Chapter 58 The Name of Art

An hour ago, Zhou Ziheng was still chatting with Zhao Ke, and the other party kept urging him to attend the art salon tonight.

"I heard that there are many painters at the dinner party here." Zhao Ke's tone on the other end of the phone was still a little excited, "Maybe there are some beautiful painters."

Speaking of painters, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help thinking of that figure in his mind.

"When are you ready for this?" Zhou Ziheng wore headphones and closed his eyes for modeling. His event tonight was a Chinese and foreign independent film promotion seminar. He was the only actor in his twenties, and the rest were all about him. She is a big coffee with deep qualifications and awards. Jiang Yin urged her thousands of times, and Zhou Ziheng also understood her painstaking efforts. This is paving the way for herself.

Zhao Ke joked over there, "I saw the hot search on your CP two days ago, and then I carefully looked at his photos and videos, and I found that the artistic temperament is really different, so I can't tell. That kind of. And he really looks like a girl, he is prettier than many girls, hey, does he have a sister? Does he look alike? Introduce me?"

Zhou Ziheng frowned, his unpleasant tone was too obvious, "Get out of here."

"Just kidding, it's a pity that this kind of appearance doesn't appear on girls." Zhao Ke changed the subject, as a young man, as always, teasing his little handle when he was a child, "Hey, you haven't mentioned your first love recently. Miss, something is wrong."

Zhou Ziheng felt a little guilty when he was told the central matter, "What are you talking about..."

"Really, I haven't heard you talk about it for a long time, it's so uncomfortable." Zhao Ke's tone was mean, "You must have changed your mind."

Zhou Ziheng didn't speak for a long time, but Zhao Ke's heart pounded, "Hey...Are you all right? Why didn't you speak?"

After a while, Zhou Ziheng said, "...I you, if you knew from the beginning that there is such a person, who has a chaotic private life, likes to lie, likes to play with other people's feelings, especially likes to abandon those who like him, like this Will you have a good impression of him?"

"What kind of good feelings are you talking about?" Zhao Ke tacitly agreed that Zhou Ziheng likes girls, but he felt like he was a man after hearing this description, so he naturally thought of the good feelings of being friends, "I think this Let’s talk about it separately, aren’t there a lot of people like this in our circle? They like to play, don’t treat others with sincerity, the young master is sick, but I don’t think it will prevent us from being friends. Loyalty, these are all divided."

Zhou Ziheng knew that Zhao Ke couldn't understand what he said, and he didn't know why he asked him. He just felt that he was in a period of confusion. To be honest, he hated the relationship that he could only check with Xia Xi. He wanted to Possession, this idea grows in his mind like weeds, and is about to drive him crazy.

Why can't he fall in love with himself.

Why did this terrible possessiveness appear to him.

As long as he thinks of what Xia Xiqing has done in the past, Zhou Ziheng loses his confidence. So many people, no one has kept his heart. How dare he say that he is special, so many people have been sweet with him, have been close to him, and even have a deeper relationship than him, but they all lost to Xia Xiqing's morbid game desire.

He has already lost, just pretending that he still has a chance to win.

Once his own mind is exposed, Xia Xiqing may abandon him without hesitation.

If that's the case, Zhou Ziheng would rather wrap himself in this false sweet trap, even if Xia Xiqing and him are just playing, at least there will be short-term joy.

"Well, you're right." Zhou Ziheng made a perfunctory sentence, but he didn't expect Zhao Ke to say again, "That being said, you are such an honest person, you probably don't want to hang out with that kind of person. You don't even like it. Girls are all angelic."

Contrary to what he said, Zhou Ziheng just wanted to keep silent.

Not only did he hang out with that kind of person, he also fell in love with that kind of person.

"Are you coming? Come and join us."

"I can't go to the meeting, I'm doing styling right now." The stylist started blowing his hair, and the two ended the call.

Who knew that when Zhou Ziheng had just listened to the speech of an Italian director, he received several messages from Zhao Ke. He was a little surprised. It turned out that the event that Xia Xiqing talked about was the same event as the art salon that Zhao Ke talked about?

