Chapter 47—A Ballad in Praise of Hyacinths (3)
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Looking at Jia Xun's embarrassed face, Louisa also noticed her gaffe, although she apologized, but still had a puzzled expression on her face, as if if the story of these two people had no follow-up, it would be difficult for onlookers to accept it, even Louisa, who had always loved watching the story and was unwilling to interfere with the ending, could not continue to remain silent.
"It's okay, a lot of people over the years...!!"
Jia Xun's eyes wandered around the exhibition hall, as if looking for something to divert the topic, but in the middle of the sentence, she suddenly froze, and the words that could not be said were swallowed hard, and after a short period of surprise, she immediately reacted, and said in a relaxed tone:
"I've got you a sketch with a gold setting and a diamond and morganite ring on the outside to complement your pink sapphires, which not only won't look tacky, but it's not very common on the market these days."
As she spoke, she unfolded the design drawings placed on the display case, and Louisa was also very cooperative, looking at the drawings into the play: "Well, I have always been very satisfied with your design, you are very careful and thoughtful, I really didn't expect that you would actually simulate the light that may be on every occasion..."
Louisa has no business dealings with Jiaxun, and now it is the first time to see her design drawings, if the front is still casually echoed, then the next few words are sincere.
"You're overrated."
After a few words, Louisa stretched, pretending to be a little tired, and she turned to see a man and a woman standing not far away.
Coincidentally, she recognized this man.
He is a poor painter who is not well-known, but this does not mean that he is not weak, on the contrary, his works have his own unique style, and he is good at imagining landscapes, he has depicted wisteria trees lit by fireflies, butterflies dancing under the trees, and ladybugs in the accompaniment group are working, lazily perched on the strings.
He could have made his mark in the painting world on his own, but he never sold any of his paintings.
Because his pen will only move for Jia Xun, Jia Xun's figure will inevitably appear on each of his paintings.
He once said that he didn't have too many associations when painting, but it was only her presence that made his eyes and brushes bloom so gorgeously.
Louisa looked at Vic, who was standing there, but outsiders could tell at a glance that he was unhappy.
In the past, when he stood with the simple Jiaxun, the young man's eyes were as bright as a galaxy, but now there was a luxurious woman standing beside him, but his eyes were empty and gloomy.
Of course, this is not the only place where the discord is violated.
Vic could have attended such an occasion, but his clothes were not so exquisite, except for the fabric, which had been soaked in cold water countless times and had faded a little, and what was even more outrageous was that if one looked closely, one could see the traces of sewing on it, which were the traces of being rudely destroyed by scissors and then restored by stitches and threads.
If it weren't for the fact that the woman next to Vic was holding his arm affectionately, perhaps Louisa thought he was looking for Gay, and she looked up at Vic's female companion.
This woman...
Coincidentally, Louisa recognized it.
She was born in a wealthy family with a small reputation in Spartaries, and she was also there to cheer for her when she participated in the competition before, so it should be regarded as a friend.
“…”
The woman tugged Vic a few times, hoping to leave quickly, but Vic stood there for a long time as if he had been immobilized by a witch's spell.
At last, the woman stood on tiptoe and whispered something in his ear, and he frowned and looked at her in disgust, before he strode away, and the woman had to lift the hem of her dress and chase after his back.
After they left, Jia Xun put down the shelf that she had just worked hard to support, and it was clear that tears were about to burst out of her eyes, but she still restrained herself, until Vic's figure disappeared into the crowd, she said in a trembling voice and ran to the lounge.
"Shall we catch up? …”
Beatis, who didn't know the truth, asked.
Louisa didn't reply to her, but looked at the display case and asked, "Xiaobai, do you know the flower language of purple hyacinths?" ”
"Purple hyacinth..."
Xiaobai shook his head, and also looked at the display case, the purple hyacinth brought by Louisa was lying next to the design that was spread out at the moment.
"It's jealousy, apologies, regrets. It is sad and melancholy love, and it is also eternal remembrance. ”
…
When Kaxun appeared in front of the two of them again, she had already collected her mood, and she still had a shallow sweet smile on her face, as if nothing had happened just now.
After a few casual conversations, it was time for the lunch break of the exhibition hall, which will be temporarily closed during this time.
I wanted to make an appointment with Jiaxun for lunch, but was politely refused, saying that there was still something going on with the organizer, so Louisa and Xiaobai found a restaurant to eat together.
Xiaobai said while picking the cherry chestnut cream noodles on the plate with a fork: "Actually, I envy Jiaxun's life. ”
"Why?"
Louisa was a little surprised.
"She has her own dreams and dares to take that step, unlike me, I have been running away from my future, I applied for the academy because of impulse, and I didn't think about the possibility of the future."
She rubbed her fork against the plate.
"I want to... If I hadn't passed the exam that day, I might have hid at home and refused to do anything, and continued to be afraid to walk in the sun and in the eyes of others. When I knew that I was going to be admitted, I thought that my life would change dramatically, but I overestimated myself again, and I couldn't find my future direction until now, and I often think... What can I do in the future? ”
Hearing Xiaobai's confusion, Louisa didn't know what kind of mood she was in.
"In fact, many people live with the crowd."
"But you must be different, right? I often envy you, you can always move forward steadfastly. ”
"That's not the case, Xiaobai, I don't like my own future that seems to be predestined on the road now."
She didn't say any more, as a guest came next to her and interrupted their conversation: "Hello, please forgive my presumptuousness, I'm Vic Jane. There's one thing I want to... I'd like to ask you about it. ”
