Chapter 7: Evil Grows on the Side of the Gall

Li Shi in the process of creation, exuding an unprecedented quiet and charming, if we meet in such a scene, I think I will be fascinated by her, she painted for a long time, I really want to know how good her is, so I walked to her side, stretched out her head to look at her sketchbook, but unexpectedly this action immediately aroused her disgust, looked at me with an idiotic look, and asked for a long time: "Can you not appear in front of me?" ”

With a smile I muttered, "If you don't want to see me, you can go!" ”

"What did you say?"

I covered my chest, twisted my face and made a painful expression and said, "I said, please don't be so ruthless, especially in the face of a handsome guy." ”

"Boring."

I pretended to be curious, pushed Li Shi next to me and said, "Putting aside personal prejudice and grievances, what do you think of me?" ”

"Can you not make me think that you have no good points except this poor mouth?"

For the first time, I felt that my face was hot, my face was flushed, and I felt a burst of grievance that I couldn't vent in my heart, and I shot back seriously: "Do you know what the biggest difference is between me and you? That is: I have nothing but handsomeness; And in addition to being ugly, you also have a sick ......"

Li Shi ignored my interruptions, quickly signed the date and name on the sketch, then turned her head in the twilight and smiled, "Really? ”

I was laughed at by her, so that I didn't feel confident, and I began to doubt myself in my heart, am I still the folk male god who was screamed and shouted by countless girls in the school band before?

Looking at her skeptical gaze, it seems that I am really not......

Maybe these sour lives have filled my throat with hoarseness and misery, and I can no longer sing the little fresh songs of no disease*...... Thinking about it, it's been a long time since I've met a tourist with whom I can talk about music, and after a calm smile, I began to rejoice again, fortunately the twilight has blurred, and fortunately, the darkness can contain all my embarrassment and shyness......

……

Back in the store, I turned on the switch of the lantern at the door to add some flavor to the night that had just begun, and Li Shi did not immediately go back to the room, but used the desktop computer not far from the front desk.

As the store manager, I still just treat Li Shi as a temporary guest, habitually according to the usual hospitality, brewed her a glass of honey lemonade, and sent it to the bar, and then I was a little curious about what she was searching for, but she glared at her, quickly dragged the scroll bar on the right, almost blinded my eyes, and finally ended up boring.

"I won't drink it, I'll bring it over."

"It's not aimed at you, and I don't plan to slap you, as long as I'm here to surf the Internet, I'll send you a glass of water, don't drink it if you're afraid of being drugged, it's better to move out of here."

Li Shi's face suddenly changed from doubt to thunderstorm, glaring at me angrily, but she seemed to be tired of arguing, and finally did not choose to open her mouth to fight back.

……

When I returned to the counter, the quiet environment gave me inspiration from time to time, and I also threw myself into my busy work and began to sort out the business plan sent to me by Secretary Gou. I know that this is the only way to have the chips to play with Lao Gou, otherwise if he really wants to deal with me, he can solve all the problems with just a call to the police......

Before I knew it, the night had come completely, and the retro pendulum clock on the wall was shaking tirelessly, advancing the time minute by minute, and neither I nor Li Shi made a sound, but she deserved to drink the honey lemonade I had brewed for her.

This continued silence was finally broken by a phone ringing, I raised my head, Li Shi picked up the phone and looked at it, then temporarily left the hall, walked outside, through the camera installed at the door, I noticed that she seemed to have walked far away, her thoughts were interrupted by the ringtone, so I simply let myself rest for a while, at this time, I was a little curious about what she searched, so focused on watching for dozens of minutes.

Walking to the computer used by Li Shi, I moved the mouse and clicked on a series of her web windows, and suddenly felt funny, she was searching for guitar tutorials and guitar brands, could it be that she was aroused by my afternoon playing and singing?

When I was proud, my eyes inadvertently fell on the sketchbook with a beautiful cover, once people's desire to snoop was aroused, they could not be suppressed, after hesitating for a moment, I picked it up carefully like a thief, and then stood at the door of the store with a weak heart to flip through it, for fear that Li Shi would come out of nowhere.

She should have always had the habit of drawing sketches, I looked at the date of the first sketch, it was painted from May last year, and I can't translate the following short paragraph in English, but from the appearance of the building in the painting, the first dozen or so are foreign buildings, two of which I recognized, one is Tower Bridge in London, and the other is Big Ben in England, although I don't have much knowledge in painting, but it is not difficult to see her painting level, whether it is line or composition, are very tense, This made me wonder what her Youtu Youth Hostel looked like.

I quickly flipped to the latest sketch, but I was instantly moved by this painting, and if someone pointed to the picture at this moment and introduced that it was a work created by a professional artist, I would not doubt it at all.

The composition of the picture is very simple, but in a limited space, the best scenery around the hostel, outlined with simple and changeable lines, in this picture, in addition to the outline of the hostel, the surrounding guardrail river, there is also a lonely figure of a man, he is not standing tall, looking into the distance, only looking at a back, I am lonely to death, because that person is me......

In the past, I only dared to post small advertisements outside the door of the coffee shop, and I was afraid that this uncivilized behavior would break the overall atmosphere around the coffee shop and cause disgust to tourists.

Nowadays, if I have this painting as a promotional medium, I can write a line of contact information at the bottom and it will become an elegant poster that will not only not spoil the overall atmosphere of the coffee shop, but also serve as an embellishment.

Thinking about it, I seemed to see that this hall was crowded with tourists who came to stay, and the good expectations prompted me to be angry, and walked outside the store with a weak heart, and after repeatedly confirming that Li Shi did not come back, I carefully took a knife, cut the sketch paper from the book, and carefully tore off the remaining part of the book, and then tried to restore the scene, after everything was in order, I quietly continued to put into the work.

……

Ten minutes later, Li Shi returned, still as usual, without any emotion.

Walking over to the computer, I could feel her turning her head to look at me suspiciously, and the more I had to remain calm in this situation, my fingers tapping on the keyboard so quickly that I didn't have time to look up at her, and sure enough, she sat back down in the bar chair and continued to browse the web.

I was a thief, and subconsciously flattered: "I've been out for so long, the water should be cold, do you want me to help you make a new cup?" ”

Li Shi took her eyes off the computer screen, turned her face to look at me, and said in a nervous tone: "Say, why are you so kind to me all of a sudden?" ”

I sighed and said helplessly: "I just treat you as an ordinary guest, ask as a store manager, I really see what is worthy of your surprise, besides, what is the difference between making a cup of tea for you and two cups of tea?" ”

I talked nonsense, but I blocked everything Li Shi could say, just glared at me angrily, and finally accepted my strong argument.

I took advantage of the victory and continued, "I haven't eaten yet, do you want to have a companion?" ”
