The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else

Chapter 17: Talented painter

Views:

"Go, go to Hawaii?" Lu Shijin didn't react for a while, and was a little dazed.

Huo Qi nodded, he thought that Lu Shijin was so happy that he couldn't even speak, and he believed that Lu Shijin loved him so much that he couldn't help himself.

"I remember you have been to the United States before, your visa has not expired, right?"

Lu Shijin shook his head blankly.

Huo Qi: "That's good, get ready, we'll set off the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow?" Lu Shijin said, "So suddenly?"

Damn, I didn't care about my answer before, and I suddenly want to go on a trip together, which made me unprepared at all.

"Is it too early or too late?" Huo Qi smiled, "If you want to stay with me for one more day, I can change the ticket to tomorrow night."

Lu Shijin: "..." Is this the fucking point? The point is that the person who accompanied you to Hawaii was wrong!

"Little assistant! Little assistant!" Lu Shijin urgently called 711, "Did Huo Qi change his role under the skin? Or is he out of his mind?"

711 lazily said: "Neither, the data shows that Huo Qi's favorability towards Ruan Siheng has dropped slightly, while his favorability towards you has skyrocketed."

Lu Shijin understood, "It turns out that the dog wants to enjoy the blessings of everyone!"

I haven't seen him for three months, so naturally he feels fresh, especially after hitting a wall with Bai Yueguang, I feel that he is easy to control.

711 reminded: "Don't forget your mission."

Lu Shijin sneered: "Of course I haven't forgotten, where is the plot going now?"

711: "It's already halfway through, and it's about to enter a small climax. Ruan Siheng was framed for plagiarism, and then he fought back and slapped him in the face. When the plot is over, the progress bar for the audience's satisfaction is almost halfway up."

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Lu Shijin said, "I'm afraid the word "fraud" is wrong?"

711: "... Anyway, you have to cooperate when the time comes. Ruan Siheng is the protagonist. If the protagonist's character design collapses, this drama will be scrapped."

Lu Shijin said that there was nothing wrong with it, but he dismissed it in his heart.

Huo Qi saw that Lu Shijin had been leaving him alone, neither saying yes nor no, his face turned cold.

"Don't you want to go?"

Lu Shijin came back to his senses, concealed his unhappiness, and showed a bright smile, "Of course not, I want to go, as long as I'm with you, I'm happy to go anywhere!"

The smile returned to Huo Qi's face, "Then let's just say that, I'll send a car to pick you up from the apartment for the plane the day after tomorrow afternoon."

It seems that Huo Qi didn't know that Lu Shi moved out of the apartment he bought this morning, so Lu Shijin quickly said, "Don't bother, let's meet at the airport?"

Huo Qi did not doubt that there was him, "That's fine."

"Then... I'm going back first?" Lu Shijin felt that there was something wrong with Huo Qi who couldn't tell today, and planned to slip away first and then think of countermeasures.

If it wasn't for Ruan Siheng's urging, Huo Qi would go to see him soon, Huo Qi really didn't want to let Lu Shijin go so soon.

Still feel comfortable when staying with Lu Shijin.

Huo Qi stood up and wanted to send Lu Shijin off, "I'll send you a car."

Lu Shijin waved his hand and refused: "Farewell, it's convenient to take a taxi here. I'll just stop by the side of the road and I'll go back. Why waste your time to send me off on purpose. I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything."

Seeing that Lu Shijin insisted, Huo Qi didn't push anymore, and felt that Lu Shijin was sensible and considerate, and thought of him.

After leaving the restaurant, Lu Shijin was thinking about something on his mind, and when he was walking, his head was sullen, and he accidentally bumped his shoulder with a passer-by who was approaching him.

The passer-by was wearing a peaked cap and a mask, with a pair of eyes exposed on his entire face.

I don't know if I just like this kind of dress, or I am afraid of being recognized by others.

Passers-by and Lu Shijin looked up at the same time, and said "sorry" at the same time.

