I raised my head and saw that He Zhixu was standing beside me at some point, and shook my head blankly: "I don't know what to paint." He pulled the chair next to me and sat down, his eyes fell on the blank paper, and said, "This is not like you used to be." β
"How was I before?"
He chuckled lightly and said slowly: "You will draw with a pen in your hand, and the people, things, and things in the window, and the scenery outside the window will become the subject of your paintings." I like to see you focus on painting, as the saying goes: you look at the scenery on the bridge, and the people under the bridge see you as the landscape. β
I listened attentively, but I bowed my head in a panic when I heard the second half of the sentence. The hand holding the pen has nowhere to put it, and it can't help but clench tightly when it wants to let go. After a long silence, he heard the suggestion in his ear: "If you really can't find what you want to paint, why don't you paint me, I've known you for so long, and you've never painted a portrait of me." β
I slowly raised my head, looked closely at his eyebrows, and nodded.
The fingers have become less flexible because they have lost consciousness, and the pen has slipped away several times, and the lines have become disordered, and I want to take the paper again and draw again, but under He Zhixu's gaze, I feel that this move is too embarrassing, so I can only draw hard.
During this time, he asked Lisa to bring me two cups of coffee, and I only took a sip and didn't drink it again. Because the taste was completely different from the one he had brewed with his own hands, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and it seemed that he was ...... I'm attached to the taste of that latte.
When the painting was finished, I looked up and found that it was already dark, and the customers in the shop were gone, even Lisa and the others were off work, leaving only one light in the hall. He Zhixu didn't sit in his position anymore, he was behind the bar with his head slightly bowed, he should be counting today's accounts. As if sensing my gaze, he looked up, and in a split second he got up and walked out of the bar and towards me.
When I got closer, I didn't ask, just looked down at the painting on my paper, and then smiled at the corner of my mouth: "Little wish, it turns out that in your eyes I am like this?" I said with some surprise: "I haven't painted for too long, I'm unfamiliar, and I've made you ugly." β
Not to mention rusty, the hard lines can only be made up by shadows, so that half of his face is in the shadows.
He Zhixu was not angry, and said while rolling up the painting: "Don't be discouraged, your painting and feel are there, and you will find the feeling and brushwork when you paint one every day in the future." β
"Then this painting ......" I pointed to the scroll in his hand, and saw that he directly used a rubber band to widen it, and then said, "I am the one who drew it, so naturally let me put it here." β
When I woke up at night, my eyes were dark and silent, and I was stunned for a few seconds before I realized where this was. The unfamiliar pattern and the unfamiliar smell of the space made me panic with extreme anxiety, and I hurriedly got up from the bed, pulled the door open, and rushed out.
Unconsciously shouted, "Abble, I'm looking for Abble!" "I couldn't even find the door, and I knocked down a table and chair with a bang, and the sound startled me a lot. Immediately, the light above my head suddenly turned on, and I saw the gate clearly, but I was stopped and hugged halfway, and asked urgently: "What's wrong with you?" β
I turned my head to look, shook my head and said, "You're not Abble, I'm looking for Abble!" Let go of me, I'm going to him. β
"What are you going to do with him?"
What to do with him? By the way, "Abble can help me get into that maelstrom, I'm going to go into that black hole maelstrom." β
After a few seconds, he asked, "Do you remember the whirlpool?" β
I nodded at him eagerly, and raised my hand in front of his eyes: "That's right, there is a very black hole in front of your eyes, and with a slight touch of your finger in the middle, it becomes white from the tip of your finger, and then circle, circle, circle, and circle...... Until the circle gets bigger and shallower, and then a suction force sucks you in slowly, slowly. β
The tone of the tone is gradually lightened, like a dream.
I looked at him quietly, watching those moist and gentle eyes closed by long eyelashes, and somewhere in my heart was dull pain. Clenching my fists, I asked softly, "How do you know Xu, do you remember the whirlpool?" β
"Yes."
"What do you see in the maelstrom?"
"I see the permanence and the ......"
I felt a pang in my heart and asked, "With whom?" β
"Gu Xi."
Fingernails were cut into the palms, and the words were very light: "Why did you only save Chang Yuan?" β
"Choose one of the two, I can only save her."
"Why choose one or the other, why can you only save me? Why can't even Gu Xi be saved? "Three whys in a row, one higher than the other, some emotions can't be restrained.
"There's a lot of suction in the whirlpool, and I can only reach one person."
What did he say? He didn't go into the whirlpool, but pulled me out of the hole...... Gu Xi is still in that whirlpool? Impossible. I gritted my teeth and asked, "What happened later?" β
"The hole is collapsing."
I was stunned, the hole collapsed? grabbed the placket of his chest: "What did you say?" What hole collapsed? β
"After the people were rescued, sand and gravel began to fall from the roof of the cave, layer by layer, layer by layer."
