She quickly dragged the phone line to the window in disbelief. Gu Qiqi looked down and saw a roadster parked downstairs. There was someone sitting in the passenger seat. It was Ding Shaonan. They were really two evildoers who had caused trouble for thousands of years. In addition to that car, the people passing by kept looking at them.
Gu Qiqi secretly complained and quickly called out,""Aiya! Why did you come here and drive such a stupid car? Don't stand out there. Hurry up and come up. Right after you exit the elevator, it's 502.”
When they opened the door, the two of them saw Gu Qiqi dressed in oil paint. She was wearing a blue coat with her sleeves rolled up. There was a lot of paint on the front of her sleeves. Her hands were also colorful, no less than the color on the color palettes. Only then did they understand why they had to wait upstairs. It was really impossible to clean her up in a short period of time.
Wei Chi was a little stunned.”
Gu Qiqi stuck out her tongue and said,"It's not all you!" I was already in a mess when I was painting, but your call came at the right time.”
Wei Chi raised his eyebrows. Beloved consort, quickly go change and receive the emperor."
Ding Shaonan gave him a sideways glance,"What are you talking about?"”
Gu Qiqi rolled her eyes and let them in. The room was filled with the pleasant smell of pine. The two of them carefully walked around the easel in the middle of the living room. It was their first time visiting her house. The house was very new. The living room was not big, but the walls were filled with books. The decoration was simple and quiet.
Wei Chi was also a little curious. He looked around and said in a teasing tone,"Yo, alive! You are the first living female painter I know. You have to give me something. I reserved this painting.”
Gu Qiqi knew that he didn't have anything serious to say, so she opened the fridge door with her elbow and gestured,""We only have iced mineral water at home. You can take it yourselves.”Looking at Wei Chi who was walking towards her, she pursed her lips and said,"Do you think I have to give you a painting just because you did something? However, I am learning how to carve seals. I can carve a special seal for you later.”
"Oh, that's good!" Wei Chi was in a good mood and asked,"What's the Special Four Seal?" At the same time, let me gain some knowledge."
"It's the upgraded version of the Special Second Seal."”Before he finished speaking, Wei Chi choked on a mouthful of water.
Ding Shaonan didn't say anything since he came in. He just stood quietly in front of a group of bookshelves and browsed through the stacked photo frames.
After getting to know him, she realized that it was completely different from the first impression Gu Qiqi had. Ding Shaonan was cold and steady most of the time, and the distance he gave off could not be easily eliminated just because they were familiar with each other. Sometimes, even though he could clearly see that he was enjoying himself, even someone as close as Zhou Xuetao would not casually pat his shoulder and talk to him at this time. Except for Wei Chi, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, his temper and personality were also there. However, Ding Shaonan could endure it very well when he met him.
After interacting with them for a while, Gu Qiqi slowly realized that one of them was actually a lion while the other was a cat. They were basically animals of the same magnitude. On the surface, it looked like they were always using their claws to scratch each other, but in fact, it was just a way for fierce beasts to play. Everyone knew each other's secrets, but there was no need for anyone to risk both sides to touch each other's bottom line. The two equally proud men refused to admit to each other that they appreciated each other.
This was probably the biggest difference between a friendship between men and a friendship between women. Just like the saying," a leopard may change its spots, but a leopard may not change its spots ", men's friendships were often more lasting than women's friendships. The former was based on the equality of personality, while the latter was based on similar interests. The former was deep and profound, ignoring status and status to directly point to the essence; The latter was clear, and a single piece of clothing or meal could affect one's external emotions. In fact, there was no one better than the other. They were the comfort that each other needed.
Gu Qiqi used turpentine to wipe the paint on her hands while explaining to Ding Shaonan who was browsing the bookshelves,"
"Those are photos of me when I was young.”
These rows of photos, from left to right, accompanied Gu Qiqi for many nights. Every photo had her story. In the photos, she smiled so brightly and so lovingly.
Ding Shaonan looked at her with a smile and nodded lightly, but he didn't say anything. His gaze gradually shifted to a copy of Xu Beihong's " Sleeping Cat " for Sun Duoci, which was hanging beside the bookshelf. The big painting was " I can't bear to look back ", while the small one was " Lonely Who to Give Me, Dizzy for Another Year ".
A grandmaster of his generation, the autumn water was flowing, and his love was hidden in the painting. The author of the copy had the name "Hu Qing" written on it. Ding Shaonan pointed at the author's name in surprise and asked,""This is?"
"Oh, Lu Qing is my mother. She painted Chinese paintings, but her job was cultural archaeology, so she was often not at home.”He quickly answered.
Ding Shaonan was stunned when he heard her answer." You're Gu Cheng's daughter?”
Gu Qiqi was stunned." How do you know about my dad?”
However, she heard Wei Chi on the other side make a sound of surprise. She thought that he was going to ask something. She turned around and saw that he was only studying the seal in his hand. Seeing Gu Qiqi turn around to look at him, he smiled and pointed."Sister Gu, I happen to know about this. Why is the old seal of He Xueyu from the Ming Dynasty thrown on the ground? What a waste of a grandmaster!"
Gu Qiqi rolled her eyes and replied helplessly,""You know it's He Xueyu's, but you can't tell that I made it!”
"Tsk! The original is in my grandfather's study. Otherwise, do you think I would recognize this? I'm just curious. Why do you have to learn so many different things when your mother is painting? You're still so righteous. How can you throw away other people's things like this after copying them? No wonder you're half-baked at learning seals." Her tone was full of disdain, as if she was really insulting her elegance. Seeing that she was speechless for a moment, he said in a good mood,
"However, his saber skills are strong and his brush is full of the will of the heavens. He has the spirit of He Xueyu. Since it's already in my hands, I won't be polite.”As he spoke, he was about to put it into his pocket.
"Don't mind me. I was just joking around. It's only half a bottle of water anyway. If you really like his things, I'll seriously make one for you next time after I finish my apprenticeship.”Gu Qiqi was a little embarrassed and hurriedly stopped him.
Wei Chi glanced at her in disdain." Forget it. Who knows when you'll be able to graduate? Just this one." As for the Special Four Seal, I'll spare it for you. You don't have to thank me.”
Gu Qiqi was speechless at his vengeful attitude.
