Chapter 23 Chapter 23 The Daisy Boy in Memories

After school in the afternoon, Liuxia took three works according to Julio's instructions and planned to return them to Alfonso.But on the way, he received a call from Alfonso, saying that he is currently at the Lorenzo Art Museum and asked Liu Xia to send the painting there directly. When Romeo parked the car firmly in front of the art gallery, Liu Xia was once again thankful that she didn't spit out yesterday's dinner. She suddenly missed the little motorcycle she snatched that morning. My stomach is cramping. Before opening the car door, she still did not forget to say thank you.Not only for his daily pick-up, but also for his timely help that morning.Without him, her work might have lost her qualifications.

For some reason, as the time spent together increases, her view of Romeo seems to be more and more different. In fact, if his identity is ignored, maybe they will become good friends. "It's too insincere to say it verbally. If you have time, please invite me to have a drink and chat. Of course, you can get to know each other better." Romeo smiled ambiguously. Fang Suo knew his mind well, but he still had no taboos in front of Liu Xia. But Liu Xia was already used to his way of speaking, she just shrugged at him and got out of the car. The security guards of the art museum have been changed again, and Liu Xia was stopped as soon as he arrived at the door.The new security guard was obviously very vigilant, and after hearing her name Alfonso, he confirmed with the intercom before agreeing to let him go.

Liu Xia walked through the spacious and bright corridor, and saw Alfonso sorting out his collection in that small room.He is wearing a black and blue flannel slim-fit jacket today. The smooth tailoring and delicate folds at the neckline show his luxury and suaveness.Leaning slightly, he inadvertently revealed half of his impeccable profile.There was a heart-throbbing cruelty faintly revealed on that expressionless face, and there seemed to be some kind of extremely dangerous illusion lurking in that perfect body. "Mr. Alfonso, I've already brought the painting. If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first." Liu Xia put the painting on the table and turned to leave.For Alfonso, she really didn't know how to treat him.The days under the same roof seemed to be peaceful, and the Earl was polite to her at ordinary times, and he did not appear to be as rude as he kissed her in Positano before.But she felt like a little white mouse locked in a glass box, her every move was completely under the control of the other party, but she didn't know when the real danger would come.And the other party was obviously very patient with the prey that could no longer escape, as if he was looking for the most suitable opportunity to swallow his prey without even leaving the fur.

"Going back in such a hurry? Is it difficult to stay with me for a few more minutes?" Alfonso turned his head, looked at her with deep eyes, and was obviously displeased, "Why don't you wear it? I'll buy you a new one." those clothes?" Liu Xia looked up at him, "Mr. Alfonso, I think I still have the freedom to choose what to wear." "Freedom?" Alfonso's lips curled into an elegant arc, "Liu Xia, you can study at school with peace of mind, go out to eat and chat with your classmates happily, and even want to go back to China to visit your parents. I can accompany you back. You see, I have given you a lot of freedom."

Liu Xia sneered, "Then do I still have to thank you for giving me this little freedom?" There seemed to be a cold flash in Alfonso's eyes, but he was still restrained. "Liuxia, do you want more freedom? Yes, as long as you want, I will satisfy you. But I only have one request for you," he lowered his voice as if sighing, and his tone revealed A bit of rare tenderness, "That is ------- never leave my side." For some reason, Liu Xia's head became hot, and he blurted out, "But this is the freedom I want most." Alfonso's complexion slightly tightened, and his water-green eyes suddenly darkened.He didn't say anything more, but stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders fiercely, and forced her body down on the table top of the round table, without giving her any chance to resist, he kissed her lips hard .

This is an obviously sadistic kiss, seemingly menacing but deeply hiding some kind of hurt loss. Liu Xia struggled to dodge his attack, but her hands were restrained, only her legs could move, but the other party seemed to have sensed her next move, and she used her own legs to tightly suppress her. range of activities.His kiss was so fierce, so unscrupulous, like a violent storm, it was frightening. Liu Xia now only hates himself for being so useless, he has learned so many things but can't deal with him at all!Just when she thought her shoulders were about to be crushed, he slowly let go of his hands, and those cold and soft lips stopped raging.

