Hidden heart

"What's the matter, Mr. Xue?" Fan Xuechen went to the studio and shut out the noise from downstairs.

Xue Ze looked around the room, and said, "Brother Yao will take care of you, I think these paintings are worth a lot."

"How can the value of a painting be measured by money." Fan Xuechen glanced at him indifferently.

"Oh?" Xue Ze smiled and said, "If you don't need money, what should you use?"

"Of course it's from the heart."

"Intention? What heart? Can you buy such a painting with just a heart?"

"Do you like this painting?" Fan Xuechen asked.

"Who doesn't like valuable things?"

"But it may be worthless in your hands."

"Why?" Xue Ze looked at him stupidly.

"Because your interest is not in it itself, naturally you won't understand it. If you don't understand it, how can it be valuable?"

Xue Ze thought for a while, looked at him with some disappointment and said, "When you were with Brother Yao, did you often tell him these great truths?"

"It's none of your business."

"I'm just curious. For a cold person like you, what method did Brother Yao use to subdue you? Of course, I admit that Brother Yao's taste is a bit higher than mine, but you don't look like It’s from our journey, don’t you think?”

Fan Xuechen didn't answer him, but turned his head to the outside of the window, there was a garden, but after the chill of autumn frost, not even the withered yellow leaves were left.

"You don't like to show off, and it's not for money, so what are you doing for it? Of course, brother Yao has always been very charming, and a large group of men and women will follow you if you do anything, but you are not a vulgar person, and you are not for money. Fame, is it only because of love?"

Seeing that he was silent, Xue Ze pulled another chair and sat in front of him, looked at him probingly, and said, "I think you seem like a stubborn person, if Brother Yao doesn't want you anymore, you What will happen?"

Fan Xuechen pursed her pale lips, looked at him and said calmly, "You think too much."

Xue Ze laughed triumphantly, "Hey, Brother Yao is more affectionate than us, but he is not the kind of person who would hang himself on a tree, and he would still break up when it was time to break up, just Just like Bai Yuwei. I thought he would marry Bai Yuwei, but the two of them are actually a good match, whether it's appearance or ability, don't you think?"

"Yes."

Xue Ze didn't expect him to answer like this, he was stunned for a moment, and said, "You are really strange! Have you talked to Bai Yuwei before?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"It's okay. But if I don't talk to you, don't you feel lonely here alone?"

"I don't think so."

Xue Ze curled his lips, "Are you really not lonely? According to me, you are with brother Yao because of loneliness."

Fan Xuechen's pupils shrank a little because of his words, but Xue Ze didn't notice it.

"Oh, what nonsense am I talking about!" Seeing that he was ignoring him, Xue Ze felt that it was meaningless, so he stood up and said, "Then I'm leaving, you can stay here alone!" As he spoke, he strode out and closed the door with a "snap".

Darkness began to cover the entire room, gradually swallowing his entire being.The noise downstairs was still going on, but his heart was still shaken by Xue Ze's words.

The scene when Shen Yao brought him back for the first time emerged in his mind. At that time, he had already realized that his feelings for Shen Yao were far beyond his physical desire.

Because deep down in his soul he didn't feel that Shen Yao was a suitable person for him, although he still had some hopes for Shen Yao at first.But people like Shen Yao can only act on the occasion, if you really want to talk about affection with him, it's just deceiving yourself, hurting others and yourself.

Since he is so lonely and helpless, why doesn't he just follow his plan?Anyway, we are going to part in the end, so why not take advantage of the moment that you can't refuse to be with this man, quietly enjoy the joy like ordinary people, even if one finds happiness, the other relieves loneliness, each takes what he needs, Each has his own income, which is not bad.

Because he is such a lonely person, no one will pay attention to him-not before, never will.

Just as he was thinking about it, the lights in the room suddenly turned on. He raised his head in panic, and saw Shen Yao's tall and straight figure walking towards him.

"Xue Chen, why are you sitting in the dark like this?"

Shen Yao hugged him with some distress.He hugged Shen Yao tightly, and buried his head in that wide and warm embrace.

It was rare for Shen Yao to see him take the initiative, so he quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you miss me?"

A muffled response came from his arms, Shen Yao couldn't help laughing, raised his head, and kissed the cool lips.

The two kept kissing and lingering, looking for each other's desire in the intimate contact.

"Brother—" Shen Yu didn't know when he stood by the door, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked over coolly.

Only then did Shen Yao let go of the person in his arms, and said to Shen Yu, "Go down first, and clean up the place below. Otherwise, you can take your friends to dinner by yourself."

Shen Yu let out a "tch", turned around and left.

"Xuechen, that's my younger brother Shen Yu, have you met him?"

Fan Xuechen nodded, and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.Shen Yao held his hand and said, "Wipe it for me too..."

