Hidden heart

Shen Yao decided not to make fun of himself, and did not go to the appointment with Bai Yuwei in person, but only sent the people below to hand it over.

That night, he was eating out with Ouyang Fei when his phone rang suddenly. It was Xue Ze who sent a photo, followed by another sentence: "Brother Yao, look who this is—"

The person in the photo is indeed Fan Xuechen.Although it is only a distant silhouette, but that kind of lofty posture, like a frosty winter plum, appears so lonely and isolated among the crowd.

"So he is Bai Yuwei's boyfriend—"

"Where are you?" Shen Yao couldn't help asking him.

"It's in Yanbo Tower. It seems that Bai Yuwei is really willing to work hard for her new lover, and invited all those famous calligraphers and painters!"

"What are you doing there?"

"Of course it's my lover! Let me tell you, she is the daughter of the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association. She is a beautiful model. I will bring her here to let you know tomorrow."

"Did he drink?" Shen Yao asked this question out of nowhere when he saw a group of people holding wine glasses.

"Fan Xuechen? Can he not drink? But he can't drink anything, he looks sick, hehe, I really don't know what Bai Yuwei likes about him."

"Mr. Shen, are you okay?" Ouyang Fei, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help asking when she saw that he had been staring at the phone.

Only then did Shen Yao realize that there was another person beside him, so he put away the phone and said, "It's nothing."

"The day after tomorrow is the opening day of the art exhibition. Yuwei asked me to give a solo at the dinner party. I was really worried that I missed her."

"Yuwei and I have seen your skills before, so why worry?"

Ouyang Fei was very happy to hear that, and clinked glasses with him a little bit shyly.

When the two broke up, Ouyang Fei said, "Mr. Shen, can you call me 'Feifei'?" Shen Yao nodded, "Of course." Ouyang Fei thought he would make her change her name, but Shen Yao He didn't have the mind to get entangled in this, so he said goodbye to her and left.

Sitting in the car, Shen Yao looked at the photo sent by Xue Ze on his mobile phone, and suddenly felt like a flood of longing. Although he still couldn't help but feel depressed, his eyes seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, and he couldn't bear to move them away.In the end, I silently saved the photo.

At the beginning of November, Shen Yao still attended the opening of the art exhibition as agreed.Walking into the newly decorated exhibition hall, the words "Thousands of Mountains and Evening Snow—Chinese Painting Exhibition of Emerging Painter Fan Xuechen" have been written on it.

Celebrities and dignitaries from City S came to the scene one after another. As soon as Shen Yao walked in, those people immediately flocked to his side.Shen Yao knew almost all the people who came, and they were usually in the same circle, and there were quite a few people who were both enemies and friends, and relatives.It seemed that Bai Yuwei did have some skills, and it could be said that she had put in all of her time for Fan Xuechen.

At this time, Bai Yuwei walked over wearing a lavender Chinese dress, her demeanor was more dignified and elegant than usual, her slender white jade arm was held in the crook of Fan Xuechen's left hand, and she seemed very intimate with him.

And Fan Xuechen was wearing a jade-white retro robe, which made him look like a white plum blossom in the snow, especially a kind of noble and self-admired.The two appeared in pairs, and they seemed to be a good match.

Shen Yao hadn't seen Fan Xuechen for many days, and now when she saw him, she couldn't hold other people in her eyes anymore.It was his swaying and desolate demeanor that made him so intoxicated.

Arranged reporters from all walks of life rushed forward. Bai Yuwei was as elegant as a swan, and she was naturally handy for such a grand and lively scene.And Fan Xuechen just quietly accompanied her, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Shen." Bai Yuwei walked towards Shen Yao.Countless flash lights immediately focused on Shen Yao.Shen Yao smiled and shook hands with her, but the corners of his eyes were always on Fan Xuechen.However, the expression on Fan Xuechen's face was still clear and indifferent, as if meeting him for the first time.

Shen Yao really loves and hates him.What I love is his demeanor, what I hate is his attitude.

"Brother Yao, I can guarantee that tomorrow all the media will be gossip about you, Bai Yuwei, and Fan Xuechen!" Xue Ze walked over with a tall, beautiful and sexy woman, and said cheerfully, "I thought you I won’t be coming, hehe, but you can show the demeanor of Mr. Shen by coming, right?” Then he said: “This is my girlfriend——”

"Hi, my name is Liu Yuexin. I often hear Ozawa talking about Brother Yao. It's better to meet him than to be famous." Liu Yuexin extended her hand to Shen Yao in a graceful manner.

"Xinxin, do you think our brother Yao is handsome, or that Mr. Fan?" Xue Ze touched Liu Yuexin's gorgeous face and teased.

"Mr. Shen and Mr. Fan are two different types of people. Mr. Shen is handsome and unrestrained. I believe that no woman can reject a man like Mr. Shen. Mr. Fan's temperament is so dusty, I am afraid that no woman can easily fall into his eyes." .”

