Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

On the steps outside the art academy.

Liu Yifei was pulled along by Fang Yu, jogging along, her high heels clicking loudly.

She couldn't help but turn her head to glance at the sacred and solemn entrance of the art academy, and began to berate it in a low, breathless voice:

"Fang Yu! You're just going to leave Elder Qi there like that?!"

"That's the honorary chairman of the China Artists Association!"

"Even the chairman has to talk about labor laws."

Fang Yu opened the passenger door of the SUV parked by the roadside and casually shoved the person inside:

"Who says you have to chat after hanging up a painting? Besides, that pretentious act was just right; it would have fallen apart if I'd stayed even a second longer."

"In a minute, they'll shove a microphone to my mouth and force me to recite some art theory. I don't have time for that nonsense."

Liu Yifei sat down in the soft chair, patted her chest, and glanced at him sideways:

"Aren't you usually quite quick-witted?"

"Can they be the same?"

Fang Yu quickly climbed into the driver's seat, snapped on his seatbelt, and slammed on the gas:

"Who talks about artistic concepts with a decent person? It's too much of a brain drain. Filling your stomach is the most important thing."

The wheels rolled over the asphalt road and smoothly merged into the traffic.

"Come on, let me show you some authentic Nancheng braised pork and baked wheat cakes."

Looking at his self-righteous profile, Liu Yifei finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Just as the two were driving to the braised pork restaurant.

On Weibo, news about the opening of the National Academy of Painting's Youth Art Exhibition has completely exploded.

Several quick-fingered entertainment media outlets have already released unedited photos of Fang Yu and Liu Yifei at the National Academy of Painting.

The title is simple and direct.

[Fang Yu and Liu Yifei appear at the National Academy of Painting, their modern Chinese-style looks are absolutely stunning!]

In the accompanying photo, the two walk side by side into Exhibition Hall 1.

Fang Yu wore a dark-patterned long robe, exuding a refined and aloof air.

Liu Yifei wore a moon-white embroidered long dress, exuding a cool and noble air.

No retouching, no lighting.

The two's good looks withstood the close-up shots from numerous cameras.

The comment section was immediately flooded with fans who admired her looks.

[These two seem to have brought the story of a literary giant from the Republican era and a wealthy heiress who studied abroad to life, haven't they?]

[Fang Yu looks absolutely stunning in a long robe! His aura is off the charts!]

Where can I buy this dress worn by the celestial beauty? I need the link in three minutes!

[Wait, the focus isn't on the design, it's on the National Academy of Painting! What's Fang Yu doing there?]

Half an hour later, a professional, in-depth report in the culture section was published.

The first picture is the minimalist, blank-spaced painting, "The Lonely Bird".

The second picture is "Pine and Cypress Standing Tall with Four-Character Couplet in Seal Script".

At the end of the article, high-level on-site comments from Qi Wenhai and several vice chairmen of the China Artists Association were also included.

When netizens clicked on the larger image and saw the painting of an eagle standing atop a pine tree, along with the powerful and elegant seal script beside it, the comment section exploded.

Holy crap! This handwriting is amazing; you couldn't write it in less than a decade!

[The eagle drawing is so powerful! I don't understand the rest of the drawing, but that doesn't stop me from giving it a thumbs up!]

Yeah! This painting looks like something I can't afford!

However, when everyone scrolled down and saw the black bird standing on one leg with its eyes rolling upwards in the painting "Lonely Bird", the style of the painting instantly went astray.

The official on-site commentary was extremely high-sounding: "This is a contempt for vulgar rules, and an unyielding spirit."

But the interpretations from netizens were remarkably down-to-earth:

Good heavens! Isn't that me sitting at my desk on Monday morning? It's like I'm from another world!

[Holy crap, this pride is clearly the spiritual totem of the working class!]

[That eye roll was so expressive! I've saved it and will immediately change it to my WeChat profile picture!]

In less than half an hour, the black bird in the painting "The Lonely Bird" was captured by netizens and turned into various memes.

The accompanying texts were varied and diverse.

[Look at you, showing off.]

I don't want to go to work.

This has nothing to do with me.

A masterpiece of art displayed in the core exhibition area of ​​the National Academy of Painting has gone viral across the internet in an unexpected and outrageous way!

……

Meanwhile, as the entire internet was frantically sharing the black bird meme, a black SUV was skillfully weaving through the alleys of the southern part of the city, finally coming to a steady stop in front of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.

The signboard reads four large characters: Lao Zhao Lu Zhu (老赵滷煮).

"arrive."

Fang Yu pulled out the car keys and retrieved two baseball caps from the back seat.

"Quickly, quickly, arm yourselves!"

The two pulled their hats down low, put on their masks, and sneaked into the store like thieves.

The store was bustling with noise, and steam rose in waves.

A large iron pot, more than a meter in diameter, was set up at the entrance. The broth was boiling, with fatty intestines, lungs, and fried tofu floating up and down in the soup.

The unique aroma of the braised broth wafted up with the steam, and Fang Yu's DNA was stirred.

He led Liu Yifei through the noisy lobby and, familiar with the place, chose a simple semi-private room at the very back, partitioned off with wooden boards.

"Boss!"

Fang Yu deliberately used a rough voice to shout:

"Two large bowls of braised pork, please! And two bottles of Beibingyang soda, too!"

Liu Yifei listened to his strange accent and couldn't help but laugh so hard her shoulders trembled.

A short while later, the waiter came over carrying two large bowls of steaming hot braised pork buns.

The aroma of soy sauce mixed with the unique smell of offal instantly filled my nostrils.

Fang Yu's eyes lit up. He broke apart the disposable chopsticks and slapped them hard into his palm.

"Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he wouldn't stop me from eating!"

After saying that, he reached into the plastic basket on the table and grabbed two heads of garlic.

"Eating large intestines without garlic diminishes the flavor by half."

Fang Yu peeled garlic, looking quite solemn.

Seeing his greedy look, Liu Yifei shook her head helplessly and took a clove of garlic.

"I'll do it."

Her slender, fair fingers moved swiftly, peeling the garlic in a few quick movements and handing over two glistening white cloves of raw garlic.

Fang Yu took it, bit off half of it, and then picked up a piece of fatty, oily intestine and stuffed it into his mouth.

The large intestine is soft, glutinous, and rich, while the raw garlic is pungent and spicy.

The two flavors met in his mouth, and Fang Yu squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

Liu Yifei rested her chin on her hand, quietly watching him devour his food.

After watching for a while, she suddenly smiled.

"Is it tasty?"

"Absolutely amazing."

Fang Yu didn't even raise his head.

Liu Yifei sighed, her tone carrying a hint of playful regret.

"Well, seeing how well you performed at the art academy today..."

She paused deliberately, leaned forward slightly, and exhaled a fragrant breath.

"I was thinking of rewarding you with a three-minute French kiss when we get back."

Fang Yu stopped chewing instantly.

He looked down at the half-clove of raw garlic in his hand, then looked up at Liu Yifei's red lips, which were so close to his.

Regret surged to the top of my head.

"That was too hasty!"

Fang Yu swallowed the fatty intestines in his mouth with great difficulty, feeling heartbroken.

"When I go out later, I'll immediately go to the convenience store and buy 100 yuan worth of chewing gum."

"Chew on Wrigley's, Extra, and Trident!"
