When Zhao Bai'an woke up, it was already noon when the sun was shining.

Just like the duration of sleep, Zhao Bai'an had a long three-stage dream this time, and he felt extremely tired.

She sat up from the bed and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that in the middle of the night, she had not had time to get out of bed before she fell into a dream again. Everything after that, whether it's going to the activity room or making chocolate, is a seamless connection to dreams.

It's no wonder that they will open the door and go directly to the subconscious temple.

Zhao Bai'an patted his cheeks and carefully recalled the heart-to-heart conversation between Miki and her...... Maybe she admires some of Chen Yudi's analysis of problems, so this time Huo Miki's image will move closer to him.

"Zizi-zizi-zizi-" The mobile phone vibrated wildly on the desktop under the bed, and Zhao Bai'an usually didn't bring the mobile phone to bed for a good night's sleep.

Climbed out of bed and looked, ah, it was Zichen calling.

"Hey, hey! Get through! Yang Zichen shouted happily on the other end of the phone, his voice rushing straight to the periosteum, "What are you doing, Xiao An!" I've sent you a lot of messages on the chat app and I haven't responded! ”

"Ahaha, I'm sleeping."

"Sleep? Sleeping so late?! You're not a big pig! ”

Hey, you still say that I, and I don't look at myself when I'm asleep, even if it's on fire, I can't wake up. Zhao Bai'an couldn't help complaining.

"But it's Saturday......"

"Oh yes! So seeing that you slept so late, there should be no arrangements for today, right? ”

"Enmu......" Zhao Bai'an yawned and thought about it for a while, "It seems that there is nothing to ......"

"That's great!"

"How?"

"Urgent! Urgent! I have something very urgent in the afternoon that I want you to do with me! ”

"What's the matter? Talk about the point. ”

"I just thought if you could accompany me to Hangzhou this afternoon?"

"Hangzhou? So suddenly? ”

"Ah, it's a bit urgent......

"It's not going to work, it's going to be pretty fast anyway. Is there something you suddenly have to go to Hangzhou? ”

"Well...... I suddenly saw it this morning when I was playing on my phone, and today there is an exhibition in Hangzhou that won this year's award, and the painters will also be there, so only today......"

Zhao Bai'an chuckled in his heart, and various appearances of Siqing who were sometimes calm and sometimes crazy appeared in front of him.

She rubbed her temples and responded, "I know, it's total." If I have this opportunity, I also kind of want to meet Siqing. You tell me to sort it out, and we'll go later. ”

"Yes! Good! ”

*******

When Zhao Bai'an and Yang Zichen arrived at the exhibition center, they were an hour earlier than expected, but there was already a long queue at the ticket office and the entrance.

"Zi Chen, you said that if Siqing is too hot for us to reach at all, or we won't be able to see her at all, what should we do?"

"Eh~ It's okay Xiao An, don't worry. If you don't meet her, it's good to look at her award-winning paintings. Or I'll see how she's doing from afar. ”

"Then why don't you just take a look at it on your phone? As a genius painter, there are a lot of reports about her. "Yes, that's right, this Zhao Bai'an has searched for it himself before.

"Of course not! The photographs are too flat, and there are a lot of things that can be conveyed by what you see with your own eyes. ”

"Em, you have a point. So you're super eager to see her, right? Zhao Baian poked Yang Zichen with his elbow.

"Alas~ It's okay, follow fate, everything depends on fate."

So you're still in the queue for a few seconds and you craned your neck to look inside? Tough mouth!

It's just that after seeing so many people, I understood how slim the chances of success are, so I started to build myself psychologically, right?

Zhao Bai'an complained in her heart, she looked at Yang Zichen's appearance on tiptoe, and shook her head with a smile.

It took more than an hour just to queue up to enter the venue, which means that I didn't come early. Although there were a lot of people in the venue, it was not noisy, and everyone was quietly and orderly admiring the various paintings on the wall.

In the middle of the entrance is the work of the winner of this year's Ezonli Prize.

This is not a large painting. In the center of the 60cm-60cm-square, canvas curls up as an embryo and lies on the grass. The thick darkness of the night enveloped her like a comfortable environment in the womb. The faint glow of the sporadic fireflies gives the viewer a glimpse into the secrets hidden in the darkness. Sleeping flowers, owls in the treetops, and only a small part of the old trees can be seen no matter how bright the light is...... All are the guardians of the little girl.

The title of the painting: "Hope".

There are many other works that are as good as this painting, but with such a title, it subtly gives it more meaning.

"Zi Chen......" Zhao Bai'an looked regretful, "Look at this, this is the real firefly!" ”

"Humph! You're still making fun of me! ”

Illustrated by: Si Li.

Such an infectious painting is, of course, the work of one of their sisters.

"Ahhh Xiao An! Before Zhao Bai'an had time to take a closer look, Yang Zichen tugged at her arm in a dumb voice.

"Huh?"

Yang Zichen said excitedly: "It's Siqing!! ”

Following the direction of Yang Zichen's finger, the back of a long-haired girl disappeared behind a certain door of the exhibition hall.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Baian only saw one back, and there were always too many similar backs.

"Hey! I see the face! It's Siqing! ”

Yang Zichen pulled Zhao Bai'an to trot all the way, intending to follow Siqing into the door.

"Hey, wait! Visitors are not allowed. ”

Miraculous, just now it was clear that there was no one around, and suddenly a security guard appeared and stopped the two of them.

"Ahh Uncle~" Yang Zichen's sudden cuteness startled Zhao Bai'an.

"We think about the painter who won the award this year...... Si Li is a very good friend! We came to see her this time, and I just saw her enter the door, and we wanted to catch up with her. ”

"Visitors are not allowed to enter." The security guard repeated what he had just said.

"Uncle~" Yang Zichen sold cuteness again.

"Hmm." The security guard obviously couldn't stand this uncle, "Ahem, then I'll help you ask, she agrees with you to let you in." ”

"Okay~ Thank you, uncle!" Yang Zichen nodded happily.

The security guard went in for a while and came out, and it seemed that there was not much space inside.

"No, she doesn't want to see you." The security guard waved his hand.

"Ahh How come, uncle, you can be accommodating~" Yang Zichen folded his hands and put them sideways beside his face.

"Eh~this ......"

"Can you go talk to her again?" Zhao Baian said to the security guard.

"You just tell her that Zichen wants to see Siqing. It's Zichen who wants to see Siqing, it's Siqing. "If she doesn't agree, then we won't bother." ”

Yang Zichen also agreed: "En! Uncle~Thank you for your hard work~"

"Hey, okay, okay, if you don't agree, you can't go in." Looking at Yang Zichen's expectant eyes, although the security guard felt that Zhao Bai'an's emphasis was a little inexplicable, he had to help them try again.

"Alright, you can go inside." The security guard was visibly relieved when he came out again, "But you can only go in." ”

The security guard pointed at Yang Zichen and then at Zhao Bai'an, "She can't do it." ”

"Huh! Uncle~" Yang Zichen also wanted to continue to plead with the security guards.

"It's okay, Zichen, you can go. Think...... Si Li doesn't know me either, you say yes, I don't have anything to say when I go. ”

"Huh? Is it really okay? ”

"It's really okay, you go, I'll wait for you outside to see the exhibition."

"Alright then, thank you uncle too!" Yang Zichen's figure disappeared into the door.