"Alfonso, do you have to use this method to prove something? In my opinion, that is the best proof that you have no self-confidence and tyranny!" Once she was free, she could no longer control her expression Expressed his anger. Alfonso looked at her face flushed with anger, and suddenly smiled softly, with a hint of ridicule in his tone that was completely inconsistent with his character, "Poor little guy, have you realized what it's like not to be able to resist me?" .” "You..." She was so annoyed by his slightly frivolous tone that she couldn't speak.

"Liu Xia, if I can't even fulfill this request, I will take back all my freedom." The ridicule just now seemed to be just a flash in the pan, and he quickly recovered his smile and returned to the formidable leader of the night, " Liu Xia, my patience is not very good. You don't want me to treat you in such a rough way, do you?" Liu Xia didn't answer him, but held her fingers tightly, as if something was burning in her heart.What is this?Threat, or humiliation? Can the disparity in power make him do whatever he wants? She is not reconciled, really not reconciled.

"Ring ring ring----" Alfonso's cell phone rang suddenly, he picked up the phone, and walked out of the room while listening. Liu Xia originally wanted to take this opportunity to leave here, but the other party seemed to have guessed her thoughts long ago, turned around and made a gesture to her not to leave. Under such circumstances, it would not be of any benefit to confront him head-on.Liu Xia is very aware of this, so he has no choice but to stay here for the time being.She walked to the bookshelf where Alfonso was sorting things just now, and accidentally saw a dozen oil painting tubes randomly piled up in the corner.

These oil painting cylinders seem to be old, and the quaint surface has been covered with a thick layer of dust. Most of the works that can be collected here by Alfonso are the masterpieces of those masters, right?Thinking of this in Liu Xia's heart, she couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch it. The temptation brought by art itself is something she cannot resist and cannot resist. Just when her hand touched the pile of oil painting tubes, one of the oil painting tubes fell off with a snap, and just happened to roll down to her feet. "Huh? Could it be that you and I are destined?" Liu Xia said to herself, "Then I must see your true face today." She gently opened the oil painting tube and unfolded the painting carefully. Open up -----

