Chapter 63 Regret
After the auction was over, Yan Qiu got up and wanted to go to the venue, but was stopped by the staff.
"Mr. Yan, you can't leave yet."
Yan Qiu knew that although the auction was over, there were still many things to do in the future, and he had to settle the auction fee and price with the auctioneer.
So had to continue to wait here.
Although the work just now fetched a high price, Yan Qiu had no time to be happy.
He just wanted to know who took pictures of his works?Is it Li Zhi?
But the last time they met was not pleasant, could it be him?
"Can I meet the person who bought my work later?" Yan Qiu hesitated, and asked the staff.
Upon hearing this, the staff immediately replied: "It is reasonable to say that it is possible, but we have to ask the buyer first."
"Okay." Yan Qiu asked eagerly, "Can you ask me, please?"
"Okay, Mr. Yan." After the staff finished speaking, they walked out.
After a while, Yan Qiu heard a knock on the door.
Yan Qiu raised his head immediately, and saw the door was pushed open, and then a young man in a navy blue suit walked in.
It was the man he had just met in the corridor.
He held the painted and carved wooden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva that had just been auctioned in his hand, and sat down opposite Yan Qiu.
Then he gestured to the staff next to him.
The staff came over and leaned over to listen to something, then got up and asked the other people in the room out temporarily, and closed the door intimately.
Soon, there were only the two of them left in the room.
While stroking the seated Bodhisattva statue in his hand, the young man looked at him and asked, "Mr. Yan, I heard you want to see me?"
Yan Qiu suppressed the disappointment in his heart, forced out a smile, "Yes, I don't understand why you paid such a high price?"
"Why?" The young man smiled thoughtfully, "Who knows why? It's probably for a friend. I'm not interested in woodcarving, but he likes it. His birthday is coming, so I might as well buy him a gift."
"Is that so..." Yan Qiu said with some disappointment.
In fact, it is true, I hurt Mr. Li so deeply last time, how could he deliberately spend money to buy his own works again.
I'm afraid it's too late to avoid it.
"Mr. Yan looks very disappointed." The young man looked at him and said.
Yan Qiu immediately came back to his senses when he heard it, and quickly replied: "No."
Since it wasn't Li Zhi, there was nothing to say, so Yan Qiu said, "Happy birthday to your friend" and wanted to end this topic.
However, the man didn't mean to end at all, but said with some emotion: "He probably won't be happy."
Yan Qiu didn't expect him to chat with him, but the topic had already been thrown to him, so he could only take it up, "Why?"
"Tut tsk tsk." The young man sighed a few times, and pointed to the position of his heart with his finger, "Emotional problems are difficult."
"Feelings..." Before Yan Qiu could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him as if reacting to something.
He remembered that the person in front of him seemed to have come out of 103, which was the room where Li Zhi was.
And like woodcarving, relationship issues...
His friend is... Li Zhi?
Seeing that he finally came to his senses, the young man couldn't help but smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Remember? I thought you were forgetting too much, and just wanted to cry for my friend from the bottom of my heart.You remember."
As the young man said, he raised his hand and shook him empty-handedly, "Hi, Yan Qiu, my name is Lin Jin."
"Hello." Yan Qiu replied, but his voice lowered unconsciously.
"Actually, even if you don't want to see me today, I would like to take the initiative to meet you." Lin Jin said, and put the painted and carved wooden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in his hand on the table next to him, and folded his hands lazily.
"After all, you may not have heard of me, but I have heard of you a long time ago. He has a cold, indifferent and slow temper. This is the first time I have seen him talk about a person to me so eagerly., he is not a nosy person, but in the past year, you know, don't know, how many things has he intervened for you? Yan Qiu, can't you see?"
Lin Jin's words were very sharp, as if a knife had been directly inserted into his heart, Yan Qiu felt a little out of breath for a moment.
"β¦β¦I know."
"You know." Lin Jin smiled lightly upon hearing this.
Ever since he came in, there was a smile on his face, but this smile was like the sunshine in winter, it looked warm, but it didn't have the slightest warmth.
"I know that you came from a bad background and had a very tragic childhood experience, which had a great impact on you. I also know that your worries are nothing more than poor family status and worldly prejudice. You are afraid that Grandpa Li will not agree, and you are afraid that LiDo you embarrass him? Do you think you have no future together?"
