After answering the call, Lu Wanxing tried to fall asleep again, lay back on the bed, but was still awake half an hour later.

Regardless of the reason that the more he looked at his phone, the more energetic he would be, he browsed through the endless circle of friends.

A more exciting life will always belong to others. Some people raise dogs, some grow flowers, some cook, some go skiing, and some show babies.

Lu Wanxing thought of Shen Hewei he met during the day, and habitually clicked on Shen Hewei's profile picture, and then opened Moments.

The permissions he opened are all visible, and there are gaps in time. A few years ago, he only forwarded a few industry news, and there was no news for a long time in between. Since more than a year ago, life-oriented content suddenly appeared.

There is a good-looking filet mignon, Lulu commented on a drooling expression, a car butt, with the text "I was rear-ended", Shen Hedong commented "Do you want an insurance phone?", Shen Wenhua commented "It's okay son", Shen Hewei replied "Sitting across from me, you can ask directly." Shen Wenhua replied with a sweaty expression, "I see that you have too few comments!"

Once, he posted four illustrations. Lu Wanxing's circle of friends added many peers, so he didn't look carefully, thinking it was a classmate or teacher, so he liked it.

It took 2 minutes to realize that "ex-husband" was a remark he made to Shen Hewei after he failed to ask for a divorce but Shen Hewei had a psychotic attack, not a spoof WeChat name of a classmate from the art department.

Lu Wanxing was so frightened that he went back and frantically clicked to cancel, but Shen Hewei immediately sent him a question mark on WeChat.

Lu Wanxing: [Hand sliding]

Shen Hewei: [Like or cancel hand skating? 】

Lu Wanxing was left speechless for a while by his question. He felt that he was a big boss who paid attention to the comments and likes of Moments all day.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Shen Hewei asked him again if he had received his birthday gift.

Lu Wanxing's birthday was right next to the Ching Ming Festival, and he was never in a good mood. The two birthdays around Shen Hewei were just a simple meal.

In the end, his reply to Shen Hewei was only the sentence "slip".

I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I opened Shen Hewei's circle of friends, only to find that he had sent a new message the day before yesterday, which was about a plane ticket to Dianyi Island.

Lu Wanxing and Shen Hewei's mutual friends, only a few members of the Shen family, have already passed the novel stage of starting to post to Shen Hewei's Moments, and because what he posts is really meaningless, what Lu Wanxing sees is often An interface with zero likes and zero replies.

Lu Wanxing turned off the picture, and then turned off the screen. This time, he fell asleep quickly, and when he woke up again, it was the assistant calling the phone in the room to wake him up.

There is no rush for this trip, there is nothing Lu Wanxing has to do all morning, and he will be needed only in the evening.

Lu Wanxing woke up slowly, had breakfast, and read the news from Shen and Wei on WeChat, saying that he still had work to do and had to leave first. After reading it, he checked the weather in the city where Shen and Wei were on business trip.

He has always had the habit of reporting to Lu Wanxing. In the wechat chat dialog box between the two, his itinerary is mostly, and the frequency of business trips is very high. He did not return to Haicheng during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Wanxing bought a cup of freshly squeezed mango juice, put on a huge sun hat, and wandered around the island.

It was windy last night, but today's daytime weather is fine. As long as the body is not exposed to the sun directly, the temperature is not too high.

He didn't return to the team at all for lunch, and found a small shop that seemed to be doing well. Finally, on the way back to the hotel, he bought a big coconut that was said to be good for the skin.

The manager Qiao Qing was waiting for him in the living room of the suite. When he saw him enter, he got up habitually, took the coconut from his hand, and helped him hang up the astonishingly large sun hat.

"Is there no one on the road who has a problem with your hat?" Qiao Qing said disgustedly, "Wearing it not only shades the sun, but also can kill people? I count how many eyeballs I harvested today, one, two, three... ouch, Quite a lot."

Lu Wanxing said: "Yesterday, because you said you couldn't get it out of the box, I got tanned. This face is not yours, so don't worry about it, right?"

Qiao Qing couldn't stand his smugness the most, and said, "I'll send you back to school after the end tomorrow. I'm out of sight and out of mind."

Lu Wanxing just wanted to return to his heart: "I'm not happy to miss class yet."

He used the place of visiting scholar of the publishing house, and after going to the public academy of fine arts, the attendance rate of the lectures was almost higher than that of the students in the school.

Qiao Qing said: "The Academy of Fine Arts should really charge you tuition, Lu Wanxing, charge twice."

Lu Wanxing said: "Take it, take it, take it ten times, one hundred times, and see what I will pay you when the time comes."

Qiao Qing felt that he was really naive, and he had no motivation to continue bickering, explaining why he came: "Yesterday we met the buyer named Shen, you remember, he seems to be really persistent and sincere, what do you think?"

