Mr Gingerbread

The pearl necklace is very beautiful, dignified and elegant in the gift box. Song Jingqiu liked it very much after seeing it, and kept saying that he would wear it when he went on stage to receive the award.

Lu Ming was tired from the long journey, and was sent upstairs by the old man of the Han family to rest early after dinner. Han Qiaoyu also went up with him. It was as if he hadn't heard the old man calling him downstairs, and his face became thicker.

After Lu Ming took a shower, he fell asleep. Han Qiaoyu took a towel and dried him up. After wiping for a while, he didn't want to leave, so he just lay down and slept with him.

Lu Ming didn't wake up until midnight, and he was hungry again. Han Qiaoyu went downstairs to make fried rice and the two ate it secretly. They couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other while eating.

Lu Ming said with emotion: "It's really not easy for you to be a young master. You always steal meals with me."

Han Qiaoyu wiped the rice grains at the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and said with a smile, "It's not bad to steal it once in a while."

Lu Ming poked his chest, and asked him half-jokingly: "Tell me honestly, when I was outside, who else would you miss here besides me?"

Han Qiaoyu thought about it seriously, and felt that Lu Ming's fingers on his chest began to tighten, and he immediately grasped it: "Besides you, there is another Lu Hongjian, I don't know if you recognize him? The painting is very good, it is my father's favorite. A painter. He also said that if I chased Lu Hongjian home, he would give me a house and a car. I calculated it, and the deal was pretty good..."

Lu Ming put his hands on his chest and said, "Your father is upstairs, so you can speak from your conscience."

Han Qiaoyu smiled. Lu Ming had no idea how much Mr. Han liked him, and maybe he didn't know that the people around him were silently waiting for the two of them to get together.But since we have been waiting for so many years, this last bit of time is not too late. Sometimes, Han Qiaoyu finds it very interesting to see Lu Ming foolishly fighting for the happiness of both of them.

It seems like being pampered by Lu Ming, this feeling is really good.

Lu Ming rested the next day, but he also went out with Han Qiaoyu. He had two days left this time, and he agreed to help his senior from the Academy of Fine Arts to set up the exhibition.

Han Qiaoyu personally sent the man to the meeting place, and before getting off the car, he kissed him twice before letting him go out. He rolled down the car window and told him repeatedly: "I will pick you up at noon to eat, don't run around, just wait for me here .”

Lu Ming nodded: "Understood, you should also be careful on the road."

A lot of paintings have been transported to the exhibition hall, and some places are adjusting the height of the wooden shelves placed, and many people are busy inside.

Lu Ming first went in and walked around for a while.This time is Xu Tu's calligraphy and painting solo exhibition. He has been with Dean Sun for the longest time, and he has achieved good results after so many years of hard work. This time he won a domestic award, and his reputation has gradually increased. The solo exhibition went smoothly.

Lu Ming was watching slowly, when he turned the corner and bumped into an acquaintance.

Sun Boxian was instructing the workers to reposition the painting on the wall, but he didn't see Lu Ming, so he took two steps back, and the two bumped into each other without paying attention.

Lu Ming recognized him first, and said with a smile, "Brother, what a coincidence."

Sun Boxian was pleasantly surprised to see him, and stopped talking to the workers, and said to him: "You came just in time, Xu Tu went to the hospital today, there are few people here, come and help."

Lu Ming walked over and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Senior Brother Xu?"

Sun Boxian said: "He accompanied his wife to the hospital for an examination. It's a happy event. There may be a baby at home."

Lu Ming smiled and said: "This is really good news, then I will stay for two more days to help Senior Brother Xu, it just so happens that I have a few days off."

Sun Boxian took him to make arrangements for the exhibition hall of the venue, and also called the students who came to help, and asked them to obey Lu Ming's assignment and start working together.He and Lu Ming have cooperated many times, and they were all taught by Dean Sun. Many choices can be discussed together. After Lu Ming joined, the work efficiency has improved a lot.

After a busy morning, Sun Boxian looked around and ordered hot drinks for everyone.

Both of them are teachers of the Academy of Fine Arts, and the students were a little cautious, so Sun Boxian took Lu Ming to a place where there were few people, and found a seat to sit down and chat with him.

Lu Ming sat there with a cup of hot tea in his hand, drinking it very slowly. Sun Boxian looked at it for a while and said with a smile, "You really still like to drink this."

