Murong Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, taking the opportunity to ask Qin Nan if she could bring them out to play in the future. Qin Nan looked up at Chi Wei and Pi Yuan, then turned to look at Bai Hao.
Bai Hao calmly said, "Whatever you want." Qin Nan nodded, and Chi Wei and Pi Yuan's eyes lit up with joy. They then started discussing with the equally delighted Murong Xue where they would go to play in the future.
Lu Zeqi really wanted to join the conversation; he was a playful person. However, because he was driving, Zhou Miao ordered him to shut up. Qin Nan covered her mouth and laughed. Lu Zeqi immediately started complaining that Zhou Miao was unfair to him. Zhou Miao retorted angrily, but since he couldn't lay a hand on him, he didn't.
Qin Nan watched the group chatting animatedly in front of her, then turned to look at the quiet Bai Hao. Bai Hao, unusually, opened his eyes and smiled at Qin Nan. Qin Nan looked at Bai Hao; this man didn't like to smile, but apart from when they first met, Bai Hao always smiled at her, his gaze gentle.
Qin Nan didn't really know how to respond to Bai Hao. He hadn't been involved in relationships for a long time. After thinking for a moment, Qin Nan took the initiative to place his hand in Bai Hao's palm and then interlocked their fingers. However, he still turned his head away shyly.
Bai Hao slowly tightened his grip on Qin Nan's hand, the corners of his mouth curving into a wider smile. Zhou Miao and Lü Zeqi saw Bai Hao's extremely gentle smile in the rearview mirror and exchanged surprised glances.
Fortunately, Bai Hao doesn't usually smile at others, and even when he does, it's a standard professional fake smile, devoid of any emotion. Otherwise, if Bai Hao were released in his current state, he would definitely be surrounded by crowds, and countless people would probably be captivated by him.
Lu Zeqi silently reached out and took Zhou Miao's hand. Zhou Miao tried to pull away, but Lu Zeqi said something softly and then let go of Zhou Miao. Zhou Miao didn't hear it clearly, but Lu Zeqi didn't repeat it and instead focused on driving.
Seeing this, Zhou Miao turned to look out the car window. His affair with Lü Zeqi was an accident. Zhou Miao was in a bad mood, and Lü Zeqi drank with him. The two drank too much, and when they woke up, what shouldn't have happened had already happened. Zhou Miao just thought it was an accident, but Lü Zeqi seemed to be serious.
Zhou Miao likes men. He doesn't mind Lü Zeqi pursuing him, but he feels awkward because the two of them have known each other for too long, have a good enough relationship, and a deep enough friendship.
If it were a stranger, Zhou Miao would choose to disappear, but not Lü Zeqi. Lü Zeqi was the only person who had stayed by his side and never left. Apart from Zhou Xuan, Lü Zeqi was the most important person to Zhou Miao. It was just that the change in their relationship made it difficult for him to adapt.
The three people who were having a heated discussion in the middle naturally didn't notice anything, and the group arrived at the exhibition hall in this way.
Before coming, Murong Xue took photos of indoor spaces, and Qin Nan thought it would be like a museum, just a building with a few floors. She didn't expect that this exhibition hall was an entire park with a total of twelve exhibition halls, each with two floors. In addition, there were separate restaurants, parking lots, and entertainment areas.
Qin Nan redefined her understanding of what it means to be rich.
After parking the car, Murong Xue greeted Qin Nan and led Chi Wei and Pi Yuan straight to the entertainment area. She had no interest in this art exhibition; if she hadn't had to come, she would have preferred to stay at school and attend classes.
Zhou Miao shook his head helplessly and, together with Lü Zeqi, explained today's art exhibition to Bai Hao and Qin Nan.
The organizer of the art exhibition is an entrepreneur who loves art and has many famous works. He holds an art exhibition every three years.
The twelve exhibition halls each showcase different works. There are three individual exhibition halls, each displaying only one person's work, and six exhibition halls featuring one masterpiece from each of the six groups.
There are also three exhibition halls called the Gold Rush Halls, which display paintings by various artists. However, everyone has moments of inspiration, so it depends on who is lucky enough to find a treasure.
