After a few days out on the road, Shan Qihuan was really tired, he slept until late afternoon, and the orange sunset was already ushered outside the house.
They took a nap in their wedding room today, he looked around the room, and found that Shen Yuhan was not in the room.
The 1.8 meter bed is still a bit too small, he’ll have to go back to his 2.2 meter bed to sleep, but how can he get Shen Yuhan to move there with him, this guy is still angry from the past few days.
Shan Qihuan checked the messages in his friend group before going downstairs, Ding Quan said that he had two tickets for a Chinese painting exhibition, he and his wife originally wanted to go, but something suddenly happened at home and they couldn’t go, so he asked them if they wanted to go.
Shan Qihuan chatted with him directly in private.
Mu Gen: You can give me the ticket.
Ding Quan: Are you going? Didn’t you go abroad?
Mu Gen: I came back at noon today.
Ding Quan: I thought I was wrong. Who are you taking with you?
Mu Gen: Just give it to me. In any case, I’m not taking you.
Ding Quan: Hahaha, do you want to take your little friend with you? Hidden so deeply.
Mu Gen: Yes, it’s my little friend.
Shan Qihuan thought of Shen Yuhan asking him if there was anyone outside, so he said it directly.
Ding Quan: Bring them out to meet us later.
Mu Gen: Let’s talk about it later.
Other people are somewhat prejudiced against Shen Yuhan, let’s not see each other for the time being, those guys have no control over their mouths, saying some nonsense and let him misunderstand again, Shen Yuhan loves to cry too much, when he cries, he has to be coaxed.
Ding Quan forwarded the QR codes of the two tickets to Shan Qihuan.

Shan Qihuan found Shen Yuhan, who was practicing calligraphy, in the study room, two days ago, he used his mobile phone to learn to write large characters, when Shan Qihuan came back, he stopped and switched to calligraphy practice instead.
“Are you practicing calligraphy?” Shan Qihuan had never seen his study room before, but now that he looked around, he found that the room was lacking this and that, it doesn’t even have a serious bookshelf, however, it was decorated by Shen Yuhan in a small and fresh way, a small green branch could be inserted in a vase to give the feeling of early spring.
He went over, and see what Shen Yuhan was writing, it’s fine if he didn’t look at it, after looking at it, he found that Shen Yuhan was not without learning or skills, he just never showed it in front of others.
This character is written in a grand and magnificent1大氣磅礴 (dà qì páng bó): of great momentum; grand and magnificent; describe the majestic momentum. manner, with the aura of casting all restraints aside2揮斥方逑 (huīchì fāng qiú): A sentence from Mao Zedong’s poem, Qinyuanchun·Changsha, Filled with student enthusiasm, boldly we cast all restraints aside. Pointing to our mountains and rivers, setting people afire with our words, we counted the mighty no more than muck; It refers to the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of young people., each stroke is natural, and it seems to be a work completed in one stroke3一氣呵成 (yī qì hē chéng): to do something in one go; to do something without stopping; (of writing, speech, lines in a painting, etc.) to flow smoothly and coherently; do sth without interruption; accomplish sth at one sitting..
It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t surprised, Shan Qihuan walked up to him and said: “Did you write it?”
“Ah, my writing is average, make you laugh.” Shen Yuhan put the brush on the pen rest, “Do you write?”
Shan Qihuan recovered from the shock, it was a bit unnecessary4多此一舉 (duō cǐ yī jǔ): to do more than is required (idiom); superfluous; gilding the lily; an extraneous move; a useless action; make an unnecessary move. to send Shen Yuhan to practice calligraphy, he shook his head and said: “I don’t practice much calligraphy, my writing is much worse than yours.”
“You’re being humble.” Shen Yuhan took away his writing, and spread out another piece of Xuan paper for him, “Write one and have a look?”
“All right, let you see my handwriting.” Have a bit of fun.
Shan Qihuan chose a pen from the pen holder that he thought was good to use, it’s really tidy here.
