The speed of the car was not fast or slow, and after more than 20 minutes, he arrived downstairs in the community, and Li Ling took off his helmet and returned it to Wen Jinxing.

"How does it feel?"

"It's very comfortable, and the driving skills are really good. ”

Wen Jinxing seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and said with a crooked smile: "Actually, it is more refreshing to ride a motorcycle in summer, and I can take you to the beach when the time comes." ”

"It's a good idea, and it's nice to imagine that everyone will ride together for a camping picnic at the next party. Li Ling glanced at the time on his phone and said, "Okay, it's late, go back quickly, Boss Wen has worked hard, thank you here!"

"I ......" Wen Jinxing's words that he had thought of in advance were suddenly gagged, and finally he just said in a slurred, "Okay...... Bye. ”

As soon as Li Ling walked to the door of the community, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and it turned out to be the phone of Wen Jinxing, who had just said goodbye.

"What's wrong? Did I drop something?"

"You turn back. ”

Li Ling turned around and saw Wen Jinxing walking slowly towards her with a smile, taking a step and saying a word.

"Both-see-jun-son-cloud-hu-no-happy. ”

Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it?

Li Ling instantly understood what this meant.

He got closer and closer, until the two of them stopped when they were less than half a meter away, and there was a shy look on his face that he had never seen before. Li Ling hung up the phone and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, only to see him take out a beautiful small gift box from his trouser pocket, with the name of an internationally renowned brand printed on it, and when it was opened, it was a beautiful silver bracelet inlaid with three amethysts.

"Can I put it on for you?" Wen Jinxing's voice trembled slightly.

The person in front of him was a friend who had been laughing and playing with each other for eight and a half years from middle school to college, and this sudden gentleness made Li Ling at a loss.

For a while in junior high school, the news that Wen Jinxing liked Li Ling was in full swing.

The rumor version is that when the boys in the dormitory asked Wen Jinxing which girl in the class he liked, he directly replied no or shook his head, but when he read Li Ling, he just smiled and didn't speak. Later, if the teacher happened to answer the question by clicking on the names of the two people in class, the class would immediately burst into a commotion.

Li Ling didn't care very much, because in her heart, as long as she socialized with others at an appropriate distance, she was not afraid of rumors.

At the age when love is first blooming, a smile and a smile may be extended into a reverie-inducing story. There are many men and women in the class who are matched, and there are several of her scandal objects, including Mo Ziyu, and Wen Jinxing said that his ideal type is Lin Daiyu, and Li Ling is not an introverted woman, and her personality is very different.

It's just that after a long time, he will ask Wen Jinxing out of curiosity: "Is it really fake?"

"Do you want it to be true or false?"

Although it was a rhetorical question, Wen Jinxing's eyes were very sincere, and Li Ling was a little panicked.

"Are you supposed to ...... You really like me, don't you?"

Wen Jinxing flatly denied: "You think beautifully, those guys are just boring nonsense, if you are not happy, I will tell them not to make trouble." ”

Li Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly everything went back to normal, she took the rumor as a joke, and she didn't feel at ease, still seeing Wen as a dead friend who had a common language. If there is no accident, Wen Jinxing will be a lifelong friend, and she didn't expect him to have more affection for her than a friend.

There is such a person, you will compete with him in poetry, you will discuss ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literary works with him, you will share interesting stories with each other in ordinary life, you will mercilessly urge him to study in public, you will persuade him to drink less carbonated drinks, you will be amused by his humorous words, but you will not like him.

For the past, Li Ling has always thought that it is pure friendship, she doesn't want this relationship to change, and she wants to make it clear directly.

"I'm sorry...... I can't take it. ”

From beginning to end, Li Ling didn't look at Wen Jinxing, and he didn't know what kind of expression he had. After several seconds, Wen Jinxing remained motionless, as if frozen in ice.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Wen Jinxing snorted suddenly: "Why are you? I gave you a bracelet You are nervous, my mother bought it and found that her wrist was too thick, and she was too old to wear this thing, so let me give it to a friend." Don't be sentimental and think that I bought it for you. ”

These words made Li Ling stunned, and he questioned, "Why did you just chant that poem?"

"Isn't it strange that a handsome boy like me likes to chant a poem or two anytime and anywhere?

Li Ling glared at Wen Jinxing and said word by word: "I-no-yes." ”

Wen Jinxing covered the gift box and stuffed it into Li Ling's bag, turned around and ran away without waiting for Li Ling to react, and left a sentence after riding the car: "What was given to you is your thing, and how to deal with it is your business." ”

Before he could figure out what this meant, he left as soon as he slipped away, and in desperation, Li Ling had to decide to keep the bracelet and return it to him the next time they met, but the next meeting was probably a year later, because as soon as the short seven-day holiday ended, Li Ling had to return to work. Even as an intern, he worked the same hours and intensity as a regular employee, but Li Ling did not rest for a few days during the holidays, and spent most of his time on the original painting of the Santu River.

After the design was completed under Mucha's guidance, the color began. In fact, coloring is Li Ling's weakness, before the main painting characters, whether it is a comic book character or a costume character, most of them only need to be colored, do not emphasize the change of light and shadow, she herself does not have a good grasp of the light source color, environmental color, and this time the scene to be painted is mysterious and magnificent, the coordination of the picture, the overall lighting, color sense and atmosphere are particularly important, so she specially went to Mucha to make up for the lesson.

"The three major aspects of coloring are color identification, color variation, and color contrast...... The main colors used in the large area of the Santu River in our painting this time are black and red...... Use a large soft pen to spread the relationship between light and dark on the lower layer of the sketch, creating some black and white tones to strengthen or weaken the outline of the ship...... You can fill the picture with a stacked color...... Use light and shadow to express the three-dimensional sense, and the bright layer shines ......"

Mucha taught very patiently, and Li Ling and Dabao also absorbed it quickly, practicing constantly, and basically worked from 9 to 9 every day. The three of them are all people who strive for excellence, and after repeated revisions, they finally rushed out of the finished product before the normal off-duty time on the last day, and the three of them are ready to go to the antique restaurant to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and reward themselves for so many days of hard work.

Before leaving, Li Ling went to the bathroom to go to the toilet, and when he passed through the safety exit, he heard intermittent human voices coming from the stairwell.

"Uh-huh, okay, I'll go back later...... Buy bear biscuits for Nannan, I remember...... It's hanging. ”

It's Xiao Guanqi, it sounds like it's supposed to be talking to his wife. It's really surprising, it turns out that the man who is mean outside still looks gentle to his wife, and his image finally adds a little bit to Li Ling's heart. I didn't want to hear it, Li Ling didn't stay anymore, and continued to walk forward, but a familiar female voice sounded in the corridor, and she couldn't help but go back to the door.

"You liar, you obviously promised to accompany someone to celebrate your birthday! That woman will go home as soon as she urges you!"
