Ye Cheng

"Hello, Ye Cheng."

"Ah, it's Elder Zhong."

"Two days ago I chatted with a friend from country I, and I happened to talk about your situation. He is now teaching in an art academy over there. Because the school is not very big, he is not well-known, but he is quite good in all aspects. Not bad, would you like to send some works over for them to see?"

"Is it in country I?"

"Yeah, I think you're a pretty good seed, otherwise I wouldn't tell them that."

"You have a heart."

"After all, if you want to learn oil painting, no matter in terms of technique or thought, country F and country I are more mature. Although it is a small academy, once you go there, you can feel the artistic trend there."

"Yes."

"Then what's your attitude? I think you don't really want to go. Is it because you have financial difficulties? If you have difficulties, just say, while you are still young, take a good walk and see if you can go on this road. If you have made achievements, it depends on the past few years, and when you get older, if you have no passion or drive, everything you say will be empty."

"You have a point."

"Don't yell at me, tell me, what do you mean, go or not?"

"Of course I want to go, but I have to discuss with my friends about going abroad."

"That's it, how about you send the work to see the attitude of the other side first, if the school is willing to accept you, then discuss it with your friends?" Zhong Lao gave Ye Cheng an unreliable idea .

"I still have to say hello to Professor Han." If he goes abroad, he will not be able to return for several years. He is still studying Chinese painting with Professor Han. It is definitely inappropriate for him to leave immediately.

"What you said makes sense, but I'm just annoyed by your whining personality. You're an older man than me. Just a word, it's so simple to go or not to go."

Ye Cheng could only smile wryly. This old man is very old and has a hot temper. He is also short-tempered. It is said that quick-tempered people are short-lived, but he has a particularly long life.

Country I is undoubtedly one of the common halls in the hearts of art students. Ye Cheng didn't come from a major, but only studied for a few years. It is not easy to study abroad. Now there is a school that is willing to give him a chance. Of course, Ye Cheng Don't want to miss it either.

But he wasn't alone, and Professor Han would definitely have to give an explanation. If he didn't nod, Ye Cheng wouldn't be able to just leave.The most important thing was Lu Mingyuan. They had been separated for ten years, and some things happened in the middle. Now that they finally got together, it was a long time coming. Now if you tell him that you are going to country I, I don't know how crazy this person will be.

Mr. Zhong said to send out the work first, and then decide whether to go or not after the other party gives a reply, but Ye Cheng has no way to do this. When the notice from over there is sent, even if it is just a piece of light paper, he can easily send them away. The two of them were overwhelmed.At that time, if Lu Mingyuan refuses to agree, anyone will say that he is wrong, what will Lu Mingyuan think, will he feel that he has betrayed, it is hard for Ye Cheng to imagine how things will develop by then.

After a while, I received an address from Mr. Zhong on my mobile phone. Ye Cheng knew that this school had been mentioned by his classmates when he was in the adult education class. Although the scale is not very large, the reputation is quite good. Every year The number of recruits was not large, and if it wasn't for Mr. Zhong's recommendation, I wouldn't be able to reach the other party's threshold.

Ye Cheng put down his phone and walked into the second bedroom. Lu Yeqiu was rolling on the carpet. This kid had a great ability to entertain himself.

In the blink of an eye, I have lived in this house for almost a year. At the beginning, I couldn't find a sense of belonging, but now I gradually get used to it, especially with Lu Yeqiu by my side, with a lover and children, it is really like a home.Going to country I, not only would Lu Mingyuan not agree, but he himself would not be willing to do so. The world is changing. When he comes back in a few years, will there still be a place for him here?

Lu Mingyuan's recent work has been on track, and his working hours have gradually shortened, and he returns home a lot earlier every night. Just after 05:30, Ye Cheng heard the sound of him opening the door and coming back.

"It's so early." Ye Cheng picked up Lu Yeqiu who was on the ground, and walked out to welcome him.

"It's not too early, Lu Zhennan was much more relaxed than me back then, and it will be sooner in the future." Lu Mingyuan leaned over and kissed Lu Yeqiu's cheek hard, and then leaned towards Ye Cheng.

"Don't always do this kind of thing in front of Lu Yeqiu." Ye Cheng avoided it with a smile. Every time he was arguing with Lu Mingyuan, Lu Yeqiusou looked at him with wide eyes, which made Ye Cheng very embarrassed.

"She's still so young, she should be forgotten when she grows up." Lu Mingyuan stretched out two palms to hug Ye Cheng's head, and kissed him on the mouth.

