At the South Bay Pier in December, the sea breeze is quite cool.

I looked at my watch with my head propped up a little irritably, there were less than five minutes left from the ship, but it would take an hour and a half to get to Xiangzhou Island this way, and now I was already a little sick to my stomach, and I didn't know what I was going to faint like when I was going to be.

I closed my eyes and rested, and heard the voices of two girls behind me, one of whom said, "Did you see clearly, did the man really sit in front of him just now?" ”

The other said: "Of course I can see it clearly, he was at the security check in front of me, this kind of thing is going to go wrong, I just waved my knife from the palace, and I have never seen a man look so beautiful!" ”

"Do you have a palace? Wait, there are so many places in this VIP room upstairs, he won't just sit there later, right? Don't ...... for a while."

"Shhh......h

I leaned my head against the window, thinking that their conversation was a bit like me and Liao Xiaofei, I hadn't seen her in months, and I couldn't help but miss her a little. When I opened my eyes, someone sat down in a position next to me.

Inevitably a little curious, I turned my head and wanted to observe the peerless beauty of the two girls. Unfortunately, the man wore a parted hairstyle, which almost covered half of his face like a Sassoon advertisement, and I could only see one chin. The arc of this chin is still quite good-looking, but with just one chin, I can only conclude that he is not a shoehorn face and does not have a receding mandible, and it is unknown whether his facial features meet the three courts and five eyes in aesthetics.

Perhaps the man sensed that I was looking at him and tilted his head, and I quickly turned my eyes back to look out the window, and leaned back in my chair in boredom.

After a while, someone next to me suddenly called my name: "Li Qiao? ”

I subconsciously turned around, it was the person next to me calling me, and when I saw this somewhat familiar face, I couldn't react at all.

He asked me again, "Are you Li Qiao?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, you ......" searched in my mind, "You are my college brother?" ”

He picked the corner of his mouth: "I'm Ji Xingyun." ”

I laughed, and after a few seconds said, "Such a coincidence? You're the same as before, the look has changed a little bit, and I didn't recognize it at once. "I have the impression that when I was in college, he, the male god recognized and sought after by our whole school, was always changing his shape, today he was a decadent young man's long hair flowing, tomorrow he was clean and refreshing, and the day after tomorrow he suddenly shaved bald, and occasionally played the country killing Matt. It's just that his foundation is so good that no matter what kind of thing he makes, the audience will buy it. When Liao Xiaofei came to our school to see him at that time, he commented that this person's natural artistic temperament is incomparable, mainly because of the indifference and uninhibition in his eyes, which is in stark contrast to his bewitching facial features, which can make women change their hearts for him and men change their sexuality for him.

He casually brushed his somewhat eye-covering hair, and his movements and images suddenly looked a bit like a girl's comic, and I heard that he was a quarter of hispanic and his eyes were not too dark brown. He asked me, "Are you going to Voland?" ”

I said, "No, I'll go to the end of the line, go to Xiangzhou." ”

He raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you go to Fulan?" That island is bigger, the coastline is longer, and the beaches are prettier. ”

I shook my head: "But I don't like the beach with fine sand, I like the reef, and people who have been to Xiangzhou Island say that the sea there is more beautiful than the rough waves." ”

He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "You're right, I'll go to Xiangzhou too." ”

I was stunned: "Where are you going to pick the wind?" ”

"Picking?" He frowned: "No, I'm going on vacation." ”

"Oh......" I nodded, thinking that he shouldn't need any picking. At that time, the most senior professor in our college praised him as a genius, because not only was his technique very pure, but his grasp of color was always reminiscent of Monet, and more importantly, his creativity and inspiration. One of the most common legends in the academy at that time was that an abstract painting he had painted when he was nine years old was sent to the exhibition, and the organizer was anonymous, and as a result, many people said that the painting had the charm of Picasso, and there were speculations about which master it was, from the Golden Lottery to the international Alexander Luch Painting Prize winners.

He said to me, "So, where are you going?" Myself? ”

I thought for a moment, "Sort of. "I can't think of a better way to describe it than that.

He lowered his eyes, saw the thing in my arms, and stretched out his finger to point, "Can you take a look?" ”

I lowered my head, hesitated for a moment, and handed him the notebook.

He took it, flipped through a few pages at random, then paused and looked up at me.

I laughed helplessly, and he turned from back to front instead, and turned a few more pages and said, "Is it your boyfriend?" ”

I thought about it for a few seconds, and felt that Qin Yan seemed to have never been at this stage when I was my boyfriend, so I had to say, "It used to be my fiancé." ”

He raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Ever? Is that your husband now? ”

"Now......" I hesitated, then shook my head after a few seconds, "I think I'm a person who doesn't matter right now." ”

The person on the other side snorted softly in his nose and did not speak for a moment.

The boat slowly moved out of the dock, and the hull swayed more violently from side to side. I lowered my head and covered my mouth, and Ji Xingyun said, "Are you seasick? ”

I nodded uncomfortably, and he said, "I have medicine." Then he took out a box of things from the bag he had brought with him, and took a copy out of it for me.

