"Where's that exhibition?" Su Tao asked curiously as she walked.

"It's a bit far, in the pine forest area." He Yang said succinctly.

"Pine Forest?" Su Tao was stunned for a moment.

He Yang smiled, "For a girl like you who doesn't usually go out of the city center, I guess I haven't heard of this district." ”

Although she was not familiar with this area, Su Tao was not ignorant of this pine forest area. Far from the city center, close to the rather chaotic slums on the outskirts of the city. However, due to the location of the pine forest area, the land price is quite cheap, and due to the new subway built in recent years, the transportation is quite convenient, and there are many young students and young artists with no savings who have little money in this area. Over time, the Pine Forest area has also become a gathering place for wild artists, so sometimes there are some headhunters who will find talented artists here. Many designers, musicians, painters, and writers who are not aspiring or have not yet become famous are trying to find opportunities and ways out here. Therefore, what came into being is an art industry chain that is now becoming more and more perfect. There are large and small art galleries and cultural companies in the Songlin District, providing opportunities for young artists to showcase themselves to the public, and these art exhibitions are also an opportunity for many literary and artistic workers who do not have financial support to seek Bole.

"No, I did. But the pine forest area is so big. Where is your exhibition? Su Tao continued to ask.

"Huaihai Art Museum. Do you know? It's still a pretty big private art gallery in the Pine Forest area. He Yang explained to Su Tao.

"Huaihai Art Museum? Why is it called Huaihai Art Museum? When the sensitive Su Tao heard these words, she always felt very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and hurriedly asked.

He Yang thought for a moment and said, "Oh, that's right. The gallery is named after its patron, and there are many private art galleries in the Pinewoods. Larger ones are like the Xuchun Art Museum, the Yalin Art Museum, and the Huaihai Art Museum. It is said that the patron of this art museum, what his surname is, I can't remember clearly, it turns out that he has a government background, and he also dotes on his daughter. Just because his daughter likes to paint, he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build this art museum just to make her daughter happy. As a result, before the art gallery was completed, my daughter was gone......"

Su Tao's premonition in her heart that made her uneasy became deeper and deeper, Huaihai, Huaihai, and her deceased daughter......

"Ah, I remember!" He Yang suddenly said loudly, "Zheng Huaihai! It's Zheng Huaihai! The patron of that art museum is called Zheng Huaihai. ”

Su Tao thundered in his head - Zheng Huaihai! She remembered that this was Zhou Xiaobei's grandfather and Zhou Xiaonan's father's ex-father-in-law. Therefore, this Huaihai Art Museum was actually built for Zhou Xiaobei's mother Zheng Yuan. Su Tao didn't expect this kind of coincidence to happen, and she felt a little emotional, feeling that she was destined to have her own destiny in the dark. She has always had a lot of sympathy for this father who lost his beloved daughter. In fact, Su Tao felt that there was nothing wrong with Zheng Huaihai's approach, and it could even be said that he had been quite patient with the Zhou family for the sake of Zhou Xiaobei, after all, it was his only daughter who died. is a daughter he is willing to spend hundreds of millions to build an art gallery, just to make her happy. If his relatives were treated like this, Su Tao would never be able to tolerate it - just like Su Ying. Thinking of her sister, Su Tao's heart trembled with pain, what should I do? Do you want to tell He Yang her plan now, she looked up at He Yang's face full of happiness, and couldn't bear to say it. Forget it, Su Tao sighed, He Yang is rarely so happy, why bother to spoil his interest at this time, let's wait until I come back and discuss with him.

Su Tao and He Yang got on the subway together, Su Tao almost never took the subway, and almost all of her trips were picked up by car in the past, even if she was alone here, she would take a taxi to a slightly farther place. But this time she didn't put forward the idea of taking a taxi, because she had just checked it roughly, and the price of taking a taxi in Songlin District was about two hundred, she knew that He Yang's family conditions were not good, and she didn't want to add to his burden, nor did she want to pay for it to hurt his self-esteem, so she didn't mention taking a taxi at all. Although it is not the rush hour, there are still a lot of people on the subway from the city center to the pine forest area, Su Tao is very uncomfortable being squeezed around, she has a slight cleanliness habit, and she feels quite uncomfortable when she comes into contact with strangers. He Yang keenly sensed her unhappiness, so he reached out to protect her, led her to the corner of the carriage, and used his arms to encircle her, making a small space for her to isolate the surrounding crowd. In this small world, all the crowded noise in the carriage became blurred, and she could clearly feel He Yang's steady breathing and powerful heartbeat, He Yang seemed to block the whole world for her with his body...... She suddenly felt that the noisy subway was not so unbearable. He Yang looked at her with apologetic eyes, "I'm really sorry, it's my inconsiderate thought that caused you to suffer so much." I should have thought you weren't used to the subway. ”

Su Tao hurriedly comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's just that I have taken the subway less often, and I have no experience, so I'm a little panicked." "Anyway, with you, I'm not afraid of anything. Su Tao silently added in her heart. After He Yang heard this, he smiled slightly and kissed her deeply on the forehead.

