Chapter 58 - name of art

An hour ago, Zhou Ziheng was still chatting with Zhao Ke, and the other party has been urging him to attend the art salon tonight.

“I heard that there are many painters at the dinner party here.” Zhao Ke on the other end of the phone was still a little excited, “Maybe there are some beautiful painters.”

Speaking of the painter, Zhou Ziheng couldn’t help thinking of that figure in his mind.

“When did you get this good?” Zhou Ziheng wore headphones and posed with his eyes closed. His event tonight was a seminar on the promotion of Chinese and foreign independent films. He was the only male actor of the twentieth generation present, and the rest were all She is a big coffee with a lot of experience and awards in hand, Jiang Yinqian reminded her ten thousand times, Zhou Ziheng also understood her painstaking efforts, this is paving the way for herself.

Zhao Ke joked on the other end, “I saw that you were trending on CP two days ago, and then I took a closer look at his photos and videos. I found that the artistic temperament is really different, so I can’t tell. That kind. And he really looks like a girl, prettier than many girls, hey, does he have a younger sister? Does he look like one? Introduce me?”

Zhou Ziheng frowned, his displeasure was too obvious, “Get out of here.”

“Just kidding, it’s a pity that this kind of appearance doesn’t grow on girls.” Zhao Ke changed the subject, and as a child, he teased him as usual, “Hey, you haven’t mentioned your first love recently. Miss Sister, something is wrong.”

Zhou Ziheng was a little guilty when he was said to be the center of the matter, “What are you talking about…”

“Really, I haven’t heard you talk about it for a long time. It’s so uncomfortable.” Zhao Ke said in a low tone, “You must have changed your mind.”

Zhou Ziheng didn’t speak for a long time, but Zhao Ke’s heart thumped, “Hey… are you okay, why don’t you talk?”

After a while, Zhou Ziheng finally spoke, “… Let me ask you, if you knew from the beginning that there was such a person who had a chaotic private life, loved to lie, and liked to play with other people’s feelings, especially like to abandon those who liked him, like this Do you have a good impression of him?”

“What kind of affection are you talking about?” Zhao Ke defaulted in his heart that Zhou Ziheng liked girls, but he also felt that he heard this description as a man, and he naturally thought of the affection of being friends, “I think this Let’s talk about it separately, isn’t there a lot of people like this in our circle? They like to have fun, and they don’t treat others with sincerity. The young master is sick, but I don’t think it hinders being friends. Honesty, let’s divide these among others.”

Zhou Ziheng knew that Zhao Ke couldn’t understand what he said, and he didn’t know why he asked him. He just felt that he was in a period of confusion. To be honest, he was disgusted with the relationship that he could only count with Xia Xi. He wanted to Possession, this kind of thought grew wildly in his mind like weeds, and was about to drive him crazy.

Why can’t he love himself.

Why did this terrible possessiveness appear on him.

As long as he thought of what Xia Xiqing had done in the past, Zhou Ziheng lost his confidence. So many people, no one has ever kept his heart. How dare he say that he is special, so many people have been sweet and close to him, and even have a deeper relationship than him, but they all lost to Xia Xiqing’s morbid desire to play without exception.

He has already lost, but he is just pretending that he still has a chance of winning.

Once his thoughts were exposed, Xia Xiqing might abandon him without hesitation.

If that’s the result, Zhou Ziheng would rather trap himself in this false sweet trap, even if Xia Xiqing and him are just playing, at least there will be a short-term happiness.

“Well, you’re right.” Zhou Ziheng said a few perfunctory words, but Zhao Ke said again, “That is to say, you are such an upright person, you probably don’t want to hang out with that kind of person. You don’t even like Girls are all angelic.”

Contrary to what he said, Zhou Ziheng just wanted to keep silent.

Not only did he hang out with that kind of person, but he also fell in love with that kind of person.

“Are you coming or not? Come and let us go there together.”

“I can’t go to the meeting. I’m doing styling right now.” The stylist began to blow his hair, and the two ended the call.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ziheng received several messages from Zhao Ke just after listening to an Italian director’s speech. He was a little surprised. It turned out that the event Xia Xiqing mentioned was the same event as the art salon Zhao Ke mentioned?

