life and joy

I really bumped into He Yikun at an art exhibition.The art exhibition is not popular but it is not considered a small crowd. The flow of people on the scene perfectly fits the size of the venue.

There is a painting with tricky angles and rich colors, which gives people an inexplicable attraction.The fly in the ointment is that no one seems to be able to understand what is painted on it.

So it was hung in a corner and no one cared about it.

He Huan circled around and returned to the painting, stepped back slowly step by step, only to find that what was hanging on the wall was a flower, entangled with vines at a weird angle.Obviously, it is the light blue color that has always been used to create a sense of emptiness, but it has a different interpretation in this painting, which makes people feel resolutely cold out of thin air.

"Like it?"

A strange voice came, and He Huan turned around and saw a boy of Chinese-European mixed race.

He Huan was bored, he tapped the souvenir doll he just received at the door with his fingers, and said after a while, I guess you are the protagonist of today.

The visitor laughed, speaking in pure Mandarin, he said, I should praise you for your good eyesight.It should be said that we cherish each other.

He pointed to a line on the ground and said, this painting is not the most popular one, but it is definitely my favorite one, so I marked it here just to see if anyone is willing to step back Take a few steps to see what is on the painting, you are the first.

He Huan nodded slightly, and said, I understand that although painting is the artist's own business, it is best for someone to understand.

"This painting is given to you as a gift from a friend."

Just as He Huan was about to stop him, he heard Yao Qi, who appeared behind him at some point, say, how can it be done, everyone's labor is worthy of respect.Wrap up the painting and buy it.

The mixed-race youth looked back at He Huan and then at Yao Qi, and said, I don't want a student to live in poverty just to buy my paintings.

Yao Qi said disapprovingly, his income can crush you.

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he asked Yao Qi, who are you?

"I am his guardian."

Although he was mentally prepared to understand that Yao Qi would definitely not say anything good, He Huan still wanted to roll his eyes when he said a few words.But before he could refute, he saw a person walking towards the door.

He Yikun was also stunned for a moment when he saw He Huan, then walked over, stood among several people, and called him, Xiao Huan.

Yao Qi sideways blocked He Yaohua, then pulled He Huan and walked out. The moment he passed by, he whispered in his ear, "Professor He, now that you are notorious, you can't protect yourself, so you should worry about how to protect yourself first."

He Yikun raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows with two fingers. He couldn't hide his exhaustion, but he still stepped forward to stop Yao Qi and said, Mr. Yao, let's have a meal together.

Yao Qi looked back at He Huan.The boy who had been silent all this time finally nodded slightly.

After getting in the car, the two father and son had been silently confronting each other, and Yao Qi chose to go to a newly opened farmhouse in Luotian for dinner.

Enter through the gate and bypass the pond and large orchards to see a few scattered houses.The waiter stood outside the door and said respectfully, "Sorry, it's full today. Do you guys have any reservations?"

Yao Qi looked at him and smiled ambiguously, then pointed to He Huan and said that his name was He Huan.

The waiter froze for a moment, bowed and said, Mr. He please.

He Huan got used to his flirting from time to time, and indulged his playfulness, but He Yikun, who had been following behind with a submissive attitude, changed slightly upon hearing this.

During the dinner, Yao Qi's eyes were fixed on He Yikun's face, and he didn't turn away for a moment. On the contrary, He Huan was more calm, habitually handling some difficult ingredients, and then put them into Yao Qi's bowl.

The person who had been sitting silently in the corner finally couldn't help but said, Mr. Yao, thank you for taking care of the youngest son for so many years, but shouldn't we keep a proper distance between people? This is the only way to get along easily.

Yao Qi, who was originally indifferent, suddenly darkened his face and squinted at him.

Yao Qi is actually not a clean and pure sunny man in the traditional sense. He has inherited his father's toughness and sternness, and he has not forgotten his mother's tenderness. A little more evil.

"Let's not say that I have evil intentions and no courage, even if I really did something, how can Professor He take care of it?" He leaned on the back of the chair, as if the world was the biggest one.

"Zhouxin?" The man who had always been gentle stood up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists and trembling uncontrollably.

"You have come to me several times from thousands of miles just to find out if I am too close to someone?" He Huan interrupted, and he suddenly felt that this situation was like a farce on stage, funny and boring.

He Yikun took a deep breath and sat back on the chair again.He moved his lips and teeth as if he had a thousand words to say, but now, sitting face to face, he didn't know where to start.After a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, I went to see your mother.

He Huan nodded lightly and said, I know.And I wonder if the care of the Yao family's tombs is too lax, and anyone can enter.

