Li Shi held the mobile phone in both hands and calmed down.

I took a deep breath and spit it out slowly, and then clicked on the input method: "Thank you." ”

After sending it, I thought about it and added: "Are you okay?" ”

As a friend, this sentence can be regarded as caring.

He Yaru replied quickly: "I'm not good, alas, it's so uncomfortable." ”

Li Shi: ?

Uncomfortable?

Didn't Wu Yuan say that she was uncomfortable on the surface, but in fact, she was relaxed and happy inside?

Why are they inconsistent......

Li Shi was quick to think, and naturally realized that someone must be lying, needless to say, he absolutely trusted Ms. Wu, and it must be Sister He who lied.

But why did Sister He lie to herself?

With a finger swiped the screen, WeChat returned to the chat list, looked down, clicked on Wu Yuan's dialog box, and typed: "Did you talk to Sister He about chatting with me tonight?" ”

When the message was sent, Wu Yuan didn't reply for a long time, and he thought he was asleep.

What Li Shi didn't know was that when Wu Yuan received his message, he was with He Yaru.

The two of them played with their mobile phones, and when she saw Li Shi's WeChat, she suddenly realized something, rolled her eyes, and turned directly to the lady next to her, a dignified lady, a strong woman in a shopping mall, entangled like Teng Man, frolicked for a while, and muttered something for a long time.

"Tell me honestly, have you been thinking about my man for a long time?"

As he spoke, he pinched it with one hand in a rich place, not too strong or small, as if he was expressing dissatisfaction and enjoying something. ”

……

"You just say you dare to bet, right?" The good-looking chin of the strong woman in the shopping mall was slightly raised, towards the surviving noblewoman, the appearance of the unstoppable.

"This ...... What would I not dare. The noblewoman seemed to be overwhelmed.

"Then three months!"

"Three months is too short, and you know that he sometimes doesn't pay much attention to me, half a year...... Is it okay for a year? ”

Wu Yuan thought about Li Shi's character and the will that was as tough as titanium alloy, and relieved: "Then it's only half a year, but I have to add another bet." ”

"What?"

"If you lose, in the future we will be in private, you have to call me...... Sister, hehe. ”

……

Li Shi didn't receive a reply from Wu Yuan, so he didn't reply to He Yaru's WeChat, and continued to search for nearby food information.

There is a "food desert" on the Internet in Beijing, which is just that some people think that there are not many locally born foods in Beijing, in fact, as the capital, a metropolis with a population of more than 20 million, there are a lot of delicious restaurants.

Here, you can find food from all over the country and even from all over the world.

After searching the Internet, I found a restaurant that specializes in Xijiang cuisine, and the evaluation was good, but the price was slightly expensive, seven or eight hundred per capita.

"Seven or eight hundred per capita is okay, just set this one, the taste of Xijiang cuisine is close to Hunan cuisine, and Xu Wei is from Xijiang."

Li Shi added this shop to his favorites and prepared to take his friends to try it tomorrow.

At this moment, Wu Yuan finally replied: "I didn't tell her!" (Mr. Li, this is a lie)"

Li Shi blinked.

Staring at her words and pondering for 3:58 seconds, he drew a scoop with a gourd and replied by typing: "Oh." (Why?) ）”

Wu Yuan: "Mm-hmm. (I made a bet with her, and according to the agreement, I can't tell you the details of the bet agreement) (little pity) (kiss)"

Li Shi couldn't help but touch his chin.

Got a bet?

If you can't tell me the content of the bet as agreed, that is, the bet is related to me?

Li Shi is not a fool, he immediately thought of Ms. Wu's usual style, and suddenly had a guess, shook his head and smiled.

"Forget it, leave her alone, let her be a demon, she won't harm me anyway."

Now he wants to focus most of his energy on attacking the calligraphy master, and the rest is too lazy to bother.

Thinking so, he typed: "Okay, then I don't ask, I'll assume I don't know." ”

After chatting with Wu Yuan, thinking that he hadn't replied to He Yaru before, he clicked on her WeChat again, pretended not to know anything, and politely replied with six words, "Take care, and mourn by the way."

I didn't want to just send it, and the other party directly replied to a video call to apply for it.

Li Shi glanced at the time, it was already twelve twenty-three.

It's the middle of the night......

Click Accept.

The screen turned into a video call interface, it seemed that the mobile phone was not that right, and what caught my eye was first a silk nightdress, then a large area of astonishing snow white, and then the camera shook, and finally He Yaru's dignified and beautiful face appeared.