Shen Yuhan stood quietly on the side and grind the ink for him, feeling it carefully, as if he were in front of an antique5古色古香 (gǔ sè gǔ xiāng): having an ancient or antique elegance; interesting and appealing (of old locations, objects etc); old-world; crusted; old-timey; antique. calligraphy table, Shen Yuhan looked like a wife who followed the husband6夫唱婦隨 (fū chàng fù suí): lit. the man sings and the woman follows; fig. marital harmony; a wife is her husband’s echo―harmony between husband and wife; domestic harmony; conjugal harmony., and he is the ancient husband is being watched wholeheartedly, this feeling was just for a moment, so wonderful that it was indescribable.
Shen Yuhan watched Shan Qihuan finish writing a line of calligraphy, his husband was indeed not modest at all, his calligraphy was really average, maybe modern people don’t practice calligraphy very often?
But when he looked at the handwriting he wrote in the office, it looked pretty good.
Shen Yuhan laughed softly at his handwriting, Shan Qihuan stopped writing, and mocked himself: “I just said that my writing is not good.”
“It’s pretty good, it’s strong enough, you’ll be fine if you practice more, much better than the classmates who attended the class with me.” When Shen Yuhan saw his husband’s calligraphy, he suddenly became confident, it turns out that the husband, who in his eyes is extremely powerful and incomparable, also has weaknesses, he patiently comforted him, “I was very poor at writing when I was a child, and I was very tired of writing, I was often forced to practice by my family, it took me a long time to learn to have a little bit of my own style.”
He didn’t like writing when he was a child, because when writing, his hands need to be in the air all the time, he felt very tired and didn’t like to study, his brothers would always think up every possible method7想方設法 (xiǎng fāng shè fǎ): to think up every possible method (idiom); to devise ways and means; to try this, that and the other; to do everything possible; to try anything one can think of; try by hook or by crook; rack one’s brains for an idea. to get him to practice hard, either by giving him candy, or by giving him beautiful clay dolls as rewards to coax him into writing, when his father and mother saw that his calligraphy was getting better and better, so they stopped forcing him, it’s only thanks to his older brothers that he was able to have a handwriting that even the gers in the capital envied.
“It’s thanks to your family who forced you to practice at that time, although I don’t know Chinese calligraphy, your writing is really good.” He took the opportunity to mention the art exhibition to Shen Yuhan, “Shen Yuhan, there is a Chinese painting exhibition tomorrow, do you want to go and see it?”
It seems that the tickets he got for the exhibition are still useful, he will take him to see the exhibition in a low-key manner tomorrow, he would probably like it.
“I want to.” Thinking about going out to play, Shen Yuhan is happy.
In the past, in Qi Kingdom, his scope of activities was actually very small, he and his family had to be escorted when they went out to burn incense, a person never goes out alone, the world is in chaos, there are traffickers who abduct and sell gers, his family is worried about him and keeps a close eye on him, and he would not run around.
There was once a ger in boudoir who went out in the middle of the night to meet the person he likes, he originally promised his servants that he would be back in a quarter of an hour, but he never came back, the family searched for three days, and finally found his body in the moat, it was said that he was naked when he was found, which was really terrible.
After that, the big families in the city kept a very strict watch over their gers, and anyone who thought about going out would be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Shen Yuhan has always known his own position, what he should do and what he shouldn’t do.
Today’s modern society is a much safer place, where girls dare to walk on the streets at night, and are not subject to discipline.
However, for Shen Yuhan, it was unrealistic for him to go out by himself, and he dare not go to places he was not familiar with.
He dared to go to class today because the driver would pick him up when the time came, moreover, there was no danger in taking lessons in the piano classroom, there are security patrols outside, and the police station is not far away, it can be said to be quite safe.
After studying modern common sense on his own for a period of time, Shen Yuhan will look for police signs when passing by, online teaching materials say to call the police if something happens, he still pays great attention to his own safety.

After a night’s rest, Shan Qihuan regained a lot of energy, he was young, and his energy returned after enough rest.
Shen Yuhan still had a slight cough in the morning, so Shan Qihuan asked him to wrap up his scarf before going out.
The exhibition was a bit far from their home, and it happened to be ten o’clock when they arrived, which was the time when there were a lot of people there.
Ten percent of the proceeds from today’s art exhibition will be used for charity, many wealthy businessmen will buy their favorite paintings and calligraphy, next door to the art exhibition is a spice display area, which is full of antique flavor, Shen Yuhan is full of curiosity about all the new things when he walks in, except for the fact that it’s a little bit more crowded.
