Chapter 8
Chapter 8
When Qin Qing arrived home, her mother hadn't slept yet.
She couldn't help asking her brother in a low voice, "What's the situation? Did you make a mistake or me?"
The man glanced back at her, with a slight gloat in his voice, "What do you think?"
Qin Qing pointed at herself, "Me? What's wrong with me? Haven't I been very good lately?"
Qin Lichuan shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
He walked in and drank the milk that He Yu had prepared for him, then went upstairs to get ready to rest, leaving Qin Qing to stand where he was and accept her mother's trial.
While the man was pulling on his tie, he went upstairs. Qin Qing took a second look at her brother, feeling that he was acting weird today.
Turning to look at my mother, the smile on her face was full of flattery, "Dear Mommy, do you have something to tell me?"
He Yu has brought her two children to the present, but she still has her own method in mind.
Qin Qing has also reached the age when she should fall in love. She is not against it, she just wants to hear Qin Qing's thoughts.
"Is there someone you like recently?"
Qin Qing was taken aback, a little funny, "Mom, what are you talking about, I have someone I like and I will tell you as soon as possible, but I haven't yet."
"Really?" Mother Qin didn't seem to believe it.
Qin Qing stretched out her finger and assured her mother, "Really, I swear, Mommy, you trust me."
He Yu didn't ask any more, "Believe you, is there anything you want to say to Mommy recently?"
Qin Qing smiled and hugged her arm coquettishly, "It's just that I suddenly have something I want to do recently." She said, "I recently met a new friend, his name is Xia Chen."
He Yu frowned when he heard about the new friend.
Qin Qing hurriedly explained, "It's not the kind of friend you think, but a very good person. My brother also knows him. He is the one who saved me last time. He is very good."
"Oh?" Mother Qin signaled her to continue.
Qin Qing was well protected by her mother and Qin Lichuan since she was a child. Even in the matter of not having a father, she never showed much pain, her ability to accept was much faster than ordinary people, and she always behaved very sensible.
"Hey, don't think about it too much. It's definitely not what you think. You just think that he is really nice and attractive. Being my Qin Qing's friend makes me look good, especially because he is very good at painting. , and has been working as a volunteer in the orphanage, and I went with him to spend Christmas with the children today."
Qin's mother nodded and listened to her, her expression gradually softened.
Standing at the stairs, Qin Lichuan listened to Qin Qing telling her mother about Xia Chen's well-being one by one, and suddenly realized why she lost her composure tonight.
Such a good Xia Chen, he really has no reason not to be tempted.
It's just... When did he become such an indecisive person again? Qin Lichuan laughed at himself, then went downstairs.
"Are you going to have a meeting today?"
Qin Qing glanced at her brother, and then said to He Yu amusedly, "Last time I thought my brother fell in love with Siyi, but who would have thought that he would actually say that compared to Siyi, he still has the possibility of falling in love with Xia Chen?" Bigger, mom, do you think it’s funny or not, my brother is so old and doesn’t have a girlfriend yet, and he also said he likes Xia Chen, do you think it’s my brother’s problem or Xia Chen is too good?”
He Yu glanced at his son in surprise, and suddenly smiled.
"I got it, I got it, Xia Chen is good, Xia Chen is good at everything, then when will you invite him to our house as a guest?"
Qin Qing was in trouble when she heard this, "This possibility is a bit small, Xia Chen doesn't like to talk very much, so he will definitely feel uncomfortable when he comes to our house."
He Yu looked at Qin Lichuan, the man touched his nose and didn't say anything, went to the porch to pick up the folder he had left behind, told them to go to bed earlier, and then went upstairs again.
……
It seemed that he was too hasty today, or maybe it was because he hadn't seen Qin Lichuan for too long, Xia Chen frowned while holding the sketchbook, he couldn't remember the whole appearance of the man.
Even because of the darkness, most men hide in the dark.
Qin Lichuan didn't get out of the car from the beginning to the end, he only remembered the smile that the man saw through the lights on the side of the road when he slid down the window.
Xia Chen flipped forward, and Qin Lichuan appeared again and again intentionally or unintentionally, training his dictation ability.
I don't know what obsessive-compulsive disorder is, why I am so stubborn to draw people, besides the attractive and excellent appearance, is there anything else?
After thinking about it, he threw the pencil aside with a headache, and sat on the carpet in a daze.
Finally, when he took a shower and tidied up everything and was about to go to bed, he couldn't help but sit over. He remembered, how could he not remember, he remembered this kind of meeting again after a long absence.
