Rain alley

Zhou Yin was dressed in formal attire, looking more mature and stable, and looked extremely attractive.

Tang Wen picked him up, and the two entered the elevator together. Just as they were about to close the door, they were grabbed by a pair of hands. A young man with pink hair came in, talking on the phone all the time.

"I told you about the traffic jam, and I can't fly over!"

"It's easy for you to say, don't I want to come earlier? I haven't finished a lot of things in my company. Zhong Mu, do you have a conscience? I'll be fine if I come, okay?"

"Get out, wait until I go up."

Shi Yan hung up the phone, immediately put away his emoji, and politely smiled at Tang Wen and Zhou Yin: "Thank you from the top."

Zhou Yin smiled back and pressed the top floor.

When they reached the top floor, Shi Yan went to the backstage lounge. Tang Wen and Zhou Yin came to the auditorium and sat with Su Ziyan's mother and daughter.

"Zhou Yin, long time no see." Su Ziyan smiled.

"Long time no see. Hello, Qingqing."

"Hello, Uncle Zhou." Tang Qing replied in a childish voice, and everyone was amused.

The awards ceremony will begin immediately, live music will sound, and the atmosphere will be created immediately.

The male host and the female host sang together, revealing the rankings one by one, and finally only the top three remained.

"The following one is our good friend in a foreign country, who is it?"

The hostess said: "He is blond, blue-eyed and talented. Let's applaud our third runner-up today, Draw!"

The third runner-up was followed by the second runner-up. The host announced in a higher voice: "No.2 is our local contestant, QY!"

Qin Yuan took the stage to speak: "It is a great honor to receive this award, and I will continue to work hard in the future. I am very grateful to all the friends present, and thank my friends for coming to support me. Thank you everyone."

The audience applauded together, Tang Wen gave a thumbs up to the stage, and asked Tang Qing: "Qingqing, is Uncle Qin serious?"

"Great!"

Next is No.1, and the host introduced it with the highest emotion in the audience: "This designer, known as a genius designer, has won several consecutive championships at a young age. He is—"

Houtian Jiyan said nervously: "Ah Mu, hurry up, get ready, it's your turn to go on stage!"

"Don't be nervous, if you are nervous, I will be even more nervous!!"

The hostess repeated again: "He is—"

Zhou Yin was also nervous.

The two said together: "Chinese designer, Mu!!"

He let out a long breath.

The music was playing, the lights were flickering, and the host was still explaining: "Mu is only 24 years old. He has participated in three competitions and won the first place every year. He is our Chinese player. He..."

Zhong Mu took a deep breath and stepped on the podium, he would still be nervous, while Shi Yan and Ji Yan sat in the auditorium to take pictures.

The lights froze and the music stopped.

Zhou Yin looked at Zhong Mu on the stage, he was calm and well-mannered, and he was shining brightly.

Zhong Mu shook the microphone, smiled, and said, "Hi everyone, I'm Mu."

Cheers sounded from the scene, and Zhong Mu made a gesture: "Thank you very much for coming here in your busy schedule. It is a great honor for me to win this award again. Every time, I come here with the highest respect. Coming to this stage, the design journey is long, and I will search up and down, and will not disappoint everyone's expectations of me."

Cheers, applause, and screams are endless.

Zhong Mu added: "I want to thank my family and friends, they gave me the greatest support and encouragement." Zhong Mu pointed to Shi Yan and Ji Yan in the audience.

Shi Yan and Ji Yan waved wildly.

He added: "I would also like to thank one person in particular, who gave me inspiration and great help. Finally, thank you all and wish you all the best."

Zhong Mu bowed and stepped down.

Zhou Yin has been staring at the stage, staring at Zhong Mu, not the one in the photo, but the real, glowing Zhong Mu.

He knew that the person Zhong Mu was talking about was himself, and he didn't even notice that he was smiling.

Tang Wen said: "Young people today are really limitless."

Zhou Yin smiled: "Well, it's very powerful."

The three people in the backstage hugged together, Shi Yan said: "Go out and celebrate, three consecutive championships, buddy, awesome!"

Zhong Mu: "I'm afraid it won't work. I ran away this time and my parents are dying of anxiety. They must be watching the live broadcast on TV. I have to go back and report, otherwise I will die."

