Chapter 138: "Rival in Love"

After Pi Zitao and the others left, the gallery regained its calm, and Li Ye and the handsome young man glanced at each other, but they didn't know how to communicate for a while.

Fortunately, at this moment, Han Ziyu, who had just gone to the bathroom to touch up her makeup, and didn't know what had just happened, came over.

"Huh, you're already here, I wanted to call you and ask when you'll be there!" Han Ziyu said with Li Ye with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, who is this?" Seeing that Han Ziyu and Li Ye looked very familiar, the handsome young man asked in surprise.

"His name is Li Ye, I mentioned it to you before!" Han Ziyu replied.

"Oh! It turns out that you are Li Ye, the special management bureau policeman who helped Ziyu investigate the case!" said the handsome young man suddenly.

Immediately, the handsome young man stretched out his right hand to Li Ye and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Luo Wenjie!"

"Hello!" Seeing this, Li also naturally stretched out his right hand out of politeness.

"Okay, now you know each other. Han Ziyu saw Li Ye and Luo Wenjie shaking hands amicably, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Li Ye, what do you think of Wen Jie's paintings?" Han Ziyu looked at Li Ye and asked.

"Uh!" Li Ye was stunned at first when he heard this, but then quickly reacted.

It turned out that the friend Han Ziyu was talking about on the phone was the handsome young man named Luo Wenjie in front of him.

"Very good, quite good! I think it's a bit of Wassily Kandinsky!"

Although Li also doesn't know much about oil painting, since Luo Wenjie is a friend of Han Ziyu, of course he has to compliment him. And in order not to appear low, Li also racked his brains to name an abstract painter he had seen in a certain report in the past.

"Yo! Li Ye! I can't see it! You still know Vasily Kandinsky!" Han Ziyu looked surprised, she just asked Li Ye how Luo Wenjie's painting was, but in fact, she just asked casually.

"Why, look down on me so much!" Li also asked dissatisfiedly, in order to save face, he could only continue to pretend.

"Mr. Li, you have praised it, Master Vasily is the founder of the abstract painting school, how can I get along with the master with this little trick!" Luo Wenjie smiled modestly again.

For those who like it, visiting an exhibition is a great pleasure (qíng), but for those who are purely here to make trouble, after a short period of novelty, they will be immersed in a long period of boredom and want to leave immediately.

There is no doubt that Lee falls into the latter category.

Li also followed Han Ziyu and Luo Wenjie (shēn), listening to the two of them chatting about oil painting, which made him completely unable to interject and only feel (rì) like a year.

It wasn't until Han Ziyu accidentally saw the wall clock hanging on the gallery wall that Li Ye ended this torturous trip to the exhibition.

"Wow! It's already twelve o'clock, time is so fast!" Han Ziyu looked at the time of the wall clock in surprise.

"Twelve o'clock?" Luo Wenjie, who was engaged in discussing his paintings with Han Ziyu, also showed a surprised expression (qíng).

"Since it's twelve o'clock, shouldn't we go to dinner?" Li was the only one of the three who couldn't wait to make his own suggestion.

Li didn't say it just now, Han Ziyu didn't feel it yet, but now that Li also mentioned eating, Han Ziyu really felt a little hungry.

"It's time for dinner!So what are we going to eat?" Han Ziyu asked.

"I can do whatever I want!" replied Li without thinking.

Now, as long as he can end this boring visit, Li doesn't care what he eats at all.

"Then let's go eat ......"

Later, after some discussion between Han Ziyu and Luo Wenjie, they decided to eat a very famous thorn (shēn) in the surrounding area.

In fact, Li was not very satisfied with the outcome of this discussion.

Li is also a more traditional person, and he still likes white rice, Chinese food, and of course barbecue hot pot compared to more Westernized foods such as shēn steak.

But who made Li Ye give up the right to speak at the beginning, so in the end, he could only pretend to be very happy to accept the choice of Han Ziyu and the others.

But in the end, Li Ye's meal was still very exhausted (xìng), because during the banquet, Luo Wenjie generously expressed that in order to thank Han Ziyu and Li Ye for coming to see his art exhibition, he invited this lunch.

A free lunch is always very good, especially in a very expensive high-end restaurant.

After lunch, Luo Wenjie, as the owner of the exhibition, naturally wanted to return to the gallery, while Li was hesitant to invite Han Ziyu to watch a movie.

But before Li could come up with a suitable reason, Han Ziyu had already decided to return to the gallery and continue to visit the exhibition.

"Li Ye, let's both go back to the gallery, what about you?" Han Ziyu turned his head and asked Li Ye.

"I ......" Li also hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth very unwillingly and said: "Mr. Luo's painting is really good, I also want to see it again!"

To be honest, Li Ye was very reluctant to go back to the gallery to suffer that sin, but when he thought that he had talked to Han Ziyu for less than ten words in the whole morning, and Luo Wenjie and Han Ziyu had a good conversation, he was very unwilling.

And faintly, Li can also feel that Luo Wenjie's attitude towards Han Ziyu is not like an ordinary friend, but more like an (ài) admirer.

At present, Li is naturally even more unable to walk away.

"Ziyu, what do you think of this painting?" Luo Wenjie asked Han Ziyu, pointing to an abstract painting composed of a few black lines and a dense pile of colored dots.

"Hmm!" Han Ziyu didn't answer immediately, but held his chin with his hand, and the god (qíng) looked at the painting in front of him very intently.