Lu Ming said: "Actually, it's all right, I don't choose."

Sun Boxian said: "You? You don't want to choose. I used to go to dinner together. I only moved two chopsticks during the whole meal, and I only drank mineral water, let alone alcohol. I told them that you were allergic, but in fact you didn't You’re just a picky eater, and you don’t know who will take care of you in the future.”

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Some are allergic."

Sun Boxian made a few jokes with him, and his mind relaxed. Over the years, Lu Ming's sharpness has not diminished. He seems restrained, but he is also more attractive.Sun Boxian has thought about it now. He went out to study for a few years and regretted what happened to Lu Ming and himself. But when he asked himself, he admired Lu Ming more, like a painting. After all, his feelings are different from those of other people. Not the same.

Now that he sees Lu Ming again, he can calm down in his heart. After the bitterness is gone, when he sees him again, he will only have the same faint love in his heart as before.Lu Ming was originally his source of inspiration and a model for his paintings. After many years, they could still sit down together and chat like old friends, so he was already very content.

The two chatted about the changes in the Academy of Fine Arts over the years. Lu Ming had never left the Academy of Fine Arts and knew more about it. Sun Boxian told him slowly when he asked him.After all, they are all people in the circle, and after mentioning a few acquaintances, they will gradually connect. The circle is small, and there are only a few acquaintances after turning over and over.

Sun Boxian said with emotion: "There are fewer and fewer people who can stay. The phrase 'never change your original intention' is easy to say. As far as I know, many people have switched to other careers. Those who can stay and persevere until now Too few." Speaking of this, he naturally talked about the gallery. He has cooperated with Sosekizhai a lot in the past two years, and his relationship with Han Qiaoyu has also improved a little.It's rare that I didn't say anything about the gallery this time.

Lu Ming also knew that the two of them didn't like each other, so he interrupted, pointed to a painting in front of him, and asked: "Brother, what do you think of this position, do you want to change it later, I think it's better to be taller .”

Sun Boxian looked at what he pointed for a while, then moved his finger a little more, and said with a smile: "It's not bad here, let the workers change it later. Lu Ming, it's too humiliating for you to do odd jobs for Xu Tu, why don't you do it for me?" You are a model, you are not allowed to draw people, at least let me draw your hands."

Lu Ming simply put his hands in his pockets. The light-colored cashmere coat was thick, and his face was extraordinarily fair. Lu Ming smiled and said, "Forget it, I still want to spend some time in peace. Brother, please don't provoke our family." The family is at odds."

Sun Boxian also laughed and said, "You're so afraid of guilt before you're married?"

Lu Ming nodded seriously.

Sun Boxian was amused by him, but also a little emotional.

After Lu Ming finished his tea, he got up to get the scattered tools. Sun Boxian saw it and hurriedly said: "Don't move, you can't do these rough jobs, be careful of hurting your hands."

Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "I do more at home than this."

Sun Boxian snorted: "I knew that businessmen were unreliable, how could they know that the painter's life is these hands."

Lu Ming said: "Brother, you can't let me stop working at all."

Sun Boxian said: "You are the same as in the morning, just give instructions, and don't touch the others." He put on gloves himself, but his hands were very neat, and he said a few words to Lu Ming while working: "Some people can't stand loneliness. It’s a pity that you can’t bear hardships and use a pair of talented hands to do other things. You can still paint for many years and concentrate on painting. Take good care of your hands. I will do these for you, and you will be me once model……"

After talking for a long time and then came back, Lu Ming also heard that he was joking, and said half-truth, "Then you help me make an application, and I will go if my family agrees."

Sun Boxian said: "I won't beg that profiteer."

Lu Ming: "..."

Lu Ming thought to himself, if Han Qiaoyu was here, he would definitely look at him with a look of "who is this poor man?" In terms of momentum, Boss Han has never lost to anyone.

These two people are still the same as before, Sun Boxian is a painter and a literary worker, Han Qiaoyu has nothing else, that is, a lot of money.If two people are two collectors, then one thinks that the person who collects the painting must first like it, hang it from a distance to appreciate and praise it.The other one thinks I like it, so I buy it, and there is nothing wrong with hiding it at home.

Sun Boxian didn't like Han Qiaoyu's stench of copper, and Han Qiaoyu couldn't understand his poor appearance.

Really dislike each other.

Lu Ming thought for a while about how the two of them met, and couldn't help laughing.

