After Cao Ningning separated from Chen Xu, he returned home, opened the door with the key, and after entering the house, closed the door and changed into slippers.

The floor of the living room was in shambles, all kinds of things fell to the ground, and on the ground next to the dining table, there was a bucket of noodles upside down, and the juice flowed all over the ground.

Ignoring all this, she walked straight to the door, pushed it open and walked in, closing it with her backhand.

The room was tidy and tidy, she picked up the remote control of the air conditioner, turned on the air conditioner to heat it, hung the small schoolbag on the hook behind the door, and walked to the desk and sat down.

The table was stacked with textbooks and various tutorial books, and in the center, there was a mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror, stretched out her finger and gestured.

Amid the humming sound of the air conditioner, the temperature in the room gradually rose.

She took off her coat, pulled open a drawer, and pulled out a piece of paper, which she spread out on the table. It was a half-drawn sketch, which was supposed to be a human face, with only a rough outline.

She took out her phone, opened the photo album, and entered a folder full of photos of people's faces, along with the editor's handwritten names.

She flipped to one of the pictures of a young woman with the new English teacher written next to it. After looking at it for a while, he placed the phone upright on a fixed stand.

"That doesn't seem right."

She pulled a pencil from the pen holder, tilted her head against the half-drawn sketches and photographs, and muttered, grabbing the paper, crumpling it up, and throwing it into the paper frame in the corner.

Then, take out a brand new piece of paper from the drawer.

Biting her lower lip, she tapped her nose lightly with the tip of her pen, stared at the photo for a moment, and suddenly shook her head. Reaching out and swiping across the phone screen, a photo was changed.

A middle-aged woman, next to it, is written, the aunt on the first floor.

After another stroke, it was a man in a security uniform, with the words "New Community Security Guard".

Again, it was a young man with Chen Xu written next to him.

She paused with her fingers, stared at the picture for two seconds, and nodded slightly, "That's it." ”

She picked up her pencil, measured the approximate proportions of the photograph, and began to draw on the paper.

I don't know how long later, her phone rang suddenly.

While sketching the lines, she glanced at her mobile phone, and there was a WeChat prompt above, showing a line of words, "Ning Ning, I have something to do when I go out, you ...... yourself"

She withdrew her gaze and continued drawing.

She was so absorbed in her drawings that she did not stop until a feeling of intense hunger hit. Stretched, took the phone, exited the photo, opened WeChat, and looked at the message just now.

"Ning Ning, I'll go out for some business, you can get your own food." Later, another red envelope was sent.

She clicked to receive it, and the red envelope was 200 yuan. She quit WeChat, opened the takeaway APP, ordered a takeaway, called up the photo again, picked up the pencil, and continued to draw.

…………

After Cao Ningning had lunch, he was about to continue, the phone rang, and he wanted to hang up, but when he looked at his name, he picked it up again, "Lily, why are you calling me at this time." ”

"Are your parents home?"

"Not there."

"Then I'll go."

"Okay."

After she hung up the phone, she picked up her pen and continued to draw.

It didn't take long for the doorbell outside to ring. She carefully traced the shadow on her nose before she put down her pen and went outside to open the door.

Lily was a classmate with her, an ordinary-looking girl, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the appearance of the living room and asked in a low voice, "Your parents quarreled again?" ”

"Hmm." Cao Ningning nodded.

"What's the reason for this time?"

"My dad didn't come home the night before."

Lily gave her a sympathetic look and said, "Otherwise, let's go outside." ”

Cao Ningning said, "I bought new headphones last week, and my pocket money was all gone. What about you? ”

"I just bought a new outfit too."

The two glanced at each other, both of them were a little helpless, they had no money, and they suddenly lost interest in going out.

Once in the room, Lily looked at the sketch on the desk, walked over and looked at her, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Chen Xu." Cao Ningning walked over, "Don't move, you haven't finished painting yet." ”

"Huh?" Lily was at first at a loss, thought for a while, and didn't expect that someone she knew called this name, and asked, "Who is that?" ”

Cao Ningning didn't look up and said, "A kind passerby." ”

"Huh?" Lily was even more puzzled, "Since he is a passerby, why do you want to remember his appearance?" ”

"Hmm." When Cao Ningning heard this, he held his chin with his hand, thought about it, and said, "Because he looks more pleasing to the eye." ”

Lily leaned over and looked left and right, although she wasn't ugly, she wasn't handsome, why was it pleasing to the eye? For the aesthetics of friends, I can't complain.

"Speaking of which, you've been learning sketching for a few years, and you've drawn hundreds of pictures before and after, how many people do you remember?"

Cao Ningning said, "There are more than two of them." ”

"That's it, so didn't you learn this sketch in vain?"

"No, after I draw it, I can still remember it for a while. Those who don't see each other often will forget about it. ”

Lily said, "I don't understand, you have such a good memory, and you can memorize words much faster than me." Why can't I remember other people's faces? ”

"The doctor said that this is a dysfunction of a certain part of the brain, which can be regarded as a disease. It's not too serious, anyway, I'm used to it. ”

Lily said sympathetically, "Alas, even the handsome little brother can't appreciate it, and you're too pitiful." ”

"Alright."

Cao Ningning drew the last stroke, put the pen back into the pen holder with satisfaction, picked up the drawing, and unfolded it in front.

"Hey, it's really good to draw, you really haven't learned sketching in vain in the past few years." Lily looked at the sketch and said with some surprise, "Especially this look, it really looks like it's peeking at you, wow, that's amazing." Ning Ning, I think you can consider studying art. ”

"Well, I also think it's the best work I've ever painted."

The more Cao Ningning looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and said, "It's decided, I'm going to post it, just there." ”

"Isn't it?" Lily was a little surprised, it was too strange to post a sketch portrait of a strange man in the room, and she was not a star idol.

Cao Ningning had already taken out the transparent glue and asked her to come over to help.

"Everyone else is sticking star posters, you this, even if you want to post it, find someone who is more handsome." Lily said as she stepped forward to help.

The two worked together and quickly pasted the sketch.

Cao Ningning felt a little thirsty at this time and asked, "What do you drink?" ”

"Let's see what's in your refrigerator." Lily said hopelessly.

The two went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, which contained quite a few things, and the only drink was soda. The two of them each took a bottle and went back to their rooms to chat.

"Let's watch TV, there was a love variety show recently, which was quite interesting." Lily suggested.

"Okay."

Cao Ningning took a tablet and handed it to her. The two sat side by side on the bed and watched.

When the advertisement was played, Lily suddenly remembered something, "The boy in class 6 who is very good at basketball, named Zhou Yang, didn't he ask you to watch a movie, what happened later?" ”

Cao Ningning thought for a while and said, "You mean, the tall one with a heavy sweat sourness?" ”

“……”

Lily opened her mouth and finally said, "Let's watch TV." ”

PS: It's going to be pushed on next week, and May Day is officially on the shelves. Speaking of which, after getting off the new book list, I haven't asked for many votes, but everyone's enthusiasm for voting is relatively high, thank you first. Then, I just want to ask for a wave of recommendation votes to see how many can be increased in the last week before they are put on the shelves. If you have a vote, just vote.
