When Qi Tang woke up, he felt a little warm in his palm, as if he had been holding something just now.

His face was still hot, and he raised his hand to explore his forehead, but found a wet towel.

He sat up and coughed lightly, his throat was dry and sore.

This should be a cold, and a little fever.

So who was here to take care of him all night?

Qi Tang rubbed his forehead tiredly, and glanced at the room of the neighbor whom he had never met before.

There is a cup of hot water on the table, still steaming, and medicine next to it.

His heart softened, he picked up the cup and swallowed the medicine.

Today is the awards ceremony of the art competition, he is going to be there in person, and it seems that an interview session has been arranged, but his mental state seems to be not very good now.

However, Qi Tang rested for a while, packed up and went out.

He wants to take back his own glory in person, and record the moment when this dream comes true with his eyes and ears.

On the way, Qi Tang received a message from Zhang Cheng, probably those congratulatory words.

Zhang Cheng: Congratulations, you don’t even know how popular you are in China now

Zhang Cheng: There have been many hot searches on Weibo for several days, why don't you open an official blog, there must be many fans

Qi Tang answered him calmly: I am an artist, not an idol star, I don't need fans.

He just stood at a height, and others came because they looked up to him.

He doesn't need to cater to others, he only does what he likes to do, and it doesn't matter whether anyone is watching or not.

Zhang Cheng said: cold, ruthless, fine, you are an artist, you are noble

Qi Tang smiled, but didn't reply.

Zhang Cheng also said: However, I have to remind you that everything is now circled, aggressive and fraught

Zhang Cheng: Now that you are famous, under the eyes of everyone, no matter what you think or think, there will be a group of people who will look for your stains and criticize your past behavior

Regarding this, Qi Tang couldn't deny it, but his expression was still very calm, and he didn't really care.

His past is a part of him, and there is no way to let it go.

He didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

There is no need for others to point fingers at him.

Zhang Cheng also said: In psychology, this is called - to achieve self-satisfaction and form a sense of superiority by criticizing others

Zhang Cheng: Oh, let’s not talk about it, accept the award well, take a photo of the trophy, and give it to my buddies.

Qi Tang replied him with a good word, and then put the phone in his pocket.

The destination has been reached, he got out of the car, all the media gathered around the entrance, and the flashing lights stretched for a long distance.

However, unlike the entertainment industry, these media outlets are relatively well-educated, and they don't use a microphone to chase the target person for a long distance, just to find an exclusive news.

They just stood quietly and politely took some photos, and the interview would be scheduled in advance and conducted with the consent of the other party.

This is a kind of respect for the artist.

Qi Tang was still wearing a black shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up.

The difference from before was that today he was wearing a pair of glasses with gold wire frames. The gentle and refined temperament of his whole person suddenly reached the extreme, making people unable to look away.

As soon as he got out of the car, all eyes followed him.

Probably because everyone has never seen a painter who came to receive an award by taxi.

Qi Tang just lowered his eyes low-key, walked in facing the camera neither humble nor overbearing.

Those with sharp eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a deep mark on his exposed wrist, like a tooth mark.

Because of the passage of time, it has healed, but there is still a circle of dark and ugly scars.

For a while, they became more interested in Qi Tang.

Qi Tang gave them a sense of having a story.

The moment she stood on the podium, Qi Tang was calmer than expected.

He just smiled with the trophy in his hand, but it shone so frighteningly.

After receiving the award, there was an interview. Qi Tang was exhausted, said a few words casually, and left the venue in a hurry.

It's just that after the video and photos of the ceremony were sent back to China, he inevitably made another hot search.

Most people still come for his beauty, but only a few people can appreciate his paintings.

Qi Tang felt that this was a kind of sadness, if possible, he didn't want to appear in the public eye.

In the following days, because of a fever, Qi Tang didn't go out for several days, and sometimes he was so weak that he didn't even want to eat.

But often at this time, there will be a sound in the kitchen.

