Qi Tang happy is that he has a new roommate.
This means that he no longer has to bear the high rent alone and can save a lot of money.
But what surprised Qi Tang was that this new roommate never showed up, and even moved things in while he was away.
Qi Tang didn't think deeply, there are many weird people in this world, and he doesn't have the heart to deal with interpersonal relationships now.
Because this urban area is about to hold an international authoritative art competition.
He's going to take part, but he doesn't qualify right now.
Because of this competition, you must have the recommendation of an authoritative person before you can sign up.
Qi Tang doesn't know any authority, and he's only now beginning to realize the importance of luck that Lin An and Lu Ting talked about before.
It's like, you want to pick an apple from the tree, and you can get it, but you lack a ladder.
Now Qi Tang lacks such a ladder.
Just when he was very worried, Qin Xiao came and asked him if he wanted to participate in this art competition.
Qi Tang nodded in affirmation, then Qin Xiao directly pulled him into the car, saying that he would take him to meet someone.
Sitting in the car, Qi Tang looked at the immature face of the child and asked:
"Who are you seeing? Is that your brother again? I don't want to go on blind dates."
Qin Xiao kept a straight face: "Don't worry, I won't take you on a blind date this time."
He added: "Do you remember that on the plane, I told you that I knew an authority and wanted to show him your painting?"
Qi Tang recalled a little: "Yes."
The scenery outside the window is passing by quickly. This season, the leaves on the street are very green, and the wind is very soft, which makes people feel comfortable.
Qin Xiao said: "Actually, he was the one who put your painting into the competition where you won the prize. I'm going to take you to meet him today."
Qi Tang smiled lightly, all right, then he will wait and see what kind of authority the child knows.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of an ancient house.
The two got out of the car, and Qin Xiao led Qi Tang inside: "He is very easy-going, so take it easy."
Qi Tang's face was gentle, he was not nervous.
Looking at this house, it is also very novel to see such a gorgeous building abroad.
And there are pools and lotus in the yard, which is very chic and elegant, and also very artistic.
It can be seen that the other party should also be a person who is proficient in art, and has high taste and style.
For a moment, Qi Tang looked forward to it.
Passing through the small courtyard and entering the inner hall, Qi Tang saw an old man with gray hair sitting in the room from afar.
When he got closer, he found that although the old man had gray hair and beard, there were not many wrinkles on his face.
Especially those eyes, sharp as an eagle, but with a kind and easy-going light.
Qin Xiao stopped in front of the old man, looked back at Qi Tang and said:
"This is my grandfather Qin Qian. You should have heard of him. He used to be a very good painter, and of course he is now."
There was undisguised pride in the child's tone.
Qi Tang's eyes are bright and bright, how could someone who likes to draw not know Qin Qian.
If the top painter in China is Zhang Yan, then Qin Qian is more powerful than Zhang Yan.
He belongs to Zhang Yan's previous generation.
Belonging to the generation that made this industry famous in the world is worthy of everyone's respect.
Qin Qian has become the belief in the hearts of domestic painters, big and small.
Qi Tang's calm heart finally stirred up waves. He concealed his excitement and said solemnly:
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I like you very much."
Right now, Qi Tang has the feeling of chasing stars and realizing her dreams.
Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Qin Qian smiled at him:
"Sit down, don't be too polite, just take it as it is, go to your friend's house to visit your friend's grandpa."
Qi Tang sat down as he said, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet down now.
Qin Xiao leaned over triumphantly, and whispered something in his ear: "No prospect."
Then he left the hall, leaving only the two of them behind.
Qin Qian took a sip of tea, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I have seen your paintings, and you are a rare good seedling."
Qi Tang knew that he had a certain amount of talent, but he still felt a little 'unworthy' when Qin Qian praised him so much.
"You are too much." He found that his speech became formulaic, but he couldn't help it, he just couldn't help being a little nervous.
Qin Qian smiled: "I'm old, but I still want to cultivate a few more talents. It's okay if I didn't see them before, but I saw such a good seedling. The old man's heart is itching."
"I want to take you with me and teach you how to draw. Would you like to follow me?"
Qi Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he said every word very seriously:
"Of course, you will be my teacher from now on."
Qin Qian nodded in satisfaction, put down the teacup and said: "There will be an international art competition soon, you should prepare, I will recommend you to enter."
This kind of unexpected joy was something Qi Tang did not expect, and there was light in his eyes: "Good teacher."
Perhaps, Lin An and Zhang Yan are right, luck is really important.
