Life is bloody eight o'clock

Chapter 21 Metaphors of Art

Ning Jun and Yuan Ben didn't talk about anything. At that time, one of them was worried and the other had no position. It was just a polite ceremony wrapped in a warm coat in the corridor of the hospital.

But after Yuan Ben left, Xu Douxiao quickly recovered. He quit smoking and drinking, kept fit and maintained his health, as if someone had uprooted the poison in his heart. Became a savior in a sense.

"I always feel that he is a noble person in my life. After meeting him, everything is going in a good direction."

Seeing her sweet smile, Xu Douxiao felt full of guilt.

He likes Ning Jun, there is no doubt about it, otherwise he would not be able to put a ring on her, but this love seems so powerless after seeing Yuan Ben.

He was like the boy who hid behind the bookshelf and peeped many years ago, wishing to imprint his every move in his mind.Knowing that there would be no result, he refused to leave.

They stood in front of a golden painting. In the painting, a man and a woman kiss affectionately on the golden grass. It is Klimt's classic "The Kiss". "It is an imitation." Thomas introduced with regret. , "Vienna's visual emblem is hard to lend."

"I've always wanted to hang a Klimt painting in my house."

"As a wedding decoration, it's a bit sad." Thomas; "Compared with Klimt, I admire Schiller more, narcissistic and sensitive."

"The frequency of his self-portraits is indeed comparable to the frequency of your posting selfies." Yuan Ben complained, "I can't appreciate his distorted body lines, at least the beauties in Klimt's works are real beauties."

"Even with a broken neck?"

"That's guesswork from you art critics, I think it's just a painting technique."

"Even if the neck is really broken, this is a beautiful painting." Ning Jun took a sip of the champagne in his hand, "She knelt on the edge of the cliff, showing complete trust and intoxication. Love is full of people. How should I say it?" ,Dedication."

"I think the way he holds her is like Salome holding St. John's head. It's crazy and terrible."

Thomas shook his head. He always thought that love should be equal and happy. He didn't agree with the hints and sadness in Klimt's paintings. He asked Xu Douxiao who had been standing beside him, "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

"Me?" Xu Douxiao, who had been wandering in their conversation, was a little confused, like a student who was suddenly called while sleeping in class. He thought about it, and asked tentatively, "It... is expensive?"

Thomas was stunned by his straightforward speech, while Yuan Ben and Ning Jun laughed unabashedly.

"Yuan Ben is right, my dear, you really can only be a benefactor." Ning Jun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "And you must be accompanied by a trustworthy consultant before you are allowed to enter this field."

"Didn't I already have you with me?"

"Yes, yes, I have to take care of you, otherwise it will be embarrassing if someone finds out that Yuan Ben's good friend is like this."

She took Xu Douxiao and followed Thomas' guidance to his favorite painting.

Egon Schiele's "Death and the Maiden", the men and women in the painting have slender hands and feet, distorted postures, and strong colors. The girl hugs the Grim Reaper tightly, her hair covers her eyes, and no sorrow or joy can be seen, but the remaining facial features Outline a subtle expression, attachment, tranquility, and reluctance, while the expression of the god of death is full of resistance and struggle.

"This painting was painted after Schiele broke up with his girlfriend Willie. Some people say that he loves Willie deeply, but chose his fiancée Alice because of financial reasons.

Others, however, say that Schiller just loves the new and hates the old.Whatever the truth, he finally chose to use the combination of death and maiden to show their relationship. "

"The way Schiller announced his breakup was very interesting. He took his fiancée to ask his girlfriend to meet him in a store he frequented, told her that he was going to marry another woman, and promised power with a note."

"I promise, I'll spend a few weeks with you every year," Thomas said in a stilted tone.

"He takes himself seriously, and he can speak so affectionately with two boats on his feet."

Ning Jun shook his head, aggrieved by his power, "It would take too much effort for this kind of person to even hate him."

"Weili also thinks so, but for being able to declare in words at the beginning of the relationship: I am not in love with anyone in this world, and I must be a maverick. Maybe for her, love and Cohabitation is not an equal sign."

"She just let it go..." Yuan Ben sighed, "You see, it was Schiller who abandoned his power, but Schiller was deeply disturbed and hesitant, while a person with nothing can face it calmly."

"However, no matter who is right or wrong, life, youth, and love will all be taken away by death." Yuan Ben shrugged, "This painting is really interesting."

This painting is indeed very interesting, Xu Douxiao thought, he looked at the expression of the Grim Reaper trying to break free but dared not move, and the expression of involuntarily stroking the girl's hair but feeling speechless because of the loss of emotion.

