The Romance of a Young Painter

What happened to Meng Meng in the dream was indeed embarrassing, but the car accident himself was also very sad. Zhou Nianjiu pinched his undamaged right hand, touched the bruises on his face that had not faded, and suddenly sighed: "Sure enough, beauty is a disaster. The ancients never deceived me."

Seeing his serious look from a distance, Wen Wenming was a little bit dumbfounded, and slapped him lightly, "What kind of beauty is troublesome, what does a big kid know?" Seeing that he hadn't opened up yet, he suffered a big loss, fearing that it would affect his mental development. , and enlightened, "Xiao Nian, there are many girls who are beautiful and good-natured, don't give up the whole forest just because of a crooked neck tree."

Gu Nianjiu lay down on the desk, covered her head with a reference book: "Dad, I'm only seventeen next month, okay, don't worry about finding a girlfriend."

"Okay, don't be in a hurry," Wen Wenyuan couldn't help but said, "Actually, it's best to look for it like your mother did, and I guarantee you won't suffer."

Zhou Nianjiu said in a voice he could only hear: "That's not necessarily true, it might be even worse than it is now."

Wenming didn't know what he was mumbling about, but he also knew it was definitely not a good thing, so he lifted the book on his head and said, "Okay, don't think about it. You have been staying at home for a few days, and you will go out with Dad later." .”

The sun outside was very poisonous, Zhou Nianjiu didn't really want to go out, so he said, "Why go, I still have to study."

Wen Wenyuan helped him put the books away, and said, "It's not too late, your brother will be back tomorrow, and Dad is going to make a big purchase, so you go with him to carry things."

Zhou Nianjiu straightened up helplessly: "Okay."

The father and son drove to the shopping mall, and Wen Wenyuan just billed and swiped his card when he saw something pleasing to the eye, and Zhou Nianjiu acted as a follower in the back.It can be seen that Wen Wenyuan is in a good mood. He has not gone out with his son for a long time. Although he is the one who buys and buys most of the time, Zhou Nianjiu only occasionally expresses his opinions. He is also very content. After all, such things are completely hopeless The eldest son has always had a stinky face when he was a child when he went shopping in Wenjuan.

Speaking of Wen Ju'an, Wen Wenyuan thought that in a sense, his eldest son was fine.Wen Juan has been a "child of someone else's family" since he was a child. Every time a parent meeting is held, many people come to learn from the scriptures. Wen Wenyuan feels that there is nothing to say, it is all the child's self-consciousness, and the adults have never interfered, but people don't believe it. So Wenmingyuan always talks nonsense with his eyes open, anyway Wen Juan will not expose him.In fact, in the first year of Wen Juan's adoption, Wenmingyuan discovered that the child was precocious, and his manners were well-educated. He was not like an ordinary poor child. After an in-depth conversation with Ju An, Wen Wenyuan never asked about his background.Later, Wen Wenyuan met Zhou Sulan, and two more people were added to the family. In order to provide better living conditions for his wife and children, he resolutely resigned from his original nine-to-five unit and started his own company. After a few years, he has become quite wealthy.Wen Wenming is far from the kind of person with big ambitions. He would rather spend more time with his family than fighting fiercely in the mall. However, Zhou Sulan passed away in the past few years, and Wen Juan went to other places to study immediately, and only his youngest son, Zhou Nianjiu, was by his side. Can comfort this Cancer man who lives at home.

"Dad, it's almost there." Zhou Nianjiu looked at the big and small bags in his hand, and protested directly to Wenming Yuan, he had already delivered things to the car twice, and if he bought them again, he would be able to drink a pot just to pack them up.

"Okay, let's do that first." Although he was a little unsure, Wen Wenyuan decided to accept it as soon as it was ready, "I'm done eating out tonight, what do you want to eat?"

"It's all right."

"Father knows that there is a good Chaozhou restaurant, so go eat there today." Wen Wenyuan is happy to worry about these details of life, and arranges the basic necessities of life for the family very well. To a certain extent, Wen Juan and Zhou Nianjiu are not raised Crooked is also a miracle.

"Yeah." Zhou Nianjiu had no objection, anyway, Wen Wenyuan's picks suit his taste.

Today is not the weekend, but there are quite a lot of people in the store, and the private rooms are already full, Wen Wenming is far less concerned about this, so he directly picked a seat by the window in the lobby and started ordering.

Zhou Nianjiu took out her mobile phone to play, and felt a little bored after swiping for a while, so she inadvertently looked out the window.The restaurant is next to the alley, and the outside scene can be seen through the shaded greenery. The restaurant is well-lit, and the outside looks more and more dim and dim. He couldn't help but think of the "Outdoor Cafe at Night". Only helplessness can describe the light and belonging that warm people's hearts. This requires experience, but now he has seen and known too little, and there is still a long way to go to reach that state.

At this moment, a tall figure appeared in the depths of the alley, and Zhou Nianjiu recognized him as Meng Xing.Meng Xing walked quickly, followed by a young man who was chasing after him, because the distance was a little far away, and the young man quickly blocked Meng Xing with his back to this side, Zhou Nianjiu didn't have time to see his face clearly.The boy seemed to be talking anxiously. Meng Xing was a little impatient at first, but then he seemed to be persuaded, and his face began to ease. Then the boy hugged him, and Meng Xing gently stroked the other person buried in his body. The head on the chest, but there was a cold expression on the face that was completely different from the action.