But even so, this luck was earned by himself. Qi Tang still disagreed with Lin An's actions and felt ashamed.
The room was quiet for a short while, then Qin Qian said again: "Qin Xiao, are you teaching him how to draw?"
Qi Tang couldn't deny it: "Well, he likes to draw very much, so I will teach him a little bit once in a while."
Qin Qian looked at him: "Then you also found out."
Qi Tang was startled.
"I found out that he has no talent." Qin Qian looked calm.
Qi Tang lowered his eyes: "Yes."
Sighing, Qin Qian said, "I hope you don't teach him any more."
Qi Tang didn't understand: "Why?"
Qin Qian looked aside: "To become a successful painter, you need 90.00% sweat and [-]% talent."
"Many people focus on the 90.00% effort, but in fact, it is the one percent that ultimately plays a decisive role."
Qi Tang didn't speak, he couldn't deny this statement.
Qin Qian's voice was old: "Xiao Xiao, he is influenced by me, so he loves painting so much, but he has no talent, do you know what this means?"
Qi Tang was very calm: "It means that no matter how hard he works, even if he spends his whole life working hard and struggling in this industry, he will not be able to reach the top."
Qin Qian nodded: "Yes. You see it very clearly."
"So, instead of letting him discover this by himself in the rest of his life and suffering endlessly, it is better to cut off his dream when he is still young."
Qi Tang frowned slowly, he didn't quite agree with this approach.
Qin Qian added: "It's like a bird with damaged nerves, destined to be unable to fly, but it has a pair of empty wings, and can only look at the blue sky every day, and it becomes painful over time. I don't want Qin Xiao to experience such a feeling. Life."
The room was quiet for a while, even if Qin Qian didn't speak clearly, Qi Tang understood what he meant.
However, to break a young man's wings, especially when he is most hopeful about his dreams and life, Qi Tang can't do such a cruel thing.
"Sorry, Mr. Qin, I don't agree with you on this matter."
Qi Tang is neither humble nor overbearing, her voice is soft but powerful:
"Qin Xiao likes painting. I believe that even if he can't reach the top in his whole life, he will still be happy."
Qin Qian looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, shook his head after sighing:
"Don't talk about this, I will make plans for him."
Qin Qian stood up, pointed at Qi Tang before walking and said:
"You, see things very clearly, but your heart is too soft. This will hurt yourself sooner or later."
Qi Tang also stood up and respectfully sent the old man away, he could not deny this.
But he believes that most people in the world will not be hard-hearted.
At least he won't be as hard-hearted as the old man - how could he bear to break his grandson's dream with his own hands.
Now Qi Tang understands why Qin Xiao's family has such a background, but he could only stay in Lu Ting's small studio before. It is hard to say that Qin Qian is not behind it.
He can probably guess Qin Qian's thoughts: instead of letting Qin Xiao mess around, it's better for him to make arrangements for his grandson, at least Qin Xiao is under his control.
When Qi Tang walked out of Qin's house, his previous joy was gone.
He understood that Qin Qian's cruelty was also a kind of protection for Qin Xiao. Although he disagreed, he could not interfere in other people's family affairs.
He just sympathized with Qin Xiao.
"My grandpa is very nice, he appreciates you very much."
After getting into the car, Qin Xiao was fiddling with the latest paint in his hand while chatting with him.
Qi Tang's expression was very calm: "Yeah."
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Xiao was keenly aware of something.
Qi Tang looked at him and suddenly said:
"If you really like painting, you should show your love, your persistence, and your enthusiasm to your family, and let them understand that you like painting, even if you are ordinary all your life, you are willing .Because it has nothing to do with future or fame, you just love it.”
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then slowly came to his senses, the child lowered his head, and his voice became much lower:
"I understand. I will find a time to show my determination to my grandfather."
Neither of them spoke anymore, Qin Xiao sent Qi Tang home, and then left.
Qi Tang took out the key and was about to open the door, but found that the door was open.
Is there anyone in the house?
Is it his mysterious roommate?
Qi Tang pushed open the door softly, looked around after entering the room, but didn't see anyone.
"Excuse me? Is anyone there?" He called out politely.
After a while, the room was still quiet, Qi Tang walked to the door of another room, raised his hand to knock, and asked in English: "Hello?"
There was a sound of 'dong', obviously someone was in the room, but I don't know why they didn't reply to him.
Qi Tang thinks that maybe this roommate doesn't like to socialize with others, but it's just a co-rental relationship.