Because it was still early, Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan took Lu Yeqiu out for shopping. If only Ye Cheng was alone, the work would be more difficult. It was fine in the supermarket, but it was very troublesome to go out of the supermarket. To carry something.

Lu Yeqiu has already begun to know how to beg for things. When she pushed the shopping cart into the toy section, she would ask for this and that, and Lu Mingyuan would stuff them all into the cart. There were too many things. Ye Cheng would sometimes take advantage of When she wasn't paying attention, she secretly took a few and put them back on the shelf.

The three of them went to the supermarket like this, as if they were an ordinary family of three. Although the two of them were men, they attracted strange looks from some people in the supermarket, but Ye Cheng and Lu Mingyuan didn't care. Relatively speaking, the current domestic The atmosphere has become quite open. After all, the old traditions have been completely destroyed in the past, and there are no religious forces with absolute power like some Western countries.

Regarding the matter of going abroad, Ye Cheng just shelved it. It was difficult for him to speak to Lu Mingyuan, and he didn't know whether he could bear another parting.

One weekend not long after, when Ye Cheng was drawing on the balcony, Lu Mingyuan said to him: "I have your express, can I see it?"

"Open it and have a look." Ye Cheng usually doesn't want to put down the paintbrush when he picks it up, and there is never any secret between him and Lu Mingyuan, it's just a courier, just look at it.

Later, Lu Mingyuan didn't speak any more, and Ye Cheng didn't take it to heart. It might be some irrelevant things. Nowadays, people are very powerful, and they can always get other people's information from various channels, such as names, addresses, and phone numbers. Yes, some even know your ID number.

During dinner at night, Ye Cheng finally remembered about the courier: "What's in the courier at noon?"

"It's nothing, I'll let someone apply for a credit card." Lu Mingyuan was burying his head in his meal, and replied vaguely. "Ye Cheng, shall we go on a trip?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" After Ye Cheng has been to many places, he found that no matter where he went, mountains or rivers or water, what matters is life rather than scenery. To be honest, he is not very interested in traveling now.

"Have you been to many places?" Lu Mingyuan asked suddenly. "Is there no particularly beautiful place, let's go again together."

"But can you go away?"

"It's already an information society now. If you go away for a few days, something big will happen, and when you have a problem, you just come back. It's not like you don't have a car or a plane."

Lu Mingyuan needed to explain the company's affairs. Ye Cheng carried Lu Yeqiu to Ye Ping's house and asked Zhong Wanli to take him with him for a few days. , this has been married for a long time.

Ye Li and Lu Yeqiu got along very well, the main reason was that the girl Lu Yeqiu started to be nympho when she saw Ye Li, and she learned how to scream after a while, crawling back and forth, she didn't cry when Ye Cheng left.

On the way back, Ye Cheng received a call from Mr. Zhong: "I said you boy, why didn't you say anything when the courier was received, which made me think it was lost."

"What express delivery?" Ye Cheng was confused by the words.

"It's that painting, those two chickens, the one that Lao Zhang gave me last time." Zhong Lao on the other end of the phone said, "I think it's a good painting. Come on, the chances are better."

Hearing what he said, Ye Cheng remembered that a courier had arrived at home two days ago, and Lu Mingyuan had accepted it, but he didn't say anything. "Then did you still put something in there?"

"What else can I put, just a painting, oh, I wrote you another note, which is my friend's private address and phone number."

"Well, I'll go back and ask my friend if he has received it." Lu Mingyuan obviously did.

"Your friend took it? Boy, you haven't told him yet, have you? Now you're in big trouble." This old man, a few days ago, I don't know who advised Ye Cheng to kill him first, and now he's doing it again .

"It's okay, I'll ask first."

"Let me tell you, it takes a lot of time for you to send the painting over there, and then send the notice over there, and you have to do some preparations here, so you have to finalize things early That's all right, otherwise we won't be able to catch up with the registration time for next spring."

After Ye Cheng returned home, he searched around, and finally he found the painting from under the cabinet in the bedroom. It was wrapped several times thickly and wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent moisture. Ye Cheng could tell by looking at the size of the painting. It must be his painting.

Because he was worried that the original packaging would not be restored after unpacking, Ye Cheng did not open it, and carefully hid it back at the bottom of the cabinet again, and then began to make preparations before the trip.He seriously recalled every place he had passed by, screened and excluded them one by one, and then made a simple mark on the map. Lu Mingyuan seemed to be looking forward to this trip, and Ye Cheng didn't want to let him down.

The oil painting hidden at the bottom of the cabinet should be a secret between the two of them. As long as Lu Mingyuan doesn't tell it, Ye Cheng doesn't know about it.