Say goodbye anyway.

He thought of the early morning two years ago, when he drove back from the hospital and was exhausted physically and mentally by Xu's mother's hysteria. As soon as he entered the gate of the community, he saw Yuan Ben standing under the street lamp waiting for him.

"Why are you standing here?" Xu Douxiao opened the co-pilot's door and asked him to come up quickly, "Did you forget your keys? Why didn't you call me?"

Yuan Ben sat on the co-pilot and sighed long: "Dou Xiao, let's talk."

Xu Douxiao was frightened by his ugly face, his eye circles were blue, his lips were dry, and he was completely defeated: "What's the matter, is there anything we can't talk about when we go home?"

"Let's talk here." He coughed and made up his mind, "Dou Xiao, let's break up."

"why?"

"I know you are a love saint. If you break up, you will never say it. If you can't say it, let me say it. Xu Douxiao, let's break up." Yuan Ben's slender hands were pulling on the seat belt, and he didn't even look at Xu Douxiao. .

"I disagree."

"You are too tired, and I am too tired."

"I disagree."

"Xu Douxiao, those are your parents."

"I disagree."

Xu Douxiao couldn't hear what Yuan Ben said, he could only repeat this sentence mechanically, over and over again, the voice became louder and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"I don't agree!" He roared, holding Yuan Ben tightly and not letting go.

But so what?

They broke up anyway.

Say goodbye anyway.

"Honey, honey." Ning Jun shook his hand and called him out of his memory, "Yuan Ben was talking to you."

"Ah?" Xu Douxiao came back to his senses and looked over embarrassedly, "I was thinking of something else just now, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter, it's because our exhibition work is not in place, so that this guest can't feel the charm of art."

"I'm not...you know I..."

"I'm just kidding, Old Xu." Yuan Ben patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Thomas and I have other things to do, so we won't be with you, we will meet again when we have time."

"Okay, we'll meet again when we have time." Xu Douxiao nodded, and watched him and Thomas leave together, shoulder to shoulder, exceeding the distance that friends should have.

"They are so sweet." Ning Jun sighed, "They are good-looking, have well-tuned personalities, and have a sense of art, which is really enviable."

"really."

"You are also very good today. You performed very well, remember to get together with Yuan Ben."

"I see, Miss Ning."

He is a liar, he will not contact, Yuan Ben is also a liar, he did not even leave a new contact method for himself.

"I think I'm a scumbag." No matter how difficult Gu Shao's own emotional path is, Xu Douxiao is the first to think of him when something happens.

The other party replied in seconds: "What's the situation? The old relationship between you and Yuan Ben has rekindled? Shocked jpg."

"Uh..." Xu Douxiao didn't want to talk to him, but did he have any other choice?

"What nonsense are you talking about! I went to Yuan Ben's exhibition with Ning Jun today."

"Then do you want to bring your excellent incumbent to show off to your scumbag ex? You've grown up jpg."

"Yuan Ben is not scum."

"Is this your point? He is not a scumbag. Who broke you, made you give up your green card in the United States, messed up your family, patted your ass and left?"

"It's not what you think."

Xu Douxiao has never talked to anyone about what happened in the last year between him and Yuan Ben. Even Gu Yue, who is closest to him, just knows that his parents don't approve of it, "because this matter is not very happy at home." That's all.

What Gu Yue saw was Yuan Ben's departure and his own sinking, his reaction was reasonable, but he was really unable to explain the wounds of the past, after all, the language was too pale, and his friend felt that he had been raped by Yuan Ben. This piece of lard was blinded.

"Yuan Ben invited you?"

"No, it's his partner. Ning Jun invited by Thomas."

"I see."

Xu Douxiao looked at the "unexpected" emoticon package sent by the other party, full of doubts.

"What's the meaning."

"Xu Shao, don't you understand? Although you didn't intend to show off in front of your ex, some people are eager to confirm their status in front of their ex."

"You mean Thomas did it on purpose."

"Didn't you hear what Wang Xiaoxiao said yesterday? The past is like smoke. We must grasp the happiness of the present and leave a way for everyone."

"Oh."

"By the way, why do you call yourself a scumbag?"

Xu Douxiao didn't reply, just stared at the phone screen until it automatically hibernated, the past was like smoke, so it turned out that the past with Yuan Ben was already like smoke.

Thomas is indeed a good choice. He looks handsome and personable. He has common topics with Yuan Ben and can help each other at work. The most important thing is that the British parents will not force each other to death.

They are not one way people.

After all this time, he would still be heartbroken by those words.