"Mr. Li, congratulations on the publication of the paper!"

As soon as she spoke, she first congratulated, her voice was gentle, and she had a smile on her face, and she didn't look uncomfortable at all.

Li Shi: ......

Don't you even pretend to be one?

"Thank you, I should thank you and Mr. Wu, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know Mr. Wu, if it wasn't for Mr. Wu, my two papers wouldn't have been published so smoothly, or they were published at the same time, thank you." Li Shi thanked him sincerely.

"Where, I didn't do anything, mainly my aunt...... But it's also Mr. Li, your thesis is of high quality, and now my aunt is your real fan, not only does she recommend your paper to her old friends everywhere, but also doesn't the video you shot have the image of "Sijun"? She also asked me to help pick it out, edit it into a separate video, and send it to others everywhere, saying that you are a calligraphy master who is difficult to learn in 500 years! ”

When she spoke, her tone seemed to be different from the previous calm and steady, and she was a little more lively.

Li Shi noticed it, but he didn't care, he paid attention to Mr. Wu's praise of himself as "a calligraphy master who is difficult to come out of five hundred years".

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

But when I think about it, for thousands of years, the history of calligraphy has been brilliant, and there are too many powerful characters.

Although his current calligraphy level has reached the (professional) level, and even touched the threshold of (professional +), after all, it has not yet reached (professional +), and it is still one line away from Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu and other ceiling calligraphers of various eras.

At present, "it is difficult to get out in a hundred years" is worthy of it, but "it is difficult to come out in 500 years" cannot be accepted for the time being.

Maybe it will take another six months and a year before we can accept such praise with peace of mind.

Not yet.

He hurriedly said seriously: "Teacher Wu has an overreputation, I don't deserve such a high evaluation for the time being, I still need to work hard." ”

He Yaru's video call today was originally "for another purpose", but he would listen to him seriously, it seemed to be heartfelt, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Teacher Li, do you really think so?" ”

She remembered the time when Li Shi lived with her aunt, and the level of calligraphy she showed not only shocked her to this day, but even made her aunt, who was originally a calligrapher, become his fan!

That's it, and it actually says "you have to work hard"?

The key is that he said it very sincerely, and when he heard it, he said it from the bottom of his heart, not pretending.

Li Shi said calmly: "Of course, my calligraphy foundation has been tempered very deeply, but my personal style has not yet fully matured, and the height of my works is not enough, and I am still a little short of the level of Wang Xizhi and Zhang Xu, so I am trying to find inspiration to create, and I need to improve my style through creation, and at the same time impact the new height of my works, and strive to write such masterpieces as "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Manuscript for Sacrifice of Nephews". ”

When He Yaru heard this, she was silent.

She suddenly felt a little ashamed, ashamed of herself for thinking like that about Li Shi, and felt that she really shouldn't use her brains to hinder Li Shi's creation......

Wang Xizhi, Zhang Xu, "Lanting Collection Preface", "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephews", etc., these historical figures and works in textbooks, if others compare themselves, she will definitely feel that this person is shameless and self-sufficient.

can be said from Li Shi's mouth, it is so ordinary, she feels very natural, not abrupt at all.

This made her suddenly realize what kind of historical height she could reach with Li Shi's calligraphy level and talent!

"No wonder my aunt admires him so much."

"This is the living Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing!"

He Yaru suddenly felt a little heavy, which was a kind of heavy historical heaviness.

"What if, what if...... His works and reputation will also be like Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing, and they will be passed down to a thousand years later, I ......"

"Ugh."

"If something happens to me, wouldn't it be...... What happened to the historical celebrities in the textbooks thousands of years later?! ”

He Yaru suddenly felt that the previous heavy moment was gone, and she was inexplicably a little excited.

Li Shi saw that the other side of the phone suddenly fell silent and didn't speak, and asked softly: "Sister He, are you sleepy, then don't talk about it for now, you pay attention to your body." ”

"Ah~, good, good."

The voice on the phone made He Yaru's delicate body tremble, as if she had been stimulated by something strange, and hurriedly replied.

But the voice was trembling.

It's like that.

Li Shi listened carefully, as if he didn't hear the sound of the motor vibrating, after hanging up the phone, he thought about Sister He for two seconds, and then clicked on the reading software on his phone, selected a Song Dynasty overhead, and read it.

After watching it for about twenty minutes, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and He Yaru sent another message.

