Ye Cheng

The art exhibition was held quite smoothly, and many seniors in the industry gave Ye Cheng and Tie Qiang a very high evaluation, expressing their optimism for these two young people.

Through the exhibition, some works were also sold. Ye Cheng's income is not bad, but it is not enough to buy a house in City B, as Chen Zihou said. In fact, Lu Mingyuan didn't really want to buy that painting, he just found an excuse to meet Ye Cheng after hearing that it was Ye Cheng's personal work.

"Old Alley" is really well painted. Through those rich oil paints, it seems that he can smell the fragrance of sunshine and the mild musty smell of the wooden houses in that alley, which is what he misses.However, this painting still contains some things that Lu Mingyuan hates deeply, that is, the child on the painting, and those too bright sunlight, these things allow Lu Mingyuan to clearly see that Ye Cheng, who painted this painting, has passed He is doing well, he is no longer bound by the past, and he has new hopes in his life, things that have nothing to do with him.

Take this painting home, and then spend all day looking at Ye Cheng's current world, how peaceful and serene he is, how well he can live in a world without himself, Lu Mingyuan can't do it.

On the other hand, someone else also fell in love with this painting, and even offered a high price of 70 yuan. For a young painter like Ye Cheng, this price was already quite good, but he still declined.For this, Chen Zihou was very dissatisfied with him, but compared to another classmate named Tie Qiang, Ye Cheng was already very easy to talk to.

Tie Qiang, as his name suggests, is extremely tough. His painting style is very tough, and the themes he chooses are not very suitable for ordinary household decorations, so his customer base is very narrow.But radish and green vegetables have their own preferences, and there are quite a few people who like his works, but he depends entirely on his own preferences. If the other party is pleasing to the eye, he will sell it at a low price. not for sale.

Regarding meeting Lu Mingyuan at the art exhibition, Ye Cheng didn't tell Ye Ping and Lan Mu about it when he returned home. I can hope that the relationship will be the same as before.The eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Zhennan's only heir, this is Lu Mingyuan's current identity. Although he doesn't know what he has experienced abroad, the past is the past.

Lanmu has already completed the visa application. As soon as Ye Cheng gets his graduation certificate, they will go abroad, register for marriage, and spend their honeymoon by the way. Lanmu has found a lot of information and has arranged for them for a full month Itinerary, if you are not willing to come back by then, you may also stay outside for a while.

Because of this matter, Zhong Wanli and Ye Ping had a lot of quarrels. The two were married the year before, but they hadn't had a drink or a honeymoon trip. It was a holiday, and she went home to take care of the children by herself, and sent Zhong Wanli away to discuss business, going back and forth, which made Zhong Wanli very sad.

This time when Ye Cheng and the others were applying for visas, Zhong Wanli also wanted to follow suit. It would be nice for everyone to go abroad together. The order has not yet been paid, and the order is about to be shipped. Now I can't do without people, and I still have a few potential customers in my hand. Once she leaves, the business will have to fly.

On a weekend two days before Ye Cheng's graduation, Lanmu finished dealing with the company's affairs over there and came to Ye Cheng's house in City B. His previous business in City B had long since ended, and his house had already been retired. He was not here at ordinary times. By the way, the company is in City S. When they come back from their honeymoon, they will no longer live in City B. Lanmu in City S has already prepared a residence for the two of them.

Ye Ping didn't have to go to work, and Zhong Wanli didn't have to go out of town. The two of them came to Ye Cheng's house with their baby. This small two-bedroom apartment suddenly became lively.Ye Li was already four years old in a blink of an eye, a small boy with light brown eyes and dark chestnut hair, he didn't look much different from a yellow person, except that his skin was much fairer than that of ordinary children.

In the afternoon, while Ye Ping and the others were busy in the kitchen, Ye Cheng was sorting out his works in the studio alone, and he was going to move soon, so he started packing while he was free, so as to save himself from being in a hurry.The packaging and transportation of oil paintings is very troublesome, it takes up space and it is easy to be damaged by collision. Fortunately, Ye Cheng sold a lot of works in the painting exhibition a few days ago, so the banknotes are naturally easier to carry.

Ye Li just moved a small bench and sat at the door of the studio, watching Ye Cheng pack one piece of work, sometimes Ye Cheng would order him, but then, go get a transparent glue, Ye Li just ran away Go to a cabinet in the living room, open the cabinet door, there are several rolls of transparent glue neatly stacked inside, hand one to Ye Cheng, and then sit back on the stool obediently.

Ye Cheng liked his little nephew very much, and he also drew a few paintings for him, but they were all taken home by Zhong Wanli, a child slave, so he kept one hanging in Ye Cheng's living room, and repeatedly reiterated, Ye Cheng was resolutely not allowed to sell his son.Ye Cheng was quite envious of him, he got a son for nothing, he was well-behaved and sensible, in short, this guy got a big deal, but Ye Ping always felt that he owed him.

