14. Great painter
Xiao Huai and Lin Li left the cemetery and drove back to the castle.
The two of them stayed up all night, and they were both tired at this time, but before the car had stopped steadily, Michiko Koyama's work call came.
Xiao Huai gave Lin Li an apologetic look. Lin Li understood and got out of the car first.
Walking into the castle, she was sharp-eyed to find that the most beautiful fragrant roses in the garden, the "Black Lady", had been plucked a lot. Pushing open the door, the room looked like it had just been through a catastrophe, littered with shards of glass, wine stains, rose petals, charcoal sketchbooks......
There are also men's and women's clothes, which are messily scattered in the hallway, hallway, dining room, sofa, and so on.
- Who are those two people?!
A young girl with blond hair and blue eyes knelt on the sofa, her round buttocks and silky eyes, allowing the young man behind her to take what she wanted. The man's facial features looked like a mixed-race child, and his expression was very excited at the moment, turning the girl into a supine position like a puppet.
Lin Li's mind exploded with a "coax", and he stepped back suddenly, hitting the screen in the living room.
The man's good deed was interrupted, and he turned his face to look at it, and a pair of black eyes suddenly revealed great shock.
Xiao Huai finished the work call, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw that the floor of the hallway was sprinkled with rose petals.
His face changed slightly, and he quickened his pace into the room, and saw an unsightly scene.
The cousin, who hadn't seen him for more than half a year, was naked/naked, with a woman pressed under him, not only did he not know how to hide it, but he also looked at Lin Li stupidly.
Xiao Huai frowned, didn't say a word, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.
The young man jumped up like a burning buttocks: "NO! β
In this movement, his naked/naked/naked body is completely unobstructed, and what can be seen and what cannot be seen is displayed in front of people.
What's even more exaggerated is - he, naked, running, and, coming!
Lin Li gasped in shock.
Xiao Huai grabbed her wrist and pulled the person over, Lin Li didn't stand firm at his feet, and involuntarily crashed into his arms.
His chin was next to her forehead, her cheek pressed against his collar, and the two snuggled up to each other in a flash of surprise, eyes meeting and lashes fluttering. She only had to tilt her head slightly, and the soft flap of her lips would meet his protruding Adam's apple.
Lin Li's expression stiffened.
A figure rushed past Lin Fei with the sound of the wind, scrambling to pick up the clothes scattered in all corners.
Bai Huahua's body swayed everywhere, ignoring incivility, Lin Li subconsciously closed his eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she chuckled in her heart.
She was now motionless in Xiao Huai's arms, already embarrassed, and closed her eyes again, as if enjoying his hug......
Xiao Huai found that Lin Li's expression became very embarrassed, and the white skin on her face, neck, and ears was flushed with a thin red, and after a while, she turned herself into a cooked lobster.
He wanted to let go of her, but his eyes couldn't help but linger on her lip that was biting out of shame for a few more seconds.
Feeling his prolonged gaze, she lifted her eyes uncomfortably, opening a thin slit, and the scene in her field of vision seemed to gradually pull up in slow motion, allowing her to see first a well-defined chin, two thin lips curled upward, and then a pair of bright eyes.
He didn't speak, he didn't let go of her, he stared at her quietly.
The staring at each other lasted only a second, and Lin Li's entire face added another layer of crimson. Xiao Huai's eyes looked at her with deep and focused, and with a hint of inquiry, he must have misunderstood her......
Xiao Huai gently let go of Lin Li and dialed the police.
"Cousin, everything is negotiable." The young man spoke as he put on his pants and glanced at his female companion and told her to withdraw first.
He stretched out his arms like an octopus to hug Xiao Huai, stalking and pinching off the phone, with a hippie smile: "Honey, you are always so serious, can you still play happily together in the future?" β
Xiao Huai frowned in disgust: "Want to play? Go to the police station by yourself for a while. β
My cousin is accustomed to Xiao Huai's style of teaching people without dirty words: "Your mansion is empty all year round and no one lives in it, so I come over from time to time to take care of it to avoid waste." β
"The Munich prison is also empty all year round, and it would be a waste if you didn't go in and take care of it."
"NONO, I'M A WELL-KNOWN PERSON, AND THIS WILL MAKE HEADLINES AND BRING SHAME ON OUR FAMILY."
"I'm not in the same family as you."
Cousin: "......"
Xiao Huai also wanted to call the police, but her cousin turned her head and threw a hurt look at Lin Li, which reminded her of the homeless and hungry wild cats and wild dogs in the winter.