Lin Jin's every sentence mentioned what he was most worried about, so Yan Qiu subconsciously nodded.
Then I heard him continue to say: "You can think of these things, do you think Li Zhi can't think of them?"
Yan Qiu raised his head in a daze when he heard the words, not quite understanding what he meant.
Lin Jin looked at him, sighed helplessly, stood up and walked in front of him.
"He knows that you don't know how to face Grandpa Li, so he went back to the ancestral house once before you."
Yan Qiu heard this and looked up at him.
For some reason, he seemed to be able to guess what Lin Jin was going to say next, as if a heavy hammer was hanging high in his heart, and he didn't know when it would fall.
"heβ¦β¦"
"He knelt at the door of Grandpa Li's study all night, begging Grandpa Li for permission."
When Yan Qiu heard this, he felt the pain in his heart and flinched hard, as if he had been hit hard by something, and the pain made him bend down suddenly.
"He was still seriously ill at that time, you know that."
"Because of his parents, the old man has been venting his anger on him for so many years. When he just graduated from university, the old man didn't help him when he faced those wolves, tigers, and leopards alone. But that night, Grandpa Li felt sorry for him for a long time, and agreed.It's your business."
"But what about you?" Lin Jin's expression changed, and his tone became sharper, "You don't even dare to admit your relationship, Yan Qiu, are you so unconfident in your feelings for Li Zhi? Or is your heart made of iron??β
"You were worried about being obstructed by your elders, but he solved it for you. You were worried about the poor family status, and he was also working hard to help you. I know you are talented and talented, but have you ever thought that in this society, even if you are talented?Gentleman, if you have no background and no one to help you, how could it be so easy to get ahead? Even today's auction is helping you raise your value, he has always had you in his future, but what about you?"
Lin Jin's words were clear enough, how could he still not understand, the emotions that had been suppressed all these days could no longer be controlled, they poured out in an instant, the backlog of guilt and pain almost overwhelmed him.
Yan Qiu tried his best to restrain himself, but his eyes still turned red uncontrollably.
"He is not good at words. He has been busy with the affairs of Li's family these years. He has no time to think about other things. It is rare to get enlightened, so he fell on you. I was happy for him. He has suffered too much these years.It's good to be accompanied by someone you like, so I don't want you to hurt him again, he really likes you, so don't force him to prove it because of your worries about gains and losses."
"How else do you let him like you? How do you let him prove it? He almost cut his heart out."
"I'm sorry." Yan Qiu said, tears fell down in big drops, and soon there were traces on the dark suit.
"I'm not the one you should say I'm sorry." As Lin Jin said, he went back to his seat and picked up the painted and carved wooden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and walked over to hand it to him.
"He likes woodcarving, and he likes your work very much. He is in 103. You can go to him to make amends."
Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and wiped away his tears with his sleeve, then stood up and took the sitting statue in Lin Jin's hand, and said to him, "Thank you."
"Don't thank me, I'm not here for you." Lin Jin said helplessly, "Although he doesn't show his emotions, I know he's not happy recently. If you get back together soon, I can feel at ease."
"En." Yan Qiu nodded, holding the sitting Bodhisattva statue and preparing to leave.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he heard Lin Jin say behind him: "In fact, even if we still have to separate in the end, you didn't even fight for it, don't you feel regretful?"
Yan Qiu was a little stunned when he heard the words, and then he suddenly laughed, "The person who came here told you, it's very regrettable, so...don't imitate me."
Yan Qiu walked out the door holding the painted and carved wooden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and came all the way to 103.
Looking at the gate in front of him, all the pictures of these days suddenly appeared in front of him.
In fact, Lin Jin was right.
He really regrets it these days.
Even if he fills up all the time with all the wood carvings, he still can't help but think of Li Zhi.
Probably only when you really lose it once do you know how to cherish it.
He regrets it.
None of the inferiority complexes, fears, worries, dreads, and anxieties that weighed down on him were as deep as the pain of losing him these days.
Thinking of this, Yan Qiu hugged the statue of Bodhisattva tightly in his hand, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, a male voice came from inside, "Come in."
