Love in Egret Lake (2)
"My God, Lan Jingyu also eats both father and son. "I was amazed.
"That woman knows how to use men to pave the way for herself, which is also a skill." Xiao Se was half joking and half mocking, "I have to drive the car somewhere else and get out of the car, so as not to be seen by them and embarrassed by everyone." ”
Xiao Se drove the car out of the mangrove forest, parked it in the open space by Egret Lake, and got out of the car with me.
"I have already visited the other day, the egrets are feeding at the gate of the water every morning, the egret lake is connected to the sea, and the egret knows the time of high and low tide better than humans. When the tide is high, the water is released from the gate, and the fish will chase the water and tumble, and every time at this time, the egrets will all fly over to feed. "He took me to the gate of Egret Lake, and sure enough, I saw a large row of egrets squatting there, about two or three hundred, and the scene was very spectacular.
Xiao Se pinched the time very accurately, and as soon as we arrived, the gate began to release water. Sure enough, as Xiao Se said, the fish in the lake all rolled up, and the scales shone in the sunlight. When the egrets saw the scales glowing, they immediately jumped down and took the fish. The waves are splashing, the egrets are dancing, and it is very beautiful.
Xiao Se held the camera and kept filming, while I watched the egrets swallow the fish with great interest. Haicheng is known as the "Egret Island", but it was the first time I had seen egrets so closely. I didn't expect the egret to be so vivid and interesting, there were seven egrets in the vicinity at the same time spreading their wings to chase the fish in the water, the waves were flying, the scene was as beautiful as seven fairies playing; On the other side, one egret was the first to catch the fish, and immediately several other egrets came to scramble and confront each other in the water, and one of the egrets stepped on the egret with the fish in its mouth; There are also two egrets, one big and one small, fighting for fish, flying and fighting on the water......
I couldn't stop watching such a vivid and interesting scene. Xiao Se told me that the egret's ability to bite fish is very strong, and it only eats live fish, and they don't eat dead fish floating on the water, but as long as they see live fish in the water, they immediately squat, and their whole head is inserted into the water, and they pick up the fish at once, which is not only fast, but also accurate, and even the refractive index of the water is taken into account.
"It's amazing, I can calculate the time of the tide, I even know the refractive index, and I have a lot of knowledge." I sighed to myself.
Xiao Se shot for two or three hours, changing positions from time to time to find the best shooting angle. Sometimes in order to capture a shot, squatting until my feet are numb.
Later, we walked along the lake, Xiao Se said, he will plan a twin tower building according to the intention of the two egrets to dance with each other, the egret twin towers will be reflected in the Egret Lake, the twin towers will be used as a commercial use, and a very distinctive residential area will be planned and designed, the lakeside residences adopt the traditional Hokkien style, and the roadside residential groups adjacent to the traffic passage will use the traditional elements of the "pavilion, platform, floor and pavilion" of the Hokkien garden in the bay window, balcony and terrace design of the residential building. The inner residential group integrates the traditional five-element roof ridge shape of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in southern Fujian. In the core of the residential area, there will also be a mangrove park.
"How can your dad trust such an important project to you, a student?" While his description sounds good, I have doubts that the Shaw Group has a lot of money, and it would be a bit risky to hire a few internationally renowned architects to have a fledgling newcomer take on the task. But an excellent entrepreneur like Xiao Pengcheng will definitely not joke about the reputation of the company in order to praise his son.
He smiled. "I won an award before, and my dad saw the drawings and the analysis of the work and thought I was up to it, and the board of directors approved it."
I was amazed. "Why don't you tell me what award you've won?"
He actually showed a bit of shyness. "The second prize of the 2009 IVA Global Architecture Student Competition is just the second prize, and it can't be compared with your international gold medal, so I'm embarrassed to say."
Xiao Se's award-winning work is related to sunshine. He said that due to the rapid urbanization process, the density of buildings in the city is increasing, and even more than half of the city's surface is covered by buildings. The shrinking area of a city that receives sunlight inevitably creates dark areas. His design reduces the area of shadowed areas by reflecting sunlight through installations installed on the opposite building.
The jury is said to have commented on the design: "It is a poetic design conceived to promote the progress and development of traditional cities, emphasizing people's right to democratic use of sunlight, and allowing city dwellers to share the sun and darkness." ”
Now that the state vigorously advocates the concept of green, ecological and environmentally friendly architecture, Shaw Group has also begun to explore ecological real estate, and residential development will shift from extensive to refined, forming a mainstream model of respecting the environment, reducing energy consumption, and even feeding back to nature. Xiao Se's concept is very consistent with this, and he has participated in the design of many architectural schemes abroad and has accumulated rich advanced experience, so Xiao Pengcheng boldly hired him.