Only the Gold Rush Pavilion allows artists to enter in person. Artists in other pavilions are in designated meeting rooms where they can discuss their paintings with potential buyers. The Gold Rush Pavilion is like a market, with stalls and no paintings can be hung on the walls.
Qin Nan: "The organizer is very interesting. It's not like most people would organize an art exhibition like this."
Zhou Miao: "Rather than saying it's interesting, it's more accurate to say that we don't know what he's up to."
Lü Zeqi: "Miaomiao!"
Zhou Miao snorted coldly and fell silent. Lü Zeqi smiled and changed the subject, saying that there were surveillance cameras everywhere and that one should be careful with what one said.
Lü Zeqi: "It's past 10:40 now. All the exhibition halls are open. Halls 1 to 3 are for individuals, halls 4 to 9 are for companies, and halls 10 to 12 are for gold mining. The restaurants open at 11:30."
The entertainment area is always open, with a cinema, video games, gym, and amusement park. Here are your tickets; they'll be checked at the entrance later. After that, all activities, facilities, and food inside are free.
As he spoke, Lü Zeqi took out two tickets and handed them to Qin Nan.
Bai Hao reached out and took the ticket. "There's a cocktail party tonight, it ends at 9:30. Meet here."
Lu Zeqi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll tell Xiaoxue."
Bai Hao: "Yes, it's fine for the two children to go back with her. They can be sent back tomorrow."
Lü Zeqi: "Okay, Xiaoxue will be so happy to know, but you two are really relieved!"
Bai Hao: "Mm."
Seeing that the conversation was about to become awkward, Qin Nan immediately spoke up, "Which exhibition hall are you going to see? Do you have any good recommendations?"
Lu Zeqi smiled and said, "You've come to the right person, Miaomiao. Which exhibition hall is the best?"
Qin Nan: "......"
Zhou Miao rolled her eyes at Lü Zeqi and replied to Qin Nan in a friendly manner, "Judging from your appearance, you're not exactly people who like these things. Why don't you go check out the gold panning exhibition hall? Even if you can't see the paintings, you can still enjoy the spectacle!"
Qin Nan: "Watching the show?"
Zhou Miao smiled but didn't explain. "You'll know when you get there."
The four of them entered the park together and then separated. Everything was just as Zhou Miao and Lü Zeqi had expected. It was too uncomfortable to walk with Qin Nan. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, and the ticket seller almost cut the wrong ticket because of Qin Nan's smile.
There was a lot of discussion around them. If Qin Nan and Bai Hao hadn't been walking hand in hand, many people probably would have come up to ask for their contact information.
This time, Qin Nan was embarrassed but did not refuse, and even took the initiative to hold Bai Hao's hand. There was no way around it, as many green eyes were staring at Bai Hao.
Qin Nan regretted coming with Bai Hao, and wished she hadn't bothered to dress him up; she should have just dressed him in his pajamas! But then Qin Nan thought about how Bai Hao would look after his shower—no way! It would have been better if he hadn't come at all!
Qin Nan pulled Bai Hao along a side path, where there were fewer people. Bai Hao obediently followed Qin Nan's lead. When the path was deserted, Qin Nan pulled Bai Hao back and led him in another direction.
Qin Nan: "Where to?"
Bai Hao: "Go see an old friend."
Qin Nan: "He Yan?"
Bai Hao: "Hmm, shh—"
Bai Hao gestured for silence, then led Qin Nan on a long detour before finally arriving at the restaurant building. Bai Hao put his arm around Qin Nan's waist and slipped inside.
Before Qin Nan could react, Bai Hao had already stuck talismans on her body. Someone appeared carrying a plate, and Qin Nan tried to pull Bai Hao away, but found that the waiter didn't seem to be looking at them and just walked past them.
Qin Nan was stunned. Bai Hao rubbed his head, put his index finger to his lips, and then led Qin Nan to follow the waiter to the door of a very large private room. The waiter knocked on the door, and someone inside opened it. The two took the opportunity to go inside.
