Warm and respectful people

There was a strong wind on the way back, Xia Wen leaned his head against the window of the car, and the neon lights in the city center shone brightly.

Her black hair was messed up by the wind, and in the exchange of light and shadow, she remembered the winter when she ran to Beicheng to look for Shen Xueyu a long time ago.

Wrapped in a thick down jacket and running in a strange city, the anxiety and anticipation before seeing someone, the disappointment and despair after seeing someone, all emotions seem to remain in her body, and she tilted her head in the same way on the way home. on the window glass.

The memories of being with Shen Xueyu flashed through his mind in a chaotic manner.

Later, Xia Wen thought of this incident countless times. She couldn't let go of Shen Xueyu because she felt sorry for herself who was alone and helpless at that time.

The memory keeps filtering, and in Xia Wen's mind, in the past about the two people, she always buried her head from crying and her eyes were red from crying, and she didn't want to be seen by the other party, while Shen Xueyu was always indifferent.

Maybe cutting off all the ambiguous connections in the past and becoming simple friends is the best relationship between two people.

-

The next day, Shen Xueyu went to work on time, and was even the first person to arrive in the laboratory.

When a few students came in yawning and biting their breakfast, Shen Xueyu had already taken yesterday's samples for testing, and the few people who had been leisurely wiped their mouths clean immediately and went to work.

People who have been in the laboratory for a long time have lost the most basic judgment of time.

It's past lunch time after a simple experiment is done.

Lin Qi walked up to Jiang Chuan and pushed his arm: "Did the teacher cough a few times just now?"

"Hmm. Pretty obvious."

"Still working so hard when you're sick? It's all over, it seems like you don't have any intention of going to dinner yet."

"You don't know how she lived in the United States. It was almost impossible for her to eat on time. For some instruments, several people in the laboratory made an appointment. I didn't make sure this time. I don't know when it will be my turn next time." Already." Jiang Chuan said.

Shen Xueyu didn't feel stomach cramps until after recording the data. The pain came too suddenly, and a retch surged up in her chest. The dizziness made her unable to support her body. She reluctantly walked to the balcony next to her. .

Pull the glass door shut.

She raised her hand and glanced at the time, hurry up, she is the only one in the experiment.

Arched, she tightly held the iron railing on one side with one hand, and the sudden discomfort in her body slowly receded like a tide.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly recovered, her mouth filled with an astringent taste.

Shen Xueyu took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. When the smoke cleared, her mind returned to calm.

Outside the balcony are tall and dense bushes, and the sun shines on the golden leaves.

Shen Xueyu put out the cigarette butt, unbuttoned the first button on the collar of her shirt, and loosened her clothes. The heat on her body had not completely subsided, and she felt out of breath.

With her head down, she unconsciously gave a wry smile, remembering Xia Wen's words last night.

"You are my girlfriend's sister and my friend."

friend?

Shen Xueyu remembered that Xia Wen was very persistent in wanting to be with him before, and he told her sincerely that he could always be her sister, just like Shen An'an.

She couldn't understand Xia Wen's insistence at that time.

But now, she knows that Xia Wen's difficulty is not easy. A young girl should suffer even more than her current self.

-

Xia Wen's project of accompanying Shen Xueyu to visit was temporarily put on hold.

He Wen answered a phone call, and when she came back, she called Xia Wen to a small conference room on the side. She stood by the round table and stared at Xia Wen.

"You...you didn't mess things up for me, did you?"

The other party's gaze was too sharp, and Xia Wen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he angered Shen Xueyu somewhere, because of the words he said when he left?

Is Shen Xueyu such a stingy person?

"What did she say?" Xia Wen asked.

He Wen shook her head: "Mr. Shen said that she is satisfied with our plan, but there are a lot of school things recently, so the activities will be postponed."

Xia Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

After this place was vacated, He Wen temporarily added another job to Xia Wen, which was to go to Haicheng to participate in the "Museum Week" event. This event is held once a year, and more than a dozen museums across the country are invited , the invited units need to send a representative in the past.

"I remember your resume stated that you had an internship there for a period of time, and you can take a trip at public expense."

