"I mean...didn't you mark the price wrong? Or is this...not Mr. Qiao's work..." Shao Yatong pointed to the word "fly" in the lower corner of the sculpture to the old man. She heard that Master Qiao Jianfei's original proportions were reduced.
Copying is very famous, but it is really rare on the market, so I am not sure about it now.
"Do you know the meaning of this word?" The old man was surprised.
"Well, I have also been to Master Qiao Jianfei's sculpture exhibition. One of my teachers likes sculptures, and I, the Thinker, am going to give it to him... But Mr. Qiao's works should not cost just 50,000 yuan."
Shao Yatong looked at the old man expectantly, hoping to get his explanation.
"Perhaps Qiao Jianfei's works are more expensive than this elsewhere, but here I say whatever the price is. Since the bid is 50,000, I'll sell it to you for 50,000. Originally, this ornament is from my own collection, and the price is just a random price. Anyway,
No one near the school would buy such expensive things. I didn’t expect that someone would fall in love with it. It’s considered a destined person, so I’ll sell it to you.” The old man said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then I... I'm really sorry." Shao Yatong was a little embarrassed. She knew how much such a master's work meant to sculpture lovers. Although the statue was placed high in the corner, it was spotless and it could be seen that it was wiped frequently.
, probably placed inconspicuously
I don't want too many people to pay attention to it. The old man just said categorically "not for sale", which shows that he also cherishes this ornament. This means that he wants to steal love, not to mention buying it at such a low price is more like plundering.
"Then let me add some more money to you..."
"Trading requires credit. Since the price has been marked, how can we keep raising the price again and again? I only sold it to you because I am destined to you, otherwise I would never take it away from you at all." The old man said, taking the ornaments and starting to pack them in boxes.
"I'm so grateful to you. I don't even know what to say..."
"I hope your teacher will have the same understanding of "The Thinker" as you do." The old man said as he packaged it carefully.
"Definitely, I learned from him. Art is his soul! Oh... By the way, I didn't bring so much cash..."
"It doesn't matter, just bring it over anytime." The old man handed the well-wrapped gift box to Shao Yatong and said nonchalantly, as if money was nothing to him.
"Oh, no, I mean can I swipe my card?" Shao Yatong took out the card Chu Mohan gave her. She actually didn't want to touch it, but by chance, she met this "Thinker", and she was determined to have it.
When you get the money, you must return it to Chu Mohan.
The old man smiled and took the card.
When Shao Yatong carefully walked out of the gallery holding the gift box, she smiled knowingly. She seemed to see Qiu Haoyu's excited eyes when he saw this ornament.
When he returned to Qiu Haoyu's dormitory, he saw Shao Yaqian and Chu Xingyan talking and laughing around him. As soon as she entered the door, everyone stopped and stopped talking.
"Brother Haoyu, happy birthday." Shao Yatong stood awkwardly for a while before stepping forward and raising the gift box in his hand to Qiu Haoyu.
"I'm very happy that you can come. What gifts do you want to buy? You know I don't care about this at all."
Qiu Haoyu said this, and Shao Yatong also noticed that he was wearing his previous clothes again. Qiu Haoyu did not accept the gift box in Shao Yatong's hand and just looked at her, somewhat unscrupulously.
Chu Xingyan was most worried that Shao Yatong would give Qiu Haoyu hope again, but Qiu Haoyu's unconcealed eyes really frightened her, and she clenched her fists unconsciously.
Shao Yaqian's eyes moved among the few people, and she saw some clues. She sneered and stepped forward, but before Qiu Haoyu could take the gift box from Shao Yatong's hand, she grabbed it first.
"What good things can I buy near the school? It's better not to buy anything to deal with it." Shao Yaqian said and threw the gift box directly on the sofa, and grabbed Qiu Haoyu who was about to pick it up, and attached
Qiu Haoyu whispered in his ear: "Brother Haoyu, your current girlfriend will be jealous if you keep doing this."
Only then did Qiu Haoyu feel that he had ignored Chu Xingyan. He looked at Shao Yatong apologetically and then walked to the dining table. "Yanyan worked really hard today. She prepared such a sumptuous lunch. It won't be good when it gets cold. Let's eat together."
Bar."
"We have to go back. I don't worry about grandpa being home. Besides, Mo Han will be worried if we go back too late." Shao Yatong helplessly looked at the gift box that was thrown aside and then went to pull Shao Yaqian.
"Okay, okay, Brother Haoyu, we won't disturb your young couple's sweet love!" Shao Yaqian said with an ambiguous smile and followed Shao Yatong away.
When they left, Qiu Haoyu immediately suppressed the smile on his face and felt a little disappointed. He was afraid that Shao Yatong had just been unhappy with his behavior. After all, this gift was carefully selected by her.
"Haoyu, let's eat..." Chu Xingyan stretched out her hand, but what she caught was only air. The hand that was frozen in mid-air made her extremely embarrassed, and her heart was churning. At this moment, Qiu Haoyu had already entered with the gift box given by Shao Yatong.