Moreover, the French in this area seem to be quite indifferent to foreigners.
He didn't need to send it up to post a cold ass.
After tidying up the refrigerator and the tabletop, Qi Tang went back to the room and took a nap for a while, when he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening in the dimness.
When he got up again, he found a bottle of Huaguo's chili sauce on the table in the living room.
There is also a note under the bottle: small gift greetings, as a sign of friendship.
Qi Tang smiled lightly, it seems that this neighbor is quite a nice person, maybe he is a little shy.
He put the chili sauce in the refrigerator, wrapped the biscuits he made in the oven last time, and put a little at the neighbor's door.
Also wrote a note: rebate friendly.
Then went to the studio.
When the door was slammed shut, a person came out of the living room. He held the bag of biscuits in his hand and kept playing with his slender fingertips.
The expression on his face was completely gentle.
Lin An sat on the sofa, took a bite of the biscuit, and smiled with foxy eyes.
It's been a long time since I had a dessert made by a child.
In the past, Qi Tang often made it for him, but at that time he always felt that this kind of thing was time-consuming and laborious, and he didn't like desserts, so he only ate a little perfunctorily every time.
Only now did Lin An realize what was contained in these things, and only now did he realize how precious these little biscuits were.
But tasted it as a stranger.
He was very sour in his heart, but he could only bear it.
Moving into the same room with Qi Tang, his original intention was to create a chance for the two to be together.
At the same time, protect the children from the Lin family.
But when he actually saw Qi Tang appearing in this family, Lin An was inexplicably afraid.
What if Qi Tang saw him and wanted to move away?What if I lose control of my emotions again?
It was the first time Lin An's thoughts were so complicated, no wonder love would be terrified.
He thought, let's just accompany him silently in the dark.
He is very happy to see the child every day and live in the same room with him.
This is to satisfy his own selfish/desire, so there is no need to let Qi Tang know.
He also didn't want to see the children sad and sad again.
During this period of time, Qi Tang began to feel better, and Qin Qian would come to the studio to give him advice when he was free.
The competition is also progressing, and the old man said that his name has been reported.
Since that competition was a live painting, Qi Tang has nothing to do now.
Qin Qian said that it was the first time he saw such a young man who was not impetuous, he was in a good state of mind, and hoped that he would keep it up, and recommended some books.
Qi Tang followed the list of books given by the old man, went to the library to find them one by one, and then read them carefully.
Before the start of the competition, all he needs to do is to let go of himself and adjust his brain and heart to an optimal level, so that the works he draws will be full of aura.
But Qi Tang always felt that no matter where he went recently, there was a faint stare following him.
Although it didn't feel dangerous, he was uncomfortable, as if he was being watched and had no freedom.
What's even more strange is that his neighbor has moved in for three or four days, but he has never seen anyone.
I thought it was a difficult person to get along with, but I often saw notes and small gifts left by that person on the dining table.
In desperation, Qi Tang felt a little novel, and also a little indescribably happy.
Because of those notes and gifts, he felt that he was no longer alone in this empty room.
The feeling of emptiness and loneliness in a foreign country is also gone.
And that neighbor seems to know what he likes very well, and every time the small gifts left behind are very suitable for Qi Tang.
After a while, the art competition will start soon.
Qi Tang won No.1 in the last competition, coupled with his good looks, he quickly received a wave of attention in China.
But Qi Tang doesn't care about these things, what he dislikes the most is fandom.
If fans come only because of his appearance, he would rather not have fans, and would rather draw quietly by himself without being noticed by anyone.
On the day of the match, Qi Tang walked into the arena in a black shirt as before.
Such an international and authoritative large-scale event, there are a lot of media crowded at the door, from all over the world, and the flashing lights stretch for a long distance, making people's eyes a little hurt.
They all understand that new stars in the future art world are about to be born here, so they are full of expectations and concerns for this competition.
Huaguo's media was also there, and after recognizing Qi Tang, they wanted to interview him for a few words.
Qi Tang just smiled lightly at the camera, and then said:
"This is my own battlefield, but if I can win the award, the glory will belong to all of us."
As soon as this video was broadcast, it immediately became a hot search on Weibo.
Netizens' messages are all: It's on fire!It's on fire!We wait for your glory!
Qi Tang walked into the arena calmly, his whole body shining like a star.
Lin An stood in the corner and watched, with deep and gentle fox eyes.
He knew that his little friend would one day become an attention-grabbing existence.
