Chapter 06 Don't Ask ([-])

"Hey, brother Ye? Jiang Chi should come here by himself. I saw him driving in the parking lot, so I won't come here for now. I'll pick up the young lady directly..."

Tang Ye hung up Lin Xiangdi's call, but in fact he didn't listen to what Lin Xiangdi was saying.He looked at the man, he was much more mature than when he left, and he should have grown taller too.But Tang Ye didn't take a good look at him when he left, and didn't say goodbye.

Tang Ye walked over.

"Artist Tang... Tang Ye, long time no see."

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

Tang Ye shook Jiang Chi's outstretched hand, and said something so bland.Tang Ye cheered himself up in his heart, it's okay, it's okay, don't panic, it's been more than ten years since we met each other, don't be cowardly, don't be cowardly, calm down.Tang Ye calmed down and led Jiang Chi in.

"There is a question I just wanted to ask you, do you want to hear it?" Jiang Chi asked as he touched his cuff buttons while walking.

Tang Ye protected Jiang Chi and walked forward. Hearing this, he couldn't help tilting his head and glanced at Jiang Chi. He met Jiang Chi's eyes, "...you can ask."

"Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you why the name of this art exhibition is called 'Don't Ask'. Hey, don't tell me it's called 'Don't Ask' because I don't want others to ask.”

"No." Tang Ye didn't expect Jiang Chi to ask him this, "'Don't ask' means...memories, there is still a future."

"When I was in Paris, no one asked where I was from, and no one wondered where I would go in the future. Everyone just did their own thing, and every exchange had to be exchanged for equivalent value. Capital Is the world of communism too indifferent?"

Tang Ye smiled and continued, "'Don't ask about Chang'an, don't ask about Chang'an' I kept thinking of this sentence in Paris. During those days, I thought, this is to tell me that I should go back to Chang'an. It has been more than ten years. I still have some concerns and want to be able to hug. I don’t have much courage when I come back. I’m full of enthusiasm. I can only smile when many people ask me. I haven’t thought it through yet. I can’t give an answer, so I think Let’s call the art exhibition ‘Don’t Ask’, it will give me the answer.”

Jiang Chi approached and stopped in front of this wall, looking up at Tang Ye's cursive writing of 'Don't ask'.Tang Ye wrote directly on the white wall. His handwriting is beautiful, even with a soft pen.Jiang Chi didn't know the name of Tang Ye's art exhibition before, he just thought that Tang Ye was busy recently, and he always wanted to create some conditions for them to meet again, so he drove to Qujiang by himself.As soon as he entered Qujiang New District, he saw the billboard of Tang Ye's Art Exhibition at first sight, with the words "Don't Ask" written on it.Jiang Chi suddenly wanted to see Tang Ye urgently, and wanted to ask him something, anything was fine, as long as it was him.

After Tang Ye finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chi beside him, but Jiang Chi didn't say anything, Tang Ye felt nervous in his heart.Jiang Chi stopped for a while and said to Tang Ye, "Lin Xiangdi will send my mother and Jiang Zhu back in a while, and he will tell my family the truth. He said that I asked you to stay with me because I came, and there is no way to send them away." It's two, let Lin Xiangdi say goodbye for you. Don't worry, both of them know what's going on with me, and they won't blame you behind my back."

"it is good."

"Tang Ye." Jiang Chi raised his hand to wipe his eyes, but said nothing, "Tang Ye, I don't know the purpose of your coming back this time. Actually, I'm not strong at all. I want you to tell me yourself."

"it is good."

"You still like Cézanne so much." Jiang Chi pointed to Tang Ye's copy of "The Bay of Esteque", with the original photos of Cézanne attached to it. These were all taken by Tang Ye himself when he first arrived in France.

"Cézanne is very important to me. This is the reason why I chose France. I have always dreamed, you know, not to be as successful as Cézanne, but to love color and vision like him."

Tang Ye stood next to Jiang Chi, the parting in high school was too hasty, Jiang Chi only remembered the bay in Tang Ye's dream, Tang Ye didn't tell him more.On this midsummer morning, Tang Ye continued his dream for Jiang at his painting exhibition.

Tang Ye's art exhibition is divided into two floors, the first floor is for everyone to show works, and the second floor is for personal friends to show photographic works.Half of the first floor is Cézanne's works copied by Tang Ye, and the other half is Tang Ye's original impressionist works.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Ye also found direction from Cézanne just as Cézanne got inspiration from Pissarro.Tang Ye turned his head and looked at Jiang Chi, who was seriously looking at his paintings. He thought, if Cézanne is the soul of his creation, then Jiang Chi is the inspiration that Tang Ye carved into his bones.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is Xiaoyi's first brain hole, which came to him suddenly when he thought about it before going to bed.Because of the story of Tang Ye and Jiang Chi, Xiaoyi decided to open this trap.

The number of words in this chapter is relatively small (although there were not many before...) Xiaoyi thought about it, it is better to stop here

Cézanne was a French impressionist painter, and Pissarro was like his teacher. Cezanne got a lot of inspiration from Pissarro.

I hope that you who read the article can also get inspiration from the stories of Tang Ye and Jiang Chi, it is a great honor. ?
