Chapter 2: Talented painter

Views:

It only took fifteen minutes to walk to the school gate, and the car that came to pick up Lu Shijin hadn't arrived yet.

While waiting for the bus, Lu Shijin was bored.

"Convenience store, open your system store, let me see what's in it."

Just along the way, 711 tried hard to ask Lu Shijin to respect its dignity as a system, and not to give it such a cheap-sounding nickname.

But Lu Shijin said that calling it this way can show intimacy, and besides, 711 is originally a convenience store, so it can only be blamed for taking the wrong number.

711 no fuck said.

711 pulled out the system mall panel, which contained various skill cards.

Some of them know how to use just by looking at the name, such as "Little Master Cooking Card", "Sound into Heart Card", "Glamorous Halo Card" and so on;

Others should be skill cards, such as "hypnotism card", "mind reading card", "amnestic card" and so on;

There are also some that are more strange. They are in a gray locked state, seem to be unusable, and have strange names, such as "Peerless Martial Arts Cheats", "Extreme Immortal Mental Techniques", "Dark Magic Collection"...

Lu Shijin asked 711: "What do these gray cards mean?"

711: "The card is gray, which means it cannot be used in the current scenario."

Lu Shijin understands that each plot has a different background, and the cards are used in accordance with the background setting.

It's the same reason that you can't shout "Avada Kedavra" to gods and monsters with a magic wand in the world of cultivating immortals.

After browsing the system mall, Lu Shijin said succinctly: "A mind-reading card, arrange it."

711 was startled, the mind reading technique was used before the plot started, so hasty

"The mind-reading card is only valid for 6 hours once, and there are only five opportunities to use the card for free. Host, don't you think about it?"

Lu Shijin: "Don't think about it. If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Have you never heard of this idiom?"

711 could only laugh dryly, "Hehe, I've heard of it."

But I was weeping in my heart, it's over, following this host, I can foresee that it will be difficult to "unify" in the future!

"The mind-reading card has been redeemed, the number of uses is 1, it will take effect immediately, and it will expire after six hours. After using it, you can read the other person's inner thoughts by looking directly into the other person's eyes."

As soon as the card was redeemed, Secretary Hao's car stopped at the school gate.

Secretary Hao got out of the car. He was about thirty years old, his hair was combed neatly, and his face with Chinese characters was rigid, like an emotionless doll.

"Hello, Secretary Hao."

711 was amazed at the host's acting skills. The moment before, he still had the world-weary face of "I'm upset, don't mess with me". The moment he saw Secretary Hao, he returned to the innocent and harmless original host.

Secretary Hao took a look at Lu Shijin, was indifferent to Lu Shijin's bright smile, and helped him open the car door expressionlessly.

"Hi Mr. Lu, please get in the car, Mr. Huo is waiting for you at Yu Garden."

[The little stand-in doesn't know what he's about to face, if you know that the person Mr. Huo puts on top of his heart is back, can you still laugh?]

Hearing the words in Secretary Hao's heart, Lu Shijin paused the hand pulling the car door, raised his chin and stared at Secretary Hao with a half-smile.

"What's wrong, Mr. Lu, is there anything else?"

Secretary Hao was stared at by Lu Shijin so frightened, was he dazzled

He actually saw a trace of pity in Lu Shijin's eyes.

[No, why would I need pity, the little stand-in is the poor guy who was kept in the dark.]

[It's just something that Mr. Huo teased on a whim, heh, it's not even the canaries raised by ordinary funders.]

Secretary Hao complained in his heart expressionlessly, but he didn't know that Lu Shijin heard clearly what was in his heart.

"It's okay." Lu Shijin's mouth twitched into a playful smile, and he glanced at the man from top to bottom, showing appreciation in his eyes, "I just think Secretary Hao, you are very handsome today. Are you exercising recently? You are in good shape Woolen cloth."

The surprise in Secretary Hao's eyes flashed past.

[The little stand-in used to be full of Mr. Huo, why did he suddenly praise me today? It seems that my charm is not inferior to Mr. Huo's.]

But as a professional secretary, you have to be both flattering and humiliating.

"I follow Mr. Huo. I am usually very busy at work and have no time to exercise. If Mr. Lu has nothing else to do, we can set off."

[The little stand-in has good eyesight, but unfortunately, he's just a brainless vase.]

Secretary Hao closed the car door for Lu Shijin, and returned to the driver's cab with his chest raised up like a proud rooster.

He didn't notice the sneer slowly emerging from Lu Shijin's lips behind him.

I don't know what I'm about to face, it's you guys.

According to the original plot, the relationship between Lu Shijin and Huo Qi changed after Ruan Siheng returned to China.

Because Ruan Siheng suffered some blows abroad, his mind went blank when he picked up the paintbrush, and he could no longer paint a stroke of oil paint on the canvas.

By chance, Ruan Siheng went to Huo Qi's house as a guest and saw the paintings left by Lu Shijin.

Lu Shijin's talent in painting is not inferior to that of Ruan Siheng, and he thinks that he is in love with Huo Qi, and the love with Huo Qi is the source of all his inspiration.

Lu Shijin's works are bold and novel in creativity, with strong emotions and distinctive personal characteristics.

Inspiration is the life of an artist.

And this is exactly what Ruan Siheng needs and desires most at present.