But when the day really came, he felt uncomfortable again.
Because his little friend is no longer his own little friend, and no longer only he can see it alone.
Soon, dark clouds suddenly began to gather in the sky, and the heavy rain in summer always caught people off guard.
Most people chose to leave, or stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain.
Lin An didn't move, he wanted to be the first to welcome his little friend out.
He just stood in the corner like that, the pattering raindrops hit him, soaking his white shirt.
Assistant Tian held up an umbrella for him: "Sir, I will get sick."
Lin An didn't speak.
In this way, from morning to evening, when the sky gradually darkened, people finally began to come out of the house one after another.
Lin An frowned and looked at it seriously. He believed that as soon as Qi Tang appeared, he would recognize him immediately.
Until the people at the door gradually dispersed, until it got dark, until the museum was about to close.
Lin An was a little anxious.
He felt like an old father who was waiting for his child to leave the examination room.
A little girl with an umbrella came over and called him sweetly: "Uncle, who are you waiting for?"
Lin An looked down, rubbed her head, and smiled with foxy eyes:
"Uncle is waiting for Uncle's little lover."
The little girl said again: "Has the uncle's little lover come out?"
Lin An raised his head and glanced at the door, when Qi Tang just came out.
He smiled and handed an umbrella to the little girl: "Come out."
Pointing to the person at the door, Lin An said:
"Little cutie, can you send the umbrella over to my uncle? My uncle had a fight with his lover. He will get angry when he sees his uncle."
The little girl glanced in the direction he pointed: "Is that the brother in the black shirt? He's so handsome."
Lin An smiled even wider: "Yes."
The little girl said: "Well, my parents often quarrel, and they don't want to see each other when they quarrel. I'm used to this kind of thing."
While complaining, the little guy took the umbrella and ran towards Qi Tang with two short legs.
Lin An was afraid that Qi Tang would be in a bad mood when he saw him, so he hurried into the car, and watched quietly through the glass.
On the other side, the little girl successfully delivered the umbrella to Qi Tang.
"Brother, someone asked me to bring you an umbrella."
Qi Tang took it and looked around but found no one he knew.
He bent down and touched the little girl's head: "Who asked you to give the umbrella?"
The little girl's voice is very milky, and her tone is also very cute: "Brother, you have to trust your first instinct for this kind of thing. Who do you think will care if you don't have an umbrella when it's raining?"
Of course it's someone who loves you.
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, and ran away holding a small umbrella.
Qi Tang frowned, a little puzzled, he even wondered if the child was ignorant and gave the wrong umbrella.
Later, Qi Tang didn't use that umbrella, he leaned it against the wall, and then took a taxi to go home.
Lin An watched silently, and after Qi Tang left, he got out of the car and took the umbrella back.
He looked down, and there was a post-it note on the handle of the umbrella. The handwriting on it was neat and correct:
If you send the wrong umbrella, anyone who knows it can pick it up.
Lin An stood in the rain for a while, then turned around and said to Assistant Tian, "Let's go."
The author has something to say:
Let’s walk through Tangtang’s career line QVQ
The matter of the Lin family is just a dark thread, it won't be bloody and it won't be concrete, don't worry QVQ
感谢在2021-12-0323:23:25~2021-12-0423:29:12期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 5 bottles of reading books; 2 bottles of zanr;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Lin An didn't return to his villa until the windows of Qi Tang's house were lit.
He hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was lying lazily on the sofa, with a large floor-to-ceiling glass window in front of him.
He just looked at the city quietly, put his hand on his heart, and stroked it with his fingertips.
As if there is something very precious there.
Assistant Tian stood behind Lin An, he always felt that the husband was so lonely.
Ever since Qi Tang left, the husband has changed, as if he has aged and haggard all of a sudden.
Although my husband is still serious and responsible when dealing with the company, he always feels that he lacks enthusiasm.
"What's going on with those bastards." Lin An's voice was very soft, rubbing his temples to relieve his headache.
Assistant Tian was stunned for a moment. Usually, for things like this, Mr. always let his subordinates handle it, and never asked.
Because it is unnecessary and a waste of time.
Today's anomaly must be due to such trivial matters, involving Mr. Qi Xiao.
Assistant Tian said: "Mr. Qi Xiao's younger brother, Qi Zhou, provoked some powerful people at school, and the other party wanted him to retaliate. Those gangsters followed Qi Zhou to find the studio."
Lin An frowned: "Where are people from Qizhou?"
