Chapter Twenty-Five: Adam
It had been two days since she arrived at Qin's house, and Mu Yan had the opportunity to appreciate this garden-style mansion.
In the evening, the sunset received the last trace of afterglow, and Qin Hanyang led her around the corridor, turning the rockery and flowers, and walking under a big banyan tree.
The canopy of the banyan tree is like an umbrella, the trunk is thick, and the tree hangs down with wisps of fibrous roots.
"What a big banyan tree!" Mu Yan excitedly walked over and hugged the tree trunk, her face pressed against the tree trunk.
"This tree was planted by my grandfather when he was a child, and it is more than 100 years old."
"Then this tree must have an aura, let's make a wish to it!"
"What do you wish for?"
Mu Yan thought for a while, "Just make a wish that we will be together forever!" ”
She took Qin Hanyang's hand and hugged the tree trunk together, closed her eyes, and acquiesced in her vow of love.
Qin Hanyang looked at her silly appearance with a smile,
"Wow, that's so romantic!" Qin Hanxuan walked over from the direction of the parking lot with a sketchpad on his back.
"You Chinese have feelings!" A blond-haired and blue-eyed man jumped out from behind Qin Hanxuan and said in fluent Chinese.
Qin Hanyang hurriedly withdrew his arms, a little embarrassed, he would go crazy to accompany this girl to mess around, what kind of wish did he make? Oaths are nothing more than momentary gibberish.
Mu Yan silently recited the vow in her heart three times before slowly opening her eyes.
"This is Mu Yan." Qin Hanyang introduced, "This is my younger brother Qin Hanxuan. ”
"Sister-in-law! Hello sister-in-law! Qin Hanxuan's face was full of brightness, looking at Mu Yan and looking at his brother from time to time to make a grimace.
"Hello sister-in-law! Hello brother! My name is Adam. ”
Mu Yan looked at the foreign youth strangely, wearing a T-shirt with no visible color, and many irregular holes in his jeans. He carries a heavy camera around his neck and a large drawing pad on his back.
"Let's go, let's go into the house and eat first, I'm dying of hunger!" Qin Hanxuan ran and jumped to open the way in front, and Adam followed him with a look around.
"Let's go, let's go eat and swim together in the evening." Qin Hanyang took Mu Yan's hand and walked one by one.
If time could freeze in this moment, I would be the happiest woman in the world! Mu Yan thought, unconsciously full of love.
Adam became the focus of the family, and Qin's father and Qin's mother were quite enthusiastic about this foreigner who spoke Chinese more standard than herself.
Qin Hanxuan introduced Adam as an American photographer, painter, and member of the Animal Protection Society he met when he went to the wetland to collect wind.
Adam liked Qin Huai'an's clothes quite much, and kept groping with his hands.
Qin Huai'an generously asked Sister Ye to take a set and give it to him. Adam was happy to be like a child, hugging Qin Huai'an and kissing him. Mother Qin was so angry that she giggled so much that tears came out.
"Adam, where is your Eve?" Mother Qin looked at Adam playfully.
"My God Eve has not yet been made!" Adam laughed.
"Good brother! Yours is not made, mine is not yet born. Qin Hanxuan high-fived and clinked glasses with him, like brothers reunited after a long absence.
Sister Ye picked out a set of pickled green short-sleeved tops and trousers, and Adam trotted all the way to the bathroom to change them. The pickled green ribbed pattern clothes are worn on his thin and tall body, which has a unique literary and simple style.
Dinner was lively, and Adam was the well-deserved protagonist, talking about his adventures in the western United States and the adventures of the Grand Canyon, everyone was deeply attracted to him.
He said that he had always wanted to come to China, and that he was influenced by his brother and liked Chinese culture so much that he studied Chinese in college. I have been in China for half a year this time, I have traveled to many places, I like China very much, and I have always wanted to experience life in Chinese home, thanks to meeting Hanxuan and bringing him to my home.
