why are they still in love

The name of Xiao Zhaoshan's gallery is "Zhao".

The word is painted into an ivory-white Song type metal signboard, and on the right, it is pasted on a whole piece of autumn-colored mountain-patterned black walnut wood that can be seen to be old at a glance.A group of spotlights below are aimed at the name of the store. The sunrise and autumn mountains are illuminated in white, which is called "Mountain Photo".

Standing under this modern and simple facade, Xiao Chining secretly laughed at Xiao Zhaoshan's painstaking efforts to spend at least 30 yuan.He can guarantee that 90.00% of nine point nine customers will not understand the intention of his design.

Only he is that one-tenth of a percent.

However, he doesn't like walnut very much, he likes ash best, and willow next.In the past, I read miscellaneous books, and the book said that willows have no seeds, and they have the same meaning.And ash is more attractive to bugs than willow, and it gets its name from the ash worms that live in the heart of its tree.

Xiao Chining will think of himself.

In the fifth grade of elementary school, the teacher in the oil painting class asked the ten children in the class: What do you think is the prototype of the World Tree?The six children looked at each other in blank dismay, two children answered the world, and one child asked back, what is the world tree?The teacher said: "This is the tree in Norse mythology, and the world was born on this tree."

At that time, Xiao Chining wrote down the answer on the bottom right of the drawing paper, and did not tell anyone. After returning home, he asked Qiu Yin to change his teacher.When Quin asked why, the 11-year-old replied, "Because she said the world was ash worms."

"What do you think?" With his hands behind his back, he stared at a modern oil painting with the theme of World Tree for a long time, and asked Chen Yu sent by Xiao Zhaoshan to show him around.

Chen Yu was wearing a gray suit today, with a red rope work badge around his neck.He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Xiao Chining turned his head and teased, "Would you like to ask your Teacher Xiao for help outside the venue?"

Chen Yu clenched his fist and coughed on his lips, and hurriedly changed the subject: "It's time to go, I'll take you to the office area to have a look."

Xiao Chining was still asking: "Do you like him?"

Chen Yu greeted another employee wearing a work badge while walking, and then frowned and retorted: "The meaning of 'like' is too broad. I also like golden retrievers."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Chining smiled slyly, "You said that Xiao Zhaoshan is also a dog."

Chen Yu turned back and stared at him: "Why are you so childish!"

The first time Xiao Chining heard such an evaluation was from a third party who got involved in his family, but he found it fresh, and pretended to be wronged: "I am not naive, so uncles and aunts should not treat me as a child." My son saw it, and I would cry if I was given too much work."

Chen Yu squinted his eyes, really not sure what kind of way this young man was, so he stopped talking.

Xiao Chining followed him around a partition wall inlaid with tea mirrors, and came from the exhibition area to the work area.

The layout of the working area is completely different from the exhibition area in front, more like a courtyard with two entrances.On both sides of the courtyard are completely symmetrical Chinese-style corridors and offices with round windows carved out between them; at the corner of the corridor is a tall Pansy locust tree, also known as the rich tree, which is a good season at the moment. The trees are all heavy bunches of purple-red flowers.

In the center of the garden is a stone pond surrounded by layers of double-petaled lily-of-the-valleys. A regular concave opening was cut on the edge facing inward. Wide gravel channels flowed deeper into the garden.

Xiao Chining looked down at the water flowing under the glass floor for a while, and asked, "Where will it be led?"

Chen Yu swiped his badge on the sensor, looked down at his feet, then raised his head and smiled proudly: "Teacher Xiao's studio."

This design has nothing to do with him as an intern, Xiao Chining doesn't understand where his pride comes from.

It wasn't until he saw the living pool in Xiao Zhaoshan's studio that he realized that those eyes were full of admiration and envy.

Xiao Zhaoshan was sitting beside him, with one foot bent and the other straight, with a cigarette still burning between his right fingers, and his left hand holding a paintbrush in the small pool of one square meter.

It took a long time to co-author, and this pool of water was attracted to wash his pens.

Xiao Chining can be sure that the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and Taxation Bureau definitely has Xiao Zhaoshan's acquaintances, otherwise he would have been confiscated of personal property and sent to prison for tax evasion, profiteering, corruption and bribery and other messy charges.

Xiao Zhaoshan didn't even look at the two of them, and kept staring at the canvas: "Chen Yu, ask Lu Mei to arrange a job for him that doesn't go into the hall."

"Okay, Teacher Xiao." Chen Yu called very seriously this time, "The closure of the museum has been arranged for this afternoon, and the VIP passage can be arranged around 01:30."

Xiao Zhaoshan exhaled a puff of green smoke, still looking at the canvas: "Understood, let's all go out."

Xiao Chining turned a deaf ear to it, walked to the edge of the living pool, stood behind Xiao Zhaoshan unobtrusively, and looked at the oil painting he was creating with crossed hands.

