exclusive love

Chapter 80

Peng Yuzhen pulled her closer and asked in a low voice, "Xiaochi, do you really know each other? What if it's a bad guy!"

"Mom! Don't worry!"

Comforting Peng Yuzhen, Xia Xiaochi took Chu Xifan to the balcony and watched him carefully cross the balcony and return home smoothly.

In order to thank Xia Xiaochi for her help, Chu Xifan invited her to dinner. The two sat in the dining room, and the atmosphere of the conversation was very harmonious.

"Tomorrow is the weekend, do you have time? I want to invite you to visit my studio! I told you last time, it seems."

"An old classmate will return home tomorrow, and I may go to the airport to pick her up."

"Oh!" Chu Xifan looked a little disappointed.

"How about this, I'll call you after I pick up my classmates!" Xia Xiaochi suggested.

"Really? Then I'll wait for your call!" Chu Xifan regained his energy. He is an artist with a withdrawn temperament. He has never had a woman by his side. Xia Xiaochi's appearance can be said to be a coincidence or necessity.

She moved next door to his house, and the window of his bedroom was facing Xia Xiaochi's. He had seen her writing and drawing under the lamp, and also seen her sad. It can be said that he paid attention to her early in the morning.

After dinner, they went home together, and after saying good night to each other, they went back to their respective homes.

The next day, it was a sunny day, and Xia Xiaochi arrived at the airport before 9 o'clock to wait for Liu Hui's return.

In the end, in the crowd, Xia Xiaochi found Liu Hui who was wearing a red shirt and white trousers. She looked a lot different than she was three years ago, and she was full of energy, burning like a small torch.

"Meihui!"

She wanted to rush up to hug her, but Xia Xiaochi found another familiar face beside Liu Hui, which made her stop.

"Xiaochi?" Liu Hui took off her sunglasses. If she hadn't seen her name written on the sign in Xia Xiaochi's hand, she would not have dared to recognize the woman in front of her.

"Is it really you, Xia Xiaochi!" Liu Hui ran over, grabbed her, and looked at her. They have been in contact with each other by email all these years, and neither of them has seen each other's photos.

"You woman, who else would you be?"

"Oh my god, I miss you so much!" Liu Hui teased and put his arms around Xia Xiaochi, the two women hugged each other affectionately, they couldn't help but shed tears, it was really a long time since we saw each other.

After embracing, the two let go. Xia Xiaochi's gaze met Hua Wenjun's beside him. He never thought that he would come to Lujiang, let alone that he would appear with Liu Hui.

"I don't need to introduce you! Our university president! You haven't seen each other for a long time!" Liu Hui smiled and introduced Hua Wenjun's arm. Such an intimate gesture all showed that their relationship was extraordinary.

"Senior, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Xiaochi!" Hua Wenjun's smile was a little unnatural, but fortunately, this meeting was not as bad as expected.

How many years have passed, and the meeting still feels awkward, Hua Wenjun can't help but think of the scene at the beginning, Xia Xiaochi personally rejected him, and hurt him with a realistic and cruel excuse.

But later, he learned some truths he didn't know from Liu Hui, and he knew Xia Xiaochi's difficulties at that time, so he had already chosen to forgive. The only pity is that the person who can accompany her to watch the sunrise and sunset will eventually be It can't be him.

The process of welcoming Liu Hui back to China went smoothly, the only change was Hua Wenjun's sudden appearance. After she and Liu Hui sent Hua Wenjun to the hotel, they went directly to Liu's house.

Accompanying Liu Hui home all the way, went to the grave to pay homage to her sister-in-law, and finally turned around and the two found a quiet cafe to chat.

Xia Xiaochi learned from Liu Hui that the two of them are now dating for more than a year.

Their beginning probably dates back to two years ago. At that time, after Hua Wenjun was rejected by Xia Xiaochi, he suffered a big blow. After finishing the training program of Shanhai Group, he went abroad through a cooperation project of the company.

It was also abroad that he and Liu Hui met unexpectedly. They were both descended from Tianya and also had a relationship with alumni, so the two had an intersection.

"That's great!" Xia Xiaochi listened to Liu Hui's story about her and Hua Wenjun, and sincerely wished her best. Xia Xiaochi felt very relieved to see the most unlucky person falling in love with her best friend.

"What about you? Xiaochi, after all these years, how are you doing?"

Xia Xiaochi's few words in the email are all about describing the scenery, environment and customs. She seldom mentions herself to Liu Hui.

"Me? I'm fine..."

"What about you, I heard my elder brother talk about it, and I know everything!" Liu Hui blinked.

"Nothing can be hidden from you!"

"Tell me, what do you want, wrap it on me!" Liu Hui fell in love by herself, surrounded by happiness and sweetness, and hoped that Xia Xiaochi would find her own destination soon.

"I haven't thought about it that much for now!" Xia Xiaochi has indeed reached an embarrassing age. She herself is not in a hurry for life-long events, but she is anxious for a lot of people.

"Can't you forget that bastard!" Liu Hui was referring to Li Liancheng. She didn't know the real reason why Xia Xiaochi broke up with him, but as long as there was a breakup, she paranoidly interpreted it as Li Liancheng failing Xia Xiaochi.

Xia Xiaochi didn't answer. She looked out the window and landed on a cluster of lavender cineraria in full bloom. What she thought in her heart was, who knows if the man who abandoned everything has returned home?