After dinner, Qin Hanyang took Mu Yan to swim, his backyard is the swimming pool, Mu Yan said that there is no swimsuit, Qin Hanyang said that he is not afraid, he can swim naked at home.
Mu Yan shyly wanted to beat him.
Qin Hanyang changed into swimming trunks and jumped into the water, turned around and beckoned Mu Yan to take off her skirt and go into the water.
In the south of October, the water in the pond is slightly cool, immersed in the water, and the whole body is refreshing.
"It's comfortable, come down."
Mu Yan was hesitating, Qin Hanwen came over wearing a bath towel, Mu Yan had no choice but to sit upright, stay on the chair by the pool and watch Qin Hanyang swim around.
"Why don't you swim? After a while you won't be able to swim outdoors. Qin Hanwen looked at Mu Yan with a concerned expression.
"I'm not very good at swimming."
"Let my eldest brother teach you!" After Qin Hanwen finished speaking, he jumped into the water and chased after Qin Hanyang, the two of you chased after me, and the waves kept splashing in the pool.
"Mu Yan, do you want to see Adam's photo, the world's top photography, if you miss it, you have to wait another 10,000 years!" Qin Hanxuan stood on the balcony and shouted.
Mu Yan waved her hand to Qin Hanyang, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any objections, she trotted upstairs.
There are many guest rooms in the Qin family, and Adam's room is next to Mu Yan's.
Qin Hanxuan was helping Adam adjust the computer at the table, "You must use the best screen to watch photography, otherwise you can't see the essence of photography, and some screens will be distorted and have color difference." ”
Adam pulled out a large hard drive from his bag, pulled up the folder, and looked at the picture miniature.
Mu Yan suddenly noticed that the women in several photos were very familiar, and she asked Adam to zoom in for her.
"That's not photography."
"If it's not **, show me!" Mu Yan pleaded.
"Brother, could it be your Eve?" Qin Hanxuan teased him.
"Okay, I'll show you, it's my family." Adam clicked on the picture, and Mu Yan saw the woman sideways around the neck of a handsome man, her long hair flying in the wind. The background is a red rocky mountain, which is very magnificent and beautiful.
"This work is very artistic and beautiful, and it is not a photographic work." Mu Yan looked at Adam suspiciously.
"That's Ellen and his Eve, I took a picture of it when we went to the Grand Canyon together three years ago. Do you think it looks good? ”
"Good looking. Who is Alan? ”
"My brother."
"Your brother is as handsome as you are."
"Your sister-in-law is Asian?" Qin Hanxuan asked.
"She's Chinese! It's still from G City! I'm going to go to G City in the next few days to see, the world of flowers! Adam had a yearning look on his face.
"Look at that one again." Mu Yan pointed to a picture on the front.
"Your sister-in-law is so beautiful! Worthy of our Chinese girl! Qin Hanxuan praised.
Mu Yan also saw the whole picture of the woman in the photo, how could it be her!
"Alan is the pride of our family!" Adam said proudly. It turned out that Allen graduated from an Ivy League school and worked on Wall Street.
"But I heard that he lost his job two months ago. It's all a damn financial storm, hopefully he can cheer up soon, he's the best! Adam's optimistic smile returned to his face.
Mu Yan didn't ask any more questions, and while browsing Adam's photos, she asked him about the meaning of the photos. Before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock.
She ran to the balcony to look down, and there was no one in the pool.
Back in her room, Mu Yan couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and the woman's photo always flashed back in her mind.
The next day, when Adam was about to leave after lunch, he exchanged phone calls with Mu Yeon.
"Cute Chinese girl, if you don't have Adam, I'll pursue you." Adam pointed at Qin Hanyang, and then at Mu Yan, "I am very impressed by your eagerness to learn, it is the first time that a girl has listened to me so seriously and patiently about my work." ”
After Adam finished speaking, he carried his huge backpack and Qin Hanxuan on his back and went on a long trip again.
