Chapter 9
Qin Lichuan took the remaining warm patch in his hand, and then took another one off his body. Before anyone could react too much, he directly stretched it in from the back of his down jacket.
Xia Chen only wore a thin sweater underneath, and the man seemed to be able to directly touch his skin when he stretched it in like this. Qin Lichuan's heart was slightly touched, and he didn't stay long, and quickly stuck one on each side of his back.
Xia Chen, "..."
There was a slight difference in height between the two, and Qin Lichuan could clearly see the color of his ears.
After finishing all this, the man stuffed the one he had been warming into Xia Chen's hand, "It's still too thin, this is for warming hands."
Professor Yang couldn't help but glanced back at the two of them, as if he was invisibly despising the two big men who used to warm their babies.
Xia Chen touched his nose, and said awkwardly, "Let's go over there."
Qin Lichuan took a step back and turned around with him, "They're fishing on the ice over there, do you want to go and have a look?"
"Okay." Xia Chen nodded.
The two walked on the ice while talking, in fact, Xia Chen was already curious yesterday, "Is this ice really strong?"
Qin Lichuan looked down at his feet, "The temperature here is low, and the ice layer is very thick. As long as you don't dig into the ice layer intensively, the current flow of people and load will not be dangerous." He said.
Xia Chen was still a little terrified, after all, there was still a sign of the danger of entering the river by the river.
"Have you ever fished before?" Qin Lichuan asked him.
"No, there is no chance to come over." He replied.
Liang Ming has already caught one, and he heard Shen Yifei yelling from afar, "My brother will cook braised fish for you tonight, you can fish hard, get two more, and I will share with Lichuan as well." Catch it."
Xia Chen looked over there curiously, Qin Lichuan led someone forward, "Come here and try?"
Shen Yifei watched Qin Lichuan bring someone over, raised his eyebrows, "You know him?"
Qin Lichuan nodded, "Friend."
Xia Chen nodded towards the two of them, then looked down at the hole under his feet, and stretched out his hand to touch it.
The man pulled his hand back in time, "...Don't you still want to draw? If you stick it in, you won't be able to draw later."
Shen Yifei and Liang Ming looked at each other, and they both saw an inexplicable taste in each other's eyes.
"Okay." Xia Chen withdrew his hand with lingering fear.
Qin Lichuan brought him his ice fishing rod, "Try?"
Xia Chen took it and squatted down, and looked at Liang Ming's big fish that was still flopping in the bucket, a little eager to try.
Shen Yifei himself didn't have the patience to fish, so he came over from his side to watch the excitement of the two, "Okay, Lichuan, can we still meet acquaintances here?"
Qin Lichuan was too lazy to be poor with him, so he took a stool and stuffed it in front of Xia Chen for him to sit on, "Go back to your side, scare the fish away."
The two were standing and Xia Chen was sitting, there was a certain gap, Xia Chen raised his head and felt uncomfortable, so he simply didn't look at them.
Shen Yifei winked and brought his stool back from a distance and put it in front of Qin Lichuan, and then ran around for a stroll. He could see that fishing was not something he could do, it was too much a test of willpower.
Usually he can play with his mobile phone when he is bored, but now that the weather is so cold here, he can't reach out to play at all.
Qin Lichuan and Xia Chen sat in front of the cave and talked.
"Why do you come here to sketch, the weather is so cold." The man asked him.
Xia Chen glanced at Professor Yang not far away, "The professor said he was coming, so I came with me during the holidays." He said, paused, and then looked at Qin Lichuan again, "Are you here specially for fishing?"
The man pointed to Liang Ming who was still concentrating on sitting, "My friend's house is here. Come over to play. I don't have anything to do. Come here to join in the fun."
Xia Chen didn't think much about it, he glanced at Liang Ming, then continued to stare down at the fishing rod in his hand.
Very good, very natural, Qin Lichuan said secretly.
The moment the two looked down, the fishing line in Xia Chen's hand suddenly moved, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Lichuan.
Qin Lichuan said, "Pull!"
Xia Chen stared at the thing in his hand and didn't know where to put it. Liang Ming reminded not far away, "Take up the line."
The two pulled the pole together to take up the line, and when they were about to come up, Qin Lichuan let go to get the net again, "You carry it, put it here."
When a half-sized fish came up from the hole, Xia Chen couldn't help laughing, and nervously lifted the fish away from Qin Lichuan.
This was the first time Qin Lichuan saw Xia Chen's genuinely happy smile. When the two joined forces to throw the fish into the bucket, Xia Chen couldn't help but regretfully compared, "It doesn't seem to be as big as his."
"Then catch another bigger one later." Qin Lichuan comforted, seeing Xia Chen smiling like this is not easy.