What is Meng Xing doing here?live here?What is their relationship?friend?But there was an intimacy between the two that went beyond friendship.loved ones?But Meng Xing's performance was not like that.Zhou Nianjiu watched as Meng Xing coaxed the boy back with ease, and then walked out of the dark alley alone. The tall figure circled the corner of the street and finally disappeared.

Zhou Nianjiu withdrew his gaze, and then realized that he was actually staring at a person he had only met once for a long time.Apart from the name related to the dream, Meng Xing has an attractive quality, which is an unknown thing that he has never found in other people. His intuition tells him that it is a bit dangerous, but it is also very interesting.After the unpleasant first meeting last time, Zhou Nianjiu tried to reproduce Meng Xing's appearance on the drawing paper, the outline, shape of the eyes, the projection of the eyelashes, the luster of the pupils... It is clear that what the brush depicts is not the same as what he remembers. Consistent, but always feel that something is not enough, he sealed all the drafts in a portfolio, waiting for a more mature opportunity to write.He knows that he needs to go through a stage, a stage of empathy for the foggy unknown world, and interpret this empathy with paintings. He has been looking for a suitable entrance to enter this stage, and now, he Perhaps it has been found.

"Xiao Nian, what are you thinking about?" Wen Wenyuan noticed the smile on his youngest son's face.

"Ah, nothing." Zhou Nianjiu came back to his senses, "I just saw a classmate."

Wenming Yuan followed his line of sight and saw that there was no one outside: "Going away?"

"Well," Zhou Nianjiu explained, "I'm not very familiar either."

"It's polite to say hello to your classmates next time you see them." Wenmingyuan didn't interfere much with the two sons' friendships, and encouraged the shy younger son more.

"Understood." Zhou Nianjiu nodded.

Back home after dinner, Zhou Nianjiu accompanied Wenmingyuan to tidy up all the things he bought, and cleaned up the things that needed to be cleaned, and helped tidy up the rooms at home, especially Wen Juan's bedroom, before taking a shower and going to bed.

- Xiao Nian, are you asleep?

It is Wen Juan's information.

- No, just finished packing.

The phone rang, and Zhou Nianjiu picked it up: "Brother."

"Did Dad make another big fight?" Wen Ju'an could hear the laziness in his voice.

"You know Dad. But this time it's not bad. I just went shopping for half a day and bought you new clothes and shoes for about a year." Zhou Nianjiu let out a smirk, "You can try them on when you come back tomorrow." ,all."

"No."

Zhou Nianjiu could almost imagine his elder brother's headache expression, but it didn't prevent him from getting worse: "Brother, you should be glad that Dad doesn't open a department store."

"Little villain, are you just waiting to see brother's jokes?" Wen Juan's tone was threatening, but a smile came through the voice through the receiver.

"How dare I, my dad also made a bunch of them for me." Zhou Nianjiu also laughed, his loving father is only able to bear it with his mother, but it's a pity that the strongest backup is gone now, thinking of this, he feels a little sad, "So Brother, come back quickly, if you are in trouble, you should understand."

Wen Ju'an could hear the change in his tone, and quickly said: "Don't worry, I will take you out of the sea of ​​suffering when I go back."

"And then fight the sea of ​​questions, right?" Zhou Nianjiu struggled to support his elbows, so he turned over on the bed.

"Aren't you just waiting for this?" Wen Ju'an pretended to be serious, "Student Zhou Nianjiu, this time I made a review plan according to the most stringent standards. You are ready to accept the call."

"I'm waiting, you just let the horse come over." Zhou Nianjiu smiled until his eyes narrowed.

Although they are not biological brothers, Zhou Nianjiu feels that there is a tacit understanding between him and Wen Juan that cannot be compared with other brothers. Perhaps it is because they do not have biological fathers, or it is because Wen Juan's precocity makes him feel like brothers. as father.Because of this kind of tacit understanding, when Zhou Nianjiu encountered difficult decisions in the process of growing up, he usually turned to Wen Juan instead of his loving father Wenmingyuan. This incident made Wenmingyuan feel disappointed for a long time. Fortunately, Zhou Sulan Seeing it clearly, she comforted her husband: Ju An is a sensible person, Xiao Nian will not take detours with him.

Zhou Nianjiu turned his face to look at the family portrait on the bedside table. In the photo, Wen Juan had a tense face, but his eyes were full of tenderness, and the voice from the phone seemed to carry this kind of warmth, which made people feel Become calm iron post.Chatting with Wen Juan for a while, he didn't hang up the phone until he felt sleepy.

Zhou Nianjiu turned off the lights and was about to go to bed, when suddenly his phone vibrated again, he thought it was Wen Juan, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a WeChat group message @ him.

He joined a WeChat group of the small circle of the Artists Association a long time ago, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. The group is very lively tonight. He said that he will hold an exchange art exhibition in S City this month. @他的一个是local An expert sent: "As the host, I will hold a banquet at XX Hotel at X on X, X at X, and I invite you all to come."

Zhou Nianjiu was not interested in the dinner, but he still browsed through the chat history to see who was participating in the exhibition. After a while, he found the promotional picture of the event, which listed some of the exhibited works, and one of them caught his attention: Shen Guangji "Return to Yan".

So he typed a sentence: Will Teacher Shen Guangji himself come over?

Think about it or delete sleep.
