Love So Sweet

Chapter 479 - 479 The Exhibition

479 The Exhibition

Half an hour before the exhibition began, Fang Su Jin and a few other artists who came with her started to get busy.

Zhang Yi Hai sat at the corner while watching his girlfriend and her mentor running around the place to check on everything.

This time, there were several painters who will debut in F Country. Everyone was a little anxious about it. After all, having an exhibition in F Country was something major for the young painters.

Soon, the door was opened and a group of people walked into the exhibition hall to look at the paintings. Looking at the way the manager and the staff were being polite to the guests, Zhang Yi Hai guessed that those people should be some big shots in art.

The group of people would stop at the halls to look at several paintings before they began to comment on them.

Zhang Yi Hai walked over to the room where Fang Su Jin’s paintings were displayed and sat on the chair as he admired the paintings that his girlfriend made. Although he had seen them a few times before, Zhang Yi Hai thought that he would not get tired to look at them.

Suddenly, he could not help to recall a few things from the past.

How he was forced to accompany his sister to attend Fang Su Jin’s exhibition when he was a lot younger. He always thought that Fang Su Jin’s paintings were very good.

They were very lively. It felt as if his mood would improve after looking at them.

.....

While he was sitting in the room of Fang Su Jin’s paintings, Zhang Yi Hai did not forget to eavesdrop on a few conversations to know what did others think about his girlfriend’s paintings.

Hearing their compliment made him feel very proud.

After staying in that room for a while, Zhang Yi Hai noticed a shadow looming over him. He raised his head and saw Teacher Jiang standing behind him.

Swiftly, Zhang Yi Hai stood to greet the elder man.

“Young man, thank you for accompanying Su Jin here,” Teacher Jiang spoke. He let out a cough and continued, “Actually, you don’t have to sit here all day. You can go for a walk and come back to pick up Su Jin again later. Staying here might be a little boring.”

Teacher Jiang noticed that Zhang Yi Hai has been sitting around the room for a while and thought that he might be bored.

“Teacher Jiang, it’s fine. I won’t feel at ease leaving Su Jin here. Besides...” Zhang Yi Hai smiled. “It was interesting to listen to what others were thinking about her paintings.

The elder man heaved a sigh. He knew that Zhang Yi Hai was worrying that something similar to yesterday would happen again. This was the reason Zhang Yi Hai stayed around the exhibition center.

Teacher Jiang met Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes and stared into them for a while. The glint in Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes surprised him a little bit.

After a few seconds, Teacher Jiang’s expression began to soften a little bit. He patted Zhang Yi Hai on the shoulder and spoke, “Young man, you have to look after Su Jin.”

He was a little worried to hear that Fang Su Jin and this young man were together. This was the first time that he met his student’s boyfriend and Teacher Jiang was worried that Fang Su Jin might be hurt. But seeing the sincerity in Zhang Yi Hai’s eyes made him feel more at ease.

Zhang Yi Hai nodded. “Teacher Jiang, I understand.”

...

Fang Su Jin had just finished discussing some arrangements with the staff when she noticed a bottle of drinking water appeared in front of her.

She looked up and saw Zhang Yi Hai looking back at her with a smile on his face.

Fang Su Jin reached for the bottle of water and took a few mouthfuls of drinks. “Thank you.”

She met a lot of people and had spoken to a lot of people. Now that she had drunk some water, her throat felt a little better. Then, Fang Su Jin looked at her wristwatch and spoke, “I will stay around for an hour. Then, we can leave, alright?”

Fang Su Jin knew that Zhang Yi Hai has been hanging around the place from the beginning.

He stayed around the center without doing anything else. Fang Su Jin thought that it was pitiful to let him wait for her for a long time. Moreover, she could tell that Zhang Yi Hai seemed a little tired.

Therefore, she already decided that once she met those important people, she was going to leave the exhibition center as well.

“Alright.” Zhang Yi Hai nodded.

Fang Su Jin was about to say something else when she noticed the hesitant look on the man’s face. “What’s the matter?”

Zhang Yi Hai thought of the phone call he received early that morning. He glanced at the time and thought that his uncle should have arrived in F Country by now.

Although he had already mentioned his uncle to Fang Su Jin earlier, Zhang Yi Hai knew that Fang Su Jin too would not be prepared to meet him on such short notice.

However, he still needed to tell her about this.

“Su Jin, there is something I have to tell you.”

Fang Su Jin nodded as she waited for Zhang Yi Hai to continue.

“You do remember that I told you about my uncle who helped me to get out of the police station yesterday, right?”

Fang Su Jin nodded again. She also remembered that it was because of Zhang Yi Hai’s uncle that she was able to join this exhibition. “Un. I remember.”

“My uncle should arrive in F Country today. He said that he wanted to invite us both to dinner. Su Jin, what do you think? Do you mind meeting him for dinner today?”

Zhang Yi Hai continued to study his girlfriend’s expression. He decided that if Fang Su Jin told him that she was not ready, then, he will find some excuse to push back the meeting.

Fang Su Jin was surprised to hear that she was going to meet Zhang Yi Hai’s family member later. Her eyes widened in surprise and she was unable to give her answer for a long time.

She was indeed not ready to meet her boyfriend’s relative.

However, when Fang Su Jin thought of how that man had helped them, she decided that she should not reject this invitation.
