Hidden heart

Four people slowly turned around in the exhibition hall.This exhibition hall is not too small, and the decoration inside is also very delicate, reflecting the charm of ink painting everywhere.It can be seen that Bai Yuwei has put a lot of thought into this place.Except for her own art exhibition, she should have never worried about others like this.

This made Shen Yao feel a little strange, because it is obvious that Bai Yuwei doesn't like Fan Xuechen that much, but she is so enthusiastic about his affairs, and she doesn't know what her purpose is, is it just to be in front of her? show off?Or to stimulate this ex-boyfriend?Shen Yao couldn't help turning his gaze to Bai Yuwei, who had a slight smile on her lightly made-up face, looking calm and happy.

At this time, I only heard Ouyang Fei say: "Are these paintings drawn by Mr. Fan?"

"That's right, Xuechen used to paint a lot of paintings in Yangzhou by himself, but they never exhibited them. This time, he sorted them out specially, so that these good paintings can be seen by others, so that they won't be buried."

"Yuwei, you really think about Mr. Fan."

The exhibition hall was empty, and a few people walked around. Bai Yuwei saw that it was almost noon, so she proposed to have lunch.

With Bai Yuwei in charge, the four of them came to a western restaurant.This is also the place where Shen Yao and Bai Yuwei have been to.But this time around, the relationship between the two has completely changed.

"Why did Feifei meet Mr. Shen?" Bai Yuwei asked with a smile.

"I happened to meet at the dance a few days ago. When I saw Mr. Shen, I wanted to ask you about your recent situation. I didn't expect you to change so much."

"Is there? Where have I changed?"

"I think you are more beautiful than before!" Ouyang Fei said to Shen Yao again: "Mr. Shen, don't you think so?"

Shen Yao had been looking at Fan Xuechen who was sitting across from him, and saw that he was holding a knife and fork, struggling to fiddle with the piece of steak in front of him, and there was a little red on the base of his ear.Shen Yao couldn't help but reached out and took his plate over, saying, "I'll do it."

"Why bother Mr. Shen?" Bai Yuwei noticed Fan Xuechen's predicament, and put a piece of steak she had cut in front of Fan Xuechen on Fan Xuechen's plate, and said softly: "Xuechen, you can eat mine first, I will eat it first." Forget that you are not used to eating Western food."

"Thank you, Yuwei." Fan Xuechen said as he picked up the piece of beef.

Shen Yao felt a little depressed in his heart, as if all his hospitality had been snatched away by others.But he still cut the steak piece by piece and put it in front of Fan Xuechen.Fan Xuechen also said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

Shen Yao never thought that one day he would be jealous of someone he had been in love with, especially when facing a woman he admired like Bai Yuwei, even he himself felt a little funny.

After a while, while Bai Yuwei and Ouyang Fei went to the bathroom together, Shen Yao said to Fan Xuechen: "Xuechen, don't you like western food?"

Fan Xuechen let out an "um" and put down the knife and fork in his hand.

"Then I won't bring you to this kind of place next time."

Fan Xuechen glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"I asked you out that day, did Yuwei not let you out?"

"No, I don't want to come out myself."

"Why?" Shen Yao couldn't help being disappointed when he heard him say that.

"My painting is not finished yet, it will take a long time to paint."

"That's gotta be time, don't you want to see me?"

Fan Xuechen pursed her lips and didn't answer again.

Shen Yao became angry, he really didn't know what Fan Xuechen meant.When he was with him, Fan Xuechen would never reject him, but when he was not in front of him, he seemed like a stranger, with a cold attitude, and everything he did for him seemed to be self-indulgent, which couldn't help but make him feel annoyed.

"What exactly do you mean?"

Fan Xuechen seemed to sense something wrong in his tone, raised her eyes, and looked at him blankly, "Mr. Shen, I don't mean anything. If you feel angry, I can apologize to you."

"You—" Shen Yao looked at the person in front of him with a sullen face, and he simply didn't know whether he was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

"I'm asking if you want to see me?"

Fan Xuechen lowered his eyes again, and said calmly, "Didn't you see it now?"

"If I don't come to see you, then you don't want to see me anymore?"

"I do not know."

"How could you not know!" Shen Yao's voice rose with anger.

"Mr. Shen, what are you arguing about?" Bai Yuwei and Ouyang Fei walked over.Bai Yuwei said: "Did Xue Chen say something wrong, don't take it offence, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

"I misunderstood, he didn't say anything wrong." Shen Yao looked away from Fan Xuechen's face.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Bai Yuwei smiled and sat down. "Xuechen, don't you want to eat?"

Fan Xuechen shook his head and said softly, "I'll come as soon as I go."

