Chapter 28 – Rose

 

Uncle Quan tidied up the remaining things in the study and left. When he left, he went to tell Fu Yanchuan.

 

“Sir, you haven’t been home for many days. The chairman has been in a bad mood recently. You should go home when you have time. Father and son should not stop interacting with each other.”

 

Fu Yanchuan stood silent. After Uncle Quan left, he went to have dinner with Qi Xi as usual. Qi Xi couldn’t control himself recently. He always found reasons to talk to him during meals. This was the rule he had been asked to follow since he was a child. Being broken like this, he felt that nothing was unchangeable.

 

Qi Xi has always been thinking about his own studio. When he was at his father’s house, Qi Zhounan had his own small study room where he could put his equestrian equipment and toys and do his homework. However, he only had a small bay window. He was very envious back then.

 

Qi Zhounan would ask him to join him at first, saying that they could share the room, but it didn’t take long for his father to say that his presence there would affect Qi Zhounan’s study and not let him go.

 

At that time, he often thought that when he grew up, he would buy a big house, dedicate one room to painting, another room to store his paintings, and another room to play with the great sage.

 

Although it was still a little different from what he thought, he was really happy that Fu Yanchuan was willing to give him half of the study room to paint.

 

After eating, he immediately went to his half of the studio and began to inspect every corner, considering what should be placed in which place and what use it would be.

 

He was thinking about how to show that he was rich. And he then remembered that he was rich. He couldn’t help laughing, and finally rolled on the sofa with laughter.

 

The orange cat followed Qi Xi and saw him twisting and turning like a big caterpillar. Thinking that he was about to die, he jumped on the sofa and slapped his forehead with his paw, and screamed anxiously.

 

“Meow–“

 

Qi Xi immediately took the orange cat over and twisted with him. While twisting, he said, “Great Sage, are you happy too? You also have a big villa, and I have a place to paint. Is Brother Yan the best person in the world?”

 

“Meow!”

 

The orange cat didn’t want to twist anymore and struggled out of his arms, but was immediately pulled back.

 

Qi Xi hugged it and said to him seriously: “I really hope I can be Brother Yan’s substitute for the rest of my life!”

 

Fu Yanchuan walked to the door and happened to hear Qi Xi’s words. He stood there and did not go in until Qi Xi discovered him.

 

“Brother Yan!”

 

Qi Xi jumped up from the sofa, pulled Fu Yanchuan in and sat down on the sofa. He then stood in front of him and asked seriously: “What gift do you want?”

 

Fu Yanchuan leaned slightly on the sofa and stretched his long legs forward. Qi Xi stood between his legs, a very possessive posture.

 

He looked up without saying anything, and Qi Xi continued: “If you hadn’t taken me to Brother Zha, I would never have become so rich in my life! I don’t know how to thank you, so what gift do you want?”

 

“You don’t need to give me anything.”

 

After being rejected, Qi Xi deflated like a balloon. He wrinkled his face and worried for a long time. He then suddenly asked: “Then do you want money? Can I give you half?”

 

“Give me half?”

 

“Is it missing? But——”

 

Qi Xi didn’t say anything, but his face seemed to show the word “reluctance”.

 

Fu Yanchuan looked a little funny and a little shocked when he saw this generous but reluctant look. Hundreds of thousands were not much money to him, but they were half of Qi Xi’s total. He did not expect to be so happy to get the money. Qi Xi would be willing to share half of it with him.

 

Qi Xi thought for a moment and explained to him, “If I give you half and I share it with Xie Hui, I will have no money again.”

 

“You still want to share it with Xie Hui?”

 

Fu Yanchuan couldn’t help but his voice deepened, and Qi Xi nodded and said, “Xie Hui used to buy me food, paint, and cat food for the Great Sage. But he didn’t have much money himself. His parents were having a hard time making money as a breakfast shop owner, so he worked hard to earn money to buy for me. He finally went abroad to study in college, and I didn’t dare to tell him that I made money by painting, otherwise he would definitely give me the money he finally earned for himself. “

 

Fu Yanchuan remained silent and motionless. What Qi Xi said was completely opposite to his concept of money. In his understanding, money is capital and a tool. When he got the funds, the only thing he considered was how to use them and obtain them. Greater benefit, not giving to others for any reason.

