Chapter 23: What a coincidence

Chu Liuli smiled, Zhong Haiyang was quite careful. With the care of friends, Chu Liuli's sadness about Zhang Yifeng's departure from the capital was alleviated a lot.

But after work, the loneliness hit again. When Zhang Yifeng was in the capital, he came to pick her up almost every day after work and prepared supper for him.

But this night, the place where Zhang Yifeng waited for her every day was empty, and her heart sank, and loneliness and loss filled her instantly.

"Glazed tiles, wait for me!" Behind him, it was Zhong Haiyang's voice, which pulled Chu Liuli's thoughts back.

Chu Liuli turned around, Zhong Haiyang was trotting towards her, panting: "Liuliwa, didn't I say that I would wait for you to get off work together and invite you to dinner?" Can you give me a face? Don't just leave! ”

Seeing his flattering smile, Chu Liuli couldn't bear to refuse, and asked with a smile: "Say, where do you want to eat?" I'm in for a treat! ”

"Keep it a secret, and you'll know when you get there. Definitely a safe and legal place, I promise. But, okay, I'm in for a treat! Zhong Haiyang winked at her, as naughty as ever.

After speaking, he tugged on Chu Liuli's sleeve and pulled her to the side of the road to take a taxi.

Behind them, Chu Zhiwei's apprentice Zhou Wenfeng saw Chu Liuli leave and was about to send her home, not wanting to be preempted by Zhong Haiyang, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Out of a man's intuition, he felt that Zhong Haiyang's friendship with Chu Liuli was by no means the kind of friendship on the surface, but like him, he secretly liked Chu Liuli. It's just that Chu Liuli has a boyfriend, and they can only hide their feelings.

Seeing them get on the bus, Zhou Wenfeng walked in the direction of the subway.

In the taxi, Chu Liuli still wanted to know where Zhong Haiyang was taking her, and the more mysterious he was, the more curious she became.

However, although Zhong Haiyang pretended to be mysterious and refused to say it, she almost guessed when she heard him report the destination to the taxi driver.

Sure enough, as Chu Liuli expected, after the taxi stopped at Dongzhi Street, Zhong Haiyang took her through a section of pedestrian street that was impassable for vehicles. In front of you, there is a famous snack street in Beijing, and every night, it is the most lively place. There are all kinds of snacks from all over the world, and sometimes there are open-air performances.

"Zhong Haiyang, you foodie, you should have thought that you were going to be here!" Chu Liuli said with a smile.

"Glazed tiles, are you embarrassed to say that I'm a foodie? When I got here, I smiled, my eyes lit up, which of the two of us is more like a foodie? Zhong Haiyang teased her.

Hearing him say this, Chu Liuli was speechless, he was right, she really laughed as soon as she came here.

Well, now that you're here, forget your worries for a while and be a happy foodie!

In order to stay in shape, she hadn't indulged herself so much in a long time. She and Zhong Haiyang ate skewers, drank milk tea, and ate a large bucket of ice cream together. It wasn't until their stomachs could no longer hold anything that they left.

Zhong Haiyang called a taxi and delivered it to his doorstep.

Just as he was about to push the door and get out of the car, he stopped her: "Glazed tiles!" ”

"Huh?" Back.

"Glazed tiles, call me when you're in a bad mood in the future, and I'll accompany you to eat delicious food at any time. All your worries are guaranteed to disappear! Zhong Haiyang said very sincerely.

Chu Liuli was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I remember, thank you!" ”

Seeing her get out of the car and enter the gate of the community, Zhong Haiyang left. Even the driver's master could see his careful thoughts, and laughed at him: "Young man, do you like this girl?" ”

Zhong Haiyang smiled gloomily, what could he do if he liked her? She has a boyfriend, and she only thinks of him as a younger brother, and he's only a few months younger than her. He can only bury this love in the bottom of his heart.

After many surveys and discussions, in order to ensure the authenticity of the redone paintings, the expert group decided to use the method of "set up" to paint. Set-up is largely uncreated, similar to the meaning of copying. Most of the color paintings on the outer eaves of the Taihe Hall will be based on the rubbings of the color paintings on the wooden components in the corresponding position of the inner eaves.

After the plan was decided, they encountered a problem. The ore from which one of the pigments was made was out of stock, and it was necessary to find it in order to make the pigment. Wu Yongzhao and others contacted many parties and learned that a factory in County B in the northwest produced this ore. However, it remains to be verified that the ore produced by the factory meets the standards for making pigments. Wu Yongzhao immediately decided to go to the factory to see it in person. As an apprentice, Chu Liuli asked Ying to go with his master, and Wu Yongzhao did not object.

The master and apprentice set off early in the morning and arrived at County B from the capital, it was already more than 7 o'clock at night. They found a hotel in the area and prepared to get a taxi to the factory the next day. According to the map, the factory is more than 20 kilometers away from the urban area of County B, passing through a Gobi on the way.

In order to save money for the hospital, they lived in a small hotel, which was not hygienic and the room was very cool and damp. Wu Yongzhao felt that he had wronged his apprentice, but Chu Liuli didn't mind, she smiled and said that as long as there were no rats in the room, it would not be bad. The master and apprentice ate a bowl of noodles at the restaurant downstairs, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Back in the room, Chu Liuli got into the quilt, wrapped the quilt tightly and didn't want to move anymore, for fear of dissipating the heat that had been accumulated so hard.

On the way here, she felt that the scenery along the way was good, took a few photos, and posted a Weibo at this time, with a text: "The scenery of the great northwest is majestic and magnificent, which makes people feel heroic." ”

Not long after Weibo was posted, someone commented: "Coincidentally, I'm also in the northwest." The comment was made by a person nicknamed "Nanxuan" on Weibo. This reminded Chu Liuli of the sentence in Li Bai's "Nanxuan Song": "Nanxuan has a lone pine, and Ke Ye is self-sufficient." The poet Li Bai depicts a picture of pine trees standing tall and upright, pine trees with dense branches and leaves, and their heads held high in the sky. At the beginning of the poem, it is said that it is a "lone pine", highlighting its unusualness. Then he wrote that the pine trees are luxuriant, vibrant, and evergreen in all seasons, creating a lush, simple and noble image of the pine tree.

Chu Liuli thought that most of the people who could take this nickname were detached and free and easy. However, Chu Liuli has more than 20,000 fans, and she only thinks he is an ordinary fan, and she doesn't mind what he says, so she only replied with a smile.

Thinking that she hadn't called Zhang Yifeng yet, she quit Weibo and dialed Zhang Yifeng's number, but she couldn't get through after dialing several times, she thought that he was inconvenient to answer something, so she waited for him to call her back.

Running all the way made Chu Liuli more and more tired, but she didn't dare to sleep, for fear that she wouldn't hear Zhang Yifeng's call. She put her phone aside, sat up and picked up a book to read, forcing herself to cheer up.

It didn't take long for her mobile phone to ring, and Chu Liuli was overjoyed, thinking that Zhang Yifeng had called her back, but she didn't want Pan Rongxuan's phone to be displayed on the mobile phone screen. She wondered, what was the matter with him calling her so late?
