Chapter 031 Stay away from the haze
- he relies on you.
The barber's words echoed in Wei Chen's ears again, and Wei Chen's cold eyes slowly turned into gentle, like water, soaked with a faint smile. However, he did not answer the barber's question. He just focused his gaze on Chen Li, who was sitting quietly aside.
Chen Li was now trapped in his own world again. His eyes were dull and his expression was dull. He didn't know what his world was like and whether it was so beautiful that he was so addicted to it. Wei Chen wanted to enter Chen Li's world more than once to see what attracted Chen Li and made him reluctant to come out.
Chen Li seemed to feel Wei Chen's gaze, so he turned to stare at Wei Chen without any fluctuation in his eyes, but Wei Chen knew that Chen Li was urging him to leave.
Taking the card handed over by the barber, Wei Chen stretched out his hand towards Chen Li and said: "Li Li, let's go and visit the calligraphy and painting shop to see what you need." After saying this, Wei Chen could clearly feel Chen Li's affection. As soon as the light came on, he sat up from the chair. Only when painting was mentioned, Chen Li was willing to briefly withdraw himself from that world.
Wei Chen walked over and took Chen Li's hand. Chen Li stared at Wei Chen and urged silently.
Wei Chen couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Chen Li's hair. It was just the right length, soft and not thorny.
...
Today is Saturday, and even though the sunshine above his head is extremely harsh, there are still people coming and going in a certain city square in the Magic City. Wei Chen also has the intention to train Chen Li and want Chen Li to interact with the crowd more. Then he took Chen Li to this bustling city square.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the barber shop, Chen Li shrank into Wei Chen's arms. He looked down at his toes and was completely led by Wei Chen to take a few steps.
Wei Chen was also patient. He held Chen Li's hand and searched for a calligraphy and painting shop in the huge city square. Although he wanted to train Chen Li, he couldn't bear to force Chen Li to face him immediately. For Chen Li, it was equivalent to The crowd of fierce ghosts faintly surrounded Chen Li in their arms, building a safe space for Chen Li.
As You Like It is a calligraphy and painting shop in this city square. This calligraphy and painting shop is not far from the barber shop just now. You can reach it just around the corner when you go out. Of course, Wei Chen was not very familiar with this kind of painting. When he saw the calligraphy and painting shop, he took Chen Li and walked in.
As soon as I entered the calligraphy and painting store, there was a blast of cold air. The heat was blocked by the closed glass door, and I felt refreshed. This glass door not only blocked the heat of the outside world, but also blocked the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
With shelves made of mahogany, a dazzling array of calligraphy and painting materials, and beautiful classical music flowing gently in the cold air, this quiet and peaceful calligraphy and painting shop can be said to be an alien existence from the city square.
There are not many customers in the shop, they are in twos and threes, some are carefully appreciating the various paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, and some are selecting materials, but they are all talking softly and consciously not to damage the atmosphere in the shop. Quiet, as if saying a word loudly is a sin.
Wei Chen led Chen Li into the store. When he touched the products in the store, Chen Li's eyes were glued to them, and he felt a little hot.
"You can choose it yourself." Wei Chen whispered in Chen Li's ear, and slowly let go of Chen Li's hand. In this world that Chen Li likes, he should let Chen Li travel by himself. .
Chen Li noticed that Wei Chen was gradually loosening his hand. His gaze, which had been focused on various materials just now, immediately fell on Wei Chen. His eyes were full of uncertainty, and he even grabbed Wei Chen's hand eagerly. , taking the initiative to hold Wei Chen's hand tightly for the first time.
There was obviously enough air conditioning in the store, but Wei Chen felt that Chen Li's hand holding his was hot. The phlegm started from his fingertips and filled his body along with the blood, making his eyes slightly warm. , something was about to come out of his mouth, but after he rolled it around in his mouth, Wei Chen swallowed it. He stretched out his other hand and gently rubbed Chen Li's hair, saying: "It's okay, I'll stay with you. You can go and see by yourself. I'll be here watching you. You can see me when you turn around." ."
Chen Li looked at Wei Chen without any reaction, but Wei Chen felt the hesitation in Chen Li's eyes. After all, it was no match for his soft heart. Wei Chen held Chen Li's hand and said softly: "Okay, I'll accompany you. Let's go and see."
