Chapter 8: Miss
In a shady and quiet pavilion. Listening to the cry of Zhizhi, she sat quietly on the stone bench, and for the first time someone had painted a portrait of herself.
She sat up straight, like a serious schoolboy.
"Take it easy, your expression is very stiff, and it's not an exam, what are you nervous about?" Lin Ye joked.
"Don't worry, my level is okay, and my facial features will not be deformed. He lowered his eyes and pasted the paper. Looking up at her, the thumb and forefinger of his right hand rubbed the pencil.
Li Fei saw that his expression was very serious, and his dark eyes looked at him fixedly, which made her a little embarrassed, and she blinked.
He began to write, and his expression was even a little serious. Indeed, that's what he paints. It's the same with myself, when I face painting, when I get serious, I just have no expression.
She pursed her lips slightly, swallowing her throat, actually a little nervous.
Lin Ye raised his eyes to look at her, keenly aware of her small movements. Looking at her and asking, "Are you thirsty?" His eyes were fixed on her lips, and he shook his head instead of speaking.
"Nervous?" he smiled, "you can really rest assured that my professionalism is passable." If you don't draw well, keep it for me. He lowered his head and began to write, starting with her beautiful eyes......
The sound of his painting was drowned out by the sound of his painting in the tree, and she watched him paint, and indeed the way he painted was very charming.
She put her hands in front of her, like a doll, and stayed honestly, watching his every movement.
I don't know where he started drawing first......
Lin Ye occasionally raised his eyes to look at her carefully, and sometimes almost forgot to put pen to paper.
"......" He lowered his head and painted, just thinking that no one would disturb him at the moment, and he didn't even listen to the cry of Zhizhi.
This is more serious than an exam......
Instead of just sitting and sketching, she still wanted to talk to him more. However, his expression was very serious, and he didn't dare to disturb him.
Lin Ye saw her rubbing her fingers unconsciously, he raised his eyes to look at her, "Actually, you can speak, just don't exaggerate your expression." I'm drawing your eyes. ”
Actually, she wanted to see her smiling, and it was better to draw it.
But she answered, as if she wanted to say something, but her talking eyes were too beautiful.
He coughed softly, and occasionally the wind blew, and the dappled light and shadow swayed and shone on her neck. The slender gooseneck, he was looking at it seriously for the first time.
He withdrew his eyes and looked down at the painting, "Next time I'm going to paint a Danqing for you." ”
Li Fei was surprised for a moment, looked at him quietly, and smiled slightly.
Okay, if you have a chance, you will definitely ......
"Are you alright?" Li Fei was a little itchy from the mosquito bite. It made her a little unable to sit still.
Lin Ye suddenly came back to his senses when he looked at the painting, looked at her, and coughed lightly, "Okay." ”
When Li Fei heard this, he got up and walked over, stretching out his head to see.
"Still ......" Lin Ye looked at the painting and hesitated.
Li Fei saw that he didn't show himself, "What's the matter, don't you want to send me?"
"Hmm. "He deserves it.
Li Fei looked at him with some embarrassment on her face, she blinked, did not speak, and looked down at him holding a sketchpad in her hand.
Lin Ye saw that she seemed to be a little unhappy, he smiled, "A beautiful person like you has no characteristics, and it is also very challenging. Seeing that she was really calm and didn't speak, she sat down.
He added, "But I think it's the most beautiful, best portrait I've ever painted." As he spoke, he turned the board to show her.
When Li Fei heard what he said, she looked up at him, and when she looked at the painting, she was really speechless.
Is this me?
Lin Ye actually smiled when he saw her, and he smiled very shyly. The cheeks are slightly red and beautiful. "Why didn't you laugh like that?"
"......" Li Fei looked at him in surprise with wide eyes.
Lin Ye saw that she was about to reach out and take it, he suddenly stood up, "Do you like it?"
"Like. Li Fei then stood up and looked at his hands.
It turns out that he is really good at drawing.
She smiled and looked at him quietly, but she couldn't say anything when the words in her heart came to her lips.
She looked down at his dark eyes and smiled, "You draw so well!" She reached out again, only to see him raise his hand.
