be late

On the green lawn, the photographer held up the camera, pressed the shutter, and clicked.

The screen freezes.

— A group of young people wearing black doctor’s hats took a group photo behind a Gothic-style building. The hall behind them is an exhibition of graduate works, oil paintings, watercolors, photography, sculptures... many works of art have attracted countless The crowd of onlookers.

After taking pictures, Shu Yubai was about to leave, but her teacher patted her on the shoulder from behind: "Are you going back to China?"

"Ah."

Shu Yubai nodded: "Teacher, what about you?"

"I'll stay—for a while." Su Hanting said: "I will go on a trip in the next few days and see all the small European countries near here—look, the scenery is beautiful, and I will go back after seeing enough."

"Okay, I wish the teacher a good time."

Shu Yubai looked down at the densely packed schedule, and said in a hurry: "I can't go anymore, I will return to the state-owned exhibition in a few days."

"That's when I asked you to study abroad."

Su Hanting smiled: "How good is it now? I have a doctorate from the Paris Academy of Fine Arts. According to the current policy, I will be directly airborne as an associate professor when I return to China—others will have to evaluate the title for several years."

"—you didn't want to come at first."

Su Hanting patted her on the shoulder: "Go back to China and work hard, you have always been very good."

"Thank you."

Shu Yu's white face was slightly hot, and a gust of wind blew her long hair.

Shu Yubai simply finished taking photos, went to the residence to pack his luggage, hailed a taxi by the side of the road, and rushed to the airport.

Passing through the thick white clouds, the passenger plane wobbled violently, then broke through the rain clouds smoothly, and flew silently on the stratosphere.The blue sky is as clean as an oil painting.

The sunlight was very strong, Shu Yubai blocked it with his hands, and closed his eyes under the light from the porthole.

The streets are unbelievably crowded.

She carried a huge black backpack on her shoulders, and dragged a trolley case in her hand, all of which were works made in recent years. She was squeezed into the subway by the crowd, and then squeezed out of the subway.

The next day I will attend an art exhibition.

Art Basel Hong Kong, also known as ArtBacolorlHK, is an art gathering space curated by important Asian artists and showcasing world-renowned artists. [Note 1] In the old city, the buildings of the last century are still there, and the small and scattered signboards hang in the middle of the narrow and narrow roads, as if surviving in the cracks. The smell of roasted chestnuts on the street poured into the eyes.

The hotel location is set on the streets of Mong Kok.

The price is frighteningly expensive—a mediocre room can cost thousands of nights.Even though she has become a little richer these years, she still has a little distressed purse.

Shu Yubai went to the front desk of the hotel to check in, and she felt dizzy when she heard the other party - Kou Gangpu. The conversation was over, she held the room card and went upstairs, opened the door, and the inside was quite ventilated. Shu Yubai opened the window and closed the curtains , listening to the sound of cars coming and going in the dim light, entered the house and fell asleep.

Unfortunately, I was woken up not long after I fell asleep.

The phone rang, Shu Yubai struggled - for a while, - Gu Lu sat up from the quilt, picked up the phone from the bedside table: "Hello?"

Shu Yubai—with her black hair disheveled, she asked:

"I'm still sleeping, where have you been?"

"We're at the airport."

The woman on the other end of the phone smiled.

Shu Yubai said vaguely, "Do you want me to pick it up?"

"No, I'll do it myself." The woman said, "Sleep well, and when my sister comes back, I'll take you out to play."

The person on the other end of the phone who calls herself "Sister" is a friend she met when she was studying abroad, Shi Chu.The art theory she learned at the time was the only one she could talk to in her narrow foreign social circle.

Before I started my Ph.D., I worked as an agent for those well-known painters.

Painters need a broker

Brokers are responsible for selling paintings, opening up the market in the art circle, and even hype.

After Shi Chu got acquainted with Shu Yubai, they resumed their old jobs. Although they were friends, at the same time, Shi Chu was equivalent to a broker responsible for helping her develop markets and earn money.

As for Shu Yubai, he doesn't know how to operate it at all, so he just needs to draw quietly and well.

She hung up the phone, still a little sleepy, so she retracted into the quilt again, rolled herself up and continued to sleep.

Half an hour later, the phone rang again:

"Shu Yubai."

The other side said, "I'm here, which room are you in?"

