Story 61 Harboring a Ghost (1)
After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, Ruping doesn't know how many times she has been to such an art exhibition, and her ultimate goal in life is to open an art exhibition of her own, but now she is still too far from this goal.
As soon as she graduated, she knew what it meant to be "the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny!" Before, she had too many expectations for her future, but when she really stepped into the society, the weight of five buckets of rice could bend her waist, and she had to work as a painting artist in a decoration company in order to live.
Although I can paint every day, it's not that I can paint whatever I want, but I can paint whatever others ask you to paint, the most disgusting time is that a male customer actually asked Ruping to paint his own **** portrait in his living room, fortunately, she later knew that this guy was a GAY, and her heart was less disgusting!
Today's exhibition is a painting by a modern painter named Qiubai, and it is said that this person's paintings are very popular now, and the good painting is naturally on the one hand, and on the other hand, this painter is very mysterious, and many people have only seen his paintings, but have not seen him himself.
And his art exhibition Ruping is not the first time to come today, she found that there will be several new works on display in each art exhibition, and every time it can become the focus of the exhibition, this time Qiubai's new works have no name, the painting is a young man in white fluttering, holding an umbrella standing quietly next to an old banyan tree, as if waiting for someone, is it his beloved girl?
Ruping fell in love with this painting at a glance, the young man's expression made her feel distressed, and she had an urge to walk into the painting, then she found that there was a pen on the name plate in front of the painting, so she didn't want to write the words "white clothes fluttering" on the name plate.
When she finished writing, she knew that she regretted it, this was someone's art exhibition, how could she be embarrassed to write by hand? At this time, a staff member came over, and Ruping secretly screamed in her heart when she saw it, and people must have said that she was coming.
But Ruping didn't expect the staff to invite her to the side and said, "This lady, Mr. Qiubai once said that if anyone names this painting, then he will give this painting to whoever it is free, please go here with me to go through the formalities!" ”
It wasn't until Ruping took the painting home that she really felt that all this was true, she didn't expect to get a painting of Qiubai, she put the painting in the middle of the living room, and stared at the painting obsessively all night!
Ruping got up late the next morning, or the boss called her, and she slowly woke up from the dream, what kind of dream would make her not want to get up at all? Ruping herself didn't know because she forgot!
Today's work is to paint New Year's pictures for a restaurant in the Northeast, because Ruping is more or less distracted, and the proportion of the painting is a little out of balance, but I didn't expect the proprietress to be very satisfied, saying that this is the effect she wants.
Ruping walked out of the restaurant with the money with a wry smile, this may be the ugliest painting she painted, but she got the most beautiful praise, after work, Ruping was still thinking about that dream, what did she dream of? Why do you blush and heartbeat unconsciously when you think about it?
Ruping usually eats very casually at night, and tonight is no exception, a bowl of instant noodles is all done, so she came to the living room with the rice bowl, and suddenly, Ruping found that this painting seemed to be a little different from yesterday!
But what's the difference? Ruping couldn't say it for a while, but this feeling was very strong! So she stared at it carefully for a while, and finally let her find out the change in this painting, that is, the young man in the painting seemed to be less melancholy, and there was still a little smile on his face, and he smiled unconsciously when he saw this Ruping!
I had a good night's dream, and I received a call from my boyfriend Zhuo Yang in the morning, saying that he was going to take a train to see Ruping tonight, in fact, Ruping and Zhuo Yang started a long-distance relationship after graduating from college, and they have been insisting on it for several years, but some time ago, the relationship between the two began to become a little cold.
Maybe Zhuo Yang wants to get back his original feeling this time, Ruping thought stupidly, but how long can they last in a long-distance relationship with no hope? Zhuo Yang didn't know, and Ruping herself didn't know.
However, after getting off work in the evening, Ruping still went to the train station to pick up Zhuo Yang, and the two of them went to a restaurant with a decent atmosphere to eat.
When he first graduated, Zhuo Yang became an art teacher in a middle school in his hometown because of his parents.
But Ruping doesn't want to go back to the town of his hometown and live like this for the rest of her life, she wants to go out to see, want to open her own art exhibition, and want to go abroad for further study! She has too many dreams waiting for her to realize them one by one, instead of marrying some art teacher and living a life of firewood, rice, oil and salt!
But Ruping was reluctant to let them have a relationship for a few years, so she kept a long-distance relationship, and Zhuo Yang was also waiting, waiting for when Ruping would stop dreaming, and then start her own family with him.