Assistant Tian: "I took a sum of money from Mr. Qi Xiao and returned to China."
Lin An didn't speak.
He only realized now how much he didn't care about Qi Tang, he didn't even know that Qi Tang had a younger brother.
An inexplicable sourness rose from his heart, making Lin An's throat congested.

Lin An opened his eyes suddenly, his face was frighteningly gloomy.
Assistant Tian's voice continued:
"I wonder if Mrs. Lin wants to use Qi Tang to restrain you, but Qi Tang's temperament makes it difficult for people to find openings to attack, so she started with Qi Zhou."
The air pressure in Lin An's body dropped a lot. He lowered his eyes and didn't move for a long time.
Assistant Tian stopped talking and didn't bother, he knew that the husband was very angry.

The first thing Mr. sees is the overall situation, and the first thing he takes care of is the overall situation.
In addition to being unable to let go of half his life's painstaking efforts, the husband also understands that no matter whether he will be with Qi Tang forever or not, the Lin family is a cancer that he needs to get rid of.

"Book a plane ticket and go home."
In the past few days, Qi Tang lived very comfortably, except for the settlement of the studio, he never saw Lin An again.
But it's normal, Lin An's love for him is not love, Lin An is just greedy for his love and the pleasure he brings.
Now he can no longer make Lin An happy, and instead wants to counterattack and take revenge. He has become a burden.
Lin An is so calculating, so good at weighing the pros and cons, it is normal to abandon him now.
Now Qi Tang is starting to feel a little bit new, everything is on the right track and getting better.
Revenge doesn't seem to matter anymore.
It turns out that people's state of mind really changes with time, no wonder it is said that time can heal everything.

This means that he no longer has to bear the high rent alone and can save a lot of money.
But what surprised Qi Tang was that this new roommate never showed up, and even moved things in while he was away.
Qi Tang didn't think deeply, there are many weird people in this world, and he doesn't have the heart to deal with interpersonal relationships now.
Because this urban area is about to hold an international authoritative art competition.
He's going to take part, but he doesn't qualify right now.
Because of this competition, you must have the recommendation of an authoritative person before you can sign up.
Qi Tang doesn't know any authority, and he's only now beginning to realize the importance of luck that Lin An and Lu Ting talked about before.
It's like, you want to pick an apple from the tree, and you can get it, but you lack a ladder.
Now Qi Tang lacks such a ladder.
Just when he was very worried, Qin Xiao came and asked him if he wanted to participate in this art competition.
Qi Tang nodded in affirmation, then Qin Xiao directly pulled him into the car, saying that he would take him to meet someone.
Sitting in the car, Qi Tang looked at the immature face of the child and asked:

Qi Tang smiled lightly, all right, then he will wait and see what kind of authority the child knows.
Soon, the car stopped at the gate of an ancient house.
The two got out of the car, and Qin Xiao led Qi Tang inside: "He is very easy-going, so take it easy."
Qi Tang's face was gentle, he was not nervous.
Looking at this house, it is also very novel to see such a gorgeous building abroad.
And there are pools and lotus in the yard, which is very chic and elegant, and also very artistic.
It can be seen that the other party should also be a person who is proficient in art, and has high taste and style.
For a moment, Qi Tang looked forward to it.
Passing through the small courtyard and entering the inner hall, Qi Tang saw an old man with gray hair sitting in the room from afar.
When he got closer, he found that although the old man had gray hair and beard, there were not many wrinkles on his face.
Especially those eyes, sharp as an eagle, but with a kind and easy-going light.
Qin Xiao stopped in front of the old man, looked back at Qi Tang and said:
"This is my grandfather Qin Qian. You should have heard of him. He used to be a very good painter, and of course he is now."
There was undisguised pride in the child's tone.
Qi Tang's eyes are bright and bright, how could someone who likes to draw not know Qin Qian.
If the top painter in China is Zhang Yan, then Qin Qian is more powerful than Zhang Yan.
He belongs to Zhang Yan's previous generation.
Belonging to the generation that made this industry famous in the world is worthy of everyone's respect.
Qin Qian has become the belief in the hearts of domestic painters, big and small.
Qi Tang's calm heart finally stirred up waves. He concealed his excitement and said solemnly:
"Hello, Mr. Qin, I like you very much."
Right now, Qi Tang has the feeling of chasing stars and realizing her dreams.
Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Qin Qian smiled at him:
"Sit down, don't be too polite, just take it as it is, go to your friend's house to visit your friend's grandpa."
