because i'm pretty

Yuan Zhiming's lungs were about to explode, not because of anger, but because he was tired from running over.

After Lucifer cursed, he hung up the video and ran towards the exhibition hall. On the way, he almost bumped into some big bosses who were surrounded by them. When he came in, he only saw the crowd of three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounding the corner. ice cubes.

Yuan Zhiming was pulled in by Lucifer, and he looked at the ice sculpture he carefully modeled—it was originally a smooth outline like a natural gemstone, but it seemed to have become a cut diamond—or a half-cut rough product.

He couldn't laugh or cry, and felt relieved for a while.

There were more and more people watching, Yuan Zhiming took a few breaths, pulled off the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, and walked in front of Li Yikai.

The man was still holding the ice shovel in his hand, his fingers were cold, Yuan Zhiming took the ice shovel from his hand, and even shivered the moment he touched it.

He temporarily ignored this crazy person, because the audience in the outer circle, the media, other artists... all looked at him with great interest, waiting for the creator's reaction.

Yuan Zhiming scratched his hair, he wanted to say a lot, but he couldn't organize it for a while, and felt that Li Yikai had already said it all.

In the end, he just slammed lightly on the ice, and a crack opened slightly.Yuan Zhiming put the shovel on the booth.

He said: "Embracing and destroying are both processes, and perhaps at this point, it is the real complete work."

"Sorry, flashing lights are not allowed in the venue."

"The interview session will be after the auction."

"Please follow the guide and continue to visit..."

Yuan Zhiming took Li Yikai's suit jacket from Master Song, turned around and was led out in a daze. He pressed his chest to calm down: "My God, why are there so many people?"

Li Yikai smiled: "Maybe you will be on the hot search tomorrow."

"Me?" Yuan Zhiming wrinkled his nose and looked at him: "Is it you? You seem a little crazy."

Li Yikai thought, he is indeed crazy.

Yuan Zhiming raised his head and saw his eyes slowly pouring on him like flowing water.

"Well, what do you think?" Yuan Zhiming asked.

Li Yikai blinked slowly: "I don't think much about it."

"You smashed all my ice sculptures, and you said you didn't think much about it," Yuan Zhiming muttered, "You still have obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism..."

"Really?" Li Yikai asked him instead: "I didn't even think about it. You have never been a person of refined style. Why didn't you think of this way? Why are you so obsessed with these line ratios?"

"Everyone is subject to change," Yuan Zhiming said.

"Then I am the same," Li Yikai said in a deep voice, "If you pursue perfection too much, you will not move forward. I plan to change it."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, Yuan Zhiming took another two steps, found a corner to hide in, leaned against the wind and sun to stand firm on the outer wall, so he didn't have the energy to care whether the wall was dirty or not.

"Then...do you have anything to ask me?" He asked Li Yikai.

Li Yikai still looked at him like that: "Can't you say it yourself?"

"Ah, good." Yuan Zhiming felt that Li Yikai's aura was overwhelming today, and he didn't dare to resist, so he could only tell the truth: "Ice sculpture, I went to the ice factory for the first time with you, and then I realized that I can make ice sculptures. I didn't tell you, so I placed an order with Master Song myself. Then, on the way back, I didn't make it clear on the phone, and the data was mixed up."

Unexpectedly, Li Yikai said: "I don't want to hear this."

"Hmm..." Yuan Zhiming changed his mind: "Xue Ming helped me apply for the exhibition. I don't know why he likes this work. I didn't expect that the application was successful. Then I thought, you will definitely come, you will I saw it, so I didn't say anything."

As Yuan Zhiming said, he looked up at Li Yikai's expression.Still not right.

He leaned against the wall and turned around, leaning his head against the wall dejectedly: "Oh, I messed it up, it shouldn't be like this, I didn't think so."

Li Yikai sighed, stretched out his hand to pinch his shoulder, and turned him to face him: "Yuan Zhiming, if you say you don't like me, tell me not to meddle in your affairs, I can go."

