Ning Chaoxi was still chatting with Chen Xun at first, but later she couldn't hold it anymore, so she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, they had already arrived.

The birthday banquet was held in the evening, and the venue was at the home of Mr. Ying Zhonghua, Ning Chaoxi was somewhat nervous and overwhelmed by this banquet, with the other party's status and prestige in the art world, there would definitely be many celebrities and master-level figures, but she didn't know any of them, and she had never participated in such a large-scale banquet.

Zhou Xin wanted to go home directly, and separated from them at the intersection of the traffic light, because the birthday banquet was held at night, and it was too time-consuming to come and go, so they planned to stay in S City for one night, and then go back the next day, Chen Xun took her to the hotel to put her luggage first, he asked for two rooms at the front desk, and handed one to Ning Chaoxi after getting the room card.

Their rooms were next to each other, Ning Chaoxi took the luggage into the room, she put on the dress that Chen Xun bought for her before, simply packed herself, and went out, as soon as she closed the door, the door of the room next to her was opened, and Chen Xun walked out of it.

Although it was not the first time he had seen him in a suit and leather shoes, when he saw it again, Ning Chaoxi couldn't help but be stunned.

The figure in front of him was tall and slender, wearing a straight suit on his body, lining his elegant and handsome face, showing that his whole person was more and more handsome and extraordinary.

"Is it cold?" Chen Xun saw her come out and asked.

Ning Chaoxi's skirt is sleeveless, she put on a small coat outside, the temperature in S City is not low today, it is just right for her to wear it like this, hearing this, she shook her head: "It's not cold." ”

She walked over, Chen Xun took her hand and held it in the palm of her hand to test the temperature, her palm was warm, as she said, not cold.

Ning Chaoxi lowered his eyes, a warm current passed through his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

She noticed that Chen Xun was still holding an ancient wooden box in his hand, and she was curious: "Is it a gift for Master Ying?" ”

"Well, the teacher likes to collect antiques, and this is what Zheng Xu specially went to find."

"Will Zheng Xu come too?"

"He'll come."

Ning Chaoxi raised his eyebrows: "I thought he hated Master Ying so much as he said before, and this birthday banquet would not come." ”

Chen Xun pursed his lips and smiled: "There will be a lot of celebrities at this banquet, and he is mainly here to make friends." ”

Ning Chaoxi bent his eyes: "Sure enough, it's a businessman, and he didn't forget to make connections when he came to this kind of occasion." ”

Chen Xun took her to Mr. Ying Zhonghua's mansion, there were already many people in the villa, they entered the living room, Ning Chaoxi saw Zhou Xin receiving guests, she also changed into an elegant dress, chatting with others with a gentle smile on her face, and walked over after seeing them enter the door.

"Ah Xun, Miss Ning, you are here, your grandfather is in the study on the second floor, you can just go up to him."

Chen Xun nodded, and took Ning Chaoxi to the second floor, Mr. Ying was in the study on the second floor and chatted with several old friends who used to study oil painting, and when he heard a knock on the door, the conversation ended abruptly, the door of the study was open, and several people inside were famous masters in the painting world, Chen Xun greeted them one by one.

Someone said: "Yo, Zhong Hua, your proud protégé is finally here, okay, the next time will be left to you teachers and students." ”

After saying that, the group of them left the study.

Ying Zhonghua touched the beard on his chin, looked at the person with a pair of sharp eyes, and said in a thick and old voice: "It's here." ”

"Teacher."

Ying Zhonghua let out a deep 'um' sound, and turned his gaze to the person beside him: "Who is this?" ”

"This is my girlfriend, Ning Chaoxi."

"Teacher Ying is good." Ning Chaoxi said politely, the light in his big eyes flickered, and he bent his eyebrows and eyes with a pleasing and well-behaved appearance, which was easy to make people feel good.

"Good ......" Ying Zhonghua touched his beard and smiled, "This kid said last time he came to me and said that he would bring someone to show me, I thought it was a little girl." ”

After a few words of greeting, Ying Zhonghua got up from his position: "There are a lot of people below, let's go, accompany me to take a look." ”

Chen Xun stepped forward to help him, Ying Zhonghua waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to help, the three of them went out of the study, and as soon as they appeared at the staircase, the guests on the first floor stopped talking and looked at each other, and a few people also came up to greet him: "Oh, the old gentleman is really old and strong, and he is still so energetic." ”

Ning Chaoxi followed Chen Xun and accompanied Ying Zhonghua downstairs, passing by, and she didn't know any of these people who came up, but most of these people knew Chen Xun, and some of them were a little older, and they deliberately lowered their posture when talking to him, looking very polite.

Most of the people who came to the birthday banquet today were Ying Zhonghua's students and master painters in the painting world, and everyone gathered around to discuss the trends and development of painting, and what other country's painting masters have recently painted that amazed the world, some people are saying: "Qi An's "Landscape Ink" won the nomination award and the outstanding work award at the Louvre International Art Exhibition in France, and there is also the Canadian Robert Justsovis who is famous for his surrealist style......