His lips were so cold, this was Su Tao's last thought before he was intoxicated.

It is not nonsense to say that the transportation in Songlin District is convenient, at least in Su Tao's opinion, it is worthy of the name. Out of the subway left turn less than 500 meters is the Huaihai Art Museum, Su Tao finally witnessed its full appearance for the first time, this art museum is not small, there are five or six floors, it looks like the construction is also decent, but as an art museum, it seems too regular, it always seems to make people feel a little inexplicable old cadre style, but when I think that this is built by Zheng Huaihai, it seems that there is nothing strange about it.

Su Tao followed He Yang in, although there is an exhibition here today, but after all, it is not a famous artist's handiwork, so it is not surprising that there is no overcrowding. Walking into the hall on the first floor, there were only a few people, He Yang explained, "This is a youth art exhibition, everyone is not famous, and there is not much publicity in advance, and not many people know about it." ”

"It's okay, I think it's very good," Su Tao smiled, "I like places with few people, so I can take a good look at the paintings." There are so many people, who cares about looking at people, who still has the heart to look at paintings. ”

"Haha, you're scared of being squeezed on the subway." He Yang smiled, "Let's take a taxi when we go back." ”

"Maybe." Su Tao smiled and diverted the topic, "Huh? What's your work? Where? ”

"I heard from the organizer that it was on the second floor, but I don't know where it is. Let's look at it layer by layer in order. When you get to the second floor, I'll show you, you can guess, and see if you can guess which works I painted! He Yang had a mischievous expression on his face.

"What if I guess them all? Are there any rewards? Su Tao also decided to peel it.

"Haha, don't say you guessed it all. If you can guess one, I'll count you as good. He Yang said with a smile.

"Then if I guess one, what will you reward?" Su Tao raised her eyebrows and said.

"What do you want?" He Yang's eyes were as gentle as water, making people want to die in his gaze.

"If I guess one, send me an ice cream!" Su Tao grinned.

"Good!" He Yang readily agreed, "Your original requirements are so low, snack goods." ”

"Hmph, I'm not done yet." Su Tao said a little coquettishly, "If you guess it, you can only get one ice cream, two will be two, and three will be three...... You'll have to give me as many ice creams as you guess! ”

"Okay, good," He Yang responded dotingly, and walked towards the exhibition hall with Su Tao in his arms.

After visiting the exhibition hall on the first floor, Su Tao found that the paintings here have different styles, and there is no unified theme, there is no order in the exhibition, and the works of the same painter will not be put together, and the rules of display can really be said to be quite arbitrary. It seems that it is really just a platform for young painters to show their personality, but it will be more difficult to guess He Yang's paintings later. Thinking like this, they slowly went up the escalator to the second floor, while they watched from a distance, He Yang explained to Su Tao, Su Tao looked at the rows of works on the second floor, and suddenly felt like looking for a needle in a haystack. So he hugged He Yang's arm and said, "Hey, it's too difficult to guess like this." You give me a hint! ”

He Yang scratched her nose dotingly and said, "Little Laipigue, I was still talking big just now, and now I'm starting to play tricks again." Then he looked up and said helplessly, "Okay." ”

Su Tao immediately jumped up happily. He Yang pulled her over, pointed to the two paintings on the west corridor and said, "Come, Xiao Tao, look at these two oil paintings, guess which one I painted." ”

Su Tao took a closer look, the one on the left was a dark night scene dominated by cold colors, and the one on the right was an early morning field dominated by warm colors. Judging from He Yang's character, such a warm person as him should like warm colors, but it will definitely not be so simple! The dark night seems cold and lonely, but in fact, there are a little starlight in the dark night sky, and there are dark shadows in the early morning fields where the morning sun does not shine. So the first one seems to be negative, but in fact it is looking for light in the darkness; And the second one seems bright, but in fact there is an undercurrent...... It's dangerous. Su Tao secretly rejoiced, and said to He Yang, "I know which one it is!" ”

He Yang smiled, "Which one?" ”

"It's just ......" No, seeing He Yang's smile, between the lightning and flint, Su Tao suddenly felt that something was wrong, these two paintings actually depicted the same field, but one was the field at night and the other was the field in the early morning. So, they are actually two sides of the same coin, there is a glimmer of light in the darkness, and there is a shadow in the light, whether it is light or darkness, they are actually that field......

"You painted both of them, didn't you?" Su Tao looked at He Yang's eyes firmly, "These two paintings themselves are one, the day and night of the same field, just like the light and dark sides of a person. He Yang, am I right? ”
