When I woke up, my neck was stiff, I was about to become a crooked old mother, I gently raised my neck and moved, fortunately, I could still move.
I couldn't help but smile, this night, I came over again. I looked up at the still on-line lights.
I slowly got up and walked to the window, the sky outside still did not mean to be sunny, it seemed that it was really the rainy season.
It was a busy morning, and it wasn't until I got to the office that it really stopped.
I didn't think that Li Fan's call came in, this is really a long time without news from him, I was a little excited, slid off the screen and picked up: "Brother Li Fan!" Where did your eagle fly again, I haven't heard from you for a long time. β
As I picked up the phone, I walked out of our office and towards the rooftop, I figured that if this Li Fan opened the conversation, I don't know how long this call would be answered.
"Hahaha! Girl, I want to see you! There was a heroic and hearty laugh from Levan on the phone.
"Don't tell me you're back in Qingzhou?" I asked over the phone.
"Yes, I'm back, here at the old man's place, what time can you come!" He asked.
"Really," I was a little excited, and the point was that I wanted to see his new paintings, and the plateau he described had always fascinated me.
"Well, I've been back for two days, I slept well yesterday, and I want to see my girl full of energy!"
Li Fan on the phone was very excited, and I couldn't help but imagine what he was like now.
"I have to get off work to get to the gallery in about 45 minutes, and at 6 o'clock, I can get to the gallery."
"Okay, then let's go and do the rest first, and then we'll see you at 6 o'clock!" Li Fan said to me, "I've arranged it for the evening, let's eat together!" β
βOKοΌβ
We hung up, and I leaned against the railing of the platform and looked out at the heavy rainy sky.
I stayed like this for a long time, until my clothes were a little damp, and then I turned around and went back to the office.
But the moment I saw Li Fan, it was beyond my expectations, I thought I would see a rugged man with long hair and beard, with that representative plateau red on his face.
But in front of me was a handsome man who was capable and sassy.
Li Fan's long hair was gone, his thick black hair was cut neatly, his silkworm eyebrows set off his bright eyes, and his smile revealed a row of white teeth, but his complexion was slightly rougher.
It's a very manly look.
A plaid shirt, a pair of clean jeans, and casual shoes of the same color, there is a faint smell of cologne.
I couldn't believe my eyes, I looked at Li Fan in front of me, pointed at him and said to my grandfather: "Grandpa, look at Brother Li Fan, he is much more handsome!" β
Grandpa glanced at Li Fan, and actually smiled disdainfully, I don't understand the old man's expression.
Li Fan looked at the old man's expression and laughed, and said to me frankly: "Girl, I went to trim in the afternoon, hehe, when I came in, the old man said that I smelled of yaks." After saying that, he scratched his head.
Yuan Meng smiled secretly on the side, "I doubt that there are lice in that hair." β
"Hahaha, Miss Yuan, it's a bit exaggerated!" He suddenly showed a hint of shyness.
Levan pulled me past me and said, "It's nice to give me a hug!" β
I laughed and took the initiative to go over and hug Li Fan, who hugged me very much, and I quickly pushed him away gently and got out of his arms.
He walked over, took his bag, took out a box from it, and handed it to me with both hands: "I gave it to you!" β
I looked at him in amazement, "What is this?" β
"Look at it!" Li Fan looked at me expectantly, with a look of pride.
I took it and gently opened the box, which contained a slightly withered plant, with dense green leaves holding white flowers, and the center of the flower was brown, so beautiful.
"Snow Lotus? Brother Levine, is it really Snow Lotus? I'm so excited, "Grandpa, you see it's Snow Lotus!" β
Yuan Meng also came over to see, "This is Snow Lotus, such a precious thing!" Wow! β
"Well, I picked it myself, and I said I would pick a snow lotus for you." Levan looked at me intently.
"Thank you, Brother Levine!" Yuan Meng and I looked at this snow lotus carefully.
I seem to smell the plateau.
Li Fan's eyes showed a doting look.
"Brother Levan, hurry up and let me see your work!" I can't wait to see Levin's first paintings.
He nodded, and led me to the bookcase, where there was a thick stack of paintings, pressed against the ruler.
I carefully put away the snow lotus, ran over, and looked through them one by one, while Li Fan explained to me on my side, he was very excited, and his eyes were full of light.
I seem to see the plateau in his eyes in the painting.
After seeing these paintings, I also learned a lot about Tibetan stories, and I was fascinated by them, "I want to go and see them one day." I couldn't help but say to Levan.
"I'll wait for you! Come on! There was a strange light in Levan eyes,
After we finished reading the painting, Li Fan took us to dinner, everywhere we went, Li Fan's hearty laughter, Yuan Meng was very infected, she and Li Fan interacted very frequently, and they were already a pair of living treasures.
The old man was also very excited, and asked Li Fan a lot of plans for the next time.