In the afternoon, after parting ways with Liu Hui, Xia Xiaochi remembered the agreement with Chu Xifan and contacted him.

Driving to Changming Road, Lujiang City, Chu Xifan had been waiting for her by the side of the road.

"I'm still worried that you've forgotten!" The sunny boy's smile was so warm that Xia Xiaochi almost instantly remembered a man who had treated her so warmly on the terrace of Jinsheng Garden on a certain afternoon many years ago. smile.

"how could be?"

Go upstairs with him and come to a studio on the third floor called "Xi Fan Studio".

Pushing the door open, you can see a variety of landscape oil paintings, and then go inside, there is a classroom, in which several young boys and girls are studying painting attentively.

This is Chu Xifan's personal studio. He is the art teacher here, teaching a group of children who love painting.

The innermost one is the place where Chu Xifan made his own creations. There are many semi-finished products lined up inside, and several finished works are covered with cloth, so the content cannot be seen.

The moment Xia Xiaochi walked into the studio, Chu Xifan's naughty elementary school students started chattering non-stop.

"Ms. Chu, your girlfriend is here!"

"Teacher Chu, the teacher's wife is so beautiful!"

"Teacher Chu..."

"Draw your paintings, don't talk nonsense! The teacher will be angry!" Chu Xifan deliberately put on a straight face, scaring the students to obediently paint.

"Don't mind, the kids are just joking around!" Chu Xifan explained to Xia Xiaochi.

"It's okay, did you draw all these works?" Xia Xiaochi didn't care at all, her attention was all on the paintings on the wall.

"These are all! Among them, the signed ones are the works of my students!" Chu Xifan introduced.

"Your paintings are awesome! You can go to the art exhibition!" Xia Xiaochi said.

"It has always been my ideal to hold an art exhibition, but at present, I have not been able to realize it!"

"why?"

"There are many reasons, such as funds, connections, and so on."

If it is a problem of funds, this problem is easy to solve, but the difficult problem is that there are so many people who paint, and there are many good ones. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you really need opportunities and strength.

"Do you sell your paintings?" Xia Xiaochi understood that painters can only earn income by selling their works, and she wanted to see if she could help him.

"For sale, but unfortunately no one bought it!"

"I want to buy."

"You?" Chu Xifan said in surprise.

"Yes, I can buy a few landscape paintings and go back to decorate my company!" Xia Xiaochi saw him stunned, and added: "In addition, I also ask you to help me paint a few more, the price is up to you!"

Xia Xiaochi was not blindly showing kindness, but considering that he saved her life last time, this time she just happened to be able to repay his favor.

"What do you want me to draw for you? A portrait?" Chu Xifan was a little excited. He had been creating in obscurity for so long, and finally someone recognized his paintings with discerning eyes.

"No. Draw me a picture of Zifangcao." Xia Xiaochi's company was named Zifangcao. It would be more appropriate if there was a pair of Zifangcao in her office.

In addition, she also wants him to draw a few different types of plants to match the various masks of their company. She already has a good idea. For the new packaging of this year's products, she can try the plant oil painting style. Being able to help Chu Xifan promote and promote it will kill two birds with one stone.

"Okay! I will paint until you are satisfied. In order to thank you for your support, I will give you a painting!" Chu Xifan turned around and pulled back the cloth on the flower stand. A portrait of a woman quietly appear before your eyes.

"This is..." Xia Xiaochi's eyes widened in shock.

"Does it look familiar? Is it like I drew?"

"It's me! It's very similar! When did you paint me?" Xia Xiaochi saw herself in the oil painting, which was the corner of the window in her room. There is a pot of purple grass with charming lavender flowers.

He portrayed her so delicately and beautifully, which is completely different from his other landscape paintings. It can be seen that he took her very seriously and remembered her in his heart.

"This is my first time drawing a figure. I have been drawing for half a year, and I finally finished it recently!"

"Half a year?" With the concept of half a year, Xia Xiaochi can understand that he should have noticed her half a year ago!
"Well, I knew you half a year ago, but it's a pity that you never noticed my neighbor at that time!" Chu Xifan pretended to be angry, but his eyes were as gentle as water, full of another kind of burning deep meaning.

"Sorry!" Xia Xiaochi looked away, her cheeks flushed red as he watched, as if she had understood what he meant.

"I'm sorry, but if you can invite me, a poor painter, to dinner tomorrow night, I will forgive you for ignoring me!" He said with a ghostly smile.

"Okay then!" Chu Xifan's invitations are always difficult for you to refuse, and you still feel that you must go.

"Drink some water first!" Chu Xifan poured water for her, asked her to sit down, and then asked: "What kind of Zifang grass do you want, can you briefly describe to me what you want? ?”

"Let me show you the pictures, one is my favorite!" Xia Xiaochi clicked on the "pictures" in the phone and showed him pictures of Zifangcao.

"Show me!" Chu Xifan took the phone, sliding the pictures too fast with his finger, and accidentally clicked on a photo. It was a photo of Xia Xiaochi and a man. The man was very handsome...

"Who is this man? Your boyfriend?" With his first impression, Chu Xifan felt "threatened". There was a handsome man who was so close to Xia Xiaochi in her photo album, and he So far, the relationship with her is still in the category of friends, can it not make people anxious?