In fact, Xia Wen doesn't like business trips very much, and when he wanted to mediate, He Wen stopped him.

"Look at the other people in our office. They are all family members. You are the only one who is single. You are the most suitable one. Young people should exercise more."

Xia Wen: "..." You said everything.

The night before departure, while Xia Wen was packing her luggage, she was sitting on the small sofa and swiping her phone, and saw the news that the editor of the publishing house had sent out tickets for Lin Weiwei's art exhibition for free.

Compared with Nancheng, Haicheng has a stronger literary and artistic atmosphere. Lin Weiwei's first stop of the Chinese painting exhibition just returned this year was set in Haicheng.

Xia Wen paid attention to it when the ticket was billed, but she gave up considering the distance. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the time happened to be right, so she left a message to the editor.

The late-night editor sent her the electronic ticket.

-

After more than two hours of high-speed rail, Xia Wen arrived in Haicheng.

Carrying a brown luggage bag, she followed the flow of people to the underground bus stop, and the taxi climbed up to the ground. When she came out, she faced the continuous autumn rain.

It slammed on the car window.I remember that autumn in Lehai City is rainy.

The air was filled with damp water vapor, the taxi drove directly to the entrance of the hotel lobby, and when she closed the trunk door, she saw Lin Yunshen standing by the door waiting for her.

The white knitted sweater and the blue fish tail make her gentle and moving.

Lin Yunshen reached out to get her bag, but Xia Wen avoided it.

"Sister Yunshen, you are too polite. You have arranged for me my accommodation here, and I haven't had time to thank you yet."

"It's all reimbursed by your unit. I'm just helping to make a reservation. Simply provide some manpower."

Xia Wen smiled at her: "This has helped me a lot, you know I'm the last one to know these things."

The two walked into the hotel room talking and laughing.

Open the door and you will find a spacious and tidy living room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the most prosperous scenery in the city. Lin Yunshen put Xia Wen's luggage on the sofa.

"I live next door to you."

Xia Wen went to the bathroom to wash his hands, took off his coat, turned around, walked to the sofa and sat down: "During the last chat, you said that you plan to return to China in the second half of this year?"

Lin Yunshen nodded: "There are some intentions, but they haven't been finalized yet."

Xia Wen knew that when Lin Yunshen returned to China this time, he was invited to participate in this "Museum Week" event nominally as an overseas scholar, but in fact he was in contact with personnel from several domestic museums to choose his final destination.

Mineral water was prepared in the room, Xia Wen unscrewed a bottle, poured it into a glass, and handed the glass to Lin Yunshen.

The afternoon was originally the time when the sun was at its best, but the sky in the rainy Haicheng was dark at the moment, and black clouds were surging in the sky.

The two leaned on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Xia Wen glanced at Lin Yunshen and said, "The personnel department of our Nancheng Museum will come over in a few days. Do you want to chat with them? They must be very happy to recruit you."

After saying the words, both of them were quiet for a while.

They knew well that Xu Fengmian was in Nancheng, and they would definitely meet him when they went back.

Of course Xia Wen has a better relationship with Xu Fengmian.A little bit more contact with Lin Yunshen was after graduate school. The two people's majors overlapped a lot, and they exchanged information, and because they were alumni, they naturally became acquainted.

But she never dared to tell Xu Fengmian that she knew about Lin Yunshen's movements.It's not because I don't want to help Xu Fengmian, it's just that I don't want to see her sinking step by step.

Xia Wen held the water glass in his hand.Xu Fengmian's appearance of not being able to love is very much like his former self.

Lin Yunshen put the water glass aside: "Qinghe Art Museum has contacted me several times, and this time they invited me back."

Qinghe Art Museum is one of the most well-known art museums in Haicheng. It ranks high in the world and has many subordinate units. It is also the organizer of this event. It is the place where Xia Wen practiced. Anyone who works with art is eager to come and work here.

It has to be said that this choice is better than Nancheng Museum. If there is no consideration of personal factors, no one should refuse Qinghe's invitation.

As a bystander, Xia Wen could only congratulate: "This is a good place, and it is more worthy of you."