He didn't even bother to take a look at that mysterious roommate, but listening to those ding ding dong dong sounds, he felt that there was smoke in the room.

When the kitchen was quiet again, there would be a knock on his door.

Qi Tang got up exhausted and opened the door, and he could see food and stew on the small table at the door.

There was also a note under the bowl, to the effect that the intermediaries should take care of each other, and asked him to accept this kindness.

Qi Tang couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and smiled, and accepted the intention frankly.

However, he could see that the neighbor seemed to be not very good at cooking, and the food at first was really not delicious.

But he can also see that this neighbor is very smart and can learn everything quickly, but within a day or two, his cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

He accepted this unknown warmth, and his heart warmed up a lot.

After a few days of such peaceful days, Qi Tang became more energetic.

Until Zhang Cheng sent a message telling him that he was on the trending search again and sent some screenshots.

Qi Tang opened it to look, his face gradually turned cold.

As if what Zhang Cheng said before was fulfilled, someone dug up Qi Tang's past and publicized it.

Qi Tang has been neat and tidy for the past twenty years, and can even be called a role model for good young people in society.

Except for that experience.

The part with Lin An.

They said that Qi Tang was taken care of by powerful people.

They said that Qi Tang despicably went to be someone's lover in order to stand out.

They said that Qi Tang's trophy was not clean.

They said that Qi Tang is not worthy of today's glory.

Humans are very strange animals. You only need to break their trust in a small point, and they will spread their doubts to the whole situation along this small point.

So through this matter with Lin An, they overturned all Qi Tang's achievements, all his glory, questioned his character, his talent, and everything about him.

There was a lot of scolding on the Internet, saying why he could reach such a high position in his twenties, and it was not because of improper means.

Qi Tang actually didn't feel much about these malicious words.

He still has that point of view—he did nothing wrong, and he doesn't need others to judge his right or wrong.

What made him uncomfortable was the word nurturing.

Although this relationship made him very sad, he couldn't deny that he loved Lin An.

That was not nurturing, that was his love, his hot heart, and the only experience he had ever loved crazily.

His love was insulted by Lin An, and now he has to show it to be insulted by everyone.

Qi Tang was very uncomfortable, but it was limited to discomfort.

He found that he didn't even have the emotion of anger.

But Qin Xiao and Zhang Cheng were angry.

The two opened many small accounts on the Internet to confront the keyboard man, but they were said to be the real master who came out to clean up the ground.

The two of them were so angry that they couldn't eat, and they wished they could pass through the network cable and strangle these people who didn't distinguish between black and white.

Originally, it would have been fine if the limelight had passed, but it was just a vain rumor, and no one had any evidence, so the barbarian had a good time.

But suddenly a person appeared, holding a video of Lu Ting and Zhang Yan quarreling in the studio because of Qi Tang's departure, and nailed Qi Tang to the word "baoyang".

For a while, this incident became more and more serious, and netizens could say anything ugly.

Anyway, typing doesn't cost money, and you don't have to be responsible for following the trend and hurting people.

Qi Tang watched calmly. For the first time, he opened Weibo and posted a post.

The text is also cold:

The trophy, I won it by my own ability, talent, international authoritative certification, character, it is not up to people who have never met in person to judge.

Not a traffic star, just a little painter.

My strength is recognized by the industry, your preferences are none of my business, and your blades can't hurt me.

Qi Tang turned off his phone after posting, and went out to sketch with his drawing board on his back.

But the calmness and composure revealed in this passage gave many people a new understanding of him.

The moment when a gentleman shows his sharpness is very surprising and fascinating.

Lin An looked at the words on the screen, his eyes softened.

This is his little friend. Even after going through so much, Qi Tang still maintains his heart and will not be disturbed by the outside world.

He likes this elegance and calmness, and he also likes children.

After several hours of flight journey, Lin An returned to China.

Although Qi Tang didn't care, he couldn't tolerate someone hurting his little friend like this.

Assistant Tian followed behind Lin An and asked, "Sir, do you want to remove the trending search?"

