"Ruri, where have you been? I'm with my friend, so I'm going to find you! Thinking of Chu Liuli's first time facing the sandstorm in the Great Northwest Gobi, Pan Rongxuan was very worried.

"The navigation shows that there are still more than ten kilometers, you don't need it, the wind and sand are much smaller, maybe soon I will be able to see the road ahead." Chu Liuli stopped.

"Liuli, you pay attention to keep the distance between the cars, don't drive fast. Call me immediately if there is anything, we will be waiting for you at the intersection! You tell me the license plate number! Hearing what she said, Pan Rongxuan was much less worried and didn't insist on going to her.

Chu Liuli agreed, told him the license plate number, and said that he would be careful to reassure him.

Wu Yongzhao listened to them from the sidelines and had already guessed eight or nine points. Just thinking that his apprentice already had a boyfriend, he didn't say anything.

Hanging up the phone, Chu Liuli continued to concentrate on driving, the outline of the vehicle in front of him became clearer and clearer, and the sand and dust were obviously getting smaller and smaller. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her somewhat tight legs relaxed.

Along the way, the sand and dust gradually dispersed, Chu Liuli increased her speed slightly, and she was getting closer and closer to the intersection, and she had more expectations, because Pan Rongxuan was waiting for her.

In the off-road vehicle at the intersection, Pan Rongxuan sat in the co-pilot's seat, his eyes looking intently ahead. According to the time calculation, he expected that Chu Liuli should be arriving soon, but he didn't dare to call her again for fear of affecting her driving.

"Rong Xuan, do you like her?" Qiao Yu, his friend from the C County Hospital, who was sitting next to Pan Rongxuan, asked.

Pan Rongxuan smiled bitterly and didn't answer his question, but from his performance, Qiao Yu had already gotten the answer.

After being silent for a long time, Qiao Yu looked at the front of the car and said with a gloomy expression: "When I was in college, I also had a girl I liked. She was very beautiful and had good academic performance, and later she went to Beijing Medical University. And I, just silently like her, and never had the courage to confess. Last year's class reunion, she brought her husband with her. ”

Qiao Yu paused, turned his head to look at Pan Rongxuan, and persuaded: "Rongxuan, if you like her, you must let her know, even if she will refuse." ”

Pan Rongxuan didn't look at him, and said with a little helplessness: "She already has a boyfriend, I can't destroy them and be a third party, right?" ”

Qiao Yu was speechless by his rhetorical question, he didn't expect this to be the case. Afraid that Pan Rongxuan would be upset, Qiao Yu quickly changed the topic.

Dozens of minutes later, the black off-road vehicle driven by Chu Liuli finally appeared in their field of vision.

"Ruri is back, and she drove the car!" Pan Rongxuan couldn't see the people in the cab clearly, but he saw the license plate number.

"Ruri!" Pan Rongxuan pushed the door out and waved in the direction of Chu Liuli.

Chu Liuli finally came back safely. The car stopped on the side of the road, and Pan Rongxuan and Qiao Yu stepped forward together.

"Ruri, you're scaring us!" Pan Rongxuan's "we" caused Qiao Yu to have a big white eye.

Qiao Yu thought to himself, are you frightened? I don't know Chu Liuli, how could I worry about her.

Chu Liuli looked at the two of them, pointed to the car behind him and smiled: "I'm fine!" But I'm afraid this car needs to be washed well! ”

They followed their gaze, and the black car was now dyed yellowish by the wind and sand.

"Chu Liuli, you don't know how worried our Doctor Pan is about you, if he has wings, he can fly over to find you!" Qiao Yu couldn't hold back after all, and still wanted to say a few words for his friend.

"I'm friends with Ruri, and of course I'm worried about him. It's not as exaggerated as you say. Pan Rongxuan said embarrassedly.

After speaking, Pan Rongxuan hurriedly diverted the topic and introduced Qiao Yu to Chu Liuli. Chu Liuli also introduced Wu Yongzhao to them.

Knowing that Wu Yongzhao was an expert in repairing the Forbidden City, Qiao Yu admired it very much and said many words of praise. A few people had a great chat.

Because the car was rented, Chu Liuli asked Pan Rongxuan and Qiao Yu to send the master back to the hotel, and she went to return the car herself. Pan Rongxuan thought that she was tired all the way, and he didn't worry about her alone, so he handed over the task of sending Wu Yongzhao back to the hotel to Qiao Yu. Chu Liuli did not refuse.

Pan Rongxuan took the initiative to be the driver, and Chu Liuli sat in the co-pilot's position, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep on the back of the seat. Pan Rongxuan covered her with his own clothes and slowed down the car to make her sleep more comfortably.

The next day, Wu Yongzhao and Chu Liuli, who had completed the task, were ready to return to Beijing, and Pan Rongxuan still had something to do to stay in the hospital in County C and return to Beijing in a few days. Before Chu Liuli and Wu Yongzhao left, he went to the airport to see them off.

Seeing Chu Liuli walk to the security checkpoint and wave to him, Pan Rongxuan's chest felt like it was being torn. He couldn't bear her, and she didn't belong to him, and he didn't have the right to let her stay.

"Dr. Pan is such a nice boy, no wonder your dad always praises him. However, Xiao Zhang is not bad, he has a boyfriend, and he has good friends to protect you, and Master is very relieved. After the security check, Wu Yongzhao said.

Chu Liuli laughed and retorted, "Master, you underestimate me too much, do I need someone to protect me?" Who protects whom is not certain! ”

Wu Yongzhao glared at her and said, "You girl, you know how to do it." Listen to your dad, you still have to practice taekwondo? ”

"Master, I want to go, but I really don't have time. Wait for the weekend, I'll sign up for a taekwondo class. When the time comes, no one will dare to bully me, and maybe I will be able to protect Master! Chu Liuli clenched his fists and said.

Wu Yongzhao was amused by her and didn't say anything more.

After returning to the capital, the master and apprentice began to get busy again. On the scaffolding of the main hall, Wu Yongzhao showed the extension to Chu Liuli and several other apprentices. Spread the rice paper on the large wooden components, spray the paper with moisture, and then pat the surface with a brush, the bottom pattern is faintly revealed, and then pat with an ink bag to make the pattern printed on the rice paper...... The action is done in one go, like flowing water.

Chu Liuli looked at it very seriously. When she was a child, she and her father learned the basics of color painting, entered the repair skills center, and worshipped Wu Yongzhao as a teacher. It can be said that she is very proficient in the whole process of starting and tying scores, but this repair project is a real battle, and she can't help but be a little apprehensive.

After the display was completed, Wu Yongzhao said to several apprentices earnestly: "We want to become a miscellaneous family to repair ancient building color paintings, and we need to go through more than 20 processes such as field investigation, consulting historical data, designing restoration plans, looking for ores, grinding pigments, and coloring layer by layer. No matter which process, we can't be sloppy. ”

"Yes, Master!" Chu Liuli and the others agreed in unison.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you next, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Wu Yongzhao was pleased.

In this project, he not only had to complete the repair part he was responsible for with quality and quantity, but also let several of his apprentices be improved through actual combat. After all, he is in his 50s and will retire in a few years. The future belongs to these young people. The repair of the Forbidden City depends on them, and the inheritance of the construction skills of official-style ancient buildings also depends on them.

Chu Liuli and her brothers and sisters were busy all morning, and when it was close to noon, she received a call from Zhang Yifeng. He told her that she had returned from a business trip and that they could have dinner together in the evening.

The voices around him were noisy and faint, and she seemed to hear a girl calling him.