-

In the evening, after eating at the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, the two went to Lin Weiwei's art exhibition together, which was in the tall building next to the hotel.

People rushed over from different directions one after another at the entrance of the art museum. Xia Wenwen and Lin Yunshen held up the big umbrella borrowed from the hotel, and the rain fell on the blue umbrella cloth like exploded flowers.There were security guards in black suits at the door, and the two showed their tickets.

All around are the sound of high heels and leather shoes stepping on the dark red carpet.

After entering the door, there is a place to put umbrellas by the door, and there are large strings of water droplets rolling on the rows of dark umbrellas.

Today is the first day, and there are especially many people coming.It was dark in the art gallery, only the paintings hanging on the walls were illuminated, and most people were talking in low voices.

Xia Wen turned his head and approached Lin Yunshen beside him: "I heard that Lin Weiwei will be present today."

Lin Yunshen nodded: "Yes. We confirmed it here, and I will be there. I heard that she intends to stay in China for a long time in the future."

Xia Wen nodded.Lin Weiwei became famous in her teens, and was later admitted by a well-known foreign college, but because she didn't adapt to the school's teaching methods, she resolutely chose to give up her studies. This was not a small news in the art circle at the time, but for such a genius , deviant behavior is just a bonus item.The later art path was also smooth sailing.

"The domestic art industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and it is a good choice to come back." Xia Wen said.

The two continued to walk inside.Soon there was a lot of movement from the door, and exclamations came and went.

It was Lin Weiwei who came.

Lin Yunshen and Xia Wen stepped aside.Supported by everyone, Lin Weiwei walked over under the constantly flickering spotlights.

Lin Weiwei is also famous for being a beauty, in her early 30s, with a sexy and charming appearance, which fits most people's fantasies about female artists.

Xia Wen was just a fan of Lin Weiwei's works, and he wasn't very interested in himself, so the two stood at the corner of the outermost circle.

Lin Yunshen looked at Lin Weiwei who was in the center, and said, "She is a very smart person."

Xia Wen was puzzled.

"She can maximize her commercial value, and every step is safe and smooth."

Xia Wen heard some regret from her tone: "Is this not good?"

Lin Yunshen shook his head: "This is very good. But her cleverness makes her paintings only reach the current level, and she is not a pure artist after all."

Lin Weiwei came and went quickly. After she left, there were a lot fewer people in the art gallery.

The two of them continued to walk around and have a look. The paintings in this exhibition are relatively complete.The further you go in, the closer the painting is.

Lin Yunshen walked faster than Xia Wen.

She stopped in front of the nearest painting, pointed to it, and asked Xia Wen, "Do you think the woman in this painting looks familiar?"

Different from Lin Weiwei's late abstract style, this figure painting is very realistic, as if it is a figure in life.

The female with black hair in a simple white shirt was coiled behind her head, a few messy strands of hair were hanging down, her eyes were cold and sharp, she was standing by the window with a cigarette in her hand.She is a beautiful woman on the outside, but her temperament is not as gentle as a woman's. She feels calm and rational.

This person is indeed someone she and Lin Yunshen are familiar with.

She looks very much like Shen Xueyu.

-

For the next two days, both of them circled around the venue, rushing to different groups.After the meeting, they have to participate in dinner parties of different units.

In name, it is about exchanging problems and communicating feelings, but in fact it is a group of people pushing cups and changing cups.

On the evening of the third day, after Xiawen's meeting, he went back to his room and changed out of his suit jacket. He wore a white close-fitting dress and waited for Lin Yunshen in the lobby with Mary Jane high heels on.

While waiting, she almost fell asleep in the hall.

When Lin Yunshen got out of the elevator with a handbag, he saw the drowsy Xia Wen.

She touched Xia Wen's head: "What time is it, are you sleepy?"

Xia Wen opened her dazed eyes, and the contact lenses in her eyes felt a little uncomfortable. She rubbed them a few times: "Can I not be sleepy when I wake up so early every day?"

"Is it early?" Lin Yunshen, who was used to high-intensity work, asked.

