This is a self-portrait.

Unlike the portrait in the dark cloister of Trinity University, the background of this painting is not a dimly lit interior, but a daylit seaside. A young woman sits on a wooden railing, clutching her sunhat with her hands, smiling brightly.

"It's not like those self-portraits, isn't it? It's one of my favorites, and I don't like to follow the rules. Let those old-fashioned self-portraits go to God! I'm going to paint like this. ”

She flipped through her phone, and there were other drawings.

Her paintings are very colorful, but sunlight is the only subject of all the paintings. Just like her character, although she is already at the age of dying, she is still a sunny girl, young and energetic.

The paintings are all very good.

It's not that it's good-looking, according to Ye Kai's eyes, these paintings will not be worse than the paintings collected in the Palace of Versailles. This old lady is compared to those painters, or what she lacks is only fame.

Or she is already very famous, but Ye Kai doesn't know her.

She didn't show them off for the sake of showing off, she loved to draw them, and they contained her inspiration for a place. It makes her happy to share these things with her friends.

Ye Kai didn't ask too much when he looked at the painting, romantic and lazy, the Seine River flows slowly under the Pont of Love, this is Paris.

The sun was blazing and dazzling, and although it was a scene like yellow sand, Ye Kai seemed to be able to hear the mysterious string music.

"This should have been painted in Egypt, right?" Ye asked.

"That's amazing, yes, was this twenty years ago? or thirty years ago...... I don't remember exactly, but it must have been in Egypt. I rode a horse and the tour guide took us to see the belly dancers......"

Ye Kai handed her the mobile phone, and also found the work he drew when he moved, and said, "This is what I painted, and it is a little simpler than yours......"

She took it and looked at it, and was surprised, "What a beautiful horse." ”

It's a galloping horse.

The painting is nearly a meter long, and drawing a horse on such a paper would look monotonous if you don't pick out the details. Ye Kai meticulously drew each mane with a brush.

The unyielding expression of the horse jumped out, as if it was about to turn into a dragon in the next second. If a Chinese person sees it, it is easy to associate it with the horse flying and turning into a dragon.

There is also an inscription with a brush in the lower right corner of the painting.

Scholars must be Hongyi, and there is a long way to go. Tianxingjian and gentlemen should strive for self-improvement. The meaning of its tempering is not me, but really my Chinese nation!

Ye Kai said that he painted this painting not only to encourage himself, but to talk about the rising Chinese nation.

The old lady didn't know Huaxia characters, but she couldn't stop her love for these characters, and said again and again, "It's so beautiful, I haven't seen such a good Huaxia painting for a long time......"

She returned the phone to Ye Kai.

With a common hobby, the grandmother was more talkative, and she said that some of the Chinese painters she met when she was young were some of Ye Kai's long-famous masters, but they are no longer alive.

She is also eighty years old, and many of her friends are gone.

"Even though many of my friends are gone over the years, I haven't stopped traveling...... When I was younger, I dreamed of traveling all over the world, but then I realized that the world was so big that I could only go to some well-known countries.

What about you? You're so young, you're only 24 years old, what are your aspirations?"

Ye Kai replied, "Of course, it's traveling around the world." ”

"Really?" she laughed, "why do you have such crazy ideas?"

"Of course, I used to be a company employee, but when I was bored by my job, I thought, why don't I try something I didn't think about before? ”

It was a pleasure to have a chat with the old man.

will feel impatient and bored at all, Ye Kai didn't feel the slightest generation gap, maybe this is the reason why the two didn't talk about trivial things in life. Love and dreams, no matter what the age, will never go out of style.

There was wifi on the plane, and Ye Kai added her Facebook friend.

Except for Huaxia, it seems that people in all countries are using Facebook, anyway, no matter what country Ye Kai goes to, although he will also encounter some unique chat software, everyone will have a Facebook account.

Two hours passed quickly.

She is going to fly to the United States, and Ye Kai is going to transfer here to Huaxia. The two had to separate here, and at this time Ye Kai knew the name of the old grandmother.

Joan Hayworth.

Ye Kai searched on Baidu and found that this old lady's name is really not small. A well-known illustrator in the last century, he has drawn promotional posters for many movies.

Roman Holiday by Audrey Hepburn

Elizabeth Taylor, Cleopatra

There are all works of old ladies.

It was an hour after transferring to Huaxia's plane, and Ye Kai bought a lot of gifts in the duty-free shop at the German airport. Airports in Germany are full of Chinese.

If someone comes to this airport, they will definitely not get lost, and in order to make it easier for Chinese people to buy items in the shops at the airport, all the stores here support WeChat payment.

It's exactly the same as Huaxia.

When the time was up, Ye Kai left the airport and boarded the plane to Huaxia.

It's going to be a long flight this time.

Ye Kai found his place on the plane, put his things and lay down in his seat. Opposite him was a middle-aged man, in a suit and leather shoes, who was supposed to be a company manager.

He didn't seem to want to talk, and after lying down, he covered himself with a blanket and began to sleep.

Is...... Boring.

The accident brought to Ye Kai on the last plane was too interesting, which made him look forward to this long-distance partner he had never met, maybe he was also an interesting person?

But apparently Ye Kai's luck has run out.

Forget it, take a break and get ready.

The new book is still a little unwritten, and it will take about an hour or two to finish at its own pace. The next task is to revise the draft and reorganize it in words that are easier to read through.

Yes, it's an English book.

There is no precedent for this kind of theme in China, although it is said that Huaxia is a very tolerant country, Ye Kai is not sure if it can become popular.

He didn't care if the book made money, but he was afraid that the book would hit the streets.

200,000 words, if you use the speed of writing those two books before, Ye Kai can finish it in a day or two, and there will definitely be no idea of redrafting, how tiring, just making money, so why are you tired?

And this one is Ye Kai's exploration of the literary world.

Although this step directly explores abroad, it is also a kind of exploration by Ye Kai, and it is necessary to create a good environment for this book.

It's best to publish in the UK.

Ireland don't have to think about it, they absolutely can't find that the protagonist is British.

Every long-haul flight is a time crossing.

Sometimes after flying for more than ten hours, you will find that it is daytime when you set off, and it is still daytime after you arrive at the place, when to leave and when to land.

Jet lag is such a magical thing.
