Return to the Road of God

"What's on your mind?" Qin Mengyuan came over and sat next to Guan Hongze.

Guan Hongze shook his head, took a sip of his wine, and said, "How is your company doing?"

Qin Mengyuan started to engage in the art business in his early years. After graduating from university this year, he set up his own business and registered a company. He didn't cooperate with his brothers in the circle. Several backbones in the company were artists he recruited and worked hard for since he was a child.

Because of the connections of the official family and the Bai family, and the small scale, the elders in the same industry did not take it seriously, but praised this outstanding junior.

"It's okay, everything is difficult at the beginning," Qin Mengyuan joked, "In the future, if you inherit Hongyun, you have to support me more."

"Where?" Guan Hongze said politely, on the surface calm, but in his heart he still regarded this person as his opponent, and felt that everything the other person did today was a threat to him in the future.

"Ke Jing has returned to China too?" Guan Hongze told Qin Mengyuan about meeting Ke Jing in Xili.

"Well, he lives with his brother-in-law now, do you know who his brother-in-law is?"

Qin Mengyuan: "Who?"

Guan Hongze: "The chairman of Maple Leaf Group, Qiu Song."

Qin Mengyuan: "I know that person. He became famous in the industry in his early thirties. It turns out that Ke Jing was surrounded by such a brother-in-law. I thought he was... do you have his phone number?"

Guan Hongze reported his number. He knew that Qin Mengyuan wanted to poach Ke Jing, and he didn't hide it. He thought that Ke Jing, an arrogant guy, would probably not be willing even if he personally invited him to Hongyun. To Qin Mengyuan.

"I want to ask you something," Guan Hongze thought for a moment, then asked Qin Mengyuan, "Do you know that there is a painter named Xia Xiaochuan in China?"

Qin Mengyuan's eyes lit up: "Xia Xiaochuan? A member of the Xia family?"

Guan Hongze was startled: "You know? I only heard about it recently."

Qin Mengyuan said excitedly, "To be honest, I have been looking for their descendants since I heard about the history of the Xia family a few years ago."

Guan Hongze: "The descendants of the Xia family?" He had inquired about Xia Xiaochuan, but he never thought of going to find the relatives of the Xia family.

Qin Mengyuan: "Actually, about the incident more than [-] years ago, the only news in the world is that Mr. Xia died of illness, and Xia Ziqin committed suicide with his wife, but Xia Ziqin also had a younger sister named Xia Zidan, and this person did not die."

Guan Hongze: "Not dead? Where is she?"

Qin Mengyuan: "Because she became a monk, she was married before she became a monk and had a son, but Xia's family announced that Xia Zidan also died of illness, and her husband took the child to his mother's house in the south."

Guan Hongze: "That doesn't mean anything. Even if those younger generations are still alive, they are not from the Xia family. What's more, their families were ruined in the early years, and they don't know anything about their ancestors."

"That's not the point I want to say," Qin Mengyuan whispered, "I heard that after the turmoil, Xia Zidan returned to the vulgar again."

Guan Hongze: "..."

Qin Mengyuan: "She pretended to be a monk, but she took the works from the Xia family's painting pavilion to the temple and hid them, and then shipped them out a few years later. We all thought that the Xia family's ancestors had lost their hard work, and it was a pity. In fact, those works Everything still exists in the world.”

Guan Hongze was puzzled: "Is it true? How do you know?"

Qin Mengyuan: "I went to Tibet with some friends when I was a sophomore. When I passed by Dunhuang, I met a wandering painter in his fifties. He said that he met Xia Zidan ten years ago, but he was already in the 80s ten years ago. , According to the elders, the Xia family is gone long ago, and that person saw that I was young, and said that it is rare for anyone to care about these things, so he told me."

Guan Hongze frowned: "Is it credible?"

Qin Mengyuan smiled: "That man is good at painting, he is not an ordinary person, since he said he has seen it before, what's the use of lying to me?"

Guan Hongze asked again: "Where did Xia Zidan take those paintings?"

Qin Mengyuan: "I don't know about that. I want to find it too. If I can find it, it will really shock the world. The wandering painter said that the Xia family's artistic talent and accomplishments are unmatched by ordinary people who can't match their efforts in a lifetime." If it wasn't too low-key, it would have been famous in the world long ago. I heard that in the Qing Dynasty, many national players went to Gusu City to ask for advice from the Xia family. Desert dyeing, sea tide brushwork..."

