51. You are my pride
She didn't go downstairs for a long time, and Ji Linchuan went up with a coffee cup to call her.
He unscrewed the door with one hand, and trained her as he walked: "Hatch the eggs, don't move the nest for half a day." He also lifted her skirt, "I'll take a look, how many hatched?"
Suddenly, she raised her hand and pushed, and the steaming coffee instantly splashed on him, and his beautiful linen gray custom suit instantly faded brown.
I saw him stunned for two seconds, holding the empty cup in his hand, looking down at the piece of clothing on his abdomen, and still bubbling white.
He hated it: "Damn, what kind of wind are you smoking?"
She sat firmly and glanced at him: "Change your clothes, this ugly thing is dead." ”
"It's ugly?" he believed, walked over to the vanity mirror to look at himself, and began to unbutton his shirt and take it off to the dressing room.
She pursed her lips, but she didn't expect him to pick out a more eye-catching dress, a crane pattern, a high-end handmade suit, and a high-profile temperament.
He dressed up and asked her, "What about this one?"
Ouyang Yuyou pursed her lips, without saying a word, walked into the dressing room, took a piece of clothes from previous years and threw it to him, it was not old, it was just an ordinary black basic model.
"What about playing with me?" Ji Linchuan hung on his fingers with a disgusted expression, "I haven't worn this dress a few times." ”
She said, "I didn't just take it out and wear it today, I think this is the right one." ”
Ji Linchuan squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "This is the clothes for the funeral." ”
Ouyang Yuyou raised her eyes, "No one stipulates that black clothes can only be worn after a funeral, or do you have a happy event today?" Ji Linchuan, it's rare for me to be in the mood to pick out clothes for you, don't you appreciate it?"
His face struggled for a while, as if he was fighting his own thoughts, and finally took off his clothes very reluctantly, and put on the one she had picked, stood up with his collar, stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself, his jaw tightened.
"You'd better not fix me. ”
Ouyang Yuyou walked up, personally folded a rose-patterned scarf for him, stuffed it into his breast pocket, and patted him on the shoulder, "Look, it's not very handsome." ”
Now she was satisfied, picked up the papers on the table and turned to leave.
Ji Linchuan pulled her back with a backhand, touched her forehead and asked, "You don't have a fever, do you?"
Hell, it's the first time in his life that he's heard her praise him handsome.
"Ji Linchuan. Ouyang Yuyou raised his eyes and looked at his hand on his forehead, because of the height difference, he was close, so he looked up at him, his eyelashes stagnant: "Ask you again, do you want to go to Hong Kong with me?"
He moved his hand to her shoulder, looked down at her, and said, "I have something to do today." ”
Serious business?
Miss Yan, or her famous father?
Ouyang Yuyou smiled slightly, there seemed to be a faint mockery in her eyes, she just asked casually, and she didn't expect him to make compromises and concessions for her in the pursuit of interests.
Because as early as two years ago, he had already made a choice, and he didn't know long ago that the famous Fansenji only had his wealth and status in his eyes.
She turned around and said softly, "Then I wish you and that Miss Yan a smooth negotiation." ”
Ji Linchuan suddenly pulled back her shoulders, pinched her with scarlet fingers, and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Little fox, your ears are very smart. He squinted his eyes and said, "I said to go out less, you said that Hong Kong's law and order are very good." I'll let you go another day, you have to go today. The people and cars have been arranged for you, and now you are making trouble with me again, do you really want me to accompany you, or do you overturn the vinegar jar and make trouble with me?"
"Guess what. Ouyang Yuyou raised his face, quietly removed his arm, picked up the bag from the bed, slammed the door and went downstairs.
With a long spiral staircase, she walked to the last floor and slowly looked back.
She didn't admit that she was jealous, she attributed those blockages and annoyances to his businessman's inferiority, knowing that Ji Linchuan would always put interests first, she still tried to compare herself, which was ridiculous.
Sitting in the car, Ouyang Yuyou leaned against the window, like a sawn log, motionless and sluggish.
Jiajia, who was driving, didn't dare to say much, and looked back at Mrs. Ji from time to time.
Seeing that although she pursed her mouth tightly and kept silent, there was a faint annoyance on her face, but her facial features were really just right and beautiful, and her temperament was not like that of ordinary celebrities, she was wearing ordinary clothes, and there was no dazzling jewelry on her body.
After tea and dinner, the small staff in the company often guessed that the woman who could put a rich man like Mr. Ji into the marriage of a wealthy man like Mr. Ji must be the reincarnation of the fox, and the means and skills in that regard must be among the best.
After all, I heard that Mrs. Ji is the daughter of the former chairman of Tengyuan, and the company is married.