Lin An's expression was indifferent: "No need."

Withdraw what?

His little friend has been well-behaved for more than 20 years, excellent and shining, with only one blemish.

As a public figure, having stains means that the foundation is not clean, and one day it will erupt and become someone else's excuse.

Now, what he has to do is to completely overthrow this stain.

From then on, his little friend will be fine in the future, and no one can stab him with outside things.

Assistant Tian asked again: "Then, sir, don't we do something?"

Lin An raised his fox eyes slightly: "Do it."

"Go and buy that hot search item first, hang it for two days."

Suppress first and then raise, this effect is the best.

Assistant Tian was a little unsure, is this really all right?Wouldn't Mr. Qi Xiao feel sad because of those crap words on the Internet?

But he didn't say it, he was just an assistant, only responsible for carrying out orders.

Later, Lin An went to two places.

The first place to go is the Lin family.

Assistant Tian was listening outside, and it seemed that Mr. Lin had a fierce dispute with Mrs. Lin.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that the hot search had something to do with Mrs. Lin.

Maybe the news that broke out at the beginning was not done by Mrs. Lin, but it is hard to say whether she has manipulated behind the scenes, buying water army and hot searches.

After all, although Qi Tang is very famous recently, he is just an amateur painter.

With this popularity, it is still impossible to rush to the front of the hot search.

Who stretched out his hand behind this, although there is no way to know all of them, but Mrs. Lin must be indispensable.

Assistant Tian has been in the Lin family for more than ten years, and he knows the family's way of getting along very well.

One sentence summary: a madman of the family.

As long as it can hurt the other party, I would rather hurt myself eight hundred.

What's more, it has long been impossible to hide the fact that Qi Tang is the heart of Mr. Lin. Mrs. Lin and Lin Sheng will do anything that can upset Mr. Lin.

After half an hour, Assistant Tian saw Mr. come out.

Lin An's expression was ugly, before he left, he said to the room in a deep voice:

"Next time, don't blame me for touching your son."

With a bang, the woman in the room went crazy, threw things around, and said a lot of ugly and threatening words.

Lin An pretended not to hear anything, lit a cigarette and got in the car.

Assistant Tian felt that Lin An was very angry, and he didn't dare to speak loudly: "Sir, where are you going next?"

Lin An exhaled a smoke ring and said hoarsely, "Lu Ting's studio."

This matter looks complicated, but it is actually very simple, as long as the parties concerned come out to clarify.

But the difficulty lies in that Lu Ting has deep prejudices towards Qi Tang and Lin An.

This old guy is old-fashioned and closed-minded, and he hates Lin An's hypocrisy in shopping malls the most, not to mention the fact that someone from the back door came to him.

So asking him to help out and clarify this matter is almost impossible.

But Lin An still went.

Lu Ting ignored him all day, and Lin An followed Lu Ting around for a day.

It wasn't until the sky darkened and the studio was about to close that Lu Ting couldn't stand it anymore, so he talked to Lin An with a cold face.

"You are a person of status anyway, do you want to be ashamed?"

Lu Ting's speech was always harsh, and he made no secret of his dislike for Lin An.

"I didn't bother with you about that last time. You're fine, and you came to me directly. You don't feel comfortable if I don't scold you, do you?"

Lin An had never been so angry before, his face was ugly, but he still endured it, and tried his best to speak politely.

Assistant Tian stood outside the door and listened, feeling very uncomfortable.

Mr. has always been arrogant, his arrogance is no less than that of Qi Tang.

It is no better than when Qi Tang was humiliated by Lu Ting in the studio at that time.

Not to mention asking for help.

This requires Lin An to let go of his pride, face, and a man's self-esteem.

The voices of the two in the room were much quieter, but Assistant Tian could still hear a few ugly words from Lu Ting's mouth from time to time.

The husband seems to be begging for a long time, so long that Assistant Tian's legs are numb.

Finally, an hour later, Lin An came out of the house.

