◎Awkward. ◎

The last thing Chen wanted to face was this ugly stern face.

As a result, Liang Yuwei stared straight at her and said in an unmistakable tone: "I want to talk to you."

Ding Yi didn't understand what was going on. He looked left and right and said nothing.

The three of them stood there, forming a strange triangle.

The man next to Tu Liu, who was unclear about the situation, took a step forward and tried to rescue Chen Zui: "Miss Chen, do you know this person?"

Liang Yuwei glanced at him sideways, and then cast his gaze leisurely at Chen Zui.

Not only did they know each other, there were even more intimate interactions between them.

Chen Zui apologized to the man and said that Liang Yuwei was Qiao Sen's friend, and then took Liang Yuwei to a quiet corner.

"Are you interrupting my work?"

"Sorry, I really didn't see you were working." Liang Yuwei said in a strange tone.

Chen Zui: "You..."

"You can laugh when you're chatting with other men, so you just want to make fun of me, right?" Liang Yuwei sneered, "What interesting things did he say, do you want me to listen too?"

Chen Zui frowned slightly: "He is Qiao Sen's guest. Can I be cold to him? Also, please look in the mirror before talking to me."

Liang Yuwei shrugged: "I am also Qiao Sen's guest. I think you are quite cold to me."

"No matter how cold you are, I have to serve you alone, Mr. Liang."

She didn't know when she became so eloquent. Liang Yuwei took this as a symbol that their relationship had changed from before.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her thoughtfully.

When she met his eyes, she knew that he didn't want to think of anything green, healthy and refreshing.

"Are you really here to buy the work? If you don't buy it, I have other things to do." Chen Zui cleared his throat and looked away, "My boss doesn't allow me to fish."

"I said it. , I buy paintings."

Chen Zhi couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking.

She raised her face to look at him and reminded: "Ding Yiye's paintings are measured by square feet."

Liang Yuwei did not comment on the price, but asked: "Do you get a commission for buying it?"

Chen gave him a sideways look. : "It's not vulgar."

"That means there isn't one."

"What if there is?"

"Then you have to buy it. You have to buy it even if you want to sell it."

Chen Zui had another warning of collapse in his heart, so he squeezed out a short smile and said, " Inexplicable." He turned around and walked away.

-Zhou

Mo came over and happened to see Chen Zui walking away.

Zhou Mo laughed a few times, came over and put his arm around Liang Yuwei's shoulder: "I thought you really didn't care, but it turns out it's because I don't want to talk to you."

Liang Yuwei flew over and struck a blow.

But Zhou Mo didn't care: "What, are you angry? Do you want my help?"

Liang Yuwei raised his eyebrows: "Get out."

Zhou Mo helplessly spread his hands: "Okay, since you don't want to..."

Liang Yu Wei asked him: "Isn't your parents' home decorated in the new Chinese style and lacking in landscape paintings?"

Zhou Mo understood what he meant, but refused: "I don't have such high taste. Why don't you go?"

Liang Yuwei Then he came up with the terms of exchange: "Song Shiwei has to come back before going to Japan. Don't you want to know when she will come back?"

Zhou Mo was stunned, and looked like he would risk his life to accompany a gentleman: "Buy, buy, buy!"

Zhou Mo sighed, It’s not that he lacks painting, he lacks vision. And Liang Yuwei is awkward.

When they approached, Chen Zui was talking to Ding Yiye.

Ding Yi also saw two handsome figures and winked at Chen Zui.

Chen Zui didn't turn around and saw Liang Yuwei and Zhou Mo walking towards this direction with his peripheral vision.

"Why does Mr. Wang look so reluctant? Did someone tie him up?" Ding Yi also joked.

Chen Zui laughed: "Maybe."

"I just said he wanted to buy the painting. Does he really want it?"

Chen Zui asked her, "Don't you pay attention to fate when selling paintings?"

Ding Yi is not short of money and has a casual personality. . She has been creating for a long time, and she also likes to disappear. When trading her works, she pays attention to her taste. She doesn't like the buyers and would rather not sell them.

Ding Yi also nodded and said, "Yes, if you two succeed, I will have the final say on the price. If you two fail, then... I still have the final say on the price."

"Who said you can't treat art as anything ? Is it child's play?"

"How can your happiness be child's play?" Ding Yiye winked at her slyly.

Zhou Mo just walked over, showed his classic gentleman smile, and took the initiative to reach out to Chen Zui: "Hello, Zhou Mo."

They both knew each other, but this was the first time they had met officially.

"Chen Zui." Chen Zui shook hands with him and said in an official tone, "There are many guests today, so I don't take good care of them. Please forgive me."

Liang Yuwei said nothing and just glanced at her.

