Chapter 186: I Want to Be the Root of a Flower
Chen Shi can't be as decisive as his mother, his life and death are uncertain, and people can't escape the pursuit of death at all.
For himself, whether it is his mother or Xiuxiu, they are a ghost in this time and space. Ah said that if you die in time travel, you can't live in reality. But if you can't complete the task, you won't be able to see where you end if you are eliminated.
Is it worth it for such a family?
Soon he affirmed this decision in his heart, if it was in reality, he would definitely save Xiuxiu without hesitation, even if she was cramped and skinned for her, and she would not hesitate to recover. No matter what time and space it is, it is not fundamentally different.
β¦β¦
"Clickβ"
I don't know how long later, hearing the sound of the key opening the door, Chen Shi and his mother glanced at each other, did not speak, and stood up towards the door at the same time.
Xiuxiu walked in.
"You ...... Ready? β
For some reason, Xiuxiu's expression was a little embarrassed, seeing her brother and mother waiting for her neatly here, she was a little uncomfortable, so she could only find something to say for herself: "That...... The car hasn't turned off yet, so let's go when you're ready. β
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Mother didn't say much, and her half-white hair, which was over the age of six, was all white because of the exhaustion of the past few days. The rickety body walked and staggered. Chen Shi is very sad, in another time and space, many years ago, his parents went out to work and never came home.
Xiuxiu pursed her lips, although she was a little impatient, but she dutifully stepped forward to support her mother and opened the co-pilot's door for her.
"Sit in front, the deceleration glass is not easy to get motion sickness."
I always thought that Xiuxiu was indifferent to her family, but she didn't know that she remembered everything. When she was very young, once her mother took her back to her hometown by bus, the journey was not far away, and her mother fainted all the way.
Chen Shi has heard the saying that motion sickness is hereditary. It's strange to count, obviously he and Xiuxiu don't get motion sickness, how did they inherit it?
Xiuxiu's car was an ordinary SUV, and it was quite spacious to sit on, Chen Shi leaned back and chose a comfortable position to lean on.
"Xiuxiu, this exhibition ...... How long have you been preparing? β
Mother wanted to talk to Chen Xiu, but she was looking for a topic without a match. Through the rearview mirror, Chen Shi saw her mother's melancholy face, perhaps for her, this was her daughter's final farewell.
"It's been half a year......"
Xiuxiu held the steering wheel with one hand, and stroked her hair with the other, as if to hide her embarrassment: "After all, this theme ...... Not very inspired. β
Maybe this sentence is wrong, Xiuxiu rolled her eyes downward after speaking, and the corners of her mouth made a "tsk" sound.
"What's the theme?"
The mother did not see her embarrassment, and continued with the words.
ββ¦β¦ Family. β
Even if you don't want to talk about it now, everyone will know when you get to the venue. Seeing that her mother and brother were in the car, Chen Xiu simply changed her train of thought and softened her tone.
"That...... Mom, brother. β
Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I have been preparing for this exhibition for a long time, and the company said that such an issue must be published, and I can't help it...... Therefore, if you have offended a lot before, if you have anything bad to say tomorrow, don't debunk me. β
Hearing this, Chen Shi wanted to laugh in his heart. How awkward it is to say it is only Chen Xiu herself knows, in front of her mother, she would never speak like this, but now that she has use value, her attitude has changed.
Not to mention the exhibition, whether or not you can survive until tomorrow is the biggest question.
β¦β¦
Xiuxiu's speed was not fast, Chen Shi waited all the way, waiting for the man who took the hitchhiker, waiting for the car to break down, waiting for the fat master driving the pickup truck, waiting for the crane to come, but in the end, nothing, nothing happened.
The road went smoothly, and I drove to Linshi and drove to the hotel that the agent booked for Chen Xiu.
The hotel is only a 10-minute walk from the exhibition hall of the second day exhibition, and Xiuxiu's room is on the third floor, room number 0319. At this time, it was dark, the chandelier at the front desk was very bright, and the little girl on duty was lying on the table watching Korean dramas, with tears in her eyes, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly stood up.
"Hello, the room I booked is 0319, can I change the suite?" Chen Xiu handed over the barcode on his mobile phone.
"Oh, I'll look it up later."
The little girl didn't have much work experience, so she hurriedly tossed the computer in front of her, and finally changed her busyness to a smile after a while: "Yes, 0202 is still empty, do you want to change it?" β
In the end, Chen Shi took the room card of 0202 and checked it over and over again. 0319,0202,These have nothing to do with 1217 no matter how they are contacted.,And there was no thing I expected to happen along the way.,Is it all over like this?
In the end, Chen Shi decided to remain vigilant. Everything is never done until the last minute.
After entering the room, Chen Shi didn't say a word, first put on the door blocker, and then conducted a carpet inspection of the room on the inner and outer three floors. The bath bomb is no problem, the gas is no problem, there is no wall-hung stove, there is no gas stove, the bedrooms have windows, and the exhaust fan is working normally......
Walking on the bunk with apprehension, Chen Shi couldn't sleep at night, obviously he was too safe to be safe, but he felt panicked inexplicably. This panic did not come from this hotel, but from another time and space.
I don't know what happened to Xiuxiu there.
β¦β¦
It wasn't until dawn that Chen Shi vaguely fell asleep, and before he could sleep soundly, Xiuxiu came to knock on the door: "Brother, get up, I'll go to the exhibition hall to decorate it first, and you can bring your mother over later." β
"Oh, good."
Dizzy, but Chen Shi still chose to put on his clothes and get up quickly.
When I came to the exhibition with my mother, I saw Xiuxiu talking to a woman in her fifties with exquisite makeup, and when she saw herself coming, Xiuxiu took a step in the middle with a smile and began to introduce: "This is my mother, this is my brother." This is my boss. β
"Hello."
The woman put on a professional smile, politely shook hands with herself and her mother, and looked at Chen Xiu: "You also said that the family will not come, and if you don't come, you will miss the most exciting things." β
In her mother's stunned eyes, Xiuxiu smiled and walked to the middle of the booth, in front of a cloth-covered wall, and tore off the cloth wrapped around with all her might.
"Wow-"
The huge canvas fell in response, and what caught my eye was a huge oil painting of 3 meters by 3 meters, with the name of the painting written at the bottom right: I would like to be the root of the flower, and the name of the painting was Chen Xiu.
The painting shows a slightly chubby, plainly dressed woman, with half-white hair, a somewhat rickety figure, and wrinkles on her face are in place. She was facing forward, her feet shoulder-width apart. One arm is raised high near the ear, and the other is in a graceful dancing posture, with both hands lifted.
The hands are drawn very large, and in each hand there is a baby holding a large hand, a man and a woman.
At this time, there were many, many people gathered in front of this painting, and the boss gave a look, and Xiuxiu introduced the painting without stage fright.
"Today's theme is home."