He didn't look good, his face was tired and lonely, his eyes were red, as if he was trying his best to endure humiliation and anger.

Lin An didn't say anything, got into the car directly, and left here.

Assistant Tian was driving the car, and Lin An could see from the rearview mirror that Lin An was lighting a cigarette with a very indifferent expression.

He thought that the reason why Mr. Qi can do this is because he loves Mister Qi Xiao so much.

Hope the two can have a good ending.

Two days later, City A held a large art exhibition, in which Lu Ting was invited.

The entertainment reporters all heard the news and left, wanting to track the popularity and get first-hand information about Qi Tang's explosive news.

A video of Lu Ting was released that day. He was stopped for an interview, and the questions were all about Qi Tang.

The old-fashioned old man blushed anxiously, stared back at the camera, and only said a few words:

"The video that is circulating on the Internet is true, but it is not what you see. I misunderstood him."

"Such a good young painter will be ruined by you idlers sooner or later!"

As an older generation who has trained many outstanding young painters for the country, Lu Ting's character is obvious to all.

What he hates the most is that others step on the relationship to take the lead, and everyone knows it.

So what he said has a high degree of credibility, at least no one will doubt it, because it is an insult to the old painter.

Therefore, after the release of this video, Qi Tang's popularity with passers-by has rebounded at a speed of light.

Everyone was beginning to realize what disgusting things had been done to the young artist who had brought home international trophies for his country.

All of a sudden, Qi Tang's Weibo was going to be overwhelmed again, and the post he posted was all apologies from netizens.

It's just that there are still a small number of people who are still obsessed with it-this young man's rumors of such things must not be groundless.

While digging, another Weibo announcement came out.

It was published by Lin An in his own name.

He posted a picture. On the day when Qi Tang posted him on Moments a long time ago, he secretly took it while Qi Tang was asleep, but didn't send it out.

Accompanying text: It's not a nurturing, it's a love that hasn't been announced in time. He deserves the best in the world.

Airborne directly, blowing up everyone's doubts and bad words.

This matter, here is the perfect ending.

Lin An flipped through the Weibo post by Qi Tang, with a gentle look on his face.

Now, no one can slander his little friend anymore, and Qi Tang will be fine in the future.

After finishing the matter, Lin An didn't rest, and flew back to France overnight.

He wanted to see how his little friend was doing.

But when they got home, there was no one in the house, Lin An looked at the tidy living room, thinking that Qi Tang must have gone to the studio.

He rubbed his forehead tiredly, and went into the room to rest.

At this time, Qi Tang didn't know that the matter on the Internet had been resolved, he just continued to draw and live as usual.

A person had a good time, very peaceful.

Because of applying to go back to school for a master's degree, he was busy all day, and even went to the university to sketch by the lakeside with green willows.

When it was almost dark, he left with the drawing board on his back.

In the evening, Qin Qiu invited him to have dinner. Since the last incident, the two of them have been in frequent contact during this period.

Qi Tang didn't reject Qin Qiu, on the contrary, Qin Qiu understood him very well most of the time, and it was very easy to get along with him.

So he acquiesced to Qin Qiu as a friend.

When I got home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, Qi Tang opened the door, only to find that the living room was lit.

Is that mysterious neighbor back?

Qi Tang entered the room lightly, looked around, but found no one.

He was sitting on the sofa resting, but his eyes suddenly touched a familiar coat.

It's so familiar, but it's not his, and Qi Tang couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Out of politeness, Qi Tang picked up the coat, and when he was about to fold it and put it back, something suddenly fell out.

It was a picture of roses, the picture of wild roses that he had given to Lin An, but lost by Lin An.

But not his one.

Because this painting, whether it is from the paper or the paint, is obviously very new, and it has not been painted for more than half a year at most.

Qi Tang froze.

He stood where he was and didn't move for a long time.

I keep connecting the events of these days in my mind, and I keep thinking about this strange neighbor.

He rubbed his face, turned off the light, and sat down on the sofa.

The darkness covered his look and also his emotions.