Thinking about it this way, he was not surprised. It was normal for Xia Xiqing to attend the Art Salon. Now it’s his turn to regret it. He knew that he should have gone when he received the invitation, but he considered too much at that time. Whether he was a celebrity or with a family background, he was too eye-catching. The All-Star red carpet is much more uncomfortable, at least other colleagues can share the attention, and there are other arrangements for tonight, so he can only push it down.

If he knew that Xia Xiqing would go, he might have gone without even thinking about it.

Zhao Ke at the banquet was peeking at Xia Xiqing when his phone vibrated.

[Hengheng: He went alone? ]

[Ke Zi: It seems so, he was alone just now, but he is so eye-catching, men and women all come to strike up a conversation, he is too busy. ]

Seeing the last three words, Zhou Ziheng felt the blood rushing into his brain. He could almost imagine the scene of Xia Xiqing drinking and chatting with others in a gentle manner with that pretty face on his face.

This kind of banquet is attended by people who have a certain understanding of art. Will they get along well with Xia Xiqing, and will they hit it off.

The heart suddenly became manic.

[Hengheng: Who did they go to? Is there anyone I know? ]

Zhao Ke didn’t think much about it, took a look at the scene, and quickly replied to the message.

[Ke Zi: You know most of them, many of them belong to our compound, this one was done by Zhong Chi, and some rich second-generation riches were invited, you don’t know, the luxury car parked at the door, thanks to me today I also deliberately drove the most low-key car, for fear that my father and brother would be hurt by the report. ]

As the conversation got further and further away, Zhou Ziheng became irritable and furious.

He didn’t know how to get him to keep an eye on it for him, and he said directly that Zhao Ke must feel strange, but he questioned whether Zhao Ke’s IQ could understand it.

[Hengheng: Xia Xiqing’s personality is relatively simple, he doesn’t know anything except painting, please help me take care of it, and if anything happens, you can tell me. ]

Zhao Ke is happy, what can happen, besides telling you what to do, just as you are the superman who saves the world?

But Zhao Kebi’s sense of justice is clear to everyone, and he doesn’t find it strange, and in his heart, Xia Xiqing really fits the word “simple” that Zhou Ziheng said.

All right, he will also be the flower protector this time, bah, the grass protector.

Put away the phone, and turned around to find that Xia Xiqing was gone, together with the man who just hit up next to him. Zhao Ke panicked all of a sudden, he had just promised well, but he slapped him in the face so quickly.

“Where did you go…” Zhao Ke was wandering around like a headless fly, and bumped into a girl wearing a black velvet suspender dress.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Zhao Ke repeatedly apologized, but found that this girl was very familiar, “You are…” His mind went blank, and he couldn’t think of anything, obviously the name was on his lips.

Unexpectedly, the girl laughed first, “I’ve been in this embarrassing atmosphere of being familiar with people but not being able to name them all night.”

As soon as Zhao Ke heard her voice, Zhao Ke immediately remembered, “You are Ruan Xiao! Isn’t it?” Ruan Xiao always played the board in a sweet style when she was on TV, and her long chestnut hair was gentle and cute. This time, the hair was dyed back to black, and the dark red lips were paired with a black velvet slim dress, which almost made Zhao Ke, a straight man, not recognize him.

“Why are you here?”

Ruan Xiao raised his chin to the right, “I came with my dad.”

A group of wealthy businessmen gathered at the other end, and Zhao Ke immediately understood, “Are you Ruan Zhengting’s daughter?”

She shrugged and smiled brightly, “You are Zhao Ju’s son.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t,” Zhao Ke was most afraid that others would put a hat on him, so he chatted too vigorously, and suddenly remembered Zhou Ziheng’s request, “Oh, by the way, have you seen Xia Xiqing?”

“Xia Xiqing?” Ruan Xiao was a little surprised, “You mean Xi Qing who recorded the show with me?”

“Yes.” Zhao Ke looked around again, “I saw him just now, maybe he was invited as a painter. He was drinking in the rest area just now, and there was a man in a wine-red suit I chatted up with him, and when I turned my head, I didn’t see anyone.”

