Scumbag's contract canary

Yuan Xi didn't think clearly about the reason Tang Du explained to him until he got off the car, but he recalled the kiss on his fingertips many times.

He never knew his value in Tang Du's heart, but he was very afraid that one day he would be abandoned, and he only had the impression of his name and appearance like all the people who passed through Tang Du's life.

Tang Du could tell that Yuan Xi was in a bad mood. After returning to the hotel to wash up, Yuan Xi sat by the bed and checked the emails from his tutor. Just as he put down his phone, Tang Du hugged him from behind, brought the tablet over, and said, "This It’s the general situation of the exhibition, let’s see what you want first.”

The most eye-catching exhibition of this exhibition is the work of the up-and-coming artist Elson.

Yuan Xi saw the person he had seen in the hotel lobby from the photo of Elson and his famous work "Moss".

He regretted coming here more and more because of his hotheadedness, and he guessed that Tang Du's situation should be similar to his.He missed Tang Du, but Tang Du might just be unaccustomed to it because of the brief separation, and he could get used to it one day.

Yuan Xi himself also draws, but he is very aware that there is still a huge gap between himself and Elson. It will take him a lot of time, and it may not be able to make up for the gap.

"Forget it, go to sleep when you're sleepy." Tang Du took the tablet away from Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi didn't react immediately, he held it a little tight, and even made Tang Du exert some strength.

Tang Du was very strange that night. He did many unreasonable things. He should be flattering Yuan Xi, or maybe he was apologizing to him. Yuan Xi was very uncomfortable.Tang Du actually carefully asked him if the temperature in the room was right, and whether he wanted to eat or not. In the end, Yuan Xi closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. Tang Du said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."

Yuan Xi turned over to face Tang Du, his reopened eyes were bright in the darkness, he raised his thin arm and hung it around Tang Du's neck, Tang Du held his elbow and pulled him up Some were close to him and buried in his very fragrant neck.

Yuan Xi shook his head, Tang Du felt it.

"If you don't like it, just say it." Tang Du touched the back of his head, hugged him tightly and closed his eyes.

Tang Du didn't have much artistic accomplishment, so after hearing someone mention this art exhibition by chance, he asked Chen Jingyun to find relevant introductions, and took a quick look.

He never thought of letting Yuan Xi come over, it was just a temporary idea.

That night, Yuan Xi's cell phone was broken, and the network connected to the video was also very bad. Tang Du didn't see anything clearly, but when Yuan Xi approached the screen, he found two penguins on his head.

Tang Du suddenly thought that the whistle he bought for Yuan Xi had become a decoration, and the clockwork had indeed more application scenarios than the whistle.

When buying something related to penguins, Tang Du was not by Yuan Xi's side.

An urgent desire rose in Tang Du's heart to bring Yuan Xi over, no matter how short the time was, and for any reason.

When Yuan Xi woke up in the morning, Tang Du was standing beside the bed wearing a suit, and it was time to put on the cuff buttons.Yuan Xi sat up from the bed, Tang Du came over, took Yuan Xi's hand and put the two cufflinks he gave him before into his palm.

It took Yuan Xi a long time to help him button it up. He was not proficient at first, and the cufflinks he made were not as good-looking as in the advertisement, but Tang Du still liked it, so just tell him to wear the clothes you want. It doesn't need to be very formal.

Yuan Xi still doesn't quite understand why Tang Du said that on purpose. Going to the art exhibition is just to look at the paintings. He will pay attention to dressing neatly, but he doesn't go to the point of a suit and tie.

Until the car stopped in front of the exhibition hall, more than a dozen reporters surrounded them with long guns and short cannons. After the microphone was handed out, a series of questions in English, Yuan Xi probably listened, and basically asked Tang Du why he was so high-profile Participate in a young artist's exhibition.

The security guard quickly stepped up to block them for them. Tang Du grabbed Yuan Xi's wrist, half-closed him in front of him, and led him inside with great force.

