Chapter 20: Angela (3)
"I agree to associate with you, but only in the ordinary sense of the word. I still have to focus on learning now, and as you may have heard, I'm a natural student who loves to learn but wasn't born to learn. I'm glad to have met someone as wonderful as you, but don't expect me to come into your life in a moment! ”
Under the repeated bombardment of Jose's brothers and sisters, Xiao An finally accepted his pursuit and planned to start with friends first: first, she has not completely walked out of her domestic love; The second is that she finds that she is old and really slow to learn things, and if she falls in love again, I am afraid that it will not be the icing on the cake at all, but will affect her grades. The love history and resume of those scholars do make her envious, but people are different from people, although there is potential to be tapped, but talent is predestined, it is brought by the previous life, if you don't work hard in this life, it is difficult to reach the level of those masters. In this regard, Xiao An is very self-aware, so he did not dare to rashly accept Jose's feelings.
"Well, I don't force you, anyway, at Marta, I already have some understanding of your character. In this way, since you said that you want to start from the ordinary, then let's follow your plan, I believe that with my sincerity and talent, I will be able to impress you in the end! ”
As he spoke, José had already brought Ann to his gallery, and in fact, as a bargaining chip, his lovely gallery and the equally art-filled restaurant had already attracted Ann to him. Therefore, for the disintegration of Xiao An's room, it is just a matter of whether she is hard or not, as long as she can figure it out herself, there is basically no problem.
"Angela, if you know a little bit about the Mexican art scene, I think you must be familiar with Frida."
"That's right, I've been very fond of her work for a long time, and I'm curious about her as a person." Ann followed José to a portrait of Frida and quietly admired it.
It's beautiful, it's really beautiful, it's just a pity that such a genius died young.
Geniuses are not so easy to come by, they always have to accompany those unusual encounters that ordinary people can't encounter, and they will be inspired to create works that will be admired by the world. But usually, such encounters are difficult and unfortunate, but there may be ecstatic art, in short, it is difficult to produce a peerless work in a peaceful state of mind and state.
Thinking of this, Xiao An began to carefully observe the facial expressions of the person in the painting: it is not surprising that her eyes are melancholy. But why, in her eyes, there seemed to be something like a liquid?
Probably because I'm dazzled, this is a still portrait, not a video, how can it give me the feeling that this painting is slowly changing? Could it be that my mood is very uneasy right now? No, it's normal! And this painting doesn't have any visual impact, and I don't feel stimulated, right? How could there be such a strange reaction?
Seeing that she seemed to be a little unwell, Jose gently pulled her out of there, "I still have some things to explain to my staff, you can appreciate it here first, and call me if you have anything!" So, he went back to his office, leaving Xiao An alone to continue admiring the paintings.
Because of José's painting of Frida, Xiao An always felt uneasy. Then she looked at a few more paintings, including landscapes and scenes, but in the end, she was still attracted by those portraits and stopped to concentrate on them.
The paintings are full of beautiful young women, and José is also very beautiful, but there is nothing special about it, and I don't know what kind of thought he wants to express. Because in Xiao An's understanding of him, he is a very individual person, but these paintings are mediocre in terms of concept and painting level, but they are still very popular in his gallery, especially those rich businessmen, who often clamored to buy them, but Jose doesn't know why they have not been sold, as if he vows to treat them as his own treasure. But it's enough to keep one or two such paintings, so why do you have to accumulate so much? Why is he, a man with an eye for money, reluctant to sell these paintings? Oh, presumably he's going to use it to increase the gallery's popularity. Also, his trick of casting a long line to catch big fish is indeed a quality that a businessman should have.
Well, a university professor, a painter, a businessman, a gourmet, and a man, Jose, you are the best product to survive in the 21st century.
Xiao An smiled, and then fell on the introduction of one of the paintings, and after reading them, he finally understood the value of these paintings and couldn't help but regret it: it turned out that the people in these paintings had passed away, and they had not been gone for a long time. These paintings were exhibited here with the consent of their families, and it is said that it is a good way to commemorate them.
People can't live forever, but it's always okay to keep the sound and smile of the world in other ways.
"Tick!"
A drop of water seeped out of the paper and smashed on the ground, Xiao An was sure that she heard correctly, she could clearly see the water seeping and dripping, and heard the "tick" with her own ears.
She wondered, how did this dry paper seep water? Could it be that there is a leak in the pipes upstairs or something? Xiao An thought about it carefully, and didn't remember that there was any water storage device in the same direction upstairs.
So what could it be? She simply went back to studying the painting.
There is no inlaid glass frame on the outside of the painting paper, it is directly exposed, Xiao An checked it, and found that the water seepage is the corner of the eye of the person in the painting.
Why, could it be that what I saw was their tears?
Xiao An was even more confused, but in curiosity, she couldn't help but reach out and touch the painting. But as soon as he was about to touch it, he saw the eyes of the person in the painting blink, but only for a moment, and soon returned to stillness, making Xiao Anzhi wonder if he was really dazzled.
No one is going to play any more jokes on me, is it? Xiao An remembered these days, because he suddenly appeared next to José, which attracted the jealousy of many girls, could it be that they wanted to scare me away in such a lame way?
Hmph, they underestimate me too much, it's okay to let me quit, anyway, I don't want to monopolize this man. Only, no matter what, let me debunk your pranks first.
Xiao An was still staring at the painting with blazing eyes, but she smiled evilly with bad intentions, and then she stole the bell with lightning speed, and she popped out two fingers and shot directly into the eyes of the person on the painting. I thought that they would be two holes dug up after being spoofed, and whose eyes must be peeping at everything in the hidden corner of the appreciator, and after Xiao An stretched out his finger without announcing it, those eyes would also suddenly hide back, and then reveal their identity.
However, everything was not as Xiao An thought, after poking her two fingers over, she did not catch the person who took it for granted, but was hit hard by the drawing board. Xiao An retracted his hand, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and looked at the person in the painting unwillingly, but saw that the eyes of the woman who was still very melancholy and weak before suddenly became sharp, as if she had changed from a herbivore woman to a carnivorous woman, and her eyes glared at Xiao An fiercely, as if to ask her about her recklessness just now.
Suck!
Xiao An was so frightened by this sudden scene that he took a few steps back, and didn't dare to look at the painting again for a long time.