The darkness can't stop his consciousness. With his understanding of the human body, even if he just glances at the sitting posture, he can outline the whole shape, not to mention...he has drawn Qin Lichuan many times.
The proportion of standing, the proportion of sitting posture, and the whole movement are imprinted in his mind, but Xia Chen attributes all these to the reason of being too professional...
He changed the pencil, took out a water-based pen, and drew Qin Lichuan's upper body in one go. The lines were not as thick as usual, and the effect of the drawing was faintly visible, especially the lower body was hidden in the night. He randomly sketched a few rough lines The dynamic is dropped.
Forget it, so be it.
After Christmas, it is New Year's Day. During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Xia Chen didn't have to rush to work, so he took his drawing board with his professor to sketch in villages in border counties.
Xia Chen didn't talk much, but the professor talked a lot. The two chose to live in a small farmhouse hotel, and after a short rest, they went out to look around. The professor talked to him all the way.
"I think Siyi is a nice little girl, but why did she get sick before she left, you can call again and ask." He told Xia Chen.
Ren Siyi originally wanted to come with her, but the night before she left, she found that she was in the cold season once a month, so she had no choice but to give up.
Xia Chen pursed his lips and took pictures with the camera to choose the scene.
Professor Yang looked at him and clicked his tongue twice, "You kid, you are too honest. People fall in love in college. Look at the monitor of your class. He looks like that and has a girlfriend recently. Why don't you worry? Woolen cloth?"
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips, "This kind of thing can't be rushed..."
"Why don't you rush, you just don't like to talk, girls want to be coaxed!" Professor Yang tirelessly instilled in him the idea that boys should have more romantic relationships in college.
Xia Chen thought of something, turned around and looked at the old man, "You mean you want me to chase after Ren Siyi?"
Professor Yang knocked on his head resentfully, "Yes! It's rare that you finally understood!"
Xia Chen couldn't bear to hit him, but seeing that he was still going to talk, he couldn't help it, "Siyi has a boyfriend, you better stop messing around."
Professor Yang, "..."
The old man held his heart and couldn't accept it, and then muttered to him, "Tell me, how can you make people run away with others when you stay with them all day long?! You child... really, really stupid !so stupid!"
Xia Chen, "..."
The two turned around the nearby woods and low hills, and finally looked at several popular ice fishing spots and farm villages nearby. Finally, the professor decided to choose the ice fishing spot next to the small farm yard.
Xia Chen has no objection. He is not good at painting landscapes. He came here to learn from the professor, and he can do whatever Professor Yang says.
When the two of them came out with their things in the afternoon, some people had already gathered by the edge of the glacier.
In fact, it is very painful to come out to sketch in this kind of weather. The temperature is below zero, and it may rise to above zero between noon and afternoon. Xia Chen is dragging two painting boxes, and the professor is carrying two small stools and painting steps.
But as he walked, Xia Chen felt that his eyes were dazzled, the people in front who were digging ice? ? ?
Professor Yang fell silent after talking. He turned his head and looked at Xia Chen staring at the people on the ice in a daze. He took a few steps back and asked him, "Want to go fishing?"
Xia Chen shook his head, "...No." Then he followed the professor and walked forward.
The two sat down at a spot by the glacier, and the professor talked to him about composition while looking into the distance, "It just snowed yesterday. composition."
Xia Chen took out the camera and gave him a look, and when he was selected, he put the two painting boxes on the ground and opened them up.
……
Wearing a long black down jacket, Qin Lichuan sat on the ice and looked at two small dots not far away. Hearing Shen Yifei's Liang Ming's voice, he couldn't help being a little happy.
He knew that Xia Chen was going to come here to sketch, and after checking, it happened to be Liang Ming's hometown, so he thought of coming here out of boredom to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, God really helped him.
Liang Ming had just retired from the army and had been staying with the elderly in his hometown for the past few days. As soon as he said that, he hit it off with Shen Yifei, and the two drove over.
"Hey, I said Ming'er, aren't you just thinking about starting a business? I think the scenery here is good. Why don't you waste resources and try to open a farmyard fishing ground or something? It seems to me that there are quite a lot of people. "Shen Yifei and Liang Ming talked while digging a hole.
Liang Ming glanced around, "The development has already started, I don't know if we can catch up with the wave of making money."
"Tsk, I think it's feasible. Why don't I invest and you manage?" Shen Yifei has recently started to take over the family's business slowly. Unfortunately, the people in the company don't accept him very much, and he feels very depressed.