The water in the pool has turned pink, and a woman in a red robe is sitting in the rectangular sunlight in front of the window, with her hands flat on the back of the chair, her black hair falling to her shoulders, and then straight down, dragging to the end of the sunlight.

Even if Xiao Zhaoshan didn't draw this woman's face, Xiao Chining could still imagine her demeanor and charm.Like the pond in "Moon Night in the Forest".

"Do you want to continue painting?" he asked.

Xiao Zhaoshan replied: "Aren't you going to get out?"

Xiao Chining stretched out his right hand and pointed at the woman's face: "Here, you don't need to paint."

Xiao Zhaoshan looked at Chen Yu silently with a downcast face. Chen Yu reacted quickly and pulled Xiao Chining to his side: "Go, report to Sister Lu."

Xiao Chining brushed away the hand that was holding his wrist, turned around and smiled at Xiao Zhaoshan: "If you don't believe me, try it."

Xiao Zhaoshan didn't respond any more, and didn't even give him a glance.

After leaving the studio, Xiao Chining stopped Chen Yu who was walking in front of him without saying a word: "He hasn't been able to draw a fart in 15 years, so you still call him a teacher?"

Chen Yu didn't turn his head back: "Whether it's artistic attainments or management, your father is worthy of being a teacher."

Xiao Chining smiled, and said in earnest: "My father...why do you think he is my father?"

Chen Yu stopped and looked back at him strangely: "Isn't it? Teacher Xiao said you are his son."

"Then did he tell you that he's married?" Xiao Chining stretched out his hand and pulled a purple flower from the hanging branch of Pansy japonica.

Chen Yu's facial features tensed instantly: "I know, but what does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Chining took a step forward, pinned the blooming flower to his ear, leaned over as if talking to the flower: "I'm his little lover raised in Hangzhou, what do you think this has to do with me?" relation."

Chen Yu stared at him in silence for a while, ignored his joke, raised his hand and pushed open the two wooden doors beside him, and said in a tone of a prisoner, "Oh. Go in."

Seeing that Xiao Chining didn't move, he frowned, pulled him directly to the door, and introduced to the people inside: "Sister Lu, this is Xiao Chining."

Lu Mei stood up from her seat, stared at him for a while, Chen Yu realized that she had a big flower pinned to her ear, quickly took it off and threw it back into Xiao Chining's arms, then changed her face and smiled at Lu Mei : "Just playing with Chi Ning."

Xiao Chining caught the flower, suddenly became obedient, and greeted Lu Mei, who was about the same age as Xiao Zhaoshan, in a soft voice: "Mr. Lu is good."

"Hey, Chi Ning is so big!" Lu Mei took off her short-sighted glasses, walked from behind the workbench to the two of them, patted Xiao Chi Ning's shoulder affectionately, and looked at him with disdainful eyes, " This looks so handsome, like your mother."

Xiao Chining took half a step back calmly, still smiling: "Have you seen me?"

Lu Mei didn't notice, and warmly invited the two of them to the room, and said strangely: "Your father and I are college classmates, and I watched him fall in love, get married and have children. How could I have never seen him? It's just that you were still young at that time, so you don't know what to do. Just remember."

Chen Yu didn't seem interested in reminiscing about the past between the two: "Sister Lu, Teacher Xiao asked you to arrange some work for Chi Ning. I don't have anything to do here, so I'll go back to 107 and continue working. You chat slowly."

Lu Mei nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Chen."

"It's not hard, you have to work hard for the explanation in the afternoon." Chen Yu respectfully walked to the door.

Lu Mei then turned her attention back to Xiao Chining.She took out a celadon cup from the closet in the office, poured a cup of honeysuckle tea burning on the charcoal stove, and handed it to him: "I don't know if you young people are used to drinking this."

Xiao Chining finally realized the feeling of eating people with short mouths and short hands.He put the flowers on the table, took the cup, but didn't intend to drink it, and asked directly: "Did I live in Beijing when I was a child? I don't remember it at all."

"Of course, you lived in Beijing for a year before going to Hangzhou with your grandmother." Lu Mei filled the water bottle with pure water, "At that time you looked much more lively than now, you loved to play and cry, toss Your father can't sleep well, and he has a nervous breakdown."

Xiao Chining still finds it delicate to hear a family scene he has never seen from a stranger.

Lu Mei put down the mineral water bottle and sat down in front of him. She couldn't help laughing and said, "He once joked with me that he almost threw you off the stairs because of the headache several times. Sigh, being a parent is not easy."

"Really." Xiao Chining's smile stiffened, and he immediately lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup to hide the hatred in his eyes.

He took a sip of hot tea slowly, but his voice became colder.

"He's not kidding, he really wants me to die."