I was a little surprised, reached out and took the medicine, and said, "I remember hearing someone say that you are keen on a lot of extreme sports, and you are so good that you need to bring seasickness medicine with you?" ”

"It's an anti-inflammatory, but it works for seasickness." He raised his right index finger: "One grain." ”

I took the medicine, took one out and swallowed it. Ji Xingyun looked at it casually for a while, and returned the sketchbook to me, "Your light and shadow have improved." ”

I was stunned, took the painting book and put it back in my bag, returned the medicine to him, and smiled again: "Thank you for your advice, and thank you for giving me the qualification four years ago." ”

He twisted his eyebrows together, looking very puzzled: "Let it be given to you?" I don't remember. But if I give up any competition, it must be that I am too lazy to draw. ”

I was speechless, pouted and simply leaned back in my chair to rest. Ji Xingyun took out a game console and didn't say anything more.

In my memory, I only had one contact with Ji Xingyun, when I was in college before, although he was very popular, after all, he was many levels older than me, and he didn't have classes together. In addition, he often didn't even come to school, so my impression of him at that time was stuck in the legends of many people. The only contact with him was in his sophomore year, when the school had to pick a few students' works to participate in a competition that was very important in the country. The teacher also asked me to submit a painting to run for the election, but at that time, the whole school knew that this indicator was none other than Ji Xingyun, so I didn't have much hope.

That day, I was doing color practice in the studio until it was near dusk, and I was about to pack up my things and go home, when I heard someone behind me: "You have some aura in painting." ”

When I turned around, the person standing behind me was actually a great god who was admired and worshiped by many teachers and students, and I don't know how long he stood there and watched, and I didn't hear a sound at all. Still reacting, Ji Xingyun said again: "But the light processing is not enough." As he spoke, he took the brush directly from my hand, dipped it in paint, and changed it directly on my painting, saying, "Do you like neoclassical painting?" JohnReinhard？ ”

Both his actions and his words surprised me for a long time, and after a while, I said, "How do you know?" ”

He raised an eyebrow and glanced at me, and I nodded in acknowledgement, "I like his mermaids, they are more beautiful than fairy tales." ”

He didn't say anything more, and after a few moments, he lowered his head and put down his brush: "You can study Rembrandt more." After saying that, he walked away without even saying goodbye, leaving me with a mysterious back.

Later, my painting was accidentally selected to participate in the competition, and the school began to rumor that Ji Xingyun gave me this place, saying that he told the professor that he voluntarily gave up his candidacy, and before leaving, he turned back and added: "I think that Li Qiao in the second year of undergraduate painting is good." ”

Later, the rumors were even worse, some people said that he and I were boyfriend and girlfriend, some people said that they had seen us dating in the studio, and some people said that I pursued him with a dead face, Ji Xingyun disagreed, so I thought that he would give me the quota as a condition for not pestering him, Yunyun Yunyun. No matter where I went, there was a group of his die-hard fans rolling their eyes at me, and once after class, I heard someone next to me talking about me, and the words were a little too ugly, so I went over and said to them: "I have nothing to do with Ji Xingyun, and I haven't given him any famous watches and luxury cars for him to help me paint, let alone support him, do you male gods who make him look like a seller?" ”

The girl in front of her rolled her eyes again: "You are still arguing here, obviously someone saw him help you change the painting." He doesn't sell his paintings for a seven-figure price, let alone help them paint. If it weren't for the means you used, he would have agreed to help you redraw?! ”

I had nothing to say, I was thinking about whether to go to Ji Xingyun to discuss the rumors together, but who knew that it didn't take two days to hear that he left school to play parkour in Europe, and he didn't appear again until I graduated.

I slept for a long time in a daze, and when Ji Xingyun woke me up, the ship had already arrived in Xiangzhou. I woke up and felt a little itchy on my face, raised my hand and touched it, then wiped my eyes, and found a pair of sunglasses to put on.

When I got off the boat, Ji Xingyun suddenly asked me, "What happened to you?" ”

I was a little stunned, paused for a few seconds, and then continued walking: "It's nothing...... It's a very cliché thing, and it's the guy you see me drawing, and I broke up with him a few months ago. ”

He said, "His name is Cen Jia? ”

I was stunned again and said, "No, what did I say in my dreams?" ”

He said, "You said you regretted reading his letter." ”

I bowed my head and was silent, Ji Xingyun didn't ask any more questions, and said after a while: "Xiangzhou is a good place to heal. ”

On the shore, there are sporadic B&Bs to the dock to recruit guests, Ji Xingyun and me, have booked the largest hotel on the island in advance, the hotel has the entire coastline of the southeast and west of the island are packaged, the hotel is built on the top of the mountain, take the battery car up to the front desk to check in, Ji Xingyun and I went back to the room to rest.

Dinner was ordered seafood noodles in the room, after eating I felt too sleepy, I lay in bed and slept for a while, and then I woke up from the cold, the wind blew the curtains and I could hear the sound of the waves. I got up from bed, closed the floor-to-ceiling window, and walked to the window, a little stunned.

I remember that when I went to the island today, the sea in the west was still quiet, but at this moment, looking out of the window, it was like standing on the edge of a crumbling cliff, and the white waves in the dark kept sweeping and slapping the reef on the shore, and the water splashed against the stone wall and splashed, and then fell back into the sea again.

The salty sea breeze blew my eyes a little painfully, and I suddenly felt that my feelings for Qin Yan were like this sea, when no one knew, it was also so hot, turbulent, and desperate. I am a little homesick, I miss my relatives and friends, but I still can't go back, I have to wait until all the dust settles on its proper trajectory, and when the scars in my heart are completely healed, just like the windless sea at sunset.

Maybe only then will he and I have an end.
