Altar of Infinity

The young man was in his early twenties, wearing a casual suit, and the young man seemed not used to this kind of clothing, or was annoyed by the interpersonal communication at the reception, and there was a hint of impatience in his light-colored eyes.

But it is this impatience that makes the youth's beautiful and aggressive facial features come alive.

The young man was taken aback when he saw him, then nodded politely.

The sense of familiarity rolled up more violently from the depths of my mind, as if the life that had been sleeping for a long time was about to break out of the ground.

But the moment the two words were about to reach the lips and teeth, they were strangled by the throat out of thin air and wiped out invisibly.

What two words are they?

Unfamiliar emotions hit Xie Ji like sea water, but his face remained calm, and he nodded politely at the young man, and the two passed each other.

"Thank you, long time see..."

In the business field, he planned to thank the post, he turned around, and returned to the impeccable Mr. Xie.

"President Wang, see you soon."

·

Halfway through the reception, Xie Quan was already full, so Xie Ji didn't stay any longer and took Xie Quan home.

It's too late today, and tomorrow is the weekend again, Xie Ji asked Xie Quan to sleep in the bedroom at home, and let people go back to school after dawn.

Because he had said hello, "Ask the Mountain and Sea" had been delivered, and the staff waited in front of the community with a well-packed box, and he took the painting home.

Xie Ji took a shower first, changed into loose and comfortable home clothes, and then opened "Ask the Mountain and Sea".

The painter is a good painter, but when the painting is in front of his eyes, he can more clearly experience the loneliness that is full of emptiness and distance from the painting.

A good painter can express his heart through painting. As the most favored grandson of the ancient family and the only son of the family, Jiang Jichu became famous at a young age. An illusion that everything in the world can't stay.

Nothing will change.

There is nothing to hold in your hands.

Xie Ji belatedly took out his phone and searched for Jiang Jichu's photos.

Jiang Jichu is a well-known figure in the Fine Arts Department of Z University, and has won some awards at home and abroad. Xie Ji didn't take much effort to find a photo of Jiang Jichu holding the trophy.

The young man who was in a hurry at the dinner looked at him through the screen of his mobile phone.

With just one glance, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the clouds and rain begin to clear.

It really was that young man.

Xie Ji looked at the phone silently, and suddenly noticed a subtle discrepancy from the photo.

He took out the tablet and searched for Jiang Jichu's other paintings, and the feeling of disobedience continued to increase.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Xie Quan was wiping his hair after taking a shower, and went to the refrigerator in the living room to find a drink.

Xie Ji waved to Xie Quan: "At the dinner party, I saw Jiang Jichu."

Xie Quan: "Eh? Did the senior go to the dinner too, why didn't you ask me to say hello?"

"It's just a hasty side." Xie Ji: "What kind of person is Jiang Jichu?"

Xie Quan was confused for a while, and then said: "He is a very good person. He is the best in his studies all the year round. He is good-looking. He is the grassroots of our school. Although he is not very talkative and looks a little cold, he is kind. , enthusiastic and loving.”

Yes.

As Xie Quan said, Jiang Jichu just seemed a little cold, it is common for geniuses to be unsociable, but the family environment, talent, and appearance made Jiang Jichu live in all kinds of love since he was a child, so he became kind, enthusiastic, and caring .

Xie Ji moved his gaze to the photo displayed on the phone screen.

He has been in the mall for many years, and he thinks he is good at seeing people. Whether it is from the photos or the hasty side at night, Jiang Jichu gives him the same feeling as Xie Quan said.

He had just looked through Jiang Jichu's other paintings, and his personality was very consistent with Jiang Jichu's.

Then why did Jiang Jichu draw "Ask Mountains and Seas" which is completely different from his personality and artistic conception?

Xie Quan had a slightly weird expression on his face.

"Ask the Mountain and the Sea", which was bought for significantly more than the value of the painting, was lying on the table, the photo of his senior was on the phone, and the past paintings of the senior were on the tablet.

What is his brother doing...

Xie Quan tentatively said: "Brother... You won't fall in love at first sight, you've fallen in love with the senior, right?"

After he finished speaking, he took a few steps back, waiting for Xie to send out the threat of an out-of-print figure.

But he waited for a long time and didn't get it, and was shocked for a moment, his brother didn't threaten him!Could it be!

Just when he opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to ask carefully, Xie Ji turned around leisurely, showing that familiar look, and looked down at him condescendingly: "There are no more pillows left."

Xie Quan: "!!!"

Xie Quan was sent away, and only Xie Ji was left in the living room.

He stood in front of the table with his arms folded, thinking about where the painting should hang.

There are also other decorative paintings hanging in the house, but none of them are in the ink style of "Ask the Mountain and the Sea", so it is not suitable to hang them anywhere.

Xie Ji pondered for a while, and it was time to sleep.

When he returned to the bedroom and saw the empty walls, he was suddenly blessed.

"Ask the Mountain and the Sea" should be hung by the bedside.

·

Didn't "Questioning Mountains and Seas" hang on Xie Ji's bed? Firstly, he had to smash nails into the wall, which was inappropriate in the middle of the night. Second, when he woke up the next day, Xie Ji himself felt that the idea that came up last night was strange.

Such a painting, why hang it on the bedside?

It can be seen that people tend to be emotional at night and cannot make decisions easily.

Xie Quan has been saying that he misses the desserts he made during this time. Xie Ji bought some fresh strawberries while running downstairs in the morning, and planned to make pancakes for Xie Quan.

No matter how big the business is, it is enough to call the wind and rain outside, and when he comes home, he is still the elder brother who dotes on his younger brother.