When the doorbell rang, Ye Cheng thought it was Lan Mu who had come back. Just now when Zhong Wanli and the others said they wanted to drink, Lan Mu went out to buy it.The one who came was a courier, and the recipient wrote Ye Cheng's name, but the sender wrote a name, which Ye Cheng didn't know.

"Could it be from Lanmu?" After Ye Ping signed for the receipt, she placed the courier on the coffee table in the living room.

"Maybe." Ye Cheng felt a little weird, but he didn't pay attention.

"Is it a visa?" Zhong Wanli's enthusiasm for traveling abroad has not subsided, even though Ye Ping has told him that it is impossible.

"No, the visa has already been issued." It was almost dinner time, and Ye Cheng stopped entering the studio, and sat on the sofa with his little nephew in his arms to watch cartoons.

After a while, Lan Mu also came back with a bag of wine, mostly white wine and red wine, and bought two cans of beer, which Ye Ping wanted.Ye Cheng asked him if he had a courier, and he said he did not, so Ye Cheng opened the courier box on the coffee table, and there were two thin sheets of paper inside, and nothing else.

Ye Cheng picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. It said, certificate holder: Zhu Yunting, registration date: XX year, XX month, XX date, marriage certificate number...

Is it a copy of the marriage certificate?Ye Cheng first glanced at the photo on the right, and then took a closer look, his complexion began to turn bad.Further down, there are the names and information of the two people. The man is Lan Mu. He has his name, photo and ID number. It can't be wrong.

"Brother, it's time to eat, but come here quickly!" Ye Ping had already put the food on the table, Zhong Wanli helped to arrange the dishes, and Lan Mu was opening the red wine with a corkscrew.

"Here we come." Ye Cheng lowered his head and kissed the top of his nephew's head, and stuffed the two pieces of paper under the sofa cushion.

This dinner was enjoyable, and Ye Ping made a lot of delicious food, which is actually a practical idea. Ye Cheng and the others are going to go abroad in a few days, and she has to go to work then, so she may not have time to send them off. , This walk is a month.In addition, as a younger sister, she is also very happy that her brother has finally found the other half of his life and will soon enter the palace of marriage.

She knew something about Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan back then. After Lu Mingyuan left, her brother failed to take the college entrance examination. She was worried that Ye Cheng would not be able to survive.But fortunately, Ye Cheng was much stronger than she imagined. Although he didn't talk much in those years, and he didn't visit his aunt's house very often, he still came out after all.

Now, it can be said that whether Jitai has finally come. Although she also feels very sorry for Lu Mingyuan, Lan Mu is also a very good person. Helping them set up a stall, he also took good care of Ye Cheng during the years he was in the studio, and even this time it was his idea to let Ye Cheng study in G Meicheng's class.

This meal was very enjoyable. Even Ye Cheng, who usually doesn't drink much, drank a few glasses of white wine. Zhong Wanli was a good drinker, and he didn't respond after drinking a lot. Ye Ping drank two cans of beer and poured another for herself. Two glasses of red, and finally drunk.

In the end, Zhong Wanli carried Ye Ping on his back, took his son by hand, and went downstairs to call him. Ye Cheng said he would send them off, but Zhong Wanli waved his hand and said it was okay. .

Ye Cheng and Lan Mu were the only two people left in the room. The dining table was in a mess. Ye Cheng drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk. Dump it into the trash can, wipe the table clean, then take out the broom to clean the living room, and mop it again.

"What's wrong with you today?" Lan Mu finally sensed something was wrong with Ye Cheng.

"The courier I received today is under the sofa cushion." When Ye Cheng said this, he didn't have any special expression. He took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. As soon as the hot water was turned on, Ye Cheng felt a little lack of oxygen, so he turned down the temperature of the water, filled half of the bathtub with water and lay down in it.

"Ye Cheng?" Lan Mu knocked on the door outside, Ye Cheng heard it, but didn't want to make a sound.

"Ye Cheng." Lan Mu opened the door and came in. The key to their bathroom was placed in a drawer in the living room.

"Huh?" Ye Cheng reluctantly raised his head to look at him, the stamina of the wine seemed to be picking up, making him dizzy and uncomfortable.

"Have you finished soaking? It's been soaking for a long time."

"Oh, okay." Has it been soaking for a long time?Ye Cheng climbed out of the bathtub, then took the dry towel next to him and wiped it hastily, put on his pajamas and walked to the bedroom.

After Lan Mu had finished taking a shower, the two of them lay quietly on the bed. In order to arrange work for the next month or so, Lan Mu hadn't been to City B for a while. Tonight was a reunion after a long absence, but because of that Knowing where the courier came from, none of them had any intention of being affectionate.

Originally said that he was going to get married, but now he found out that the man who said he was going to marry him had already obtained a certificate from someone else. This is so inconceivable.When he first saw the courier, Ye Cheng was still a little bit lucky, maybe the copy was fake, but looking at Lan Mu's later attitude, it was obvious that he had already acquiesced.

