44 Chapter 44
Guan Xiao slept in a daze, her eyes opened a slit and looked around, just facing Jin Yu's eyes, she was leaning sideways at this time and tilting her head to look at Guan Xiao's sleeping face carefully, she always woke up earlier than Guan Xiao, and then quietly watched her sleeping appearance, Guan Xiao's sleeping face was mixed with a hint of childish immaturity, the corners of her mouth would be curled up because of a beautiful dream, and even drooling, Jin Yu never told Guan Xiao, she regarded all this as her own welfare, so she never got tired, It's still the same this morning, "What to see" Guan Xiaoxiao smiled and covered his eyes with one arm, and gently blocked Jin Yu's eyes with one hand, and his voice was hoarse when he woke up.
"People still want to sleep" Guan Xiao closed his eyes and sprinkled coquettishly, like a kitten consciously attached to Jin Yu's body, buried his face in her chest, and felt the two pieces of softness squeezing his cheeks, soft and elastic. If collecting Guan Xiao's sleeping face is Jinyu's welfare, then Guan Xiao's benefit is burying his chest. Jin Yu's cup is much bigger than Guan Xiao, so she likes to knead and kiss, enjoying the excitement of it.
Jin Yu didn't say anything about her, just gently hugged her and let her bury her in her chest, and the warm snort sprayed on her skin, "Little lazy worm, I didn't eat seafood barbecue last night, don't you eat it today?" โ
"I want to eat, but I still want to sleep, Jin Yu has sleeping pills on her body" Guan Xiao, who closed her eyes, sniffed, and Jin Yu's unique body fragrance penetrated into her nose, making her enjoy the corners of her mouth.
"Baby, it's a good day, the sky is clear, and there are a lot of seabirds," Jin Yu could easily see the scenery outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the front, several cruise ships on the sea passed through the underground of the seaside bridge, the fierce sea breeze raised the scarves and light veils of the people standing on the deck, and a flock of seabirds shuttled back and forth in the sky, and some even circled around the โกโก, eating the food that the tourists threw in the air.
"Really? Is it? Guan Xiao, who was facing the floor-to-ceiling window, turned around, and the beautiful scenery that greeted her made Guan Xiao's mouth open slightly in surprise, she had never seen the real sea, and at the moment she saw it, she realized why the poets in those books praised the sea, and the melody of the enduring song "The Sea" echoed in Guan Xiao's mind.
Guan Xiao abandoned Jin Yu's arms and stretched out in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a wide view, "It's so beautiful!" Jin Yu I'm so excited" Guan Xiao looked back when the doorbell rang, Jin Yu got up from the bed and opened the door, there were two people standing outside, one of them was yesterday's front desk manager, and the other was probably a chef-like person, pushing a small food cart in front of him, which was like the extravagant life of a rich lady, the rhythm of reaching out for food to open her mouth.
"It feels so cool to be served" Guan Xiao looked for a long time to find such a word to describe it, such a wonderful feeling was actually experienced on the first day they came to the city, Guan Xiao picked up a piece of pancake and put it in his mouth, the thin crispy skin still floated with the smell of pineapple, not only not greasy but also very sweet and delicious. "Jin Yu, do you think we hit shit luck?" Guan Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa in front of the window and ate today's breakfast, the bright sun sprinkled on Guan Xiao's fair and delicate skin, the white shirt worn outside as pajamas hung loosely on the curvy body, and her long black hair was scattered on her chest at will.
"It's worthy of looking at romance," Jin Yu muttered quietly.
"What are you talking about, be louder" Guan Xiao pouted, grabbed the pillow on the sofa with a smile and threw it at Jin Yu, Jin Yu stretched out his hand and caught it steadily, "I said, Li Da Beauty is so good-looking, but she looks too stupid"
"Phew, bah, bah, you have to look at it stupidly, who made you the woman who made you laugh at me Li Guan"
"Okay, okay, I'm your woman," Jin Yu also picked up a piece of pastry and squeezed into the sofa, sitting side by side with Guan Xiao, enjoying the unobstructed scenery.
"By the way, Jinyu, what is the origin of your watch?" Guan Xiao grabbed a bite of the cake in Jin Yu's hand, and handed the pancake in his hand to Jin Yu in exchange with her.
"This watch" Jin Yu leaned over and picked up the silver-white watch from the bedside table, the whole watch looks very ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it has fine carvings, and there are small engravings on the hour and minute hands in the center of the dial, and in order to show the delicacy of the mechanical industry, in the center of the dial, a half-moon in the center of the dial is a constantly rotating gear. Guan Xiao carefully admired it and flipped through the watch, and she suddenly found a few English letters engraved on the back of the watch, "What does this mean?" โ
Jin Yu touched the bridge of his nose and shook his head a little embarrassedly, "I don't know, this watch is a gift I received four years after my mother's death, there was a letter in it, probably saying that this watch was a custom watch made for her by a deceased friend of my mother before her death, it is estimated that the person did not know that my mother had passed away for four years, so I kept this watch with me"
"Huh? Is these words your mother's initials? Guan Xiao guessed.
Jin Yu shook his head, "No, my mother's name is Qiu Lanfeng, and these abbreviations are not her name."