Ruan Xiao’s face suddenly became a little ugly, “Wine red suit, are you talking about a man who is about our age?”

“Yeah. He’s the only one who wears the most coquettish bag in the audience, and the smell of the perfume is so overwhelming.”

A person walked by, Ruan Xiao pretended to wrap Zhao Ke’s arm affectionately, and said in a low voice, “You may not know this person, his name is Wei Min, and he has a very bad reputation in our circle.”

Zhao Ke’s face became hot, and he didn’t quite hear what Ruan Xiao said, so Ruan Xiao took him to a place with few people, and before he recovered, Ruan Xiao let him go.

“His private life is very messy, he can take all men and women, and he likes to support celebrities and Internet celebrities.”

He heard it clearly this time, recalling Wei Min’s attentiveness just now, he frowned, “But this… Xia Xiqing has nothing to do if he doesn’t agree.”

“That’s what I’m worried about.” Ruan Xiao’s expression was solemn, “He basically did it by force, using some very infamous methods.”

“Fuck, then I have to find Xia Xiqing quickly.”

“I’m with you.”

Zhao Ke was a dumbass, and didn’t realize that Ruan Xiao didn’t ask why he was looking for Xia Xiqing, nor how Ruan Xiao knew him, so he followed Ruan Xiao around the Zhong family’s mansion, and they all went around to the small garden inside.

Xia Xiqing originally wanted to get rid of Wei Min and go to the viewing platform on the pretext of smoking, but Wei Min refused to give up and took out his cigar to show his hospitality. Although he is a rich second generation, but due to family reasons, he rarely attends such occasions. Many people don’t even know that Xia Yunkai’s son is him.

“I’ve seen your paintings, they are really good.” Wei Min took the initiative to bring him a glass of wine, “I admire talented people the most.”

Seeing that he talks about paintings, he probably thinks that he is an invited internet celebrity artist.

Xia Xiqing smiled and rejected the blue cocktail in his hand without saying a word.

“So you don’t like to drink cocktails, that’s right, this kind of wine tastes like sugar water, it’s boring.” He put the glass of wine on the counter and handed the cigar to him, “This is exciting, Flyed in from the Dominica on a private jet, try it.”

Said that the rich man was not wronged at all, Xia Xi smiled lightly, did not speak, the cigarettes were all close to his hand, and he didn’t bother to push any more, he pinched his fingers, raised his hand and let Wei Min light the cigarette for him, the orange spark lit up Off again, he thanked me gently.

“I heard Director Kun said that you are the second male lead in “Tracking”,” Wei Min smiled, “That’s right, you probably don’t know, you weren’t there when the last game was held, and you were still the female lead at that time , I voted for the movie “Tracking”…”

“So?” Xia Xiqing raised his eyes, the strong aroma of cigars reverberated in his head, he lazily puffed out the smoke, and the peach blossom eyes in the smoke were full of charm and obvious contempt.

Wei Min was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t expect him to ask back, “Ah… I mean, I don’t know if you have time in the middle of the night. Although I don’t know much about art, I like all beautiful things, which are pleasing to the eye. I want to make a mural at home, but I wonder if Master Xia can do me a favor and help me as a staff member.” He laughed and put his arms around Xia Xiqing’s shoulders, “If I could lend you your hand, it would be Peng It’s glowing.”

Ruan Xiao and Zhao Ke, who searched the Zhong Zhai all over, finally saw Xia Xiqing’s back on the third floor, but when they got closer, they found that Wei Min put his arms around Xia Xiqing’s shoulders, looking very intimate from behind, Zhao Ke hesitated After a while, Ruan Xiao pulled her to the back of the stained glass door opposite the rooftop.

“Why are you hiding?”

“My family is urging me to get married now.” Ruan Xiao pouted, “If someone sees me following Wei Min and thinks I’m interested in him, if someone is free and has nothing to do to match us up, I’ll be screwed. “

Then the two of us…Zhao Ke looked at Ruan Xiao who was grabbing his arm, his Adam’s apple rolled, and finally he didn’t speak, and decided to get down to business first, “Then what, Xia Xiqing is so intimate with him, it must be true. Bar…”

“No, Xiqing is not that kind of person.” Ruan Xiao looked over through the glass door, but Xia Xiqing did not push him away.

