Dream Pet Shop

30 The fourth pet

After all, he was invited to participate in the art exhibition, so he couldn't say that he was able to live with the organizer, and he didn't give a lot of praise to the exhibition, so after breakfast, Xia Jilongwei followed Xie Yan to see the exhibition.

The scale of this exhibition is quite large. It can be said that the new talents in the domestic art world gathered together, and all of them wanted to stand out at this grand event.Everywhere in the exhibition hall, you can see young people dressed in "extraordinary and refined" standing in front of the exhibition area and talking with others, all of them have the momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers.

Xia Ji got a headache from wandering around these secretive exhibition areas. He pointed to a few pure white picture frames on the wall. There was nothing in the picture frames. Seeing that it was like dust, Xia Ji wanted to buckle it off with his hands, almost forced out obsessive-compulsive disorder. "What do these blank paintings want to express?"

Xie Yan didn't know who to chat with, he was lowering his head and quickly pressed his phone, looked up at the picture frame, then lowered his head again, and explained casually: "Who is not confused in youth, just graduated kids always like to do this .”

"Oh, what about this one?" Xia Ji walked a few steps forward and came to another exhibition area, which was just the opposite of the one just now. This exhibition area was painted with black paint from the walls to the ground like ghost symbols. Xia Ji squinted his eyes for a long time, and recognized some Chinese characters from the dark and chaotic mess, which read... all swear words.After watching it for less than a minute, it caused Xia Ji's strong nausea.

Xie Yan still just glanced at it, and said with no surprise: "The normal life of modern people: anxiety and uneasiness. It's a commonplace thing."

Xia Ji rubbed his stomach, and continued walking, and suddenly saw a huge indescribable sculpture, which almost restored a certain part of a human body to the point of detail.Xia Ji's face turned red, and he didn't know where to look. He pointed at the sculpture and stammered awkwardly: "This, this, this..."

"Huh?" Seeing that Xia Ji hesitated and couldn't explain clearly, Xie Yan took the initiative to look up, without blushing and heartbeat, and said as usual: "The theme of life, every year."

"..." Xia Ji complained wildly in his heart, are you all so unreasonable in the art world?What do you say?It seems that the ability of me and other mortals to bear art is still too low, bother, bother.

Xia Ji felt that if he went on shopping, he would be in a bad mood. He saw that Xie Yan was also very busy, so he suggested: "Why don't you go to work first, Brother Long and I will go around by ourselves."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to work first. There will be an awards ceremony on the first floor of the exhibition hall at noon, and I will wait for you there."

Xie Yan walked away briskly, Xia Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer pretending to "taste" each exhibition area, but just like shopping in a supermarket, do whatever you want, and simply ignore what you don't understand.The result of this is that the huge exhibition hall is almost full at once.

There were too many strange things around, Xia Ji felt that this place was not suitable for confession at all, and thought in his heart that he had to find other suitable opportunities.

While walking, Xia Ji's eyes suddenly brightened in an unremarkable corner of the exhibition hall.

"Oh my God!" Xia Ji ran over excitedly. The location of this exhibition area is very remote, and few people came here. If Xia Ji was not bored here, he might have missed it!

There are many paintings on the walls of the small exhibition area of ​​two or three square meters, including watercolor, ink, oil painting, and panel painting, all of which are of various types, but all of them have the same theme: cats!

This is too much for the cat slave Xia Ji's appetite!

Xia Ji admired it while watching, "It's so cute" and couldn't stop talking.The colors of each painting are very bright, and the skills are skillful. The key is that the cats in the paintings are all vivid, and the painter has keenly captured the most natural and vivid side of the cat. Xia Ji thinks that the painter must also be a cat lover.

Xia Ji stopped in front of a painting of a black cat for a long time to look at it. He pointed to the painting and said to Long Wei, "I also met a black cat at night before, and it looked very similar to this one."

Long Wei looked at the painting, the cat in the painting was a male cat, with a black body, a pair of big golden eyes round like copper bells, the key is that the picture captured by the painter is very special, I don’t know if this black cat is just After going to the toilet, it was still... In short, it was licking its own cat balls.

Xia Ji has been staring at this painting for 5 minutes, smiling very subtly: "It's so cute, hehehe."

Long Wei: "..."

Long Wei: "What do you think is cute?"

"As long as it is a cat, everything is cute!" Xia Ji replied without thinking, and when he mentioned cats, he couldn't control his mouth: "Brother Long, let me tell you, the black cat I met before looks more than a picture. This one here is still beautiful, and the fur... I have never touched such a smooth fur! If that cat becomes my pet one day, 24 hours a day is not too much to masturbate!"

Long Wei: "...(ー_ー)!!!"

"It's such a beautiful cat, I want to see it too." Suddenly a strange voice sounded from the side, interrupting Xia Ji who was beaming with excitement.

Because the voice was a bit weird, hoarse and sharp, like the screeching sound made by chalk with impurities when it was scratched on the blackboard, Xia Ji subconsciously looked for the sound and turned his head, but his heart beat violently in fright, and his body reflexively stepped back and leaned in. into Long Wei's arms.

