Eros kisses Psyche

After Jing Jianian finished asking, he stared at his face closely, but the other party's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression didn't seem to change significantly, and he replied calmly: "The family is poor."

"How poor?" Jing Jianian couldn't understand this concept. "Many schools can reduce tuition and miscellaneous fees, and you can also apply for grants and scholarships."

Xu Budie smiled like coaxing a child: "You don't understand. Besides, scholarships also need grades."

"Aren't your grades bad?"

"It doesn't matter if it's good or not. It's over."

"Aren't you good at making money? You can read after you earn it." Jing Jianian became stubborn, "For what we are doing today, I asked my uncle to contact a factory and sign a contract to produce, underwrite, and open molds. If it is directly made of metal, it will not break. If you have the ability, isn’t it easy to earn money?”

Xu Budie was noncommittal, and didn't want to puncture the light and simple fantasy world of the young master, so he just pushed back gently: "You did this, and I helped."

"We did it together, the idea you mentioned." Jing Jianian waved his hand, "There is also Jiang Nian's original work, we will divide it in threes and threes, you can make a small profit even if you don't read it."

"Then you have to ask Senior Sister Jiang. I think it's better to say goodbye. They say it's a limited gift, and it's only valuable if it's limited. It's boring if it's a bad street."

"Yes. But aren't you short of money?"

"There are too many shortages, and it's not bad. Besides, we can do other things in the future."

"Your tone is similar to that of a rich man."

"That's right, too much and too little are the same, so it's called too much." Xu Budie laughed at himself, "Don't worry about it, study hard, otherwise I don't think Lao Cheng will let it go." You graduated easily."

Even though the boy in front of him should be about the same age as himself, Jing Jianian also felt like being fooled by an adult—how could he win over such a person?He seems to be a complete adult—he doesn't need others to worry about him, and he refuses others' curious prying eyes. No matter what difficulties and injustices he faces, he can face them alone.

Does Cheng Zhu like this kind of person?

But he wasn't sure whether that fiery look was considered liking... As far as liking was concerned, it had too much unnecessary margin than the liking that Jing Jianian routinely recognized.

"I'll make a few more different ones," Jing Jianian muttered out of boredom, took out the PAD from his bag, and started drawing on the subway. "There are still a few ideas. Now that I think about it, I don't have to be limited to the idea of ​​zombies. The style is similar, and I like it. I think it will sell well."

"...Zombie...?"

"Isn't it because you call each senior sister so nasty, her surname is Jiang, so she's not a zombie."

Xu Budie was completely convinced: "...It's not easy for you to live to such an age."

Cheng Zhu was urged by Jiang Nian to come to help.When he arrived after the meeting, the small exhibition hall designed by Jiang Nian actually needed to limit the number of people entering the hall. She and another girl who helped sell tickets were simply too busy; The flow of people formed a gathering effect again, and many passers-by who did not get souvenirs also came here admiringly.I don't know how it alarmed the reporter, maybe it was because an internet celebrity took a video and posted it on Douyin, but there were even a few media and self-media who brought their machines and went around filming.

As soon as Cheng Zhu stood still, he saw Xiao Xu running over, sweating profusely, with an overly healthy blush on his face, beads of sweat hanging from the tip of his nose. Hand it over to Cheng Zhu. "Please, help to issue number plates and line up according to the numbers so that the number of people entering the museum can be counted."

He ran away in a hurry again, rented a one-meter fence from the management committee of the art district, pulled up the queue area, said good things to the security guard, and stuffed a pack of cigarettes with him. He became acquainted.It is as if this work has been done dozens of times, and it is not as cramped as a young man who is new to this field.Everyone liked this enthusiastic young man.

Cheng Zhu's eyes entangled him from a distance, until the people in the queue shouted in dissatisfaction, and then hurriedly handed out a number plate, "Everyone is in line...don't jump in line...yes, it won't be long, inside You can go in as soon as you come out..." I felt that I was actually arranged by a guy who was a round younger than me, and now I have to work for students...

However, Jiang Nian's exhibition had so many people come to see him, he was also honored.Although it may not be said that the quality of the audience has improved, but for the first time to hold a solo exhibition, it is quite successful if it can sell general tickets instead of relying solely on the support of relatives and friends.

Furthermore, even with Jiang Nian's help and guidance, Jing Jianian's small gadgets have taken shape. With a little polishing, the gold is about to shine.This also made Cheng Zhu quite proud.

But Xu Budie had already finished his work, and turned to help sell tickets and distribute gifts. He greeted people with a smile everywhere. Wherever he was, his work efficiency was greatly improved.After all the busy work was done, he came over to take over the work in Cheng Zhu's hands: "Mr. Cheng, go to the exhibition hall and help the senior sister. I will take care of everything here."