Lin Li's scalp was numb from his cousin's staring, and he hesitated to say something to ease the stalemate, Xiao Huai spoke first: "Lin Li, please stay away for a few minutes, I need to have an in-depth conversation with Simon Lee." β
Lin Li said "okay" and turned around to leave. The cousin disagreed, and suddenly grabbed her left wrist: "What Simon Lee, I obviously have a Chinese name, called Li Shimin." β
Lin Li couldn't help but laugh at this sentence.
The cousin saw that Lin Li was very good-looking, and greeted her: "Mei Niang, hello." β
Xiao Huai opened his mouth, and his tone was always calm and serious: "Take your hand off her wrist." β
Simon didn't let go: "Cousin, is Mei Niang your girlfriend?" β
"It's not." Lin Li answered before Xiao Huai.
Simon whistled in satisfaction, looking at Lin Li from head to toe.
Lin Li felt that his gaze was different. His piercing gaze seemed to penetrate her skin to see the composition of muscles, the position of internal organs, and the proportions of the skeleton...... In addition to doctors, who else will look at living people as if they were ** specimens from the perspective of human anatomy?
"From the point of view of the golden ratio and symmetry, your breasts are not big or small, your waist is thin, your legs are long, your buttocks are upturned, and the picture of not wearing clothes is quite beautiful." Simon narrowed his eyes, "Mei Niang, you can be my ** model, I can use a brush to show your most beautiful body curves." β
He's a painter?
Xiao Huai didn't want to listen to Simon's words, so he held Lin Li's arm and wanted to pull people back. As soon as Simon saw that Xiao Huai was about to snatch away the model he had just targeted, he immediately clasped Lin Li's wrist: "Cousin, what are you going to do?" β
Between the pulls, the lost amethyst bracelet on Lin Li's left wrist was torn off by someone else, and the beads fell to the ground.
Lin Li's face changed, Xiao Huai's slender hand held her left wrist to block the scar in a timely manner, and his tone was extremely calm: "Simon, you ripped off her bracelet, please compensate her for her loss." β
Simon let go of Lin Li and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Okay, I'm sorry." β
Lin Li was about to speak, but Xiao Huai grabbed her left wrist and pulled her straight to the carved column spiral ladder.
Simon asked: "Don't go, how to pay?" How much to lose? β
Xiao Huai ignored him, walked between the fourth and fifth floors, and stopped his steps.
Lin Li also stopped, vaguely guessing that Xiao Huai might have something to say to her.
She could even guess what he was going to say, but she didn't want to hear it, let alone face it, so she unconsciously turned around the left wrist that he was holding in the palm of her hand.
Xiao Huai let go of his hand.
As soon as the warm palm and the bumpy scar parted the slightest gap, Lin Li immediately put his left hand back into his coat pocket.
Xiao Huai said: "Let you see the smile." Simon is a distant relative of mine, of mixed Chinese and German descent, and although he has a little artistic talent, he is often unbridled. He paused, "I beg your pardon." β
Lin Li shook his head: "It's okay. β
"Would you mind sleeping in the fifth-floor guest bedroom today?"
Lin Li still shook his head: "I don't need to change the room, I can sleep on the first floor." β
"Simon is here, if you still sleep on the first floor, it is estimated that even the bed will belong to him in the second half of the night." Xiao Huai said very directly, and his tone fluctuated slightly, "You go back to the room to rest first." I went downstairs to talk to Simon, and this wasn't the first time he had brought a model to me. β
Lin Li was a little surprised, but out of politeness he didn't comment, and said, "You can rest early after the conversation." β
Xiao Huai turned around and went downstairs.
Lin Li walked to the fourth and a half floors, his mood was still a little uneasy, and his mind quickly passed through the scene when the amethyst bracelet was torn off.
She poked her head out silently, leaned over and glanced downstairs, and saw Xiao Huai's long and straight back, and a question popped up in her mind.
Did he already know her secret?
*
There is no significant difference in the dΓ©cor between the guest bedroom on the fifth floor and the first floor, except for a mattress that is laid directly on the floor, like a tatami mat.
Take things as they come. Lin Li was indeed sleepy, and fell asleep as soon as his head was next to the pillow, and woke up close to evening.
She left the bedroom and walked to the first floor, where the chaos had been sorted out, and the castle mansion had been restored to a clear window.
I didn't see Simon, so I guess he left a long time ago.
Lin Li pondered what to eat for dinner. Last night was Chinese, why don't you have a Western-style dinner today, Bavarian grilled elbows?
She cleaned the pork knuckle, soaked it in the vegetable broth and steamed it, prepared the potato balls, and concentrated on cooking, not noticing the other person sneaking into the kitchen.
The man was silent, quietly observing Lin Li, and then opened the drawing book, and the hard charcoal pen in his hand swiped across the paper, quickly capturing her demeanor.
