Hu Meizi

41.

After Sun Du and Xie Tang finished watching the exhibition, it was almost 18:30.

The National Gallery of Art usually closes at 18:21, but today happens to be Friday, so the closing time is extended to [-]:[-].

It's just that there are not many people in the art gallery now, and the empty space looks extraordinarily quiet.

When Xie Tang and Sun Du came out, Nissan had been waiting at the door for a long time.

The two got into the car one after the other, and went straight to the Sichuan cuisine private restaurant that Nissan had arranged properly.

Nissan, who was driving in the front seat, quietly looked at Master Stein and his lover behind him through the rearview mirror.

As expected, Master Stein's lover was attached again.His small mouth was opening and closing, speaking Chinese that Nissan couldn't understand.

But Nisan could probably guess that it was probably related to the art exhibition, otherwise the young master would not have nodded frequently or said a few words to him.

Seeing Master Stein's lover smiling brightly, kissing and hugging him from time to time, and the young master didn't show any displeasure, the two should get along very well.

Originally, Nisan watched Master Stein and his lover come out empty-handed, and he didn't hear Master Stein summoning him in halfway, arranging for him to discuss buying or exchanging which painting. He thought that the master and his lover got along well. Not pleasant enough.

As a result, he took a closer look at the relationship between the two of them, and he knew it in his heart, probably the young master's lover didn't mention it.

Sun Du didn't know these things, and he never had the habit of reaching out to his lover to ask for something.What's more, it's still a painting collected in an art museum?

Opening your mouth to ask for this kind of thing, in Sun Du's view, is it too ignorant?

He can be regarded as the most worry-free type of lover. He doesn't need resources or power. Will ask for it.

The first is that he is not short of money. For the companies he invested in in the early years, the interest and dividends alone are enough for him to live for the rest of his life; to shape your position.

Sun Du lazily leaned on Xie Tang's body, holding Xie Tang's wide and somewhat rough palm with two tender white hands, rubbing it once and for all.

The brilliance in his fox eyes was flowing, and he looked thrilling in the slightly dim compartment.

Xie Tang closed his eyes and rested his mind, letting him touch and play.

Occasionally, Sun Du made a mischief, raised his hand, and kissed his hand, and then he opened his eyes and glanced at him lightly, without showing any emotion.

What Xie Tang told Sun Du was a private Sichuan cuisine restaurant, and it really is a private restaurant.

The location of this store is not remote, just a little hidden.

Overall, it looks a bit like a small villa.A small stream was dug in front of the private hall, and some exotic flowers and plants were planted. A few white ducklings were swimming in the water, shaking their heads and flicking their tails from time to time.There is an exquisite bridge over the water, and the private hall is also antique. Under the traditional wooden roof, there are neatly laid gray bricks.

It is obviously a private restaurant of Sichuan cuisine, but it has a taste of a Jiangnan water town.

Xie Tang got out of the car, and the owner of this private restaurant, also the chef, greeted him.

The boss is a man in his 40s, round and fat, with squinted eyes, like a Maitreya Buddha.

After Xie Tang got out of the car, he led Sun Du out. The boss saw that the smile on Sun Du's face didn't change, and it seemed that he was used to these things.

"The two of you came to my shop, it really made my shop flourish." The boss also knew that Xie Tang was proficient in Chinese, so he spoke Chinese directly.

Sun Du also heard a familiar tone from the boss's tone. He had been in a foreign country for more than a month, and he spoke mostly English and some simple Chinese. few.

Hearing the accent at first glance actually made him feel quite warm in his heart.It's no wonder that the old saying goes, when fellow villagers see fellow villagers, their eyes are full of tears.

Sun Du took a look at Xie Tang, shook his sleeves as a question, and after Xie Tang nodded to him, he said to the boss, "I am a native of City C, and this time I am honored to visit you with Stein. shop, makes me very happy."

Sun Du spoke the local dialect of City C.

The boss's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and his squinted eyes widened a little.His round face was radiant, and it could be seen that he was also very excited to meet a fellow villager.

