as you meet

Mentioning French and thinking of Mr., pulled all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and was suddenly pierced by Dr Watson. Ji Yusheng was a little embarrassed, so he was a little annoyed why he remembered everything he saw, while taking the cardboard box in Dr Watson's hand, changing the subject He said: "Professor, let me help you carry this." But after taking it, he weighed it and found that the carton was much lighter than expected, so he asked:

"Dr Watson, is that all you have?"

Dr Watson teased Ji Yusheng who was desperately changing the subject with a bouquet, and said, "It seems that life is so precious that he doesn't want to share it with me."

"is either or..."

Faced with Dr Watson's teasing, Ji Yusheng was a little at a loss holding the cardboard box, hesitating for a long time, and finally he could only say this sentence:

"A person who likes to think that once he is mentioned to others, the chance of calling his name will be reduced once, so he wants to keep these opportunities for the person who calls him."

The thousands of opportunities that could call him in his life were all selfishly wanted to be reserved for himself in front of him, and they all wanted to get his response.It would be a bit too wasteful to waste the opportunity on himself who is thousands of miles away from him, because this is a precious and rare opportunity.

Dr Watson narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and a bright smile that was extremely happy for others appeared on his face.

"Haha, it's okay, I also have things that I love so much that I don't want to share them with others."

Dr Watson saw that Ji Yusheng's ears were red after he finished speaking, so he stopped joking, looked down at the carton, nodded and said:

"Those books are left to the new professors, and we will rely on them in the future. Retirement, you just have to learn to let go to the next generation, and you can't drag everything into your own hands anymore."

DrWatson looked back at the empty table again, and then left towards the door without looking back. When he left, he said again, "Let's go, don't miss me, treat the next person who comes in well.", with the cutest Say goodbye to your past "comrades in arms" in the same way.

When leaving, DrWatson looked at the Academy of Arts in the setting sun, raised his chubby hands, and saluted the muse statue at the door in a funny but solemn way.After putting down his hand, DrWatson sighed and said with emotion:

"It's been so many years in a flash. I think our department was the most popular department back then. We were the most famous name in the world. At that time, all our students went out with their heads up high and they were proud of their department. Yes." Dr Watson looked at the faded door and said, "Now it's deserted, people ask me when I go out, and when I mention art, I have to be laughed at behind my back and say that we only come to art because of poor grades. "

"Indeed... a lot has changed..." Thinking of Song Shihe's experience in University A and Dr Watson's sigh, Ji Yusheng said sadly:

"Art is dying..."

"But in fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Everything has withering, and I believe that art is no exception." Dr Watson looked at the shining plaque of the college in the sun, took a deep breath and said, "After withering, you will come back from a desperate situation. Sooner or later, art will enter the hearts of the public and become a popular profession, after all, art is something that can grow flowers in the gutter.”

Hearing this sentence, Ji Yusheng thought of what Mr. Song said to him many years ago, and his heart moved.

Ji Yusheng nodded affirmatively, and said, "Well, our city has paid more and more attention to the development of art in recent years, and I believe it will be even better in the future."

After finishing speaking, Dr Watson patted Ji Yusheng on the shoulder, and said, "After I leave, I will rely on you in the future. Even if everyone criticizes you, even if you are reduced to a so-called "subsidiary department", you must follow your own beliefs." Then turn around and leave gracefully.

This simple sentence suddenly touched Ji Yusheng, making him stand in front of the Academy of Art for a long time, unable to move away. The sun shone in his eyes, which made his eyes ache and sore, but he felt that he had a more luxuriant vitality in his heart , burning more vigorously.

It wasn't until Dr Watson urged him that he reacted, looked away from the entrance of the academy, and turned to follow.

When we arrived at the parking lot, after opening the car door, Dr Watson suddenly asked him:

"Do you want me to drive?"

Ji Yusheng raised his head in surprise,

"Huh? I can drive it. Does Dr Watson want to drive it?"

DrWatson shook his head, with a worried face, "No, it's just that you seem tired to me."

"Really?" Thinking of staying up all night for the company's affairs recently, Ji Yusheng touched his face, not wanting Dr Watson to worry, so he smiled and said: "I'm fine, I'm not very tired, maybe I just drank coffee yesterday and didn't sleep good."