"That's true, this is also your mother's relic, you have to keep it well, so you didn't have the curiosity to investigate this sender?"
"The other party didn't write the exact address at all, and I couldn't find it, but I heard the manager say yesterday that this watch was made by an old friend of hers, and it was probably that person" Jin Yu's gaze fell back on the watch, and she touched the dial thoughtfully.
"Then what are you waiting for, I'll go to the art exhibition today, in case you meet that Mrs. Xue, you can also ask clearly, this is an opportunity arranged by God for you," Guan Xiao easily persuaded Jin Yu with this. The two hit it off and immediately called the gallery, which they didn't expect was that the gallery not only gave them free tickets, but also sent a special car to pick them up, which was simply an incredible treatment.
The luxury car drove them towards the art gallery, and the careful Jin Yu found that the driver in the car was wearing the same uniform as the driver who came to the airport to pick up the uncle and wait for Mrs. Xue at the door of the hotel yesterday.
"Excuse me, is the Merlin Gallery just an art gallery?" Jin Yu pondered for a moment and asked. When the driver saw Jin Yu answering with him, he replied very enthusiastically, with pride in his tone, "Yes, the Meilin Art Museum is an art gallery, but it is a private art gallery established by Wu, the largest shareholder of Sanding Pharmaceutical."
"Sanding Pharmaceutical? My god didn't expect that an art gallery also has a background" Jin Yu sighed, things in society really can't be blinded, and many things you don't see are things you can't guess.
"Two young ladies, the Meilin Art Museum has arrived" The driver reminded Jin Yu and Guan Xiao, Jin Yu only then noticed that they had not been talking for a long time along the way and had already opened to the front of the Meilin Art Museum, the lintel of this painting hall is a few big characters mentioned with a brush, the decoration style is a green lacquer mahogany door, the whole exudes an antique taste, which is more like a unique tea house, as soon as the two entered the door, they saw several oil paintings hanging in the narrow corridor, Jin Yu saw at a glance that the brushwork and skills of oil painting are not very mature and sophisticated.
When Jin Yu was in school, a senior sister who had a crush was an oil painting major, at that time she quietly went to the studio to take a look at the senior sister who was painting inside, and then quietly left, she volunteered to participate in the school's work-study activities, every day she would go to the studio where the senior sister painted after everyone left, and cleaned it there, and wiped the easel she used several times, in order to be closer to her, Jin Yu even went to learn about oil painting, so she had a certain amount of research in oil painting, although time has passed, the senior sister graduated, she didn't know that there was a school girl who worked as a cleaner who had a crush on her for four years, and Jin Yu slowly let go of that relationship, but the experience from the study stayed in her mind forever, which was a trace of her bumpy growth road.
The two of them stepped on the wooden staircase, spiraling all the way up, and when they reached the second floor, they suddenly became enlightened, the narrow entrance door was such a vast area, on the whitewashed walls on both sides, hung a series of exquisite and painterly paintings, there are oil paintings, gouache, sketches, and even Chinese paintings, such a messy exhibition of paintings is not dazzling, they all revolve around a basic theme, that is, natural harmony. Guan Xiao didn't know how to paint, but she found that the scenery inside was very charming, so that laymen were confused by those colors after seeing it.
"Qiu Jinyu, Miss Qiu, Li Guan Xiao, Miss Li, right" Jin Yu and Guan Xiao were interrupted by a voice in their pleasant appreciation. As soon as the two turned their heads, they saw the uncle on the plane that day, and a woman standing behind him, that woman Jin Yu and Guan Xiao recognized at a glance, that is, they saw Mrs. Xue in the hotel at night.
"We are..." Jin Yu took his gaze back from the woman's face and answered the uncle's words. She didn't dare to look at this woman anymore, she always felt that there was something in her eyes that she couldn't understand.
The uncle shook hands with them one by one, "Thank you so much for watching my art exhibition." โ
"Mr. Zhang, don't say that, we are just nobodies, it is really an honor to invite us to such an elegant place," Jin Yu said politely. From the moment she spoke, the woman standing behind her had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. And nodded at the two of them.
"I'm here to introduce to you, this is my wife, Xue Jiyue, I heard her say that she saw you in the hotel yesterday, that's really a coincidence, it seems that it is necessary to invite the two of you to have a meal together after the end of the exhibition today" The uncle clapped his hands happily, he likes beautiful things very much, beautiful women and beautiful women together, he feels that such a picture is not unacceptable, and even he is a little attracted by such a different kind of romance.
"How embarrassing is this, Guan Xiao and I have already caused trouble to your wife yesterday, and today we let you break the bank, this is not appropriate" Jin Yu politely refused, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Xue spoke, "Don't worry about anything, we don't have anything, we are still fateful, so don't refuse"
Having said that, the two of them couldn't postpone it any longer so they could only agree to this proposal, so the four of them began to admire the paintings one by one in the gallery, and Jin Yu looked at Mrs. Xue from time to time, her beauty did not wither because of age, but made her uniquely charming, and it was not only time that stayed on her face, but also a kind of demeanor and consciousness. Jin Yu glanced at it a few more times, she always felt that this woman looked a little familiar, but she didn't know where she had seen it, maybe it was just an inexplicable sense of immediacy.