 

After staring at Qi Xi for a long time, he suddenly grabbed Qi Xi’s wrist and said, “You don’t have to give it to me. If you want to thank me, you can consider other ways of thanking me.”

 

“What other things? What do you want?”

 

“Think for yourself.”

 

Qi Xi couldn’t change his mind. He thought it would be better if Fu Yanchuan just told him. Why should he think about it by himself?

 

When he started to think, he felt confused and rushed directly to the sofa. In the end, he didn’t notice Fu Yanchuan’s legs, and he tripped and fell on Fu Yanchuan’s legs. He turned to look at Fu Yanchuan and laughed twice. Hethen quickly crawled over Fu Yanchuan’s legs and sat next to Fu Yanchuan as if nothing happened.

 

Fu Yanchuan put his hand on the spot on his leg that had just been touched, turned around, and called out, “Qi Xi.”

 

“Um?”

 

Qi Xi stared at the phone absentmindedly. He glanced at the screen of the phone out of the corner of his eye. Qi Xi was very good at thinking of a solution and immediately asked someone online.

 

[How to express gratitude to a wonderful person? He didn’t want money or gifts. He said he wanted me to use other ways to thank him. He also asked me to think about it myself. Why didn’t he tell me directly?]

 

Fu Yanchuan pretended not to see it and asked him, “Have you considered how to develop in the future?”

 

“Develop what?”

 

Qi Xi realized that Fu Yanchuan could see his phone, so he quickly put it away and turned to face Fu Yanchuan.

 

“In terms of painting, do you want to publicize your work?”

 

Qi Xi still didn’t understand, so he continued: “The YI station account cannot be used by you for the time being. You can wait for a few months or register a new one.”

 

“It’s so troublesome to get on that website. Can I register an account in China? Anyway, I can’t understand what foreigners say.”

 

Qi Xi suddenly became depressed again when he said this, “But what if I really post the painting and others see it and say that my painting is ugly?”

 

Fu Yanchuan realized that Qi Xi was still affected by Brother Zha’s words. Qi Xi could act like he didn’t take it seriously when talking about it, but subconsciously he still had doubts about himself.

 

“Qi Xi.”

 

Fu Yanchuan cautiously called Qi Xi’s name and told him, “Your paintings are the most shocking I have ever seen. There is a tension that seems to penetrate the heart of the viewer. It is special and unique. Maybe some people won’t like it, but art is not meant for everyone to like, but for people who understand you and your paintings to appreciate it. So you don’t have to worry about people who say you are bad, but trust people who can understand you.”

 

Qi Xi looked at Fu Yanchuan and stood still. No one had ever praised him like this before. Only people said he was stupid, said he was incompetent, and said he had no self-awareness. Fu Yanchuan’s words were hitting his heart, making his heart beat faster. In fact somewhere in his heart was shaking uncontrollably.

 

He cried unconsciously with tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes as he asked Fu Yanchuan: “Do you really think my painting is that good?”

 

“Yes, Qi Xi.”

 

Fu Yanchuan reached out and wiped the tears from the corner of Qi Xi’s eyes and then said, “You should laugh at this time.”

 

Qi Xi immediately cried harder and rushed to hug Fu Yanchuan, rolling new tears into the crook of his neck. He pulled himself tightly into Fu Yanchuan’s arms, “Brother Yan, why are you so good to me?!”

 

Fu Yanchuan hooked his waist and pulled him over. Qi Xi was caught off guard and sat on Fu Yanchuan’s lap. Suddenly he remembered when they were crowded in the car. He subconsciously bowed his back and didn’t dare to get too close. He hung his hands on Fu Yanchuan’s lap and said against his neck: “Brother Yan, what are the rules? No hugging is allowed in your home.”

 

Fu Yanchuan smiled at Qi Xi’s proud look and then said to him, “It was you who broke the rules in the first place.”

 

“You set the rules, how can you not take the lead? Breaking the rules yourself.”

 

“Then tell me and let me go.”