Qi Tang sat down as he said, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet down now.
Qin Xiao leaned over triumphantly, and whispered something in his ear: "No prospect."
Then he left the hall, leaving only the two of them behind.
Qin Qian took a sip of tea, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I have seen your paintings, and you are a rare good seedling."
Qi Tang knew that he had a certain amount of talent, but he still felt a little 'unworthy' when Qin Qian praised him so much.
"You are too much." He found that his speech became formulaic, but he couldn't help it, he just couldn't help being a little nervous.
Qin Qian smiled: "I'm old, but I still want to cultivate a few more talents. It's okay if I didn't see them before, but I saw such a good seedling. The old man's heart is itching."
"I want to take you with me and teach you how to draw. Would you like to follow me?"
Qi Tang was stunned for a moment, and then he said every word very seriously:
"Of course, you will be my teacher from now on."
Qin Qian nodded in satisfaction, put down the teacup and said: "There will be an international art competition soon, you should prepare, I will recommend you to enter."
This kind of unexpected joy was something Qi Tang did not expect, and there was light in his eyes: "Good teacher."
Perhaps, Lin An and Zhang Yan are right, luck is really important.
But even so, this luck was earned by himself. Qi Tang still disagreed with Lin An's actions and felt ashamed.
The room was quiet for a short while, then Qin Qian said again: "Qin Xiao, are you teaching him how to draw?"
Qi Tang couldn't deny it: "Well, he likes to draw very much, so I will teach him a little bit once in a while."
Qin Qian looked at him: "Then you also found out."
Qi Tang was startled.
"I found out that he has no talent." Qin Qian looked calm.
Qi Tang lowered his eyes: "Yes."
Sighing, Qin Qian said, "I hope you don't teach him any more."
Qi Tang didn't understand: "Why?"
Qin Qian looked aside: "To become a successful painter, you need 90.00% sweat and [-]% talent."
"Many people focus on the 90.00% effort, but in fact, it is the one percent that ultimately plays a decisive role."
Qi Tang didn't speak, he couldn't deny this statement.
Qin Qian's voice was old: "Xiao Xiao, he is influenced by me, so he loves painting so much, but he has no talent, do you know what this means?"
Qi Tang was very calm: "It means that no matter how hard he works, even if he spends his whole life working hard and struggling in this industry, he will not be able to reach the top."
Qin Qian nodded: "Yes. You see it very clearly."
"So, instead of letting him discover this by himself in the rest of his life and suffering endlessly, it is better to cut off his dream when he is still young."
Qi Tang frowned slowly, he didn't quite agree with this approach.
Qin Qian added: "It's like a bird with damaged nerves, destined to be unable to fly, but it has a pair of empty wings, and can only look at the blue sky every day, and it becomes painful over time. I don't want Qin Xiao to experience such a feeling. Life."
The room was quiet for a while, even if Qin Qian didn't speak clearly, Qi Tang understood what he meant.
However, to break a young man's wings, especially when he is most hopeful about his dreams and life, Qi Tang can't do such a cruel thing.
"Sorry, Mr. Qin, I don't agree with you on this matter."
Qi Tang is neither humble nor overbearing, her voice is soft but powerful:
"Qin Xiao likes painting. I believe that even if he can't reach the top in his whole life, he will still be happy."
Qin Qian looked at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled, shook his head after sighing:
"Don't talk about this, I will make plans for him."
Qin Qian stood up, pointed at Qi Tang before walking and said:
"You, see things very clearly, but your heart is too soft. This will hurt yourself sooner or later."
Qi Tang also stood up and respectfully sent the old man away, he could not deny this.
But he believes that most people in the world will not be hard-hearted.
At least he won't be as hard-hearted as the old man - how could he bear to break his grandson's dream with his own hands.
Now Qi Tang understands why Qin Xiao's family has such a background, but he could only stay in Lu Ting's small studio before. It is hard to say that Qin Qian is not behind it.
He can probably guess Qin Qian's thoughts: instead of letting Qin Xiao mess around, it's better for him to make arrangements for his grandson, at least Qin Xiao is under his control.
When Qi Tang walked out of Qin's house, his previous joy was gone.
He understood that Qin Qian's cruelty was also a kind of protection for Qin Xiao. Although he disagreed, he could not interfere in other people's family affairs.
He just sympathized with Qin Xiao.
"My grandpa is very nice, he appreciates you very much."