Why didn't she have such a gentle and patient attitude towards him?

Zhou Mo took the initiative to chat with Chen Zui about today's exhibition: "We are more exposed to trendy art, but we didn't expect ancient art to be so charming."

Chen Zui nodded and introduced them to several works on display.

Listening to Chen Zui's talk about art history and artworks, he silently glanced at Liang Yuwei and said, "Your wife has something," but the guy didn't make any eye contact with him at all.

"That's right. We are quite interested in some of today's works. We would like to know more about them so that we can have a meal together and talk in detail?" Zhou Mo invited Chen Zui.

Chen knew best that this was probably Liang Yuwei's idea.

She glanced at him. He was looking down at his phone, as if he was texting someone back, as if he wasn't paying attention to their conversation at all.

She nodded and said, "Okay."

Ding Yi also raised his hand: "Can I participate?"

Chen Zuizhi introduced Ding Yiye to Zhou Mo: "This is Ding Yiye, she has works on display today. , a very powerful young painter, we can work together."

Liang Yuwei finally looked away from the phone and frowned at Ding Yiye, why is this person here to join in the fun?

Ding Yi also caught the meal, happily took Chen Zui's arm and glared back at him.

So, the meal became four people.

-At

noon, they drove to a nearby Japanese restaurant.

At lunch time, there were many customers, and the boss arranged a private room for them.

Ding Yi also asked Chen Zui: "Have you booked a private room in advance?"

Chen Zui shook his head.

Zhou Mo turned around and told them: "We know the owner of this store. Their branch is in EM Block."

Ding Yiye's eyes flashed: "You have so many connections?"

Zhou Mo smiled: "In business, if you want to attract investment, you always have to deal with catering brands and department store brands."

Ding Yiye whispered to Chen Zui: "You and Let him fall in love. You don’t have to wait for a table wherever you go to eat!"

Chen Zui: "..."

Several people entered the private room. Zhou Mo and Ding Yi also sat on one side in a tacit understanding, leaving Chen Zui and Liang Yu on the other side. only.

After placing the order, Zhou Mo began to bring up the topic of No. 1 Middle School, deliberately creating common memories between Chen Zui and Liang Yuwei.

Chen Zui smiled secretly. Sure enough, the drunkard's intention was not the wine. From the moment they sat down, they didn't mention a single word about the painting.

Ding Yi also listened with interest and asked: "Are you classmates with them?"

Zhou Mo shook his head: "No, but my understanding of City No. 1 Middle School is definitely as good as any student of City No. 1 Middle School. I know exactly which trees are planted in which corner of the school."

Ding Yiye asked, "Do you know Fairy Song?"

"

Song Shiwei."

Zhou Mo paused and scratched his head. : "She is the school beauty, of course I know..."

"Do many people like her?"

"Quite a lot."

"Do you two like her?"

Liang Yuwei and Zhou Mo's expressions were wonderful.

They never expected that Ding Yi would ask questions about Song Shiwei so directly.

Liang Yuwei answered simply: "I don't like it."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Zui.

Regarding the topic of Song Shiwei, he had already told her at her house that he had no panties left.

Zhou Mo smiled faintly and answered vaguely: "At that time, I was confused and didn't understand anything."

Ding Yiye and Chen Zui looked at each other and completed the communication in their eyes - there was a new discovery.

Zhou Mo wanted to skip the topic of Song Shiwei quickly, so he directed the topic to Liang Yuwei: "He was a popular figure in the city's No. 1 Middle School at that time, right Chen Zui?"

Chen Zui pursed his lips and nodded in agreement: "Yes. "

What's your impression of him?"

Many moments flashed through Chen Zui's mind for no apparent reason.

The inconspicuous mole on his lips, the time he fought those boring gossips for her, the time he beat up Jiang Siyao, and the way he kissed her for the first time... the memories of the past and the present are like two dancing lines, chaotic intertwined.

She suddenly realized that they had had so many interactions.

Chen Zui pulled away from his thoughts and said, "Just... studying is good."

Liang Yuwei drank the tea silently, his expression invisible.

Zhou Mo glanced at Liang Yuwei, thinking that people have no impression of you. Brothers, the road ahead is long and difficult.

He decided to do something.

"Studying well is the most basic thing. He has many advantages." Zhou Mo's tone was slightly exaggerated.

"For example?" Ding Yi also became interested.

She wanted to see what kind of tricks Zhou Mo could make up. The friend of Mr. Wang, the big liar, was definitely not a good person.

"Handsome."

Although Ding Yiye didn't want to admit it, it was... it was indeed the truth: "Okay, let's count it."

"Good health."

Good health... it's a bit easy to think wrongly.