Xia Chen glanced at Professor Yang not far away, "But I have to go back..."
The man nodded, "I'll walk back with you, and when I pass by the small shop later, I'll buy two cups of hot drinks to warm up the teacher."
"Okay." He looked up at Qin Lichuan, "You buy a cup too."
The man smiled, "Okay."
He didn't know how Xia Chen felt about him, but this time he got a corresponding return, this trip was worth it.
Small shops in small villages and towns don't have any milk tea or high-end hot drinks.
They are all boxed and bagged beverages warmed in hot water. You can buy three boxes of milk here for the price of a cup of milk tea. After the two chose, Xia Chen had already scanned the code to pay while the man was still flipping through his phone. up.
Qin Lichuan stared at him helplessly.
He handed Qin Lichuan a box of hot milk, "You invited me to dinner last time, and this time I will invite you."
Qin Lichuan laughed again, wiped off the water stains on the milk, opened it and took a sip, "It's delicious, thank you."
Xia Chen nodded and glanced at the brand, and suddenly said, "It's from Yili, a big brand."
The man was happy again, and followed suit, "Yes, a big brand."
Xia Chen's painting couldn't be finished today, and when the night gradually fell, the professor barely finished it, and the two of them packed up and dragged the painting box back.
Meeting Qin Lichuan and the others on the road, Shen Yifei glanced curiously at the two paintings carried by the professor, and sincerely admired, "The paintings are really good."
The professor smiled and said nothing, but Shen Yifei asked again, "Is this painting for sale?"
Xia Chen glanced at Qin Lichuan, and saw the man directly carrying him away, "This is a professor from University A. Now, he is one of the best oil painters in China. How much do you want to buy?"
Professor Yang noticed Qin Lichuan, and cheerfully asked Xia Chen, "You know all of this?"
"Not completely." Xia Chen said honestly.
Shen Yifei touched his nose in embarrassment, and muttered to Qin Lichuan in a low voice, "When did you know him, don't you have ulterior motives?"
Qin Lichuan gritted his teeth and cursed with a smile, "Get lost!"
On the contrary, Liang Ming raised his eyebrows, looked at Qin Lichuan and then Xia Chen, and then asked Professor Yang and Xia Chen, "Are you two interested in visiting our house? Xia Chen has a share of these two fish. I don't mind tonight." How about having dinner together?"
Xia Chen didn't speak, Professor Yang glanced at the two fish in his bucket, and boasted to Xia Chen, "Okay, you are indeed my student, and you have learned to fish after leaving for a while?"
Xia Chen shrank his neck, expressing that he was unable to bear this kind of praise, "...No, it's just luck."
"Okay, Xia Chen will go with you tonight, you are all young people playing together, I won't go as an old man, I have to go to bed early at night." Professor Yang patted Xia Chen on the shoulder.
"Professor Yang, I..." Xia Chen wanted to say something, but Qin Lichuan, who was walking beside him, took an oil painting box and carried it over, "Where are you staying tonight?" He asked.
Xia Chen gave an address, and Liang Ming looked at Qin Lichuan, "It's just across the street."
Qin Lichuan's eyes leaked a hint of joy, "That's okay, don't worry too much at night."
Shen Yifei sighed a little at the side, how many years this iron tree is, and it is finally about to bloom.
With Qin Lichuan's current status, he doesn't have anything to ask for. Unfortunately, he is very strange. He hasn't seen anyone around him for many years. It is the age when the needs are strong. Those who don't know think that there is something wrong with some aspects.
Shen Yifei and Liang Ming went back first, and Qin Lichuan followed them back to their place of residence.
Xia Chen watched Qin Lichuan chatting with Professor Yang, and suddenly found that Qin Lichuan seemed to be better than he imagined, and it seemed that Professor Yang admired him very much.
Now the two met because of their own relationship, Xia Chen sighed a little.
Slowly, it seemed that something in my heart finally melted.
The environment where the two lived was not very good, the floor heating was not very hot, and the air conditioner didn't work very well. The two of them didn't check too much when they checked in, and it would feel cold when they went back at night.
The boss is looking at you as foreigners, how can you treat me, and it's not good to make the two of you angry.
Seeing that he couldn't live like this, Qin Lichuan called Liang Ming.
After all, there was a local. Liang Ming was very quick to arrange for him in the farmhouse next door to his house.
Xia Chen and Professor Yang were very grateful. The dinner was prepared by Liang Ming's mother. To express his gratitude, Professor Yang gave today's painting directly to Liang Ming as a gift.
"Professor Yang is a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of University A, and now a painting is counted in units of [-]." Qin Lichuan introduced to Liang Ming's mother.
Liang Ming's mother looked like she had picked up a treasure, and she asked Liang Ming's father to hang it up quickly.
