Eros kisses Psyche

Xu Budie slept soundly this time, and Cheng Zhu went crazy.

The two of them hadn't had much contact half a month before the incident, and they were busy with their own business. From Xu Budie's point of view, it was mainly because Cheng Zhu was annoying, and when he came back, he got tired of seeing him. The good times were over, and this problem of being a good teacher kicked in. He is the only student in front of him, and he wants to get involved in everything, and he feels that he is not pleasing to the eye, and he feels that he is unfamiliar here, rough there, and the theory is too good; or his boyfriend is sick, everyone Masculinity upper body, I am afraid that he will be tired today, I will be afraid that he will be cold tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will think that he wears too much and sweats, and it will be terrible if he bumps. I wish I could get more and more blisters, and tell you to drink more hot water every day.

In the end, the two had a moderate quarrel. The reason was because Tong Ranran gave a notebook last time, which recorded some people who had the same experience that she contacted back then. Xu Budie wanted to take these people along Looking again, Cheng Zhu felt that it was dangerous and unnecessary, and people who had never stood up before would not stand up now; why bother to make fun of themselves again?He actually felt sorry for Xiao Xu, who had seen him personally, and wanted to cut himself out again and again, and peel off the wounds he suffered for others to see.

But Xu Budie didn't listen to him, he said that I didn't want to persuade them, I just wanted to meet them.

See you and then what?

Then I can move on.They will become another me, become a part of my work and stay here.

You don't have to do it yourself... who knows what they'll say?

This is very important to me!I have to go and get their permission.I also want to see... see the consequences of other people's choices.

That's fine, if you insist on going, I'll go with you.

I am not a child anymore!It's not fragile either!Old Cheng, you are not allowed to come, this is my business!

The two were at a standstill, seeing that Cheng Zhu couldn't convince him, he changed his angle and began to find fault with the composition of the creativity. Whoever was creative was not motivated, and he was talking in a rush, and his face was turned upside down. .

"It can be replaced by a more abstract line language - many people have already tried what you have done!"

"Whiteread also emphasized the importance of the relationship between people. You are not the only expert in this world! Besides, you don't understand devices at all!"

"Yeah, your wings are stiff, you know Whiteread, I'm no longer able to teach you, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Am I not your student?!"

"Don't dare, you are my ancestor, so it's okay to be my ancestor!"

Xu Bu was so angry that he simply blocked him in anger: I haven't seen you for three years, and I can't live without you. Without you, Cheng Zhu, I failed the exam, I couldn't get a scholarship, or I couldn't graduate and I couldn't participate in this program. A level of exhibition?If you say I can't do it, I will do it for you.Can't even Gan and Yu think I'm fine, but you don't trust me anymore?

At the awarding scene of the National Craftsmanship Ceremony, the absence of a student—even the hottest and talented student is not a big deal, and it will pass in a while; but when everyone takes their seats and finds that Cheng Zhu's seat is also empty, it seems a little subtle up.Combined with the gossip that Gan and Yu broke out just now, there are always people with good intentions who start to associate: "It seems that he is really Cheng Zhu's apprentice? He even inherited the style of not taking competitions seriously... By the way, do you know that before Mr. Cheng dares to meet foreign guests with leaders of provinces and cities in any big or small competitions, which is a headache."

"This is terrible. This time the master and apprentice will take over both the old and the new. It seems that Cheng Pai is going to be on the stage of history?"

Chairman Tao of the Society of Arts and Crafts didn't buy it, and immediately said: "That's not right, although Lao Cheng is a sculptor, his style is completely different from this, and his field of expertise is also different. He is not good at drama and installation— —”

"That can't be said that way. You can see that his apprentice Jiang Nian is good at drama..."

"Although Jiang Nian is dramatic, her style is not so bold, it's still very delicate..."

"Hey, but if you put it that way, it can be seen that there are quite a few young people who are not afraid of anything..."

"But he still showed restraint, which is rare!"

"However, it's fine for a child to play with his temper and don't know the rules. He, Cheng Zhu, was awarded this time as a national craftsman. Isn't this kind of treatment not good for him? If he was specially notified, he wouldn't come here. Wouldn't the leader be very upset? Awkward……"

"Tsk tsk, there's a big crowd now, have you seen his previous international award work..."

The reporter of "Sculpture" magazine listened to the whispered discussions around one after another, yawned and took a record photo of the scene, a row of leaders took a group photo, and another row of leaders took a group photo.A leader made a speech: "Find out...seize...it will be..." Another leader made a speech: "Look into...open...compose..." The most eye-catching topical figure is not there, and the sculpture photo is all It’s fine if it’s not worthy of an interview. The most important thing is that this year’s selection of the "youngest national craftsman" is not there. This draft has simply become a press release.