Ruping took a bite of the ribs on the table, and she saw that Zhuo Yang had something to say, but she didn't know how to speak, so she smiled and said, "What's wrong?" Do you have anything to say to me? ”
Zhuo Yang was stunned for a moment, then put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Ruping fixedly, "My mother is urging me again, she hopes that we can get married as soon as possible, Ruping, you are not very comfortable living in this city now, you paint all day long What you don't like, why don't you go home with me, I asked my mother to arrange for you to work in a primary school, be a primary school teacher, isn't it good to teach children?" ”
Ruping sighed heavily and said, "Zhuo Yang, do you know what my dream is, and you let me give up before I start, isn't this too cruel for me!" ”
"Do you dream of being able to eat? What art academy graduate has not dreamed, but in the end? Don't you still have to bow to reality? Ruping, can we be realistic, I beg you, just go home for me and me, okay! Zhuo Yang said almost pleadingly.
But Ruping looked at Zhuo Yang with a very unfamiliar look, is this still the Zhuo Yang she knew at the beginning? Is it because he has changed, or that he doesn't know him at all?
The words that came to her mouth were swallowed back by Ruping, she could only be silent, because she didn't know what to say, Ruping just knew that there was nothing wrong with a person insisting on his dream, even if this dream could never come true.
Zhuo Yang saw Ruping so silent, and he had the answer in his heart, so he took a sip of beer and finally said the purpose of tonight, "Ruping, I can't wait, why don't we break up!" ”
Ruping's heart trembled when she heard this, and the cup in her hand fell on the table, spilling water on her body...... After so many years of affection, she knew in her heart that Zhuo Yang couldn't be blamed, after all, he had been waiting for him for so many years.
Ruping tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and then said softly, "Okay, I agree, it's just that it's too late today, you and I go home for one night, and then leave tomorrow, okay?" ”
Zhuo Yang wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ruping's eyes, his heart softened, so the two of them returned to Ruping's place together after eating.
Ruping brought Zhuo Yang a quilt, and then whispered, "This house is very cold in the living room at night, you cover it, don't catch a cold!" ”
Zhuo Yang nodded and took the quilt, then he glanced at the painting standing in the living room and asked, "This is what you painted?" ”
Ruping shook her head and said, "No, it was given by a painter who has never seen it, because I like it very much, so I don't know where to hang it, so I have been standing in the living room." ”
Zhuo Yang looked at the furnishings in the living room, then pointed to the wall on the guide side and said, "It's just right to hang here, otherwise this wall will also be empty, and the overall effect will come out after hanging it!" ”
Ruping agreed, "Well, that's good, it seems that your professional talent is still there!" ”
It was a joke, but it made both of them silent, and finally Zhuo Yang said, "Are there nails and hammers, I'll hang them up for you!" ”
Ruping hurriedly went to find it, avoiding the embarrassing scene just now, and Zhuo Yang also took the painting to find a place on the wall, he took the hammer and nail that Ruping found and wanted to nail it into the position he had just found, but he accidentally knocked on his hand, and the blood flowed down in an instant.
One of the drops happened to drop on the painting, Ruping hurriedly helped Zhuo Yang stop the bleeding, and then bandaged it, and when she looked at the painting again, she found that the blood just now was gone!
In the end, Zhuo Yang insisted on hanging the painting, the position was just right, and it felt different when I hung it! Ruping saw that he was a little tired, so she went back to her room to sleep!
At night, Zhuo Yang couldn't sleep looking at the ceiling, he was thinking about what he had been insisting on in the past few years? Suddenly, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, it was the feeling that someone was looking at him.
Human beings are very sensitive creatures, and when a pair of eyes are peeking at them, most people react, especially Zhuo Yang, because at this time his fingers have no reason to hurt......
So he got up from the couch and paced around the living room, trying to find out the origin of that feeling, when suddenly, as he walked past the painting on the wall, he froze, and then he slowly turned his head to look at the painting.
The expression of the young man in the painting seems to have changed a little, not as gentle as it looked just now, it seems to be a little more angry, at this time the light in the living room is very dim, Zhuo Yang can't see it clearly at all, it's just a feeling.
Suddenly, he thought he was so funny that he was nervous about a painting, so he shook his head and walked back to the sofa, ready to fall asleep, and he had to catch the train tomorrow morning!
Ruping slept until midnight, and suddenly felt that there was someone in the house, she opened her eyes in a daze, and there was a person standing in front of the bed, she hurriedly turned on the lamp in fright, but when she saw the person in front of her, she was stunned...... (To be continued.) )