After receiving Wei Chen's promise, Chen Li slowly relaxed his hand and pulled Wei Chen towards the store.
Wei Chen looked at Chen Li's back, feeling helpless and heartbroken at the same time. Although he couldn't wait any longer, his lack of security kept him from moving forward.
...
Chen Li did not go to the painting materials section. In fact, what attracted him was the paintings on the wall. After being surrounded by Chen Li, Wei Chen realized that the paintings hanging on the walls in this store were not copies of famous classical artists. Instead, they are all original works. Each painting has the author's signature in the lower corner, and each one is different. Wei Chen was not familiar with people in the calligraphy and painting world, otherwise he would have discovered that the signatories of these paintings were all contemporary celebrities in the calligraphy and painting world. Any painting put on the market would cause competition among collectors. .
Chen Li naturally did not know the identities of these people, but this did not affect his appreciation of these paintings. These paintings had great appeal to Chen Li. Chen Li's eyes were glued to the paintings on the wall. It was as if he had forgotten everything around him.
Chen Li admired the paintings on the wall, but he didn't know that Wei Chen was admiring his expression as he looked at the paintings.
This was the first time that Wei Chen saw such a vivid expression on Chen Li's face. The expression was no longer dull, every muscle on his face was jumping, and the light in his eyes was flowing. All the emotions that had never appeared in Chen Li's eyes. This moment bursts into the eyes, as if feeling the emotion that the owner of the painting wanted to express.
Wei Chen didn't know what this meant, but at this moment he felt that he loved the changing emotions on Chen Li's face. This was Chen Li, a Chen Li who knew the seven emotions and six desires, and a Chen Li who understood joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
...
Zhuge Yu is one of the bosses of Whatever You Want. He recently had an exchange meeting at the Art Academy in Shanghai. He just finished the meeting and decided to take a look at What You Want. As soon as he opened the store door, Zhuge Yu saw the young man he saw in the hospital park that day.
The young man looks much healthier than before. Although he is still thin and frail, at least his face is rosy now, not as painfully pale as before.
The clerk saw Zhuge Yu coming in and was about to say hello to Zhuge Yu. Zhuge Yu waved to the clerk, telling the clerk to keep quiet, and then walked in the direction of Chen Li and Wei Chen.
Chen Li was obsessed with the paintings on the wall and did not know that Zhuge Yu was approaching. Wei Chen noticed Zhuge Yu immediately and greeted Zhuge Yu softly with a paralyzed face, "Mr. Zhuge." Zhuge Yu said to Zhuge Yu
. Wei Chen nodded, but his eyes fell on Chen Li, observing Chen Li's expression openly.
Coincidentally, the painting Chen Li is looking at now called "Setting Sun" was painted by Zhuge Yu.
In the painting, the setting sun spreads out like blood. A blood-red sun has already set on the mountainside. There seems to be a little blackness in the distance, letting people know that the night is coming.
When Wei Chen saw this painting, the poem "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk." appeared in his mind unconsciously. When hearing this verse, he couldn't help but sigh.
And this is what most people think that "The Setting Sun" wants to express.
When Zhuge Yu was observing Chen Li, Chen Li suddenly shed tears. Wei Chen, who was the first to notice that Chen Li was crying, became a little anxious. He took Chen Li's hand and asked eagerly: "What's wrong? Is it right?" Are your eyes uncomfortable after looking at the painting for a long time?"
Chen Li did not respond, his eyes still fell on "The Setting Sun", the tears flowed more and more fiercely, and the sadness in his eyes seemed to overflow in the next moment.
Chen Li's sudden crying made Wei Chen a little at a loss, but he did not forget to gently wipe the tears from Chen Li's face, and his heart was full of worry.
"Don't worry." Zhuge Yu said, "He was just infected by the emotion of the painting." Zhuge Yu's face was calm, but he couldn't help being shocked in his heart. While others thought that the painting "Setting Sun" was his lament for the passage of time by the elderly, only the thin young man in front of him could see the sadness buried deep in his heart.
This painting was completed at a time when his wife passed away. The so-called setting sun is a reflection of his state of mind at that time.
The departure of his wife is an extremely sad thing for him. It is almost dusk, can it be far from the night? She took away all the light in his life, and the night would soon fall, but he was full of sorrow, but he was willing to indulge in the night.