After entering the hall, Tang Du let go of him. Chen Jingyun, who had been waiting at the side early, delivered the prepared tickets for the two of them. The bronzing invitation letter had Yuan Xi's Chinese name written on it. Only then did he know that Tang Du was getting a VIP. tickets, they also need to attend the opening ceremony of the exhibition.

The seat was in the middle of the front row, and the people around were all in formal suits. Only Yuan Xi chose a simple shirt jacket and denim. He was inappropriate because he didn't know the specific situation, and he couldn't sit still.

Tang Du had anticipated the current situation when he said in the morning that you could be more casual, but he was not worried at all, and calmly touched Yuan Xi's shoulder, "It's fine."

Yuan Xi should have been appeased, leaned back a little and leaned on the back of the chair, and waited quietly for the opening with Tang Du.

He used to often participate in art exhibitions, but most of the time he was just an ordinary spectator. He would hold a ticket that he had struggled to get by setting the alarm clock, and lined up at the door with many people, went through the security check, and always remembered not to bring boiled water.No reporter wanted to ask him why he came, or how he felt after seeing the painting.

Yuan Xi usually spends the entire ticket time alone in front of a few pictures, then leaves with the crowd, buys a quick dinner at a restaurant with fewer people but not delicious, and finally chooses the right one according to the distance from home Transportation.

Instead of sitting in the resplendent hall like this moment, listening to the curator's speech and seeing the painter's true face.

The young and handsome Elson also wore a handsome suit today, which was more luxurious than when they met in a hurry at the hotel that day.In the circle of art, people respect their elders, but envy those who become famous at a young age.The same goes for Yuan Xi.

Standing under countless lights, Elson talked freely about his artistic ideals and creative ideas, which made Yuan Xi wonder whether this is what he is currently pursuing.

Recognized, fame and fortune.

Yuan Xi listened very carefully, and at the end of the session, Tang Du actually stepped onto the stage as an invitee.

He heard him say some very general and routine words, standing with Elson, they were a perfect match.

A deep inferiority complex finally enveloped Yuan Xi again. He knew that one day he would feel this way. The only thing he could call special was an incurable physical disability.

There was applause in the lobby, the sound of the shutter was equally loud, and the flashes were fired many times in a row. Tang Du kept his expressionless face on the stage, and after he and Elson walked off the stage, he was left behind by him say.

Yuan Xi could only see their bodies sideways, Tang Du was standing upright, and Elson hardly raised his head because he was about the same height as him.

The host announced that the opening ceremony was over, and all the guests can choose something they like to eat, and then they can move to the exhibition area after a good rest.

Yuan Xi suddenly understood at which stage he had the opportunity to enter the art exhibition.

At this time, the security checkpoint will let in the people who have been waiting outside for a long time. They open the posters, look for and flock to their favorite areas, and enjoy the same painting with the people who go out from here.

He stood up with the crowd, without any appetite for the dazzling array of food.But he knew that Tang Du was right behind him, and he would notice him immediately after talking to Elson. He needed to drift with the crowd to show that he didn't care much.

When Yuan Xi was staring at a glass of transparent water, not sure if it was wine, someone came from behind.

"This is lemonade."

When Yuan Xi turned his head, it was Elson who spoke, but Tang Du followed him, holding a poster of the art exhibition in his hand.

Yuan Xi didn't know if Elson understood what he couldn't speak, and this was usually the most embarrassing moment for him.If the other party doesn't understand your situation, and you just nod and shake your head blindly, it will appear very offensive.

So Yuan Xi took the glass of water as he said, and put it on the small tray he took earlier. Elson smiled and said, "Didn't Tang make you full in the morning? Or is the chef I hired really good?"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and looked at his own plate, which contained all kinds of things, including Italian dishes, English breakfast, and some local specialties, a little bit of each, still piled up into a small peak.

Yuan Xi realized in embarrassment that he couldn't finish his meal because his mind was distracted and he didn't pay attention to control, and the leftovers on such an occasion were extremely unsightly, and he still lost Tang Du's face.

Tang Du stood aside, his face didn't change much, but Yuan Xi felt that he was not very happy anymore.

