Chapter 111: Crazy Substitute Literature
An art exhibition that wins Su Qi's favor is certainly extraordinary.
Although the painter is not well-known, those invited to the exhibition are all celebrities from all walks of life.
Shi Li was wearing a pearl-colored dress and followed Su Qi closely and obediently.
She hadn't left the villa halfway up the mountain for many days, and when she finally got out, she felt relaxed but nervous at the same time.
The feeling of relief was that I could finally breathe the air outside, and the feeling of nervousness was that I was worried about being discovered and then reported to Qi Aotian.
Torn between two emotions, Shi Li's fingers felt slightly cold.
As they walked into the gallery, Su Qi turned around and gently held her fingers.
"Don't be afraid." He looked into Shi Li's eyes and whispered to her, "I will protect you."
Shi Li stared into his eyes blankly and her heart was shamefully moved.
So she obediently let him hold her hand and walk together through the corridor where the paintings were hung.
The sunlight in the corridor was a little dim, making the abstract paintings on the wall look bizarre and a bit strange.
Shi Li glanced around quickly and her attention was suddenly attracted by a painting at the end of the corridor. She couldn't help but walk over.
It was a square painting, framed in a gilded frame.
Large areas of black and gray are intertwined, gradually forming a twisted vortex in the center. After looking at it for a long time, it feels like the whole painting has a soul.
"Do you like this painting?"
Maybe Shi Li had been standing here for too long, and Su Qi couldn't help but speak.
Shi Li looked back at him, then looked at the painting, and shook her head slowly and hesitantly, "I don't like it."
When she answered this question, a dark current flashed in Su Qi's eyes.
Then, still in a gentle voice, he asked, "Why are you watching for so long if you don't like it?"
"I see suffocation and depression in this painting." Shi Li frowned and said slowly, "The person who painted this must have had a hard life."
This exhibition displayed hundreds of paintings in total.
Guests who come to the exhibition either know nothing or just want to show off their own style.
Or they would use a critical eye and make blunt comments on the paintings here.
Only Shili is unique.
I truly understood the painter's inner thoughts from the perspective of an observer.
Su Qi looked at the bitter and resentful expression on Shi Li's face, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Lili..." He raised his hand, as if wanting to touch the girl's soft hair.
But unfortunately, two voices that were very familiar to Shi Li were heard from another corridor not far away.
"Brother Aotian, the paintings here are so weird. Do the people who painted them have mental problems?"
The cute female voice always has a slightly coquettish tone no matter what she says.
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll take you for ice cream after this."
Although the man's voice was serious, his words were patient and soothing.
When Shi Li heard these two voices, the expression on her face became visibly stiff.
Even Su Qi could feel that her palms were sweating in an instant.
Shi Li was very panicked.
After all, one of these two men coveted her waist, and the other had issued a city-wide "wanted order" for her. It would be strange if she wasn't panicking.
I heard their voices getting closer and closer.
Shi Li was so panicked that she forgot to think and threw herself into Su Qi's arms, hugging his waist tightly with both hands.
Su Qi, who was caught off guard by the attack, said:
He was stunned at first, then smiled gently and hugged the girl who threw herself into his arms.
The two of them were very close.
A few seconds later, Shi Li heard Chen Xinxin's pretentious "ah" and guessed that she must have seen him and Su Qi, and his heart immediately rose to his throat.
Su Qi noticed her emotions, lowered his head and leaned close to her ear, whispering in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
A warm breath came along with his words, and Shi Li's body and heart trembled.
"Brother Aotian, let's go to another corridor so as not to disturb others."
Chen Xinxin looked like an innocent girl, and even blushed when she saw the ambiguous posture of the couple in front of her. She pulled Qi Aotian and walked in another direction.
Qi Aotian was obediently pulled forward by her.
When he was about to turn the corridor, he stopped with a frown and looked back.
The couple was still hugging each other intimately as before.
He could only see the girl's slender back.
For some reason, I feel that this scene is inexplicably familiar and inexplicably annoying.
Qi Aotian didn't have time to think deeply and was pulled by Chen Xinxin towards another corridor.
"Brother Aotian, I think this painting is pretty good."
Chen Xinxin's energetic voice interrupted Qi Aotian's thoughts.
He came back to his senses and looked at Chen Xinxin intently.
The girl's face was all smiles, just like when she was pulled out of the icy river.