Cheng Zhu saw that his forehead was drenched with sweat, and he didn't know why there was a short circuit in his head, so he subconsciously reached out and wiped him, "Look what you did..." The skin felt cold to the touch, but his own Suddenly realizing that this gesture was too intimate and abrupt, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded.

Xiao Xu didn't notice anything wrong, but Cheng Zhu hurriedly looked around guiltily, and changed the conversation: "By the way, what about the kid?"

Knowing that he was talking about Jing Jianian, Xu Budie sneered, "He made another batch of finished products, and now he's distributing them at the street corner over there."

"Just him?" Cheng Zhu clicked his tongue, a little in disbelief: Has this young master changed his sex or something?

"Well, I posted it before, but now he says it's no big deal, he wants to do it himself." Xu Budie explained, "It's okay, the urban management is off work at this point, nothing will happen."

Cheng Zhu understood it, and he was still fighting with Xiao Xu. He couldn't help but find it funny. It felt like watching puppies fight, and he didn't even know that he was the culprit: "For he has made progress."

"Give me Lele too," Xu Budie took Lele, who was being led by Cheng Zhu, to the table in front of the window, and pointed to the pile of loose ornaments, "Lele help me one by one." Put it in an envelope, okay?" As if by magic, he took out a large pile of beautiful envelopes and pink gold cardboard that he had just bought directly.

Of course, Jiang Nian didn't prepare for envelopes and other packaging before, and it's too late to print them now. Fortunately, they are very good at handicrafts. Xu Budie has already taken out ink pads and a newly designed solo exhibition card. The commemorative stamp came out - it was a matter of minutes for Jiang Nian and Jing Jianian to engrave a simple design stamp, cover it with mud and put it on the envelope port, and it would appear that this "special souvenir" is formal, exquisite, and unique.The people in the queue had some complaints at first, but after everyone took a look at the envelopes, they were all attracted by the exquisite design skills, and no complaints were left, and they all felt that the trip was worthwhile.Lele got an errand, and felt that she would be useful, so she nodded her head and quickly helped her.

It's true that every trace of labor is not spared, Cheng Zhu laughed, feeling that he and his son had been arranged clearly by him.Xiao Xu is like an accelerator, a perpetual motion machine. It seems that as long as he is by his side, there will be no difficulties or exhaustion in life, just like a playground at lightning speed; it is hard to imagine the other side he peeled off yesterday, just like smashing a carved statue , I can see the crooked and randomly bent skeleton and the rough unpolished and painted section inside.

It shouldn't be a big deal, who hasn't got something they don't want people to see?This kid is so adaptable, and he can adjust himself. This is how people grow up little by little, and it doesn't necessarily mean that more setbacks when they are young are bad things.

Cheng Zhu thought about it as someone who had been there, and decided to put the painting away for the time being, so as not to let him see it.

He turned around and went back to the exhibition hall to help Jiang Nian, and she was already around. Some people needed an introduction, some wanted to interview and negotiate, and some held the envelope and the poster leaflet, waiting for her to sign.On the face of the little woman, there was a trance of waking up and discovering that she had time-traveled and become an idol star.Cheng Zhu wanted to laugh but held back, and went up to help.An old man caught Jiang Nian and boasted fiercely, which made the female man feel shy, but after a long circle, he finally explained why he came: I didn't catch up with your limited edition gift just now, I think others have it , you can't discriminate against older people can you... Can I have a pair?My wife and I are so...silver wedding this year!

Jiang Nian said to Cheng Zhu expressionlessly: "I think the exhibits in my room over the past few years are not as flattering as the little ornaments made by your little brat who stayed up all night. Is it me or he? Are you going to start?" After two years of training, the apprentice will starve the master to death."

Cheng Zhu laughed at her: "Didn't I teach you as an apprentice? Didn't I starve to death?"

"Am I taught by you? Don't be ashamed! I'm all self-taught with extraordinary talent!" Jiang Nian rolled his eyes.She and Cheng Zhu have different styles, and they have been arguing with each other all day long, but some gossip has evolved instead.Back then, when discussing thesis and graduation works, I went to his studio and home a few times. Cheng Zhu was just married at the time, and the family member was not happy. It's ridiculous: You actually think that I have a crush on this guy, I'm already respecting my teacher if I don't strangle him to death with a rope...

After being "beaten" a few times for no reason, Jiang Nian didn't do anything else. He simply stopped contacting Cheng Zhu and walked all the way to the dark place. Instead, he was clean. At most, he only sent him an email to report the progress.

Now that I think about it, I was able to get along and graduate smoothly, and I got an excellent graduation project and an excellent graduate certificate. It can be seen that Cheng Zhu quarreled with her, and he really had no selfishness in evaluating and recommending her.