"Oh, my little boy, you can really talk! But I'm going to be angry when you say that. Both of them are men who are liked by women. What about me? Could it be that I can't compare with them? "

Liu Yuexin pursed her lips and smiled, "You, only a woman like me can choose you, otherwise who else do you want to go to?" Xue Ze smiled and kissed her lips, "Okay, As long as I have you, that's enough!"

Just as Ouyang Fei came over, Xue Ze's eyes lit up when he saw it. Today she was wearing a floor-length dress with an exposed breast. The light green color was like the blue sky after the rain, which made her skin as creamy and her eyes rippling. affectionate.

She greeted Shen Yao, and Shen Yao said: "Miss Ouyang is more beautiful today." The smile on Ouyang Fei's face froze at this moment, and her eyes lowered.

"Brother Yao, when did you meet such a beautiful woman, why don't you introduce it to me, isn't it too embarrassing?" Xue Ze intuitively felt that the beautiful woman in front of him must have an affair with Shen Yao.

Shen Yao spent the whole day messing around with Xue Ze and the others, and could only look at Fan Xuechen among the crowd.But Fan Xuechen's every movement and every look almost fell into Shen Yao's heart.

During the luncheon, Shen Yao also sat on the chief seat.He looked at Fan Xuechen holding up the wine glass and drinking the wine toasted by everyone, and he felt a distressed feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Shen," Bai Yuwei walked towards him with a smile, and said, "I toast to you with Xuechen." Chen really wants to thank you very much."

Shen Yao stared at Fan Xuechen who was standing beside Bai Yuwei. Seeing that he lowered his head slightly and didn't look at him, he felt a little annoyed in his heart—could it be that he really doesn't care about himself like that?

"Did Mr. Fan come to toast me too?"

Fan Xuechen didn't answer when he heard what he said, but just clinked the glass with him, and then poured the wine into his own mouth with the glass.

Nearly halfway through the drink, Shen Yao finally couldn't help reaching out and holding him down, and said, "Why are you drinking so much?"

Fan Xuechen raised his reddened eyes and said, "Don't you want to drink?"

"Just take a sip..."

Fan Xuechen lowered his head and took a sip of his wine.The beauty of the red wine stained his lips, adding a bit of charm.

Shen Yao saw that he hadn't laughed for a long time, but his expression was gloomy, and he didn't seem very happy, so he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Today's art exhibition was a success, you should feel happy, right?"

Fan Xuechen said coldly, "Really?"

"You don't like it? All the respectable people in City S are here."

Seeing that he was pursing his thin lips and about to walk away, Shen Yao quickly grabbed his arm and whispered to him: "Xuechen..."

Fan Xuechen and him looked at each other, although it was only a short look, but Shen Yao seemed to see his loneliness and arrogance from those hazel eyes.

For a moment, he didn't know what the person in front of him was thinking, so he could only ask with concern: "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes." Fan Xuechen replied softly.

"You really look good dressed like this, very special..."

"Yuwei let me go." Fan Xuechen said and gently broke free from his hand, turned and left.

"Brother Yao, what are you talking to him about?" Xue Ze walked behind him and caught his shoulder. "He's really weird, he can't laugh or talk, he looks like a wooden man, why do you think Bai Yuwei fell in love with him?"

Seeing that Shen Yao was still looking at Fan Xuechen, Xue Ze continued, "If you let me stay with him for a whole day, I will definitely be suffocated to death by him!"

"Hmph," Shen Yao turned his face, not knowing whether he was angry with him or Fan Xuechen, and said, "Do you think you can catch his eyes?"

"Yo, who does he think he is? Isn't he just a painter?" Xue Ze was unconvinced, "I am also Young Master Xue of the Hengzhao Group. I can get whatever I want, why can't I catch his eyes?"

"Stop talking nonsense here, drink your wine!"

"Brother Yao, you are wrong! Why do you seem to be helping him..."

Shen Yao pushed Xue Ze to other tables, and when he came back with the wine glass, Fan Xuechen was nowhere to be seen, only Bai Yuwei was chatting and laughing with him.

Shen Yao quietly walked to Bai Yuwei's side, and said in a low voice, "Yuwei, why are you alone?"

"Xuechen is a little drunk, I asked him to go upstairs to rest." Bai Yuwei's wine-red eyes flirtatiously pointed at Shen Yao, "If Mr. Shen is free, why don't you go and see him?" Looking at Xue Chen, he just recovered from a serious illness, I am really worried about him."

"Master Shen, what are you whispering to Miss Bai?" Some people looked towards them, and Bai Yuwei walked towards them with a wine glass and a smile.Taking advantage of the focus of everyone on Bai Yuwei, Shen Yao said a few perfunctory words to the people around him, then put down his wine glass and left.

No matter what, Shen Yao's heart still couldn't let him go.