Shu Yubai reported the number, got off the bed, changed a set of clothes, opened the door, and waited sleepily by the door. She didn't sleep well, and couldn't open her sleepy eyes.

"Hi."

Shi Chu dragged his suitcase and ran all the way: "Hey, it's finally here, what do you want for dinner? Let's go shopping for a while."

Shu Yubai watched her enter the room and said, "You sleep here too?"

"Ah."

Shi Chu lowered his head, opened the suitcase, picked a few clothes from inside, threw them on the bed, and blinked: "Aren't these two beds? I'll save you money when I booked them - we'll share them, and stay - night —there are just—thousands of people.”

"alright."

Shu Yubai climbed onto the bed again, ready to catch up on sleep.

"Don't sleep."

Shi Chu leaned closer and said affectionately, "Let's go shopping—for a while? Buy some lipstick or something."

Shu Yubai shook his head: "I don't want to wear makeup anymore, you can go."

"You don't even put on makeup?"

Shi Chu clicked his tongue a few times: "Good job, you are only in your 20s, don't you need to be so plain?"

"never mind."

Shu Yubai - black hair spread out, covering his face: "I'm not looking for a partner, who will I show my makeup to? Go ahead, you have a boyfriend..."

She rolled up the quilt and buried her head in it.

Shi Chu hummed twice and said:

"Actually, I'm taking you to see beautiful women - get up quickly! Before anyone else leaves, I'll help you get a WeChat."

"..."

Shu Yubai didn't reply.

"it is true."

When I first saw that Shu Yubai didn't take it seriously, I was anxious and immediately emphasized:

"I saw a little beauty."

Shi Chu clicked his tongue twice: "I have a hunch, she must be the one you like."

"You know that?"

Shu Yubai narrowed his eyes to look at her.

"Tall, thin, white, and very clean. Wearing a light blue plaid shirt."

"Shoulder-length short hair, she has an outstanding temperament, and she is deserted."

"Looks so young... You see, if she is a student, if you go after her, it will be easy to chase her."

"Now the price of your painting is worth the income of ordinary people for several years. You are gentle and beautiful, and you are still a painter. The conditions are very good."

Shi Chu even enjoyed it for her, and joked happily:

"It's great to take care of a young sister."

Baoyang... Shu Yubai made her laugh.

"get up!"

At the beginning of the time, she was determined not to give up until she was pulled out of the bed, Shu Yubai was afraid, and finally got up and got out of the bed, standing at the sink of the hotel to wash his face.

"Let's go."

Shu Yubai wiped off the water droplets on his face and said.

"Just go out like this?"

Shichu asked.

"Otherwise?" Shu Yubai said inexplicably, "I've never been like this."

"No makeup? Don't wear a small skirt?"

Shi Chu said: "Where did you come from like this, you deserve to be single."

Shu Yubai turned around and closed the door, saying, "It's fine to be single."

When I saw her for the first time, I couldn't help but ask:

"You still can't let go?"

Shu Yubai didn't speak, lowered his head, and inserted the room card into the purse with thin white fingers.In the dim light, in the long corridor - the doors are closed tightly, and there is an unknown totem on the carpet, it is very soft to step on, and there is no sound at all.

Shi Chu asked, "Then why did you break up at that time?"

Shu Yubai closed his eyes.

She didn't speak.

—Out of the hotel, the cold wind blows from Victoria Harbor at night, which is surprisingly cold.

At dusk at the end of spring, a Cantonese song sounded on the street. I don’t know which shop it came from. People wore gray coats and walked down the narrow and clean street. As night fell, the lights came up.

Wei Lan's "Street Lamp Dinner".

"You are you, you all say you can't grow up / just being obsessed now doesn't mean - live together without fear of suffering / I'm not happy and I just want you to explain how you know how to care / Is it because I love you for the future / who wants to calculate Let’s enjoy the evening blessings——”

Shu Yubai lowered his head and said softly:

"I'm better off without her... I'm the one who messed up her life...you won't understand."

Shichu was carrying a bag, looking at the crowded streets:

"After breaking up for so long, she didn't seem to find you to get back together. Everyone has let go, why are you hypocritical."

Shu Yu was speechless.

The wind at night is a little lonely.

Shi Chu patted her thin shoulder: "Go, I'll take you to see the little beauty."