Fan Xuechen glanced at him, saw that he was looking at him narrowly, and his face was getting hot, so he wiped it off for him twice, and asked, "Are you still going out?"

"It's just taking them to dinner, and you go with me too."

"No, I don't want to go."

"What? You don't like to see Shen Yu?"

"I'm afraid of meeting strangers, and I can't speak."

"You just need to talk to me. And I don't want to leave you here." He stood up together with his arms around him, put a coat on him, and said, "Let's go, let's go down together."

When they sat down in the hotel, Shen Yao naturally sat with Fan Xuechen, and Shen Yu deliberately sat on the other side of Fan Xuechen.

The dishes on the table continued to be added, and several friends of Shen Yu brought wine glasses to toast Shen Yao.And when Shen Yu saw Fan Xuechen lowered his head, he seemed to be aloof and ignored no one.He hummed in a low voice, reached out to take the wine glass in front of Fan Xuechen, and said, "Are you so arrogant? You won't even have a drink with us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yao took the wine glass and put it on his side, saying: "Xue Chen doesn't know how to drink. You should drink less, isn't it enough to drink so much in the afternoon?"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Brother, I came to see you with good intentions, but you are too disrespectful to me."

"Xue Ze didn't ask you to come, will you come?"

"Why not? Ask them, do I want to come?" Shen Yu glanced over the faces of his friends at the same table, and those friends all agreed.

"I heard that you returned to China two months ago, where did you go?"

Many of Shen Yu's friends had met Shen Yao before, and when they heard him ask, they started chatting without waiting for Shen Yu's answer.

Shen Yu was feeling uncomfortable. Seeing that Fan Xuechen had been silent, he took this opportunity to tilt his head quietly, and said in Fan Xuechen's ear: "I didn't expect you to look so arrogant, but kissing my brother is really cool." Not disgusting at all!"

Fan Xuechen only glanced at him, moved her body a little towards Shen Yao, pursed her thin lips, and said in a low voice: "I think you misunderstood, I am not arrogant to you."

"Oh!" Shen Yu sneered, "Who do you think you are? It's just someone who was played by my brother, how dare you show your face to this young master!"

Shen Yu saw Fan Xuechen turned his head upright, with no expression on his pale face, but at this moment, in his eyes, it was all arrogance and contempt for him. Thinking of usually following Shen Yao Which one of the men and women in the world is not rushing to curry favor with oneself?The more angry he was, he suddenly raised his hand and poured all the wine in the glass onto Fan Xuechen's face.

It's not that Fan Xuechen didn't pay attention to him, when he saw Shen Yu move his hand, he instinctively fell on Shen Yao's body.

"Xue Chen!" Shen Yao hurriedly hugged him.But Shen Yu's wine didn't splash on his face, it all fell on his lapel.

"Shen Yu!" Shen Yao couldn't help roaring angrily.

Shen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother, I just want him to drink a glass of wine. Who would have thought that he would be so ungrateful that he wouldn't even drink my toast."

"I said Xuechen can't drink!" He looked at Fan Xuechen again and said, "Xuechen, how are you?"

Fan Xuechen bit her lip tightly and shook her head.

"Brother, maybe we drank too much wine in the afternoon, that's why Brother Yu was careless..." The others quickly helped Shen Yu out.

"Drink it yourself, I'll take Xuechen back first!" Shen Yao said as he helped Fan Xuechen up and was about to leave.

"Brother!" Shen Yu stood up with a livid face, "Why did you leave like this?"

"You did something wrong yourself and still have a reason to question me? Shen Yu, you'd better think it over for me, otherwise I won't see you!"

Shen Yao put his arms around Fan Xuechen and got into the car, feeling an indescribable guilt and tenderness in his heart, "Xuechen, don't take Shen Yu's words to heart, he has been spoiled by others, and he never knows the heights of heaven and earth."

"Xuechen?" Shen Yao saw that Fan Xuechen's head was buried in front of him, but there was no movement, so he gently raised his head.

"I'm fine." Fan Xuechen held his hand and lowered his head again.

Shen Yao had already seen the tears in his eyes from the light flashing outside the car window, and couldn't help hugging him tightly, saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you come, you must have never been wronged like this."

"No," Fan Xuechen said after a long while, "It's nothing, I'm not likable in the first place."

"Xuechen, don't say that. It's too late for me to love you, how can you be unlikable?" Shen Yao said and kissed his forehead pitifully.

"Only you, Shen Yao, only you can love my body." Fan Xuechen murmured while hugging him.

"No, I still love your heart."

Fan Xuechen's body trembled slightly, and said, "My heart?"

"No one is purer and more beautiful than you. In my eyes, no one else deserves to compare with you."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

Fan Xuechen couldn't help but sighed, and suddenly felt infinitely satisfied in her heart.

Even if everything Shen Yao gave him would become illusory, but the truth at this moment would always be remembered in his heart—unforgettable forever.