Liang Yuwei turned his head and met Chen Zui's eyes.

Their eyes met, and Chen Zui understood the subtext in those dark eyes: What are you looking at? Haven't you tried it before?

"He is a very good player." Zhou Mo also took a sip and drank, "And this person is very perverted. The worse his mood is, the better his playing condition is. Some time ago, he was in a bad mood. He was very cruel when he played, and his hand was injured. You can beat me."

Chen most subconsciously glanced at Liang Yuwei's hand.

Liang Yuwei cleared her throat and reminded him to stop talking.

Zhou Mo continued: "He can also cook."

Ding Yi also said, "What an advantage."

"Not only can he cook, but he can also cook delicious food." Zhou Mo almost slammed the table. , "You will know after you try it."

She has verified that the cooking is delicious.

She had eaten his cooking three times in total.

Once at his house, once at a B&B on the mountain, and once at her house. After they got intimate, they finished the meal in awkward silence. One last time, he dropped harsh words as he left.

Perhaps these memories touched the softest part of Chen's heart, and she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Liang Yuwei.

Liang Yuwei didn't look at her, but gently held her hand under the table.

Ding Yi curled his lips and said, "I haven't eaten before."

"Whoever becomes his wife will be lucky enough." Zhou Mo glanced at the faces of the two people opposite him intentionally or unintentionally.

Chen was most afraid of being discovered and quickly withdrew his hand.

Liang Yuwei didn't want to talk about his relationship with Chen Zui in front of others. He hoped that they could have separate space and time without a third person present.

Regarding a series of questions from Zhou Mo and Ding Yiye, he acted indifferently and was not very active.

Zhou Mo tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, hoping to bring back their shared memories.

But the two parties involved were not enthusiastic.

Zhou Mo didn't talk much about his high school days, for fear of touching Chen Zui's scars after letting himself go.

In the end, he was tired and could only turn the conversation to art, and talked to Ding Yi about buying paintings.

-After

dinner, Ding Yi also cleverly got into Zhou Mo's car, leaving Chen Zui and Liang Yu alone.

Before Zhou Mo left, he put his arm around Liang Yuwei's shoulder and said, "I've tried my best. Do you want to fall in love?"

He felt that there was no assist player more dedicated than him.

"You don't have to worry about it."

"What the hell..." Zhou Mo was very angry, "Why am I so busy today?"

Liang Yuwei did not respond to his words, only said: "Song Shiwei is eleven on Saturday morning. I ordered a flight and stayed in Jingjiang for a week before going abroad."

Zhou Mo patted him on the shoulder and immediately walked out: "Thank you."

Liang Yuwei got in the car, turned on the air conditioner in the car as a habit, and then rubbed his brow.

Zhou Mo's car had disappeared from sight, and Liang Yuwei was not ready to set off yet.

He was a little annoyed. He should have invited Chen Zui himself. This meal should have been just for the two of them.

Chen had no idea what he was thinking. She remembered how hard he said "goodbye completely" when they separated last time, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She found a topic and asked about his injured hand.

"Injured from playing basketball?" She wanted to see his hand, "Why were you in a bad mood at that time?"

His knuckled hand was pressed against the steering wheel and he didn't show it to her.

He felt that she was asking questions knowingly.

Why? It wasn't because she rejected him and made him wait in the office from day to night on weekends.

Chen Zui thought he was angry, so he asked, "Are you angry? Are you angry that I didn't pay attention to you in high school, or are you angry that I just threw away your hand?"

Liang Yuwei did not answer.

In fact, he was not angry. Since Chen Zui said this, he would use his tactics to see what she would say to reconcile.

Chen Zui lowered his eyes and said: "I don't want to talk about my opinion of you in front of others, because I don't know if some things will embarrass you, so I choose not to say it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, I will tell you Apologize."

Liang Yuwei looked at her quietly.

Their ideas are aligned at this point.

"It's not that I have no impression of you in high school. You were sitting behind me. How could I only know that you studied well? I know that you only drink one brand of water. I know that you have a mole on your hand. I know You come very early every day, and I know you..."

Liang Yuwei smiled, waiting for her to continue: "What else do you know?"

"I also know that you had a fight for Song Shiwei," she said and immediately looked over. outside the window.

The cost of that one was terrible.

Liang Yuwei's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

Chen said most thoughtfully: "I know you didn't like her, but at that time you may have done it for justice, or simply the impulse of adolescence..."

Who wants her to explain for him?

Liang Yuwei breathed out slowly and said in a deep voice: "That fight was not for Song Shiwei."

Who was it for?

He gave Chen Zui a look.

He didn't say anything, but Chen Zui couldn't help but feel flustered.
