chapter 31

In the hall at the entrance of the studio, a whole wall of students' works is hung, and opposite, there is a row of teachers' profiles, all from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.

Other people's photos are more or less friendly smiles, even if the smile is stiff, the corners of the mouth are still there, but Zhou Jiyou, with a light lip line and solemn eyes, seems to be staring at the viewer intently.

Below the photo, is her personal resume, with lines of small characters in Song style including her award-winning experience in recent years, as if it is the essence of her little life full of artistic attainments.

Shen Feibai's gaze wanders over the list of art awards, and she shines in places he can't see, just as he tries to stay in Beijing where she can't see.

In fact, in the final analysis, she has at least one skill when she leaves the Shen family, and with the second entrance score in the country, her first part-time job is very easy to find. In the past five years, she has been self-sufficient, and she has lived better than him.

And he, applying for a poverty loan, taking a tutor, and working as a waiter...... I am willing to do what I can, and I have tried what I can't do. Once, when I applied for a magazine print model with a group of film school students, I was stiff and stiff in my face at any pose, and the result can be imagined.

Many of the first times in his life were related to her, the first time he massaged his head with the opposite sex, the first time he held hands with the opposite sex, and the first time he drank mineral water......

At first, he just felt that she was different from others to him, how different she was, and the emotional world was blank, and he couldn't tell the difference.

Until later, she was sad, he was sad, she was happy, and he was happy...... He began to be constantly influenced by her affection, and he faintly realized the germ of his own feelings, an unknown seed that quietly grew in an environment without any care.

At that time, he was just an insignificant person in her life, and if she was in a good mood, she would take care of it, and if she was in a bad mood, she would not be approached.

She can only see one person in her eyes, and even if she is impatient or even cold-hearted to that person, but different is different.

She often protects herself in a lonely and lonely manner, but she may not know that the eyes she looks at that person are always soft and docile, and she is just duplicitous.

Once the floodgates of memory are opened, the past buried deep in the heart is surging.

Five years ago, the day she pushed Shen Ke out of her world, she sat alone in the woods of the park with her knees crossed and cried, behind the stout ginkgo tree, looking up at the verdant canopy that covered the sky, avoiding the slightest noise, and silently accompanying him.

At the end of the elementary oil painting class, it was a quarter past seven o'clock.

Parents took their children's hands and asked this and that, and from afar, he heard countless conversations about questions and answers.

Zhou Jiyou walked out with a parent chatting and saw him standing sideways by the wall, his dark eyes facing her, and on the wall next to him, where he was standing, she just saw his photo at a glance.

The words of the parents who were talking about their children suddenly became a mess, and she could not hear a word.

She interrupted: "Grandma Xiaokang, let's talk again next time, my brother is waiting for me." ”

She tilted her head slightly to the side, pointing at Shen Feibai.

Grandma Xiaokang recognized that he was the young man who was waiting by the window with them before, and said very reasonably: "Yo, it's been a long time, you are busy with yours, let's talk next time." ”

Seeing the old man carrying the bag of painting tools to chase his grandson who ran outside to play, in the afterglow, Shen Feibai walked over.

She tilted her head to look at him and asked, "Where are you taking me?" ”

Holding the car keys in his hand, he asked, "What's the battery range of your car?" ”

"Sixty." She raised her eyebrows, and her interest came up, "Don't expect to drive it on four wheels, you won't be able to come back then, I'll take a taxi, and you have to carry it back." ”

What she joked about was not true, but he assured her, "Sixty is enough." ”

***

Even though the summer breeze is hot, it is very comfortable to have a light breeze on your face at night when there is no direct sunlight.

The broken hair on the top of Zhou Jiyou's head was all held up by the wind girl to dance. The night was colorful, and she raised her head backwards, squinting in the wind.

Walking under an overpass, the stone pier on the side of the road pinned her feet, she didn't say anything, but he immediately felt it, and his chin lowered: "Scraped?" ”

She didn't say anything, and he said again: "Does it hurt?" ”

She reached out and rubbed her ankle, and it didn't hurt, it just seemed to have cramps.

"It's fine." She told him to concentrate on riding, and when she thought of something, she commented funny, "I didn't close my feet myself, and you seem to be your fault." ”

"Well, I'm not good at driving." Shen Feibai said in front.

She seized the opportunity and hurt him: "yes, I don't know who wanted to ride a bicycle with one hand before." ”

He then said, "So you still have to hold on." ”

She was stunned for a moment, secretly noticing that something was wrong: "What do you mean?" "The long tail note is meaningful.

He seemed to pause and said three words: "Hold me tight." ”

Zhou Jiyou's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he slowly stretched out his hand, wrapped his waist around him like an evening, and deliberately asked, "Is this so?" ”

The little finger scratched at his waist and abdomen.

Shen Feibai pursed his lips, his chest shook slightly, and he inhaled a breath of hot air. He didn't answer yes or no, but called out to her softly.

Zhou Jiyou vaguely heard it and waited.

"Do you know you're teasing?" The voice was low and a little hoarse.

Her arm stiffened, and her broken little finger suddenly seemed to lose consciousness, unable to move again.

