Stepping out of the narrow circle of life and seeing what this vast world is like is probably the expectation of all young people, and Cheng Lingxi is no exception.

Unfortunately, when she was young, she lacked the opportunity to realize it due to her poor family.

The farthest place that used to be reached by two feet was Beijing, the capital city thousands of miles away from his hometown.

After joining Yixun, the little girl was busy day and night, coupled with the inconvenience of her legs and feet, the area where she could move every day was only one acre and three points of land around the company.

So in all fairness, coming to Xi'an to visit the Terracotta Warriors and Horses this time is a very happy thing in her life.

It's just that with Teacher Xiao by his side, this happiness adds a little throbbing and a little apprehension.

――

As a world-class spectacle, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are never short of visitors.

Lingxi walked through the crowd and looked at it, thinking that these sculptures had existed thousands of years ago, and it was very magical.

On the contrary, Xiao Yun is deeply leisurely and calm, and he follows her wherever she goes.

"Have you ever been here?" Lingxi recalled the smooth process of buying the ticket just now, and couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yunshen changed his tone of interest in the hotel and smiled and said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you say it just now...... I don't even know, you can pick a place you didn't go. Lingxi was a little at a loss, after all, he was too used to thinking about others, and he was even more afraid that it would be Teacher Xiao who would accommodate him.

"It's just a matter of making amends for yesterday's events." Xiao Yunshen replied.

Cheng Lingxi showed a slightly dazed expression.

She doesn't like her own difficulty in her heart, but she really doesn't know how to be likable, and now she looks back, and the way she cried out at that moment on Huashan because she was looked at a few more times is really ugly.

"Let's go, daze." Xiao Yunshen suddenly flicked her forehead.

"Oh." Cheng Lingxi hurriedly took a step towards the next exhibition hall, hoping to say a few witty words to ease the atmosphere now, but he didn't seem to be born with that brain, so he couldn't think of it.

Who knew that when the atmosphere was delicate, a group of young people suddenly came over and asked curiously, "Are you Xiao Yunshen?" ”

Teacher Xiao immediately replied, "No." ”

"Don't lie to people, you are Xiao Yunshen, can you sign for us? I love you so much! ”

"Yes, yes! We are students of Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts! ”

They seemed excited and persistent.

This is an era of face control, and the painter who should be standing behind the crowd has become the idol of everyone because of his good skin.

"I really can't help it......" Xiao Yunshen was a little helpless, but he still took the pen and smiled to help them sign it.

Cheng Lingxi had never encountered this kind of situation, she didn't leave, she didn't stay, so she had to stand next to her and look left and right in a panic.

A student asked curiously, "Teacher Xiao, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Yunshen said: "Play with friends." ”

"Eh, it's a girlfriend, right?" The student peeked at Lingxi, and his attitude was a little hippie smiley.

"It's none of your business." Xiao Yunshen replied with a smile.

He seems to have been given a good popularity aura by God, and even if he says such things, he won't annoy fans.

The students unceremoniously discussed in person: "Teacher Xiao is Lolitacon." ”

Cheng Lingxi hated to hear others describe Xiao Yunshen with strange words, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he suddenly opened his mouth and emphasized: "I'm an adult, I'm his colleague!" ”

It's a pity that she thinks she's loud, and it still sounds weak.

When the group of young people saw this, they immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing that the unrelated passers-by next to her were also attracted by this noise, Lingxi nervous uncomfortably, who knew that she was defenseless, and suddenly Xiao Yunshen took her hand and stumbled out of the encirclement of the students.

"Goodbye, teacher!"

"Teacher, walk slowly!"

The laughter behind him grew farther and farther apart.

Cheng Lingxi's blank brain was first panicked in anxiety, and then filled with the ensuing fear, very worried that the group of children would return to the Academy of Fine Arts to talk to their classmates about the nonsense of "Xiao Yunshen is dating a lame man", and couldn't help but struggle.

But Mr. Xiao held it very hard, and waited until it was a slightly quieter place before slowly letting go of his hand.

Lingxi immediately took two steps away from the side, revealing an awkward look.

"I'm sorry, they were so naughty." Xiao Yunshen curled the corners of his mouth.

"No, it's fine." Cheng Lingxi could still feel the warmth remaining on his skin, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.

"This isn't the first time you've been held by someone of the opposite sex, is it?" Xiao Yunshen asked deliberately.

Cheng Lingxi was stunned for two seconds, and inexplicably learned what he had just said: "It's none of your business." ”

"Why is it none of my business? I'm honored. Xiao Yunshen smiled unabated.

Lingxi looked up into his eyes, then looked away in an instant, and turned away in a panic.

――

Aside from that little episode, the day was quite enjoyable.

After they left the attraction, they found an old restaurant in Xi'an and started eating noodles.

The consumption environment that is not extravagant and pretentious makes Cheng Lingxi's mood gradually become more comfortable.

"Actually, Xi'an was when I was in middle school and skipped class to play." Xiao Yunshen suddenly said while waiting: "I went back and was beaten by my mother." ”

"Why ......" Lingxi was puzzled, she had always been very, very obedient.

"Naughty, when I was a child, the more I didn't let me do anything, the more I wanted to do something." Xiao Yun smiled lightly: "It's been almost twenty years since I think about it now. ”

Lingxi suddenly realized his age and blinked.

"My mother didn't let me learn to paint, saying that I didn't have any savings to send me to the Academy of Fine Arts, I said whatever, anyway, I just wanted to paint, and I ran to Beijing with my bag in my anger." Xiao Yunshen said: "Later, my father looked for half a month to find me, and he didn't say anything after meeting, only gave me 5,000 yuan to help me live, which was still ninety-eight years, and it was probably all his private money." ”

Cheng Lingxi has always lived a life of following the rules, and he can't imagine where he got the courage to face so many uncertainties.

"I'm sorry, why do you suddenly talk about boring things in the past?" Xiao Yunshen helped the waiter who had just come over to bring the noodles to the table.

"Aren't you afraid, what you want is so far away, so impossible to ......" Cheng Lingxi didn't believe that a young boy who had not grown up had the ability to predict the future life situation.

"Have you watched "The Grandmaster"?" Xiao Yunshen asked: "Wong Kar-wai's movie." ”

Lingxi shook her head.

"You can take a look, it's great." Xiao Yunshen picked up the chopsticks and showed a look of reminiscence: "I remember that there is a sentence in it, called "If you don't forget, there will be an echo", in fact, many things, as long as you don't give up, no matter how long the road is, you can finish it slowly, maybe the result is not what we originally wanted, but there will always be a result...... I wasn't really scared at the time, anyway, drawing is the only thing that makes me happy, I'm with my favorite things, why be afraid? ”

Hearing this, Cheng Lingxi was full of emotion in his heart.

But it's a pity that the distant things in the world not only have ideals, but also feelings.

The ideal belongs to the ethereal self, and the object of affection is an equally living person.

She wanted to ask Xiao Yunshen more questions, but after she stopped talking, she finally chose to silently bow her head and eat noodles.

Because those troubles didn't have much to do with him.

I feel uncomfortable just because I can't handle my life.
