Dangerous Aesthetics

"Where's Olivan? Isn't he still sitting in the studio?"

"I don't know, how about you go up and have a look?"

"Forget it, in case he is painting or sleeping..." Neo quickly moved over, "Well, look, I just came back from the plane, today's lunch, can you make it?"

"Okay." David walked to the kitchen, looking at his wrist all the time, looking very happy.

"Wow, if I knew you would be so hardworking, I should have taken it off..."

One morning, I heard David busy in the kitchen humming a song.

The smell of food overflowed, and Neo, who was sitting in the living room playing games, was also hungry.

When lunch was served, Neo picked up the knife and fork, his eyes widened in surprise: "David, are you okay? How did you cook French food today? Don't you hate French food the most?"

"People, you have to try different options." David raised his eyebrows. At this time, Oliwen also came down from the stairs.

Neo waved his hand, "Olivan, come and see, David actually cooked French food!"

Olivan nodded slightly and sat down at the table.

Cut off the French red wine steak, put it in the mouth and taste it slowly, the whole table fell silent for a while, and both Neo and David looked at him.

"Hey... Is there any problem with the taste of this steak..." Neo poked his head and asked, because David's French food was always unpalatable.

"No problem." Olivan scooped up a little cream of mushroom soup with a spoon.

"Is the soup okay?" Neo asked.

David was angry, "What could be wrong with what I made?"

"No problem at all." Olivan added, it must taste good to let someone as picky as him say "no problem".

Neo excitedly picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup, "Wow, David, you're enlightened! French food is actually delicious?"

"Well, I forgot to tell you, Neo, I spit out about [-] milliliters of saliva in your bowl of soup."

Sure enough, Neo squirted it out, then coughed vigorously.

"David! I said, why did you agree to cook so readily!" Neo looked remorseful, while David smiled happily.

After lunch, Olivan seemed to be going back to his studio again, but David stopped him.

"Hey, if you don't have inspiration all the time, even if you sit in that room for the rest of your life, you won't be inspired!"

Oliwen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at David from a high place.

"Let's test drive together in the afternoon!" David asked.

Neo frowned and looked at David, looked at him carefully, and whispered, "What's wrong with you today, you rarely take the initiative to talk to Olivier."

"If he can't find inspiration, it's not us who are unlucky." David shrugged.

"But what he hates most is that people directly say that he has no inspiration!"

"Oh... that's right, I'm dead..." David turned his head and looked at Olivan again, "Well... if you don't want to go out..."

Unexpectedly, Oliwen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a test drive."

So the two went for a test drive.Because it is a luxury model, it is the first time that David has been treated like an emperor in a car dealership.

The car hadn't run two laps before Olivan signed the check and said "buy".

When they went back, David was still driving the car, and Olivan had been leaning against the car window as if thinking about something.When they passed the square again, David stopped the car.

"Hey, Olivan, do you still want to ride a bicycle?" David asked him. Today is not a weekend, so there are not many couples renting tandem bicycles, and the whole square looks unusually wide.

"Okay." Olivan replied lightly, and David suddenly felt that no matter what opinion he put forward, the other party would agree.

Pushing the bicycle over, David looked at Olivan and sighed, "I said... There are many things in this life that can inspire you. If you are always immersed in one emotion without changing, then you will never change anything. Can't get it."

Olivier looked at David.

"Look at the kid over there, he can smile so happily while holding an ugly balloon. Look at the girl student playing the cello, she's wonderful alone without anyone's attention. Olivier, everything about you is not in that room but In a studio of twenty or thirty square meters! Remember what you promised me? Leave all the sad things in that tent, and outside the tent, you will return to the proud and talented Olivier Kane!"

Olivan still looked at David, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light in those dead eyes.

"I won't step on the pedals. Don't feel hard when the time comes." Oliwen pushed the car door and walked out.

He straddled the seat on the back of the tandem, and David took one look at him before riding.

