Chapter 23: Talented painter

Views:

Huo Qi went back to the hotel angrily, but Lu Shi had gone to the room early this morning, no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do.

He made countless phone calls and sent countless text messages to Lu Shijin, all of which disappeared without a word.

During this period, Ruan Siheng also called him, and Huo Qi was upset and cut him off.

At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts about Lu Shijin and Huo Lian, how could he still want to get his promise to Ruan Siheng.

When did Lu Shijin hook up with Huo Lian

Airport? On the plane? Or in a bar

The two didn't seem to know each other at the airport. Could it be that they were really at the bar last night

But didn't Huo Lian ridicule Lu Shijin? How did the two of them get together

Huo Qi thought about it and only thought of one possibility.

Lu Shijin must be taking revenge on him for not admitting their relationship in front of Huo Lian last night at the bar.

While he was drunk, he got involved with his own uncle!

So when he was drunk and unconscious with Huo Lian in order to help Lu Shijin vent his anger.

But Lu Shijin betrayed him and was happy in bed with Huo Lian? !

Huo Qi was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were twisted together and hurt.

The lover he had raised for three years, Huo Lian fell asleep before he could even touch her. After sleeping last night, he went back to sleep this morning while he was away!

He felt that his head was covered by a green cloud, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were not as green as him!

What a shame!

Huo Qi now feels that as long as it is green, it is a kind of silent irony to him.

He threw all the green vases, plants, and decorations in the room to pieces, and it was not enough to relieve his anger. He just wanted to strangle the couple of dogs to death with his own hands.

Over there, Huo Lian was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and here Huo Lian led Lu Shijin to surf and ride a motorboat on a small island in Hawaii.

The sunny afternoon, the blue water, the golden beach, the two of them had a lot of fun.

Two days later, Huo Qi, who couldn't find Lu Shijin, returned home angrily.

At this time, the attacks on Ruan Siheng from all walks of life in China have become more intense, but Ruan Siheng has never stepped forward to make a statement.

No clarification or apology, just dragging on like this.

Ruan Siheng heard that Huo Qi had returned to China, so he went directly to the office of Huo Qi's company, and was surprised to find that Huo Qi was much more haggard than when they met before going abroad.

But Ruan Siheng himself was also in a state of desperation, so naturally he was not in the mood to ask Huo Qi what was going on.

"Huo Qi, have you contacted the person who sold you the paintings? What did he say? Did you tell him that I would pay twice as much for his paintings as long as he would stand up and speak out for me? Ruan Siheng sat down and didn't even bother to drink his saliva, and said anxiously, "There are always some strange people hanging around the door of my studio these days, and some people send me bloody clothes and razor blades. You think they want to What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?"

Huo Qi listened to Ruan Siheng's nagging complaints, lowered his head and swiped his phone irritably.

He was looking at the text messages he had sent to Lu Shijin these days.

[Lu Shijin where are you? Hurry up and answer the phone!]

[You've got some skills, Lu Shijin, I'm missing when I'm green, right? What kind of pot should match what kind of lid? Only a crappy pot like Huo Lian likes you with a crappy lid like you!]

[Where are you? ! answer the phone!]

[I'll give you a chance now. As long as you admit your mistake and promise to make a clean break with Huo Lian, I can consider forgiving you.]

[Ruan Siheng's matter, if you don't want to help, I won't force you, so give me a call back, okay?]

[If you have the ability, never let me find you!]

But no matter how he threatened or even gave in later, Lu Shijin never replied to him a single word.

"Huo Qi?" Seeing Huo Qi's distraught face, Ruan Siheng patted the sofa dissatisfied, "Are you listening to me?"

Huo Qi regained consciousness, his voice was a little hoarse due to dryness, "I'm listening."

Ruan Siheng: "You said you would help me with this matter, but it's been three or four days, have you thought of a solution?"

Huo Qi said lightly, "I'm thinking about it."

Ruan Siheng was anxious, "What do you mean thinking about it? Then you haven't thought about it yet? Are you talking big about your promise that day? I didn't take any action to wait for your news because I trusted you. Tell me now that you didn't Way, what do you want me to do? Don’t forget, you gave me those paintings back then, saying that I can do whatever I want!”

Huo Qi was already full of irritability because of Lu Shijin's affairs, now Ruan Siheng came to bother him again, and wanted to put all the responsibility on him, making him even more annoyed.

Huo Qi suddenly lost his patience with Ruan Siheng, and said coldly, "You mean it's all my fault? How would I know that you would copy other people's paintings? I gave the paintings to you, but I didn't follow you." hand forcing you to copy."

Just like Huo Qi can't hear the word "green", Ruan Siheng will explode like a cat whose tail has been stepped on when it hears the word "copy".

