The eyes of Ouyang Zhiyi and Shen Leming collided in mid-air, and then staggered.
Shen Leming seemed to have received hints and encouragement, and became more emotional, winking wildly. As soon as Ouyang Zhi turned his head, he said to Cheng Yan, "What's the matter with this man?"
Cheng Yan picked the grilled fish carefully: "You still don't understand what's going on?"
Ouyang Zhi smiled, and suddenly asked: "Have you thought it through?"
With one heavy movement of Cheng Yan's hands, the chopsticks poked the tender meat on the belly of the fish. Ouyang's words are exactly the continuation of the "you have to think clearly" back then. I don't know if his memory is really so good, or that event is so unforgettable.
"I thought you came to apologize to me." Cheng Yan finally said.
Ouyang took a sip of his wine and smiled: "I want to apologize sincerely. But I have to figure out where I am wrong and how much I am wrong."
When Ouyang Zhi asked him to accompany the producer, and Mr. Yang asked him to accompany Xia Shaoqian, the nature is actually the same. Cheng Yan's acceptance of Xia Shaoqian is enough to show that he is not noble in nature.
There was a tense silence between the two of them alone at the noisy dinner table.
Cheng Yan remembered that Xia Shaoqian hugged him and said "I love you" in the morning, and he said it very naturally and fluently while he was half asleep and half awake.
But in the eyes of outsiders, this is not love, but a stain.
Cheng Yan gently put down his chopsticks: "I understand what you mean. I'm really not a good person. I only dived when I saw it. Then? Even if I'm mean, it can't prove that you were not wrong at that time."
"My biggest mistake is that I shouldn't ruin your mind."
Ouyang Zhiyi filled a glass of wine for Cheng Yan: "Fortunately, you are a smart person, I am so happy."
This happy sentence was said so solemnly that even Cheng Yan couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
He raised his glass to Cheng Yan: "What kind of good people and bad people, clean and dirty, forget about it all. I respect smart people for smart people."
Cheng Yan drank the glass of wine.
It seems that it is very simple to use Xia Shaoqian's hand to make Ouyang Zhiyi bad. But he doesn't want to. No matter how much he hates Ouyang, Ouyang is still in the same line of work as him, and he is still a powerful figure in this line of work. If Xia Shaoqian dealt with Ouyang as easily as pinching an ant, Cheng Yan felt that he would probably hurt him.
In the evening, Cheng Yan took the initiative to open a bottle of champagne.
Xia Shaoqian asked him: "What is there to be happy about?"
Cheng Yan thought about it. Xia Shaoqian didn't know that there were so many twists and turns between himself and Ouyang Zhiyi, he only knew that he had a crush on Ouyang, and if he said "reconcile with Ouyang", it would be a joke.
"It's nothing, I'm just in a good mood." Serving Xia Shaoqian a drink, he showed him the photos he took.
Xia Shaoqian put on his glasses on purpose, and looked carefully at each one. Cheng Yan leaned against the sofa, his eyes fixed on Xia Shaoqian unconsciously. Under the soft lighting, Xia Shaoqian's facial features are very three-dimensional and beautiful, coupled with that focused expression, there is a sense of beauty that completely surpasses his age.
Really lovely people, whether they are twenty, forty, or sixty, are always lovely. To love and be loved is not surprising at all.
Xia Shaoqian suddenly raised his eyes: "This one..." He looked right through Cheng Yan's eyes in an instant.
Cheng Yan hurriedly drank to cover up: "What?"
Xia Shaoqian pulled him to his side and kissed his forehead: "If you want to see it, you can look at it generously. What are you hiding? When will I not let you see it?"
"I was just thinking that you must have been a very handsome old man when you were sixty years old." Cheng Yan put the wine away, and reached out to touch Xia Shaoqian's brow bone.
"Get rid of the old man." Xia Shao raised his head modestly and kissed his fingers, "What trick did you figure out?"
"Bones are the key to determine a person's beauty and ugliness. Your bones are well-grown, your outline is deep, and you will look energetic when you grow old." Cheng Yan said seriously.
Xia Shaoqian followed Cheng Yan's example, touching Cheng Yan's brow bone to the bridge of his nose: "It's only a little bit worse than me."
Cheng Yan smiled.
Xia Shaoqian's wealth will only increase in twenty years. His appearance could not be younger and more beautiful.
Because of this sudden sadness, Cheng Yan kissed Xia Shaoqian, and finally took the initiative to say the phrase I love you.
But Xia Shaoqian didn't realize that this sentence of love was different from other times, he quickly mentioned another thing: "There will be a party in two days, come with me."
Cheng Yan would occasionally go out with him, and almost everyone in Xia Shaoqian's current social circle knew that Cheng Yan was his companion. But larger scenes cannot be taken out.
The one I often go to is the club for exchanging and appreciating antiques, Baoxianghui. Xia Shaoqian has a position in the association, and he himself has a strong interest in antiques, so he often participates in activities. Just at the end of the year, during the year-end meeting, Xia Shaoqian exchanged a Song Dynasty jade lump for a picture of a lady.
Cheng Yan was an outsider, so he asked him if the exchange was worth it.
Xia Shaoqian just laughed: "If it is to preserve and increase the value, it will be auctioned, and it will not be exchanged. It is just a hobby."
Probably because he really got something he likes, Xia Shaoqian also talked a lot. Cheng Yan knew his personality, usually he didn't talk much, but when he met something he was interested in, he was very good at talking.
"...that's what my father taught me."
Cheng Yan listened quietly.
"Whenever he has free time, he enjoys those bottles and cans by himself, and the ones who talk to me most are those treasures." Xia Shaoqian smiled, "Only in that way can we avoid arguing with my mother."
Cheng Yan pieced together the scattered information about his parents that Xia Shaoqian mentioned, and he knew that his parents' relationship was not harmonious. His father is smart and knowledgeable, and his mother can be regarded as versatile, but because of their personalities and beliefs, the two always have more conflicts and less love.
After Xia Shaoqian went back, he unfolded the picture and showed it to Cheng Yan.
Ink and wash paintings focus on meaning rather than form, and the ladies in the paintings only have moving expressions. After watching it for a long time, Cheng Yan felt that he could see a bit refined and charming. Xia Shaoqian added: "My father saw this picture in a book, and he showed it to me at the time, saying 'I saw your mother for the first time, and I thought she was so charming'..."
Cheng Yan looked at Xia Shaoqian's expression when he said this, and indescribable emotions slowly welled up in his heart, which made him finally convinced that he loved Xia Shaoqian, very, very much.