Lu Wanxing sat upright, clasped his hands on his lap, and asked, "What do you think?"

Qiao Qing said: "I didn't say that we were determined not to sell it. You agreed with our previous plan. We didn't ask for quick money, but..."

"But." Lu Wanxing said, "His bid is high?"

Qiao Qing had an expression of reluctance to admit it, but still nodded: "Very high."

"How tall is it?"

Qiao Qing said a number.

Lu Wanxing was not too surprised: "I just haven't sold it at that price so far, and it's not too outrageous."

He also said: "However, you can handle these things as you see fit. Anyway, for fame and fortune, there are plans, and the order is not that important."

After hearing this, Qiao Qing smiled and looked at Lu Wanxing.

"What's wrong?" Lu Wanxing asked vigilantly, "It's creepy."

Qiao Qing said: "Then I'll figure it out, let's continue with the beauty treatment."

When Qiao Qing told the assistant to cooperate with the organizer in shipping Lu Wanxing's exhibits, the assistant asked, "It's decided, don't you want to sell it?"

Qiao Qing said: "Not for sale. Wait a little longer."

The assistant thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ding is really stable."

Qiao Qing also smiled comfortably.

He has seen many fledgling painters, most of them lose in talent, and the ceiling itself is low.

Most of the remaining small part lost in the "waiting" stage again.

Wait for the right time, meet the right buyer, raise the right value, and get the right recognition.

The waiting time is uncertain, and whether there will be any results is even more uncertain. The most likely thing is to wait and wait, and the existing popularity will be lost.

For buyers like Shen Hewei, the fear is that if they miss it once, they will never have it again.

It is very common for agents and painters to part ways because of such things. Qiao Qing has been in this industry for a long time and has heard many similar stories.

Because there are many people in the hands of the brokers, there are more flowing works, and the economic impact on them is nothing if not counting the removal and retention of a few works that are on the right track.

But for the painter himself, it is equivalent to a high-value order, which slipped away in vain because of the agent's high ambitions.

Coupled with the fear that will never be there again, this "waiting" stage is extremely excruciating, and the benefit that cannot be obtained is a hundred times stronger than the torment of not being able to sell a painting.

Lu Wanxing has not been in this industry for a long time. He has seen money and likes money, but he doesn't love money that much.

It is said that literati are less important, and the art industry is similar. Lu Wanxing has a gentle personality, but also has a sense of arrogance. He never doubts his own value. Qiao Qing feels that this is another big guarantee for his success.

After leaving Dianyi Island, Shen and Wei took off at the nearest airport, waited at the transit airport for another five hours, and arrived at the city where they were on a business trip. It happened to be the morning of a new day.

He has arranged too many jobs for himself, and rest is the last thing to consider. Before that, he has to hold meetings and meet people non-stop.

Back in Haicheng, there is no shortage of work to do.

There is a small business that needs a private seal, and it was not used often before. Shen Hewei thought about it, and it should be in his bedroom at his grandfather's house. After working overtime that night, he went back to get it.

Not long after entering, the servant knocked on the door, and Shen Zhaoling told him to go to the room.

Shen He opened the door slightly, and first asked Shen Zhaoling why he was still up.

Shen Zhaoling said: "You are a very busy person, and there are not many opportunities to see each other."

Shen Hewei said: "You don't have to come up to be sarcastic."

Shen Zhaoling glared at him and told him to be serious.

Shen Hewei put on a serious expression, then smiled again, and said, "What's the matter with you, I'm still in a hurry to leave."

Shen Zhaoling said, "I'll ask you two questions."

Shen He smiled again and said, "You ask."

Shen Zhaoling raised his eyelids and looked at him. After a long while, he asked if there was any drama with Lu Wanxing, and if he had a plan in mind. Moreover, if Lu Wanxing never came back, he was going to wait until sometime.

Shen Hewei first said "no", and then said "don't know".

"You didn't tell us anything, but it seems that there has been no movement for such a long time. The most basic thing is, do you know if there is anyone else around?"

Shen He stopped smiling, Shen Zhaoling looked at him like that, sighed, and said, "I'll close my eyes one day earlier, so I can save my worries."

"This matter has nothing to do with you." Shen He said slightly, "You enjoy your leisure, and I will do my business without delaying anything."

"You were your father and gave birth to you just to let you do business for us?"

Shen Zhaoling said: "Do you really know what you've been like during this time? Since people really don't want to be with you, you can only hurt our hearts and your father's."

"My dad's life is quite colorful, you should worry about yourself."

Shen He leaned slightly against the door frame. He was so tall that he almost bumped into his head, and he was not in a serious conversation manner at all.

Shen Hewei told him to go to bed early, and went downstairs step by step.

