Riverside Hotel is holding a small photography exhibition, with the theme of the renovation of the old town of Lucheng, showing the buildings and street scenes in the demolition area, market life and other aspects. The creator of this exhibition is none other than Steven, who is passionate about photography.

Chiba naturally wants to go to the show, she is Steven's number one fan.

The exhibition hall is located in a corner of the hotel lobby, with a small area, but the atmosphere created is not inferior to the professional film festival. The photos are all in black and white, and the monochrome images can better reveal the changes of the times and humanistic care contained in the process of urban development.

Steven's lens language is unpretentious and understated, but he never deviates from the focus on people. His perspective is peculiar—the star posters on the ruined walls, the birdcages that were not taken with the relocation, the carvings on the beams of the old houses—all of which are the daily lives of the residents of the old city, but the phrase "once was" must be added in front of them.

"Wow! Steven is simply an artist! Stepping into the exhibition hall and looking at the highly artistic works, Chiba sighed repeatedly, "I didn't expect him to be so good at photography, it's amazing." ”

Rabbit was much calmer, to be precise, she had no interest in the exhibition and the people who set it up, and she came with her because of the fact that she was working together - Steven was her superior anyway.

"It's so-so, skipping work at any time turns out to be shooting these broken things."

"I can't say that, Steven often works overtime, and the company agreed that he won't take attendance."

"This is how stinky virtue comes out, if I were the boss, I wouldn't be special."

"But he is really good, he can even be so professional in his hobbies, and he can also hold a personal film festival."

"Professional fart, as long as you are willing to pay money, you can also rent a venue for exhibitions. I think he's better at changing his temper for the better than anything else, and he's not going to be a single dog at this age. Let me tell you, whether the opposite sex is good or not is the indicator to verify whether a man is good or not, and from this point of view, Steven is actually a failure, and his emotional intelligence is zero. ”

"Why, he's very knowledgeable and charming, and you have a prejudice against him. In fact, it's not that he doesn't attract people of the opposite sex, it's that he doesn't look down on the girls in the company at all. Chiba is busy arguing for his "idol", "What he pursues is not an ordinary romantic relationship, but a spiritual level of mutual integration." ”

Little Rabbit looked at her with disdain and said sarcastically: "Yo, I understand a lot, he told you?" ”

"How could he tell me this, what I saw in the magazine, what he interviewed."

"Do you like that black-faced monster, the way he looks like he's nowhere to be seen."

"Don't talk nonsense, I just have respect for Steven, when the teacher is watching." Walking past a photo, Chiba stopped to taste, "Besides, what kind of green onion am I, he is so talented, how dare he talk about life without the ability to know astronomy and geography." ”

"I don't like him anyway, it's not my cup of tea......" The little rabbit pouted and raised his head and glared, but his eyes were locked somewhere in front of him, "I'm an outsider." ”

"What is outsourcing?"

"The Appearance Association, well, that's it." The little rabbit pointed mysteriously forward.

A few meters away from the two of them, a young man in white was staring intently at the photos on the wall. The lamp hit the wall and reflected his face like a jade plate. The boy's eyelashes are naturally upturned and romantic like poetry, and despite the side face, the full pupils still project an extraordinary intelligence and composure. The best thing is that the meridians on the neck are clearly visible, like a stream running through a mountain ridge, which is beautiful.

"Song Yingchen!" Chiba exclaimed, and then felt that it was a little inappropriate to make a loud noise on such an occasion, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Song Yingchen looked sideways, and his high nose turned around first, like an electrode, which made the little rabbit feel that his limbs were soft. He calmly stepped up to the two of them, revealing his full white teeth.

"You're coming to see the show too?" He asked.

"Yes." Chiba nodded, focusing on his shoulder, "How's it going, okay?" ”

"The bandage was removed, and the doctor said that the healing was good, and as long as I didn't do strenuous exercise for two months, I would be fully recovered."

"That's good...... Chiba turned his head to look at Little Rabbit, "That's right, this is my colleague Little Rabbit, Little Rabbit, this is Song Yingchen." ”

"Hello." Song Yingchen humbly stretched out his hand, and as soon as his slender fingertips touched the little rabbit, the little rabbit blushed.

"You...... Good. The little rabbit was deeply attracted and really felt what it means to be a prince in reality.

"You know this Steven?" Song Yingchen asked.

"Acquaintance!" Xiaotu preemptively answered, "Our company is engaged in design." ”

Song Yingchen smiled politely.

"I know him well, and one of his students is an alumnus of mine."

"Really, you're also an artist!" Little Rabbit grabbed the words again, walked forward half a step, and crossed Chiba, "I especially like people who engage in art, and they have demeanor and temperament." ”

"Thank you, I'm not engaged in art, Chiba knows, I'm a layman."

"Shhhh Chiba looked around and thought that chatting was a bit out of place.

Song Yingchen also realized that it was a bit rude, so he lowered his voice and asked, "It's rare to meet, let's eat together later?" ”

"Not today, I made an appointment with the little rabbit ......"

"Together!" The little rabbit replied, his voice was excited, and some people around him cast disgusted glances.