After that, Lu Shijin continued to walk forward without paying attention, while the passerby stared at Lu Shijin's back thoughtfully for a long time.

After Lu Shijin walked away, he took off his hat and mask, and walked into the western restaurant where Huo Qi was.

"Siheng, you are here."

Huo Qi laughed awkwardly. Today he lied to Ruan Siheng that he had made an appointment with a painter to discuss cooperation. Just now Ruan Siheng asked him which restaurant he ate at, and he casually reported the name of the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Siheng actually said that he was nearby, and he also wanted to chat with the painter, but before Huo Qi could find an excuse to shirk, Ruan Siheng had already arrived at the door of the restaurant.

We can only be thankful that Lu Shijin had already left at that time, otherwise Huo Qi could imagine how tragic the scene of the car rollover would be if he was hit by two people.

Ruan Siheng responded lightly, and sat down where Lu Shijin had just sat. Huo Qi asked the waiter to take away the finished dinner plate on the table, and only put two glasses of water.

Ruan Sihengsheng's skin is fair, and his eyes and nose are especially similar to Lu Shijin's, but he can see the difference if he looks closely.

Ruan Siheng's eyelids are thin, and there is a faint mole under the end of the eye. When he is not smiling, the end of the eye is draped, and he looks especially cold-hearted.

"Where's the painter?" Ruan Siheng asked directly.

Huo Qi: "Unfortunately, he just left when you finished sending me the message, saying that something happened at home."

Ruan Siheng took a deep look at him, and took Huo Qi seriously.

But he could only force himself to be calm, and continued to say as if nothing had happened: "Maybe you met when you came in."

Ruan Siheng picked up his cup and took a sip of water, "I didn't meet anyone."

Huo Qi was secretly relieved when he heard this.

Ruan Siheng asked again: "What about painting?"

Huo Qi smiled wryly, from the time he came in until now, all the words Ruan Siheng said were only about the painting he wanted, and he never cared about him.

But he is used to it. In Ruan Siheng's life, the pursuit of art is always above everything else.

But he didn't know if he would suddenly be unable to bear it anymore.

He is the future heir of the Huo family, and the burden of the family rests on him. Those old antiques will never accept him being with a man.

Huo Yan knows that his son likes men, so he can turn a blind eye to him whenever he plays tricks.

But if Huo Qi dares to come out publicly and make the Huo family die, Huo Qi is sure that his father and grandfather will cancel his inheritance rights.

Ruan Siheng would not understand these pressures, let alone take them to heart.

Huo Qi didn't want to tell him about his difficulties, because maybe telling him would only make Ruan Siheng feel useless.

Disappointment and resentment are accumulated little by little, and when they accumulate to a certain point, they will collapse and explode.

Of course, the current Huo Qi still has expectations for Ruan Siheng, and feels that if he helps Ruan Siheng find his inspiration, Ruan Siheng will be able to focus on him.

"Here, are you satisfied with looking at it?"

Huo Qi took out all the paintings to Ruan Siheng, and only after Ruan Siheng received them did he remember what Lu Shijin said.

The "Walking by the Sea" was a gift from Lu Shijin.

Huo Qi immediately wanted to take the painting back from Ruan Siheng, but Ruan Siheng had already taken the painting in his hand before he did.

And he seemed to be very interested in this painting, holding it in his hand and looking at it.

Going back to painting at this time might make Ruan Siheng suspicious.

Huo Qi's determination to take back the painting was shaken in an instant, since it was just a painting anyway, there was no need to be unhappy with Ruan Siheng because of this.

After a long time, Ruan Siheng raised his head, his face was a little dignified, "Is this painting also painted by that artist?"

Huo Qi felt guilty for some reason, but his face remained calm, "Yes, these are all done by him alone."

Ruan Siheng didn't ask any more questions, put away the painting and smiled at Huo Qi, "Thank you Huo Qi, I made you worry about my affairs."