 

What Fu Yanchuan did was to tighten his hold around Qi Xi’s waist, making it impossible to move even if he thought about it.

 

However, Qi Xi cooperated with him very much and suddenly came over and said: “I don’t want these rules anymore, okay? I want to hug you.”

 

“Yeah.” He whispered back, and Qi Xi’s hand immediately slid down from his chest and slid against his abdomen, “I still want to touch your abdominal muscles, is that okay?”

 

The winter home clothes were a bit thick, and he could only feel Qi Xi’s hands there through the fabric. His movements were stagnant for a moment, and then he suddenly let go of Qi Xi and pushed him back to the sofa, “Go and draw.”

 

Qi Xi said reluctantly: “Then when will we go swimming?”

 

Fu Yanchuan asked him, “When do you want it?”

 

“Tomorrow?”

 

Fu Yanchuan thought for two seconds and said, “Go and paint.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know whether Fu Yanchuan meant to agree or disagree. He jumped off the sofa and took two steps. He then suddenly went back to Fu Yanchuan and said, “Where is my mobile phone?”

 

After he finished speaking, he pretended to look for his cell phone, and when he found it, he touched Fu Yanchuan’s body. Fu Yanchuan grabbed his hand and came closer to him.

 

The hot breath hit his face, and he couldn’t help but feel his chest rise and fall, thinking that Fu Yanchuan was about to kiss him again.

 

But at such a close distance, Fu Yanchuan took out his cell phone from his pocket, put it in his hand, and told him solemnly, “I found it.”

 

“Oh. I’ll go paint then.”

 

He took his hand out of Fu Yanchuan’s palm and finally went to the other side of the sofa obediently.

 

Fu Yanchuan looked at Qi Xi for a moment, then got up and went to his side. The warm lights shone down, and Qi Xi concentrated on painting. He was working on the computer with only the orange cat patrolling back and forth on both sides as if they had always been like this. Quiet and harmonious.

 

Qi Xi only had one class the next day. Fu Yanchuan did not call him. He just told the nanny to wake Qi Xi up for breakfast later.

 

After breakfast, Fu Yanchuan left Driver Yan and the car for his own use.

 

He asked the driver to take him to an art supply market and spent a lot of money to buy a whole trunk of paint and drawing paper. After taking it back, his cabinet was almost full.

 

“Great Sage, does this mean you can tell at a glance that I am rich?”

 

Qi Xi showed off to the orange cat scratching his beard next to him. After he finished, he immediately took photos from various angles and registered a new account on V-Bo.

 

He always used the signature “July 7th” in his paintings. He was afraid of being discovered by his hobby website account, so he changed his online name to “Qixi Xixi Xixi”. The reason for so many xi was that one of his names was missing. Everyone has used it.

 

When registering a new account, he thought about what Fu Yanchuan had said to him last night, and plucked up the courage to directly use “July 7th”. The first post he sent was to show off his wealth, which he had spent tens of thousands on pigment.

 

[There are so many paints that I can finish painting! ! [link=”c8ce41f3-cd22-4c97-8fe7-e5a0be21ecb5”][link=”b3a50046-858c-4911-8666-00953d32a0ee”][link=”4cab9e0e-4a7b-4e11-83bd-78ed95735f15”][link=” 3d58ef4f -b4df-4a79-b923-700926718df0”]

 

There were no clicks when the new account was sent out. He waited for a long time and no one came to envy him, so he sent it to his good friends, including Fu Yanchuan, Xie Hui, and Qiu Yizhou.

 

It was still midnight at Xie Hui’s place, so he ignored him.

 

Qiu Yizhou was Qi Xi’s friend secretly. When he received Qi Xi’s show of wealth, he thought for a long time to understand what Qi Xi wanted him to say, but he still responded with a fierce expression.

 

Fu Yanchuan was processing documents. When his cell phone rang, he ignored it. After more than ten minutes, he suddenly picked up the phone and saw the message from Qi Xi.

 

He didn’t pay attention to how Qi Xi showed off his wealth. He clicked the table with his fingertips and called Zhou Zhiwei in.

 

“Does our group have any projects that we need to request drawings for? Branch offices can do that too.”

