Day 2.

In the afternoon, the sky is cloudless, the breeze blows, and the heat of the past is swept away, which is a rare and comfortable weather.

Lin Wenxuan came to the exhibition hall as promised to wait for Qu Mengnan, standing in front of the door, looking at the magnificent building behind her, her eyes seemed to have a river of stars flowing.

After coming to San Francisco for so long, this was the first time she had participated in such a large-scale event.

Lin Wenxuan does not know much about art, and she has heard of several well-known painters who held the exhibition this time, but she has never even seen the classic paintings in their hands. Before I came, I thought it would be like a normal exhibition, but it wasn't until I stood here that Lin Wenxuan noticed the difference.

Everyone who came here was carefully dressed, like a grand banquet of high society, compared to the luxurious clothes on their bodies, Lin Wenxuan felt that the white dress she wore was a little too simple.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Just as Lin Wenxuan was staring at those who had entered with invitations in a daze, Qu Mengnan gently patted her shoulder from behind.

Lin Wenxuan came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Qu Mengnan who was wearing a small black dress, and smiled slightly: "I see that many of them can only enter with invitations, we don't have invitations, can we get in......?"

"Be confident, you are very beautiful now!" Qu Mengnan smiled and encouraged, and then took out two invitations from his bag, "Oh, you and I have one, now come in with me to see the art exhibition!"

"Two invitations, how did you do that?"

Receiving the invitation letter handed to her by Qu Mengnan, Lin Wenxuan had a look of surprise in her eyes.

Qu Mengnan squeezed her eyes and smiled playfully: "I'm a well-known reporter, just two invitations, it's not difficult for me." Besides, one of the painters who held the exhibition was an old friend of mine. ”

This time, Lin Wenxuan couldn't help but admire Qu Mengnan even more.

From meeting her by chance to following her to a fitness club to talk, Lin Wenxuan found many things she envied from Qu Mengnan.

She envied her free life, she admired her lively and cheerful personality, and now, she envied her work even more, and envied the achievements and status she had, which made her admire.

If she had grown up in the Yin family smoothly when she was a child, what would she be like now?

Yin Xinyan's character is not a problem with her parents' education, but from the beginning, her mind was not pure. Lin Wenxuan is different from her, if she has undergone excellent education and training, will she be as gentle as her mother now, or as lively and cheerful as her aunt?

Thinking like this, Lin Wenxuan had already followed Qu Mengnan into the exhibition hall in a daze.

The huge exhibition hall is extremely luxurious, with white ceilings, white floor tiles, beige walls, crystal chandeliers, Lin Wenxuan only felt that everything in front of her was dazzling, and she was stunned for a while.

Qu Mengnan smiled: "Don't stand at the door in a daze, I'll take you to take a good look at the works of these famous artists." ”

Saying that, regardless of whether Lin Wenxuan came back to her senses or not, Qu Mengnan pulled Lin Wenxuan to follow the crowd and walked forward.

This time she invited Lin Wenxuan to come to the exhibition, Qu Mengnan was still selfish.

Last time in the fitness club, listening to Lin Wenxuan talk about her experience, Qu Mengnan had a faint feeling of kindness in her heart. Especially when she mentioned the Yin family in Bihu City to Lin Wenxuan, and mentioned the names of Yin Xinyan and Yin Xinyue, the fleeting sadness in Lin Wenxuan's eyes is hard for her to forget to this day.

What is the reason why Lin Wenxuan didn't answer?

Qu Mengnan felt that there were only two reasons, one was that Lin Wenxuan still didn't know her life experience, but she might have been in contact with the Yin family. The other is that Lin Wenxuan already knows her identity, but she is unfamiliar because of the perennial separation, and she is embarrassed to recognize her family.

But Lin Wenxuan didn't want to say it, Qu Mengnan didn't want to test too much, the best way was to knock on the side.

If she remembers correctly, when Yin Xinyue was young, she was very talented in drawing and won awards. Today, I specially invited Lin Wenxuan to follow her to see this art exhibition, because Qu Mengnan knew that there was a painting in it, which was very special.

That painting was not painted by several painters who held the exhibition this time, but was collected by Qu Mengnan, an old friend.

Standing in front of the starry sky of Van Gogh, Qu Mengnan smiled slightly: "Do you like this painting?"

"Starry sky?" Lin Wenxuan frowned, "Isn't this a work by Van Gogh?

"Of course, this can't be true, it's just a high imitation painting, but the imitation is superb, so it will be collected by my old friend. I once knew a person who liked this painting very much, and even swore in front of me that she would become a painter when she grew up, and she would bring this starry sky to life in front of my eyes with a brush, but I don't know if this promise can be fulfilled again......"

Qu Mengnan said while secretly looking at Lin Wenxuan from the corner of her eye.

You must know that these words in her mouth were all sworn by Yin Xinyue when she was young and promised her. At that time, Yin Xinyue had just won the first prize in the city's painting competition, and she had always loved painting, and she was also inspired to become a painter.

But then ......

Thinking of this, Qu Mengnan closed her eyes a little uncomfortably, quietly waiting for Lin Wenxuan's response.

Lin Wenxuan was recalled by Qu Mengnan's words, but she didn't say anything.

She didn't know if Qu Mengnan was just simply nostalgic or tentative, just looking at this painting, Lin Wenxuan suddenly thought of her childhood, thought of the warmth and joy at that time, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

Just as she wanted to comfort Qu Mengnan for a few words, the mobile phone in her bag suddenly rang.