"What's the matter if you eat more?" Because he was afraid of shaking Yuan Xi's hand holding the tray, Tang Du only gently grabbed his elbow, "Go and sit first."

Tang Du chose a remote place for them.Elson didn't keep up, but Yuan Xi didn't feel relaxed.Holding up his fork, he started with the hardest chunks first.

Tang Du sat across from him looking at his phone, didn't speak, and didn't go to get something to eat.

It was close to noon, and when it was lunch time, Yuan Xi wanted to ask him why he didn't eat, but felt that the atmosphere was awkward.

He moved the fork much less frequently, because it became less and less possible to eat.

At this time Tang Du finally spoke and asked him, "Don't want to eat?"

Yuan Xi nodded honestly, straightened up a little, and left the fork in his hand off the plate.

"Go get me a glass of water." After Tang Du finished speaking, he picked up the plate in front of Yuan Xi with one hand, and reached for the fork in his hand with the other.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, then saw Tang Du eat what was left on his plate with his fork, and urged him to get water.

Yuan Xi stood up in a daze, and on the way back to the long table where the food was placed, he recalled Tang Du's actions just now in disbelief.

He took a glass of the same lemonade for Tang Du, and met Elson on the promenade. At that time, he was talking to a middle-aged woman. Cut off the conversation and come to him.

"You are Yuanxi?" Elson said his Chinese name, and the pronunciation was standard.

Yuan Xi nodded, he had no intention of talking to Elson, he just wanted to go back quickly with the water, but obviously Elson thought the opposite of him.

"Bai An, it's because of you." Elson said in a very firm tone, but smiled happily.

Yuan Xi hadn't heard this name for a long time, but he soon remembered the news about Bai Zhengmin's investigation that day.He shook his head, Tang Du's methods against Bai's family were not because of him, but because of his mother Yao Zilan.

"You guys are so interesting." Elson smiled more happily. For the first time, Yuan Xi didn't care about etiquette, turned around and left with the cup.

When he returned to the small table, Tang Du had already solved most of the problems, and asked him casually, "Why are you so slow?"

Yuan Xi put the cup by his hand, so that Tang Du could easily hold it.

"After the afternoon, there will be an auction in the evening." Tang Du stopped here, a little suddenly.

At the same time, they remembered that Tang Du had asked this question last night, but Yuan Xi did not answer.

After being quiet for two or three seconds, Yuan Xi took the initiative to bring over the poster, looked down at the picture displayed on it, pretended to be very interested, and fooled Tang Du who was eating without looking at him carefully.

Yuan Xi was the only one who was serious about the exhibition in the afternoon. Tang Du answered several calls at first, but at the end he seemed very irritable. He contacted Chen Jingyun to come and pick up the phone, and told him to come back in the evening.

Yuan Xi knew that he had delayed Tang Du's work, and Tang Du obviously didn't like looking at paintings at all, so he should have come by himself from the beginning.

Yuan Xi didn't pay much attention to the whole exhibition, because Tang Du's presence was too strong.

He always stood very close to Yuanxi, making him always pay attention to Tang Du's breathing in the very quiet exhibition hall, but he couldn't tell whether Tang Du was on purpose or not.

When Chen Jingyun came to inform them that they could enter the auction, Tang Du asked Yuan Xi, "Do you still want to see it?"

Yuan Xi struggled for a while, looked at Chen Jingyun and then at Tang Du, and finally began to type with his head down: You go there first, I can see it myself.

Tang Du frowned when he looked down at the screen, and angrily took Chen Jingyun away without saying a word.

Seeing Tang Du's back as he turned and left, Yuan Xi suddenly felt that this was the right way.Yuan Xi is not suitable for VIP tickets, not suitable for participating in opening ceremonies and auctions, but only suitable for standing in front of paintings and being a very ordinary person.

In the evening, Yuan Xi visited the exhibition area again, went to his favorite picture, and looked at it carefully for a long time, as long as a sculpture, until someone woke him up.

"That's my favorite, too." It was Elson again, swapping out his suit for comfortable casual clothes.