After getting into the car, Qin Xiao was fiddling with the latest paint in his hand while chatting with him.
Qi Tang's expression was very calm: "Yeah."
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Xiao was keenly aware of something.
Qi Tang looked at him and suddenly said:
"If you really like painting, you should show your love, your persistence, and your enthusiasm to your family, and let them understand that you like painting, even if you are ordinary all your life, you are willing .Because it has nothing to do with future or fame, you just love it.”
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then slowly came to his senses, the child lowered his head, and his voice became much lower:
"I understand. I will find a time to show my determination to my grandfather."
Neither of them spoke anymore, Qin Xiao sent Qi Tang home, and then left.
Qi Tang took out the key and was about to open the door, but found that the door was open.
Is there anyone in the house?
Is it his mysterious roommate?
Qi Tang pushed open the door softly, looked around after entering the room, but didn't see anyone.
"Excuse me? Is anyone there?" He called out politely.
After a while, the room was still quiet, Qi Tang walked to the door of another room, raised his hand to knock, and asked in English: "Hello?"
There was a sound of 'dong', obviously someone was in the room, but I don't know why they didn't reply to him.
Qi Tang thinks that maybe this roommate doesn't like to socialize with others, but it's just a co-rental relationship.
Moreover, the French in this area seem to be quite indifferent to foreigners.
He didn't need to send it up to post a cold ass.
After tidying up the refrigerator and the tabletop, Qi Tang went back to the room and took a nap for a while, when he seemed to hear the sound of the door opening in the dimness.
When he got up again, he found a bottle of Huaguo's chili sauce on the table in the living room.
There is also a note under the bottle: small gift greetings, as a sign of friendship.
Qi Tang smiled lightly, it seems that this neighbor is quite a nice person, maybe he is a little shy.
He put the chili sauce in the refrigerator, wrapped the biscuits he made in the oven last time, and put a little at the neighbor's door.
Also wrote a note: rebate friendly.
Then went to the studio.
When the door was slammed shut, a person came out of the living room. He held the bag of biscuits in his hand and kept playing with his slender fingertips.
The expression on his face was completely gentle.
Lin An sat on the sofa, took a bite of the biscuit, and smiled with foxy eyes.
It's been a long time since I had a dessert made by a child.
In the past, Qi Tang often made it for him, but at that time he always felt that this kind of thing was time-consuming and laborious, and he didn't like desserts, so he only ate a little perfunctorily every time.
Only now did Lin An realize what was contained in these things, and only now did he realize how precious these little biscuits were.
But tasted it as a stranger.
He was very sour in his heart, but he could only bear it.
Moving into the same room with Qi Tang, his original intention was to create a chance for the two to be together.
At the same time, protect the children from the Lin family.
But when he actually saw Qi Tang appearing in this family, Lin An was inexplicably afraid.
What if Qi Tang saw him and wanted to move away?What if I lose control of my emotions again?
It was the first time Lin An's thoughts were so complicated, no wonder love would be terrified.
He thought, let's just accompany him silently in the dark.
He is very happy to see the child every day and live in the same room with him.
This is to satisfy his own selfish/desire, so there is no need to let Qi Tang know.
He also didn't want to see the children sad and sad again.
During this period of time, Qi Tang began to feel better, and Qin Qian would come to the studio to give him advice when he was free.
The competition is also progressing, and the old man said that his name has been reported.
Since that competition was a live painting, Qi Tang has nothing to do now.
Qin Qian said that it was the first time he saw such a young man who was not impetuous, he was in a good state of mind, and hoped that he would keep it up, and recommended some books.
Qi Tang followed the list of books given by the old man, went to the library to find them one by one, and then read them carefully.
Before the start of the competition, all he needs to do is to let go of himself and adjust his brain and heart to an optimal level, so that the works he draws will be full of aura.
But Qi Tang always felt that no matter where he went recently, there was a faint stare following him.
Although it didn't feel dangerous, he was uncomfortable, as if he was being watched and had no freedom.
What's even more strange is that his neighbor has moved in for three or four days, but he has never seen anyone.
I thought it was a difficult person to get along with, but I often saw notes and small gifts left by that person on the dining table.
In desperation, Qi Tang felt a little novel, and also a little indescribably happy.
Because of those notes and gifts, he felt that he was no longer alone in this empty room.
The feeling of emptiness and loneliness in a foreign country is also gone.
And that neighbor seems to know what he likes very well, and every time the small gifts left behind are very suitable for Qi Tang.