DrWatson stared at him for a while, and said, "Has anything happened to you recently?"

Ji Yusheng shook his head and said cheerfully:

"Nothing happened, why do you ask?"

"You're obviously not in a good mood."

"..."

"What's the matter?" Dr Watson leaned closer, frowning and asked worriedly.

Ji Yusheng shook his head, pulled himself together and said:

"That... Actually, I just wanted to ask the professor, do you know that there is a poetry festival held in City X this month?"

DrWatson thought for a while and said:

"Well, I heard from a friend that there was one, and it was quite a grand poetry gathering. Many poets from different places and factions were invited to recite poems and fight against each other."

Ji Yusheng nodded, and asked again: "Then...Professor, do you know where it was held?"

"I'm not very clear about this, I can ask my friends for you."

"OK, thanks."

"It's okay. What's the matter? Are you going to that poetry meeting?"

"Well, I'm a little interested."

"Oh, but this poetry meeting seems to require an invitation letter." Dr Watson gestured to the shape of a card with his hands and said.

"...that's how it is"

"It's okay, I can ask for you."

After sending Dr Watson home, he got out of the car and knocked on Ji Yusheng's car window suddenly. Ji Yusheng rolled down the car window and asked with some doubts:

"What happened to Dr Watson? Is something missing?"

DrWatson asked him a little suddenly:

"Shengsheng, you've been studying oriental art lately, right?"

Facing the sudden question, Ji Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

"Recently, I plan to hold an exhibition on oriental paintings in City X with my students who graduated a long time ago. Unfortunately, the study of western paintings is more popular now. I can't find anyone who specializes in this area to discuss and plan themed exhibits together. I am very troubled by this, how about you help us?"

"Me?" Ji Yusheng was very surprised to receive this invitation suddenly. After all, he is a person without any art degree, and he has the opportunity to participate in the curation.

DrWatson nodded and said affirmatively:

"Well, isn't that what you're studying in your class?"

"But I haven't graduated yet...can I?"

DrWatson smiled and said:

"Knowledge is not absorbed at the moment of receiving the diploma. Let's try it. Anyway, we haven't found anyone to help us yet."

Ji Yusheng quietly clenched his fist underneath, and said, "Okay, I want to try, and I will work hard."

"It's okay, just do your best," Dr Watson patted Ji Yusheng's shoulder, "Don't put too much pressure on us, we'll discuss it together, just take it as an experience, and you might have the opportunity to help others curate in the future."

"Okay, thank you professor."

"It's okay." DrWatson smiled, "I'm retired, don't call me professor, just call me by my name, and I always say we are like friends!"

Ji Yusheng rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Well, good!"

DrWatson put his hands on the car window and said with a relaxed face against the evening wind: "When I'm settled, I'll call you and take you to my house by the river for a few weeks, and we'll go fishing together by the river." Chat and relax."

Listening to Dr Watson's words, Ji Yusheng could already imagine how pleasant Dr Watson's leisure retirement life would be.

"Haha, yes, I'll really look forward to your call."

After Ji Yusheng said goodbye to Dr Watson, in order to live up to Dr Watson's trust in him, he dug out many oriental art books and paintings to read carefully after returning home.Every time he reads these, he can always feel that there is a spring of vitality in his heart that is about to break out of the cocoon, allowing his thoughts to fly.With this turbulent emotion, Ji Yusheng decided to continue to work hard and study at the same time, otherwise he would be no different from his cowardly self back then.

Before he listened to Song Shihe's words to wake up the dreamer, he decided that even if Mr. Song didn't care about him anymore, he would continue to work hard to achieve what he wanted to do, and from now on only for his own goals, for Let more people be able to capture the beauty and strive, and then try to bring Mr. back if possible.If he becomes walking alone on this road, then he can only encourage himself when he lights up the lamp to study at night, or when he is too busy physically and mentally exhausted, always reminding him to be stronger.

But after seeing the words "C'estlePrintemps" that night, it was more than that.Now he can still work hard for his husband, and when he thinks about him when he is down, he will have more hope and stronger strength to support himself to go on.

Caressing the painting glowing under the silvery moonlight, Ji Yusheng clenched his fists and made up his mind:

Go on hard.