Slow down until you reach a higher speed and stop at the brakes. Shen Feibai leaned on the curb with one foot, half-turned his head, and did not look at her, but at the creeper in the sidewalk, which was dimmed by the light and covered with greenery.

"Have you ever wondered why you are sometimes very cooperative and sometimes very resistant, when you promised me a chance?"

"Like now, do you know what you're doing? Is it just teasing, or is it ...... You actually have me in your heart, but you're running away? ”

My heart was beating so fast that I even felt like I couldn't sit steadily, my limbs trembled slightly, and I was weak from head to toe.

She was in a bustling night market, but she felt that the atmosphere around her was quiet, so quiet that she could hear the flow of blood and the buzzing of her ears.

Having known him since she was fourteen years old, she showed him only one person who was domineering and rude, and she never thought about the reason, even if she agreed to try with him in confusion, she still wanted to gain the upper hand at any time, refusing to accept being disturbed by him, and unwilling to trust him completely.

Does she know what she's doing?

I know, but I see, I don't know.

The little electric donkey continued on the road, and it could run about 60 kilometers at a time, from the office building where the studio was located to the CCTV Tower, about 18 kilometers, and they rode over in this way.

By the time we got to the bottom of the tower, it was nearly half past eight.

On the way, she didn't say a word, and Shen Feibai didn't say anything again. The strange thing is that he actually recognized the way, did not stop all the way, and the sense of direction was very clear.

After parking the car, he went to buy a two-person night ticket.

At this point, there are not many tourists.

He also seems to have a clear purpose, and he doesn't plan to go sightseeing all the way, but only goes to the observation deck.

Here, Zhou Jiyou came here when he was a child, and it was the first time he came back to Beijing when he grew up. She was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Shen Feibai looked at her sideways, his gaze was quiet and far-reaching: "Come and see Beijing." ”

Her heart shook, and she bit her mouth. She had a strong premonition that something hidden between them might change qualitatively this time. Her face was unwavering, but her mood began to fluctuate.

The elevator rises quickly, reaching the top of the tower in less than a minute.

In 08, the smog in Beijing has not yet attracted attention, standing on the observation deck, overlooking Beijing, brightly lit, colorful, like a galaxy.

"Many years ago, Beijing was just a name symbolizing the capital for me, I had seen it in books*, I had seen the Great Wall, I sighed at the great capital of the motherland, and I never thought that I would go to other places further away besides Hefei."

The wind was blowing on the open-air observation deck, and his voice was elongated in the wind, showing a bit distant and ethereal.

"Later, Beijing became one of my dreams, and one dream connected to another. It's nothing to get here, but more importantly, with your ability, stay here. It was nothing to stay, and most importantly ......"

He turned to look at her.

She was holding a high-powered telescope in her hand, bent slightly, her eyes were watching, her heart was absent, and her nerves were tense.

"Wait for the opportunity to have a home."

There was a buzzing sound, like a bell, striking the atrium.

She slowly removed her eyes from the eyepiece, straightened her waist, looked at the mesh window in front of her, and asked herself, and she was asking him: "When you go back to Nanxiang, you can live a thousand times and ten thousand times better life than here, do you really plan to live in Beijing for the rest of your life?" ”

Shen Feibai looked at her, his eyebrows twisted slightly: "What is your definition of a 'good life'?" As long as you have money and status, you are willing to be a pawn to be used by others? ”

His sudden solemn tone made her breathe falter, and her eyes turned to him in disbelief.

He took a step closer, facing the inadvertent gaze of other tourists, leaning over, lowering his eyes, and the line of his eyebrows was clearly enlarged in front of her eyes: "You long for freedom, and I also have the ...... for longing"

His eyebrows were close to her, and she held her breath.

His lips suddenly closed, and his Adam's apple rolled, as if he had held back something. A white light flashed in her mind, and she felt that he could hold back one word, just one word-you.

"Shen Feibai ......" They all completely ignored the surrounding environment, she didn't think about anything, she didn't think about anything, she just looked at him, looked at his deep eyebrows, and looked at his slightly abnormal expression, "What do you recognize me?" ”

He seemed to pause, then avoided her gaze and prepared to straighten up.

She didn't allow it, so she straightened his neck with both hands, and then held his cheeks with both hands, and ordered: "Look at me, you have to be sincere." ”

He slowly showed a light smile: "Aren't you not used to it?" ”

"......" she paused, and her aura hardened, "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it." ”

"Don't care about it in the future?" He asked, with the same look she'd been trying to dodge.

"Then it depends on whether your answer satisfies me." She struggled to meet it, her eyes calm.

Shen Feibai looked at her deeply and said, "In many cases, people don't need a reason to do something. ”

The idea of chasing her has never stopped, and there is no need to insist on tracing the reason.

I chased it when I wanted to, and I never regretted it.

There were no stars in the sky, but Zhou Jiyou felt that it was because all the stars were gathered in his eyes as vast as the sky, bright and deep.

Lose and lose, she thought.

If there is no other starry sky in the world for her to ask for, then she wants this one in front of her.

Her hands on either side of his chin caressed him tenderly, lifted her neck, leaned in, and kissed him firmly.