Huo Qi was a little elated when he got the smile of Bai Yueguang who was thinking about it.

I feel that no matter how much pressure I bear, it is worth it.

But because this is a public place, it's not a place to express your feelings.

He had no choice but to lower his voice, and implicitly revealed his feelings to Ruan Siheng: "There is no need to say thank you between you and me, I am willing to do it for you."

Lu Shijin walked to the side of the road and was about to wave for a car when suddenly a silver sports car stopped precisely in front of him.

It's Huo Lian's car.

Lu Shijin opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, leaning his hands on the window and tilting his head to look at him.

"What? You've been around all this time?" Lu Shijin asked amusedly, "Are you watching? Afraid I'll cuckold you?"

Huo Lian stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car rushed out. Lu Shijin was so frightened that he quickly put on his seat belt.

Seeing Huo Lian's tense facial expression, Lu Shijin knew that the man was in a very bad mood.

However, Huo Lian was the one holding the steering wheel, and Lu Shijin's life was in his hands, so he had no choice but to say "what's going on again" in a low voice.

Indeed, as Lu Shijin suspected, after Huo Lian sent him off, he didn't immediately drive around the neighborhood.

I went around a few times and thought a lot.

Although Huo Lian and Huo Qi are uncles and nephews in seniority, Huo Lian is actually only one year older than Huo Qi.

However, the environment in which the two grew up was very different.

As the grandson of Huo's parents, Huo Qi has been doted on in every possible way since he was a child.

It is said that old man Huo is a kind grandfather in front of his grandson.

But in front of Huo Lian, his own son, he was always very strict, and always felt that Huo Lian was not motivated enough.

Huo Qi has never been short of playmates by his side, and he hugged and flattered him.

Huo Lian could only stand alone, watching others play. He didn't understand it before, and wanted to integrate into it.

But when he heard those children laughing behind his back as a "wild child without a mother" or an "illegitimate child", he understood that children are sometimes as malicious as adults.

Huo Lian and Huo Qi have been in the same grade and school from kindergarten to high school. No matter where they go, Huo Qi is the most dazzling existence.

The teachers love him, and the classmates love him.

Later, someone found out that Huo Lian and Huo Qi looked very similar, and they both had the surname Huo. They wondered if they were brothers.

He felt that if Huo Qi was so good, then Huo Lian would definitely be good, so some students tried to make friends with Huo Lian, which made Huo Lian happy for a long time.

But later, I don't know who was talking too much, and revealed that Huo Lian was the illegitimate child of the Huo family.

Since then, no one has been willing to approach Huo Lian. Instead, they have all kinds of strange gazes and pointing fingers.

It wasn't until he and Huo Qi were admitted to different universities that they finally didn't have to live in Huo Qi's shadow.

So he hates the Huo family and everyone in the Huo family. One day, he will make those who look down on him pay the price.

The reason why Huo Lian agreed to Lu Shijin's ridiculous bet to be his boyfriend.

On the one hand, he wanted to use Lu Shijin to deal with Huo Qi, and on the other hand, only he himself knew the reason.

Lu Shijin once loved Huo Qi so ardently, Huo Lian wanted Lu Shijin to understand that he loved the wrong person, and wanted to prove that he would not lose to Huo Qi.

When Huo Qi knew that his little lover was crying and begging for mercy every night, Huo Lian couldn't help feeling a sense of joy.

Little stand-in, he doesn't love you anymore, what he loves now is me.

But he was also worried that if Lu Shijin was with him, there would be another possibility.

The car drove to an open road, and suddenly braked and pulled over.

Lu Shijin scolded in horror: "Huo Lian, are you crazy?"

Huo Lian suddenly unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over, and pinched Lu Jinjin's chin to force him to look at him.

Huo Lian's eyes were dark and dark, and there was no light in them. .

"Lu Shijin, tell me, when you look at me, who are you thinking about?"