Sun Du hugged Xie Tang, chatted casually with the boss, and was ushered into the private room prepared for them.

The decoration inside this private hall is quite modern, with a simple design and traditional Chinese elements. There are several Chinese antique bottles and jars on the shelves, which look quite similar.

Just now, Sun Du was also proudly introduced by the boss, that his wife designed the place inside and out.

His wife was born in the south of the Yangtze River and is educated and knowledgeable.Although the two have no children, it is not difficult to see from his words that the boss loves and respects his wife deeply.

Sun Du and Xie Tang sat facing each other. The table was a small round glass table. Under the glass table was a large blue and white water tank, in which there were a few leisurely red fish swimming, and a few green fish floating in the air. aquatic plants.

"Xie Tang, how did you find this restaurant?" Sun Du asked, taking a sip of the barley tea in his hand, "I remember you don't like spicy food?"

Xie Tang showed no expression, and took a sip of the tea on the side, "In the past, Natalie liked to eat, so I asked someone to introduce this restaurant."

Sun Du nitpicked his brows. During the past few days, he didn't see how Natalie could eat spicy food.

But after thinking about it, Xie Tang's mother...

Sun Du had a rough idea in his heart, and understood why Xie Tang was familiar with this private museum.

Xie Tang's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion.

Sun Du didn't ask any more questions, just raised the cup holder again, and took a sip of the barley tea.

These days, thanks to Maisha's teachings, he even picked up the saucer reflexively to drink barley tea.

"What about you?" Xie Tang raised his head and looked at him quietly, "Why haven't you learned how to draw?"

Xie Tang's demeanor was peaceful, his eyes were so indifferent that people could not see him for thousands of miles, but they were so serious that people felt fiery.When he looked at Sun Du quietly, he always gave Sun Du a feeling that the world around him had stopped.

It was as if at this moment, the leaves floating in the air outside the window stopped, and the water dripping from the pool condensed. In this world, only Xie Tang was watching him, waiting for him to speak.

All the wind, rain, lightning, thunder in the world, all the fierce and contradictory collisions flow in Xie Tang's dark blue and almost black eyes.

Sun Du lowered his head, hiding his emotions.

What to say?

Sun Du picked up the teacup directly and took a sip of tea.

His heart was cold, full of the coldness of winter.

But when he raised his head to look at Xie Tang, the fox's eyes were filled with tears, and there was a faint glimmer of water swirling in his eye sockets.

When he was like this in the past, his lovers wanted to hug him and hold him high. If he played a little bit of temper, it would be a good night.

But Xie Tang just watched him as usual, with a calm and indifferent expression, still waiting for his answer.

Of course Sun Du knew that Xie Tang would not be able to get rid of like this, and this was also what fascinated him about Xie Tang.When getting along with Xie Tang, he always has to be extra vigilant to prevent his true self from leaking out of his skin.

However, he always likes novelty, excitement and adventure.

But just when Sun Du had a strategy in mind and opened his mouth slightly to speak, the door of the private room was knocked open.

A group of waiters filed in, steadily carrying plates of white jade dishes.

It's time for hot dishes.

Xie Tang and Sun Du looked at each other, and they both tacitly kept silent, waiting for the dishes to be served before communicating.

Xie Tang was still looking at Sun Du, but his eyes were not focused, and his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was thinking about something through Sun Du.

He himself didn't know why he asked this question.

In fact, regarding Sun Du's question, he has already found out a general idea, and he can more or less guess the cause and effect.But he didn't know why, but he just wanted to ask.

He saw Sun Du's long eyelashes flickering slightly, bowing his head in silence and feeling uncomfortable, even though he knew it was a gesture made by Sun Du.He tensed up for no reason, and felt that it was really rude of him to ask such a question.

And Sun Du stared at the slow red-tailed goldfish in the water tank, wondering what he was thinking.

The goldfish's red tail was like a stretched red net, loose in clusters, and it was slowly swimming past Sun Du's face reflected on the glass table.

Like a smear of red, it tore his skin.