Thinking about it this way, he was not surprised. It was normal for Xia Xiqing to attend the art salon. Now it's his turn to regret it. He knew that he should have gone after receiving the invitation, but he was too concerned at the time. Whether it was a star or a family background, he was too dazzling. Attending this kind of place is better than attending The All-Star red carpet is much more uncomfortable, at least other colleagues can share the attention, plus there are other arrangements tonight, he can only push it away.

If he knew that Xia Xiqing would go, he might have gone without thinking about it.

At the banquet, Zhao Ke was peeking at Xia Xiqing when his phone vibrated.

[Heng Heng: He went alone? ]

[Ke Zi: It seems yes, he was alone just now, but he was so eye-catching that men and women all came to talk to him, and he was too busy. ]

Seeing the last three words, Zhou Ziheng only felt blood rushing into his head. He could almost imagine the scene of Xia Xiqing drinking and chatting with others with that beautiful face in a gentle manner.

This kind of banquet is attended by people who have a certain knowledge of artworks. Will they get along well with Xia Xiqing, and will they hit it off right away?

The heart suddenly became frantic.

[Hengheng: Who did you go to? Anyone I know? ]

Zhao Ke didn't think much about it, glanced at the scene, and quickly replied to the message.

[Ke Zi: You know most of them. Some of them belong to our courtyard. Zhong Chi did this. He also hired some rich second-generation rich people. You don’t know. The luxury car at the door is parked. I also deliberately drove a low-key car, for fear that my dad and my brother would be affected by the report. ]

The farther he went on, Zhou Ziheng was so irritable that he became furious.

He didn't know how to get him to help him stare at the point. He directly said that Zhao Ke must feel strange, but he was scolding him and doubted whether Zhao Ke's IQ could understand.

[Heng Heng: Xia Xiqing has a relatively simple personality. He doesn't know anything except painting. You can take care of it for me. If anything happens, you can tell me. ]

Zhao Ke is happy, what could happen? Besides, I will tell you what to do, just as I am a superman who saves the world?

However, Zhao Kebei knew this little righteousness, and he didn't think it was strange, and in his heart, Xia Xiqing really fit the word "simple" said by Zhou Ziheng.

Okay, this time he will also be a flower protector, bah, a grass protector.

Putting away the phone, when he turned around, he found that Xia Xiqing had disappeared, along with the man who had just chatted up beside him. Zhao Ke panicked all of a sudden, just promised well, and slapped his face so quickly.

"Where the hell did you go..." Zhao Ke wandered around with a headless fly, then turned around and bumped into a girl in a black velvet suspender dress.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Zhao Ke apologized repeatedly, but found that the girl was also very familiar, "You are..." His mind went blank, he couldn't remember anything, and the name was on his lips.

Unexpectedly, the girl laughed first, "I spent the whole night in this embarrassing atmosphere of being familiar but unable to name myself."

As soon as he heard her voice, Zhao Ke suddenly remembered, "You are Ruan Xiao! Right?" Ruan Xiao's playing boards were always sweet and sweet when he was on TV, and his long chestnut hair was gentle and cute. This time, his hair was dyed back to black, and his dark red lips and black velvet slim-fit long skirt almost made a straight man like Zhao Ke unrecognizable.

"What are you here for?"

Ruan Xiao raised her chin to the right, "I came with my dad."

A bunch of wealthy businessmen gathered at the other end, and Zhao Ke immediately understood, "Are you Ruan Zhengting's daughter?"

She shrugged and smiled brightly, "You are the son of Bureau Zhao."

"Don't, don't," Zhao Ke was most afraid that others would put a hat on him, chatting too vigorously, and suddenly remembered Zhou Ziheng's exhortation, "Oh, by the way, have you seen Xia Xiqing?"

"Xia Xiqing?" Ruan Xiao was a little surprised, "Are you talking about Xi Qing who was recording the show with me?"