"There is no comparison between different fields. You're already amazing. I couldn't help but shout softly, "You are so talented and have depth of thought, I can't compare to you." You are the Prince Charming that many women dream of, and I have always had no confidence in myself and feel that I can't catch you. ”
His eyes suddenly flashed with a fiery light, and his face became incomparably vivid. "Tong Xin, thank you." He stared at me intently and said, "Such beautiful words will make me ruminate like a cow." It's just that you said the opposite, it should be that I don't have confidence in myself and feel that I can't catch you. Every time I think that when I come back from fame, you may well have married someone else's wife, and it is extremely painful......"
I pressed my fingers against his lips.
"Shh I whispered softly. "How about we all have some confidence in ourselves?"
"Okay." He tugged at my hand and pressed his lips against the back of my hand.
In the morning, the sun shone warmly and warmly on the earth, and the surface of the lake sparkled. The whole lake is like a light ribbon as bright as glass, flocks of egrets fly into the sky from the lake, and the clear water reflects the elegant and feminine posture of the egrets. The camera in Xiao Se's hand no longer shoots egrets, but takes pictures of me everywhere.
On the way, Xiao Se answered a phone call, his tone was very soft, I guessed that the caller was a woman, and then I heard him tell the other party that he was here at Bailu Lake, and asked if he wanted to come over to play together. The other party didn't know what he said, I only heard Xiao Se say: "Okay, then I'll contact you at noon, it's best to meet in the afternoon." ”
He hung up, I didn't ask who was calling, after all, it was his privacy, and he didn't mention it to me.
There are two kinds of pleasure boats, one is a steamboat, and the other is a small wooden boat with a hand-cranked oar, and we all chose a wooden boat. The boat held a long artemisia, and the boat left the shore and began to swing towards the center of the lake. I sat side by side with Xiao Se, I looked at the blue sky and white clouds, the lake and the green trees, and I was intoxicated. It took a long time to notice Xiao Se's gaze, and I looked back at him, he was wearing a blue jacket with a small stand-up collar and plaid trousers, simple and stylish. The sun shone in his hair, on his cheeks, and in his pupils.
"Why are you staring at me without looking at the scenery?" I was half-laughing and half-disgusted.
"You're better than the scenery!" His eyes were still on me.
"Poor mouth!" I laughed and cursed.
"I'm serious." He said.
I looked him in the eye, too. "Then what are you bringing me here for a boat, just find a place, you just have to stare at me."
"That's not going to work." He became more and more serious, "If it's just the two of us looking at each other, I won't get tired of watching it, but you may have aesthetic fatigue, so I have to let you watch something else." ”
I couldn't help but laugh. "I don't get tired of aesthetics."
He looked into the depths of my eyes. "Really?"
I looked at him fixedly, wrapped my arms around his neck, and gave a kiss in lieu of answer. But during this kiss, Xiong Qianyu's shadow flashed through my mind like lightning, and I had to turn my head away at once to avoid his keen gaze.
He sighed softly and took my hand tightly. "It's more atmospheric to take a boat at night than during the day, and we'll come back in the evening."
"Come back in the evening? And what about the afternoon? "I heard him say on the phone just now, there should be an appointment in the afternoon. It's far from the city, so it's a hassle to run again at night.
"I want to take you to meet someone in the afternoon." He looked at me intently, "I know you're still very concerned in your heart, instead of letting you keep thinking about it, it's better to arrange for you to meet and make your own judgment." ”
"See who?" I asked knowingly.
A faint melancholy floated under his eyebrows and eyes. "The one who has gossiped with me."
I turned my head, avoiding facing him, lowered my head, and used my hands to play with the water. The clouds in the sky were reflected in the lake, and when I flicked them with my hand, the shadows of the clouds were all shattered. I stared at the lake in a daze, and my mind was a little dazed.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Se also stretched out his head to watch.
I came to my senses. "I don't know what I'm looking at."
He embraced my waist from behind and whispered in my ear, "You must leave it to me all the time until tomorrow morning, and no other arrangements shall be made." ”
was so domineering, but I didn't want to resist at all, and let out a soft "um" obediently.
At noon we went to a nearby resort hotel halfway up the mountain for lunch. Xiao Se called Xiong Qianyu and made an appointment to meet in the hotel room at half past four in the afternoon, and we opened the room at the hotel at noon. Xiao Se still had a bunch of things to do, and after eating, he went back to the car and got his laptop, which he wanted to take to the hotel room to use.
We entered the hotel and walked to the elevator, the elevator door opened just now, and Jia Siheng and a man walked out of it. The man was thin and tall, at first glance, his figure looked a little like Zhu Zunyi, the biggest difference was that he had single eyelids and godless eyes, while Zhu Zunyi had beautiful double eyelids and flexible and translucent eyes. The man looked older than Zhu Zun, and his appearance was more mature and tough than him, and he was more masculine.
"Yo, Young Master Xiao, what a coincidence." Jia Siheng also recognized me, and a pair of malicious eyes swirled at me, "This is not a suspect who killed my wife, how can he be with you." ”