Suddenly, the hand that was still in the air slowly clenched into a fist, and the nails were dug deeply into the flesh.
Qiu Haoyu opened the package layer by layer with a heavy heart. He kept guessing what would be inside, thinking that it would probably be painting utensils. The gifts Shao Yatong always gave him were very practical. Basically, if he needed anything he needed, she would deliver it right away.
, she is always the one who knows her best.
When the innermost box was opened and he saw the gold-plated bronze statue lying quietly inside, Qiu Haoyu's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Thinker", Shao Yatong actually still remembers the Thinker, then she must also remember what he once told her.
He didn't remember how long ago he had said those words. He just casually said that he wanted to own a "Thinker", but she actually remembered it! He was so moved in his heart.
Qiu Haoyu carefully took out this ornament and placed it in his hand as heavy as his heart. Thinker, this human body statue was originally part of Rodin's giant sculpture "Gates of Hell". He stood high above the hell.
door threshold
Above and below him were a group of sculptures on the Gate of Hell, depicting people struggling in sin, suffering, and despair. He bent over and lowered his head, holding his chin with his hand, as if he was shocked by the thrilling tragic scene in front of him, and was trapped in
Painful meditation.
What was the purpose of Shao Yatong giving him this ornament? Qiu Haoyu seemed to see that she was the person living in dire straits. Was she telling herself that she was not happy now?
Qiu Haoyu stroked the sculpture. It was a strong, inner-powerful, mature and profound image. The body with a strong sense of life shrank violently in an extremely painful thought, with frowning brows and chin cupped.
The arms, the bent torso, the bent lower limbs, all the details of the human body
The joints were driven by an invisible pressure, tightly gathering and shrinking inward, as if his solemn and profound thinking was caused by the strength of the entire body. He loved this sculpture, but he loved Shao Yatong even more for him.
She couldn't imagine what happened so far ago, but she still kept it in her heart.
At this moment, Qiu Haoyu's originally disillusioned hope was ignited again. He remembered the profound and eternal spirit contained in the thinker, and Shao Yatong must also remember it. Thinking of this, Qiu Haoyu raised the corner of his mouth, guessing that Shao Yatong must have asked him to wait patiently, and wait.
This is what she must have meant for their future.
When Shao Yatong and Shao Yaqian returned home, Shao Yatong began to prepare dinner. She couldn't explain why she felt so bad. Maybe it was the guilt in her heart. Spending Chu Mohan's money really made her feel uncomfortable, and it was a gift to Qiu Haoyu.
Gift.
Shao Yatong cooked a whole table of Chu Mohan's favorite dishes. Shao Yaqian didn't know what she was doing and didn't help at all. Originally, Shao Yatong didn't want her to participate. It was like this before. At home, Shao Yaqian was just like a princess, doing all the housework at home.
It was Shao Yatong who was doing it, and she had long been used to it.
"Hey... are you coming back for dinner?" It was already dinner time, but Chu Mohan didn't come back. Shao Yatong couldn't help but pick up the phone and dial.
"What do you hope?"
"My sister and I are waiting for you to come back and eat together." Shao Yatong sat alone at the table, and her name was not Shao Yaqian at all.
"Is your sister waiting or are you waiting?"
Shao Yatong was silent for a long time and said, "I just asked you if you want to come back."
"Honey, do you miss me?"
Shao Yatong was startled and almost dropped the phone. The voice clearly came from behind. When she turned around, she almost bumped into Chu Mohan.
"Why don't I see any sister? Is it really difficult to say that you miss me?" Chu Mohan gently placed his big palm on the top of Shao Yatong's hair and rubbed it gently. His eyes fell on the table. He saw that Shao Yatong
These are his favorite things to eat on weekdays.
"I'm going to ask sister to eat." Shao Yatong pushed Chu Mohan's hand away awkwardly and ran upstairs in embarrassment. It was really embarrassing for her to be caught like this.
"Ah——" After dinner, Shao Yatong helped Wu's mother clean up and returned to the room. As soon as she entered the door, her body suddenly vacated, which frightened her and she exclaimed.
"Honey, why do you always act so coldly and reject others even though you already have me in your heart? Can't we be like other couples?" Chu Mohan walked into the room with Shao Yatong in his arms.
"Who cares about you? It's just a meal, you're overthinking it! Everyone wants to eat it and it's not cooked for you!" Shao Yatong turned her face away and didn't want to admit it. She told herself over and over again that she couldn't be tempted by this man! She should hate it
He, he destroyed everything about her, including her flesh and blood.
"Then what do you say about this?" Chu Mohan held Shao Yatong in his arms and stood in front of the closet, where a set of Giorgio Armani's business men's clothes hung. "Don't say you didn't buy it!"
The card Chu Mohan gave to Shao Yatong had a text message reminder. When Shao Yatong paid, Chu Mohan had already received the payment information. He was still wondering at the time, what did the two people buy?
Fifty thousand yuan. When I saw this set of clothes hanging here after dinner, I was so excited. I didn't expect that Shao Yatong would give me a gift. It was really a big surprise.