Compared with Xu Budie, the dark horse who "killed Cheng Yaojin halfway through", the reporter's early interviewees are naturally determined to be the winner of this year's "National Craftsman" title, and will also be the youngest "National Craftsman" in my country The sculpture artist Cheng Zhu.He just won an international award. He is a rare sculptor with world influence in my country. He also has a very legendary life experience. He left his job to expand the overseas market because of domestic academic turmoil; the idol drama-like romantic experience with his ex-wife and the school love that ended tragically after marriage, as well as the protagonist of his recent award-winning work "Die", rumored It is the root cause of his divorce from his wife, or the new lover he hides... Either way, it is full of the artist-style romantic colors that people like to hear and see, and it is worthy of a long special report.

But Cheng Zhu has always been in a hurry, and usually doesn't accept interviews with domestic media. This time, he even showed the posture of not coming to skip classes.Seeing that the awards ceremony has come to an end:

"Next, I invite the award presenters of the National Craftsman Award to come on stage and present us with the honorary title of National Craftsman of the year..."

Suddenly the door behind him opened with a bang, and a swirling gust of wind blew in, which suddenly cleared the dizzy minds of the attendees—Cheng Zhu walked in from the corridor in the middle with big strides, matched with The bright and loud awards music sounded, as if everything was tailor-made for him, and the eyes of the people around were betting on him, as if sweeping a red carpet for him with their eyes.

Cheng Zhu glanced around, as if he was looking for something, the host jokingly said, "Mr. Cheng, are you looking for your trophy?" After sloppyly accepting the trophy from the guest and the microphone from the host, he took advantage of the terrain to look down at the crowded audience, but he still couldn't find the person he wanted to see; tone.

Cheng Zhu really didn't plan to come; today's platform is very good, he originally wanted to leave him more to Xu Budie, like a debut stage.He thought about it for a long time. If he appeared here, it is very likely that the attention will eventually be drawn to the relationship between the two of them. After all, if anyone has the heart, I am afraid that he will notice his award-winning work called "Die" , the relationship with Xu Budie is clearly revealed.Cheng Zhu didn't want this idle gossip to divert the attention that originally belonged to Xu Budie and his work itself at such a moment.

This is what he deserves - this kid actually did it.

But what about others?Are you still mad at me?

I couldn't get through the phone, and the organizer couldn't find him, so I finally called Cheng Zhu to ask. Cheng Zhu was happily waiting to give him a surprise. No, so I had to come here—Cheng Zhu ran all the way here, and at this time he still felt chilly on his back, and his shirt was crinkled in his back—he didn’t know that in the short time he had just He turned his mind several times, afraid that he would express his intentions towards Gan and Yu too clearly, that he would be put on little shoes, and be calculated by others; Accompany him, shelter him from the wind and rain?

However, just before coming to the main hall, when I passed by the exhibition hall and saw the work placed in the middle, I only heard a thud in my heart. All the doubts, apprehensions, and suspicions disappeared—he had already caught up, and before I knew it, he had grown into a man strong enough and tough enough to be able to do so without my escorting him with all my heart and soul. Sailing out to sea; but if I slack off a bit, it is true that he will probably catch up with him and throw him off.

Everyone in the audience looked at him with anticipation, curiosity and even more amusement, wanting to see if this once thorny head has grown into the youngest national craftsman today, and whether he will make another shocking award-winning speech.

"I... I'm looking for someone. Today's stage should be his moment to shine." Cheng Zhu said suddenly, "He doesn't seem to be here. The host just told me that he couldn't be contacted. I'm so anxious, I also searched in school and places I frequent, but I don't know where I went." His eyes swept over Gan Heyu and Qin Hong who were sitting below, half jokingly He said in a cold voice, "Old Gan, no one will tell you to hide it for me again, right?"

Gan Heyu's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled slightly, and his tone subconsciously became harsh: "What are you talking about? Isn't that your student? You ask me?" Those who understood cast all kinds of eyes.

"Yeah, even though I have been my student for two days, I haven't taught him anything. It's rare for me to say a few words to give an opinion, and I'm on top of me. I think I don't understand the device." Cheng Zhu said casually. , "I saw it just now, I can't accept it, I really don't understand the installation. But the masters are the same as me, obviously he is there, but no one saw it. Such an ingenious installation sculpture design concept is in vain .”

A reporter at the bottom noticed the clues in the words, and his interest was suddenly aroused: "Mr. Cheng—you mean, we didn't understand the work of "Fake" just now?"

