Chapter 284: Rookie Art Exhibition.
"No, I have to deal with some work matters." Yeran explained with a smile.
"That's it." Shen Jia didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the food arrived.
"Eat, eat more." Shen Jia greeted Ye Ran.
"Okay, let's eat together." Ye Ran said and picked up the chopsticks.
The two chatted while eating, quickly finished their lunch and walked out of the restaurant.
"We agreed that I would treat you next time." Shen Jia said with some resentment.
Yeran said with a bit of laughter and tears: "In two days, when I finish my work and resume classes, I will contact you and we will have dinner together."
"Okay, it's settled." Shen Jia was satisfied.
"There is an art exhibition not far ahead. Let's walk there." Yeran suggested.
Shen Jia agreed: "Okay."
"What style of painting do you like?" Shen Jia asked curiously.
"I like them all, but I paint more landscapes." Yeran responded.
Shen Jia was surprised: "Do you like landscape painting? I also prefer landscape painting!"
Unexpectedly, the two of them not only have the same hobbies, but also the same style.
"Do you draw a lot?" Yeran asked.
Shen Jia shook his head: "I haven't drawn for a long time. Now that I think about it, my hands are really itchy."
With that said, Shen Jia looked at Ye Ran and suggested, "Why don't we go sketching another day."
"Uh... I think let's forget it." From now on, she must do sketches by herself and never with others.
Thinking of the embarrassing incident when she and Bai Qianmo went to the waterfall to sketch last time, she felt very upset.
"Why? Aren't you willing to go sketching with me?" Shen Jia was a little disappointed. They had obviously agreed before.
"No." Ye Ran could only explain bravely: "I'm a little busy recently, I'm afraid I don't have any free time."
"Then I'll wait for you!" Shen Jia's eyes brightened a little, he could wait.
Ye Ran tried his best to smile and said: "If you want to go, just go first. You don't have to wait for me. We will go together when there is a chance in the future."
Anyway, she didn't want to go sketching in a short period of time.
Not with anyone, but she didn't want to go.
Shen Jia said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. When you have time, just make an appointment with me. I'll be waiting for you at any time."
As long as she didn't dislike him, he would be satisfied.
It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer, just wait.
Looking at his appearance, Ye Ran couldn't help but shake her head secretly, forget it, as long as he was happy, she didn't want to go sketching now anyway.
While talking, the two people had arrived at the art exhibition.
"This is an exhibition of works by emerging painters. The exhibitors are all newcomers in the painting world in the past two years..." Ye Ran introduced the content of the exhibition to Shen Jia.
Shen Jia asked expectantly: "Is there a code star?"
"Do you know her?" Yeran was a little surprised.
"Of course, she is the most mysterious new artist in the painting world. She doesn't have many works, and even less of them are circulating in the market, because her paintings need to be customized, and whether they can be painted depends on her mood." Shen Jia gushed. He kept saying: "Did you know? What's even worse is that no one has seen her true appearance."
Listening to Shen Jia's boastful introduction of himself, Yeran touched his nose a little.
"She's not that famous, right?" Yeran said in a muffled voice.
"How should I describe this?" Shen Jia thought for a moment and said, "The outside world doesn't know, but everyone on the painter forum knows about it."
But he felt that at least anyone who was interested in paintings would have heard of her.
"I really hope I can see her paintings in the exhibition." Shen Jia sighed: "If I don't have the chance to collect them, it would be nice to feast my eyes on them."
"Then you are quite lucky. Her paintings are indeed on display today." Ye Ran told him simply.
Although she couldn't tell her identity, he would be happy to know that there were paintings in the exhibition.
Sure enough, Shen Jia was overjoyed after hearing this: "Really? That's great!"
"Do you like her paintings that much?" Yeran asked with a chuckle.
Shen Jia said arrogantly: "Of course, you must also know about her. Aren't you interested in her paintings?"
"I..." Yeran could only agree with him with a smile: "I really want to see it."
"Let me just say, everyone will be interested in her paintings." Shen Jia said regretfully: "It's a pity that she is too mysterious, otherwise I really want to get to know her."
"Maybe there will be a chance in the future." Yeran comforted casually.
"I hope so." Shen Jia looked at Ye Ran and said, "If she shows up in the future, we will visit her together."
Ye Ran smiled dryly and said, "Let's go in."
Seeing Yeran striding in like this, Shen Jia was a little surprised: "Are we going in like this? No invitation letter, no tickets?"
"I made a reservation in advance. With this, you don't need an invitation letter or an exhibition ticket." Yeran said, shaking a wristband hanging on his wrist.
"This is a reservation voucher. I thought it was just an ordinary accessory." Shen Jia said in surprise after realizing it.
Yeran didn't explain much and led the way towards the exhibition area.
"Let's go to the Code Star exhibition area first." Shen Jia couldn't wait.
"She only participated in two paintings, and it takes a short time to see them all, so you can look at the others first." Yeran suggested.
She would come to the art exhibition not to see her own paintings, but to see the works of other painters.
"The others will wait for a while, let's go over first." Shen Jia couldn't wait any longer and looked around for the Code Star exhibition area.
Looking at his appearance, Yeran had no choice but to say: "Let's go, hers is in the innermost exhibition area."
"Then let's go." Shen Jia couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"This organizer is really amazing. They were able to invite her to participate in the exhibition. I wonder if they have her contact information?" Shen Jia sighed.
"No." Yeran responded casually.
"How do you know?" Shen Jia looked at Yeran with wide eyes in shock.
Yeran was secretly annoyed and could only explain: "Everyone knows that if you want to contact her, you can only contact her through her work email, without exception, so I guess not."
Shen Jia thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "That's right."
"Let's go, we'll be there soon." Ye Ran diverted Shen Jia's attention.
"Okay." Shen Jia really stopped asking questions.
Watching him walking forward, Ye Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost exposed just now by accident.
She finally decided to participate in this art exhibition because she received many sincere invitations from the organizer. However, the organizer only contacted her through her work email. This was her rule.
"Wow, her paintings are really refreshing." Shen Jia's voice came with admiration.
Yeran put away his thoughts and came to Shen Jia.
"It's really good." Yeran praised, smiling a little awkwardly.
It's really strange for me to praise my own paintings.
"Yeah, you see what you said, let me just say, no one can dislike her paintings." Shen Jia looked proud, as if he had painted the painting.
Ye Ran was a little bit dumbfounded, and now she met a painting fan!
"The painting is good, but the style and brushwork of this painting are a bit familiar." A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Ye Ran's expression froze slightly.
