Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Xu got up to prepare for today's itinerary, and the first stop after breakfast was naturally to prepare a gift, who to give it to?

Naturally, Wang Fang was thinking about him, and when he thought of seeing Wang Fang today, Zhao Xu was full of energy, but he was also very nervous, and he didn't know if people saw him.

Well, let's prepare a gift first, what's the best thing? By the way, oil paintings, there are a lot of them in that watch shop, you can ask for the price, as long as it is not outrageously expensive, then there is no problem.

After eating breakfast absentmindedly, I went out, and with the skill of 'memorizing a rough idea once I walked', I found the clock shop with a clear ride.

"Welcome...?sigh?this son, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, are you going to buy that?"

Zhao Xu greeted with a smile.

"Old gentleman, you misunderstood, I didn't come to buy a watch, I was going to discuss with you, can you sell me an oil painting?" The old gentleman was a little surprised, it was the first time to buy oil paintings, most of them were given away, the price was not easy to do, after all, it had not been sold, it was not good to sell high or less, and it was a long-term thing to do business, but you can't just let people do that wrong.

"Oh, I see, this... To be honest, I haven't sold oil paintings yet, so it's hard to say the price, and most of the time I'm giving them away, doing favors, and suddenly I come to buy them at a price, which is a bit difficult. Zhao Xu scratched his head first,

"As for the price, the old gentleman said bluntly, if I can accept it, then I will buy it, if it is... Then there is no way. The old gentleman didn't rush to speak when he heard this, but his face was embarrassed, and he went back and forth in the store, thinking that it would not be smooth to buy oil paintings, at least in terms of price, Zhao Xu thought.

"I want to ask, what is the son buying the painting for?" The old gentleman was a little serious, and Zhao Xu was a little embarrassed.

"That's... I'm going to give it to a friend, I haven't seen it for a long time, as a meeting gift, it's okay..."Zhao Xu didn't look over, scratching his black face with his index finger.

"Oh, hahaha, I think it's for the girl, so, it's much simpler, I'll pay ten gold, what does the son think?"

"That's... Excuse me, can I bargain?" Zhao Xu's embarrassed appearance made the old gentleman laugh.

"Childe is interesting, hardware, that's it, it's cheap, you can be a repeat customer in the future, take care of the business in the store, okay, now pick a painting, whatever you like, you can either. Zhao Xu saw that the price was instantly reduced by half, and the pressure was much less, so he nodded wildly and agreed to the old man.

Looking around, I looked at it one by one, Zhao Xu fell in love with a painting, girls in Western clothes, playing on the grass, the background is big trees and clouds, very good-looking, the lower right corner of the painting is a string of words written in small Western characters, I think it is the author's name or time or something like that, compared to this country, the habits are a little different, the painters of this country are more accustomed to putting the time and seal on the left, and it is vertical.

Zhao Xu pointed to the painting

"That's it, sir, please take it off. Zhao Xu watched the old gentleman nod, stepped on the stool, and took down the painting that hung on the wall.

"Childe has good eyesight, this painting is the famous Western painter Crow's "Dance of the Demons", the painting is a good painting, but unfortunately it is not very popular in our East, um... Don't worry about this painting, it's a real painting, which Crow painter, according to my boss, has a good relationship, so there are a lot of his paintings. Zhao Xu watched the old gentleman help him pack the painting, and nodded in agreement while listening to the old gentleman's explanation.

"It's hard to believe it's painted, it's like... Seeing it with your own eyes is incredible. Zhao Xu gradually became interested in oil painting.

"Yes, Childe is an unusual person, most of the paintings I sent out may now be in a corner to eat soil, and some of them have been sold, alas, I really hope that we Oriental people can let go of those arrogance that come from nowhere, take a good look at other people's Oriental things, at least face it, maybe this is also one of the reasons why my boss sent me these paintings, ahaha, sorry, sorry, said some inexplicable paintings. Zhao Xu shook his head and paid.

"I think what the old gentleman said is not wrong, take the essence and remove the dross, I still understand these truths, oh, by the way, it's not early, I still have to see my friends, thank you Mr. today, I will leave first. Looking at Zhao Xu, who had gone away, the old gentleman kept chattering

The phrase "take the essence and remove the dross".

"Alas, that's it, I'm a bad old man over half a hundred years old, what do you care, leave it to these young people. ”... At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Xu came to the college on the outskirts of the city, which was where Wang Fang studied.

Looking at the magnificent gate, there are also students who come and go in uniform clothes, they talk and laugh, the pace is brisk, the boys are playing, and the girls are holding their arms and whispering.