After a while, the art competition will start soon.
Qi Tang won No.1 in the last competition, coupled with his good looks, he quickly received a wave of attention in China.
But Qi Tang doesn't care about these things, what he dislikes the most is fandom.
If fans come only because of his appearance, he would rather not have fans, and would rather draw quietly by himself without being noticed by anyone.
On the day of the match, Qi Tang walked into the arena in a black shirt as before.
Such an international and authoritative large-scale event, there are a lot of media crowded at the door, from all over the world, and the flashing lights stretch for a long distance, making people's eyes a little hurt.
They all understand that new stars in the future art world are about to be born here, so they are full of expectations and concerns for this competition.
Huaguo's media was also there, and after recognizing Qi Tang, they wanted to interview him for a few words.
Qi Tang just smiled lightly at the camera, and then said:
"This is my own battlefield, but if I can win the award, the glory will belong to all of us."
As soon as this video was broadcast, it immediately became a hot search on Weibo.
Netizens' messages are all: It's on fire!It's on fire!We wait for your glory!
Qi Tang walked into the arena calmly, his whole body shining like a star.
Lin An stood in the corner and watched, with deep and gentle fox eyes.
He knew that his little friend would one day become an attention-grabbing existence.
But when the day really came, he felt uncomfortable again.
Because his little friend is no longer his own little friend, and no longer only he can see it alone.
Soon, dark clouds suddenly began to gather in the sky, and the heavy rain in summer always caught people off guard.
Most people chose to leave, or stood under the eaves to shelter from the rain.
Lin An didn't move, he wanted to be the first to welcome his little friend out.
He just stood in the corner like that, the pattering raindrops hit him, soaking his white shirt.
Assistant Tian held up an umbrella for him: "Sir, I will get sick."
Lin An didn't speak.
In this way, from morning to evening, when the sky gradually darkened, people finally began to come out of the house one after another.
Lin An frowned and looked at it seriously. He believed that as soon as Qi Tang appeared, he would recognize him immediately.
Until the people at the door gradually dispersed, until it got dark, until the museum was about to close.
Lin An was a little anxious.
He felt like an old father who was waiting for his child to leave the examination room.
A little girl with an umbrella came over and called him sweetly: "Uncle, who are you waiting for?"
Lin An looked down, rubbed her head, and smiled with foxy eyes:
"Uncle is waiting for Uncle's little lover."
The little girl said again: "Has the uncle's little lover come out?"
Lin An raised his head and glanced at the door, when Qi Tang just came out.
He smiled and handed an umbrella to the little girl: "Come out."
Pointing to the person at the door, Lin An said:
"Little cutie, can you send the umbrella over to my uncle? My uncle had a fight with his lover. He will get angry when he sees his uncle."
The little girl glanced in the direction he pointed: "Is that the brother in the black shirt? He's so handsome."
Lin An smiled even wider: "Yes."
The little girl said: "Well, my parents often quarrel, and they don't want to see each other when they quarrel. I'm used to this kind of thing."
While complaining, the little guy took the umbrella and ran towards Qi Tang with two short legs.
Lin An was afraid that Qi Tang would be in a bad mood when he saw him, so he hurried into the car, and watched quietly through the glass.
On the other side, the little girl successfully delivered the umbrella to Qi Tang.
"Brother, someone asked me to bring you an umbrella."
Qi Tang took it and looked around but found no one he knew.
He bent down and touched the little girl's head: "Who asked you to give the umbrella?"
The little girl's voice is very milky, and her tone is also very cute: "Brother, you have to trust your first instinct for this kind of thing. Who do you think will care if you don't have an umbrella when it's raining?"
Of course it's someone who loves you.
She didn't say the second half of the sentence, and ran away holding a small umbrella.
Qi Tang frowned, a little puzzled, he even wondered if the child was ignorant and gave the wrong umbrella.
Later, Qi Tang didn't use that umbrella, he leaned it against the wall, and then took a taxi to go home.
Lin An watched silently, and after Qi Tang left, he got out of the car and took the umbrella back.
He looked down, and there was a post-it note on the handle of the umbrella. The handwriting on it was neat and correct:
If you send the wrong umbrella, anyone who knows it can pick it up.
Lin An stood in the rain for a while, then turned around and said to Assistant Tian, "Let's go."
The author has something to say:
Let’s walk through Tangtang’s career line QVQ
The matter of the Lin family is just a dark thread, it won't be bloody and it won't be concrete, don't worry QVQ