Feeling the strange eyes of the visitors around her, Lin Wenxuan hurriedly took out her mobile phone and pressed the mute button, and smiled apologetically.

How could she be so stupid that she forgot to mute?

However, at this time, who is okay to call her?

Lin Wenxuan lowered her head and looked at the name displayed on the phone screen, Qin Jiaxi.

Shouldn't China be early in the morning? Why did Qin Jiaxi call her at this time?

Seeing that Qu Mengnan also cast a confused gaze, Lin Wenxuan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the side to answer the phone first...... Hey, Jiaxi, why did you call me at this time? Don't you have to sleep?"

Lin Wenxuan lowered her voice, turned around and walked to a place not far away where there were no paintings on display, and connected the phone.

"Hey, guess where I am?"

Qin Jiaxi's voice was exceptionally relaxed and pleasant, but it was also difficult to hide the tiredness that it carried.

Lin Wenxuan frowned, "Where else can you be at night? What happened to you? Did something happen?"

"Did you accompany your aunt to see the art exhibition?" Qin Jiaxi did not answer Lin Wenxuan's question, but asked again.

"Yes, but what does this have to do with you calling me?" Lin Wenxuan was confused.

"You just don't move where you are standing now, turn around, look up, and tell me, what do you see?"

Although Lin Wenxuan was confused, she still did what Qin Jiaxi said. Turning around, I looked up, and there was only a billboard for an art exhibition, and nothing else.

"I only saw one billboard, what else ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Wenxuan saw the person who came out from behind the billboard, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

The hand holding the phone slowly drooped, and Lin Wenxuan looked fixedly at Qin Jiaxi, who was only a hundred meters away from her, and a fog suddenly rose in her eyes.

Qin Jiaxi hung up the phone and smiled slightly: "How is it? Have you been pleasantly surprised by me? Don't worry, I also brought you a small gift, I saw it on the way here, I think you will like it, you open it first?"

As he spoke, he took out a bag as if by magic and wanted to hand it to Lin Wenxuan.

Xu hadn't seen her for too long, and suddenly saw someone she was familiar with here, Lin Wenxuan's suppressed grievances and loneliness seemed to explode in an instant, her eyes were slightly red, and tears overflowed her eyes in an instant.

Without waiting for Qin Jiaxi to come over, she couldn't help but run over and hugged him tightly.

Feeling the familiar temperature, Lin Wenxuan closed her eyes and burst into tears, "Jiaxi, why are you here? Why didn't you say a word to me when you came to the United States? If I knew you were coming, I should have picked you up." ”

"Little fool, aren't you glad I'm here?

Qin Jiaxi stretched out her hand and hugged Lin Wenxuan tightly, and the softest place in her heart hurt in an instant.

How could she lose so much weight?

So, she must not be happy here, right?

If it weren't for the inexplicable video call yesterday afternoon, Qin Jiaxi would not have been so worried about Lin Wenxuan's life. But only after communicating yesterday did I know that Lin Wenxuan was here alone, and her life was so lonely and cold.

So, that afternoon, he immediately booked a ticket to San Francisco, USA, and rushed over without delay.

He wanted to see her, but he knew that she wanted to see him too.

Since she can't return to China now, let him drop everything and come over to accompany her. As long as she is there, he is satisfied.

Xu didn't see Lin Wenxuan come back for a long time, Qu Mengnan thought she was lost, and hurriedly looked for her: "Wenxuan, Wenxuan, are you here?" I just called you and couldn't get through, if you are there, you will respond, you ......."

Turning the corner, Qu Mengnan saw two people hugging each other affectionately at a glance.

Hearing the movement, Lin Wenxuan hurriedly let go of Qin Jiaxi, wiped away the tears on her face in a panic, turned her head and smiled at Qu Mengnan hard.

"I'm sorry Sister Nan, but you are worried about me. ”

Qu Mengnan shook his head, "It's okay, who is this young man next to you?"

Qu Mengnan took a step forward and looked at Qin Jiaxi who was standing beside Lin Wenxuan with some confusion.

Lin Wenxuan hurriedly smiled and introduced: "He is my best friend since I was a child, and he came to see me and surprise me." Jiaxi, this is the Sister Nan I mentioned to you before, Qu Mengnan. ”

When introducing Qu Mengnan, Lin Wenxuan squeezed her eyes at Qin Jiaxi.

Qin Jiaxi naturally knew that this was the aunt in Lin Wenxuan's mouth, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and greeted politely: "Hello, my name is Qin Jiaxi, it's a pleasure to meet you." I heard Xuanxuan say that you take good care of her, and she is alone in the United States during this time, thanks to you. ”

"Don't say that, we've only known each other for a short time, and I didn't take care of her. Qu Mengnan shook hands with a smile and continued softly, "Wenxuan, since you have a friend here, don't accompany me to see the art exhibition, take your friend around!"

"Is it okay?" Lin Wenxuan was a little embarrassed.

Qu Mengnan nodded, "Of course you can! you can rest assured that you can play with your friends, I won't mind." ”

Thinking that it was a little strange for the two of them to follow Qu Mengnan to see the art exhibition, Lin Wenxuan took a deep breath: "Then I can only apologize for missing the company, my friend and I will go first, see you next time!"

"See you next time!"

Seeing Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi walk away, Qu Mengnan took a deep breath and was ready to return to the exhibition hall.

Thinking of Lin Wenxuan's face when she saw the painting just now, somehow, Qu Mengnan felt more and more that Lin Wenxuan looked like Yin Xinyue.