Li Fan sat next to me, constantly taking care of my food, looking like a big brother, telling jokes with me from time to time, and then looking at me and laughing, there was love in that kind of eyes.
Unexpectedly, there was a small episode during the banquet.
Suddenly, the electric switch in the store exploded, and the entire restaurant exclaimed, and the store was suddenly pitch black. All the people were shouting excitedly, not knowing what was going on.
"Uh-oh......."
"Ahh ......β
In the restaurant, it was like a fryer, and all kinds of strange sounds were screaming.
"Holy! What's going on? β
"What's going on? Do you want someone to have a good meal? β
"What's the restaurant this is? How many cases? Ay! Waiter, where did you go? Give me a move, it's pitch black! β
"Just thinking about making money, can you check it in advance? This is a safety hazard. β
In the dark, the restaurant was in chaos, and everyone was protesting! Fortunately, the neon outside from the large glass windows gradually eased the darkness in the store.
The manager of the restaurant shouted loudly in the dark: "Sorry! Everyone, don't be impatient, it may be a blast, please wait, right away! β
The waiter quickly lit a candle for each table and told us to wait a while.
Some guests were a little happy, "This is an unexpected surprise, the whole candlelight dinner!" Do you want to pay? β
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Li Fan looked at the candle that the waiter lit for us, pushed it in front of me, looked at me attentively, smiled and asked me, "Are you scared?" β
"No, there are so many people, what are you afraid of?" I laughed nonchalantly, "It's a rare time like this." β
"This really understands my state of mind, and it can give me the whole romance!" Li Fan laughed: "This restaurant is good, we will come next time." β
Fortunately, after a while, the lights in the restaurant suddenly turned on, everything returned to normal, and the whole restaurant had an exclamation!
This little episode adds a lot of fun.
When we came out of the restaurant, Li Fan insisted on sending me back, but my grandfather just looked at me silently, didn't say anything, and took a taxi with Yuan Meng to go back to the store first.
I couldn't find a better reason to refuse him, and the restaurant where I ate was not far from where I lived.
I said to Li Fan: "Okay, let's take a walk, just after dinner and take a walk." β
Of course Li Fan was happy, walking beside me just laughing and couldn't find a topic, this big man was as timid as a mouse and shy with a girl when he faced me alone.
I feel funny.
"Brother Levan, when are you still leaving?"
The air outside was humid and the rain didn't continue to fall. However, there was also a mist in the air, and there was a hint of coolness.
"I haven't decided yet, soon, but the next days on the plateau will not be easy, it will be very cold, I will buy the supplies I need and go back." Levan seemed to really know there.
"Then you can repair in Qingzhou in such bad weather, and you can go if you miss this season!" I was naΓ―ve to suggest to Levan.
Li Fan looked at me and smiled, "How is it possible, people are on the road, you can't stop, this season also has things to show in this season, the more difficult the place, the harsh environment, the more mysterious and eye-catching, the plateau in this season, the more beautiful!" More mysterious! I want to show the plateau of this season to more people. β
I was fascinated by what he said, yes! You can't stop on the road.
"Brother Levan, I really don't worship you!" I say it from the bottom of my heart.
"Haha, really worship me?"
"Yes! You are a hero in my heart, and I look forward to more of your works. β
"Next time I come back, I'll give you a map of the snowy plateau alone." Levan looked at me, "As long as you like!" β
"Don't be, Brother Lifan, who doesn't know that your paintings are valuable now, that's called an expensive one, and asking for your paintings doesn't mean asking for your money." I said to Levan with a bit of ridicule, but this is true, Levin's paintings, especially those with plateau themes, according to Grandpa, are expensive.
The phone rang suddenly, and as soon as I saw that it was Zhang Qi, I signaled to Li Fan and picked it up: "Where did you go?" Not back yet. β
"Oh, Brother Levan came back from the plateau, we went to dinner with grandpa, I'm going home, where are you?" I asked Zhang Qi.
"In your home, where? Do you want me to pick you up? β
"Don't pick it up, it's only a few steps away, then you wait for me for a while, Brother Levan will send me back, it's almost there!" I hung up.
"Friends?" Li Fan asked, seemingly nonchalant.
"Yes, he's waiting for me at my house, he's been busy lately! Scorched! I said to him helplessly, "When are you leaving, you must tell me?" I'll send you! β
I deliberately lengthened the distance we met, and I didn't really have much time.
"Well, sure, I'm going to buy some of the things I need to paint, and I'm going to be busy! I'll tell you when I'm gone! Levan said to me.
"I try to find time to go to the gallery on my days off, you can go on Sundays and we can meet."
"Okay, then I'll fight for it too!" Li Fan promised me, he looked at me, a little like he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and I could see that he was a little disappointed.
We parted downstairs in my house, and I watched Levin leave, and then I turned and went upstairs.
The early autumn nights are really cool.