"Ye Cheng, you only need to wait another two or three years, and I will divorce her soon." Lan Mu held Ye Cheng's hand tightly, rubbing his knuckles.

"You got married five years ago." Ye Cheng looked at the ceiling and thought. He and Lan Mu had only been together for three years. He is too powerful, or he is too stupid and stupid.

"Don't always think about this, okay? Let's go abroad for a walk, and it will pass soon. If you are in a bad mood, can you live abroad?"

"Do you still want to get married?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Of course we have to get married!" Lan Mu sat up from the bed at once: "Don't you want to marry me? The two of us are so suitable together, Ye Cheng, don't you feel that I like you so much?"

"That's a crime, bigamy."

"Whether it's a crime or not, as long as you don't tell me, who will find out so many things here?" Lan Mu became a little impatient. He scratched his hair, and then pulled Ye Cheng's arm: " Do you want to break up?"

Ye Cheng turned his head to one side, and did not deny that he had such thoughts, but he is still in a mess now, and needs to be straightened out. When he wakes up tomorrow and thinks about their affairs, maybe he will have the answer.

"No way! No way, let me tell you! Break up or something! You better not even think about it!" Lan Mu jumped to the floor and walked around the room with his bare feet, his hair was ripped into a mess by himself , no longer the usual elegant temperament.

"Do you have children?" Ye Cheng finally asked the last question in his heart. There is a big difference between having children and not having children. Ever since he brought up Ye Li himself, he understood the weight of a child. They are so beautiful , that is the object that should not be hurt anyway.

"...Son, the same age as Ye Li." Speaking of this, Lan Mu slowly sat down on the floor like a deflated ball.

"Divorced that woman, do you still want children?"

"The son is mine." Lan Mu replied without hesitation.

"During your marriage, you fooled around with men outside, and after the divorce, do you even want children?" Ye Cheng laughed, laughing at this man's greed and cruelty.

"Ye Cheng, can we not talk about this?"

"Lan Mu, thank you for these years!" Except for the deep helplessness, Ye Cheng didn't feel very angry. What this man brought to him in the past three years was all good.

"Hush...you're drunk, don't rush to make a decision, think about it tomorrow, okay?" Lan Mu kissed Ye Cheng's cheek, and Ye Cheng closed his eyes obediently, feeling tired ,Very tired.It seems that I have no strength to escape again, nor do I have the strength to start a so-called new life.

Early the next morning, Lan Mu left, probably because he didn't want to hear Ye Cheng's decision.On the day of graduation, Ye Cheng went to the school to receive his graduation certificate, and took a few photos with his classmates. In the evening, there was a graduation dinner. Ye Cheng asked the address of the dinner, and then left the campus.

Under the big tree at the school gate, there was a small car that he had never seen before, and in front of the small car stood a man Ye Cheng was familiar with but also unfamiliar with.

"Ye Cheng." Lu Mingyuan shook his arm at Ye Cheng, holding a file bag in his hand.

"What is it this time?" Ye Cheng walked up to him, staring at the bag, after a copy of the marriage certificate, what else would Lu Mingyuan give him?

"It's nothing, just the happy life of Lan Mu and his wife and son." Lu Mingyuan said and handed the paper bag to Ye Cheng.

"It's really troublesome for you." Ye Cheng took the paper bag, opened the seal, and took out a stack of colored A4 papers. Inside was blue wood, a woman named Zhu Yunting, and a boy about four or five years old with an expression on his face. Not very rich, always dressed neatly, very gentle when he smiles, very similar to Lanmu.

"It's not too much trouble. That woman likes to write on Weibo, just pull it from the Internet." Lu Mingyuan said with ease.

"..." Ye Cheng was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

"Don't you ask me why I have so many things, why did I dig them out for you?" Obviously, Lu Mingyuan didn't intend to let him go so easily.

That's right, why did they dig out all these things? If it wasn't for Lu Mingyuan, Ye Cheng might have been kept in the dark.Even if he finds out one day in the future, this matter may have already passed. Lan Mu may have divorced that woman, and he and him have a marriage certificate. They are legal couples, and that man treats him so well. Sometimes, he may choose to be patient and compromise.Who knows, but it sure wasn't the same as it is now.

"As long as I think about how well you are living now, I feel uncomfortable all over. Why can you still live so well without me? I can't eat or sleep these days. I always want to do something. I think about it in the middle of the night I ran to your house and set fire to it, and burned you, that man, and the paintings in that room to ashes."

The expression on Lu Mingyuan's face remained unchanged, he looked at Ye Cheng and said, "It's impossible for me to just watch you and other people love each other and live a happy life."

As he said that, he laughed again: "You see, your so-called happy life is just a joke, just like that silly woman who shows her happiness online, ha! Ye Cheng, look, a If you are not careful, you will become someone else's mistress, this world is really ridiculous."