Cheng Zhu laughed and waved to the lighting engineer in the distance: "Can you turn off the headlights in the exhibition hall?"

The bright white ceiling light in the exhibition hall went out with a snap, leaving only the yellow fill light of the floor lamps around, reflecting the silhouettes of all the works.

Chairman Tao of the Arts and Crafts Society took the lead, and a group of professionals got up and left the table one after another, heading to the center of the exhibition hall again.Everyone seemed very interested: Is there any surprise hidden in this work that they haven't discovered?

Cheng Zhu dimmed the color of the ground lamp, and then dimmed again, there was a hint of red in the yellow color temperature, which looked like the nostalgic color of the sky when the sunset was slowly setting.Gan Heyu walked in front with his hands behind his back with a cold face, and looked tentatively into the deformed face on the flowing chrome inside the sculpture: "Is there any mystery here? It doesn't look like there is a big difference."

Cheng Zhu's heart moved slightly, he put down the trophy in his hand, put his palm on the outside of the lampshade like a shell, and then slowly opened it.

"what!!"

People suddenly exclaimed.On the originally uneven chrome-plated surface of the internal test, different layers show the depth effect of human faces under the effect of light.They were originally too smooth and the boundaries of the contours were diluted under the strong light and the reflective mirror, but in the shadow of the oblique light today, clear edges are gradually outlined.Those faces have different facial features and expressions, and the prominent facial sculpture style inherited from Cheng Zhu is clearly blended in. It seems that after being swallowed into the interior by fakes, it is still struggling to highlight the true self, silently. cried out:

Did you see that?Did you see that?No matter how many "you" labels are reflected on the fake, you still can't occupy me, you can't swallow me.I am here, I am here!

Gan Heyu stared, and he stepped into the center of the interior step by step in disbelief, feeling the twisted reflections coming towards his face; the faces in the haze were vividly outlined by the streamlined lines. Every face looked so familiar.

No, no, don't come here, I've already... all gone!Am I not nice to you?Didn't I make compensation?It's just a deal you like!Haven't we always maintained a tacit decency?What more do you want?I can give you all!Don't tear it, don't get out!Get out!Get out!

He suddenly felt the world spinning, staggered and wanted to escape, just in time to bump into other people who came in to visit in embarrassment.

Surprised voices came from the crowd one after another:

"Old Gan? Old Gan? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Why is your face so pale all of a sudden? You're sweating a lot..."

"Is it because of the mirror reflection and the slope causing dizziness? This should be deliberately designed to cause this sense of oppression..."

"Do you want some water? Teacher Qin, why don't you take Mr. Gan to rest for a while? Why do you have such an ugly face?"

"I'm fine... just a little uncomfortable... this kind of work of your young people, we are old, and we are not able to..."

"Is Chairman Gan not very optimistic about this design, or is it too avant-garde? Unconventional and flashy?"

"No..." Gan Heyu's face was extremely ugly, and he had to explain, "It is indeed very thoughtful... My physical discomfort should be more... well, it's just that I haven't had a good rest these days because of being busy, yes , I didn’t have a good rest! If you continue, I will, I will go back first..."

Some people ran away, some lingered, some were amazed, some whispered, some took photos and uploaded them to Moments, and some even started to write and write articles to make headlines... However, seeing their hurried figures, Cheng Zhu suddenly felt that , All their reactions are like the established program, whether to watch or not, and what will happen next, have already been predicted, so it is no longer important.

Just let you stop here, we're moving on.

Cheng Zhu let go of the hand holding the floor lamp, did not pick up the trophy that was in the way, and squeezed out of the crowd in the opposite direction.It seemed that the warmth of the light still remained in his palm, he clenched it, like an entity holding that ray of light, and left the venue without looking back.

As soon as I walked out of the empty front door, I found someone was yawning with his mouth wide open, his eyes were squinted together like a cat’s, and he was riding the same old electric donkey with one leg slanted, bored in the blue sky at the door. Down there, waiting to take him home.

As soon as he saw Cheng Zhu's appearance, Xu Budie shrank his neck: "Why are you hitting someone? You clenched your hands so tightly."

Cheng Zhu stepped into the back seat of the car, put his fist in front of his eyes, and said mysteriously: "I just caught the sunset again."

"Oh? Give me your hand." Xu Budie wasn't surprised at all. He just pressed against his clenched hand, opened his fist, and stuck his fingers in to fill the gap between them.The overlapping palms are hot, the body temperature is connected with the heartbeat, and the place where they hold is scorching hot.Xu Bu turned his head back, and a triumphant smile followed, following the lines of his palms into his eyes.

"Then did you make a wish?"