He originally came back to get the seal, but when he left Shen Zhaoling's room, he forgot to take something, and he didn't leave immediately.

There was no one in the side hall on the first floor, so he picked up a chair, sat down with his legs open, and leaned on his shoulders.

Just now Shen Zhaoling asked if there was anyone around Lu Wanxing.

Lu Wanxing was still receiving his itinerary reports normally, and he hadn't deleted his WeChat a hundred times, nor had a letter from a lawyer suing for divorce been sent to his door, so Shen and Wei knew there was none.

But when Shen Zhaoling asked, he suddenly didn't dare to speak for sure.

How to be sure?

At that time, when he had sex with Lu Wanxing, he could tell himself that he was not in a relationship with Lu Wanxing. Now, after all, Lu Wanxing just kept him in the friend list. What kind of relationship can he maintain? Guarantee?

On Dianyi Island, he also saw that Lu Wanxing lived a life of hugging each other.

People say that Lu Wanxing has left his mark, his career is going well, he looks upright, and he claims to have broken up with him. Who would say that Lu Wanxing shouldn't consider finding a new Alpha?

What Lu Wanxing wants is respect, he should give it, and he really wants to give it.Before, they just took a look from afar, and Lu Wanxing didn't even know that he had been to the same occasion before.

He silently watched Lu Wanxing after he left him. One day, he realized that Lu Wanxing was exactly the same as now when Linshi was first together.

Innocent and brave, full of blood, and full of vitality.

What he fell in love with at that time but vehemently denied it was exactly the same Lu Wanxing as what he showed after leaving him now.

The period of depression and depression between Lu Wanxing all came from their failed love affair.

Shen Hewei truly realized his own stupidity.

However, for Lu Wanxing, his respect is to stay away, and this has become the biggest source of pain for Shen Hewei.

This time, it wasn't just the doctor's warning, even he himself felt that he was losing control.

Even if they can only say a word, with this in mind, Shen and Weifei went to Dianyi Island.

In the cabin of the ferry, looking at it from a distance, he had to clench his fists to restrain his urge to go to Lu Wanxing's side.

In the banquet hall, Shen Hewei posted a pheromone isolation sticker and made psychological preparations for a long time in advance, telling himself that Lu Wanxing would not like Shen Hewei who was out of control, so he lost his mind and followed Lu Wanxing out.

As they walked further and further away on the beach, many dirty thoughts flashed through Shen Hewei's head.

If Lu Wanxing hadn't stopped and looked back at him, Shen Hewei didn't dare to think about what crazy things he would do.

He can only keep himself busy, like a top, never stopping, so that whenever he has free time, he will not want those eyes, that lips, that voice, that person like crazy.

Shen Wenhua and his friends got together very late, right next to Shen's house, and in order to have an early rest, they returned here nearby.

When he entered the door, the moon was already in the sky, and there were only sparse cicadas singing in the courtyard.

Turning on the light, bags and a few shopping bags were piled up at his feet, Shen Wenhua got up after changing his shoes, and was startled by the solid figure in the corner.

But Shen Hewei just got up with his usual expression, his expression unchanged, as if it was normal for him to sit there facing the window in the middle of the night.

When passing by Shen Wenhua, he also said "Let's go first".

When he was young, Shen Wenhua heard the sound of an engine starting from the courtyard.

Shen Wenhua hadn't seen him for a while. Two months ago, he took two consultants to see the art exhibition. He saw Lu Wanxing from a distance and was about to go up to talk when he saw Shen Hewei again.

But Shen Hewei didn't talk to Lu Wanxing, and Shen Wenhua even wondered if Lu Wanxing saw Shen Hewei.

Soon someone came to take Lu Wanxing away, but Shen and Wei still stood where they were, and it didn't look like they came for the exhibition.

Shen Wenhua felt that in that situation, he had nothing to say, so he left silently.

Previously, Shen Wenhua had no intention of seriously thinking about how many one-sided encounters Shen and Wei had made, but tonight there was no one around, and the image of him sitting by the window stayed in Shen Wenhua's mind for a long time.

He has suffered from insomnia for a long time, because of Shen Hewei's depression, frustration, and loneliness that he has never shown in front of outsiders.

Thinking about it now, although Shen Wenhua didn't think their relationship was good at the time, the year of their wedding with Lu Wanxing was indeed the period when Shen Hewei showed the most vitality.

Even though he deliberately pretended to be indifferent and indifferent, his gaze was indeed fixed on Lu Wanxing forever, and when Lu Wanxing held his hand, he would pause unnaturally.Cooperating with Lu Wanxing to participate in family dinners, there are mood changes of joy and resentment.

However, with Lu Wanxing's departure, that Shen Hewei also disappeared.
