canary her crush come true

"Secret screening?" Yi Xiaoan frowned.

Grace handed over the laptop, and there was a line of small red English characters like a pornographic advertisement in the lower right corner: business cooperation mailbox.

So the sudden screening of the niche French literary film just now was not because she just happened to be lucky enough to catch up with it, but because someone specifically ordered this movie, and even the couple's hall wasn't a coincidence?

And that person is 99% likely to be Shu Yan...

Grace was not idle either. She used her mobile phone to check the price of private screenings in the Art Museum theater, and once again exclaimed "Ohmygod" when she saw the five 1s followed by the 0.

She looked at Yi Xiao'an, and Yi Xiao'an also looked at her. After the two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, their eyes moved down, and finally stopped at the noble and proud purple rose brooch on her chest.

Movies are all privately screened, so how can it cost investment and manpower to customize the same peripherals.

Yi Xiaoan stretched out her hand lightly, and her white fingers touched the thin petals of the rose, so she had ordered this in advance and kept it on her body until she had the opportunity to watch a movie together, and put it on for her herself ?

Yi Xiao'an recalled for a moment when the woman knocked on the car window and asked them if they wanted to watch a movie, Shuyan's expression seemed to agree as if she didn't want to travel around until she said she wanted to watch it, and then reluctantly passed the time. ...

Yi Xiaoan opened her mouth to meet Grace's gaze, and before she could say anything, Grace asked directly in Chinese: "So, she is the woman you once liked in China?"

"...Mmm." Yi Xiaoan didn't want to hide anything.

Grace seemed to have a lot to say. After all, she just found out that her roommate was the woman who was invited to watch a movie as a surprise. After a long delay, she finally said, "Now, I know why you like her."

"Because she is generous?" Yi Xiaoan frowned.

Grace shook her head slowly: "NoNoNo"

"Not only is she rich, but she is also beautiful, with a hot body."

"..."

"A woman who is rich, beautiful, and hot is willing to cross the Pacific Ocean to surprise you, Ann, no matter which country you are in, who and which woman can resist such a woman?"

Seeing the little excited expression on Grace's dark face, Yi Xiao'an felt a little funny for a moment: "But when she first came last night, you were still very vigilant, let me protect myself."

"Oh? Really?" Grace seemed very dizzy and went to the Skull Institute to look for Wu Paiyuan.

"?"

Grace happened to be holding a glass of water in her hand. She raised the glass and said in Chinese: "If there is, then I am willing to punish myself for my recklessness."

After speaking, he shook his head and walked back to the room with his laptop in his arms.

Yi Xiaoan sat on a stool next to the dining room, still not taking off his white coat.

"I love purple roses, and I will take the trouble to pick them for you myself."

"Then why?" You must be asking me that.

"I love you only in this life, but you will never know."

Yi Xiao'an suddenly recalled a line between the gay couple in the movie just now.

"Can I put it on for you myself?"

"Even if you take it off after you go back."

This is what Shu Yan said to her when she was holding the purple rose brooch with her fingertips, her eyes were softly shining and hidden in the shadows.

And her sudden appearance these two days.

Yi Xiaoan sat on the sofa for a long time. After a while, she felt her phone vibrate and took it out of her pocket. It was a text message from Shu Yan:

[Arrive at the hotel safely, rest early, good night. 】

Yi Xiaoan put her finger on the screen, and she wanted to type to ask her if everything today was arranged on purpose by her.But when he just typed three words, Yi Xiaoan already had the answer in his heart.

She felt that the phone screen became a little hot, and she probably guessed what Shu Yan meant.

In the past, when she let her dove her away, or when she knew she was unhappy, Shu Yan would always give her gifts in different ways to make her happy.It was a social paradigm she was familiar with and comfortable with: wrong—apologize—make up.

She knew how much that mistake she made at night hurt her, so she chose a gift that even after so long, she must cherish it so carefully.

Indeed, Shu Yan can do a lot of things well.

But how should I tell her? If it is true that in the past, I was still angry because of her, avoiding, and even when I saw her just last night, the momentary vigilance and stress reaction made her almost unconsciously sting, then Today's "date", this "purple rose", is enough to count as a qualified "compensation".

Shu Yan treats her very well, she really does not need to feel any guilt anymore.

Yi Xiao'an stared at the screen for a while, then silently looked for Huan Yan, searched for Yi, and finally sighed softly, and typed [Thank you, good night. ] After a few words, he pressed the phone to turn off the phone.

If there is a next meeting as she said, she will find a chance to tell her personally.

The days go by day by day, just like in China, the closer the important days are, the fewer people there are on the street, and the weather gets colder day by day. Yi Xiaoan didn't notice that snow falls so easily in Chicago in winter, until a week later, he was completely surprised No wonder.

The snow on the street seems to never be swept away, but the shops with various Christmas decorations on the street are warm.The white snow on the eaves contrasts with the yellow lights in the store, as if a magic ball is hidden, making people just want to push open the door with Christmas wreaths and go in.

