as you meet

They walked along the school's boulevard, which was very quiet all the way, but when they passed near the school dormitory, it suddenly became noisy.

"Ah, this is...?" Song Shihe looked forward and said.

Ji Yusheng followed his gaze and found a coffee shop with a giant graffiti-decorated exterior wall and a fluorescent yellow "Iridescent" sign above the door.Just looking at it from a distance, you can already feel the pop culture elements of the cafe.

"Ah, this is an art trend coffee shop next to our school dormitory. There are many works of modern artists such as KAWS and JeffKoons as decorations. It is very popular with students. Although it is closed today, Mr. Song is going to visit it ?”

"Ah ok... I feel that just the name is special. I don't know if the rainbow is used to represent more diverse and bold modernart? I didn't find it before." After that, the two of them went to the coffee shop together go.

"Hmm... Maybe it's because this coffee shop is closer to the student dormitory but farther from the main campus."

They walked to the coffee shop, and through the glass window, they could see a whole row of balloonrabbits created by Jeff Koons in different colors on the shelf next to the door. The simple but cute little rabbits sat on the shelf holding carrots obediently. The face without facial features makes the whole rabbit full of mystery.They are now eating carrots in the sunset and waiting for the moon to come, and when the moonlight falls on them, they will become the most distant rabbits in Alice in Wonderland.If you take a closer look inside, you can even see some KAWS decorations on the tables. The skull with something like ears adds a touch of street culture to the cafe. The artistic characteristics of KAWS derived from graffiti also bring to the cafe Strong sense of avant-garde and modern.

"I really want to go in and have a cup of coffee. I feel like I can walk into modern times when I approach this store." Song Shihe was eager to see the decoration of the coffee shop.

Ji Yusheng looked at the store introduction written in white on the glass window and said:

"His business hours are from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon. You can come before four next time."

"it is good."

When Song Shihe was about to leave, he found that Ji Yusheng was still standing in front of the store and looking at something.So he went back and asked:

"Shengsheng? What's the matter?"

"Ah, it's okay, this store seems to be recruiting temporary part-time jobs."

"Do you still want to find a temporary part-time job before graduation?"

"Well, I just want to find a short-term part-time job. But... mother probably won't allow it."

"Forget it, let's go." Ji Yusheng didn't look at the recruitment notice again, turned around and left, leaving Song Shihe looking at the notice thoughtfully.

"Mr. Song?"

"Well, here we come."

Before saying goodbye, Song Shihe suddenly remembered something and asked Ji Yusheng:

"Shengsheng, do you have time next Wednesday? I saw that the Art Society held a dream catcher making event. I'm very interested, so let's go together?"

Graduation is approaching, and the economics department will slowly start to get busy, and I have to start planning after graduation, but the next two weeks happen to be the last two weeks with a little leisure, so Ji Yusheng thinks it's better to treat it as busy One last relaxation before term.After that, it may be hard work for a while.

Seeing Ji Yusheng hesitated, Song Shihe thought he was thinking about what Mingtuo said, so he added:

"The results of the game will be out the next Friday, don't worry one by one"

"Ah, I don't care about that, it's just that it will be busy from the end of April, but let's go together."

"is it okay?"

Ji Yusheng nodded and said:

"Well! Yes, it will be very interesting, let's go dream hunting together."

"Great, then at least my dream catcher won't turn into a nightmare net."

Hearing this, Ji Yusheng couldn't help but chuckle,

"Haha, how did it get to that point?"

"Oh, you know my handwork is really horrible." Song Shihe looked very troubled.

"No, Mr. Song's stickman's body proportions are still very perfect."

"Shengsheng, are you making fun of me?"

"Haha, so am I."

When Ji Yusheng came home after seven o'clock, he saw his mother Li Jieying, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, sitting on the sofa watching TV, and was instantly a little surprised.

"Mom, are you back? Where have you been these few days?"

Li Jieying stared at the TV without even looking at him and said:

"It's not for your tuition. If it wasn't for you, I would have retired early to enjoy my life."

Ji Yusheng felt that since his father left, Li Jieying seemed to never want to listen to him, as if he had always misunderstood him, causing him to not know how to communicate with his mother, and the final result was an increasingly alienated relationship.

Ji Yusheng was silent for a while and said:

"I just finished my internship at the firm recently, and the art trend cafe in our school is recruiting short-term part-time jobs, I'm thinking about one by one"

The TV was suddenly turned off with a "snap", Li Jieying turned her head and looked at him fiercely and said:

"What? Art? You haven't given up yet, and you want to study art? That has no future, do you know? Do you know how many beggars on the street are studying art?"

The word "art" is like the pollen of plantain. My mother will be very sensitive when she touches it, and she will have a very big reaction like an allergic sneeze.

"That's just a part-time job in a cafe"

"I've said it many times, no! You don't need to take part-time jobs! Just concentrate on studying this last year! What are you going to do with only a few months left?"

"I won't let a part-time job interfere with my studies."