"Yeah." Zhao Ke looked around again, "I saw him just now, maybe he was invited as an artist. He was drinking in the rest area just now, and there was a man in a burgundy suit. Start a conversation with him, turn around and see no one."

Ruan Xiao's face suddenly turned ugly, "A wine red suit, are you talking about a man about the same age as us?"

"Yeah. He was the one who wore the most coquettish bag in the audience, and the smell of perfume was sky-high."

A person walked by, Ruan Xiao pretended to wrap Zhao Ke's arm affectionately, and said in a low voice, "You may not know this person, his name is Wei Min, and he has a very bad reputation in our circle."

Zhao Ke's face became hot, but he didn't really hear what Ruan Xiao said, so he was taken to a place with few people by Ruan Xiao. Before he could recover, Ruan Xiao let go of him.

"His private life is very messy, both men and women take it all, and he likes to support celebrities and Internet celebrities."

He could hear it clearly this time, and recalling Wei Min's diligence just now, he frowned, "But... Xia Xiqing can't do anything if he doesn't agree with him."

"That's what I'm worried about." Ruan Xiao's expression was solemn, "He basically used some very unprofessional methods."

"Fuck, then I have to find Xia Xiqing quickly."

"I'm with you."

Zhao Ke was a fool and didn't find that Ruan Xiao didn't ask himself why he was looking for Xia Xiqing, nor how Ruan Xiao knew him, so he followed Ruan Xiao around the Zhong family mansion, and they all went to the small garden. inside.

Xia Xiqing originally wanted to get rid of Wei Min and go to the observation deck on the excuse of smoking, but Wei Min refused to give up and took out a cigar to show her hospitality. Although he is a rich second-generation, but because of family reasons, he rarely attends such occasions, and many people don't even know that Xia Yunkai's son is him.

"I've seen your paintings, they're really good." Wei Min took the initiative to bring him a glass of wine, "I admire talented people the most."

Seeing what he said and said, it was all about painting, and 80% of them thought he was an invited Internet celebrity little painter.

Xia Xiqing smiled and rejected the blue cocktail in his hand without speaking.

"So you don't like to drink cocktails, yes, this kind of wine tastes like sugar water. It's boring." He put the glass of wine directly on the table, and handed the cigar to him, "This is exciting, A private jet from Dominica, try it."

Saying that the rich man is not aggrieved at all, Xia Xiqing smiled lightly and did not speak. The cigarettes were all close to him, and he didn't bother to push it any more. Off again, he gently thanked him.

"I heard Director Kun say that the second male lead in "Tracking" has chosen you," Wei Min smiled, "That's right, you probably don't know, you weren't there when the last game was saved, and it was the heroine at that time. , I voted for the play "Tracking"..."

"So what?" Xia Xiqing raised his eyes, the strong aroma of the cigar reverberated in his skull, he lazily took a breath, the peach eyes in the smoke were full of aura, and there was an obvious contempt.

Wei Min was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask back, "Ah... I mean, I don't know if you have time in the second half of the night, although I don't know much about art, but I like all beautiful things, they are pleasing to the eye, I want to make a mural at home, I wonder if the painter Xia Da can give me a face and help me with the staff." He laughed and took Xia Xiqing's shoulders, "If I can borrow your hand, it will be Pengpi is shining."

Ruan Xiao and Zhao Ke, who had searched all over the Zhong Mansion, finally saw Xia Xiqing's back on the third floor. Who would have guessed that as soon as they approached, they found that Wei Min had wrapped his arms around Xia Xiqing's shoulders, looking very intimate from behind, Zhao Ke hesitated. Immediately, Ruan Xiao was pulled behind the stained glass door on the rooftop.

"Why are you hiding?"

"My family is urging me to get married now." Ruan Xiao pouted, "If someone sees me following Wei Min and thinks I'm interested in him, if someone has nothing to do with us, I'll be finished. "

Then the two of us... Zhao Ke looked at Ruan Xiao who was grabbing his arm, his Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't say anything in the end, he decided to do business first, "What, Xia Xiqing is so affectionate with him, shouldn't it really be like that? Well..."