"That's right, let's do it, let's meet again another day."

"Row!"

After the awards ceremony was over, Tang Wen's family went home, and Zhou Yin also went home by himself.

Zhong Mu was driving on the way home, looking at the co-pilot's trophy, he was in a good mood.

He made a phone call and got through.

"Mr. Zhou, I won the championship."

"Really? You are amazing."

"Hey hey, thank you Mr. Zhou for your guidance."

"It's your own work, and you're the one who's great."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for complimenting me. What are you doing now, Mr. Zhou?"

"On the way home."

"Then walk well, I'm going home too, I'll call you another day."

"it is good."

Zhou Yin put away the phone, an unknown feeling oppressed him, Zhong Mu's happy smiling face seemed to be right in front of him.

Zhong Mu returned to Zhong's house, straightened his clothes, and entered the gate.

Sure enough, Zhong's father and Zhong's mother were sitting in the living room, and he obediently walked over and called, "Dad, Mom."

"You know how to come back?"

"Mom and Dad, I miss you."

"We don't want you."

"I just won the award, did you watch the live broadcast?"

"I didn't see it, there's something to see."

Knowing his mother's duplicity, Zhong Mu leaned over and said, "Mom, why don't you look at me, you don't even look at me so handsome, are you empathizing with me?"

Father Zhong slapped him on the head: "Don't talk nonsense with your mother, go to the kitchen and serve dinner."

Zhong Mu covered his head and said, "Dad, you're just jealous of my handsome looks, and you're afraid that my mother won't love you anymore."

"Stinky boy, hurry up and serve me food!"

Zhong Mu mischievously went to the kitchen, Father Zhong sat down and said angrily, "I don't know who it looks like."

After the family and Lele finished their meal, Zhong Mu went back to his room to rest, and turned on his phone to send a message to Zhou Yin.

"Mr. Zhou, are you asleep?"

"no, what happened?"

"It's okay, I miss you a little bit. I have to stay at home for a while, and I may have to find you later."

"Zhong Mu, you really shouldn't be wasting time on me."

"This is my business. As I said, no one is better than Mr. Zhou." He said, "It's getting late. Good night, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Yin sighed and returned: Good night.

Zhong Mu's work came to an end, and now he is completely free, so he collapsed in the Zhong family's mansion, Zhong's mother was very happy, and made delicious food in different ways every day.

Zhong Mu is completely lazy like a pig, and doesn't go out no matter who calls him.

Shi Yan called: "Damn, Zhong Mu, you fat house, come out!"

"No, it's really cool to squat at home, don't go, don't go."

"Forget about being lazy. You have to come to the calligraphy and painting exhibition the day after tomorrow. There are a few of our paintings to be exhibited."

"Okay, got it."

Although Zhong Mu and the others have their own occupations, they also study painting and have certain attainments. Some of their works will be collected and used for exhibitions. This Tongjia Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition will include their works painting.

The calligraphy and painting exhibition was held at the Nanfeng Exhibition Hall in S City, which was a bit far from the city center. Zhong Mu and Shi Yan Jiyan went there after the reunion, and it was about ten o'clock when they arrived.

The calligraphy and painting exhibition starts at [-]:[-] and closes at [-]:[-] pm. It will last for five days. Today is the first day, so there are quite a few people here, and there are also some friends Zhong Mu knows.

It was only after Zhong Mu arrived that he realized why it was called a calligraphy and painting exhibition, because there were books and paintings.

This is not just a pure painting exhibition, but also some calligraphy works, which are surprisingly harmonious in one exhibition hall. There are soft pipa and guzheng music in the exhibition hall, which really feels like a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shi Yan and Ji Yan were looking at the paintings, Zhong Mu went to the calligraphy area, there were many adverbs hanging on the walls, Zhong Mu looked over, and a pair of elegant and unrestrained running script came into view, and the familiar feeling filled Zhong Mu's eyes , he looked to the lower right corner, Zhou Yin.

It turned out to be Zhou Yin's handwriting. He used his real name. Zhong Mu searched for it, and saw a pair of cursive script. There are two works of Zhou Yin in the exhibition hall, and he also has two paintings here. .