Shen Yuhan looked around curiously at first, but he was very reserved, and would not stare too much at others.
The exhibition is divided into two exhibition halls, after the two entered, they started to look at the exhibition hall at the entrance, there are also guides explaining next to them, other than manpower, there are also machines and text explanations.
The ones viewed in the front are paintings by modern celebrities, most of which are collected by famous artists, the ones in the back are paintings by modern painters, which are calligraphy and paintings that can be traded.
Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan watched while walking, he was really observing other people’s calligraphy and paintings carefully, and he benefited a lot, while Shan Qihuan looked at the paintings from time to time, and looked at Shen Yuhan to see if he was following.
Now he almost couldn’t remember the Shen Yuhan that was mentioned in the previous investigation materials, he couldn’t believe that they were the same people, he also come to realize how devastating the loss of a parent can be to a child, he is obviously very good, but he turned himself into that, no wonder his grandfather never gave up on him, no wonder he was so easily deceived, because his nature was simple.
If his parents were still alive, maybe Shen Yuhan would’ve been a different person, he might get into a good university, meet a group of like-minded8志同道合 (zhì tóng dào hé): lit. purposes join [along the] same path; like-minded (idiom); fellow enthusiast; kindred spirit; to have common interests and goals; be on the same wavelength as sb; cherish the same ideals and follow the same path. friends, make a boyfriend or girlfriend he likes, and finally got married and had children, and lived out his life.
And in this way, he won’t have an intersection with Shen Yuhan, for a moment, Shan Qihuan didn’t know which outcome to choose.
While Shan Qihuan was lost in thought, Shen Yuhan had already finished admiring a landscape painting from the Qing Dynasty, and had also finished looking at the paintings in this exhibition area.
They walked towards the next exhibition area.
Shen Yuhan walked closely next to Shan Qihuan, he was a little bolder now, but the light in the exhibition area was not too bright, he was afraid of losing Shan Qihuan, so he would tug on his sleeves from time to time, it seems that he can be as clingy as he wants, but there is also a battle between heaven and man9天人交戰 (tiān rén jiāo zhàn): Heaven represents heaven, which is good thoughts, and human refers to human desires, which refers to evil thoughts, so it describes people’s difficulty in making choices when faced with temptation; In the narrow sense, it means the struggle between rationality and selfish desires in one’s mind, in the broad sense, it means that it is difficult to make a decision after repeated thinking. in Shan Qihuan’s heart, he wants to keep some distance, but also hopes that Shen Yuhan will rely on him.
When they arrived at the next exhibition area, Shen Yuhan and Shan Qihuan saw a number of young people gathered in front of a painting.
A couple passing by them was also chatting.
“I saw on the Internet yesterday that there is a super cute painting in this art exhibition, let’s go and have a look.”
“Isn’t it the one with the painting of a girl and a cat, I saw it trending last night.”
“I think it’s a boy, not a girl.”
“But the original artist said it was a girl on Weibo10微博 (wēi bó): Weibo is a general term for microblogging, but normally understood as Chinese-based mini-blogging services, including social chat sites and platform sharing. Weibo services use a format similar to the American-based Twitter-service, but is used almost exclusively by Chinese language speakers. The format of specific features is not exactly identical, such as, for example, hashtags on Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, which both employ a double-hashtag “#HashName#” method, since the lack of spacing between Chinese characters necessitates a closing tag., after the painting became popular, he posted a clarification on Weibo last night.”
“Anyway, I think it looks like a boy, let’s go and take a look, I heard that the asking price is very high, if someone buys it, we won’t be able to see it.”
Shen Yuhan also wanted to take a look, he pulled Shan Qihuan’s hand: “Shall we go take a look too?”
“If you want to see it, go and see it, we’re already here, don’t worry about the time.” Shan Qihuan added, “If you like it, we can buy it.”
“Um.” Shen Yuhan nodded his head, and pulled Shan Qihuan over, although he didn’t have a hobby of collecting calligraphy and paintings, he would buy the ones that he liked and enjoy them at home.
Next part will be up soon.