Lin Pi put the cooked pork knuckle in a baking tray, spread a layer of minced onion on the bottom, sprinkle black pepper, fennel and salt, and then transfer it to the oven to bake.
The pork knuckle gradually turns golden in color, the skin is crispy, and the aroma is overflowing.
The aroma was seductive, and the painter quietly stopped the charcoal pen in his hand.
Lin Li took out the charred pork knuckle and poured it with beer and sauce, when a figure suddenly flashed from the side and stretched out a silver fork.
The pork knuckle skin is thick, and the fork is not stable. The heavy pork knuckle was like a small free-falling mine, smashing straight to the ground, and oil stains were splashed everywhere.
Lin Li: "......"
Simon looked guilty and whispered, "I'm sorry." β
Lin Li looked at him depressedly and said with his eyes, "Why are you still here?"
"My cousin asked me to tidy up my room, and I also told you that I had to apologize." Simon looked sincere, "Honey, please be my ** model and let me paint for you as an apology." β
What kind of apology is this......
"You'll look at my work before you decide?" Seeing that Lin Li was silent, Simon showed her a few dynamic sketches he had just drawn.
Accurate and fine lines break the emptiness of the white paper and transform the flat surface into a three-dimensional space. Simon's simple and complex picture processing shows each of her completely different demeanors. Whether it's a heartfelt smile, an inexplicable anxiety, or a fleeting apprehension, it's all on the page.
These paintings are like mirrors, making Lin Li suddenly realize that she is sensitive and exposed, and she is not as good at hiding as she thought.
"Your work is full of artistic expressions, but I'm really not interested in ** models." She replied.
"I'll pay you well. Think again? β
Lin Li shook his head.
Simon closed the book and said seriously, "I like all kinds of emotions hidden in your body, and I want to express them one by one through the elegant art form." You might think I'm saying so much just to trick you into getting laid? NO, I never cheat on women. β
In order to prove his innocence, he added: "My cousin and I have never been short of women around us, and if we want to have sex/sex, we can do it at any time." Sex is as simple and ordinary to us as eating and sleeping. Art is different, it can shake the heart. I want to see you when you're not wearing clothes, and I want to show the viewer your inner contradictions through the guΓ² brush. β
Lin Li was shocked by these words, and at the same time, a familiar voice sounded, revealing a rare intimidation in his tone: "Simon." β
Simon looked back wryly. My cousin is here.
Xiao Huai heard movement on the first floor, and smelled the rich aroma of pork knuckle, guessing that Lin Li had prepared dinner, but when he walked into the restaurant, he saw crispy pork knuckle upside down on the ground, and Simon pestering Lin Li.
His cold gaze swept over his cousin, and when he spoke again, it was not Chinese, but German with a Bavarian accent.
Simon was stunned for a moment, and replied in German.
Lin Li couldn't understand what they were saying, Simon's tone became more and more hesitant, and finally pitifully said "I'm sorry" to her and reluctantly left the kitchen.
Xiao Huai and Lin Li were left in the huge space, and neither of them spoke immediately, and the atmosphere was inexplicably a little awkward.
After a while, Xiao Huai said, "Simon has nothing to hide, don't mind." β
Lin Li couldn't figure out why he drove Simon away, and nodded hesitantly: "I understand, don't mind either." "He's very good, and he likes women, and it's normal for him to have a rich private life.
Hearing such an answer, Xiao Huai's face showed a look of surprise.
Lin Li squatted down and wiped the oil on the ground with a rag.
After cleaning up the mess, she washed her hands with her back to him, and said to ease the atmosphere: "I am a Sagittarius, and horoscope experts have said that people like me are very nervous and prone to split personalities...... Thinking about it from another angle, Simon is right. β
Xiao Huai was even more surprised.
Turning off the faucet, she continued, "I'm repreparing dinner, is there anything you'd like to eat in particular?" β
"Yes."
"What?"
"Meng Po soup."
Lin Li looked back in surprise.
Xiao Huai said: "When I think of Simon asking to stay here for ten days and half a month, I feel extremely headache. In traditional Chinese culture, is there a thing that people will forget about their troubles when they eat it? β
Lin Li was stunned for two or three seconds, and his lips curled up softly: "That's called Forget Worry Grass, not Meng Po Soup." Xiao Huai, who taught you Chinese? β
After she finished speaking, her eyes were full of light, like the white moonlight at night, bright and dazzling.
Xiao Huai was stunned, his gaze moved from those sparkling eyes to his moist and shiny lips, stayed for a moment, and turned away.
"Do you need my help here?" He whispered.
"No, you can get back to work." She waved her hand and walked away.