There was a click, the sound of the shutter, Ruan Xiao turned around and looked at Zhao Ke holding up the phone, “What are you doing?”

“I’ll take a picture and send it to Heng Heng.”

“Why did you show him?” Ruan Xiao questioned his soul.

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, “Yes, why.”

The two were silent for two seconds, and suddenly asked at the same time, “Are you doing self-study?”

Fuck, they are really like-minded people. Ruan Xiao patted Zhao Ke on the shoulder, “Okay, we are friends now.”

What unfolds. Zhao Ke’s phone vibrated a few times, and when he turned it on, it turned out to be Zhou Ziheng.

[Hengheng: What’s going on here? ]

[Hengheng: Who is the person hugging him? ]

[Hengheng: Didn’t you tell me that you watched it for me? ]

Zhao Ke also became angry, and typed back to him.

[Ke Zi: Fuck, brother Heng, you are not authentic, I am helping you to watch, this is Xia Xiqing himself willing to be hugged by others, I might rush up to break the man’s hand, and even rush at him Cursed, “Come on, this is my brother’s man.” Bah, look at what I said, who are you Xia Xiqing. ]

Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a while when he received such a long list.

Yes, who is Xia Xiqing?

He is willing to be hugged and hugged, what can he do. Not to mention Zhao Ke, even if he was present, he couldn’t say a word to the person holding him, this is mine.

Seeing that Zhou Ziheng didn’t reply for a long time, Zhao Ke panicked and felt that what he said was too harsh, but he really couldn’t figure out why Zhou Ziheng was so nervous when Xia Xiqing was such an adult.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his chaotic brain.

Fuck me.

Fuck Fuck Fuck.

He stared blankly at Ruan Xiao.

“You said, we won’t get the truth, right?”

This cigar makes one sick to the stomach.

Or maybe the person in front of him was too disgusting. Xia Xiqing couldn’t take it anymore, so he lifted Wei Min’s hand from his body, put the unfinished cigar into the glass of blue cocktail, and said coldly.

“You can’t afford me.”

The expression on Wei Min’s face changed. Seeing that he was so ignorant, he immediately became angry, but Xia Xiqing’s face was really to his liking. He had glimpsed it in the clouds and water before, and thought about it for a long time. He didn’t expect to meet him here. He is naturally unwilling to let it go.

Pushing his tongue against the inside of his mouth, Wei Min adjusted the neckline of his suit, “Painter Xia, go out and find out what status I, Wei Min, have in Beijing, and I won’t even give a good face to any number of people coming to me. .I hold you like this because I want to make friends with you, and you don’t want to be an artist with me, just to get acquainted with it.”

The corner of Xia Xiqing’s mouth twitched and he sneered.

“make friends?”

His face turned completely cold.

“You deserve it too?”

After finishing speaking, Xia Xiqing turned around and walked straight out of the rooftop.

Seeing that Xia Xiqing was ready to come out, Zhao Ke was afraid of revealing his secrets, but Ruan Xiao was calmer, and pulled Zhao Ke’s coat around half a circle, making him turn his back on Xia Xiqing, and Zhao Ke was blocking him, pretending to be a couple Couple hugging.

“Shall we follow?” Ruan Xiao let go of her hand and stared at Xia Xiqing all the way. She didn’t hear Zhao Ke’s response. She looked up and saw that Zhao Ke was staring at herself in a daze.

“Hello.”

“Go, go now, go forward one after another, non-stop.” Zhao Ke started talking nonsense as soon as he panicked, which made Ruan Xiao laugh, “You’re quite talented, let’s go.”

Xia Xiqing’s nausea wasn’t over yet, he was dizzy when he went downstairs, he saw Ruan Xiao just now, she was with the young man who had been peeping at him, and he didn’t know what he was busy with, Originally wanted to say hello, but seeing that she was obviously hiding from him, Xia Xiqing went down the steps to avoid embarrassment. I thought about going to the bathroom first, and then pretending to meet her by chance when I came back to say hello to her, and then go straight home.

This dinner was just plain boring and sullied the name of art.