The topic got farther and farther away. Guan Hongze felt that the matter behind it was not simple. After talking with him for a while, Qin Mengyuan also found that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, you mentioned to me earlier Is there someone playing hard to get you? Hehe, what's going on, tell me!"

The person Qin Mengyuan was talking about was Ye Yufan. Before, Ye Yufan was indifferent to Guan Hongze, which made Guan Hongze confused and curious. He didn't expect Qin Mengyuan to remember this!

Hey, why did he play hard to get, Guan Hongze smiled wryly, he was simply being sentimental, and because he cared too much, he made himself feel uneasy.

Qin Mengyuan is also a gossip, seeing Guan Hongze's expression, he teased him and said, "Why, are you really hooked? Last time you said that that guy was a man?"

Guan Hongze glanced at him: "You have a good memory."

Qin Mengyuan laughed and urged Guan Hongze to continue.

Guan Hongze said helplessly: "It's okay. I really want to make friends with that guy, but I can't figure out what he thinks. I always feel that he wants something from me, but I have never seen him take the initiative. ..."

Qin Mengyuan made fun of him when he heard the words, and said: "It must be a very special person who can make you care so much."

Guan Hongze nodded, just mentioning the fact that SAFale might be Ye Yufan would make Qin Mengyuan's jaw drop, but he didn't want to mention it.It's strange to say that if it were someone else, it would probably be too late for him to be able to get in touch with the future heir of the official family, but Ye Yufan couldn't avoid it, but he didn't show his disdain like Ke Jing...

"He seems to be quite afraid of me." Guan Hongze added, and then told Qin Mengyuan the first time Ye Yufan met him on the plane, and his reaction when he saw him again in the restaurant.

Qin Mengyuan found it funny, looked Guan Hongze up and down, and joked, "Is it because you look so fierce?"

Guan Hongze raised his eyebrows: "I'm fierce?"

Qin Mengyuan: "Ha, don't you know that your aura is as serious as a middle-aged man!?"

Guan Hongze: "..."

The young masters hadn't gotten together for a long time, and they hadn't enjoyed themselves until midnight. After leaving the high-end KTV box, they moved to a private pub to continue the second half.Afterwards, many people came. Guan Hongzerao didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but he also knew a few familiar faces, which were common in domestic movie advertisements.

Among my friends, there is an entertainment company at home, so there are naturally countless artists under it, and they are all young and beautiful.Those who can appear here also have some means, they know how to play, and they can also read people's faces, not to mention that among these young masters, if you hook up with any one, you will be rich or expensive, there are advantages and no disadvantages.

Guan Hongze's good looks, good manners, young and mature young man is the most popular. I don't know how many people have glanced at him since just now, but unfortunately he has been chatting with Qin Mengyuan.

Fortunately, Qin Mengyuan had something to do the next day and left early.

Just as Guan Hongze took a breath, a person came up beside him, and their legs rubbed against each other.Guan Hongze looked sideways, only to realize that it was the boy who was hugged and kissed by his friend just now. He looked very clean, especially his pair of eyes, which were so beautiful...

The boy chatted with Guan Hongze a few words, and it didn't seem like he was trying to strike up a conversation. Anyway, it made people feel very comfortable. He lowered his head shyly, revealing his thin white neck, and blushed meekly when he was kissed just now.

Guan Hongze admitted that compared with those coquettish and charming women, he paid more attention to this boy, and when he was chatting with Qin Mengyuan just now, he also looked at him twice, but this does not mean that Guan Hongze has ulterior motives , he just thought of Ye Yufan.

"How old are you?" the boy asked him, tilting his head.

"Nineteen." Guan Hongze politely kept a distance from him, chatting politely with him.

The boy stared at him in shock: "It's so small."

"You think I look old?" Guan Hongze still remembered Qin Mengyuan's teasing that he looked like a middle-aged man just now.

The boy shook his head: "How old do you think I am?"

Guan Hongze frowned: "Eighteen? Seventeen? Are you an adult?"

Boy: "I'm 21."

Guan Hongze: "..."

The boy laughed happily, with a pure smile, like a high school student: "My name is Lin Che, I heard they call you Hongze? Hehe, don't frown, you are not old, you are just special."