Ruan Siheng asked Huo Qi who painted these paintings. He liked the things expressed in these paintings very much and wanted to communicate with the painter face to face.

Ruan Siheng is such a proud person, he will never allow anyone to treat others as his substitute.

Huo Qi understood that if Ruan Siheng knew about Lu Shijin's existence, there would be no relationship between him and Ruan Siheng.

Huo Qi naturally didn't tell the truth, but just told Ruan Siheng that the copyright of these paintings had already been bought by him, and if Ruan Siheng liked it, he could take it back for reference.

Ruan Siheng happily took away Lu Shijin's painting, and Huo Qi was also very happy that his favorability with Ruan Siheng soared.

Only Lu Shijin was kept in the dark.

Huo Qi still has a conscience. Although he took away Lu Shijin's painting and gave it to Ruan Siheng, he didn't want to take it for nothing.

He and Lu Shijin proposed that they were willing to buy the copyrights of Lu Shijin's paintings at the contracted price of the first-class painters in the circle.

But Lu Shijin was just a fool who was dazzled by love at that time, he thought that his lover liked his paintings, and thought that he had found a confidant, so he was not willing to ask for Huo Qi's money.

Lu Shijin confusedly acted as a gunman for Ruan Siheng, until Ruan Siheng was reported by his opponent for plagiarizing other people's ideas. The media followed the clues and dug up Lu Shijin who was still studying, and compared their works.

It can be said that the inspiration of a work collides by chance, but it cannot be justified if all of them collide.

Lu Shijin had never encountered such a thing before, he was so frightened that he could only cry with Huo Qi.

But he didn't know that his tears were worthless in Huo Qi's eyes, and they were not worth as much as Ruan Siheng frowning.

Huo Qi said: "Nowadays, go and clarify with the media that Ruan Siheng did not plagiarize, these works were completed by you together."

Lu Shijin couldn't believe that Huo Qi would make such a request to him.

Lu Shijin: "Why? But he did plagiarize my works! You have seen those paintings before, and I gave them to you!"

"I know, since I sent it to me, I have the right to do anything with it, right? I gave your painting to Ruan Siheng."

"You are a good boy, you should know the seriousness. Ruan Siheng managed to regain his strength, and I will not allow anyone to ruin him."

Huo Qi's voice was so cold that Lu Shijin felt as if he had never known this person before.

Lu Shijin really wanted to ask him: what about me? You just have the heart to destroy me

Lu Shijin's crying and crying only made Huo Qi feel upset, he was anxious to finish dealing with Lu Shijin, and then go to comfort his Bai Yueguang.

Huo Qi's expression was indifferent: "Nowadays, Ruan Siheng doesn't know that those paintings are yours. He didn't mean it. If there is a mistake, it's my fault. I will make it up to you. Didn't you always want to study abroad? As long as you help Ruan Siheng this time , the best school, the best teacher, I will arrange for you."

Although Lu Shijin was innocent, he also understood what Huo Qi meant.

Threats and lures, two prongs, Huo Qi really can do anything for Ruan Siheng.

Even though Lu Shijin was unwilling, Huo Qi's methods were so powerful that he couldn't resist at all.

All these years, everything about him has been controlled by Huo Qi. If he doesn't agree, Huo Qi only needs to move a finger if he wants to deal with him.

Then his studies, his dreams, including his love, all came to naught.

Secretary Hao sent Lu Shijin to the hotel, and Huo Qi waited for Lu Shijin in the restaurant on the top floor.

Taking the elevator upstairs, 711 told Lu Shijin worriedly: "Don't do anything that hurts the protagonist, otherwise the plot of this world will collapse, and your mission will never be completed."

Lu Shijin: "Do you think I'm someone who acts recklessly?"

711: The baby feels like it, but the baby dare not say it.

Facts have proved that 711's worries are completely unnecessary.

The moment he opened the door of the box and saw Huo Qi, Lu Shijin had transformed into an infatuated little white rabbit just like the original owner.

"Huo Qi, I'm here, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Huo Qi was sitting at the dining table, lowering his head and sending messages with others.

Lu Shijin didn't feel that he was being treated coldly, so he pulled out his chair and sat down by himself, looking at this man without hesitation.

The tailor-made handmade suit wraps the man's strong figure, and every fold fits the man's smooth muscle curve.

As the protagonist, of course, Huo Qi also has a handsome face, deep eye sockets, high nose and thin lips, exuding the charm of a mature man.

It's no wonder that Lu Shijin slammed into Huo Qi's gentle trap.

After several minutes, Huo Qi finished sending messages with others, and finally raised his head and noticed Lu Shijin who was sitting opposite him.

Lu Shijin accurately captured the tender look in his eyes that hadn't had time to fade away.

[Ah Ruan finally came back, I can't wait to see him.]

Lu Shijin, who could hear Huo Qi's heartfelt voice, remained calm, and met Huo Qi's gaze with a smile like countless times before, his eyes full of love.

And Huo Qimei looked at this face that looked like Ruan Siheng, and his brows retracted without a trace.

A second later, the man looked away without hesitation.

[If the person sitting in front of me is Ah Ruan, how wonderful it would be.]

[If Ah Ruan looks at me like this, I'll be worth it even if I die.]

The author has something to say: Jinjin: Then you go to die :)
