Volume 1 The First Arrival Chapter 12 Between the Palms
In the afternoon, Lu Li got up and went to Ling Qingyue's art shop diagonally across the street.
"Qingyue Art Goods" Lu Li stood in front of the store and looked at the name of this signboard, but it was as straightforward as his senior brother's "Xie An Hardware Store".
Walking into the store, I saw that the overall area was as big as my brother's store, but it was different from the crowded containers in my brother's hardware store, and Ling Qingyue's art goods store could be described as "empty".
Almost one item is placed on a display, and it is displayed separately with various lights just like an art gallery displaying artwork.
The vertical containers have become flat and single-tone display tables with rows of spotlights, and some valuable goods are isolated with glass covers.
Lu Li wandered through a few display cabinets near the door, and found that the things were not as ungrounded as he thought, Lu Li thought at first that the things Ling Qingyue bought were all ornamental ornaments such as porcelain statues.
In the end, it was found that there were pillows, half-sleeved shirts, handbags, leather bags, cups, musical instruments and even potted plants on the display cases and shelves. All kinds of living furniture can be used in the store, which makes Lu Li dazzled for a while.
This doesn't seem to match the artwork in his impression, but Lu Li took a closer look and found that although each different kind of goods is a common item, its design style is indeed different.
Some are crystal clear, some are coarse, some are colorful, and some are black and white. It's really "artistic", although Lu Li doesn't know much about it.
Walking around, Lu Li was attracted by an inconspicuous cuboid placed on the floor of the aisle.
This cuboid is less than two meters long and half a meter wide. At first glance, this rectangular shape seems to be composed of tens of thousands of hollow tubes the thickness of straws arranged vertically.
It looks like something like glass. There are no fences or glass covers next to the cuboid, indicating that the cuboid is not a precious ornamental piece.
Lu Li couldn't help but smile, now if you stick a rectangle with a glass tube, you can call it a work of art?
This kind of artistic style is more or less known, and it is known as minimalism, to put it bluntly, the simpler the more artistic.
When Lu Li saw this cuboid, he wanted to take a canvas and draw a square with a ruler to sell as a work of art.
Reaching out and touching the cuboid placed on the ground, the originally translucent glass tubes suddenly changed and began to fluctuate up and down, emitting dazzling colors.
Lu Li was so frightened that he took two steps back.
I thought I had broken something, but when I looked closely, I saw that the originally regular cuboid had already turned into an irregular shape that was moving.
The surface of the cuboid slowly and flexibly turns into jigsaws, with various intersecting, eccentric, inverted, and rotational movements.
Well, what was originally a minimalist static cuboid turned itself into a structuralist mechanical morpher.
How did this cuboid become what it is now, Lu Li fixed his eyes and saw that the glass tube just now was double-layered, and the tube was shortened and elongated through the overlap and separation of the two layers.
The bottom end of the tube can also be rocked at a small angle. It is the up-and-down expansion and swaying of countless pipes that makes the cuboid a flexible and irregular object.
The problem is that this cuboid doesn't seem to have any practical value other than being ornamental. Lu Li pinched his chin and looked at it.
"Lu Li, you're here. Is there anything you like in the store? Lu Li heard someone behind him tell him to turn his head and see that it was a strange man.
Wearing a half-pack of metal glasses that reflect blue light, a neat and smart back, and a dark blue striped suit.
Although this person was the first time he had seen him, Lu Li always felt that this person had a feeling of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person.
The man looked at Lu Li with a smile and put his hand on Lu Li's back.
I don't know why, this man seems to know himself, and he looks like the owner of this shop in his demeanor and tone.
Lu Li's mood was inexplicably a little unstable, and he wanted to ask this man what the relationship was with Ling Qingyue, like the owner entertaining guests.
"How do you know me?" Lu Li asked as he pretended to be surprised.
"I've heard of Lu Li's name for a long time, I didn't expect to see a real person here today, it's really Tang's luck.
"Lu Shaoxia, don't get me wrong, Tang also lives nearby, and Qingyue Art Commodity Store is a well-known store in the neighborhood. I came to visit today, but I didn't expect to meet Lu Shaoxia here. ”
The man in the suit, who claimed to be Tang, introduced himself when he saw Lu Li questioning him.
Lu Shaoxia? What a strange title. Lu Li looked around and made sure that he was not filming a costume reality show.
After taking a closer look at the man in the suit, he looked at Lu Li with a smile on his face, his eyes never left his body, and it was obvious that this person was unusually interested in him.
And judging from the methodical way of talking to himself, it is obvious that he came prepared.
Lu Li couldn't help but get goosebumps: "The title of Lu Shaoxia has won the award, I'm just an ordinary person who comes in and looks at the goods casually." With that, he prepared to stay away from the man.
"Lu Shaoxia, aren't you interested in this 'cuboid'? Don't you want to know what this thing is for? Tang saw that Lu Li was about to leave, but he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile.
Tang behind him said something that made it difficult for Lu Li to refuse, and Lu Li's steps were retracted. Turning his head to face Tang, he said, "Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"Lu Shaoxia, you can understand what this thing is when you sit up."