Considering that he was going to cook desserts, he also bought breakfast.

Xie Quan's schedule favored young people, and after he had finished his breakfast, he went to the kitchen to finish the cooking, and Xie Quan rubbed his eyes to get up.

Xie Ji: "Breakfast is in a thermos, and I made a class halberd. You can take it to school."

Xie Quan said happily: "Thank you brother! My brother is the best in the world!"

Xie Ji's original intention was to let Xie Quan eat breakfast and eat the panji as a snack.

He had already had his breakfast and was busy with work for a while. Now that he had some stomach to spare, he took out a pan halberd from the refrigerator to accompany Xie Quan to have breakfast.

Xie Quan bit the steamed stuffed bun, looked eagerly at the panji on his plate: "Wow, it's strawberry."

Xie Ji pinched the spoon, feeling that it was a bit sweet.

He has never missed a dessert, what happened today...

Xie Quan: "I remember brother, don't you like eating strawberries? You used to make mangoes or apples."

Making mango slices is because it is common, and apples are because Xie Quan likes it.

Xie Ji doesn't have any particular favorite or dislike fruit - except for pineapple, which will never appear on his family's dining table.

Then why did he suddenly make strawberry class halberds.

Xie Ji recalled the situation of buying strawberries.

Not on a whim, but naturally, he has passed the age of doing meaningless things, and everything has its own purpose, but buying "Ask the Mountain and Sea" and buying strawberries to make pancakes is like hitting evil.

It might not be a big deal for someone else, but Xie Ji is different.

Even the simplest details can arouse his vigilance.

He puts down the spoon.

It seems that since yesterday's charity gala, he began to have some ideas that he had never thought of before.

Xie Ji looked at "Ask the Mountain and the Sea" that hadn't had time to deal with it.

He doesn't like feeling out of control.

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Who would come to his house to look for him at this time?

He came to the door, saw the people outside through the monitor, and then opened the door.

As soon as Yang Yuan entered the door, he handed him two heavy bags, and changed into slippers familiarly: "Long time no see, Mr. Xie."

Yang Yuan, his cousin.

Only a few months younger than him, he ignored the huge property of the Yang family and devoted himself to the feng shui industry. It is said that he has become a big boss now.

But in the modern society that pursues only//material//principal//righteousness, Yang Yuan said that at best he is a master deeply immersed in traditional culture, at worst he is a charlatan who does not do business properly and deceives people.

However, Yang Yuan is good-looking and can talk, and his peach blossom eyes have provoked countless girls. Compared with a charlatan, he looks more like an emotional liar.

Xie Quan followed behind Xie Ji and greeted Yang Yuan: "Brother Yuan, you are here."

Yang Yuan rubbed the top of Xie Quan's head: "Xiao Quan, long time no see, I'm here with your brother."

Xie Quan: "Yesterday my brother took me to the auction, and I came back too late, so I slept with him."

Yang Yuan: "The relationship between you two brothers is still so good."

Xie Quan: "Hey, Brother Yuan, why did you come to City Z?"

Yang Yuan waved his hand: "My mother knows that I'm coming to Z City, so she insists on asking me to bring you some special products. Put this thing in the refrigerator quickly, or it will break if you don't keep it."

Xie Ji and Yang Yuan have been on good terms since childhood, so he handed the bag to Xie Quan to pack, found a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and handed it to Yang Yuan.

"Ask Mountains and Seas" was placed carelessly, and Yang Yuan noticed it at a glance, and asked casually, "When did you start painting?"

Speaking of "Ask Mountains and Seas", Xie Ji hadn't figured out the changes in himself in the past two days, so he happened to ask Yang Yuan, who is proficient in metaphysics.

Xie Ji: "It's just in time for you to come, let me ask you something."

He picks and chooses his strangeness to Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan is worthy of being a big boss in the Feng Shui world, and he quickly understood after hearing this: "That's it?"

Xie Ji: "I've never been in this situation before, am I bewitched?"

Yang Yuan took out a piece of blank yellow paper from his arms, bit his fingertips and drew a line, and handed it to him tremblingly: "Put it next to your pillow when you sleep tonight, so that everything goes well for you."

Xie Ji took the talisman paper, he knew that Yang Yuan was not just a vain name, but had some real skills on him: "Just put it next to the pillow?"

Yang Yuan: "Well, don't worry about today. If the effect is satisfactory, you can call me tomorrow, and I'll ask someone to send you a dozen."

Yang Yuan came to Z City to take an order and was busy with something, so he didn't stay here for long, after the two had a chat, Yang Yuan got up to leave.

too light.

Jiang Jichu swallowed the last mouthful of strawberry halberd, and threw the disposable tray and spoon into the trash can.

He patronizes almost the same dessert shops in this city, but he always feels that the taste is not so good. There is a chef who specializes in cooking at home, and he also asks the chef to cook according to his taste, but it still doesn't work.

Jiang Jichu was disappointed in his heart, but the disappointment became a habit after many times, so he didn't take it seriously, got up and went back to the studio.

The studio is full of painted or unpainted works, one of the shelves holds a photo, and underneath is a stack of materials.

Jiang Jichu approached the easel.

The man in the photo is close to thirty, dressed in a dark formal suit, his eyebrows and lips are curved, he smiles before he speaks, and he is very close at first glance.

But the closeness of a man does not mean that he is easy to bully. He wears a valuable watch on his wrist, has a calm demeanor, and keeps a proper distance when talking to people. He is obviously used to being an uncompromising superior.

Xie Ji, 500 million people who bought his paintings.