Thinking of this, Jiajia couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder Secretary Lin always didn't let her squeeze into the pantry to listen to Mr. Ji's gossip, it turned out that those were purely made up.
Driving into the boundary of Hong Kong, the two bodyguards' cars followed more cautiously, and Jiajia, who thought that she had first-class driving skills, did not dare to brake at will, for fear of being chased by the bodyguard car that followed half a meter away.
With many foreigners from all over the world populating on the streets, Basel is housed in one of Hong Kong's most famous buildings, located in Victoria Harbour, surrounded by water on three sides, and the roar of luxury ships is extraordinarily magnificent.
Ouyang Yuyou got out of the car, entered the gate of this building, and took the escalator to the second floor, a wide hall of several kilometers, the flow of people is not much, but the dress is either rich or expensive. Jiajia swept her eyes and saw many gringos standing around and whispering, and there were even familiar Hong Kong actors walking through them, she hurriedly said happily, "My God, there are stars!"
In this kind of world-class exhibition, it is not surprising that there are any celebrities, and many wealthy businessmen and celebrities have flown in from far away to pick a few satisfactory works to go back.
Ouyang Yuyou teased her, "Do you want to take a group photo?"
"Forget it, he's not my idol, I like that kind of little fresh meat that is so tender that I can pinch out the water. ”
Jiajia smiled happily while gesturing, and then she suddenly caught a glimpse of a face that often appeared on TV, turned her head and asked the black-clothed bodyguard behind her, "Female star, do you want to help you get an autograph?"
The usually silent and cold bodyguards glanced at each other, and shook their heads at Jiajia, she didn't think so, and screamed for a while, and on the way to the entrance of the exhibition, she was played by Jiajia into a "guess which star is coming" quiz game.
When you come to the entrance, the staff wears white gloves and checks your belongings and tickets one by one.
Ouyang Yuyou only then remembered that she only had one ticket in her hand, and the tickets for the first day were not sold on the spot, and Jiajia and the bodyguards behind her couldn't go in, if Ji Linchuan naturally had a way to get tickets, but she obviously didn't have the ability.
At this time, Jiajia quietly pulled her aside and whispered that she actually wanted to go to Causeway Bay to buy something, and she pointed to heaven and said, "I promise to come back in two hours at most." ”
Ouyang Yuyou looked at the large exhibition hall on the two floors in front of her, with her experience, it would take five or six hours to walk around at the earliest, so she asked Jiajia to go with confidence, and those black-clothed bodyguards stayed at the entrance.
Ouyang Yuyou walked into the bright venue alone, a circular pillar five or six meters high broke into view, which was full of paintings of different styles, and many people gathered around the giant column, watching the details, almost everyone had a camera, taking pictures of the works from various angles.
There are several large sculptures in the compartment, the light and shadow are subtly cast on the faces of the sculptural figures, the texture of the hard stone, but it creates a melancholy mood, and the details are numerous, and the top level is naturally breathtaking.
Ouyang Yuyou took a map of the layout of the exhibition, and saw that it was marked with an Italian watercolor artist she liked very much, but she turned the whole floor down and did not find the work she wanted to see, so she had to endure the already sore calf and go up to another floor.
The number of spectators on the third floor is relatively small, and there is a fast food lounge area in the corner of the edge, with red chairs and white tables neatly arranged, and it is full of resting people.
Ouyang Yuyou lined up at the end of the line to buy water, and when she turned back, she saw that the seats were full, so she had to ask a foreign couple next to her if they could share a table? The other party was smiling and nodding, but at this time, Ouyang Yuyou's wrist was gently pulled.
Then I heard someone shouting in her ear, "Yu You." ”
The voice......
She slowly looked back and saw that the person who was pulling her beside her was him.
"Lin Sheng ......," she opened her eyes in surprise.
The last time I said goodbye, I thought I didn't know when I would see each other again, but at this time I was in a trance, and when I saw him smiling warmly, he gently held his wrists, took her to the table on the edge, and pulled out a chair for her to sit down.
Lin Sheng looked at the water in her hand, walked to the ordering area again, and bought a bottle of lemon soda and a light meal for her when he came back. He put the plate in front of her and said, "The food here doesn't taste very good, I'll take you to dinner when I'm done." ”
His intimate and familiar tone gave Ouyang Yuyou an illusion that was not very real.
It's like it's not a reunion, but a meeting you've just met, and he's just waiting for her here.
In such a city, she met unexpectedly, why was she the only one who was speechless in surprise?