"Huo Qi! So you see me that way, too?" Ruan Siheng's fair skin turned red with anger, and he said in a trembling voice, "Do you also believe those who slander me on the Internet? Yes, I saw those paintings, but I just borrowed part of the ideas in it! Borrowing is not plagiarism! He, Lu Shijin, is not even ranked as a nobody in the painting world, so I will copy him? Who do you think I am?"

In fact, Huo Qi was only in a moment of anger just now, and he immediately regretted those words.

He was really obsessed, how could he say such serious things to Ruan Siheng.

"I'm sorry Siheng, I've been very irritable these days because my work is not going well, that's why I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry." Huo Qi apologized helplessly, "Don't worry, I've already been thinking of a solution, and I'm also Already in contact, I must be on your side, can you trust me?"

Ruan Siheng shook his head in disappointment, "Forget it, I was too naive. I thought you were my confidant, but I was wrong. You should know what kind of person I am. I have my pride and my pride. No one should trample on your dignity. It's not your business at first, since you're busy with work, I'll solve it myself, so I won't bother you."

After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out of Huo Qi's office.

Huo Qi stood up and chased for a few steps, trying to keep him, but a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart, making him stop in his tracks.

In the final analysis, it is because of Ruan Siheng that he and Lu Shijin have come to this point.

How could he be so stupid, obviously Lu Shijin is better than Ruan Siheng in everything, but why did he turn a blind eye to Lu Shijin back then, so persistently pursuing Ruan Siheng who didn't love him and had no affection for him

If Ruan Siheng didn't exist, he wouldn't have given Lu Shijin's painting to Ruan Siheng, and he wouldn't have discovered such a thing today.

Apart from his refusal to admit the relationship between the two, Lu Shijin must still be blaming himself for asking him to stand up and help Ruan Siheng clarify.

He is obviously the victim now, so what did he think at the time to make such a despicable request to him

Huo Qi had mixed emotions in his heart, both regret and guilt, what have you done, Huo Qi!

The two main characters, Huo Qi and Ruan Siheng, broke up after a quarrel, and Lu Shijin could clearly see it on the monitor.

Lu Shijin casually glanced at the barrage, all of which were dissatisfied comments on Ruan Siheng.

Of course, there are also a few bullet screens that feel sorry for Huo Qi's love for the wrong person, support Huo Lu CP, and hope that Lu Shijin can change his mind and forgive Huo Qi.

Lu Shijin also asked 711 to post a barrage for him.

[I'm sorry, it's the Holy Father's business to forgive him, and my task is to send him to see God.]

Ruan Siheng left Huo Qi's company, returned to the studio, hesitated again and again, and took out the "Picture of Walking by the Sea".

He held up the painting and aimed it at the light, a series of numbers faintly reflected in the blue paint of different shades, which were cell phone numbers.

Unless someone is naturally sensitive to paint color matching, no one will find out that there is still a mystery hidden in this painting.

Ruan Siheng dialed the number, and after three rings, a young and lazy voice answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, I'm Ruan Siheng."

Lu Shijin was not surprised at all: "You finally remembered to call me. I thought Huo Qi really listened to me and didn't give you that painting."

Ruan Siheng was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?" After three seconds of silence, he suddenly realized, "So you already knew it?!"

Lu Shijin sneered and said, "Yes, I knew about it when he first proposed to buy my paintings. Don't you already know about my existence?"

Ruan Siheng was at a loss for words when Lu Shijin poked at the center of the matter.

He had indeed known about Lu Shijin's existence for a long time, and at first he was just curious about what kind of person the author of the painting was, but Huo Qi kept covering it up and refused to let him know, so Ruan Siheng became suspicious.

That day when Huo Qi met Lu Shijin at the western restaurant, Ruan Siheng had already pretended to be there and waited for the rabbit.

After he saw Lu Shijin's face that resembled his own, many guesses arose in his heart.

Later, he received an anonymous text message, and the person who sent the text message told him exactly that Huo Qi regarded Lu Shijin as his substitute.

After reading the text message, Ruan Siheng was surprised by what Huo Qi did, but felt disgusted and disgusted.

No one is willing to be a substitute for others, and no one will think that there will be someone in this world who can replace themselves.

It's not that Ruan Siheng doesn't understand Huo Qi's thoughts for him, but because of Lu Shijin's existence, there is no possibility for him and Huo Qi.

He even hated Huo Qi sometimes, if it wasn't for Huo Qi's deliberate concealment, how could he find inspiration from the paintings of a humble double.

I also hated myself, lost all inspiration, and the things I drew were actually not even comparable to a stand-in.

But one step has been taken, and there is no turning back.

Once you look back, you will be ruined and never stand up.

