who's next

"Why didn't you apply to study in Aphrodite? I remember that they gave the Academy of Fine Arts three places to study abroad." Chi Yan asked directly before entering the room, and his eager eyes became sharp at this time serious.

Ji Huai filled her with tea, without changing his face, he said: "I have no obsession with painting."

"You don't have to lie to me." Chi Yan put the teacup down hard, "If you had no obsession, it would be impossible to draw a work like "Starry Night"."

"Starry Night" was an oil painting conceived by Ji Huai before he fell off the cliff in Biyuantan. It was when he sensed Ruan Yuchen's intentions. That moment was like a fuse, igniting Ji Huai's emotions that had no place to vent.Therefore, he completed the painting in an extremely complicated state of mind.

"Starry Night" carries all the negative energy that Ji Huai has accumulated over the years, and is the heaviest of all his works.It is clearly a beautiful scenery, but no matter from the color or composition, the author's depression can be tasted.Like a butterfly trapped in a thick cocoon, flapping its wings desperately trying to break through the shackles, but in vain.

Ji Huai still couldn't figure out what he was shrinking from, but when he saw Chi Yan today, he understood.

Compared to Chi Yan's excitement, Ji Huai was much calmer, and he said with a normal expression: "I'm afraid that if I continue walking, I will become like you and my father."

That's right, Ji Huai didn't have any emotional constraints before, he could dedicate his whole body to art.But now, Chi Yan made up for his lack of family affection, and Ruan Yuchen gave him a taste of the sweetness of love.

Ji Huai has a cold personality and can always choose the best option among countless choices, but now he has become hesitant.

He is afraid that emotions will influence his decision-making and make irrational choices.The shadow brought by the misfortune of his parents to Ji Huai is not limited to his childhood, but has been left over from time to time.

For a while, the room fell into a long dead silence.Chi Yan's arrogance gradually faded, and she stared at Ji Huai with compassion.

Since Chi Yan entered the door, Ruan Yuchen went to the bedroom to avoid it by himself, leaving the living room for the mother and son to communicate.At the same time, he was curious about the content of the conversation between the two of them, so he quietly listened by the crack of the door.

Sensing the weirdness of the scene, when Ruan Yuchen was wondering whether to go out to adjust the atmosphere, Ji Huai spoke.

"I love painting, but I prefer to be a normal person."

At this moment, Chi Yan was no longer in the mood to persuade. She took out a business card from her bag, pressed it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Ji Huai, with a blunt tone: "No matter what your decision is, I will strive for the best interests for you. This is Your father's best friend, one of the survivors of the blizzard."

Ji Huai lowered his head to look at the business card, on which was written in big gold-stamped characters: Rong Yin.His pupils dilated for a moment, seemingly unbelievable.

Rong Yin is one of the most prestigious contemporary painters. He taught at the Aphrodite Academy for decades, and then resigned to travel around.The dean asked him to return to school many times, but he ignored him.

And this person has a quirk, he will do his best to tutor during school, and once he graduates, he will cut off contact with all students, without exception.

Ji Huai likes his works very much. They are eerie and gorgeous, with bold colors and rich imagination, similar to the style of Van Gogh.

"Your father is kind to Uncle Rong, and he also thinks you are very spiritual. If you figure it out, contact him directly. You can learn a lot of things from Uncle Rong that you never got to know at school."

Chi Yan left these words and left, Ji Huai picked up the business card, rubbed the sunken bronzing characters with his thumb in a daze.He didn't even notice that Ruan Yuchen came out of the bedroom and sat down next to him.

"You want to go." Ruan Yuchen caught off guard and pulled back Ji Huai Youshen's thoughts.

"It's important, I have to think about it."

"Anyway, I support you unconditionally." Ruan Yuchen took Ji Huai's hands and rubbed them on his face, "Don't be unhappy."

Ji Huai looked at him calmly: "What about you?"

Ruan Yuchen pretended to be stupid and said in a daze: "Oh, are you worried that I will be alone in the empty boudoir?"

Ji Huai didn't speak, his gaze was like a bright light, staring at Ruan Yuchen with a guilty conscience.

"You know what I'm asking."

Ruan Yuchen couldn't pretend anymore, so he had to compromise: "Of course, I like e-sports, but I was heartbroken by it. Is it normal to cherish life and stay away from e-sports from now on?"

Ji Huai put it bluntly: "Don't pretend, if you want to go back, you want to go back, and it's not shameful, there is nothing to hide."

Ruan Yuchen paused, then covered his eyes helplessly and sighed: "You really can't give me face..."

After a long conversation, the two eyes met, and both read the answers they wanted from each other's eyes.

The next day, Ruan Yuchen went outside the third ring road to pick and choose, and found a well-equipped Internet cafe.Then he used Professor Sun's line to contact the team members who had been with GW.Some people are willing to come back, and some people start over and do other things to make a living.

Under Ji Huai's guidance, Ruan Yuchen's goal gradually became clear. He wanted to rebuild the GW team and regain the long-lost sense of blood.

After determining the training location, the next step is to solve the problem of accommodation.Ruan Yuchen took out the savings at the bottom of the box and spent all his money to rent an old-fashioned three-story house for the team members to live in.

He was accompanied by Ji Huai throughout the whole process. He was a little tired, but full of motivation.

On the road of life, it is a blessing to have the support and companionship of lovers.

By the time everything was back on track, more than half a month had passed.

Ji Huai contacted Rong Yin during this period, and he cheerfully explained his request: "You can't let others know that you are my student, otherwise I will be annoyed to death by those old scholars. In addition, I suggest you think carefully and follow me It means that you have to live in no fixed place, and you will not be able to see your relatives and friends throughout the year."

"I know, it's because I've thought about it that I contacted you." Ji Huai replied without hesitation, almost without thinking.

After preparing for so long, he has no fear.

The night before the farewell, Ruan Yuchen cooked a sumptuous western meal for Ji Huai.The snow-white tablecloth was spotless, and several silver-plated candlesticks were placed in the middle of the banquet. The fire was lingering, and the transparent candle tears slowly solidified during the dripping process.

Ruan Yuchen picked up the goblet, and the clear red liquid swayed along the wall of the cup, and his facial features flickered with the flickering candlelight.

"I'm a bit reconciled..." Ruan Yuchen chuckled self-deprecatingly, and muttered to himself in a low voice, "We haven't been intimate yet, so I don't know how long we'll have to wait to see you again."

Before Ji Huaigang could swallow the red wine, he suddenly got up and walked towards Ruan Yuchen, pinching his chin and forcing him to look up.Then bent down to his lips, and poured the red wine into his mouth.The mellow and rich liquid has a long-lasting fragrance between the teeth, and the clumsy tip of the tongue tentatively touches it.

Ruan Yuchen's mind went blank, and the wine slid down the corner of his mouth, passed through the rolling Adam's apple, and sank into the looming collarbone, leaving ambiguous marks on the collar of his shirt.

I don't know if the atmosphere is too charming, or Ji Huai is too gentle, Ruan Yuchen is a little drunk.

The edges and corners of Ji Huai's delicate face were worn away by the warm light, and there was a little bit of hazy light in his clear pupils.His eyelashes flickered, and his thin lips moved: "We each work hard, and then we will meet at the top."