What Qi'an is surrealism, Ning Chaoxi found that she couldn't understand a word, she looked up at the people around her, she noticed that Chen Xun listened very carefully, from time to time someone asked him questions, he could put forward his own opinions and opinions, not much to say, but obviously no matter what they were discussing, he could understand and know everything.

Ning Chaoxi looked around, and saw Zheng Xu, who was dressed in a handsome suit, was chatting happily with several celebrities, her words were calm and natural, and as soon as she turned her eyes, Zhou Xin was standing not far from her, and her every move was a natural and elegant demeanor.

and Chen Xun beside him, dressed in a wide suit, with an excellent appearance, surrounded by the crowd in the middle, still clear and calm, neither humble nor arrogant, Ning Chaoxi did not suddenly come over until this moment, the man standing next to her has really become a celebrity in everyone's mouth, and he has also stood at the height of the master for everyone to admire.

Ning Chaoxi suddenly felt that she was out of place with this place, she thought, it turns out that this world is really divided into several kinds of people, some people are born destined to mix in this kind of occasion, and some people are just insignificant members of the ordinary population, every day with the crowd, such a gap is actually a bit terrible.

What made her even more flustered was that she didn't know when Chen Xun was also a person who belonged to this kind of occasion.

Just like at this moment, the man standing next to her made Ning Chaoxi a little unfamiliar, this feeling was the same as the feeling when she saw him in the bookstore wearing an expensive costume and when she stepped into his villa a few days ago, she felt very unreal.

Such Chen Xun is undoubtedly excellent, he has become a famous painter according to his ideals, but she did not imagine that she would become a person who can stand side by side with him as they agreed at the beginning. She thought that why she was so obsessed with writing and publishing books before, and at this moment she had all the answers, and the sense of disparity that had been lurking in her heart some time ago suddenly rose.

She suddenly lost the confidence to be able to stand beside him.

"This is Mr. Chen Xun's girlfriend, are you also engaged in painting?" Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard someone ask her this.

"I'm not." Ning Chaoxi smiled awkwardly.

The man saw that Chen Xun and Ying Zhonghua couldn't get in, so he simply got close to Ning Chaoxi: "It's not that I said, Mr. Chen Xun is really amazing, he can get a place in the painting world at such a young age, and the "Homecoming" was created back then, which really amazed the entire art world, and the painting is still on display in the art museum in New York." ”

"Also, at the beginning of this year, the contemporary art museum in the capital also exhibited many works of Mr. Chen Xun, you should have seen it, that series of paintings about the characters is really eye-opening, it is really worthy of the proud protégé of Master Ying Zhonghua, it is really better than the blue."

Listening to the man's words, Ning Chaoxi could only respond with a dry smile, what he said, she really never understood, about what happened to Chen Xun in the past eight years, she only knew from him and Zheng Xu's mouth, and the rest really knew very little, and she couldn't integrate into Chen Xun's conversation with these people, and after the whole banquet, she followed him like a marionette who couldn't speak, this feeling was very weak and frustrating.

The man still wanted to continue talking to her, but Chen Xun walked over and stared at the strange man who wanted to be close to Ning Chaoxi, his eyes were deep and quiet, he squinted slightly, and said briefly: "I'm sorry." He took Ning Chaoxi and left.

The dinner started, two large tables were set up in the dining room, Chen Xun took her to sit with Ying Zhonghua, her mood had become dull and bad since just now, and after finishing dinner, she only focused on the dishes in front of her, and because tonight's meal did not suit her appetite, she ate very little.

On the way back, Chen Xun drove her back to the hotel, and when he encountered a red light at the intersection, he stopped, turned his eyes to look at the person who suddenly became silent and quiet tonight, different from usual.

Ning Chaoxi looked out the window in a daze, Chen Xun called her many times and did not respond.

It wasn't until the hand on her lap was held that she suddenly came back to her senses: "What's wrong?" ”

"What are you thinking, absent-minded all night."

"No, I wasn't thinking about anything." Ning Chaoxi smiled easily.

"You don't eat much tonight, there is a noodle restaurant opposite the hotel, do you want to eat later?" Chen Xun said.

"No need, I've eaten a lot tonight, my stomach is very strong, and I don't want to eat anymore." Ning Chaoxi wrinkled his nose, "Also, our two clothes are expensive, what if they get the smell or get dirty." ”

Chen Xun's quiet and dark eyes looked at her quietly, as if she wanted to see her flaws through her disguise, Ning Chaoxi was heartbroken by his gaze, fortunately, the red light at the intersection in front of her turned green, she pointed to the green light and hurriedly said: "Chen Xun, the green light." ”

He retracted his gaze, released the brake and stepped on the accelerator, Chen Xun looked ahead, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Morning and evening, if something happens, you must tell me." ”