Lu Shijin said slowly: "When I gave Huo Qi this painting back then, I told him not to give it to anyone else, but he forgot about it when he turned around and gave it to you. Sure enough, in his heart, you are the most important thing." .Since this is the case, I can’t waste the effort I put into painting this painting, Painter Ruan, don’t you?”

"Since you have expected that I will come to you, I won't say anything unnecessary. No one can help me now except you," Ruan Siheng said calmly, "You can put forward conditions as long as I can do it. I Knowing that you love Huo Qi very much, when this matter is over, I can guarantee that I will never appear in front of him again. "

"Hahahaha..." Lu Shijin seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed uncontrollably. It took a while to stop laughing, "You are wrong, I don't like that kind of scum. But right now, I really need your help. How about a deal?"

Ruan Siheng also went to the doctor in a hurry, so he agreed without thinking about it: "Tell me."

Lu Shijin: "There is a safe in Huo Qi's office, and there is a document in it. Get it for me, and I will clarify the plagiarism for you."

"What document?" Ruan Siheng still had reason and said vigilantly, "If it's something illegal..."

"Painter Ruan," Lu Shijin interrupted him with a smile, "You don't really think that this is a transaction and you have the capital to bargain, do you? Do you still have a choice now?"

Ruan Siheng suddenly felt that he had no confidence, yes, now he can only be controlled by Lu Shijin, and he has no choice.

Ruan Siheng pinched his palms hard with his nails to control his voice from trembling.

"Since it's a safe, how do I know the password?" Ruan Siheng objected.

Lu Shijin's tone was faint: "No, you know, think about it carefully. Also, only you and I know about this matter, and you can't tell the third person. Don't try to fool me. I'm better than you about what's in the safe. Clear. Painter Ruan, you don't have much time left, I only give you one day."

Ruan Siheng had no choice but to agree.

The next day, Ruan Siheng called Huo Qi and apologized to Huo Qi first. He was too impatient yesterday and had a bad attitude. I hope that the relationship between the two will not be affected by one unhappiness.

Now that Ruan Siheng has let go of his self-esteem, Huo Qi naturally will not give him this face, and turn things over by going down the steps.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Siheng proposed that he would like to come to Huoqi's company in the afternoon to talk about how to solve the matter.

On the phone, although Huo Qi hesitated for a few seconds to respond, he finally agreed.

Ruan Siheng has been thinking about the password of the safe, Huo Qi has never told himself about the safe, why would Lu Shijin firmly say that he knows the password

Is the password related to him

Ruan Siheng suddenly remembered that he had been to Huo Qi's apartment, and Huo Qi standing at the door that day also asked himself to guess the code of his combination lock, Ruan Siheng still felt baffled at first.

It wasn't until Huo Qi said that the password was his birthday that he realized that Huo Qi was hinting his intentions to himself.

Huo Qi likes him. Could it be that the password of the safe is also set as his birthday

With all kinds of doubts, Ruan Siheng went to Huoqi's company in the afternoon.

Huo Qi's attitude towards him was obviously not as affectionate as before, and occasionally he would look at him deeply.

But Ruan Siheng was eager to complete the task, even if he noticed something different about Huo Qi, he had no time to take care of it.

After sitting in Huo Qi's office for a while, an assistant informed Huo Qi to go to a meeting.

Huo Qi asked Ruan Siheng if he wanted to go first, but Ruan Siheng said that he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well stay and wait for Huo Qi to have dinner together at night.

Huo Qi took a deep look at Ruan Siheng.

Ruan Siheng had a ghost in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw it like this, so he forced himself to say calmly, "Isn't that good? If you really don't have time, then I can go."

Huo Qi smiled: "I'm free, I'll go to the meeting first, you can feel free here."

Then Huo Qi left the office and told his assistant that no one could enter the office without his permission.

After Huo Qi left, Ruan Siheng began to search for the location of the safe in the office.

Finally, he found traces of the safe in a cabinet under Huo Qi's desk.

Ruan Siheng couldn't help his heart beating faster, he looked up in the direction of the door guiltily, and only after he was sure no one came in, he slowly squatted down in front of the safe.

"930928"...

With trembling fingers, Ruan Siheng pressed the string of numbers that he was very familiar with.

The prompt sound from the password button was like the sound of a death knell, hitting his ears again and again.

From this moment on, he was not only a shameless plagiarist, but also a scumbag who betrayed his friends.

He used to be the proud son of heaven envied by all people, how did he get to where he is today

It's a pity that there is no time for him to regret it. After entering the last digit of the password, the safe opened immediately.

At the same time, behind Ruan Siheng, a ghostly voice could not help but be cold.

Like a bolt from the blue, it struck Ruan Siheng hard on the back of his head.

"Ruan Siheng, why are you doing this to me?"