Cheng Zhu and Rong Wanqin had conflicts just because of this judging.Rong Wanqin felt that a female student who quarreled with you every day and attracted your attention was scared by me once and she didn't dare to come to the door. If you insisted on giving her a good review without even telling her, wouldn't that be a shame? Do people misunderstand the meaning of looking at someone differently and caring for them?If this comes and goes again and again, visits to thank, master and apprentice love deeply, wouldn't this hatred last forever, we must strictly guard against it, and kill all signs in the cradle!

Cheng Zhu couldn't understand what she was thinking, because in his opinion, Jiang Nian was not as attractive as a pot of yellow mud in terms of sex; but he was quarreled with a lawsuit, and since then, in order to avoid this unnecessary quarrel They didn't dare to admit female graduate students easily; they didn't even have a New Year's greeting between them, and they just passed the past few years indifferently, and Jiang Nian never called himself Cheng Zhu's school.

She glanced at Cheng Zhu, who was free and liberated as a serf, and couldn't help smiling, thinking, what's the matter.

Jing Jianian hummed a song closely to the night wind, and walked back half-running and half-hopping.The gift distribution was finished soon, and his handsome idol-star outfit for Cheng Zhu finally came in handy. Who doesn't like a handsome young man?Except for the first few times when someone was treated as a hair salon and had to apply for a VIP card, basically as long as you get used to it and have a thicker skin, you can still open up the market.After going back and forth, a girl selling handmade pendants at a stall took one of his ornaments and asked him shyly if he wanted to come with her. She had obviously been setting up a stall in this area for a long time, and knew the urban management's work and rest very well. After 05:30, I rushed out to seize the position, set up a shelf booth, and brought an emergency light for lighting.Jing Jianian put together several other samples that he tried today and put them on sale at her booth, not to make money, but more to see the audience's preference and reaction, and the effect exceeded his expectations, which gave him a lot of confidence ——I thought that the peddler behavior of these lower Riba people did not match his status as a noble artist, but now it has become natural.

He pinched the one remaining sample in his pocket.

This was the first thing I did after I went back that day and said that I wanted to develop some new samples. At that time, it was too fast and the air bubbles were not removed, so it was a bit rough.Originally, he was thinking of showing Cheng Zhu a show of strength, but somehow his hand tilted and his thoughts wandered to Xu Budie.Originally wanted to engrave a horse——Cheng Zhu liked the image of horses very much. Although he no longer created related themes in recent years, the horse has become a symbol of his famous works. Like the symbol, Junyi is free and easy, with a relaxed style.

But Jing Jianian ran away to Xu Budie halfway, and Xu Budie had the vigor of a deer, so the horse was carved like a deer and a horse.He did it in one go based on his feeling, and when he came back to look, the free and easy handsomeness was gone, but his belly was poopy, his limbs were short, but he looked like a girl running desperately, revealing a bit of youthful cuteness.According to the reserved thickness, he cut it into diamond-like cut edges and corners.

A multi-faceted, invisible guy.He thought while engraving, it would be best to see it as a deer from this angle, but also a horse from this angle, mixed together it is a red deer and Baga.In the center, I will also carve out a human face for you, and you can only see it in reverse.Of course, such a complicated design cannot be done on such a large experimental product, so he just wanted to vent his anger.The engraving was done finely, and with a lot of effort, a piece of the finished product broke apart with a shake of the hand, and it was regarded as useless.

... so crispy.It looked quite thick, but a piece of it collapsed, and it was immediately covered with cracks from the middle to the surroundings, unexpectedly bursting out a kind of beauty of cracked glaze.Of course, it may also be that less water was added during grouting before.Somehow, this kind of crack constituted a strange dislocation, as if these cracks existed originally, but were buried under those facets, and the cracked corner was completely exposed.Thinking about it this way, it seems to be more similar to that person.

After a little coloring, I will give this defective product to him.Jing Jianian thought so with a slightly vengeful mentality.

When I arrived at the exhibition hall, today’s visit was of course over, but the lights were still on inside, the ticket sales area at the entrance was closed, and the extra one-meter fence stood silently, and some of the fence belts sagged without tension.Even after wandering all the way, he could sense some strange and strange atmosphere, so he hastily quickened his pace and walked into the exhibition hall.

Everything seemed to suddenly freeze and stand still, even the music stopped, and a flowing silence played in the air.The porch lamps and spotlights seem to have been mostly closed due to the closing of the museum, leaving only one in the central exhibition hall, which illuminates an elliptical arc from top to bottom, like a birdcage of light in the dark.There was the booth of the main exhibit, surrounded by several staff members including Jiang Nian, who couldn't even hear the sound of breathing for a while.

……what happened?

He squeezed up.Looking over Jiang Nian's short shoulders, he saw Jiang Nian's most proud piece, the main exhibit "Rong" that Cheng Zhu had only painted with Xu Budie two days ago - a picture of a melting woman with half-opened belly At this time, the body was torn apart and collapsed on the booth. There was some momentum of struggling upwards on the back and elbows, but now it has completely lay flat like abandoning treatment.