"Did Mr. Li sleep? I also want to ask you something. ”

Li Shi temporarily quit the reading software and replied: "Not yet, you ask." ”

He Yaru: "You said that when your works accumulate to a certain extent, you will hold an exhibition, but what I want to ask is, when the exhibition is completed, will your other works flow into the collection market?" ”

Li Shi replied without hesitation: "Of course, except for a few pieces that I collect, other works should find opportunities to test the waters in the collection market, after all, I also hope to be famous, I hope to know more about my works, know my calligraphy, and copy and learn my calligraphy." ”

This is what he must do to move from (professional +) to (calligraphy grandmaster).

He Yaru immediately said: "Then I want to be the promoter and the biggest collector of your works!" ”

Li Shi was stunned, he didn't expect her to say this suddenly.

Before replying, the other party came again: "From the moment I saw "Beauty Bath", I was already the number one fan of your calligraphy!! ”

Li Shi was silent.

Modern artists, no matter what line of work, want to become famous, they are indispensable to capital promoters and fans.

He has long known that the artistic value and market value of his works are often not equal.

I used to think that when my works went to the big market to test the waters, if I couldn't meet a powerful collector who knew the goods, I would put on a vest and end up on the field.

"Using a vest to do these things by yourself is the next policy after all."

Li Shi pondered for a while, needless to say, Sister He's strength, whether it is capital or resources in all aspects, it is definitely "bigwig-level". Judging from her previous contacts, there is no doubt about her love for her beauty book, and she even became obsessed with "Beauty Bath".

and her relationship with Wu Yuan, which can also add a layer of trust.

It's a great candidate.

Li Shi got serious, his thinking was like electricity, he thought about all aspects, and in fact, it was only about twenty seconds later, and he typed: "Are you serious?" ”

He Yaru: "Extremely serious, aside from my love for your calligraphy, from the perspective of investment, it is also worth my doing, I believe that with my own vision and that of my aunt, you will definitely become a historical-level calligrapher in the future, and your name will go down in history!" ”

Li Shi smiled, and he naturally believed in this point.

After thinking about it again, he said, "It's too late today, when will we find a chance, let's talk in person again." ”

He Yaru: "Okay, I'll go to you as soon as possible!" ”

After a few seconds, he added: "It just so happens that there is also the bracelet matter, let's talk about it when the time comes." ”

Li Shi: "Okay." ”

……

After chatting with Sister He, Li Shi read the online article for another half an hour before falling asleep.

The next morning, he and Aya left the room early and went to the newly bought house in Zijinyuan.

Change the locks, open the network, and call the furniture dealer to deliver the ...... Of course, I didn't forget to call He Yaru's aunt Teacher Wu and personally thanked her.

In the afternoon, a group of cleaners were called to do a hygiene, and at this time, although some furniture was not in place, the house also completely changed, from the previous European style, to a simple literary style.

Li Shiyi also rushed over from her school, looked at the newly renovated house, and sighed to Li Shi: "This is so good, it has completely changed, I can't even remember what it was like before, how did you do it?" ”

Li Shi smiled: "Proper aesthetics and not bad money......"

More than 500,000 yuan was spent on the procurement of replacement soft decoration, labor expedited fees, sanitation costs, etc.

Of course, it's mainly the furniture that costs.

In particular, the sofa and a few beds and mattresses are the big heads.

While there was still some time, the three of them went to a nearby supermarket to buy some bedding and daily necessities.

After a round in the supermarket, the two carts were quickly piled up.

When paying, looking at the things piled up into a hill, Li Shiyi suddenly said: "Alas, I made a mistake, I should wait for Sister Wei to drive here before buying, there are so many things, the three of us are not easy to mention." ”

Li Shi smiled and said, "I can mention it, I have a lot of strength." ”

In the end, Aya and Li Shiyi carried large but lightweight toilet paper and bedding, and the remaining four bags were packed in the largest shopping bag, and Li Shi carried two in one hand.

Take a taxi back to the entrance of the community.

Because the community is separated from people and vehicles, after getting off the bus, there is still a distance from the elevator entrance of the five buildings, and there is still a distance to walk.

After walking a few dozen meters, he deliberately stopped halfway to rest.

"Why don't you put it here first, and get it in two trips." Li Shiyi didn't know anything about his strength, and when she saw him resting, she hurriedly suggested.

"No, you don't."

Li Shi smiled, picked it up and continued walking, but he was thinking in his heart that it was still necessary to have a car here. (End of chapter)