He Yikun stared at He Huan in a daze, rubbed the center of his eyebrows and then supported his forehead with his palm, as if talking to He Huan or talking to himself, said in a hoarse voice, she is my lover, she died I just found out after so many years.

"Now my mother's painful face is still vivid, you tell me it's love? Doesn't that sound a little grandiose?" He Huan leaned back, the back of the chair was too high, he seemed to shrink into the chair, He said, I have seen the ferocious face under your elegant mask, I can't pretend I didn't see it.

The well-educated and highly talented professor of the university's liberal arts school bowed his head in silence for the countless times in one night. He raised his head after a long time, looked at He Huan and softly called him, Xiao Huan.

He Huan paused for a moment, and instead of questioning him in a completely hostile manner, he asked in a low voice, so now, what kind of treatment do you want from me.

The chandelier in the room hung high, and the pure Hainan huanghuali log tables and chairs reflected the orange-red light, and the private room was quiet and oppressive for a while.

He Huan withdrew his gaze from the beginning of the dinner on He Yaohui, and suddenly felt that it was unnecessary.After the anger is over, there is only boundless sadness spreading.

What the mother said when she was severely burned and a group of adults gathered around, this child doesn't know good or bad.It turned out to be a prophecy.

No matter what efforts he has made to prevent himself from growing up into a child of a typical single-parent family in the public mouth, no matter whether he has chosen to go against certain groups in order to avoid going the same way with them, now, he still has the same goal by different routes ending.

Just like the day we first met, Yao Qi lowered his head and saw a face exactly like his own, from now on he can no longer turn a blind eye to it.

He turned around suddenly and said to Yao Qi almost pleadingly, let's go.

Yao Qi squeezed his hand lightly, and replied, OK.

It was already very late when they came out of the box, just in time for the evening rush hour, countless vehicles turned around from the intersection, and were instantly submerged in the traffic flow.

Yao Qi carried him all the way home.

There was a car turning a corner at the intersection, and the high beams shone in, and the dimly lit car instantly seemed like daytime.Also blindingly white was He Huan's face.He leaned against the car window quietly, his face ashen.

The car turned a few bends and walked up the mountain road, leaving the bustling city behind. He Huan opened the car window for an unknown amount of time and suddenly said that in the eyes of outsiders, they are a beautiful couple. The wife is tender and the husband is affectionate, but I know that's not true, at least not the whole truth.

The night wind blew in through the window, blowing the broken hair in front of He Huan's eyes. His eyebrows were lowered, and he whispered softly. Before my mother married Yao's family, I had heard countless people say that her mother was restless and her children were so old. If you want to take your son away without leaving a word.Later, my mother got married to the Yao family that countless people in Dai City could not reach. Then the rhetoric changed, and they said that my mother was a person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix.

Yao Qi stretched out his hand to touch his hair, and said, it has been so long, promise me not to hold so much hatred in my heart.

and after?The deceased who had been buried for a long time received sympathy, and the professor who defended his ex-wife won the affirmation. Only He Huan, after experiencing everything, was deeply stuck in memories and could not get out.He always pretended to be indifferent, and when he was forced to mention it in front of others, he also had a calm attitude that had nothing to do with me. He fabricated an illusion of peace and tranquility in this world in a few words.Only when it was time to face it did he finally admit that he was never a top student in the eyes of his teachers and classmates, nor could he be aggressive like Yao Qi, holding a long knife and dealing with the world without fear of death. A sharp knife is sharper than a long knife.

He is just a teenager lost in a nightmare, and his whole life is like waking up in a nightmare.

Obviously it wasn't him who was saddest at the beginning, but he was the one who remembered the deepest and longest.

He Huan looked back at Yao Qi, his eyes full of sarcasm, the corners of his mouth were raised but indifferent, he said, everyone is sad, everyone has their own difficulties, but what is wrong with the world, and what is wrong with me?

Yao Qi paused, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

In a few dozen seconds, the anger and unwillingness on He Huan's face faded completely, and he returned to a peaceful and indifferent state.It suddenly made people think that the loss of control just now was just an illusion.

Yao Qi did not speak and remained silent all the way until the car drove into the periphery of the villa before he opened his mouth and said, I know you understand how much entanglement you have with your memories. If it takes a lifetime to get rid of this entanglement, I hope it will be mine. .

There was a strange feeling in my heart, as if I had experienced a big bang. At the moment when the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, someone gently wrapped his body in an embrace to ensure that he would be safe and sound when the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.

Yao Qi turned on the speaker, and a deep mezzo-soprano came out, "I love you, and I love myself who is crazy but happy when I'm with you. I wish to be with you until the dust settles."

The two of them waited in the car for a long time until the sun had completely set and the sky was full of stars.He Huan leaned on the back of the chair, feeling at peace like never before.
