I am happy to be with Xu Kesen!He is a man who has traveled all over the world. He has a wide range of knowledge and knowledge, and his conversation is elegant and interesting. When chatting with him, there is never a cold silence. I have never felt such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere before.

Xu Kesen said: "In fact, painters should go out more. When you first came, I thought you were a traveler, but I didn't expect you to settle here."

As he spoke, he looked at me, as if he hadn't finished speaking.

I waited for a few seconds to make sure Xu Kesen would not continue before I said: "Yeah, I never thought I would live here for so long, maybe it's really fate! I like it here."

Xu Kesen laughed muffledly: "Because of you, I like this place too."

My heart skipped a beat for an instant, and I looked sideways, only to see Xu Kesen staring ahead with clear eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

He turned his face and looked at me: "What? Am I wrong? Because you are here, we have such a good studio, and we have an exhibition in two days!"

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Xu Kesen meant this.

Thinking of the art exhibition not long after, I couldn't help but smile: "This is also the first art exhibition in my life! I'm so excited."

The art exhibition two days later is actually not a solo show for me alone, but a collection of young painters from the entire Cannes. Everyone gathered together and each contributed three works to hold such an art exhibition.
Xu Kesen is one of the investors. He himself also studied painting, so he is very interested in this art exhibition.

We walked to the small shop specializing in glutinous rice ribs, and there were still some lights on here, and the proprietress was still busy in the mist, and when she saw a customer coming, she greeted her warmly.

Soon, two servings of hot glutinous rice ribs were served.There is a layer of steamed soft and sweet glutinous rice on the pork ribs wrapped in lotus leaves. The meat of the pork ribs is perfectly combined with the aroma of glutinous rice, accompanied by the refreshing taste of lotus leaves.

After eating three yuan in a row, I couldn't stop nodding: "It's delicious."

When the proprietress heard me complimenting her, she smiled brightly: "It's good as long as it's delicious, eat slowly."

The glutinous rice ribs here probably have some exclusive recipe. I have been here for several years, and their business has always been so booming.Don't look at people who only sell this dish, but they are still able to manage the small shop so well.

I ate with relish, Xu Kesen suddenly said: "I feel delicious when you look at the way you eat, and you feel that everything is delicious when you look at it."

I looked up in surprise, but found that the ribs on Xu Kesen's plate didn't seem to be moving much. I said, "Aren't you hungry? Eat quickly."

Xu Kesen smiled: "Okay, I'll eat right away."

We concentrated on eating all the ribs, and I was satisfied with my full stomach.

Xu Kesen insisted on a treat, and I did not refuse.It's just a glutinous rice spare ribs, I'll just ask him back next time.

On the way back, we kept chatting about the art exhibition, and the more we talked, the more I admired him.This is a man not much older than me who has accomplished so much at such a young age.

Thinking of this, I can't help feeling a bit ashamed.

Xu Kesen sent me all the way to the studio. When we parted, he asked me, "Have you thought about going back to Jiangcheng?"

Suddenly hearing this word from Xu Kesen's mouth, I was startled, and the expression on my face became unnatural: "Why... do you want to go back to Jiangcheng?"

I could feel Xu Kesen's gaze watching me, and this feeling made me even more nervous.I am trying to forget everything that happened in Jiangcheng. Except for that person's name, I seldom think about the past now.

Xu Kesen smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, it's just... there will be a national oil painting competition in Jiangcheng next month, I think you can try to participate."

Contest?This is an area that I have been thinking about but have never had the courage to touch.

Any young painter who wants to increase his chips will grow up from these competitions, and every blessing of the aura will give the painter the motivation to continue to move forward.

Why don't I want to?
However, the location is in Jiangcheng... This made me hesitate again.

Xu Kesen didn't rush me either. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "I have an application form here. If you're interested, just fill it out and give it to me. I'll hand it in for you."

I have to admit, the temptation was too great. I reached out and took the thin piece of paper, and browsed it roughly.Finally, I saw the address at the bottom of the registration form, and it really said Jiangcheng City!
My heart was burning again, and I was at a loss for what to do with anticipation and worry.

Xu Kesen said softly: "You don't have to worry, just let me know if you have made up your mind three days before the registration. It doesn't matter even if you tear up this registration form and regret it, I still have a few spare ones."

Listening to Xu Kesen's words, I actually calmed down a lot, and looked at him with embarrassment: "I won't tear it up."

Xu Kesen raised his eyebrows: "That's good, I thank you for not tearing the paper in your hand."

I was amused by him, carefully put away the registration form and put it in the bag: "Don't worry, I will think about it carefully, thank you."

After simply saying goodnight to Xu Kesen, I returned to my room to rest, and I still couldn't calm down for a long time.Competition, Jiangcheng, these two words keep coming and going in my mind.

I know that I can go back now. I have already done the things I promised, and now five full years have passed. I don't care about those people's opinions at all.

But why am I still so scared?

What am I afraid of?Afraid of the man I still can't let go of in my dream?Afraid to hear even a little bit about him and her?

My heart was in a mess, I picked up the phone and called Huo Qingbai without even caring about checking the time.

After leaving Jiangcheng, Huo Qingbai is the only friend I still keep in touch with.

"Hello," Huo Qingbai's voice sounded a little confused.

I hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, did I disturb your rest? I forgot the time for a while, I'm really sorry."

Huo Qingbai laughed: "I'd rather you bother me so often, tell me what's wrong? Is there anything bothering you so late that you can't sleep?"

Huo Qingbai really understands me very well!When I left Jiangcheng, I also asked him to take care of Aunt Zeng for me. Huo Qingbai didn't ask a word, and directly took care of the aftermath for me.This love, I will always remember it in my heart.

I hesitated for a while and said, "Well, there is something wrong. Tell me, can I go back to Jiangcheng now?"

Huo Qingbai was stunned, and it took him a long time to reply: "Are you coming back?"

There was suppressed surprise in his voice, and he said again: "Of course! When? What date? Tomorrow?"