"Suddenly I don't want to give it to you. Lin Ye said bluntly.
"......" Li Fei was a little stunned, she withdrew her hand, "Why?"
"Keep it. ”
"......" Li Fei was surprised, she looked up at him and nodded, "Hmm." ”
Keep it!maybe......
"To ward off evil spirits?" Li Fei saw that he suddenly looked at herself seriously, she joked first, took a step back and sat down. Hold the drink you haven't finished yet.
Lin Ye smiled, sat down across from her, and put the painting away.
"It's just like you, and it's almost the same as painting two door gods. He didn't eat the cake, he watched her eat it slowly, just like the first time he saw it, but now it was a little more cute.
They chatted in the gazebo for a while, and gradually it was afternoon.
Walking out of the park along the way, Li Fei didn't tell him more about herself, she was actually admitted to Tongcheng University, she is also good at painting Chinese paintings, and likes to draw people.
She may have missed it like this, missed the beautiful youth, the beautiful people......
……
Walking back along the way home, Li Fei stood alone in the alley where no one was, looking at his long shadow, leaning against the stone wall, feeling uncomfortable, but there was nowhere to vent, so he could only bow his head and endure it alone.
Thinking about going to a strange place, never being able to draw again, sitting and sitting with things you don't like.
Maybe I'll never see him again......
She pulled out her phone and looked at the phone number he had left behind. She clutched her phone, trying to tell him and say goodbye.
A few words were typed into the phone, and she quickly deleted them. I couldn't think of what to say, she repeated it several times, and finally put away her phone.
Leaning against the stone wall, he sighed deeply.
The sound of clacking footsteps interrupted her musings, and she looked up at the mouth of the alley, where she gradually walked over to a person.
She blinked her moist eyes and turned her head to see the man approaching.
Gradually, Li Fei saw the man's appearance clearly, he was wearing a gray shirt and was tall.
"May I ask if Mr. Li Chengxi lives here?" Lu Junyu asked as he looked at the little girl with slightly red eyes on the other side.
"......" Rao is a hot August, listening to him ask like this, it will also make my back cold.
She thought for a moment and frowned at the man opposite, who was probably not more than thirty years old.
"You're looking for my grandfather?" she glanced at the man again.
"Mr. Li is your grandfather?" Lu Junyu couldn't help but be surprised that he had met his descendants here.
I saw that she was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was slim.
"Yes!" Li Fei nodded, she looked at him strangely, and it didn't look like a distant relative or something. Because the relatives of her family do not seem to be so rich.
"That's great! Hello! My name is Lu Junyu. Bought his paintings before. I like his paintings so much that I came to visit him today. ”
Li Fei looked down and saw that he was still holding a gift box in his hand, and she suddenly remembered that her mother had sold the painting, "You ......"
She was a little surprised to see him look at herself. She thought about it, but still showed him the way.
After thinking about it, he said, "My grandfather died long before I was born, and his painting was left with that one, the one you bought." She glanced at him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, I thought he was still alive. He regretted it, but followed him into the alley.
"By the way, my grandmother didn't actually want my mother to sell that painting, it was the only painting my grandfather left. She stood at the door, didn't go in, and looked at the person in front of her named Lu Junyu.
Lu Junyu frowned slightly, "Only that one is left?"
Li Fei didn't know what this person was doing, so she nodded. Seeing that he didn't leave, she still invited him into the house.
Thankfully, neither grandma nor dad have come back today.
She led him into the hall, and saw his mother come out.
"Mom. Li Fei saw her mother's surprised expression when she saw him, so she had to say, "I just met Mr. Lu who came at the mouth of the alley." He said he liked his grandfather's paintings. ”
As soon as Lin Fang went out, she saw Li Fei coming in with a young man, she looked at it, her eyes widened in surprise, "This is ......" She remembered that it was a young man who bought paintings.
"Hello!" Lu Junyu saw that it was really the middle-aged woman who sold the painting to him, and he smiled and greeted him first.
"Hello, hello. Lin Fang glanced at her daughter in surprise, and then looked at Lu Junyu.