The two of them were talking and didn't hear Qin Lichuan's voice, so they all looked over, "Hey, I said, you suggested to come here, why are you still not moving, and by the way, let my buddies pay attention, do you think this project can be successful? ?”
Qin Lichuan turned his eyes back to the two of them, and lifted his lips, "I think the development here has just started, does this fishing ground have an owner?"
Liang Ming shook his head, "Not yet, the villagers are taking care of it."
"Where's that small farmyard?" Qin Lichuan asked.
"It belongs to my family. My cousin bought the land a few years ago." Liang Ming said, "You mean to sell it all?"
The man nodded, "If you do it, it's basic. You can also build a small ice skating rink next to it, which can attract children. On the glacier, there is an ice fishing ground. When it thaws in summer, it will be an ordinary fishing ground. Shen Yifei brought a few people over to investigate, to see if there are other projects, the plan will be done together at that time, since it is his own site, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes."
Shen Yifei gave him a thumbs up, "Amazing, as expected of my buddy, you can come up with so many projects in this wilderness, I must give you a thumbs up."
Seeing that the two of them had been chiseling for a long time, Qin Lichuan couldn't help kicking Shen Yifei, "What are you doing? Talk as soon as you speak, and don't stop moving your hands!"
"Hey, that's cool, let's do what the boss says." Shen Yifei said, "Follow Mr. Qin and have meat to eat."
This ice fishing is really not something that ordinary people can do. Shen Yifei sat and fished for a while, and then jumped up and down, "It's too fucking cold, I have to get up and move around."
Qin Lichuan himself felt a little cold, and couldn't help but look at the master and apprentice not far away. Professor Yang and Xia Chen were both sitting steadily.
Shen Yifei walked around Liang Ming, "I said that my brother is worthy of coming out of the army. He can stand still in the wind wearing a coat. Let me tell you what you have experienced in the army. Your physique has mutated." He patted Liang Ming on the shoulder and tried it.
The other party proudly gave him the middle finger, "There is no mutation, and you are not comparable to a white chicken. Dude, come out to keep fit, and drink too much fat."
Shen Yifei refused to accept it, "I've been exercising all the time, why don't you see if my abs are showing?"
……
When Shen Yifei spun around twice and sat down, Qin Lichuan got up from his seat, "I'll go around and you two will fish first."
Liang Ming felt the fishing line in his hand move suddenly. Just as Shen Yifei wanted to tell Qin Lichuan to see if there was any hot drink around and bring him back to warm his hands, he was silenced by Liang Ming's booing.
When he looked at Qin Lichuan again, he had already walked away.
Professor Yang usually talks a lot, but he is very focused when painting.
On the contrary, Xia Chen, who has been quiet all this time, can't sit still today.
Professor Yang looked back at him several times, "Is it cold?"
Xia Chen nodded, then stopped and stood up to move around.
When Qin Lichuan came to him, he had just put his hand in his pocket, Xia Chen was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the place where the man was sitting just now, unable to hide his surprise.
The man laughed, "Have you seen me long ago?"
"Well, I saw you digging ice when I came here." Xia Chen said honestly, but couldn't help moving, it was really cold.
Qin Lichuan looked at the paintings of the two, his eyes filled with amazement, it was the first time he had seen Xia Chen's oil paintings, and the last time he hung sketches on the board in class.
"It's very beautiful." He said sincerely, looking at the bleak scenery again, he didn't think it was very beautiful, but the painting really had such a taste.
Xia Chen's painting style is rather bleak and beautiful, while Professor Yang has a thick and majestic feeling.
Professor Yang was a little surprised when he saw that the two knew each other, but he just tilted his head and said, "If you want to play, go and play for a while and then come back. We are here for three days, so there is no rush."
Seeing this, Qin Lichuan reached out and took a few warm babies out of his pocket and handed them to Xia Chen, "Put them on your body to make them warmer."
Xia Chen hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it.
I stuffed two into the professor's hands first, and then pulled off the clothes to stick them on myself.
Qin Lichuan saw that he had pasted one on the side of the down jacket, but it didn't get anywhere, so he couldn't help but say, "Bring it here, I'll stick two on the back for you without taking off your clothes."
The person who was pulling his clothes was taken aback for a moment, suddenly he was a little overwhelmed, and a touch of pink slowly rose from the tips of his ears.
The author has something to say: how to stick it on the back without taking off the clothes, curious...