"Don't be in a daze. He picked up a knife and fork and cut the small piece of steak and handed it to her, "It's even worse when it's cold." ”
Ouyang Yuyou chewed slowly, and saw that Lin Sheng was wearing a light gray suit, and his hair was shaved neatly under the half-tied short braids, and he always looked neat and chic.
It's just that his deep eyes looked a lot haggard, and Ouyang Yuyou suddenly remembered that time when he met Xu Haorui, he was upset for Lin Sheng, and said the next words.
"Lin Sheng, I'm sorry. She couldn't tell him anything about her phone, just as she couldn't tell why she dropped out of school at the age of 16 and left for the country.
"Where did you come from?" Lin Sheng took out a fine checkered handkerchief and put it in her hand, "I just want to see you and let you know in person, don't listen to Xu Haorui's nonsense, I know who sent those text messages." ”
It turned out that he knew......
Ouyang Yuyou looked at him calmly, and seeing Lin Sheng smiling warmly, she wondered, "How do you seem to know that I will come?"
Lin Sheng looked at him left and right and said, "Here are the paintings you like very much." ”
Seeing that she didn't eat much, he slowly stood up and led her through the crowd to a cubicle.
Ouyang Yuyou finally saw the artist's work, the size is not too big, but it has a unique personal style, skillful techniques, and the colors are like God's creativity on the earth, colorful and charming, amazing.
Lin Sheng turned his head to look at her, "The painting you won the first award in the United States is with me, do you remember?"
Of course, she remembers that at the age of twenty-two, from the letters he sent when he traveled, imagining the deep sea he described, the quiet and mysterious realm, and the traditional stories she had been exposed to since childhood, she spent three months creating a painting "Shark".
After winning the award, she gave him the original.
Lin Sheng looked at her and said, "You are my pride, and you will always be." ”
Ouyang Yuyou smiled and turned her face away, her eyes slightly sour.
Only Lin Sheng would be proud of her, a terrible scumbag.
I remember that in the autumn of that year, he said that he was going to take her to sketch, and she was a complete scum at that time.
It was the first time she had come to such a place when she came to the white-walled Huizhou complex, the village built by the water hidden in a mountain, the smoke of the morning cooking, the autumn sun melting on the roof, and the branches of the trees splashed like lemon yellow paint, bright and dazzling.
Lin Sheng erected two easels by the waterside of Crescent Bay, and he sat to her left, explaining one stroke at a time, and the colorful paints were applied to his palette, which instantly became very ingenious, and was laid out by the brush into a flexible and vivid work.
"It's amazing, Lin Sheng, how did you do it?" When she spoke, she was still holding five skewers of fried rice cakes in her hand, and her mouth was full of oil.
She looked at the landscape in front of her, then at his paintings, and sighed.
And there are only a few scattered line drawings on her own drawing paper, which is miserable. Just like learning, she likes to walk away.
Lin Sheng moved her easel a little to this side, and began to spread a large color block on her drawing paper again, he said very little at school, but he could explain to her over and over again, tirelessly, and when she finished eating, a tissue was handed to her hand, and then a new drawing paper was clamped for her.
Painting every morning, in the afternoon she becomes a duck with a bolt off, flapping her wings, running all over the world, there are a lot of strange things in the market, the shops sell traditional handmade products, Lin Sheng bought a patchwork cotton dress, a pair of black cloth embroidered boots for her, silver bracelets also bought two, and changed the whole body, it is an authentic Huizhou girl.
No matter how good she looks, she still doesn't pay attention to eating things, and it didn't take long for her clothes to drip sauce, sugar water, and a few pieces of wall ash.
There is no father here, Uncle Ji, no Ji Linchuan and Chen Jiatang, there is only Lin Sheng by her side, he will not ask her to sit and sit, nor will he say "You are not allowed to eat when you walk", she doesn't have to care about whether she is decent or not, and whether she shows a self-contained posture.
In the morning, she began to be lazy, unwilling to paint, saying that she would follow the grandmother of the homestay family to the mountains to pick tea, Lin Sheng was hesitating, she was afraid that he would not agree, so she pulled his clothes for a while, pulled his painting kit box for a while, begged him one by one, and behaved like a coquette.
He compromised, put on his slippers and tapped along.
The autumn noon sun was a little poisonous, and she was already tired and paralyzed when she went down the mountain, so Lin Sheng carried her on his back and walked on the long path.
The road sandwiched in the green tea field was long and winding, like a brown ribbon thrown on the ground.
He walked from one end of the ribbon to the other, and when he reached the village, she was asleep on her back.
On the last day, they walked around the village one last time with their painting bags on their backs, and walked under the white wall full of cannonballs, when she suddenly turned her head, blocked him, looked up and looked up, and said, "Lin Sheng, I like you." ”
