A corner of ten years

Recently, there was a free painting exhibition in a gallery near the school. Tao Xiaodong and his class organized a group to visit. Tao Xiaodong was not interested at first, but he was a little lost when he saw the leaflet. The scenery in these paintings is so familiar...

He followed the troop to the gallery, and unknowingly fell behind the others. The works exhibited here are all landscapes, flowers all over the sky, quiet ponds, and tree-lined avenues in the afternoon, beautiful as if in a fairyland, but this is obviously French. The exhibition of colors has a theme that doesn’t match at all—Komatsu Kofu-tei, Sendai. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the exhibition, it’s more like telling someone a place for a date.

Tao Xiaodong walked slowly and stopped in front of a painting, his eyes instantly fogged up.

In the painting, heavy snow covers the mountains, forests and valleys. At the foot of the continuous mountain, there is a stone-built house. It is almost dusk, and the setting sun only dyes a small part of the sky orange. The warm light, like a fairy tale, is extra warm...

Tao Xiaodong covered his mouth with his hand, turned around slowly, and at the other end of the corridor, a tall and thin figure slowly approached...

Among thousands of people, I met you, neither a step too early nor a step too late, I happened to catch up with you, I have nothing else to say except to ask softly: "Oh, so you are here too."

We never fell in love, and we were not the right person at the right time. It was just a sudden fate. However, after the world has changed, I can calmly tell you: So you are here too.

Kitano Takashi stepped forward and rubbed Tao Xiaodong's hair, "Little ghost, are you okay?"

Tao Xiaodong looked at him, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually dissipated, "Old man, I am doing well."

A cafe near the gallery.

Kitano Chong looked at Tao Xiaodong, as if he couldn't see enough, he couldn't take his eyes off him.

Tao Xiaodong felt uncomfortable being watched by him, touched his face and said, "What's so interesting."

"I miss you."

Tao Xiaodong almost spit out his coffee, "You're out of your mind."

"I held the art exhibition to find you."

Tao Xiaodong crossed his arms and looked at him with hanging eyes.

"Well, it's also to find him."

"Have you found him yet?"

Takashi Kitano's eyes darkened for a moment, "Not yet, I hold such art exhibitions in many places, I hope he can see it and know that I am looking for him."

"The name means..."

"That's the hotel my mother left behind, in Sendai, Japan, and I made an appointment with him to take him there."

"Sure enough, it is so dishonest to say that you want to find me."

"I know you're doing well."

"..."

"Zhang Shijie will always tell me about you, Li Cheng and Fang Zien."

Tao Xiaodong blushed quietly, "Big mouth."

"Still hate me?"

The sudden change of the topic made Tao Xiaodong at a loss. The two naturally got acquainted with each other and avoided the sensitive topic. Tao Xiaodong thought that he would collapse when he saw Takashi Kitano again, and return to the original state of self-destruction, but No, they are just like old friends who haven’t seen for a long time. The pain in the middle is like a gap where memories have been lost. Tao Xiaodong suddenly thought of a smile, a back with a hellokitty apron, and a pair of warm and thick palms, like those unbearable past Everything can melt and fade into a wisp of green smoke, so that no matter what it is, you can face it bravely and calmly.

"I never hated it."

"sorry."

"forgive you."

The two smiled at each other.

"Our kid has really grown up."

I have suffered so much thanks to being cheated so much, if I don’t make some progress, wouldn’t my life be in vain? Tao Xiaodong Shun Shun’s slightly curled hair, after all, he met some good teachers, who made me grow into such a person non-stop.

"What about a company like yours?"

"It's going to be sold."

"Ok?"

"I was also not good at dealing with people. Except for the hotel left by my mother, I will sell it."

"Did I tell you before that you have the face of playing Qiong Yao's bitter love scene?"

"Even if the drama of bitterness has to go on, what should I do otherwise?"

Takashi Kitano twirled the handle of the coffee cup with his thumb and forced a wry smile.

"I will find it..." Tao Xiaodong didn't know how to comfort him.

At this time, Tao Xiaodong's cell phone rang, it was an exclusive ringtone, Kitano Taka watched him pick up the phone, his voice became a bit coquettish, he stood up, and mouthed to Kitano Takashi: "I'm leaving."