Long Wei embraced Xia Ji and turned around, keeping Xia Ji behind him, looking at the person in front of him with a slightly vigilant expression.

The visitor immediately bowed his head deeply, and apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry to scare you, I just saw that you also like cats, so..."

Xia Ji even yelled in a gaffe just now, which attracted some visitors not far away to look here curiously.Xia Ji couldn't be blamed for this, anyone who suddenly saw such a ferocious face would probably be shocked.

The other party didn't know what he had experienced. On the face and neck, as long as the exposed skin was all dark pink, the epidermis was full of wrinkles, there were no eyebrows, and the facial features were even deformed.

Hearing the voice of the other party apologizing, Xia Ji realized that he had reacted too much just now and seemed very rude, so he quickly walked out from behind Long Wei, and said in a mean-spirited way: "I reacted too much, you don't need to apologize."

The other party lowered his head and was about to leave silently, but stopped when he heard Xia Ji talking to him, but he didn't dare to raise his head, as if he was afraid of scaring people again.

"Ah, do you like cats too?" Xia Ji began to exchange pleasantries in embarrassment.

"Well, I'm the author of this exhibition area." The other party whispered.

Xia Ji didn't expect the author himself to appear at all, and immediately said: "Ah, it's a pleasure to meet you, your paintings are very good! I like them very much!"

"Thank you." The other party also looked up at the paintings on the wall, and sighed: "Although I have drawn so many cats, I really wish I could raise one myself."

"Eh? Don't you have a cat?" Xia Ji was very surprised. "To be able to draw such a wonderful painting, I thought it must be accompanied by a cat every day."

The other party showed a bitter smile, and the wrinkles on his face became more: "As you can see, I encountered a fire once, and 80.00% of my body was severely burned. The regenerated skin is very sensitive and fragile, and I can't touch any animal hair. I guess I won't be able to do it in this life Let's get a cat." He paused, as if talking to himself: "Besides, I am like this, I am afraid that even cats will be afraid."

Xia Ji sighed for a while, not knowing how to answer, and finally the two could only say goodbye and leave in embarrassment.

At noon, Xia Ji and Long Wei went to the award ceremony on the first floor of the exhibition hall to meet Xie Yan. There were also some magazine reporters on the scene, and the flashes kept blinking, looking decent.

Xie Yan handed each of Xia Ji and Long Wei a small card, saying it was for voting. It turns out that everyone who came to the exhibition today can vote for the selected works, and the three works with the highest number of votes will be awarded.

The large screen in the center of the exhibition hall began to play the selected works. Among the many "unknown" works, Xia Ji accidentally saw that the work number 13 was the painting of the black cat, which reminded me of the author just now.Xia Ji liked that painting very much, and in order to show his support for the author, he voted for No. 13 without hesitation.

After the on-site statistics of the staff, the host announced excitedly: "After the voting by the organizing committee and the on-site visitors, three award-winning works of this art exhibition were finally selected. They are No. 1, No. 4 and... …on the 13th, congratulations to their creators, and now to these young artists on stage to receive their awards.”

"Wow, there is number 13!" Xia Ji was very excited. It seems that there are still people with normal aesthetics in the art world.

The flashing lights under the stage came one after another, surrounded by applause and flowers, and the two fashionable young men went on stage, but when the author of work No. 13 came on stage, there were discordant whispers from the stage, and even the host was frightened by his appearance When they arrived, they froze on the stage for a long time without speaking, and the magazine reporters immediately stopped taking pictures.

The burnt young man stood awkwardly on the stage, and the other two young men who won the award cast reproachful glances at him after a brief moment of stupefaction, as if to say, "You look like this, why come out to scare people."

"Oh, it's over now." Xie Yan held his phone and sighed, "In the group of the organizing committee, they are already discussing to find someone to replace him."

"How can this be! Isn't this a fake?" Xia Ji was very angry!

Xie Yan shrugged his shoulders and said: "The current atmosphere in the circle is like this. Newcomers all present themselves as stars, and those selected by the organizer will also become star artists in the future. In addition to being talented, they must also have good looks. value."

Xia Ji sneered: "Oh! It turns out that it's a circle based on faces, so you also rely on your faces to get into this?"

"Joke, I rely on my strength." Xie Yan refused to admit it.

Xia Ji was too lazy to listen to him, and didn't want to watch the awards ceremony anymore, so he sat on the sidelines and checked Weibo irritably. He saw the profiles he had written for the pets in the store before, and when he saw a certain profile, he just Suddenly realized that I might have a way to realize the artist's wish of raising a cat!

The author has something to say: Xia Xiaoji sang: "I have a beautiful wish~~When I grow up, I can lick cats every day~~It's enough to lick one by one~~la la la la la~~"

Long Wei OS: (ー_ー)!!! He must not find out that I am that black cat, I will definitely be bald...
