Regarding this exhibition, the industry has given high praise, and the social feedback is also very good. With the transaction price of ¥700,000 among the newcomers, Mo Yisheng has indeed become the most extravagant one. In addition to Li Qing’s special recommendation, a newspaper media who has always had a good relationship with her also conducted an exclusive interview with him.
It is conceivable that the price of his paintings will naturally rise in the future.
“I won’t enter any association.”
Mo Yisheng and Yan Hai’an wrapped up the painting for Sun Yan together. He has been working on ‘Triumph’ since the completion of ‘Sunset’, and the dark circles under his eyes could not be eliminated. His skin is fair, so the dark circles are very obvious. It made Yan Hai’an feel very distressed.
Knowing this would be the result, Yan Hai reassured him: “Let’s talk about it later. Take a good rest these few days and don’t think about anything more.”
Mo Yisheng emphasised: “Tell Sister Li that I don’t want to join any association. Tell her to stop persuading me about it.”
When Li Qing saw Yan Hai’an before, Wang Yuhu opened his mouth to say that Mo Yisheng is a good seedling and he is willing to be his introducer to let him join the Oil Painting Association. The president of the association personally vouched for it, which is undoubtedly a good thing. The only thing the two were worried about was that Mo Yisheng, this stubborn donkey, was not going to respect his intention.
Yan Hai’an got the expected answer and knew that this matter was pushed in a hurry. So he stopped arguing with Mo Yisheng, put the person into the car, and prepared to take Mo Yisheng home.
The little girl at the front desk asked, “The boss wants to go out?”
The flowers on the front desk had gradually disappeared. Since someone had stopped sending flowers from time to time, the vase was finally empty.
Yan Hai’an agreed: “Well, I’ll be right back. You can get off work first.”
Mo Yisheng’s house is very close to the studio. It’s a simple set of three rooms. At the time he lived with his mother, but now the other bedroom is Yan Haian’s room. The extra room was a storage room.
Mo Yisheng’s mother, Li Weiwei, is a strange woman. She divorced Mr. Mo when Yi Sheng was in elementary school because there was no love between the husband and wife. When she took Mo Yisheng to university, she found a Chinese guy overseas and moved to the United States without hesitation.
Mo Yisheng has always been very supportive of Li Weiwei’s pursuit of true love, and it can be considered that… like mother, like son… Their personality goes hand in hand.
At this moment, Mo Yisheng was also tired. He was getting sleepier. When he feels sleepy, he just wants to lie in bed. Yan Hai’an urged him to finish washing before letting him go to bed. Mo Yisheng rolled up the blanket on his body as soon as he got into bed, turned his back to Yan Hai’an, and fell asleep within ten seconds.
Yan Hai’an didn’t bother him, adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, tucked the corners of the blanket, and turned off the lights before leaving.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yisheng woke up in a daze and said: “You can contact Sun Yan. He is eager to ask for the painting…”
“Hmm. I will.” Yan Hai’an gently closed the door, “You take a rest now. Sleep.”
Mo Yisheng rested, but Yan Hai’an himself had to go back to the studio to work.
To take care of Mo Yisheng himself, to take care of the operation of the studio, and to be a qualified agent, in fact, he is also very tired. Fortunately, his income is now better.
What should Wang Yuhu say about it… He thought. Alas, I’m so tired.
After sitting in the car and smoking a cigarette, Yan Hai’an rubbed his forehead and felt like he wanted to have a drink but when he thought of Li Xi’s face, he lost all his interest. It seems that he can only choose another place in the future, which is such a pity.
He lit another cigarette, holding the cigarette in one hand, flipping through the messages on the phone with the other, thinking of Sun Yan’s painting.
It’s only past ten o’clock now. So if he makes a phone call, he won’t be a bother to Sun Yan, right?
Finding a reasonable reason, Yan Haian threw half of the cigarette away and called Sun Yan.
This number was saved from Mo Yisheng’s mobile phone just in case, but the other party must have not saved his own phone number. He wonders if Boss Sun has the habit of not answering calls from unfamiliar numbers.
Sun Yan smiled as soon as he picked up before saying: “It’s strange. Why did you call me?”
Yan Hai’an was stunned. When did Sun Yan get his phone number? He wondered.
His thought only lasted for a moment. After all, it is not an important matter. So he talked about the main reason for his call: “The painting you ordered from Yi Sheng has already been painted, when will it be convenient for me to send it to you?”
