Chapter 36: Apologizing
The journey to Hailu Fort is much closer than to Hejun, so they reached their destination shortly after taking the high-speed rail.
The two got off the high-speed train and found a cheaper hotel to stay in. After putting their luggage into their respective rooms, they found the most famous lobster restaurant in the area and had lunch.
Lu Xiwen was peeling the shrimp, but his mind was on Song Zhiyi, who was also peeling the shrimp opposite: "Senior sister."
Because the hair is loose, it will affect his shrimp peeling, so Song Zhiyi randomly tied his hair into a ponytail before eating. Against the backdrop of the white shirt, his petite cheeks look even more delicate. People who don’t know may think that
Song Zhiyicai was only eighteen years old.
When Song Zhiyi heard Lu Xiwen’s name to him, he paused his hand, raised his head and looked at Lu Xiwen and said, “You don’t need to call me senior sister, you can call me Zhiyi.”
She was not from the Physics Academy, and his repeated calls to senior sisters would make Song Zhiyi unable to help but think of Tang Yuchen.
Lu Xiwen touched the back of his neck embarrassedly: "Aren't I used to calling my senior sister?"
The two of them were eating vegetables and peeling shrimps, chatting without saying a word.
Song Zhiyi only ate a little shrimp, on the one hand, because she didn't like to eat aquatic foods very much, and on the other hand, her appetite has become less good since she came back from Hejun that day.
After dinner, the two of them took a taxi to the art exhibition.
Hailu Fort will hold an art exhibition every year, and new works will be exhibited every year for everyone to watch.
Song Zhiyi stood in the viewing area of the newcomer's works, standing in front of a picture and watching seriously.
They came early, so the exhibition did not look as crowded as in previous years.
"Senior sister, do you like this painting?" Lu Xiwen turned around and saw Song Zhiyi standing still in place, staring at the painting with his eyes fixed on it.
Song Zhiyi put his hand on his chin, pretended to think for a while, and then whispered: "Well, this painting is pretty good."
In fact, she couldn't understand the quality of the painting at all, and she was not looking at the painting seriously. She just got out of the blue for a moment.
After standing here for a while, everything that appeared in her mind was Tang Yuchen's face.
Song Zhiyi shook her head helplessly, thinking that she was probably crazy.
Some of the paintings in Hailu Fort's art exhibition can be bought and enjoyed home, and of course some of them are expensive and rare, and can only be appreciated roundly through the thick glass.
When Lu Xiwen saw that Song Zhiyi seemed to like the painting in front of him, he looked down at the price below the painting.
One hundred and ten million...
Lu Xiwen's mouth twitched. Looking at the painting priced at 150,000, he was a little suspicious of his eyes. He quietly glanced at the words "Newcomer Display Area" on it, and then looked down at the price below.
He scratched his head embarrassedly.
He was not from a wealthy family. On the contrary, his parents worked at the bottom, so he did not have a very rich savings. This 150,000 was a number that he could never imagine.
Lu Xiwen gave up the idea of buying this painting and giving it to Song Zhiyi on the spot.
Lu Xiwen snatched his hand in embarrassment: "Senior sister, don't you go and see something else?"
Song Zhiyi obviously didn't see Lu Xiwen's embarrassment, but just smiled faintly at him: "I just went to see some other paintings, but I still think this painting is different from other paintings. I like it very much.
style."
Song Zhiyi liked this painting, but she didn't know why. She just felt that she could not help but stop and observe carefully when she saw this painting for the first time. But as she looked, her eyes slowly emerged.
Tang Yuchen looked like he was wearing a suit and attending class seriously.
......
"Mr. Gu, why didn't Mr. Tang come with you today?"
On the other side of the exhibition, Gu Liyan wore a black suit and took off his usual slut. At this time, he was steadily surrounded by a bunch of people in the same suit and tie and talking and laughing.
Gu Liyan shook the red wine glass in his hand slightly, showed a professional smirk, and politely answered the question of the entourage: "Mr. Tang, he has been busy recently and really can't get out of here to visit this year's art exhibition."
As the end of the period approaches, Tang Yuchen will naturally be busy, busy reviewing for his students, busy preparing papers, and guiding other students' physics research reports, etc. Of course, he is also busy thinking about how to recover Song Zhiyi.
, This is what makes Tang Yuchen particularly anxious.
"Oh, that's a pity," the entourage sighed and shook his head, "This year, I saw a painting, that painting, I dare say that President Tang would definitely like it, but...
It's a pity that he didn't come."
Gu Liyan raised her eyebrows slightly and took a sip of the red wine in her hand: "Oh? Then I'm a little curious about what painting can make Mr. Lin so sure that Mr. Tang will like it? Can Mr. Lin take me to enjoy it?"
Mr. Lin smiled and made a call for Gu Liyan: "Since Mr. Gu is so interested, then please bother Mr. Gu to appreciate it."
The group came to the painting. Because there were still people standing in front of the painting, President Lin first stretched out his finger and pointed to the painting not far away, and respectfully said to Gu Liyan: "Mr. Gu, look, this one is it.
When I saw this painting, I felt that this painting was very consistent with the temperament of General Tang.”
"It seems that Mr. Lin is so concerned about Mr. Tang? It is not necessarily that Mr. Lin is concerned about me?"
Gu Liyan joked about Mr. Lin, and then followed Mr. Lin's gesture. The painting not far away was indeed the style that Tang Yuchen liked, and as Mr. Lin said, it was very consistent with Tang Yuchen's temperament.
but.....