"Uh, please come in......" Lin Fang hurriedly beckoned him in.
When Li Fei saw him come in and look at the four walls, she stepped forward and said again: "My grandfather only kept that one painting, and nothing else." You may be seated. ”
After she finished speaking, she went to boil water and prepared to make tea.
Lu Junyu looked at the little girl who walked out of the door, and then looked at this blue brick ancient house with the characteristics of the Republic of China.
Lin Fang hurriedly put down the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, why are you here." You may be seated. She beckoned.
Lu Junyu nodded and said politely, "You're welcome." I came this time to visit Mr. Li, but I didn't expect it...... Thank you for your understanding. He handed over the gift box.
"Don't be so polite. Lin Fang hurriedly declined the kindness, smiled and said, "Actually, I should thank you, if you hadn't bought the painting, our family wouldn't have been able to solve the difficulties at hand at once." She was a little ashamed, and when she saw that her mother-in-law hadn't come back, she hurriedly asked, "Mr. Lu came, is it ......?"
"My grandfather liked Mr. Li's paintings very much, and I also admired Mr. Li's paintings, I don't know if Mr. Li had any other paintings during his lifetime. If so, I'd like to buy more. He didn't want to leave.
I hope to see more authentic works of Mr. Li.
"This ......" Lin Fang looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and thought: It would be nice if there were.
She didn't know what to tell him. Then he looked at his daughter.
Seeing the little girl bringing tea, he quickly caught it and asked curiously, "Does your daughter also learn to paint?"
He guessed too.
Li Fei looked up at him and nodded.
"That's good. Lu Junyu looked at Li Fei who was standing aside.
Li Fei looked at this capablely dressed and handsome young man, she casually looked at his hands, but they were not as good as Lin Ye's hands.
"My grandfather didn't leave any notes or anything like that, and he didn't publish a book. She took him to the house where his grandfather had lived.
Lu Junyu was a little disappointed and followed her out of the house. Lin Fang saw that he was a little disappointed, she thought about it, and took him to the utility room where Li Fei put his paintings.
Li Fei saw that his mother had taken him into the utility room, and she turned around and went back to the back room without following up.
"Her grandfather didn't leave anything behind, but some drawings and the like might be able to help you. Lin Fang opened the door of the utility room, smiled awkwardly, turned on the light, and then took out Li Fei's painting bag.
"This is?" Lu Junyu looked at the scroll Chinese painting that he took out of his painting bag.
"These are all drawn by my daughter. She unfolded the painting to show him.
"She started learning it at a young age?"
"Yes! Feifei has loved to draw since she was a child. Lin Fang replied with a smile, looking at the trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
She sighed and took out the drawings that her daughter had often copied before.
"This ......" Lu Junyu was very surprised, looked up and asked, "Who taught her?" He looked at the white portrait in his hand, although he didn't understand Chinese painting, but he felt that she was very talented at a young age.
He continued to look at the second one, comparing it with her grandfather's sketches, and some of the depictions were all of the figures, and even the freehand figures were very similar to her grandfather's style.
Lin Fang was surprised, "She is all self-taught. Since she was a child, she has been figuring out painting by herself, and no one has taught her. I've never been to any training class. ”
She couldn't help but sigh again, "It's a pity ......"
"What's wrong?" Lu Junyu sighed when he saw her suddenly.
"She was supposed to go to university. But ......" Lin Fang frowned deeply and looked at her daughter's painting.
Lu Junyu looked at her with helplessness on his face, and asked: "It's a good thing that I was admitted!"
"But her grandmother ...... Hey, something happened at home, and there was no money for her to go to college. Thanks to you for buying the paintings, so that her dad can heal his illness. Seeing that he looked at the painting and did not speak again, she quickly retreated.
I was about to go out, but I heard him say, "Which university did she go to?"
Lin Fang was surprised for a moment and replied to him, "Tongcheng University." ”
"In this way, I pay for her tuition. Make sure she goes to college well. He didn't hesitate at all, lowered his head and continued to look at Li Fei's paintings, and then looked at the sketches left by her grandfather, and didn't look at Lin Fang, who was full of surprise.