Zhuge Yu didn't know how Chen Li could see the deep emotions in his painting, but Zhuge Yu was sure that this young man had very sensitive nerves and he could capture the deepest emotions in the painting.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu's eyes couldn't help but brighten a little. He thought of the young man's paintings he saw at the door of the hospital that day. If the young man could use these emotions in his paintings, then the young man's paintings would surely shock the entire world of calligraphy and painting. !
Thinking like this, Zhuge Yu looked at Chen Li with a heated gaze. It happened that Chen Li had just come back to his senses from "The Setting Sun" and suddenly found a person looking at him like this. Even a normal person would be shocked, let alone Chen Li. This autistic person. Chen Li's reaction was more direct. He was so scared that he immediately shrank into Wei Chen's arms, lowered his head and looked at his toes, and shrank his whole body.
Wei Chen hugged Chen Li, stroked Chen Li's back, and comforted Chen Li, but looked at Zhuge Yu coldly.
Zhuge Yu raised his hand innocently and took a few steps back. He was sure that this young man suffered from a mental illness.
After Zhuge Yu pushed him to a safe distance, Wei Chen comforted Chen Li and led Chen Li to continue looking at the paintings.
Zhuge Yu did not step forward to disturb him, and observed Chen Li's expression from a distance, and finally became more certain of his conclusion - this young man's perception ability is really very strong!
...
Time flew by and the sun set in a blink of an eye. Chen Li still wanted to continue reading. Wei Chen took care of Chen Li's health and coaxed Chen Li to buy painting materials.
Chen Li listened to Wei Chen's words very much. After hearing Wei Chen say that he would continue to bring him here tomorrow, he obediently let Wei Chen lead him to the shelves to select materials. Chen Li really liked painting, as if he wanted to try all types of paintings. When he came to one, he stood still and looked at Wei Chen without saying anything.
"Okay, let's buy this." Wei Chen said gently.
After walking a few steps, Chen Li stood still and looked at Wei Chen.
"Okay." Wei Chen nodded.
After walking a few more steps, Chen Li stood still again, staring at Wei Chen with big eyes.
"No problem."
...
In this way, when Wei Chen and Chen Li went to check out, the painting materials in the store were almost of the same type.
The materials used for whatever you want are all of the best, and the price is naturally not cheap. But when Wei Chen went to check out, he handed over the card in his hand without blinking.
The cashier did not take the card from Wei Chen's hand, and only said: "Hello sir, our boss said that the gentleman can just take away whatever he likes. It can be regarded as an apology gift for disturbing the gentleman just now. "
Wei Chen took back the bank card with an expressionless face and said, "I'll say thank you to your boss later." The
clerk handed over the packed materials, "Okay, sir, please go slowly. Welcome to visit us next time."
Wei Chen As a result, the material held Chen Li's hand and did whatever he wanted.
Although he had asked the clerk to thank him on his behalf, after Wei Chen got in the car, he found the business card Zhuge Yu had given him that day and sent a text message to the mobile phone number on it.
It didn't take long for Zhuge Yu to reply - [I was the one who caused the disturbance in the first place. I would like to thank you for not pursuing the matter. I hope you can protect that gentleman and keep him away from the haze. 】Zhuge Yu, as a world-famous painter in the contemporary world, naturally has extraordinary eyesight. After seeing Chen Li's painting in the hospital that day, he could see Chen Li's state of mind from the painting. When he mentions it now, it is also caused by his cherishment of talent. Feeling distressed.
Wei Chen didn't reply. When he put away his phone, he glanced at Chen Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat in a daze, with a soft smile in his eyes.
I don’t know if I am the sunshine of his world, but I will do my best to drive away the darkness that surrounds him.
...
After leaving the city square, Wei Chen drove Chen Li to a quiet restaurant. He didn't know what Chen Li liked to eat, so he ordered a few light but nutritious dishes on his own initiative.
Chen Li is not a picky eater, or it can be said that compared with what Chen Li ate before, no matter how light Wei Chen's food is now, it is all delicacies to him, so knowing that Wei Chen will be next to him, Chen Li calmly dealt with the food in front of him. Although he was not eating in a hurry, the food was reduced very quickly, and in the end there was not a single bit left.
After dinner, Chen Li still had a sluggish look on his face. Wei Chen took him to check out to prevent Chen Li from eating too much just now, so he took him walking on the road for half an hour to eat, and then Take Chen Li to meet the Wei family.