 

Zhou Zhiwei didn’t understand why Fu Yanchuan suddenly cared about such a trivial matter. She went through the group’s projects in her mind and said: “The hotel’s business promotion or commercial activities, as well as the brand packaging of some branch products will be needed, but this is usually outsourced to marketing companies.”

 

“Compile a list of projects that are in demand recently then search for this artist’s paintings, find out which project is most suitable, and give me the final result.”

 

“OK.”

 

Zhou Zhiwei returned to her seat and saw several works sent by Fu Yanchuan and the V-Bo account registered by Qi Xi.

 

She did not major in art. She only knew about paintings such as Van Gogh and Monet, and she was completely aware of the modern art world. Looking at the painting on the screen, she couldn’t tell whether it was good or not. She just felt that the colors were so rich and dazzling.

 

The colleague next to him suddenly came over and asked, “Is this a painting by the Master of Chinese Valentine’s Day? When did you pay attention to this?”

 

Zhou Zhiwei looked at her colleague, “Do you know him? Mr. Fu asked me to find a project and go to him to make an appointment?”

 

A colleague is a fandom fan and is familiar with many popular paintings on the YI website. She took a deep breath when she heard Zhou Zhiwei’s words, “This great master’s painting style is quite unique. Those who like it like it very much, but those who don’t like it will find it strange because it is too dazzling. How could Mr. Fu notice such a painter on the Internet and ask him to make an appointment? “

 

Zhou Zhiwei also wanted to know and guessed: Maybe it’s someone he knows? ?

 

“But is Mr. Fu always the kind of person who would waste time paying attention to such trivial matters for the sake of someone he knows?”

 

Zhou Zhiwei felt that it was obviously not the case, so she was curious about who this “July 7th” was.

 

Qi Xi didn’t know what Fu Yanchuan was doing. He finally found a way to thank Fu Yanchuan from netizens. After class, he rushed to the downstairs of Chuanrong Building to wait for Fu Yanchuan.

 

Fu Yanchuan remembered that after he got off work, it was already dark, and all the people in the secretary’s office had left his office. He always walked directly to the garage, and two people came up on the way to the elevator. They didn’t recognize him and talked in low voices.

 

“Do you think the handsome guy downstairs is still there?”

 

“Let’s go, he’s been waiting for two hours.”

 

“How can anyone bear to let such a handsome young man wait for so long?”

 

“Did he quarrel with his girlfriend? If I had such a handsome boyfriend, I wouldn’t quarrel with him even to death!”

 

The lady said, taking out her mobile phone and showing the photos posted in the group to the people next to her, “He is so handsome, what can he do wrong!”

 

Fu Yanchuan glanced at the photo and immediately recognized Qi Xi, holding a very eye-catching bouquet of red roses in his arms.

 

He got off the elevator on the first floor, walked out quickly, and saw someone at a glance.

 

There is a very spacious square in front of the building. There is no one at this moment. Qi Xi stands alone under the streetlamp holding flowers, like an elf breaking into his eyes through the darkness. He spots him from a distance and immediately smiles at him.

 

The two people in the elevator only recognized Fu Yanchuan after he left, “Is that Mr. Fu just now?”

 

“Seems to be?”

 

“He’s so anxious. It’s not like the handsome guy is waiting for him, right?”

 

Both of them had gossipy eyes and hurriedly followed him out, only to see Qi Xi running towards Fu Yanchuan holding flowers.

 

“Brother Yan!”

 

When Qi Xi arrived in front of Fu Yanchuan, 199 roses blocked him. He said to Fu Yanchuan through the flowers, “I’m here to pick you up.”

 

Fu Yanchuan looked at Qi Xi’s eyes that seemed to be blooming with peach blossoms. He couldn’t help but lower his voice and said, “You don’t know how to call me? If I don’t come out from here, are you going to wait forever?”

 

“But you came out!”

 

Qi Xi didn’t think how long he had been waiting, and he didn’t care if he kept waiting. He handed the flowers to Fu Yanchuan, “It won’t be a surprise if I tell you. You asked me how to thank you. I asked many people, they say that the heart and thought is the most important, so are you willing to accept the flowers that represent my heart?”
