056 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 55

55: Encounter at the exhibition

Zhou Yuanchuan has a slim figure and fair skin. He wears a light blue horizontal striped stand-up collared shirt and a jacket of the same color on his arms. He is concentrating on a photograph on the wall. The soft sunlight at three o’clock in the afternoon slants through the stained glass in the exhibition hall, making the man’s profile clear, gentle and quiet.

When Qiao Qiao was still hesitating whether to say hello, Zhou Yuanchuan happened to turn his head. When he saw Qiao Qiao, his eyes showed a little surprise. It seemed that he didn’t expect to meet her here, but he immediately smiled and asked naturally: “What a coincidence, are you coming to see the exhibition too?”

“Yes, yes, I didn’t expect to meet you!” Not to mention how happy she was to meet her acquaintance Qiao Qiao, she waved her hands exaggeratedly, showing a rare enthusiasm, “Long time no see, so you are interested in this kind of photography exhibition!”

To be fair, Qiao Qiao still likes Zhou Yuanchuan very much. He gives people a very soft feeling, like a beam of light. There is no aggressiveness, and it will not sting you suddenly. On the contrary, when you are illuminated by him, you will feel warm, making people want to get closer involuntarily.

“Some of the works in this exhibition were taken by a friend who worked with me. He gave me a ticket a few days ago, and I wanted to stop by and take a look.” Zhou Yuanchuan’s eyes swept over Dong Yan, who was walking behind Qiao Qiao, and said with a smile, “What about you? Are you dating?”

“It’s not a date…” Dong Yan was present and Qiao Qiao couldn’t explain anything, so he could only explain vaguely, “I attended a class reunion today, and a friend introduced me to him at the party-”

“Hello, my name is Dong Yan. I am a PhD candidate at XX University.” Dong Yan took the lead in reaching out his hand.

Zhou Yuanchuan stared down at Dong Yan’s hand for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand, without saying his full name, and simply said, “My surname is Zhou, hello.”

Dong Yan was obviously a little unhappy.

Qiao Qiao also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. She quickly smoothed things over and said, “Since we met, let’s go shopping together. This exhibition hall is so big, and we have only visited one-tenth of it.”

She thought for a moment and then boldly added: “Otherwise, how about we have dinner together tonight?”

Her original intention was to use Zhou Yuanchuan to separate from Dong Yan in a reasonable way. After all, if this trend continued, she might not be able to run away to have dinner with Dong Yan tonight. Now that she finally met an acquaintance, she might as well expand the date between two people to a three-person date, clearly conveying the signal “I want to get together with this friend tonight” and let Dong Yan leave on his own initiative.

Zhou Yuanchuan laughed when he heard this: “Okay.”

Qiao Qiao looked at Dong Yan expectantly. Unexpectedly, Dong Yan also nodded: “Okay.”

…

QAQ This is different from what the script says!

So for most of the next time, Qiao Qiao was sandwiched between the two men like an Oreo sandwich. Needless to say, Zhou Yuanchuan had a good figure and appearance, and his movements were elegant and bookish. Dong Yan seemed to know that he was too crushed by the Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway, so he turned to focus on the connotation. Every time he walked in front of a work, he would always express some opinions. No matter what the content was, he would always focus on the major he was good at. Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment.

“Such light and shadow are very precise,” Dong Yan said, pointing to a painting of a sunset covering the earth. “The photon beam with wave-particle duality looks both unstable and real. I have rarely seen this in other works.”

Qiao Qiao raised his hand weakly: “I don’t understand…”

“Ah, you mean wave-particle duality, right?” Dong Yan laughed, “Wave-particle duality is-”

“Wave-particle duality.” Zhou Yuanchuan gently touched Qiao Qiao’s head, “To put it simply, light can be both like a wave and a particle, and will show different properties depending on different conditions.”

“Oh.” Qiao Qiao frowned, “I’d better take a good look at photography.”

Dong Yan glanced at Zhou Yuanchuan, who responded with a harmless smile, seeming to say, ‘I only know this much, I am a complete layman.’

The three of them took a few more steps, and this time it was a giant photograph, showing the neat arrangement of atoms under an electron microscope.Qiao Qiao always felt that such a thing could be used as a photographic work.It’s just a magnification of some things that are usually difficult to see with the naked eye. It doesn’t require any skills at all.

“The beauty of matter.” Dong Yan stood in awe in front of the photograph and sighed from the bottom of his heart, “Our world is made up of these little things brick by brick. They embrace each other and are powerful. Isn’t it incredible?”

Seeing Qiao Qiao’s lack of interest, he continued to explain: “Don’t underestimate them. The electromagnetic force between atoms is much greater than you think.”

“How much power can something so small have?”

“It’s very big.” Zhou Yuanchuan said calmly, “When you jump down from the building, if there is no electromagnetic force between atoms, you will fall through the earth’s crust and fall into the earth’s core. The force of their cohesion is far greater than the gravity.”

“Oh, so awesome.” Qiao Qiao suddenly realized it. She asked as if she suddenly remembered something, “Didn’t Mr. Zhou… study the universe? So he also studies such small things?”

“The end of the great is the very small.” Zhou Yuanchuan replied with a smile, “Physics is all connected.”

“You also study physics?” Dong Yan, who heard the conversation between the two, turned around. As if he was quite surprised, he typed Zhou Yuanchuan up and down again and said, “Then it seems we should get to know each other again. Are you also a PhD student?”

“No.” Zhou Yuanchuan shook his head, “I have graduated.”

“Actually, you should study further if you have the chance. After you get a doctorate, you will see things from a different perspective.” Dong Yan smiled knowingly, showing a somewhat regretful expression, “I think you are still very talented.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, “You too.”

Qiao Qiao, who was standing in the middle, really didn’t know what expression to put on when facing Dong Yan. She’d better never tell him the truth!

Of course, the last three of them didn’t actually go to dinner together. Zhou Yuanchuan tactfully said that he and Qiao Qiao still had some work matters to discuss, so Dong Yan took Qiao Qiao’s contact information and left. In the end, only Zhou Yuanchuan and Qiao Qiao were left in the car.

“Blind date?” Zhou Yuanchuan started the car. There was a rare smile on his face, and the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, as if he was in a bad mood.

“Introduced by a classmate…” Qiao Qiao secretly pointed her fingers. She didn’t know why she felt so guilty suddenly, “It’s just that it’s hard to refuse.”

“What do you think he is better than me?” Zhou Yuanchuan turned his head slightly to look at Qiao Qiao and asked seriously, “You rejected me before, but now you are willing to try to get along with him. So what do you like about him? Can’t I do it?”

“Of course Mr. Zhou is very good!” Qiao Qiao explained hurriedly, “Mr. Zhou is good-looking and so powerful. He stands there like a model. Of course he is better than Dong Yan in every aspect!”

Zhou Yuanchuan snorted lightly, seeming to be impressed by Qiao Qiao’s praise.

“But…” Qiao Qiao’s voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and her pink face became a little red. Obviously these sincere words made her feel embarrassed, “Mr. Zhou stood too high and too far away. I feel that I am satisfied just to be able to see him. I don’t dare to think about touching anything. He can’t be from the same world.”

Zhou Yuanchuan didn’t answer. He turned the steering wheel and the dark car turned around on the side of the road and drove in the opposite direction.

“Hey, aren’t you going to eat?” Qiao Qiao looked out the window.

“Some people say they can’t touch me.” Zhou Yuanchuan sighed, “How could such a cruel thing happen?”