Li on the side also listened to Luo Wenjie ask Han Ziyu, so he also focused his eyes on the painting that Luo Wenjie pointed to, but no matter whether he looked up and down, or left and right, he couldn't see anything famous.

"Isn't this just a child's graffiti!" Li Ye, who refused to admit that his artistic cells were not enough, secretly pursed his lips and said disdainfully in his heart.

"Wen Jie, I think this painting is the best in this art exhibition you are organizing. However, to Li Ye's surprise, the answer given by Han Ziyu turned out to be the opposite of him.

"Oh! really!" Although Luo Wenjie was also quite satisfied with the work in front of him, he didn't expect Han Ziyu to give such a high evaluation.

"Hmm!" Han Ziyu nodded, and then said his understanding of the painting.

"The lines and dots on the painting are not only three-dimensional, but also give people a strong explosive abstract power, which can show a very pure spirit of the painter. Judging from the color and structure of the painting, I think you should be expressing a very happy heart (qíng). ”

"There is no one who knows me than you!" After listening to Han Ziyu's words, Luo Wenjie couldn't help laughing, obviously quite happy that Han Ziyu could understand his paintings.

From what point does this messy painting show pleasure?

Unlike Luo Wenjie, who can find a confidant for himself, Li Ye's heart (qíng) is a little complicated at the moment, and he feels a little confused and a little lost.

Li Ye thought that he had known Han Ziyu for the past few years, and he had a lot of understanding of Han Ziyu, but it was not until this moment that Li Ye realized that those understandings were only superficial.

In fact, he didn't know anything about Han Ziyu's interest (ài) and what he liked.

"Actually, I painted this painting when I went home after we went to the amusement park together last year. I was very happy that day, so I was also very inspired, and then it took me less than an hour to complete the painting with a paintbrush!" Luo Wenjie smiled and explained to Han Ziyu the origin of his painting.

"So, I still have half of the credit for this painting!" Han Ziyu said with a smile.

"Of course, I remember the day you were sweaty. Luo Wenjie remembered the (qíng) shape of that day, and touched Han Ziyu's hair very naturally.

Watching Han Ziyu and Luo Wenjie talking and laughing, as well as Luo Wenjie's last action of stroking Han Ziyu's hair, Li also felt a bit of stuffiness.

Li also wanted to join in the conversation between the two, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to follow the two (shēn) silently like an outsider.

For the rest of the afternoon, Li also did only one thing (qíng) the most, constantly looking up at the wall clock hanging on the gallery wall.

One minute, ten minutes, one hour......

The time seemed extraordinarily long in Li Ye's eyes, as if he usually squatted on a case-handling basis.

The only difference between the two may be that the environment in the gallery is not bad, at least the toilet does not have to be solved on the spot like squatting.

When the time reached half past five in the afternoon, the all-day exhibition was finally coming to an end.

It's finally over!

Seeing the visitors leaving the gallery one by one, Li Ye's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wen Jie!"

Just when Li was thinking about when Han Ziyu would propose to leave, he suddenly heard someone not far away shouting Luo Wenjie's name.

Li also followed the sound and saw a noblewoman dressed luxuriously and vaguely similar to Luo Wenjie walking towards them.

"Mom, why are you here!" Luo Wenjie also saw the noblewoman, and immediately greeted him excitedly, but it turned out that this noblewoman was Luo Wenjie's mother Yuan Danping.

"My son is holding an art exhibition, how can I not come as a mother!" Yuan Danping said with a smile.

"What about Dad, is my dad here?" asked Luo Wenjie.

"Don't mention it, just now your dad called to say that he couldn't come to the company because of something, and you said that your dad is really right, when can't the company's affairs be handled. Yuan Danping complained.

"It's okay!Mom, you can just come!Dad, is he also for work!" Luo Wenjie saw his mother's resentful face, and hurriedly relieved.

"Hello, aunt!" At this time, Han Ziyu and Li Ye also came to Yuan Danping, and Han Ziyu took the lead in greeting Yuan Danping.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, you're there too!" Yuan Danping saw Han Ziyu, and her face immediately showed a touch of joy.

Judging from Yuan Danping's name for Han Ziyu, it seems that Yuan Danping not only knows Han Ziyu, but is also very familiar with Han Ziyu.

"Yes, Wen Jie holds an art exhibition, of course I have to cheer for him!" Han Ziyu replied with a smile.

After greeting Han Ziyu for a few more words, Yuan Danping then moved her gaze to Li Ye (shēn) and asked, "This is!"

"Hello aunt, my name is Li Ye!" Li Ye saw Yuan Danping looking at him, and hurriedly replied.

"Li Ye, this name is good, you are also a friend of our family Wenjie, why have I never seen you in the past!" Yuan Danping asked with a little puzzlement.

"Uh......"

Li Ye was just about to answer, but Han Ziyu on the side suddenly interrupted him and spoke first: "Auntie, it's normal that you haven't seen Li, because he is my friend." ”

"Your friend?" Yuan Danping's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light.

Not long ago, Li Ye did me a favor, so I invited him to come to the exhibition with flowers and Buddhas today. When the exhibition is over, I'm going to treat him to another meal. Han Ziyu said.

Hearing Han Ziyu say that he would invite himself to dinner for a while, Li Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that his heart (qíng) had been depressed for almost a whole day, and he instantly became so good that he couldn't be better.