Gu Liyan couldn't help but look away from the painting, and her eyes gradually fell on the man and woman standing in front of the painting, and she was stunned for a moment.
Gu Liyan greeted the people who followed him, then took a step toward Song Zhiyi, his tone full of uncertainty: "Song Zhiyi?"
Song Zhiyi turned his head in the voice and saw Gu Liyan wearing serious clothes. He blinked and was stunned for a while before she spoke with uncertainty: "Are you... Gu Liyan?"
Gu Liyan was amused by Song Zhiyi's appearance: "It's me, you can't remember what I look like if I haven't seen you for so few days?"
Song Zhiyi smiled awkwardly and explained: "No, because you were suddenly dressed so formally, and you almost didn't recognize it."
Gu Liyan usually dresses casually, and sometimes she boldly wears some unique clothes, but... it is the first time she has seen such a formal one.
Gu Liyan glanced at Lu Xiwen standing beside Song Zhiyi, and felt a little worried about his good brother.
"Come and visit with a few business partners," Gu Liyan still smiled, then pointed to Lu Xiwen who was standing beside Song Zhiyi, and asked with a smile: "Who is this?"
"Oh," Song Zhiyi pointed to Lu Xiwen, "This is my friend, who is from the same school as Feifei."
She just said that she was from the same school as Zhou Feifei, and she deliberately avoided the three words Tang Yuchen.
Lu Xiwen politely stretched out his hand and smiled: "Hello, my name is Lu Xiwen."
Out of politeness, Gu Liyan reached out to hold Lu Xiwen's hand: "Hello, I am Gu Liyan, your friend of Professor Tang."
Lu Xiwen's eyes lit up: "Are you Professor Tang's friend?"
"Yes." Gu Liyan nodded, turned her head and stood in front of the painting for a while, and said to Song Zhiyi: "Why, do you like this painting too?"
"Yeah." Song Zhiyi didn't have to think too much, "I really like the style of this painting."
Hearing Song Zhiyi say this, Gu Liyan couldn't help but applaud. Sure enough, these two people even like the same paintings. If these two people were not together, it would be so unforgivable!
"What a coincidence, this painting is also the style that Tang Yuchen likes."
Gu Liyan said this sentence on purpose. He turned his head and looked at Song Zhiyi's expression. Song Zhiyi just pursed his lips slightly, staring at the painting on the wall without saying a word.
Gu Liyan looked at Song Zhiyi's expression indescribable. He really wanted to fly back to Qicheng and pull Tang Yuchen to Song Zhiyi now, letting the two of them tell the matter and then be together sweetly, but only
Unfortunately, he doesn't have this superpower.
After thinking about it, Gu Liyan came up with a way.
He looked at Song Zhiyi and said, "If you like, I'll ask someone to take it down and give it to you."
"ah?"
Song Zhiyi was a little suspicious that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at Gu Liyan with a confused look on his face.
Gu Liyan bluntly said: "I said that since you like it, I will regard this painting as given to you by Tang Yuchen."
Song Zhiyi waved his hand and refused and said, "Thank you, but I don't, I don't need it."
"Oh, I know you're having trouble because of some things," Gu Liyan said with a smile, "Just treat it as Tang Yuchen's apology to you."
apologize?
Why apologize?
Tang Yuchen did nothing wrong, but Song Zhiyi was just unable to let go of him, so he thought about alienating him and forgetting him.
"I...I really don't need it," Song Zhiyi bit his lips at a loss, made up his mind, and said to Gu Liyan, "I'm not familiar with him."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Gu Liyan, who claimed to be the most understanding of women's hearts, could not be punished.
But in the end, no matter how Song Zhiyi refused, Gu Liyan refused. Later, he directly recruited the administrator of the art exhibition to ask him to pack the painting and send it to the community where Song Zhiyi was.
Song Zhiyi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh that the world of rich people is good, and he gave it to others without blinking the eyes.
Gu Liyan seemed to see through what Song Zhiyi was thinking at this time, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll turn around and ask Tang Yuchen for reimbursement."
“…”
This sentence made Song Zhiyi feel that Tang Yuchen seemed to have become his creditor.
Song Zhiyi took a casual walk in the art exhibition, but was thinking about how to return the 150,000 yuan to Tang Yuchen at that time.
After all, I will not be an acquaintance in the future.
On the way back to the hotel, Song Zhiyi seemed to have been sucked, sitting in the taxi and staring at the vehicle in front of her in a daze.
"Wow," Lu Xiwen broke the silence, "I didn't expect that Zhiyi, you actually know Professor Tang's friend."
Song Zhiyi was not in a high mood. She obviously wanted to get some breath and stay away from places that might have intersections with Tang Yuchen, but she didn't expect to meet someone related to Tang Yuchen.
Song Zhiyi said "um" lightly.
Lu Xiwen continued, "I just heard what Professor Tang's friend said. Are you having a conflict with Professor Tang?"
Song Zhiyi frowned impatiently. As soon as she heard the three words Tang Yuchen, her heart couldn't help but twitch and ached faintly.
Song Zhiyi forced himself to calm down: "I'm not familiar with him."
"Then why I just heard Professor Tang's friend say... that the painting was just taken as a plea from Professor Tang to you."
Lu Xiwen frowned. He was also surprised when he heard these words. He did not expect that Song Zhiyi would know Tang Yuchen's friends, and naturally he would not expect that Song Zhiyi had an unhappy relationship with Tang Yuchen.