“Oh…” Sun Yan seemed to have forgotten about this painting and took a moment to pick his thoughts up, “That painting, can you send it over before 11 o’clock?”
Yan Hai’an glanced at the digital clock on the car. It was ten twenty o’clock.He doesn’t know where Sun Yan is so he might not be able to reach the place before eleven.
Sun Yan listened to him not talking for a long time, and then said: “Forget it. Make it before 11:30.”
“It should be possible.” Yan Hai’an pulled the seat belt and fastened it while he was still on the phone, “I will go back to the studio to get the painting immediately. What’s your address?”
Sun Yan said, “Add my WeChat. The same phone number. I’ll send you the address.”
“Okay.” The address was sent without delay. He estimated that the road conditions were good at this time and it might only take forty minutes to get there from the studio. He should reach there in time.
The villa area where Sun Yan lives is famous in City B. Even if he doesn’t share the location, Yan Hai’an can navigate to get there. After spending three minutes at the gate with the security guard, Yan Hai’an entered. In such a huge land that caused a lot of money, there is still a considerable distance between the single-family villas here. His little old modelled Buick car, which is only worth ¥100,000, feels out of place in this area.
After driving to the end of the navigation, Yan Hai’an carefully took out the painting from the back seat, went up the steps, and rang the doorbell. It took half a minute for someone to open the door.
It was a housekeeper who invited him in. There was also another housekeeper in the hall cleaning the bathroom. Sun Yan went down the stairs while tidying up his neckline: “You’re here?”
He raised his wrist: “You’re quite right on time. Hey, this painting is not small, isn’t it?”
Yan Hai’an tried to look back on his memory of when Mo Yisheng was painting it. It was placed on the easel back then. Sun Yan stayed there for a long time and he didn’t know what he was even looking at. Was he looking at Mo Yisheng’s ass?
Yan Hai’an turned gloomy and asked, “Where do you want to put this painting?”
“Follow me to…” Sun Yan swallowed the words and turned around, calling out in a loud voice, “Aunt Hong, help me put it in the guest room first.”
Logically, this thing should be put in the basement. The painting is lying there quietly. The cheapest pair on the wall of their house was auctioned back by Sun Ling from the UK, and it was worth more than 20 million yuan. But in front of Yan Hai’an, Sun Yan was a little speechless.
Xu Hong and Ling Li worked together to remove the painting.
Yan Hai’an watched them go upstairs and turned to Sun Yan and said, “Then I’ll go first.”
Sun Yan asked, “Do you have any plans later?”
“No.” Yan Hai’an asked curiously, “What’s the matter?”
Sun Yan was also surprised by himself for asking. After asking such a question, he frowned strangely for a while, lowered his eyes, and looked up at Yan Hai’an again.
The weight of this reluctance is very light, like the casual glance out of the window after getting up in the morning and opening the eyes. A casual guess in the heart of whether it may be a sunny day or it may be a cloudy day.
And Yan Hai’an stood there waiting for him, looking like he was not in a bad mood.
Yeah, it just looks like it.
Sun Yan’s gloomy heart was like a match streaking across the box. The flashing light didn’t even have time to illuminate anything, leaving only a little bit of hard-to-find and extremely uncertain revelation. He walked past Yan Hai’an, grabbed his shoulders and walked him towards the door together: “It’s rare for you to come here. Let’s go. This brother will show you something different.”
Yan Hai’an was pulled two steps away by him. He subconsciously pushed and refused : “I…”
Sun Yan turned his head and looked at him: “You have nowhere to go anyway, right?”
As soon as he said this, Yan Hai’an was speechless. He needed to find a place to relieve stress and exhaustion. Seeing that Sun Yan was dressed in an unassuming and easy-to-exercise outfit, he thought that he would never go to a particularly strange place.
But how can he just go with him?
Regarding Sun Yan, Yan Hai’an’s current feelings have to be said… he doesn’t know how to put it into words. The vigilance and disgust at the beginning have been unknowingly felt much less now.
He couldn’t say whether it was because Sun Yan had changed, or if he himself had changed his perspective.
Yan Hai’an thought that if Sun Yan could have a drink and chat with him occasionally, it might be good. There was always such a fleeting moment when he could find clues in Sun Yan’s resonance.
Of course, due to their identity and character, after Sun Yan lost interest in Mo Yisheng as promised, they may not need to contact one another anymore.
“Where are we going?” Yan Hai’an parked his car in their underground garage under the command of Sun Yan, which really opened his eyes.