Kitano nodded knowingly.

Tao Xiaodong walked out the door with his mobile phone, "We will finish the tour in a while, you can just wait for me at the intersection, don't don't, let people think I'm a jerk, just wait there..."

Looking at his back, Kitano Takashi finally untied a knot in his heart.

In an alley in Shanghai, a group of children were noisy and scratching cigarette brands together. A handsome young man walked around them and parked his bicycle downstairs, pushed open a low carved door and went upstairs...

The boy was cutting tomatoes in the public kitchen, and Aunt Wang next door chose a handful of chopped green onions to talk to him.

"Xiaolu, are you a girlfriend?"

Cheng Lu smiled and said, "Not yet."

"Looks like a crooked mother, is it a friend? Change to Auntie Tian and introduce one."

Cheng Lu smiled noncommittal.

"Like a good little girl like Nong Ai Lang, Auntie is sure Yethan Nong is a good girl friend."

"Then thank you, auntie."

"Let Nong Duo's mother have no time to play wooden games in the area, and Ning Lai's nest is too boring to talk about."

"Well, I'll talk to him."

The 26-year-old Cheng Lu has done a lot of work, such as courier delivery boy, bakery clerk, water delivery worker, and sketching people at the subway entrance...Because he doesn't have a formal graduation certificate, he can only do some low-tech things. To make ends meet, he and his mother live in this small house that is bigger than sesame seeds, but they rely on their own labor to make money every day, so they live a solid and comfortable life...

Cheng Lu brought the fried dishes back to the room, crumpled up a leaflet of the art exhibition on the coffee table and threw it into the trash can.

"I'm going to Japan next week." Li Cheng turned the steering wheel, looked at the road ahead, and said casually.

"Go for what?"

"Acquiring a company."

"Are you avenging me? I don't need it."

Li Cheng looked at Tao Xiaodong who was pouting beside him, "I have always distinguished between public and private, Shang Feng is a piece of fat, everyone has a share, and Zhang Shijie will go too."

"Then I'll go too."

"Hey!"

"It's just fun."

"I'm going to discuss business."

"I won't hinder you." Tao Xiaodong raised his hand to promise.

"..."

"Why don't you go?"

Tao Xiaodong looked at Li Cheng who had parked his car aside, Li Cheng hesitated to speak and looked at the small restaurant next to the road.

Tao Xiaodong turned his head, a middle-aged man was serving dishes to others, wrinkles were carved on his face, and also carved into Tao Xiaodong's heart.

"drive!"

"peach."

"Drive!"

Li Cheng looked at Tao Xiaodong helplessly, and drove the car away.

"He has been looking for you, working in Beijing while inquiring about your whereabouts."

"..."

"He hasn't gambled since you left, and he's been blaming himself."

"..." Tao Xiaodong's eyes were reddish.

"He suffered a lot, slept in the train station, bought newspapers, and had to watch people's faces."

"..." Two tears fell down and hit Tao Xiaodong's palm.

Li Cheng parked the car by the side of the road and hugged the poor little boy beside him, "You can even forgive Kitano Takashi, but can't you forgive Dad?"

"What kind of father is he?" Tao Xiaodong cried while grabbing the front of Li Cheng's clothes.

Li Cheng shunned his back, "Go and see if he's alright, I'll wait for you here, you walk over slowly, if you don't want to talk to him, just take a look at him and see what happens when he abandons you." Li Cheng was persuasive and persuasive, and helped the child.

Tao Xiaodong lay on his shoulder, "You wait for me here."

"must."

Tao Xiaodong slowly climbed out of the car and walked towards the small restaurant...

"Do you have to do this? I'm afraid that others will not know that you are going to launder money." Li Cheng looked at Tao Xiaodong's suitcase full of LVs, and his taste was a headache.

"Xiaobai has such a set."

"As for Zhang Shijie, you also follow him."

Tao Xiaodong pouted and watched Li Cheng take out his clothes and put them into his black suitcase, the boss was not happy, such an ugly suitcase.

"Say hello to Dad before you go."

"The store just opened, so he doesn't have time to talk to me."

"Then let's talk about it."

"Got it~ Can I take Po there?"

"No."

"Take it."

"no!"

"Bai Bing can take a camel!"

"Is the camel a human?"
