Chapter 38: The Encounter of Fate
The moon had not yet set, the red sun had not yet risen, and under the street lamps, which had long been extinguished at midnight, only the secluded gravel paths were left with sleeping flowers.
Maybe they also like to get up early, a few starry fireflies are floating in the still silent sea of flowers, like the night in the sky, lit up with the light and fire of the stars.
When Chen Hang first came to this world the day before yesterday, it was at night, accompanied by dizziness, and he slept well, and the day before signing up, he also slept early in order to maintain his condition. And just now, he went to bed early at about 8 o'clock, and his spirit was very full at this time, and he walked lightly among the flowers under the moonlight, facing the big bay not far away, with his hands behind his back, leisurely looking at everything around him.
The bay is a crescent-shaped large round bay, and the shores on both sides of the opening are covered with lush forests - it is an outdoor green belt artificially cultivated by the college, but it is carefully cultivated with seaside river willows and patches of purple lavender bushes that are not found in ordinary green belts......
After a slight half-bend, he finally reached the embankment by the bay, and the entire shore in front of him spread out towards the standard 30° angle directly below his front oblique, majestic and comfortable to meet the refreshing night sea breeze, people couldn't help but close their eyes, and wanted to open their hands to let go of all their bad moods.
"Whew."
Chen Hang took a deep breath, such a clear sea breeze in this luxurious and beautiful seaside villa area, it looked more clear and flawless, and the innocent feeling made him want to sit down gently against the embankment, put out his legs under two silky white admiral pants, and support his right hand between his knee and the right side of his face, quietly savoring the beauty of nature.
But when he looked around, he found something else.
Far below the embankment, on the border between the small man-made land and the sea, a figure in the dark stood there, large and steady, without the slightest hint of wanting to move.
"What is it? ……”
Everyone has curiosity, Chen Hang probed the probe, and after looking into the distance with his empty eyes, he still couldn't see clearly, so he simply walked to the stone staircase leading to the bottom of the dam.
"Huh?"
Just when he walked to the bottom of the steps, Chen Hang noticed the black shadow that was getting closer and closer, and gradually became familiar with it.
It was not the great shadow of a man, for in front of the figure there was a tall easel, and in the direction of the front of the easel, a moonlight like flowing water shone on the front of the easel.
And in such a breeze, Chen Hang seemed to smell the pure fragrance of roses and milk...... Fluctuating, seemingly absent, unpredictable.
It's just that the figure holding the pen in front of the drawing board can also be seen really.
Where the breeze blows, the girl gently holds a small pencil and traces the lines attentively, with a focused expression on her face, she wears a small peaked cap, which seems to be wearing it naughtily, just like the person who Chen Hang hurriedly came to the college at noon yesterday to sign up. The snow-white little short white dress, adorned with a golden ribbon, shows the characteristics of the admiral's suit, and the super short skirt and long jet-black hair, which are also full of style and elegance, fly quietly in the direction of the moon in this breeze.
"Ah, Jimei! Morning! ”
Chen Hang looked at Ji Mei, who was lucky to meet again, waved his right hand, and slowly raised the speed of his steps.
"Huh? …… Yes...... It's you...... Morning, morning. ”
Maybe she didn't expect to be found here, or maybe someone appeared too suddenly, and she seemed a little flustered for a while.
"What are you doing by the beach so early?"
Although he obviously saw the easel, Chen Hang still chose to open the topic appropriately.
"Hmm...... Last night...... Seeing that the moonlight here is very beautiful, I plan to come over and paint the scenery...... But I came here this morning. ”
She put away the pencil in her hand, turned around the white sneakers she was wearing as Chen Hang, and looked at him.
"What about you?"
She seemed to have sensed that this boy was very kind, and she didn't have any other thoughts, just smiled very simply, and the moonlight behind her just now, shining down her side, shrouded her face with the difference between light and bright colors.
"Almost...... I saw a good view last night, and I slept quite early recently, so I plan to go to the beach early to have a look...... In the past, I didn't have such a pleasant seaside view in that place. ”
As he drew closer to the girl, he saw the white paper and lines on the drawing board.
"Are you painting?"
He looked carefully at the large paper on the board.
"Eh......"
As if in disbelief, he looked up at his front again.
And what he saw...... It is a drawing board line that is exactly the same as the outline of the thing in front of it, except for the color.
"Looks so good......"
"Actually, I've already painted a picture here, I want to wait for the sunrise and paint a different scene, as a commemoration before the start of school."
She turned around, took her long hair and swept it in the air, evoking a charming fragrance, and after squatting down slightly, her right hand, under the short sleeves of her special women's admiral suit, took out another painting from the cute style backpack beside her.
And on it, the willows and lavender that depict the seaside exit in front of you, the rippling sea, and the white clouds that appear very clear under the moonlight, everything is so perfect and real, and the light and intensity of the light are grasped incomparably under the treatment of different colors. The painting was like a photograph that locked everything she had seen not long ago.
"This ...... It's amazing, you've been practicing for a long time, right? ”
Chen Hang couldn't help but have some admiration in his heart, although he didn't know the way of painting, his aesthetics still told him that this was a masterpiece that should not be underestimated.
"You have to practice every day...... This is also the task that my father left me, and I have to complete it every day. ”
She seemed to think of her relatives, smiled more warmly, and looked like a happy family.
"Really......"
But Chen Hang also smiled faintly, but he didn't seem to have any intention of having fun.
"Hi ......"
He slowly bent down and sat lightly cross-legged on the somewhat cold floor, sighing in passing.
"Huh? …… What's wrong? ”
Seeing that Chen Hang didn't seem to be very happy, she also asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal...... It's just that in my memory, I've only seen my dad in photos, and I don't even know where he is now......"
His tone was not sad, he had never seen that person, he had never missed it, and there was no intersecting life, so he didn't want to regret it.
"Oh......"
But Jimi fell silent, as if looking down and thinking quietly about something else.
"By the way, Jimei should be a child of a famous family, where did he usually live when he was a child?"
Chen Hang, who didn't want to stay on this topic, quickly mentioned other issues.
"Huh...... That, Youyi always told me not to talk about this......"
She squatted beside Chen Hang, tilting her head and recalling.
"Oh...... I almost forgot, I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay."
Yoshimi smiled sweetly again, looked at the slightly reddened horizon in the distance, and then stood up again.
"Ah, the sun is almost coming out."
"Oh...... Then get ready, I'll just take a look. ”
"No...... Well...... Well, before it gets up, I'll draw your lines into it, and then it'll just be colored. ”
"Take me...... Draw it in too? ”
"Uh-huh."
She nodded slightly, picked up the small pencil on the easel, grabbed her right elbow with her left hand, and stretched a beautiful lazy waist behind her, and the girl's flavor was vividly reflected.
"Come on...... Time is running out. ”
"Uh-oh."
After Chen Hang got up, he stood in front of Jimei not far away, put on a handsome posture a little casually, and quietly watched the girl in front of him busy.
All this ...... It's all an encounter of fate.