Zhao Xu subconsciously pinched the painting in his hand, plucked up his courage, and walked to the guard at the gate to inquire about the value.

"Hello, I'm coming to see a friend, is it convenient?" An old man, bearded, and very strong.

"Young man, it's inconvenient! It's naturally not possible to go in, but..."The old man gestured quietly under his hand, Zhao Xu understood at a glance, and it was a matter of course from this pocket to that pocket.

"The young man is so sensible, come on, come on, who do you want to meet, sign up for the word class, Lao Tzu will call you. "Speaking of which, Zhao Xu is a little...

"I only know that her name is Wang Fang, and she is from the same place as me, from Zhaojia Village, as for her class, I don't know, old man, can you find someone?" Zhao Xu was not confident.

"Hey, what's the matter, Wang Fang's girl I know, her mouth is sweet, every time she goes over, she calls my uncle, besides, in this courtyard, she is the only one who calls Wang Fang, so you wait here, I'll help you call someone." The bearded old man also said that he would leave, but before leaving, he also instructed others to help him replace the post, and he was cultivated in the scolding and scolding of others.

In this way, Zhao Xu wandered at the gate of the college for more than an hour, and under the scorching sun, he was almost able to take a shower... The students all cast strange eyes when they came and went, which made Zhao Xu very unnatural and even more anxious.

"Why is my head a little dizzy, no... Is the old man framing me? It's going to take so long..."Just when Zhao Xu couldn't wait, a figure appeared in his sight, and there was the bearded old man beside him, and the two were talking and laughing.

It's getting closer, and my heart is about to jump out.

"Young man, someone brought it to you! You have to treat Wang Fangha well. The old man gave Zhao Xu a look and gave him meaning.

After the old man left, both of them lowered their heads, as if they were counting ants, Zhao Xu still scratched his head vigorously, while Wang Fang vigorously drew circles with his toes.

'Stupid, I don't know how to take the initiative, it's okay to do anything, it's good to call my name, it's embarrassing...'

"Yes... I'm sorry to keep you waiting, because there is a very important class, so..."Wang Fang was the first to speak to break the deadlock.

'What a piece of wood, black, thin wood. ’

"It doesn't matter, the course is important, it doesn't matter how long I have to wait. Zhao Xu grinned like a fool.

"Poof!" Wang Fang squatted on the ground with his stomach covered and laughed, and Zhao Xu hurriedly patted his back and breathed.

The two of them looked at each other, and both squinted and laughed. The bearded old man, who was hiding and peeking aside, also grinned and crooked his beard and laughed.

"Alas, Zhao Xu, it's been a year, what are you doing here? Already have a boy you like around?" Zhao Xu was worried.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, this year, I've come here in fear, I'm really afraid, I'll come later, you're... I like someone else. "Yo, look at you're embarrassed.

"What do you mean that you like someone else, I didn't say I like you Zhao Xu, hum. Wang Fang pretended to be angry, with cunning in her eyes.

"Hey, hey, you... Are you free?Let's have a meal together..."Wang Fang's straight eyes saw that Zhao Xu didn't dare to look at each other, but Wang Fangle was broken, I didn't expect Zhao Xu to be like this... Shy?

Shy?

"Hey~ what you're holding in your hand... What is this?huh?" snatched the painting that Zhao Xu had bought and waved his hand.

"Send your... Open it up and take a look. "I didn't know how to send out the paintings, but now it's good... Really... It's not too woody, and you know how to bring gifts, hehe, rolled up?

Could it be a painting? It's really, tsk, Western painting. Wang Fang unfolded the painting in front of Zhao Xu's eyes and was fascinated.

"How is it, do you like it?" Zhao Xu has asked four times... But there is no need to answer whether you like it or not, Wang Fang has already been fascinated by it.

"Ah, I like it very much, thank you, let's go, let's eat, I'll take you to a store, it's delicious, I often go to eat with my roommates, you can taste it too." Wang Fang led the way, and the two didn't talk much, after all, a girl was embarrassed, and a boy was shy.

Zhao Xu also thinks it's very good, and his heart is thinking that people are right in front of him, which is very good. 'Wood, big wood!

Before the sun set, Zhao Xu returned to his residence, the corners of his mouth could not be smoothed, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, in short, what he was worried about was superfluous, a year has passed, she is still which she, the 'he' he is worried about does not exist, although he can't see her every day, but at least he can write to the past.

This night, Zhao Xu slept very late, and so did she.

"When I saw her, my heart was beating and I was told it was her, yes. Zhao Xu is afraid not only that there will be one more him by her side, but also, when she says goodbye, is she still her in her heart?