Li Jieying waved her hand and said loudly:

"Don't tell me it won't affect it, it will definitely affect it. When the time comes, your grades will plummet, and you won't be able to turn back if you fail to graduate."

"I'm worried you're too tired..."

Li Jieying stood up when she heard the words, spread her hands and said:

"Don't worry about me, I'm not tired for you! Not tired!"

She pointed at Ji Yusheng and said in a stern tone:

"You are not allowed to work part-time."

Seeing his mother's agitation, Ji Yusheng had no choice but to give up.

"it is good."

Only then did Li Jieying calm down a little, and she sat back on the sofa.

"But that..."

Li Jieying turned her head and glared at Ji Yusheng, and asked impatiently:

"what happened again?"

"I can apply for a dormitory at the end of the school term. I want to apply. The school is too far away from home."

I don't know where this sentence stimulated Li Jieying, she suddenly asked with red eyes:

"Are you going to run away from home?"

"No, just living in school for a month or two..."

"No! What's wrong with living at home? Is there anything dissatisfied at home?"

"No, it's just that the school is a little too far from home."

"What's the distance? Hasn't it been like this for the past few years? And you are under a lot of pressure at the end of the semester. I don't trust you to eat the food from the school cafeteria. I can make it for you."

"Live at home, just live at home, why live at school."

Ji Yusheng wanted to say something else, but after Li Jieying helped him make a decision, he stopped looking at him, sat down and continued watching TV, and even turned the volume of the TV extremely loud, as if warning Ji Yusheng not to speak again.Ji Yusheng was silent and planned to go back to the room, but after he took the first step, Li Jieying suddenly stopped him again.

"Wait, who is that person?" Li Jieying asked coldly.

"What?" Ji Yusheng stopped in his tracks.

"Who is downstairs with you?"

Ji Yusheng just wanted to introduce Song Shihe to his mother, but he thought that Song Shihe, from an art connoisseur to a poet, seemed to be full of things his mother resisted, so he could only say:

"a friend."

"What kind of friend? It's not a friend who is doing some art, is it?"

"Why do those who study art become friends?"

"Why are all those who study economics good friends, and those who study art are good friends?" Unable to bear his mother's slander of his favorite things and people in the same way, Ji Yusheng couldn't help retorting.

Hearing this sentence, Li Jieying exploded like a firecracker being lit.she said aloud:

"Your classmates who study economics will be rich businessmen in the future! Boss! No matter how bad they are, they will be employees of a large company with a serious job, and they will come and go in the upper class! They can not only become your contacts, but also help you, why not Are you a good friend? How can you not be a good friend? What about those who can read art? Those who read art come out and eat the last meal every day without a second meal. They are still doing nothing at the age of nearly thirty, and they still encourage their friends to do this with them. Like your father's old bastard friend, what is this if it's not a friend? Ah? You tell me it's not a friend? "

"Mom, do you have to be so prejudiced against what Dad and I like?"

Since my father left, my mother has been a different person, crazy, irritable, self-centered, and always unhappy.Instead of healing her wounds, time kept tearing open her wounds, making her more extreme year after year.

"What do you like? What do you like? Can you eat it? Huh?"

"If you like it, you can stick to it. If you like it, you have the confidence to do it well."

"That sounds good! Think about it, can you really do it? Huh? Do you think the whole world is Van Gogh? And even many famous artists painted with illnesses while they were alive, and got rich only after they died. Then what are you going to do? Tell your mother that I will drink northwest wind in the future?"

"He's not an art student, he's just a friend." Ji Yusheng finally said weakly.

"Okay, you go back to your room to review, isn't your economics department about to take an exam?" Li Jieying continued to watch TV after finishing speaking. Ji Yusheng knew that his mother would not listen to anything he said, so he could only drag his backpack back to the room. Room.

It has been so many years, from showing him the news that art students will be unemployed after graduation every day to now pointing at him and yelling at him, isn't he used to this for a long time, why is he still disappointed?

After returning to the room, Ji Yusheng put down the heavy backpack and lay powerlessly on the table. He gently stroked the photo frame on the table with his hand,

"I miss you so much, I want to talk to you so much, there are many things I want to tell you."

After he finished speaking, he buried his head in his arms, and when he closed his eyes, what emerged was the scene of being in the study with his father when he was a child.

"Shengsheng, let's see what Dad brought you from the bookstore?" The man who slowly began to show wrinkles as he got older asked with a smile and mysteriously.

Looking at his father holding a heavy book in his hand behind his waist, Ji Yusheng asked:

"A book about the history of art?"

The man smiled and took the book in his hand to Ji Yusheng. Ji Yusheng looked at it and immediately jumped up happily. He waved his hands happily and shouted:

"It's the story of art!"

"Haha, are you happy?" the man asked with a smile while handing the book to Ji Yusheng.

"Happy! Thank you Dad!"

A woman's sharp voice suddenly came from the TV outside the door, pulling Ji Yusheng back to reality.

Ji Yusheng's eyes were flushed, he held back his tears and murmured:

"Why doesn't she want to listen to me...why doesn't she want to understand me a little..."