That is not the work of a master, but a practice work whose brushwork is still quite young. The warm yellow is the sun, the pink green is the grass, and the chrome yellow is the stamens, with some matte, some light and dark, overlapping with the white daisies, quietly blending in the warm light of Paris blue under the sky. Those colors are different but harmonious and unified, quiet and light, rendering an unparalleled visual beauty. Liu Xia stared at the painting without blinking, and some deep memories seemed to be awakened bit by bit by the colorful colors.She never forgot those memories, they seemed to be sleeping quietly in her heart, waiting. Closing her eyes, she seemed to see the scene in the forest of Positano that day again. The delicate and elegant young man was concentrating on drawing something on the white canvas in front of him, and the sunlight outlined several charming brilliance on his light chestnut hair, like a brilliant halo cast by God himself. Why did Alfonso collect this painting?Could it be... Her heart trembled violently, and something that was usually neglected appeared in front of her eyes very clearly at this moment--those identical water-green eyes, that age that cannot be doubted, those Newly grown light chestnut hair... Impossible, how is this possible. How could Alfonso be the same person as that daisy boy?That was a beautiful memory in her life, that person was the enlightener who gave her the beginning of her dream... "Liu Xia, I have nothing to do here. You come back with me..." Alfonso walked in while talking, and his voice stopped suddenly when he saw the painting in Liu Xia's hand. Liu Xia slowly turned her head, stared closely at his water-green eyes, and spoke clearly, "The simplest white can be matched with any color. The colorful colors can also be highlighted because of the existence of white." their respective advantages." Alfonso's face quickly returned to normal color.Even he himself almost forgot where the painting was placed, but she did not expect to find it by such a coincidence. Perhaps, this is God's arrangement. Then, there is no need for him to hide anymore. Thinking of this, his expression suddenly became gentle, as if he smiled helplessly, "If you go to pick 100 daisies, I promise to teach you." Liu Xia's heart was beating fast, as if an indescribable strange feeling penetrated her body, the blood in her whole body was gradually boiling, but there was a buzzing sound in her ears, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.In front of her eyes seemed to be full of sparkling waves reflected by the sunlight projected on the sea surface, which made her unable to see clearly. It turned out that there really was that subtle bond between them. It turned out that she had seen him a long time ago. "Is it hard to accept?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, trying to keep his tone as light as possible, "Everyone has that kind of youth, doesn't it?" "You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you?" She immediately thought of this after she calmed down. Alfonso did not deny it, "Yes, I recognized you a long time ago. Although I only met you once when I was a child, I have not forgotten the scene of that day." When he said the last sentence, his face seemed to be He froze for a moment, and an indescribable sadness flashed in his eyes like shooting stars. "Why?" Her voice was mixed with incomprehensible emotions, "You used to love painting so much, why did you become like this now?" "Why?" He repeated these words, with a bitter smile on his lips, "At that time, I also thought I would become a painter." "So what happened? You have an enviable background and wealth, why did you choose such a path? Alfonso, you were already very talented at that time, don't you feel it is a pity to abandon all these? ?” "It's a pity?" He sneered, and his expression changed to the dark and cold expression she was familiar with, "You don't know anything at all. You won't understand what happened to me. All I know is that if I don't choose to leave I wouldn't be alive today." "Alfonso..." Liu Xia stared at him with an unexplainable complicated gaze, but didn't know what to say.Indeed, she didn't know exactly what happened to him, but his change must have something to do with these things. Perhaps, he also has some unknown difficulties? For some reason, when Liu Xia equated him with that daisy boy, the hostility towards him unknowingly decreased a bit, and even, there was still a bit of regret and pity. The surroundings fell into silence, and neither of them spoke, but stood there quietly, each with its own feelings. "That day..." It was Liu Xia who broke the silence first, her voice sounded a little helpless, "I was chased badly by bees." Alfonso was taken aback for a moment, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curled up, "You were really annoying at that time." "No matter what, there's one thing I've always wanted to say to that Daisy boy." Liu Xia's Danfeng's eyes glowed faintly, "Thank you. Thank you for letting me find my dream." The afterglow of the setting sun quietly leaked in from the door, and several rays of light interlaced and projected on his face, the overlapping of light and shadow just blurred the expression on his face. At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Mr. Lorenzo, I heard that you happened to be here, so I stopped by to have a look." Alfonso immediately walked out of the room quickly, closed the door, and then heard his elegant voice, "It turns out that it is the speaker's wife, what a rare guest. Why did you think of coming here?" "Mr. Lorenzo, I heard that you have a collection of Titian's Flora. I wonder if this is true?" The speaker's wife had a French woman's unique accent in her voice. "Oh, I've already sold that flower god." He replied lightly, "I think it will have a better owner." "So it's really like this..." The speaker's wife sounded a bit regretful, "That's really a pity..." The two then casually chatted a few more words about painting, and soon the speaker's wife said that she had to leave beforehand. After Alfonso dismissed the speaker's wife, he returned to the room.As he expected, Liu Xia couldn't help asking him, "Mr. Alfonso, last time I seemed to hear Romeo say that you took the flower god to exchange for some project. Could it be that it was given to the speaker's wife? If this is the case, then what happened to the flower god that was exchanged for me?" Alfonso didn't want to hide her from her, so he just told the truth, "The flower god that was exchanged for you last time is actually a fake. As for Gino, we bought him a long time ago. I bought the real flower god through the company. The name was given to the speaker's wife, so that we will be more likely to win the government tender project." After hearing his answer, Liu Xia's expression was still very calm, "Oh, so is she here today to confirm something?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's right. The speaker's wife can sit in this position, so she naturally acts cautiously. Before that, many people only heard that the flower god was with me, but almost no one had seen it with their own eyes. .So although the resale procedures of Flower God are very complete, the wife of the speaker still wants to confirm it from me." Liu Xia was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Alfonso, do you still remember that you once said that you like Titian the most?" He froze for a moment, "Of course I remember." "No." She shook her head with deep disappointment on her face, "A person who really likes Titian would not exchange his works for those things. Alfonso, it turns out that you and Milan As long as it is beneficial to you, you can exchange anything around you. Everything in this art museum, Titian, Raphael, Giorgio, Michelangelo...all can be exchanged for you What you want. What you like is not their works, but the benefits brought by those works and art!" After saying the last sentence, Liu Xia picked up her bag and rushed out.When she got to the door, she turned around and said, "Alfonso, you really don't deserve to like them!" Even she herself didn't know why she was so excited, was it because her favorite Flower God was insulted, or the enlightener of that dream had disappeared? If she didn't know that he was Daisy boy, maybe she wouldn't be so angry. He obviously loves painting so much, why did he destroy everything with his own hands?