The few people I provoked couldn't laugh or cry, after all, they were people from a small town with a simple heart.
Fortunately, even if Xia Chen stopped him, "This painting needs to be taken out to ventilate the smell. It's not good for your health to keep it in the room at this time."
Only then did Liang's mother say yes repeatedly, and then went on to cook.
Two fishes were processed for dinner, one was braised in soy sauce and the other was stewed in soup. The taste of the farmhouse was very delicious for everyone.
After Professor Yang went back to bed at night, Shen Yifei dragged the other three to play mahjong. Xia Chen was not very good at it, so Qin Lichuan asked Liang's mother to make up a seat, and he sat in the back and taught Xia Chen how to play mahjong.
In fact, Xia Chen didn't really think about it, but he didn't want to disturb everyone's good mood, so Qin Lichuan half-pushed him to play, but it turned out that everyone was very kind, the atmosphere was very good, and the Liang family was also very warm.
Under Qin Lichuan's eyes, Shen Yifei gave Xia Chen several cards in a row. In the end, he and Liang Ming lost terribly, and Xia Chen and Liang's mother were evenly divided.
When he turned around and went back, Xia Chen secretly stuffed the money in Qin Lichuan's pocket into Qin Lichuan's pocket. He was not careless, he knew that everyone had been letting him in.
Shen Yifei looked at the movements of the two of them, and couldn't help but wink at Liang Ming. Liang Ming subconsciously went to see his parents. Fortunately, the two of them were concentrating on cleaning up and didn't look at this side.
Xia Chen directly put his hand into the man's pocket while Qin Lichuan wasn't paying attention, probably because he was afraid that he would be unwanted, so he acted a bit abruptly.
But Qin Lichuan seemed to be very useful, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows at Xia Chen when he touched the change in his pocket.
"Give it all to me?"
"Well, you helped me win." Xia Chen was a little embarrassed.
Qin Lichuan looked over his shoulder at the gossiping Shen Yifei behind him, turned around and took him out, "I'll take you back, do you want to come out to paint tomorrow morning?"
"Professor Yang said that you can walk around in the morning and go there when the temperature is higher in the afternoon, otherwise you won't be able to reach out." Xia Chen said.
Qin Lichuan nodded, "Then wake up tomorrow and send me a message, and ask Liang Ming to take you around to see."
"Isn't it too troublesome?" Xia Chen felt that it's not good to bother others all the time.
"Then I'll take you there?" The man said again, he knew Xia Chen's temperament, he accepted his life, and was afraid of troubling others.
Xia Chen bit his lower lip, took a few steps forward with downcast eyes, and said after a while, "Okay then."
Qin Lichuan silently curled the corners of his lips, and the child was finally matured a little bit.
Xia Chen lived in the same room with the professor. The professor was old, and he was a little worried when he went out. When he returned, he was already going to bed.
He habitually took out his sketchbook, and Professor Yang raised his eyebrows when he saw his movement, "Sketch?"
"...um." He responded, but when he opened it, he suddenly felt embarrassed in front of the teacher.
Professor Yang didn't plan to read it either, and went to bed after a while.
Only then did Xia Chen turn on the bedside lamp and start painting properly.
Compared with the past, Xia Chen thought a lot before writing, and meeting Qin Lichuan today was even more pleasant than ever, not a surprise, but a surprise.
Every time he went to a strange place, he was habitually depressed, but today it seemed that he had met Qin Lichuan, and the usual feeling was not so obvious.
Today he couldn't help drawing several pictures.
Qin Lichuan looked like handing him a warm baby.
Smiling and echoing that Yili looks like a big name.
I can't help but say when I helped them move things and change hotels.
And when he was given the change, he looked a little pleased.
He was afraid that one day he would never meet Qin Lichuan again, and he would forget the warmth he had encountered now, so he had to record it.
Xia Chen slept very late, and before going to bed, he posted an unprecedented post, which was different from what Qin Lichuan had seen in the past, it was not a picture, but a simple emoji of a little sun.
However, Qin Lichuan later found out that Xia Chen's posts were only visible to him.
Just as Xia Chen understands, most of the time, people don't post updates for themselves, but for others to see, but starting from this little sun, Xia Chen didn't want others to see his emotional changes.
Only Qin Lichuan was alone, and he wanted him to see it.
When Qin Lichuan saw his post, his heart shuddered slightly, and he went through all of Xia Chen's Moments for more than an hour, but he couldn't find anything other than pictures.
Only this little sun stands alone at the very top.
He couldn't help thinking, was it because of him?Is he still a little happy with me today?
After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that I was a bit shameless as an adult who was several years older than me, so I threw the phone aside and didn't think about it anymore.
In any case, what happened today was the most satisfactory result for him.
He told himself not to be too greedy.