Yi Xiaoan's apartment is not far from the school, and they all basically live in apartments in the nearby neighborhood.

Snow and holidays tend to make people lazy, and Yi Xiaoan is no exception.There will be an international competition in the next semester, which will be in the form of works selected by authors, not limited to current students, and many well-known artists will favor them.

The professor seemed to have tacitly agreed that Yi Xiaoan would want to participate. He had already talked to her about the idea of ​​the work before, and asked her to hurry up and start creating, and said that he was very optimistic about her potential.

Yi Xiaoan expressed modesty according to the customary etiquette thinking, but the professor said that artistic talent should never be measured by age, and the young students who have won awards in this competition are not innocent.

In the galleries of those famous pavilions, the works of a genius are never rejected.

Yi Xiaoan and Grace stayed at home for almost two weeks, until they woke up on Friday and received a call from Iris.She had just returned from skiing in Japan with that little Japanese girl, and Yi Xiaoan was a little surprised when she received the call and asked her why she didn't go home directly.

Iris said that her family has a special job and may not be able to reunite this year. She just stayed in the United States to prepare paintings.The little Japanese girl was afraid that she would be alone, so she stayed here with her.

Yi Xiaoan sensed a hint of subtlety from her tone, just now when she asked something about the little Japanese girl, Iris said generously:

"Ann, the girl you rejected shouldn't mind if I pursue her again?"

It turned out to be true.

Yi Xiaoan raised the corners of his mouth on the phone: "Of course not, I wish you success in advance."

Iris has changed countless boyfriends and girlfriends since she was a child, knowing that Yi Xiaoan doesn't care, she also generously recruits

"By the way, I just contacted Hui and Jack. A coffee shop just opened on the corner of the street. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's go together in the afternoon."

"Meet at a coffee shop?" Yi Xiaoan seemed to pass by that coffee shop when he went to a convenience store once. It was still being renovated at the time, and the store seemed to be very large, but there was no difference other than that.

Yi Xiaoan remembered that he was still muttering in his heart at that time. There are more than a dozen coffee shops, large and small, on and off the university campus, basically all of which have their own characteristics and have their own repeat customers. The most frequented by Yi Xiaoan is books. The one below the hall is for convenience.

In this kind of coffee shop with such a large scale, it is inevitable to lose money in the early stage.If it is not the unspeakable motivation of the investor, it may be the love of the atmosphere of the art campus, or some personal feelings.

"Hmm," Iris replied, "Ann, don't you guys still know about this oil painting-themed coffee shop?"

"Oil painting theme?"

"Yes, the theme of oil painting. The coffee shop has three floors. I heard that in addition to the specialty coffee, there are two galleries. Many excellent oil paintings from all over the world will be exhibited. I heard that there are several paintings on the third floor that are not in the museum. They belong to the owner. Hidden."

"So, maybe the owner is also a painter, or maybe a collector?"

"Never mind her, we're curious anyway. That's it, see you at four o'clock in the afternoon."

Yi Xiaoan hung up the phone and told Grace about it, because this coffee shop is very close, there is no need to drive at all, and it can be reached in 15 minutes on foot. Grace said that she just happened to stop by the convenience store, so she agreed to go with her.

Yi Xiaoan originally wanted to dress more formally, but then he thought they were classmates he knew, so he just wore a dress and a white down jacket and went out with Grace.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Iris and the little Japanese girl were already waiting at the door, and another 5 minutes later Liu Hui and another American boy arrived. Iris saw that they were late, and the two joked and argued again.

This store does not have Christmas-style decorations, but follows the retro European-style decoration. When you open the door, you will be greeted by the refreshing aroma of coffee, as well as sofas and spiral staircases that look expensive.

Jack and Iris chatted with the housekeeper, and after asking a few words, they realized that the reason why there were no Christmas-style decorations was because the boss was not from here.

"Asia, China?" Iris guessed.

The waiter was a little surprised by her accuracy, and Iris was proud of Kasifu∑Ji Zheng's layout, which in her opinion was very oriental.

Upon hearing that the boss is Chinese, Grace subconsciously looked at Yi Xiaoan, and Yi Xiaoan nodded: "If I am lucky enough to meet you later, I can try to communicate with him/her."

It's a holiday now, and the store has just opened. There are not many customers, only three tables on the first floor.After each of them ordered a cup of coffee, they walked to the second floor. As soon as they went upstairs, they were all surprised.

The decoration space on the upper floor is larger, and there are many oil paintings hung high and low on the wall of the corridor, each of which is carefully illuminated by the lights, and a few students who came early are also visiting. The illusion of a painting exhibition or a museum.

With sharp eyes, Iris immediately saw an oil painting of a girl holding a cat in a straw hat, and she ran forward almost bald: "This painting is here?"

This is a classic auction painting by a French academic painter a few years ago. How could it appear here?

"Could this be real?" Iris was extremely clear-headed, and immediately began to question the authenticity of the paintings here.In addition to this one, there are works from other countries around the world. Although some are not well-known, their brushwork skills are enough to make people admire.