Wei Chen never expected that when he returned to the Wei family this time, there would be a few more people in the house that he didn't want to see.
Chapter 032: That Fool
The night was getting darker, and the heat of the day slowly dissipated with the night wind.
The night breeze is slightly cool and the moonlight is just right.
After Wei Chen parked the car, he led Chen Li out of the car. There was a cobblestone path from the garage to the house. The flowers on both sides of the path were in full bloom. The fragrance of the flowers lingered on the tip of his nose, which was indescribably pleasant.
Wei Chen held the painting materials he bought today in one hand and held Chen Li in the other, walking leisurely on the cobblestone path.
The lights in the main house of the Wei family were bright. As soon as Wei Chen opened the door, he heard laughter coming from the living room. The familiar laughter fell into Wei Chen's ears, but the smile in Wei Chen's eyes slowly sank.
"Master, you are back." When the servant saw Wei Chen and Chen Li coming in, he immediately went up to them and wanted to take the bag from Wei Chen's hand.
Wei Chen handed the bag to the servant and asked the servant to put it in his room. Then he led Chen Li to the living room and said to the father who was sitting on the sofa: "Father, mother." People in the living
room Finally discovering Wei Chen's presence, the smile on his face immediately dropped. The man sitting on the sofa glanced at Wei Chen without saying a word.
The woman sitting next to the man didn't even raise her head and was concentrating on talking to a child.
This couple is Wei Chen's parents, Wei Zhenxiong and Fang Yun, and the child playing on the ground is also Wei Chen's fifteen-year-old brother, nine-year-old Wei Wei.
Wei Chen didn't want to say anything to them. After saying hello, he took Chen Li back upstairs with a slumped face. There was not even a polite word between the family.
Just when Wei Chen was leading Chen Li to go upstairs, a small rubber ball hit Chen Li's back accurately. The ball was very inflated and hit Chen Li with a loud "bang!" Just hearing this sound hurts.
However, the culprit didn't feel any guilt at all. He threw himself into Fang Yun's arms with a giggle and said hahaha to Chen Li: "Hey, that fool, throw the ball over quickly."
Chen Li naturally didn't react and was hit by the ball. It hit him, but he just flinched. Wei Chen felt distressed and wished he could take off Chen Li's clothes to check the condition of Chen Li's skin on his back. Now he heard Wei Weiyi's bossy words and became even more angry.
"Idiot, did you hear me telling you to throw the ball over?" Wei Wei shouted again when he saw Chen Li didn't respond.
"You want the ball, right?" Wei Chen stepped on the ball under his feet, turned around and looked at Wei Wei coldly, and asked somewhat gloomily.
Wei Wei instinctively shrank, and then thought about his parents being by his side. He suddenly felt emboldened, and made a face at Wei Chen, "I asked the fools around you to throw it, but I didn't ask you to throw it, so shut up." !" After saying that, he puffed out his chest and looked proud.
Wei Chen stopped talking and coaxed Chen Li to stand on the stairs, picked up the ball with his foot, glanced at Wei Wei gloomily, and with a twitch of his foot, the ball was pulled out in a parabola and flew away in the direction of Wei Wei.
"Ah!!!"
Wei Chen's movement was so sudden that Wei Wei even forgot to dodge, and his instinctive fear made him scream. Wei Chen's parents didn't have time to react and just watched the ball hit Wei Wei.
When Wei Chen was in high school and college, he was on the school football team, and even the professional leagues had offered him an olive branch. This uncontrollable kick made the ball move very fast. Even if Wei Chen's parents reacted now, it would be too late to stop them, not to mention that both of them were a little dazed now.
Fortunately, Wei Chen didn't really want to hurt Wei Wei. The ball flew past Wei Wei's face, causing no real damage except a strong wind. However, a vase in the corner of the living room was hit by the ball and broke into pieces with a sound.
Wei Wei couldn't bear the fright and cried, out of breath, which made Fang Yun feel distressed and gave Wei Chen a fierce look. Wei Zhenxiong even stood up from the sofa and said to Wei Chen with a cold face: "Wei Chen, come here and apologize to your brother!"
"Apologise?"
Wei Chen sneered: "No one taught him what respect is. I am the older brother. Don’t you have the right to teach anymore?”
