Section 25: Different trajectories of life
Ever since Lin Jun was in the wrong room in his first year of college, he often came to my dorm room to share a few drinks with me while I was sipping a beer and reading a book, and he had very few friends at school, and according to him, true friends were never a group of people, but one or two people! Every time Lin Jun enters the door, he habitually flips through the book in my hand to confirm my recent reading preferences. Then sit down with me and talk to me about the content of the book, who the author is, how the work was written, what genre does it belong to, romanticism? Critical realism? Or talk about his paintings, his favorite art masters, and the charm, talent, and talent released by the works of the masters, the use of light in oil paintings, the grasp of the psychology of the characters, how to understand the meaning of abstract and realistic expression, etc., etc., etc.! The reason why we talk about these things that we like every time is that these have become the medium of communication, through which our topics can enter a deeper level, exchange views and feelings about some things, and belong to the spiritual exchange of real friends. What amazes me is that this kind of heart-to-heart visit is always straight to the point, and it doesn't have to be carried out after the intervention of a certain topic. I have only half a half-hearted understanding of the oil painting he loves, and at most I have learned some superficial knowledge from the "History of Western Art" in the course I studied. Lin Jun, on the other hand, has a wide range of topics, even in the areas I am passionate about, which is why he has been expressing his opinions most of the time in our conversations. If we were to make our conversation a hundred-page article, I would only be twenty pages at most! Lin Jun is not very interested in things he is not interested in, every time he does it, he must be excellent, and his ability to accept strange things and comprehend them is indeed very comparable. And there is also a handsome but not cheesy face, unruly but not pretentious consistent style, with a talent that eclipses the people around him, and the consumption scale is also just right, I can't see the kind of rich children spending money like flowing water, but if you want to be generous, it is not difficult, it is completely up to his will. With so many advantages, it is inevitable that he will become the focus of attention of many girls in the school, and he seems to have a natural ability to attract the attention of girls, or more precisely, like magic, which I admire.
"Extraordinary!" I said.
He never commented on it, just laughed it off.
I once heard the girls at the next table talking about it when I was eating in the cafeteria:
"Lin Jun? What is Linjun? ”
"You don't even know about him, do you? It's the artist and handsome guy in the Department of Information Management! ”
"An artist in the Department of Information Management?"
"His academic performance is excellent, he always gets scholarships, and his oil paintings have won national awards!"
"Someone from the Department of Information Management won the national award for oil painting? So powerful! The expression seemed to say, "I really want to talk to him."
Then I vaguely heard that I met it in the library, and it was really stylish! He even talked about some anecdotes about Lin Jun, which even I, who was a good friend of his, did not know, and the tone sounded like it had really happened and witnessed it with my own eyes.
As a beautiful girl in the eyes of boys, what did Melly do in her days after entering school? Aside from the vague notion of "pretty" in my mind, the image in front of me was not as blurry as before, but it was incoherent. I carefully deduced the content of the picture with my usual thinking logic, so that I could make it clear. Maybe Melly, like all new students, is full of novelty about everything in the school, and then she walks around the square when she doesn't have classes, or sits in the empty stands of the stadium and watches the campus scenery in early autumn, and all kinds of people (of course, including me and Lin Jun) come and go, or watch the game on the football field in the middle of the track, or go shopping with her classmates after class, or worry about what style of clothes to wear when you go shopping. Or listen to the classmates around you talk about the new things that happen in the school and ask questions from time to time, or read a book quietly in the library, or listen quietly to your favorite music, or look at the promotional poster of the upcoming movie on the side of the school's bulletin board, or be infected by the plot of the love scene in the movie, worry about the fate of the protagonist, or like all girls, talk about the boys in the school together, and are more likely to listen to the classmates talk about Linjun! And so on and so forth! These images seem to me to be like the blue sky in the holy colourful frescoes on the dome of a church, which are visible but separated from each other and high up, where angels are likely to come and bring me to the paintings, telling me that "the sky here is as pure as religion!" ”
As my attention was focused on these assumptions, the picture became clear and realistic, the colors began to appear, and the timing was confirmed for the first time, which must have been achieved with the usual logic of thinking! It's all in front of you!