The paintings exhibited in a small coffee shop can almost reach the level of a professional art exhibition?

The other students gathered around when they heard her cry, and they discussed in a low voice for a while. Judging from their current level, these paintings should not be fakes.

And opposite is one of the top art schools in the United States, who would spend so much money to come here to exhibit fake paintings.

Conditions or just order a cup of coffee as low as 25$?

The waiter brought their coffee, and Iris was so excited that she immediately walked over and asked if she heard that there were paintings on the third floor, so she could go up and visit.

The blond-haired and blue-eyed waiter was a little bit sorry to find ×船⊥报骨, and I apologize, Ms., the gallery on the third floor is only open on special days or events. "

"Special day? Christmas? New Year's Day?"

"NO" the waiter replied.

Iris frowned, and Grace thought for a while before answering: "Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year?"

"NO." The waiter continued to shake his head.

"What day is that?"

"I'm still waiting for the owner's notice. Unfortunately, I can't answer you now."

"Could it be that we have to come here to guard every day, don't your shopkeepers think this is a very wise way to make money?"

The waiter ignored everyone's tone, put six cups of coffee on a long table and shrugged: "NO"

"..."

If they hadn't seen the paintings on the second floor, they might still think that the store deliberately whetted their appetites, but now that they have seen them, they will inevitably be curious about what kind of paintings are on the third floor.

Six people sat at the table, and all the topics were focused on convenience related to oil paintings.

The five of them chatted back and forth, but Yi Xiao'an hardly participated in the chat.

She leaned her back on the brown leather sofa, staring at a painting on the opposite side in a silent trance.

She had seen this painting.

Not only did I see it, but I also saw it in Linhu Bieyuan in City A before.It was the private art gallery in the villa area that Yu Yan, the class teacher in the third year of high school, took them to.

It's just that it was Shu Yan who made them not make the trip in vain and get in smoothly.

Why does it happen to appear here now?

The owner is from City A?Or in other words, the people from Linhu Bieyuan?

Yi Xiao'an felt for a moment that the longer some people linger on oxime, the more coincidences will appear.

Everyone chatted for more than an hour. Seeing that a cup of coffee was about to be finished and the sky was about to get dark, when they were about to leave with regret, the waiter from before suddenly came over again: "Several ㄉgirls, may I ask your art college students?" student?"

"Of course." Liu Hui replied.

The waiter smiled: "Do you really want to visit the private collection of paintings on the third floor?"

Iris looked at his insincere smile and raised her eyebrows: "If you have any tricks, you might as well say it while we are still patient."

The waiter nodded slightly: "No. However, our shop owner just happened to come to the shop. If some of you are willing to talk to her about membership cards and other business, maybe there will be a different opportunity."

The waiter talked and introduced the membership card system, and it really was a one-time recharge that cost a lot of money.No wonder so many tempting conditions were released just now.

Jack snorted, looked at Yi Xiaoan and said in English: "The Chinese are really good at doing business."

Yi Xiao'an glanced at him, and replied indifferently: "Chinese people also have extraordinary sincerity when doing business."

After Yi Xiaoan finished speaking, he asked the waiter again: "Will your membership system not be revised again? I don't think this is a wise price for the students here."

The waiter shrugged and said the owner had complete discretion.

Yi Xiaoan leaned on the sofa and thought for a while, seeing that Iris and the others really wanted to visit the third floor, she put down her raised leg and said to the waiter: "Whether I have a chance to meet your shopkeeper, you can Tell her that I am also from City A, and I have been to the private art gallery in Linhu Bieyuan."

"I think she should be willing to see me."

The waiter looked her over, silently memorized what she had said a few times, and then went downstairs. After a while, he came up again, and waved to Yi Xiaoan at the stairs, expressing that the shop owner was willing to meet her for a chat.

"So, is she also from City A?" Yi Xiaoan asked while following the waiter downstairs.

"That's right." The waiter smiled.

When I came to the door of a private room on the first floor, the waiter knocked on the door, and just after knocking, there was a Chinese "Please come in."

As soon as the sound came out, Yi Xiaoan's body paused, and the next moment the waiter helped to open the door, and a person wearing a gray shirt and trousers suddenly appeared in the retro room.Woman grinding coffee.

A strand of curly hair was scattered around her ears, Shu Yan casually pinned her hair back when she raised her head, her red lips were extra sexy under the light.

He seemed to have expected that the person who came in would be Yi Xiao'an, but he still followed the formality and started to show his face quietly. "

"Your shop?" Yi Xiao'an stood by Yuan Zhanghuan.

Shu Yan took it easy and walked over: "It was sold a long time ago, and the decoration was completed recently."

"By the way, I heard from Keenen that you want to talk to me about the membership card?"

As Shu Yan said, she took out her mobile phone with the other hand. She was proficient at the paper, opened WeChat, brought up the QR code interface, raised her head, and blinked at Yi Xiaoan:

"I think we should add a WeChat chat?"

The author has something to say:
