Of course, Dong Chen finally bought some books and gave money.

It's just that the books in my hand when I came back are no longer professional books, but have been replaced by novels, legendary records, poetry collections, and villain books.

When I passed by a newspaper by the way, I also ordered a newspaper, which would be sent to the Advanced Mechanical College every afternoon, and Dong Chen only needed to go to the doorman to get it.

Holding his book and taking something for Xia, the two of them went out of the cultural street.

It was already past twelve o'clock at noon after coming out, and Dong Chen didn't plan to go back to cook, so the two of them found a similar restaurant to eat.

While waiting for dinner, seeing Dong Chen reading an adventure novel with relish, Xia asked curiously, "Dong Chen, aren't you here to buy professional books?" Why did they all return in the end and replace them with entertainment books? ”

"Didn't you say it all there?" Dong Chen didn't raise his head and said, "Those books are all flawed, of course they have to be returned." ”

"What, weren't you there for me?" Xia said with a puff of breath, "What" paper is too soft and not suitable for preservation" can also be a reason? I think you just don't want to study hard. ”

"Hey, you girl," Dong Chen directly slapped the novel on her head, "Why don't I want to study hard, you go to the library to inquire, I read there every day, and I am famous for my love of learning!" ”

"Hmph, you hit me in the head."

Xia angrily took away the book that Dong Chen slapped on his head, "Didn't you inquire about me?" Why do students tell me that you are like a pervert, and they don't say that you love to read. ”

"The students' cognition is limited, they don't understand, I am a manifestation of my love of learning," Dong Chen smiled and looked at Xia Ya's bulging face, "You are still young, you will understand when you grow up." ”

"Why are you talking to me in the tone of my father, when you are the same age as me," Xia Ya looked at Dong Chen's expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he was angry.

"He always said that I was still young, that I didn't understand something, that I was 25 years old, and that I was an adult six years ago."

"You've already told me this," Dong Chen said with a smile, "so you ran out." ”

"Now I understand that it's not easy to survive, but I'm embarrassed to go back in this situation, isn't it embarrassing?"

"You...... It's a bad attitude, I don't want to talk to you anymore, huh. ”

Xia Ya, who was so angry that she couldn't speak, immediately ignored Dong Chen, turned her head and asked the waiter who passed by, "When will we serve food here, we have been waiting for a long time." ”

"Guest, wait a minute, I'll rush you." The waiter said politely.

"Hurry up, we'll have something to do later."

"Okay, okay, right away."

At Xia's urging, their food was delivered immediately.

The meals are all ordered by Chia, which is close to the cultural street, and the name of the dish is also very cultural.

But these culturally rich names are very unfriendly to Dong Chen, because he doesn't know what the dish is when he looks at the name, so he simply leaves the decision to Xia Ya.

Anyway, the money is also paid by Xia Ya, and one piece is included in the cost of purchasing painting materials.

Two dishes, two staple foods, and one soup are enough for two people.

Dong Chen looked at the color, smelled the fragrance, and felt okay, although the taste was a little light in his mouth, it was okay.

He felt okay, and that was because he didn't really care much about what filled his stomach, and he could eat delicious food, coarse tea and light rice, and eat like dry food for survival.

Whatever the conditions, you can eat what you eat.

But Xia Ya on the other side frowned after taking a bite, and whispered to Dong Chen, "Dong Chen, I feel that the food in this restaurant is not as delicious as what you cook, and it is still expensive." ”

"I only had 3 yuan for a meal at your place, and this meal cost me 15 yuan! It's a loss! ”

Didn't you stop talking to me?

Fortunately, Dong Chen just thought about it in his heart, and what he said in his mouth was, "It's good to know that I haven't cheated you, eat quickly, we will go back to school after eating, it's time to paint for you, otherwise you may not be able to finish painting at night." ”

"You just chose too much ink."

“……”

"Hmph, you've been choosing books for a long time," Xia retorted viciously, "I went through all the books, and in the end I didn't buy them, and I was more inkblotted than me." ”

Because she felt that the food was not delicious, Xia was full after eating a little, so Dong Chen wrapped everything up.

Back at school, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Just to buy a book, it took more than five hours to toss, which made Dong Chen sigh again about the traffic situation here.

Although there was a delay for a while because he took Xia shopping, and his "checking" book was also delayed for a while, it still explained the problem because it took time to wait for the empty car, the speed limit on the road, the beast car was too wide, so the road was careful, and the two cars had to slow down when they were staggered.

It's okay on the main road, there is also the concept of separation of people and vehicles, and the animal lane and the sidewalk are well divided, but once you get to some small roads, when the animal car and the pedestrian are mixed together, the animal car can go slower than the pedestrian.

This makes him very nostalgic for cars, motorcycles, electric cars, and even bicycles from the Earth era.

Especially bicycles, motorcycles and electric vehicles are not to be thought about in a short period of time, but bicycles, it is simply as if you want to have them.

Having your own bicycle can hit the road whenever you want, and the compact body can be used anywhere, which is simply perfect for the current situation.

Dong Chen decided that when he got the quota of "reserve", he must invent the bicycle.

The work of painting the portrait of Xia was quickly completed in Xia Ya's dormitory, and it was also the first time Dong Chen went to the place where Xia lived.

In her words, since she wants to paint a portrait, of course, it is to let friends see where she lives, which also represents a part of her life now.

Not to mention, the place where Xia lives is exquisitely furnished, and it looks like a ...... Quite a bit of money was spent.

According to her wishes, Dong Chen painted her a sketch portrait of her sitting next to the window table reading a book, which was just right to bring in some of the surrounding interior decorations, including some scenery outside the window.

looks like life is not bad, very exquisite, and there is a literary intellectual beauty.

After two hours of painting, Xia gave a very perfect evaluation, saying that she would send it back tomorrow for her friends to see, and she knew a very powerful artist.

Of course, he is not only an artist, but also a very good chef.

"Let's go, let's go to your house, it's time to make dinner!"

“……”

Dong Chen, who was speechless, could only take the lead and walked towards his dormitory.

However, thinking back to the scene of painting just now, Dong Chen felt that his mood at that time was very calm, as if he had returned to the time when he was just learning to paint.

Because of interest, so like.

You can draw more in the future to relax.

Because of this, he would sometimes borrow Thea's sketchboard to go to the library, and if he was tired of reading, he would take the sketchboard and draw a scene from the library.

Whether it's two or three students reading a book, or Harry, the caretaker who is reading a book at the counter, or even a simple table and a bookshelf, can all appear on his sketch paper.

Because of this, Dong Chen's image in the hearts of the students has changed again.

An artist.

And the artist is a bit quirky, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