Yuan Zhiming was stunned, then quickly shook his head: "No, I'm not."

"I know", Li Yikai said, he stretched out his hand, from his shoulder up, and lightly touched Xia Yuanzhiming's neck, his hand was cold and stiff from just now until now, only this body temperature has warmed it back .

Li Yikai only dared to use his fingertips to lightly draw along his jawline, feeling helpless and annoyed: "But I'm always the last to know, it's you who have thought about everything and done everything. Say nothing, and let me find out for myself."

"Sometimes I wonder if I'm not good enough or direct enough." Li Yikai lowered his hand: "Sometimes I just want to forget it, and I don't want to guess anymore."

He bowed his head and smiled: "You know what? No one has ever treated me like this."

Yuan Zhiming stared at him blankly, searched, and only said "I'm sorry".

"I don't want to hear this." Li Yikai shook his head and looked up at him: "Is there anything else to say?"

Some things have been thought about for too long and considered for too long, and it is difficult to say them.Yuan Zhiming took a long breath.

"I just came back from Huaizhou because my cousin is critically ill," he said. "My grandfather, uncle, father, and cousin all have the same illness."

Yuan Zhiming thought that he would never take the initiative to talk about this with others.

There is no need to take a step further, and one step closer is because you don't want to expose your scars.Besides, when people come and go, how many people really care about it, and how much of the sympathy and comfort they get when they speak out is mixed with performances and hypocrisy.

But when he has desires and desires, he can no longer wander out of the world as before. He wants to have a closer relationship, so close that his family, life, death and health are closely related to another person who is not related by blood, and the other party is the same.

Li Yikai's throat tightened, and he asked softly, "So the one you rejected a few days ago was your cousin?"

"Yeah," Yuan Zhiming bowed his head, "Isn't it indifferent?"

Li Yikai shook his head and twirled the messy hair on his forehead: "I want to hug you, can I?"

Like a small animal falling into a soft nest, Yuan Zhiming bumped into Li Yikai's shoulder tightly.

On weekend nights in the city, some people spend a lot of money at a charity dinner, and some people are waiting for their dreams to be finalized in the background; separated by a wall, they hugged quietly for a long time.

Yuan Zhiming's ice cubes gradually melted, returning the softness to those who are willing to embrace it.

He still put his arms around Li Yikai's shoulders, raised his head slightly, put his chin on his shoulder, and said, "I have already decided not to participate in this exhibition."

"But then I saw Zhao Kaisi post on Moments, and I thought, I still want you to see it, even if other viewers can't see it, or even be ridiculed by others, I want to put it in front of you."

"So I went to Xue Ming again, and I said it can be placed in the corner, without a base, just put it there, even without a nameplate."

"Actually, he was very angry, but he still agreed."

"I think, this is my imperfect work, I am also very imperfect, with many shortcomings, many people can't accept it, and I don't care about being accepted."

"except you."

Yuan Zhiming let go of his hand, and pulled Li Yikai's shoulder back a little distance, so that he could see the other person's eyes.

He asked: "My fate is already like this. I can't change it, but I can guarantee that I won't frostbite you or make you allergic. I can take care of myself."

"In this case, although I am ugly, I can still stand in front of you completely, maybe you can accept it?"

Li Yikai didn't answer, the phone rang briskly, interrupting them cheerfully.

"what happened?"

Zhou Xing said in a low voice: "I don't really want to disturb you, but this auction will soon be Zhao Kaisi's turn, and I think it will soon be Yuan Zhiming. Just a reminder, do you want to come in?"

Li Yikai said "um", and said he would go back soon.

"Let's go first," he said after hanging up the phone.

Yuan Zhiming watched him fasten his cuff buttons and straighten his tie. He was stunned for a moment, but asked again without giving up: "You haven't said anything yet, can you?"

Li Yikai pulled his shirt out from the sleeves of his suit a little, turned his head away from the warm eyes, and tried to lower the corners of his mouth.

After coughing, he said, "I'll think about it."