Guan Hongze raised his eyebrows, not feeling that the other party was a compliment at all.

Lin Che: "I'm serious, you are special, you are different from everyone here."

Guan Hongze: "What's the difference?"

"You're very...quiet," Lin Che asked again, grasping the appropriate adjective, "Ordinary young people, such as them, have a very impetuous temperament."

Guan Hongze: "You're not very old, how did you distinguish between these?"

Lin Che was always smiling: "I major in journalism, and we have a class that specializes in training people."

Guan Hongze: "Reporters...training to read people?"

Lin Che: "Well, an interview is not a simple question and answer. Sometimes without speaking, you have to analyze something from a person. Also, some details shown by the interviewee will tell the reporter that he has Not being honest with you... anyway, it's a technology."

Guan Hongze nodded: "It's very profound."

Lin Che: "What did you study?"

Guan Hongze: "Art...appreciation."

"No wonder people who study art are more patient," Lin Che said, putting her palms on Shangguan Hongze's knees, and there was an obvious trace of provocation in her eyes, "You like boys, right?"

Guan Hongze didn't see any waves on his face, but his heart was like a storm. He was shocked by Lin Che's assertion, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Lin Che continued: "I like your kind, do you want to try it with me?"

Guan Hongze only panicked for a few seconds before regaining his composure. He removed Lin Che's hand from his lap, looked at him and said, "Sorry, I..."

Lin Che interrupted him: "Don't tell me that you have someone you like, it's just an excuse, you are still young and have enough capital to enjoy this colorful world," Lin Che leaned into Guan Hongze's ear and lowered his voice Thread whispered, "If you agree, I will let you experience a wonderful sex."

Such an environment and such a way of flirting are irresistible to any 19-year-old youth. If Guan Hongze refuses again, Lin Che will probably suspect that he is frigid.

Fortunately, the other party did not disappoint him.

Under the chaotic lights, Guan Hongze's eyes were dark, he clasped the other's wrist with his backhand, dawdled for a while, and said, "Go out and talk."

Lin Che's daring to seduce him so boldly shows that he has no fixed relationship with that friend, but just took this opportunity to get to know more people here.

Lin Che smiled and followed him out obediently.

In the early hours of the morning, it was a bit chilly outside.

"To my place?" Lin Che asked with her lips curled up.

Guan Hongze didn't answer, and led him to a deserted alley. Lin Che thought he was going to hire a taxi, but he didn't expect the other party to throw herself against the wall, and then stuck to him.

"...You want to be here?" Lin Che gasped, she didn't expect Guan Hongze to be so open.

Guan Hongze still didn't speak, his eyes were tightly locked on his face.

Lin Che was half a head shorter than him, and being stared at so condescendingly, he felt numb all over. The young man in front of him who was two years younger than himself was imposing, and his arms were full of strength. He was pressed against the wall by him and moved. no.

Guan Hongze raised his arm, controlled it with one hand and pressed it on the top of his head, and gently stroked the other's lips with the fingers of the other hand, Lin Che's heart skipped a beat instantly...

"I'll try..." Guan Hongze said softly, then leaned over and kissed him.

It was obviously an extremely jerky kiss, but Lin Che's heart was in a mess. After an unknown amount of time, he realized that the strength in his hand had loosened. He actively embraced the other person's shoulders, deepening the kiss.

The evening wind blew over the ears and temples, taking away the sweat and leaving behind a coolness. Lin Che was panting, and looked at the young man nose to nose.

"Well," Guan Hongze seemed to be confirmed, "I do... like men." After saying this, he backed away.

Lin Che: "..."

Guan Hongze: "Where do you live? I'll take you back."

Lin Che: "You don't want to do it?"

Guan Hongze: "I don't think so for now."

"You have a reaction..." Lin Che opened her eyes wide, "Don't tell me you want to go home and masturbate yourself?"

"..." Guan Hongze hails a taxi casually and pulls him up.

After getting in the car, Lin Che reported the address. After that, the two of them were silent in embarrassment. When they were about to arrive, Lin Che asked reluctantly, "Do you not want to do it, or do you not want to do it with me?"

Guan Hongze glanced at him, and the answer was self-evident.

Lin Che smiled wryly: "You really... I've never seen someone like you before,... I've never seen anyone like you, they are all men, you are too..."

Guan Hongze looked out the window: "Here we are."