Lu Li hesitated a little after hearing this, looking at the wanton swinging object in front of him, the ups and downs were like a meat grinder, for fear that he would sit on it and his butt would be ground into meat filling.
"It won't be dangerous, will it?"
"Lu Shaoxia don't have to worry, don't forget that this is an art store, not a weapons store."
When Tang said this, Lu Li remembered that this was Ling Qingyue's shop. So as soon as his ass tightened, he bit his teeth and sat down.
Lu Li was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he had given his ass to a strange thing.
Lu Li closed his eyes nervously, but the imaginary pain did not hit, but his ass lost its feeling as if it had been injected with anesthetic.
"Lu Shaoxia relaxed and lay back, so that he could experience the comfort of this machine even more."
Lu Li obeyed Tang's command, went back, and found that his whole body seemed to be in the sky.
The originally restrained expression became natural and enjoyable, and at this moment, he seemed to be lying on the clouds, completely unable to feel the effect of gravity on his body.
"It's a full-pressure bed, where every point fits perfectly into your body, allowing your body to blend in with the bed, and it's not just a few bones and muscles that bear the pressure of the whole body, and the pressure at each point is basically equal."
Tang looked at Lu Li, who was completely stretched and enjoyed, as if he was also happy.
Lu Li turned his head to look under him, and the "straws" that had been dancing arbitrarily completely fit his back.
Twist your waist and shrug your shoulders to lift your buttocks, and the tube will also change its length on the fly for a fit.
"It's really comfortable. Science and technology, science and technology change life! Lu Li twisted his body, and he didn't want to come down when he was comfortable.
"There's no hurry, anyway, the main purpose of the people who come to this store is not to see the goods." Tang motioned to Lu Li, if he wanted to lie down, lie down for a while.
Hearing Tang's words, Lu Li suddenly remembered his purpose, and a carp was about to stand up.
But the problem arises.
Lu Li found that he was stuck in the bed, and he couldn't get up!
"I can't get up, is this bed glued?" Lu Li found out that he had fallen into the trap.
Tang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lu Li's embarrassment. "Lu Shaoxia, don't worry, this is because this bed is fully automatic to adapt to your movements, and all the pressure generated by your actions to get up is absorbed by the bed, and there is no reaction force, so of course you can't get up."
"Then you have to figure it out." Lu Li said awkwardly lying on the bed.
"Turn off full pressure mode." Tang said to the bed.
After hearing the command, the full-pressure bed immediately and slowly returned to the state of a flat plate.
Lu Li hurriedly stood up with a carp, and hurriedly looked at the shelf to see if anyone else saw his predicament.
After making sure that there was no one else nearby, Lu Li turned his head to look at the person who called himself Tang and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Lu Li's subtext is that you are really a smiling tiger, and you played me with laughter.
Tang Mou's expression returned to a serious state when he was questioned by Lu Li: "Lu Shaoxia, don't be angry, I also forgot about it."
"Doesn't this help you get up, don't you want to see the shopkeeper, Miss Ling? Inside, please. He immediately made a move to prepare and guide Lu Li to find Miss Ling.
Lu Li heard that Tang had mastered his own mind, and he had already guided himself with the attitude of a host, and his heart was even more uncomfortable: "How do you know that I didn't come to this store to see the goods, but to see the owner?" ”
Tang Mou laughed when he heard Lu Li's quibble: "Haha, Lu Shaoxia, don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to you alone, you are the same as everyone here." I mean, people who come to this store don't come to see the products. ”
"But since I've been in this store, I haven't seen anyone but you." Lu Li said with some confusion.
"Lu Shaoxia, don't worry, you can see the others when you go upstairs and see Ling Qingyue."
After hearing this, Lu Li became even more puzzled, and hurriedly prepared to go upstairs to see what Tang said.
At the top of the stairs upstairs, there stood a shopping guide robot with a smiling face on its head and said, "Welcome to our store, the products on the second floor are more exciting." ”
Lu Li, who went upstairs, looked at this robot that he had never seen before, and he didn't have time to find out, so he still couldn't go upstairs.
Lu Li, who was waiting upstairs, found that the layout of the second floor and the first floor of this store was almost the same, and there was no difference in the goods on display.
But there were so many people on the second floor that it was as if I had come to another store.
"The one sitting at the cash register inside is the shopkeeper Miss Ling." Tang pointed to the cash register inside.
Lu Li looked at the place where Tang pointed out, and saw Ling Qingyue sitting behind the cash register at a glance.
Or without Tang's guidance, Lu Li could instantly identify Ling Qingyue at a glance among so many people on the second floor.
This is not Lu Li's eyes, but more than thirty people on the second floor, except for Ling Qingyue, almost all of them are men.
And most of these men gathered around Ling Qingyue, standing facing Ling Qingyue, and they all found a gap to talk to Ling Qingyue.
And those customers standing in the distance, although they pretended to be admiring the products in the store, or talking together, in fact, they all peeked in the direction of the cash register from time to time, and a group of people were actually centered around Ling Qingyue.
Lu Li was shocked by the funny scene on the second floor of the store.