Sun Boxian directed a worker to install the pendant. It was Lu Ming who pointed out that he had changed the position just now. The worker didn't understand, and tried to say: "Professor Sun, the position was determined according to what you said just now, there is nothing wrong... "

Sun Boxian said patiently: "Now after we have discussed it, we want to make some changes, please."

The worker wanted to say something, but was slapped by the slightly older worker next to him, who slapped his hat a little lower, and lowered his head.The foreman reprimanded him in a low voice: "Professor Sun tells you to change whatever you want, you talk too much!" After the training, he apologized to Sun Boxian, "Professor Sun, I'm sorry, he just came today, but he used to I have worked in a gallery before, and I know a little about assembling accessories and framing, so I have no problem doing things.”

Sun Boxian smiled, always gentle and polite: "Then I will trouble you."

The worker straightened his hat and resumed his work. This time he didn't say a word, and his movements were neat. It could be seen that he often did physical work.After Sun Boxian asked him to change it, he called Lu Ming again and asked, "Is this all right?"

Lu Ming stood not far away, nodded and said, "Yes."

Only then did Sun Boxian smile and said: "It's ok, please come down, just hang there and don't move anymore."

The worker agreed, lowered his head and climbed down from the ladder.

Two students came from Lu Ming's side to ask about things. They listened sideways, but they didn't notice that the people behind them were looking at him with complicated eyes.The man looked at it for a short time, and quickly covered the brim of his hat with his hand, moved the ladder and left.

At noon, Sun Boxian wanted to treat guests to dinner, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "No need, my family will come to pick them up."

Sun Boxian said: "Is it not enough for an hour?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Why don't you call him and let's go together?"

Sun Boxian immediately fell silent.

Lu Ming felt this novel experience carefully, and suddenly understood the feeling of Han Qiaoyu using him as an excuse to hide from drinking. For some reason, he was a little proud when he said that "family members" did not allow it.

Han Qiaoyu came on time at noon, Lu Ming answered the phone, and went to the door, Sun Boxian sent him a few steps, gave a few instructions about safety on the road, and then went back.

On the contrary, Han Qiaoyu kept watching his back in the car, and when he was gone, he frowned and said, "This exhibition belongs to Sun Boxian?"

Lu Ming said: "Brother Xu Tu from the Calligraphy and Painting Academy, he came to help, and happened to meet him."

Han Qiaoyu's brows were still not loosened, and he looked unhappy.

Lu Ming was amused by him, stretched out two fingers for him to stretch his brows, and said, "He still wants me to be a model. He said that this time he won't draw portraits, but can he draw hands?"

Han Qiaoyu said, "You agreed?"

Lu Ming shook his head and said with a smile, "How can I do that? I'll ask the family when I talk about it."

The Han family immediately stated: "Don't show him a single finger."

Lu Ming said: "Okay."

The two went to a private restaurant to eat vegetarian dishes. The owner of this restaurant believed in Buddhism and was quite devout. He was receiving a wandering master to discuss Buddhism.

Han Qiaoyu has a little personal relationship with the boss, and was warmly invited by the boss to listen to a few words together.

The old monk said that seeing him was a good fate, and gave Lu Ming and Han Qiaoyu a string of sandalwood beads.After sending it off, he raised his slightly cloudy eyes, chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Benefactor, I think you may have a bloody disaster in the near future."

Lu Ming held the prayer beads: "..."

Lu Ming thought to himself that this is too routine, and he has never seen a more straightforward deception than this. Sending things first, and then spending money to disperse disasters?As soon as he heard the beginning, he felt a bit of disbelief in his heart, and he didn't take it seriously when he heard the old monk muttering a few more words in a fog, and got up to leave after he finished speaking.

The old monk looked indifferent, and said: "What the monk said is true, if it is not you, it is the people around you."

Lu Ming didn't listen, but Han Qiaoyu donated a small amount of incense money to the old monk and bought a so-called amulet.After he came out, he didn't rush on his way, he took out the amulet in the car and put it on Lu Ming.

Lu Ming pulled the red rope and asked him, "Do you believe this too?"

Han Qiaoyu put it back for him again, and said, "It's better to believe it, I think you are safe and well."

Seeing his serious appearance, Lu Ming softened his heart, and stopped saying nothing to quietly ask Han Qiaoyu to stuff the amulet into his clothes and put it close to his body.