Shen Yao was angry at first, but when he saw Fan Xuechen left, he became even less in the mood.

"It seems that I shouldn't choose this place today, even Mr. Shen doesn't like it." Bai Yuwei said.

"Yuwei was joking. How could I not like the food you ordered?" She said and stuffed a bite into her mouth.After eating, I still couldn't help but stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Fan Xuechen was washing her hands in front of the mirror, when she turned around she saw Shen Yao standing in front of her.Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yao embraced him and kissed his thin lips at the same time.

Fan Xuechen didn't say anything, and didn't even look up at him.

"Why didn't you reject me?" Shen Yao said.

Fan Xuechen just glanced at him, "Do you want me to reject you?"

"I'm asking if you want to reject me?" Shen Yao felt discouraged and couldn't even vent his anger.

Fan Xuechen thought for a while, and seemed a little unsure how to answer.

Shen Yao raised his chin and said, "Xue Chen, I want you to tell me the truth."

Fan Xuechen lowered her eyes and said softly, "I don't reject you."

Shen Yao's heart jumped suddenly, and he said in surprise, "Why?"

"I don't hate you."

"anything else?"

Fan Xuechen shook his head.

"Do you like me?"

"I do not know."

Shen Yao let go of him, feeling a little depressed again. "I want to ask you out tomorrow night, will you come out?"

Fan Xuechen shook his head slightly again.

Shen Yao suddenly stared at him viciously and said, "I definitely want you to come out! If you don't come out, I'll always be waiting there for you!" He said and walked out first.

At night, Shen Yao didn't want to go out with Xue Ze, but stayed at home alone.Thinking of what happened at the art exhibition, he felt a little bored, picked up his cell phone, and dialed Fan Xuechen's number.

The phone rang again, but still no one answered.Shen Yao looked at the time, it was nine o'clock.He called a second time, but still no one answered, and he didn't know if Fan Xuechen did it on purpose or for some other reason, so he threw his phone on the sofa in anger.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, Shen Yao hurriedly held it in his hand and looked, the word "Xue Chen" was displayed on the screen.

"Xuechen!" Shen Yao called out.

The person opposite smiled, it was Bai Yuwei's voice, "Mr. Shen, are you looking for Xuechen?"

Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be Bai Yuwei.

"What about Xuechen?"

"He's still in the shower and probably won't be out for a while."

As soon as Shen Yao heard that Fan Xuechen was taking a bath, he immediately thought of a bad scene and felt jealous.

"Is Mr. Shen looking for something urgent with Xue Chen?"

"Well. If he comes out, you ask him to call me back."

"Okay, I must let him come back."

Shen Yao hung up the phone, thinking of the picture of Fan Xuechen and Bai Yuwei together all day long, his heart was sour and angry.What did Fan Xuechen think of herself?Could it be that he didn't take himself, Mr. Shen seriously?Or does he just see himself as an ordinary suitor?He even regarded himself as a spare tire?Of course, in his heart, he really didn't believe that Fan Xuechen would be such a person, nor would his behavior, words, or temperament be like that!

While guessing wildly, the phone finally rang, and Shen Yao let go of the sourness in his heart when he saw the words on the screen.

"Mr. Shen, what do you need from me?" Fan Xuechen's low and hoarse voice came over.

"You were in the shower just now?"

Fan Xuechen let out a "hmm".

"You and Bai Yuwei live in the same room?"

"Do not."

Shen Yao calmed down a little. "Aren't you going to draw tonight?"

"I came back very late today, so I can't draw anymore."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow night."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come tomorrow."

"why?"

"My painting……"

"Don't tell me this! Anyway, I want you to come!"

"Mr. Shen, I can't promise you."

"Beep..." Fan Xuechen actually hung up the phone!Shen Yao looked at his mobile phone, he didn't know what it was like.He never thought that he would be rejected one day, and he was rejected so thoroughly!But for that person, he seemed to have nothing to do.

He is not like the men and women he knew before, because of his identity and status, he can come and go as he pleases.He looked so cold to a certain level, no matter who he was with or where he was, he was always so lonely and noble.

For a person like this, except for the paintings he likes, everything seems to be ignored by him.But Shen Yao had already given him the famous painting, but he didn't express it at all.Even if I said "thank you" that day, it was just a casual saying.Not to mention other vulgar things like money and jewelry.

Shen Yao felt a little depressed when he thought of this, he had never felt this kind of feeling before.There was a faint thought in his heart, that Fan Xuechen would definitely not come on tomorrow's date.If it was someone else, he could still assume that that person was putting on airs, playing hard to get, duplicity, but Fan Xuechen would not, because he would definitely not be that kind of person.