Song Yingchen hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, whatever you want to eat, you can choose." ”

Chiba was attentive to the exhibition and did not answer.

Little Rabbit was very excited, and immediately proposed: "I know that there is a good Japanese food nearby, and it will only be twenty minutes from here." I have a membership card and can make a reservation. ”

"Then please book a table, six o'clock." Song Yingchen looked at the watch, it was a tourbillon automatic skeleton mechanical watch, "Let's visit the exhibition first, and set off at 5:40." ”

"Okay, let's wait in the lobby then!"

"I'll see you later, I'll go over there and say hello to my friends." With that, Song Yingchen walked in the other direction.

The little rabbit kept staring at his back, and an unusual smile spread across his face.

"Let's go, why are you stunned?" Chiba moved to the exhibition, saw her standing stupidly in place, and greeted.

"Chiba, who is he?"

"Ah...... Oh, the son of a relative's family. ”

"You guys have a good relationship?"

"Well, it's not bad, he's very enthusiastic and kind."

"The most important thing is to be handsome and so rich. Do you see, the watch he wears is a tourbillon, and this kind of series alone costs more than 400,000 at the entry level. Tsk, why can't my relatives give birth to such a son. ”

Chiba was a little at a loss for what to do.

"Let's stop talking, everyone is watching."

……

The Japanese restaurant is called "Kawashima", which was named after the Japanese owner.

The store is not big, although there are two floors, the business area is only about 100 square meters. The first floor is a counter and a single seat around the bar, and the second floor is divided into several tatami mat-style dining areas.

After the three of them sat down, Song Yingchen handed the menu to Chiba, who had never eaten Japanese food and handed it to Little Rabbit, who was thinking about ordering it, and felt that it was so unladylike and returned it to him.

"You're so polite, then I'll come." Calling the waiter, Song Yingchen quickly ordered the dishes, turned to the last two pages of the menu, and asked the two, "Do you drink?" ”

Chiba and Bunny glanced at each other.

"Don't drink it."

"Drink!"

They both replied at the same time.

"I want to drink it too. Two-on-one, you minority obey the majority. He squeezed his eyebrows at Chiba, and then asked the waiter, "What's the wine?" ”

"Sir, we have sake, beer, shochu, wine, and all kinds of whiskey."

"Is there any white wine?"

"I'm sorry, it's only red."

"How can seafood go with dry red." He shook his head, looking like an expert, "What are the sake brews, and are there any ginjos?" ”

"It seems that Mr. is an expert, and our family's ginjo is from Nagano, and it is 100% beautiful mountain nishiki polished rice."

"A bottle, thank you."

"Okay."

After ordering the food and drinks, he added sashimi soy sauce and wasabi to the empty plate in front of Chiba, and then also helped the little rabbit to configure it properly before it was his turn.

"What is this for?" Chiba did not shy away from his ignorance of Japanese food, and blurted out a question.

The rabbit pressed his jaw downwards and instantly made a surprised expression.

"Later, the tattoo will come up and dip it in it, the taste will be more layered, and the fishy smell can be suppressed." Song Yingchen patiently explained.

When he said this, he noticed the little rabbit's micro-expression for a third of a second.

"Mustard is very rushed, the more people who like it, the better, if you don't like it, you may not be able to accept it, so let's come a little less." He continued, while filling the Chiba cup with brown rice tea, but not adding it to himself and the rabbit.

Little Rabbit felt embarrassed here, and hurriedly picked up the teapot: "I'll come." ”

She poured it for him first, and then poured herself a glass.

"What does Yingchen do?" She asked suddenly, and used such an intimate title, which made Song Yingchen stunned.

"I just returned from studying abroad, and I'm idle for the time being."

"Now those who are idle don't have to work hard for life, it seems that your family is good. In which country did you study? ”

"California, USA."

"I love California the most!" The little rabbit clapped his hands, and Chiba was startled, "The sun, the beach, and the air are full of freedom, it's a paradise." ”

"You've been there too?"

"Huh? Oh, no, but always wanted to go. Will you go back, or will you stay in the country? ”

"I don't know, I might have to go back."

"Then I can find you when I go to the United States?"

The rabbit's self-acquaintance was powerless, and Song Yingchen had to smile slightly awkwardly and change the topic.

After eating a meal, he was quite happy, and the gushing little rabbit brought out the essence of his "problem girl" to the fullest, and Song Yingchen has always been patient and cooperative, but Chiba is silent.

She didn't dare tell them how much she loved the food. The springy, melt-in-your-mouth seafood is infused with the unique flavor of Toei sauce, which is a new soothing thing for the mouth and stomach. She had never eaten anything so delicate and delicious, and she finally saw how rich the so-called Japanese food was, far from being comparable to the few slices of salmon sashimi in the company restaurant.

"Hiccup......" She hiccuped for a long time, and was worried that she would be teased, but saw that the two people at the same table were chatting happily, and they didn't care about her existence at all.

That stupid idea popped up again - Song Yingchen is a charming sight to wear with any girl, including a baby-faced rabbit.

Except for her, standing beside him like a buddy.