Xia Wen's long hair has a natural and loose arc from the end to the end, and she swayed to her chest with the movement of her body. She smiled: "This shows that our unit is good, and the quality of life is still very high, really. Don't think about it?"

Lin Yunshen nodded her head: "Let's go quickly. There's nothing you can do if you don't want to, just bear with it."

This time, the gathering place is set at a Japanese restaurant not far away, which is said to be a must-go restaurant for every event.

The location of the Japanese food store is not easy to find, but when you walk in, you will find it is a good place to find a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.Two people took off their shoes under the instructions of the waiter.

The wooden floors are thick and clean.Pushing open the sliding door, several rooms opened up, and there was a long table on both sides of their participants this time.The dinner party has already begun, and some people's faces are turning red.

Xia Wen followed Lin Yunshen to find two empty seats and sat down next to each other.

The waiter knelt down and filled them with sake, and then was forced to drink it down under the booing of the people around him.

Many people here were contacted by Lin Yunshen at the beginning, so she had more acquaintances, and soon she was surrounded by a group of people. Xia Wen knew that she was not strong enough to drink, so she tried her best to hide herself.

She silently ate the boiling sukiyaki in front of her in the crowd, and scalded a few slices of meat and vegetables to ease the burning alcohol in her stomach.

Just after eating for a while, there was a piece of salmon dipped in sauce and mustard on the plate in front of her.

“The salmon here is pretty fresh.”

Xia Wen looked up, and the person who was speaking was the short-haired woman opposite. The black suspender dress revealed her perfect body curve, her lips were red and full, and she was looking at herself with one hand on her chin.

She pursed her lips and said thank you after a moment.But he didn't touch the piece of salmon.

Because she doesn't like to eat raw things, and because she can probably sense the other party's intentions.

In their circle, there are many people who, like He Wen and the others, regard this profession as a job with stable benefits and good benefits. The other kind of people like to mix in the art circle, see more and know more, and understand pleasure early Doctrine, especially emotionally open.

It's not uncommon to like people of the same sex, or even bisexual people.

Xia Wen usually stays far away from this kind of person, she can't afford to play with it herself.

Some people proposed to go back when the dinner was over nine o'clock in the evening. Several days of meetings made some people feel tired, and they had to get up early tomorrow.

A group of people went out from the not-so-spacious Japanese food room, which seemed very crowded and noisy.

The noise continued all the way to the side of the road.This is the city center, this point is a place with a lot of people, the car is not easy to call, everyone is waiting.

The short-haired girl drove her own car up from the underground garage, parked next to Xia Wen, honked the horn, and poked her head out: "I'll take you back."

Several people around him made a lot of booing noises.

Xia Wen was a little embarrassed, and pulled his lips stiffly: "No need, you should take those drunk people."

The other party shook his head: "It's not convenient to take a taxi, come up." The will is very firm.

Xia Wen pulled Lin Yunshen back a step: "It's not very far, we can walk back."

"Do you think your friend is still suitable for walking back?"

Lin Yunshen next to him drank a little too much, and his mind was a little confused at the moment, Xia Wen held her in his arms, who was crumbling.

The current situation is indeed a bit of a dilemma, but Xia Wen doesn't like being forced by others. In the end, she just ignored that person and helped Lin Yunshen to stand a little away from the crowd.

The short-haired girl raised her lips and smiled, this little setback did not dampen her interest.

She parked the car aside, opened the door and got out of the car.

-

Haicheng, which had been raining for several days, finally stopped raining.The water stains on the road at night have not completely dried up, the sky is dark and foggy.

Shen Xueyu took off her glasses while sitting on the back seat of the special car, and rubbed her swollen temples.

A few days ago, she received an invitation from the Physics Department of Haicheng University to give a lecture to graduate students. The fatigue on the road and the two-hour lecture made her even more exhausted.

The hotel is located in the city center, the road is very congested, the driver stops and goes.

With a sudden brake, Shen Xueyu woke up and opened her eyes.

The driver quickly apologized, but Shen Xueyu's eyes fell on the roadside not far away.

Her brows were tightly furrowed, Xia Wen, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, was flirting with a strange woman by the side of the road.

And she seems to be holding one in her arms?
