065 Probability of encounter
The girl definitely didn't expect Qin Xiong to be able to paint such a beautiful painting, if she appreciated it carefully, she would have a suffocating beauty.
Realistic magical colors.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, turned around and handed the painting book to Qin Xiong, and asked with a smile, "Can you give me this painting?" ”
Without hesitation, Qin Xiong carefully tore off the painting, then rolled it up and handed it to the girl, who smiled and handed him 5 euros
Qin Xiong was stunned and took the 5 euro bill, and the girl smiled at him one last time and waved goodbye.
Looking at her back, Qin Xiong understood.
It turned out that she thought of herself as a street painter!
And he suddenly understood the girl's frowning and thinking for a second as she turned around for the second time.
Maybe it's a pity.
After all, she didn't know how Qin Xiong's painting skills were.
And Qin Xiong has a bit of a homeless man's sense of immediacy.
This 5 euros is enough for the homeless to eat in Amsterdam for one day, and if you save a little, you can also eat for two days.
Of course, accommodation is not possible, and accommodation in Europe is generally relatively high, equivalent to 5 or even 10 times the daily food consumption.
Qin Xiong lowered his head and stared at the banknote in his hand for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: What a kind girl.
When he looked up again, the girl was gone, and suddenly, he felt a deep sense of loss in his heart.
No matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is, no matter how lively the noisy city is, it seems to be eclipsed.
Qin Xiong put down his painting book, put on his shoulder bag, and walked back to Wardel Street.
He returned to his apartment, lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, recalling the girl's appearance over and over in his mind.
He sat up suddenly, took out his sketchbook again, and began to draw the appearance of the girl in his memory.
One, second, third
Qin Xiong happily drew the next one after finishing it, as if he was splitting the coherent movements of the girl in his memory and turning them into static, different angles, different movements, and different expressions.
Knock knock
There was a knock on the door, Qin Xiong went to open the door, and Freddie said as he walked in, "Have you had dinner?" I see you came back early, but you didn't go downstairs to eat, uh, this, this is? ”
Qin Xiong only realized at this time that there were countless paintings scattered on the ground in his room.
Freddie picked up a few to admire, and when he saw that all the paintings were featuring a beautiful and feminine girl, an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Qin Xiong, who is she?"
"I don't know."
"What's her name?"
"I don't know."
"Is she a star?"
"Probably not, I met on the street."
Freddie suddenly yelled at Qin Xiong loudly, "Are you mistaken! Do you have? Or not a man? Since you like her! Just take the initiative and ask her what her name is! Ask her for contact details! Pursue her! ”
Qin Xiong stood at the window against the wall, looked away, and said in a low voice: "Who said I like her?"
His voice was small, like a child denying it.
Freddie laughed and scolded: "What I hate most about you Chinese is this, men are called reserved, women are called reserved, what's what?" Be bold and proactive! If you like it, go for it and express it! Like it or not, it's useless for you to lie to me, and most importantly, whether you are lying to yourself. ”
Freddie would be happy for Qin Xiong's current state.
He has new friends, a new social circle, and should also have a girl he likes!
Even he felt that Qin Xiong, who was already 18 years old, was relatively late.
When he went downstairs to eat, Freddie hugged Qin Xiong and said with a smile: "The next time you see her, you must remember to take the initiative." ”
Qin Xiong was silent, but he was looking forward to it in his heart: next time, will there be a next meeting?
In the vast sea of people, what is the probability of two strangers meeting once?
What is the probability of meeting again?
During the FIFA match day, Qin Xiong stayed in the club to strengthen the actual combat ability in the rain battle environment.
His teammates from the youth team came to train with him on time every day, which made Qin Xiong adapt to such an environment very quickly, and his confidence continued to rise.
Towards the end of the FIFA match day, Qin Xiong gave himself two days off to rest and relax.
Kaahus invites Qin Xiong to hang out, and De Huus, Zeller, and Louisel will also travel with them.
Mid-October.
The Amsterdam Marathon is held.
This nearly 30-year-old event is very popular and is a popular sport.
Qin Xiong was originally excited to participate when he listened to the introduction of Kaahus, a local, but Kaahus told him that the registration time had been closed, and only Kaahus, De Heus, and Zeller, these three locals had signed up, and Louisel, who came to study in the Netherlands, also felt very regretful, he did not know in advance that there would be such an event in Amsterdam.
It can be said that Amsterdam is an open and lively city, there are controversial big and red light districts, however, there are a lot of active activities, every month, if you are not an office worker or a student, come here for a year, from January to December, every month, you will not be lonely, there will be a variety of activities waiting for you to participate in and enjoy the fun.
Perhaps that's the charm of Amsterdam, and when you really integrate into the city, you'll understand a mantra that locals have on their lips.
"God created the world, and the Dutch created the Netherlands."
The marathon is held on the outskirts of the city center, The www.biquge.info and the finish line are in the stadium, officially starting at 9:30 in the morning, this civilian event, is listed as a silver medal event in international track and field events, and everyone can participate, but the extraordinary thing is that it will also attract masters to participate, this year there are more than 10,000 foreigners who signed up for the competition, of course, not everyone is a marathon professional, some people are here to travel, catch up, and participate in entertainment.
With more than 30,000 players participating, the stadium was bustling with people from early in the morning.
Qin Xiong fortunately came here after meeting up with his friends, otherwise, he might not really be able to find everyone.
De Heus and Zeller were going to compete, and their girlfriends and alumni were coming, and many people from one university were also competing.
"Hehe, it's a good thing you didn't participate, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to outrun you."
Before getting ready to start, Zeller joked at Qin Xiong, who laughed it off.
Today's marathon, he looked at the introduction of the event, it is not too scary, if you run fast, you can definitely finish it in two and a half hours, and if you run slowly, you can return to the finish line in four or five hours.
After the guns were fired, watching the crowd surging out of the stadium like a flood, Qin Xiong was attracted by this spectacular sight, and waved with Luisel to cheer on their friends.
They didn't go with the big runners, and there were fun shows around the stadium to enjoy.
Louisel was intrigued by a local band, while Qin Xiong casually walked around.
In the unfamiliar crowd, Qin Xiong walked carelessly.
More than a week has passed.
He didn't see the girl again.
This did not make the impression of the girl in his mind fade by half a point, but became clearer.
He never regretted it, but suddenly he had such a feeling.
Maybe it's as Freddie said.
When you meet for the first time, you should be bold enough to get acquainted with two strangers so that you can connect.
Just when he was in a sad mood, he inadvertently turned his head, but he was stunned in place.
Outside the stadium, there are performances and souvenirs for sale.
Qin Xiong saw a stall selling drinks, and the one standing there, smiling and selling drinks to customers, was the girl who haunted him!
Compared to the grace and quietness when she passed by that day, today, she looks more energetic, very polite to every customer, and her signature smile can infect the mood and convey happiness just by making people look at it from a distance.
From time to time, she would wipe the sweat from her face, obviously hard, but without the slightest irritability.
Qin Xiong was like a coward, not only did he not step forward, but he also took a few steps back, relying on the endless flow of people to block and cover his existence, staring at the girl not far and not close.
Three minutes later, he began to struggle internally.
Should I listen to Freddy's advice and go up and talk to him?
But how do you speak?
Qin Xiong was about to go crazy, he was afraid that if he missed this opportunity, next time, maybe God would not give him another chance to meet this girl.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
