236. Are You Afraid of Marrying a Bride?

When Zhou Zekai woke up this time, his nostrils were filled with the smell of alcohol, and the feeling of being submerged in garbage made Zhou Zekai wake up all of a sudden. At first, he felt a headache, but now, looking at In this messy room, with wine bottles thrown everywhere, Zhou Zekai showed a helpless expression. He really didn't expect that he would look like this in this world.

Slowly recovering his nerves, Zhou Zekai stood up from the sofa. Looking at the messy room again, he resigned himself to tidying it up. He really can't tolerate mess, let alone this The room also smelled of alcohol, which was really annoying.

Quickly tidy up the rubbish on the ground, and throw away everything that should be thrown away. Zhou Zekai opened the window and found that it was still dark outside. After all, it was only after four o'clock. The cold air outside instantly invaded the room and It touched Zhou Zekai's brain, and made him understand what was going on with him now.

Why did I drink so much alcohol before? Because the girlfriend who fell in love with him was leaving him, and after giving him the last notice, she was going to leave in the early morning...

It is already the end of October, and the cold air outside is chilly. Entering the air-conditioned room, the combination of heat and cold made Zhou Zekai's face a little flushed, but he remained expressionless, and took out a bag from his pocket. The cigarette was lit and put in his mouth, and he began to puff.

He really didn't expect that he would have such an identity, but he also felt very good, after all, some people always feel that they are passionate.

He is an artist in this world. To put it bluntly, he is a poor painter. His parents paid for him to paint in the early years. Then he got into a car accident and the driver was sentenced. He also left Zhou Zekai with more than one million yuan. Relying on this more than one million yuan, Zhou Zekai entered the Academy of Art to study painting, and then met Cheng Qingrou, a department flower. The two had very similar ideas in painting, so they fell in love over time.

It's just that the good times didn't last long. After graduation, Cheng Qingrou's family actually wanted Cheng Qingrou to get married. The marriage partner was Yan Jingjia, the most powerful son of Yan's eldest son in Shangjing. When it became hot, he actually agreed to elope with Cheng Qingrou. He had already agreed to the teacher and signed a contract with the studio. It only takes a few years for him to become the most popular painter at the moment, but when it comes to love, artists are also clueless. Thinking of a young lady running away for him, Zhou Zekai happily sent it up, took Cheng Qingrou's only 500,000 yuan and eloped with him!

Because the Cheng family can't find out that his grades in school and the pen name he used before can no longer be used. After changing to the current Shangyang City, everything needs to start again. Zhou Zekai has always been very happy in order to make Cheng Qingrou happy. effort!

But even so, what can be changed? Poor and lowly couples are in trouble!

Cheng Qingrou, who eloped, naturally didn't bring anything with her, and she relied entirely on Zhou Zekai to support her. The houses in Shangyang City cost several million yuan, and the two of them rented a good three-bedroom and one living room, which cost 50,000 yuan. Zhou Zekai gave the rent and the rest of the money to Cheng Qingrou. He thought that since he was a man and the other party eloped with him, he couldn't treat her badly. Giving all his money to the other party was also a kind of caring.

It's just that Cheng Qingrou is used to being a big lady, and she doesn't know money is not so easy to earn, so during the six months of elopement with Zhou Zekai, she didn't help with family affairs, didn't cook, and didn't go to work. Every day she goes shopping, every time she mentions this, Cheng Qingrou will say that she is like this in Cheng's house, and she can't change her living habits just because she is with him, right?

All kinds of cosmetics, all kinds of clothes, Cheng Qingrou never thought that the money was Zhou Zekai's compensation after the death of his parents. With her, as time goes by, the money will be spent within half a year.

In half a year, Cheng Qingrou not only spent 500,000 yuan, but also Zhou Zekai had to write for others in order to make a living. The manuscript fee added up to 380,000 to 90,000 yuan, but Cheng Qingrou squandered all of it.

Zhou Zekai's promise to give Cheng Qingrou a home, and the promise to buy Cheng Qingrou a house, in the other party's squandering, the conflict finally broke out! The two had a big quarrel, and a cold war started, and the one-month cold war didn't bring about Cheng Qingrou's admission of a mistake, but because she thought that Zhou Zekai wouldn't make money and couldn't afford to support her, Miss Cheng's family, so she decided to break up with Zhou Zekai and return home. Home.

After Cheng Qingrou made this request, Zhou Zekai also begged in a low voice, but the other party was unmoved, and said that Zhou Zekai was worthless, it had been more than half a year, and he couldn't even afford a house! Say Zhou Zekai is a coward! In this battle, Cheng Qingrou stabbed Zhou Zekai's heart with the sharpest knife, making him dripping with blood.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Zekai drank so much wine at night, and the family was in such a mess.