My feet went limp, and I sat down on the ground. The whirlpool is the oily world inside the hanging hole, and the hanging hole has collapsed, is the space of the whirlpool still there? Guxi ...... Shen closed his eyes, tears slipped down the corners of his eyes, and a hole was cut in his heart, deep and painful.
When I opened it again, I forced the moisture back into my eyes, sat on the ground and looked up at the drooping eyes, and I asked softly, "Can you tell me why?" β
Silent silence, I pulled the corner of my mouth and showed a sarcastic smile, my eyes were fixed on that handsome face without blinking, without a trace of fluctuation, but I said slowly: "When I say this word, your facial expression may not change a little, but your subcutaneous nerves are involuntarily tensed." Your hand seems to hang down naturally, but your index finger bends slightly inward in an imperceptible arc. I don't seem to have told you that my eyes can see many things that others can't, or," I paused, word for word, "I should call you ...... Feather. β
Yu, the name that makes me feel terrified when I mention or think about it, I never thought I would one day associate it with him.
The atmosphere in the quiet space has finally changed, and this change comes from the person himself, since I haven't changed, it is he who has changed. I pointed to the chair next to me and said, "You're standing too tall and tired of talking, sit down." β
After a moment's pause, the person in front of him finally lowered down, but instead of sitting in the chair, he sat on the spot like me. Clear eyes looked at me quietly, without the gentleness of the past, without the usual softness, there was no trace of waves in it.
I leaned back on the table leg and looked at him level and said, "You must be wondering where you missed a flaw and I saw it, but you really disguised yourself very well, I suspect that no one has ever doubted you." You pulled me out of that whirlpool to save my life, and I am grateful to you, but you shouldn't have found someone to wash my memory. β
βAbbleοΌβ He Zhixu finally spoke slowly.
I smiled and shook my head: "It's not that Abble betrayed you, it's that although his psychological offensive ability is very exquisite, he can't confuse me." If it weren't for the hypnotic he used on me, maybe I would never have known I could still ...... Anti-hypnosis. β
Raising his head to stare into his eyes, "Do you know what your biggest flaw is?" Your biggest flaw is that I can't hypnotize you. A long time ago, someone told me that there is a whirlpool in everyone's heart, and that is called the inner demon, and only people with a strong psychology can restrain the inner demon, and there is no way to do it. β
"That just shows that I'm psychologically strong." He Zhixu said lightly.
"No, not psychologically strong. It's you who can shift your mind, and when I say the first thing, your body is making all kinds of adjustments, trying to be as calm and soothing as possible, like a lost mind, but I just told you, I have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts, and any slight change in you is in my eyes. How I wish you had really sunk into the maelstrom so that you could answer my questions and be friends when I woke you up. β
He Zhixu finally looked at me: "You mean, I won't be a friend anymore?" β
"What is a friend? You are approaching me to take advantage of me, because you want me to find the secret of the underground siege for you, and solve the mystery of the Hanging Cave. Can a man full of lies and betrayals still be friends? "The corners of my eyes were aching and my chest aching.
He Zhixu's eyes gradually became emotional, but I couldn't see or read clearly, he said: "I was mentally prepared for this when I played Abble's move, and when Abble called me to pick you up, I knew that something would come after all, and I couldn't hide from it." I've been waiting for this day, wondering what will keep you, and when will you tear off the veil. In any case, thank you for accompanying me through this peaceful day. β
"Don't call me a wish!" I glared at him, he meant that he actually knew that I had already seen through it, so he was acting with me all day? "Heh, too, with the depth of your scheming city, how can I get a big axe in front of Luban's gate." I laughed to myself, it turned out that both of them were waiting for this moment.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Is it because he called you that?" β
My heart sank and I stared at him silently.
"Okay, then let's call you Xiaoqian, Alice is an English name after all, we Chinese prefer to be more traditional."
Small shallow, beam shallow.
He finally got to the point, Yu, my pen pal from more than ten years ago.
"Why me?" I asked.
He chuckled and looked at me with relief: "You must have forgotten the contents of your six letters to me, but I do." When I got the shards, I couldn't make the pattern no matter how I put it together. Coincidentally, passing by your city, I saw you sitting alone by the river and scribbling something on a tree branch, but when I got closer to look at it, suddenly a fragmentary picture appeared in my mind. Later, I found a way to get in touch with you, to become your pen pal, to hide the engraving of the fragments on the letterhead, and the first letter you sent back to me was to ask: Why does there seem to be a pattern on the letterhead? That's when I knew you could help me find out. I'm not anxious, and I don't want you to memorize the patterns, I just need you to combine the known pieces with me, so I don't have a lot of correspondence with you, there are only six before and after, and when you reply to the sixth one, you have a picture attached. β
I was fascinated by it, but he stopped, vaguely having the answer in his mind, but still couldn't help asking, "What kind of painting?" β
