Love So Sweet

408 Ignored

Zhang Yi Hai was puzzled by the sudden change in Fang Su Jin’s attitude.

A few minutes ago, she was still shy around him. Suddenly, her expression changed and she was ignoring him.

A deep frown appeared on his face.

Seeing that the group was walking away, Zhang Yi Hai quickly picked up his pace to catch up with them.

He was still confused about what was going on, but Zhang Yi Hai thought that he could not leave Fang Su Jin’s side before he could understand what make her upset.

Did he say something wrong and make her upset?

The group of three entered the restaurant together. As he was the last to enter the restaurant, Zhang Yi Hai could only sit down next to Teacher Jiang while facing Fang Yu Ting.

A helpless sigh escaped him.

Zhang Yi Hai suddenly recalled something that he had done something similar in the past. Each time that some boys wanted to get close to his sister, he would also prevent them to sit close to his sister.

.....

For the first time, he had to experience what he had done to others.

Zhang Yi Hai hoped to get Fang Su Jin’s attention, but she was too busy talking to her mentor about the exhibition. He could only sit quietly and listen.

The waiter came to deliver their meal. But with Fang Su Jin ignoring him, Zhang Yi Hai could not eat his meal properly. Everything tasted bland to him.

Meanwhile, Fang Su Jin was aware that Zhang Yi Hai would peek at her each time he got the chance.

She wanted to tell him not to look at her that much.

However, she was too scared to look at him. Fang Su Jin was worried that someone would notice something if she turned to him.

As they were halfway through the meal, Fang Su Jin turned to her mentor and spoke, “Teacher Jiang, didn’t you say that you have something to talk about?”

The man’s expression lit up. “That’s right, I almost forgot. Su Jin, I have great news.”

Fang Yu Ting leaned over and listen to this great news as well.

“You do remember our plan to hold an exhibition in F Country, right?” Teacher Jiang started. He watched as Fang Su Jin nodded and continued. “I know that the early plan did not happen as we wanted because of the representative we talked to.”

Her lips turned into a faint smile.

When she started to paint under Teacher Jiang’s guidance, the old man had always instilled an idea to hold an exhibit in F Country. Later, it has become their dream to hold an exhibition in F Country.

Fang Su Jin was very happy when Mika told them that he was going to help them with this dream. After all, she was still young and was not a big name.

However, she did not expect that the man’s attitude would be so bad. Because of that, the idea to hold an exhibition in F Country did not happen.

It hasn’t been too long ago since the last time they decided not to think about an exhibition in F Country. Fang Su Jin did not expect her mentor was going to mention this dream again.

“But Su Jin, another agent came to talk to the Art Association just now,” Teacher Jiang continued. “The agent said, he wanted the bring this exhibition to F Country.” The smile on his face turned wider. “Everyone who was joining this Under Thirty Exhibition will receive the invitation for the exhibition in F Country as well. This exhibition will be a collaboration with the Art Association.”

The light in Fang Su Jin’s eyes lit up. “Teacher Jiang, really?”

“Un.” The older man nodded. “Just now, I was meeting the representative and the people from the Art Association. It was still in the discussion, but Su Jin, I can tell you that this time, we will be going to F Country. Ah, of course, I have to ask for your opinion first. If you did not feel like going, I would not force you either.”

“When is the exhibition?” Fang Su Jin asked.

“It might take a few months before it happened. But the representative assured us that he will try to bring this exhibition to F Country sooner,” Teacher Jiang said. “It should take two to six months to prepare. Anyway, there are a few other artists who will be joining this exhibition as well.”

Fang Yu Ting turned to his cousin and patted her hand. “Su Jin, this is good news. I think you should take this opportunity.”

“That’s right.” Teacher Jiang agreed. “This time, you don’t have to deal with the agent. Instead, the Art Association will talk to the agent for everyone. Su Jin, you don’t have to do anything other than showing up at the exhibition.”

Fang Su Jin took a deep breath to calm down. She did not want to be excited too early and ended up disappointed. “Teacher Jiang, let me think about this first.”

Teacher Jiang naturally understood what his student was worried about. “Alright.” He nodded. “Su Jin, you can take your time to think about it. There are still a few more days before this exhibition ends. I hope that by the time this exhibition end, you can give me your answer.”

“Teacher Jiang, I will.”

Their conversations around the table were quite lively.

Fang Yu Ting was concerned about his cousin and had asked Teacher Jiang a lot of questions regarding the upcoming exhibition.

Zhang Yi Hai sat quietly as he continued to listen. He was a little proud that Fang Su Jin would be holding an exhibition n F Country soon. He had always known that her paintings were good.

Once the meal ended, Fang Yu Ting paid for the meal and the group walked out of the building together.

Fang Yu Ting turned to his cousin and bid her goodbye before he left. Just as he was about to turn around, Fang Yu Ting seemed to have thought of something. “That’s right. Su Jin, why did you stay at this hotel? Usually, didn’t you always stay at The Orchid?”

Fang Su Jin glanced at Zhang Yi Hai and panicked when she saw that the young man was looking at her. “Brother Yu Ting, this place is closer to the exhibition hall. ”

Of course, the real reason was that Fang Su Jin was still uncomfortable after the misunderstanding from the last time. She worried that the people were going to recognize her.

“So it’s like that.” Fang Yu Ting nodded. “Then, I will leave first.”

Fang Su Jin heaved in relief when her cousin turned around and left. Then, there were only her, Teacher Jiang, and Zhang Yi Hai.

The three of them walked to the hotel together.

As they reached the building, Zhang Yi Hai stretched his hand and tugged at Fang Su Jin’s hand before she could leave. “Sister Fang, we need to talk.”