Yuan Xi glanced at the time. According to the official timetable, Elson's works should be auctioned now, but he himself appeared in a corner of the exhibition hall.

"I heard you also paint," Elson said.

Yuan Xi nodded, if Elson said that he heard that you were also a painter, then he might not know how to react.

Elson saw Yuan Xi's glance at the poster and said, "The auction is too boring. Those rich people don't want my paintings at all, they just want my reputation."

Yuan Xi tightened his grip on the poster.

Elson complained to him about other things, but Yuan Xi didn't pay attention.He couldn't figure out how Elson could think he was a chatty guy.

But he couldn't talk for a long time, because Tang Du sent him a message asking where he was now.

Yuan Xi sent him the location, and soon Tang Du came over, accompanied by an older man.

Elson walked over and hugged the old man. Yuan Xi quickly recognized that this was a well-known teacher who was currently teaching at a university, but hardly had students with him.

"This is Yuan Xi," Tang Du walked up to Yuan Xi, "This is Professor Alan."

Yuan Xi greeted the professor clumsily, and after hearing some pleasantries from the professor, he chatted with Elson again.

Tang Du lowered his head and asked him in a low voice: "Is there anything you want to ask?"

Yuan Xi suddenly felt that Tang Du was helping him cheat, but finally shook his head.

A group of people left the exhibition hall. Yuan Xi followed Tang Du and was about to get into the car when Professor Alan stopped him and said, "I know your tutor."

Yuan Xi turned around.

"Son, you're doing pretty well."

Yuan Xi stopped and paused for a long time. He didn't thank Professor Alan for his praise until he left.

Tang Du stroked Yuan Xi's hair and asked him, "Are you stupid?"

Yuan Xi just got into the car.

Chen Jingyun was on the co-pilot, and the fender was raised.

Tang Du didn't speak, Yuan Xi knew he was still angry.

Tang Du took him to see the art exhibition. In the field he is not good at, maybe the VIP ticket is the best. It is the best to be able to participate in all the activities. It is best to be able to meet a famous professor and get two or three words from him. Best of all, Tang Du just doesn't understand yet.

All the best things can make Yuan Xi immediately realize that he is humble and insignificant, not worthy of anything.

When the car turned a corner, Yuan Xi leaned against Tang Du's neck, hugged his waist, rolled over and sat on his lap.

Tang Du didn't seem to be very used to Yuan Xi's active approach, his hands froze for a while before wrapping his arms around his back.

Then they started kissing, Tang Du clasped his chin, and kissed him with a ferocious intensity that hadn't been seen for a long time.

Yuan Xi discovered that when communicating with Tang Du, the body is far more effective than words.And the longer she was with him, the more Yuan Xi got used to this way.

Needless to say, when you are irritable, you will have more strength, and when you are bright, you will pretend to ask if you want more, your mind will be dizzy by the other person's panting, and you will forget the reason why everything started.

Use an active appearance to cover up the essence of escape.

Just like their very strange relationship, it's like drinking a glass of lemonade with a strawberry in it. When you feel sour, the aftertaste is sweet. After you taste the sweetness, the next bite is sour.Keep looping, no solution.

Yuan Xi lay on his shoulder and breathed lightly, Tang Du's fingers were still resting on his lower abdomen, and the cold tail ring touched the warm skin from time to time, making Yuan Xi, who was still sensitive, tremble occasionally.

Tang Du pulled out his fingers, straightened the hem of his clothes in the posture of hugging him, and asked, "Did the ring make you feel uncomfortable?"

Before Yuan Xi understood what it meant, Tang Du held his hand, and the rings that he took off at some point walked past the fingertips of the five fingers one by one.

When he touched his ring finger, the car stepped on the brakes, and Tang Du paused for a longer time.

Yuan Xi felt that this was his own delusion, a misunderstanding caused by the driver, because Tang Du quickly put the ring on his index finger, and rubbed it close to the base of the finger.

"It seems a little tight." Tang Du said with some regret.

Yuan Xi raised his hand, like someone abandoned by gravity, unable to put it down for a long time.