Thinking about everything clearly, Zhou Zekai swallowed his clouds and smoke. It has been a long time since he enjoyed this feeling of free smoking. In the past, he always restrained himself, but now, he suddenly felt that he should also change. , artist? Shouldn't all require a special change?

In this way, in the icy cold wind, Zhou Zekai stood from 4:30 to 8:30 in the morning, a full four hours, but it made him calmer, enjoying the sunrise and experiencing the cold, and opened the room in Cheng Qingrou When the door was about to go out, there was a gust of cold wind in front of him, and he shivered.

But she has already packed her luggage, and she has notified her parents that someone will come to pick her up. Her previous choice was wrong. Now, she must go home and listen to her mother. It's time.

Pulling her luggage and walking out of the room, she found that the room was completely free from the clutter of last night, and Cheng Qingrou saw Zhou Zekai standing by the window at a glance. The window was open, and the sunlight outside was a bit cold, making Cheng Qingrou frown , She is really tired of this man, who was so gentle and romantic before, but why, how did he become like this?

It was only when the two got together that Cheng Qingrou discovered that the talent she admired was good. The other party did have a special talent in painting, but talent can't be eaten as a meal. After more than half a year, it has earned a lot of money. More than 400,000 yuan. In the past, this 400,000 yuan is just her pocket money for a few months. The monthly performance of their Cheng's enterprise is easily tens of millions, okay?

Facing the back of the other party, Cheng Qingrou smelled a smell of smoke and became even more disgusted.

"Hey, I'm leaving, don't look for me anymore, we're done."

Two people who might have loved each other before, when they got to this point, they didn't even want to call each other's name.

Zhou Zekai had heard the movement in Cheng Qingrou's room a long time ago, and when he heard this again, he turned his head to look at the source of the sound. The delicate-looking woman in a white woolen coat, her eyebrows and eyes are still a little high, as if a god in the sky is looking at the ground. Humans in general, with alms.

"Um."

Given such a one-word answer, Zhou Zekai was expressionless at the moment. He knew that as long as his wish-maker was around, they would meet one day sooner or later. Sooner or later, but sooner or later they would meet again.

Cheng Qingrou was still aloof at first, thinking that Zhou Zekai would beg her not to leave again like last night, and even began to decide in her heart what kind of words she would reply if the other party begged, but she never expected that the other party would Such indifference made Cheng Qingrou feel a little uncomfortable, and the expression on her face was a little stiff.

"Then, take care of yourself."

At this moment, everything she said turned into embarrassment. After Cheng Qingrou finished speaking, she looked at the other party without making a sound. She turned her head and dragged her luggage and left. It was so indifferent that she just wanted to leave immediately.

After the other party left, Zhou Zekai looked away and walked towards the studio. In this three-bedroom apartment, apart from the room where Zhou Zekai and Cheng Qingrou lived, the other room is Zhou Zekai's special studio.

Walking into this studio, Zhou Zekai sat in front of the drawing board. After finishing the paint, he started to paint with a blank expression. He also dabbled in oil painting. Although it was not the most exquisite, Zhou Zekai knew that it would make people The reason why an oil painting is handed down has never been technology, just like music, what remains in everyone's hearts is never the one with the best technology, but the one that can touch people's hearts the most.

Whether it was during the Republic of China, or when he was nine thousand years old, and those ancient careers that he didn’t want to mention before, Zhou Zekai’s painting level is unmatched by others. Personally speaking, he is more able to control ink painting, and even said , his paintings have reached the pinnacle, and Zhou Zekai's calligraphy.

But at this moment, Zhou Zekai still chose to slowly sketch out this oil painting on his drawing board. It was a mottled world with various colors intertwined together. In the afternoon, Zhou Zekai stopped his brush and looked at another world in the painting, but the other side was completely blank.

Earlier, the teacher called him to ask if he would participate in this year's Hundred Flowers Painting Competition in China. Originally, Zhou Zekai didn't plan to participate because of Cheng Qingrou's matter, but now, Zhou Zekai didn't think so.

He not only wants to participate! And use this painting to win the championship! Become famous in one fell swoop!

He wants to see what kind of expression Cheng Qingrou, who said that we have no future and you can't afford to support me, will look then!

In this world, apart from celebrities who can become popular overnight, artists are no exception. After ten years of cold window, no one asks, and they become famous all over the world in one fell swoop, that's how it is!