Bicycles circle the square.

Olivan looked sideways at the child holding the balloon, the female student playing the cello, and the windmill vendor that David had mentioned. On his shoulders were colorful paper pinwheels, rattling with the breeze. .

The fountain in the center of the square is scattered with sunlight, leaving arched iridescence.

Olivan stretched out his hand, and the wind passed through his fingers. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

There is the sound of pigeons flapping their wings and flying by.

"Olivan... travel occasionally, like the snowy mountains in Switzerland, the Rocky Mountains in Canada, Petra in Jordan... If the only image in your mind makes you sad, look elsewhere and let others If the scenery occupies your eyes, maybe you won't feel so much pain." David smiled.

The last time he carried Olivan, David only rode two laps. This time he rode four or five laps. It seems that the exercise in the gym is still effective.

"I'm tired, I won't ride anymore." David stopped, his back was already wet with sweat.

"Your physical strength is still so weak." Olivan's voice came from behind, but there was no irony.

"Yeah, I just don't have enough physical strength, I'm already old!" David said half-jokingly.

Because knowing you made me grow up too fast, the older I get, the closer I get to being old.

When we went back, the driver was Oliwen.

David kept his head up and looked out the window.

I can't make the scenery in your eyes, so I can only hope that you look at a better place.

The next morning, David took out his suit, made gestures in front of the mirror, and after matching, he came to Neo's room.

"Neo! Do you think I'm so handsome?"

Because he stayed up late last night playing games, Neo just fell asleep. After being woken up by David, he just glanced at him casually: "Ah! You are so handsome! No one is more handsome than you!"

He was about to retract under the covers when David grabbed him out again.

"Hey! I'm going to see a beautiful woman today! Can't you take a good look at me?"

"...A handsome guy like you can wear everything impeccably!" Neo curled his lips.

"Hmph, be careful, you will never see a handsome guy like me again!" David kicked him.

Neo's body trembled imperceptibly, then he got up, leaned against the pillow, and opened his eyes in a daze: "Hmm... really handsome."

"Thank you!" David put his arms around Neo.

The other party also hugged him tightly, and it took a long time before he said, "David...no matter what kind of beauty you are going to meet today, don't forget to come back."

"Got it!" David was about to leave when Neo grabbed him.

As if to say something, he let go of his hand.

David smiled, waved him, and said "goodbye."

As soon as he walked into the living room, Oliwen happened to be sitting there reading the morning newspaper, and there was still coffee on the coffee table.

"Olivan!" David ran in front of him, "The tie is a little longer, can you tie a double Windsor knot for me?"

After taking away the newspaper, the corners of the handsome man's mouth are slightly raised, which is the most memorable angle.

"How come you haven't learned the double Windsor knot yet?"

David grinned: "Just keep laughing at me! When I'm gone, see who else you can laugh at."

Olivan hooked his fingers at him, and David walked over obediently, leaning his upper body.Olivan put down the newspaper and reached out to straighten his tie.

Has anyone ever said that your fingers are beautiful, and you can easily touch other people's hearts?

Has anyone said that your browbones are beautiful, elegant and unassuming?

I will always remember the best part of you, if you can, please think of me like this once in a while.

"Okay." Olivan tapped his finger on David's tie knot, and immediately remembered something, "Where are you going?"

"To meet a beautiful woman." David smiled smugly.

Olivan lowered his head and picked up the newspaper: "Don't get carried away."

"Understood!" David walked towards the porch.

The sound of closing the door echoed softly.

A few minutes later, Neo leaned against the fence on the second floor and looked at Olivan who was sitting on the sofa.

"David is out?"

"Ah."

"Did he say anything to you?"

Olivan didn't look up, "Help him tie a double Windsor knot."

"Then... have you tied it for him?"

"Hmm." Olivan frowned, raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing...he seems to really like that woman." Neo smiled, went back to his room, leaned against the door, and closed his eyes.