Their works were hung in the same exhibition hall. This coincidence struck Zhong Mu's heart, and he couldn't wait to tell Zhou Yin.

Zhou Yin's writing was included in the exhibition hall, and the people in the hall called him, so he adjusted a class to take a look.

When Zhou Yin arrived, there were already many people there. He came to the painting exhibition area after watching the calligraphy area. When he saw the painting, his senses were filled with a familiar feeling. Only Zhong Mu's painting could give him that feeling. He didn't even need to look at the name to know that it was drawn by Zhong Mu.

Zhong Mu exhibited a total of two paintings, one is a picture of misty rain in the green mountains, and the other is a person, and the person in the painting is himself.

In the painting, Zhou Yin holds an oil-paper umbrella and walks on the bluestone path, walking slowly and with a peaceful expression.

This was the day when they first met. Zhou Yin remembered that Zhong Mu was drenched in the rain, and stood pitifully under the eaves to avoid the rain. When did he draw it?

Zhou Yin's thoughts were abruptly pulled back.

"Mr. Zhou, is that you?"

Zhou Yin froze, the voice was too familiar, he didn't move, he didn't move, he didn't expect to meet Zhong Mu here, which caught him off guard.

Zhou Yin turned around and said, "It's me."

Zhong Mu was overjoyed: "Mr. Zhou! Why did you come? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I just arrived too."

"Mr. Zhou, there is your writing over there. I saw it and was about to tell you."

"Well, your paintings are also very good."

Zhong Mu was a little embarrassed, this painting was drawn when he wanted Zhou Yin when he came back.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, if you don't like it, I can take it down."

"No, no one knows me anyway."

However, Zhou Yin was slapped in the face in the next second.

One of his students came and said, "Professor Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Yin: "..."

Zhong Mu: Professor? ?

Zhou Yin said as naturally as possible: "I'll take a look at the exhibition."

The student asked: "Don't you have class today? I remember your ancient history class in the morning."

"..." Zhou Yin had no choice but to answer: "I transferred the class with your teacher Liu."

"Oh, Professor Zhou, I went there first, and some students in the class are also there."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhong Mu grabbed the student: "Wait a minute."

"Sir, what can you do?"

"Who is he?" Zhong Mu pointed at Zhou Yin.

"He's our school teacher, you... do you know him or not?"

"When did he teach at your school?"

The student looked at Zhou Yin suspiciously, then at Zhong Mu: "It's been a few years, are you friends with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Yin interrupted: "Okay, you go first, this gentleman is my friend."

"Okay, goodbye teacher."

After the students left, the atmosphere was momentarily awkward.

"Zhong Mu, I..."

"Zhou Yin, a university professor, has been teaching in City S. You obviously live in the same city as me, but you didn't tell me that you came back when I came back. Why? Are you afraid that I will pester you?"

"No, Zhong Mu, I..."

"I've been thinking of looking for you, but you're right by my side." Zhong Mu's eyes welled up with tears, "Zhou Yin, is it fun to play with me? What is this? Is Zhong Mu so annoying to you?" ? Even if you don't like me, why lie to me?"

"No, I don't hate you, Zhong Mu, S City is so big, I didn't expect that we would meet so easily..." It seemed that the more I said it, the more wrong it became.

He was thinking that he and Zhong Mu just met by chance, since he knew it was impossible, why bother to say more, S City is so big, it would not be so easy to meet, after a long time, Zhong Mu will naturally forget him, and go to the original traces of.

But now, they just met.

Zhong Mu smiled wryly: "Yes, there is no need to see you again in the future."

Zhong Mu walked out, Zhou Yin held him back: "Zhong Mu, I don't want to hurt you."

"But you have hurt me, Mr. Zhou, please let go."

Zhou Yin did not let go.

"Let go of Mr. Zhou, everyone is watching the exhibition, it's not good to make a big noise, please let go."

Zhou Yin let go of him, and Zhong Mu walked away quickly. He stood there at a loss, feeling bitter and bitter in his heart.

Zhong Mu, how could I be willing to hurt you, but now, I seem to make you sad.

Zhong Mu, there are so many people, why do you like me.