"No, Xiqing is not that kind of person." Ruan Xiao looked through the glass door, but Xia Xiqing did not push him away.

With a click, the sound of the shutter, Ruan Xiao turned to look at Zhao Ke holding up the phone, "What are you doing?"

"I took a photo and sent it to Heng Heng."

"Why do you want to show him?" Ruan Xiao sent out a soul torture.

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment, "Yes, why?"

The two were silent for two seconds, and suddenly asked at the same time, "Are you taking self-study?"

Damn, he's really a fellow man. Ruan Xiao patted Zhao Ke on the shoulder, "Okay, we are friends now."

What unfolds. Zhao Ke's phone shook a few times, and when he opened it, it was Zhou Ziheng.

[Hengheng: What's going on? ]

[Heng Heng: Who is the person holding him? ]

[Heng Heng: Didn't you tell me that you would watch it for me? ]

Zhao Ke was also on fire and typed back to him.

[Ke Zi: Brother Heng, you’re not being authentic. Didn’t I watch it for you? This is what Xia Xiqing would like to be hugged by others, so I’m going to rush up to break people’s hands apart, and even rush at him He cursed, "Get up, this is my buddy's man." Bah, look at what I said, who is Xia Xiqing from you? ]

Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a while when he received such a long list.

Yes, who is Xia Xiqing?

He is willing to be hugged by others, what can he do. Forget about Zhao Ke, even if he was there, he couldn't say a word to the person who was holding him, this is my person.

Seeing Zhou Ziheng's delay in replying, Zhao Ke was a little flustered and felt that his words were too ugly, but he really couldn't understand, Xia Xiqing was already so old, why was Zhou Ziheng nervous.

A flash of light suddenly flashed across his chaotic brain.

I fuck.

Lying in the trough, lying in the trough.

He stared blankly at Ruan Xiao.

"You said, we won't get it real, right?"

This cigar makes me sick to my stomach.

Or maybe the person in front of him is too disgusting. Xia Xiqing couldn't take it anymore, he lifted Wei Min's hand on his body, put the unfinished cigar into the blue cocktail, and said coldly.

"You can't afford me."

The expression on Wei Min's face changed. Seeing him so ignorant, his anger suddenly rushed up, but Xia Xiqing's face was really to his appetite. He was naturally unwilling to let it go.

The tongue pressed against the inside of his mouth, Wei Min straightened the collar of his suit, "Patriarch Xia, go out and ask, what is my status in Beijing, Wei Min, no matter how many people come to me, I will not give a good face. I'm holding you like this, just want to make friends with you, you don't have to be an artist with me, and have some fun."

The corner of Xia Xiqing's mouth twitched and he sneered.

"make friends?"

His face turned completely cold.

"Are you worthy too?"

After speaking, Xia Xiqing turned around and walked straight towards the outside of the rooftop.

Seeing that Xia Xiqing was ready to come out, Zhao Ke was afraid of revealing the stuffing, but Ruan Xiao was calmer, and dragged Zhao Ke's jacket around half a circle, making him turn his back to Xia Xiqing, and he happened to be blocked by Zhao Ke, disguised as a couple Couple hugging.

"Should we follow?" Ruan Xiao let go of her hand and kept her eyes fixed on Xia Xiqing. She didn't hear Zhao Ke's response. She looked up, and Zhao Ke was staring at herself in a daze.

"Hey."

"Go, go now, go one after another, go non-stop." Zhao Ke started talking nonsense in a panic, which made Ruan Xiao laugh, "You're quite talented, let's go."

Xia Xiqing's nausea was not over yet, and he felt dizzy when he went downstairs. He saw Ruan Xiao just now. She was with the young man who had been spying on her, and she didn't know what she was doing. Originally wanted to say hello, but seeing that she was obviously hiding from him, Xia Xiqing went down the steps to avoid embarrassment. I thought about going to the bathroom first, then when I came back, I pretended to meet her by chance and greeted her, and then I went straight home.

This dinner was utterly boring and tarnished the name of art.
