Chapter 24

The words were so vague that people couldn't tell whether they were talking about the present or the past.

Zhou Weixia has already walked to the side of the car.With his back to Ye Xingzhi, he paused for a few seconds before turning around, as if he had a lot to say, but he seemed to have nothing to say.

It's not that I didn't think about the situation of the two seeing each other again.It was nothing more than him chasing Ye Xingzhi to ask if he concealed his identity to provoke him just to play with him; or like an old classmate who met by accident, he said goodbye after a few pleasantries.

Occasionally, he would also dream about the days when they were in City A, and it ended with him begging Ye Xingzhi not to leave.

When Zhou Weixia woke up, he often thought that he was always chasing after the things that abandoned him.

Even in the dream there is not much decency to speak of.

"It's not convenient for me right now." Zhou Weixia tried his best to sound businesslike as usual.He lowered his eyes and said, "The idea of ​​the work...Mr. Ye can say what he wants."

Ye Xingzhi took two steps towards him, "Have you been in England all this time?"

"I've asked many people, and some of my classmates studying in the UK have not heard from you."

"Why change the number?"

The man got closer and closer, Zhou Weixia was already clinging to the car door, there was no room for him to retreat.After a long silence, he said, "These have nothing to do with the idea of ​​the work."

Ye Xingzhi stopped moving forward and asked, "Zhou Weixia, have you—"

"Visha!"

Before Ye Xingzhi finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice from the exit of the parking lot.They followed the prestige and saw Guan Yichu walking towards them.

"Didn't you agree that I will come to you to get the car?" Guan Yichu said to Zhou Weixia from a distance.Seeing Ye Xingzhi standing aside, he was obviously taken aback, "Xiao Ye is here too."

Zhou Weixia took out the car keys and handed them over, "I'm just going to send the car to the company."

Guan Yichu quickly withdrew his surprised expression, smiled at Ye Xingzhi kindly, and said to Zhou Weixia, "Are you busy so late?"

"It's okay." Zhou Weixia said absently.

"I'll take you back to the villa." He took the key and said with a smile, probably thinking that Ye Xingzhi was here, so he couldn't be polite, so he asked by the way, "Does Xiaoye want to leave?"

Guan Yichu spoke very naturally, and easily distanced him from Zhou Weixia, which made Ye Xingzhi feel like a stick in his throat for no reason.

Seeing that Zhou Weixia had already opened the car door, he took the lead in sitting on the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt.Ye Xingzhi was no longer the aggressive look just now, and said flatly, "Yes. Is it convenient to drop me off at the old community at the gate of B?"

Guan Yichu was a little surprised.He just heard some of the past of the two from Shen Yunman, and he didn't know much about it.Seeing Shen Zhang's face at this moment, he could only smile dryly and say yes.

Ye Xingzhi opened the car door and sat in the back seat. His eyes swept over the two people in the front row, but he didn't take the initiative to speak.

The car started, Zhou Weixia kept looking away from the window.The sweltering heat from the sun during the day still lingered in the car, making him a little uncomfortable.

Guan Yichu seemed to feel that the atmosphere was too oppressive, so he casually asked Ye Xingzhi for directions, and then asked, "Do you live in that old community now?"

Ye Xingzhi stared at the profile face on the right side in the rearview mirror, and replied, "Yes."

It was even in the same building as the one Zhou Weixia lived in before.

Driving into the urban area, the scenery becomes more and more familiar.When the car stopped in front of the gate of the community, Zhou Weixia reached out and pressed the window button, and the glass slowly rose up, blocking the sight of the person who got off the car.

"How did you...?" After leaving the vicinity of University B, Guan Yichu really asked.

Zhou Weixia smiled feebly, "It's about work, I just met by chance."

Guan Yichu glanced at him while driving, saw that his face was a little pale, and asked with concern, "Uncomfortable?"

"No." Zhou Weixia said, but he really felt extremely tired, as if something that had been hiding in his heart for a long time and supported him suddenly collapsed.

The voice next to him was obviously very close to him, but it couldn't occupy his mind at all.

"Go back and rest early." Guan Yichu drove the car to the gate of the villa and patted his hand.

Zhou Weixia didn't pay attention to his movements, opened the car door mechanically and got out of the car, then remembered again, and added, "Brother Guan, what happened just now... don't tell my sister."

"I'll go back to Teacher Yan next month. I don't want her to worry."

Guan Yichu understood, nodded, "Understood, let's go back and rest."

Zhou Weixia didn't sleep well that night, and taking two melatonin pills didn't have any effect.Early the next morning, he suffered from a terrible headache, but he insisted on getting up and going to the exhibition hall.

Hurry up and finish curating, and you won't see him again.

With this idea in mind, Zhou Weixia was busy in the museum all morning, regardless of whether he was deluding himself or not.At lunch time, he specially found an intern student from the Art Academy of B University, and asked her to help Ye Xingzhi's idea interview on the excuse that he couldn't leave today.

After finishing the exhibition hall layout in the afternoon, Zhou Weixia and another assistant went around in a circle.Probably because he finally finished his work, the other party suddenly commented a few words, "It's really... eight of the ten pictures are learning from Lucian." He walked to the "Outdoor Cafe" and said, "There are two more. Learn from Van Gogh."

Zhou Weixia smiled, but didn't answer his words.

"But this painting is too superficial. The perspective and brushstrokes are..." The other party shook his head.

Zhou Weixia had already walked away for a few meters, but he couldn't help but stop and said, "Different people look at the same painting, and the desirable parts are different."

He looked up at the painting on the wall slightly, and suddenly remembered the "Knulp" he had seen in Nuenen, and said, "He is learning that kind of color. It's like... he also loves light, but I am learning not to chase the light, but to chase the sun.”

There was a moment of silence in the exhibition hall, and the assistant looked at him in surprise, "You seem to be very moved by this painting?"

"No." Zhou Weixia recovered, and immediately denied it.He turned his back and walked on, checking the lighting and placement of other works.

Just two steps away, a head suddenly poked out from the entrance of the exhibition hall, the intern waved and said, "Brother Zhou, can you come out?"

"What's the matter?" Zhou Weixia walked towards her, recalled the matter of the client at noon, and asked, "That idea briefly describes you..."

His words stopped abruptly when he saw the man leaning against the wall outside the door.The intern smiled and said, "When I contacted you just now, Mr. Ye said he was free in the afternoon, so he came here directly."

Zhou Weixia: "..."

Ye Xingzhi straightened up, walked past the student to Zhou Weixia, looked at him straight in the eye and said, "Are we talking here, or are we going somewhere else?"

"Let's go to the workshop on the third floor." The intern interrupted, "Brother Zhou, are you free now? I'll go to the bathroom. Can I go upstairs to find you later?"

Zhou Weixia took a step back a little later, and just about to refuse, Ye Xingzhi had already politely smiled at the little girl, and said first, "Go."

When the girl disappeared around the corner, Zhou Weixia didn't want to make any more entanglements, and was about to leave, "Just wait for her to come over."

"Zhou Weixia." Ye Xingzhi stopped him, his tone seemed to be filled with anger, "Can't we even talk about work?"

Zhou Weixia stabilized his shaky body, and said, "I don't understand your works, I'd better wait for the professional interns from the academy to talk to you."

"Don't understand?" Ye Xingzhi reached out and pulled his arm, forcing him to turn his head to face himself, and said softly, "I heard what you just said inside."

He stared into those eyes, as if whispering, "I don't think anyone understands better than you."