It must have cost a lot of money to build this underground garage. In order to save the parking space, it was dug deep enough and was divided into two floors with a liftable mechanical elevator. At first glance, it looks like a famous car showroom.
Yan Hai’an sighed again.
Ah, it’s nice to have money.
Such an expensive hobby can only be supported by the Sun family.
“A cool place.” When he stopped, Sun Yan took him into a car. Yan Hai’an frowned and said, “Let’s talk about it first. If you’re going to a messy place, I wanna go back.”
Sun Yan put one hand on the steering wheel and formed a smile: “Why do you have to say so much nonsense?”
Yan Hai’an listened to him. That being said, knowing that he’s not going to any kind of strange clubhouse, he is even more curious inside.
As soon as the car started, he heard something different. He has never played with cars, but he is a man, and he is somewhat interested in cars. The engine has been modified. He notices it as soon as he hears it, and this feeling is even more obvious when he hits the road.
Sun Yan drove straight out of the city. After 12 o’clock, there were only a few cars passing by on the road outside the city. It was very quiet.
Yan Hai’an asked, “Are you going to throw dead bodies?”
“What dead bodies are there to throw?” Sun Yan was amused by him and it made him laugh, “Isn’t it safer to bury them directly under my garage?”
Yan Hai’an looked out of the window at the darkness, thinking that they might be going to the suburban mountains.
He didn’t listen to the radio in the car so Sun Yan said, “There are cigarettes in front of you. Help yourself.”
It seems that the car has always had it. Yan Hai’an opened the storage box in front of him. In addition to cigarettes and lighters, there are also sunglasses, tissues, and a box of condoms.
Yan Hai’an tried his best not to think about whether there was any body fluid on the seat under his butt. He opened the cigarette case and took out a cigarette.
Sun Yan’s voice seemed to have been suppressed by the evening wind in the dark night, with a slight chill: “Help me light one.”
“How long will we get there?” Yan Hai’an picked up a cigarette and blocked the wind with his hand. The wind from outside the window caused the cigarette butt to ignite a little bit, and after making sure it would not go out anymore, he handed it to Sun Yan’s mouth.
Sun Yan held it in his mouth, bit his cigarette butt and said, “Soon.”
After driving forward for more than half an hour, Sun Yan gradually slowed down. There was a large fork in front of him and a group of people had already surrounded him. There were people standing and sitting, several cars parked aside, the voices and the occasional engine noises made the mountain no longer quiet.
As soon as these people saw Sun Yan’s car, they immediately surrounded him.
“Brother Sun, you’re here?” The leader saw Yan Hai’an sitting next to him with a smile on his face, and his smile became greasy, “You brought someone here today.”
Yan Hai’an raised his eyebrows without giving him a single look. “Racing?”
Sun Yan shrugged, with a smile on his face but not a complete smile: “It’s just for fun.” Yan Hai’an looked straight at the mountain road. No one can guarantee safety when the sports car is accelerating at full speed on that road.
Just for fun? He wondered. That’s akin to taking your own life.
The man was left aside by them and he didn’t dare to feel dissatisfied in front of Sun Yan. So he waved to the side, calling someone over: “Brother Sun, there is a friend of mine. She has admired you for a long time and especially liked these fast cars. She heard that we will meet here once a month. Let me bring her over, she wants to meet you.”
The one he recruited was a beautiful girl and she called out to Brother Sun in a clear voice. With that look in her eyes under the light of the next car passing by, it looked really bright. As far as the facial features and figure are concerned, she is a beauty even without makeup.
The man gave the girl a wink. She then said to Sun Yan, “Brother Sun, I think the guy next to you is a bit shy. Why don’t you just sit next to me and try? It’s going to be too exciting, I’m afraid he won’t be able to bear it. Why don’t you take me for one lap first?”
Sun Yan turned his head and asked Yan Hai’an, “Are you afraid?”
The exhaust pipe and engine of the car kept roaring around, as if inciting and threatening him. The road ahead was rough and unpredictable. The danger lurks in the darkness, staring right at them.
Yan Haian tilted his head. A hole was slowly torn out of his heart in which he had always pretended to be calm. A smile gradually appeared on his face. He looked a little contented, but he was very similar to Sun Yan.
He raised his eyes and squinted them at Sun Yan: “Why would I be afraid?”
***The author has something to say:
Sun Yan: Come on, don’t be pretentious.
Yan Hai’an: I don’t know you.
