Later, when he volunteered for the college entrance examination, He Ying chose the School of Architecture of Tianyang University.

It's not because of the recommendation of the teacher of the professional course, but because Tianyang University has opened a major in ancient architecture.

Architecture and Chinese painting sound like two unrelated majors, but she miraculously found a balance:

Colorful paintings of ancient buildings.

This is also the only way she can think of to inherit her grandfather's legacy.

In the days that followed, in addition to attending classes normally and following his mentor to do ancient construction projects, He Ying would also seek medical treatment for his eyes with his parents during the holidays, and his life was as colorful as ever.

It's just that there is one thing she lied about, and she never mentioned it to anyone.

Intermittent red-green blindness is not something that has been present since childhood.

Although a full decade has passed since the devastating earthquake, the images of houses collapsing, clay sculptures and paint splashing on scaffolding still linger in her mind as the earth shakes.

That was the first time she went out with her grandfather to Sichuan to restore the ancient building of Pingwu Bao'en Temple.

For a month, she watched her grandfather climb up and down every day, repairing and coloring the mighty colored sculptures, and plastering the powder.

Seeing that my grandfather will be able to play with me everywhere after he finishes it, he doesn't want an earthquake. He Ying, who was playing hide and seek with other friends, was carried out of the Tianwang Palace by the staff, but his grandfather was hit by the collapsed roof because he was saving people.

When the grandfather under the rubble was carried out by the rescue team, he was already dying.

He Ying, who is not yet eight years old, still has a vague concept of life and death.

The rest of the staff were wiping tears from their eyes.

But because she saw that her grandfather was covered in green paint, she lay down next to her and shouted:

"Grandpa! Grandpa, wake up! Your face is stained with paint! Get up and wipe it clean! ”

It wasn't until her grandfather never woke up that she knew in a daze that it wasn't green paint at all, but blood from her grandfather's wound.

......

"He Ying? He Ying, don't do this. ”

Lin Ru's voice pulled He Ying back to reality.

Seeing that her face was pale, and there was a cold sweat on her forehead, her tone softened:

"I know you really want to prove yourself, and you have the determination to inherit ancient Chinese architecture."

"But in addition to being sorry, what I also want to tell you is that if you want to carry forward ancient architecture, you must look at the whole world, and don't always be limited to the world of ancient Chinese architecture, otherwise your vision will only become more and more short-sighted."

More excessively, I did not continue.

Lin Ru pursed his thin lips and stood in the classroom door, his shoulders slumped and he almost didn't dare to look directly at He Ying.

There was a resoluteness and coldness in her eyes that she had never seen before, and the edge of her pupils burst out of the water, as if a bolt of lightning slashed straight into his heart, shattering his remaining pride.

Oh, yes.

plunged headlong into the ancient architecture major with only one student, and can persist to this day without hesitation.

He Ying himself has a tenacity and hard work that is different from ordinary people.

And the girl in front of Lin Ru couldn't believe it at this time, an aspiring young man who had talked to him about inheriting ancient Chinese architecture, would say such a thing today.

She was speechless about this.

"He Ying, you know, I have always admired your talent very much, although you are not from the Academy of Fine Arts, but you have a talent for color painting."

Seeing that He Ying's face returned to normal, Lin Ru pointed to the indignant people who returned to their seats, and said earnestly:

"What they said was really excessive, and I apologize to you on their behalf. But eyes are a big deal, I think you might as well give up this ancient building competition and let Jingyi's father send you to treatment. ”

Hearing these words in He Ying's ears, it seemed unreasonable.

If Chen Jingyi is really kind enough to help, why embarrass herself in public?

He Ying, who wanted to leave silently, didn't want to be silent anymore:

"Did the senior ask me to leave the group because of our different positions, or because of my color blindness?"

"Of course it's a different position!"

He Ying secretly rejoiced.

OK.

The reason why the comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side with him now stand on the opposite side is not because they discriminate against themselves, but because they simply have different positions.

"In that case, it is useless to say more. I think it's better for us to compete on the field. ”

She looked up at Lin Ru's eyes, and her tone was still calm and calm:

"As for my eyes, thank you very much...... Good intentions, but I am not related to Chen Jingyi, so I won't worry about her. ”

After she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.

But I didn't hear Lin Ru just return to the classroom, and there was a "bang" sound in the classroom, and the screeching sound of desks and chairs rubbing the ground.

After the sneer, the words were even more unceremonious:

"I said you guys in a room full of men and women, kick others out and ask people to thank you. is really worthy of being the best architectural talent in Tianyang, and bullying people can still play so many tricks! ”

"It's a good routine!"

The crowd turned to look.

I saw a boy in a bright yellow sweatshirt with a chestnut shell natural curl at the back of the classroom, yawning and putting his two long legs on the table in front of him.

Two brown pupils glanced at everyone with disdain.

The short senior sighed and stepped forward to ask, "Which department are you from?" How are you eavesdropping on our meetings here? ”

"Hey~ Don't get me wrong." The boy shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "I'm just waiting for someone here, waiting and falling asleep, not intentionally hearing you guys meeting." ”

"Then please go out now, we're going to continue the meeting."

"What? What is your last name in this classroom? Can't anyone else stay? ”

In the face of the commanding attitude of the short senior, the boy was unmoved.

Simply pedaling the edge of the table with two feet, the whole person leaned back and forward with the chair, back and forth, constantly making the "crunch" sound of the chair rubbing against the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Ru hurriedly walked over to stop it:

"This student, we are from the Department of Architecture, and this classroom was specially approved by Professor Tam Weimin for use alone during the competition. It's all for the honor of Tianyang, don't be surprised. ”

"For Tianyang~For the sake of collective honor~ So what are you going to use? Baroque works competition~ I heard you. ”

The boy raised his head and smiled at Lin Ru, his words were full of mockery:

"I really don't understand you people, the national treasures handed down by our ancestors, foreigners kneel and beg to buy them back and offer them, you are not rare. I worship Western architecture so much, and I think everything is foreign, why don't you just recognize a foreign father? ”

"You!"

In the face of the boy's disrespectful remarks, Lin Ru was about to step forward to theorize, but was pulled by the short-haired senior sister at the corner of his clothes:

"Lin Ru, don't reason with him, this person is notoriously unlearned, but he relies on a little money at home to find a sense of existence here."

"Don't learn and don't know? You're right! ”

The boy Huo Di put down his legs and got up on his own, with wide shoulders and a thin waist of 185, which invisibly brought a sense of oppression to Lin Ru:

"Otherwise, why would Professor Tan let me come and listen to you openly laugh at a female classmate for having color blindness?"

"You were recommended by Professor Tan?"

Lin Ru was slightly stunned and found the point.

I did mention to Professor Tan that there was a lack of a team member who was good at carving, and I hoped that he could recommend candidates, and Professor Tan did say that there was someone who was more suitable.

But later, because he found Chen Jingyi from the Academy of Fine Arts, he left this matter behind.

"The person recommended by Professor Tan who is proficient in wood carving is you?"

"But I'm not interested in joining you."

Seeing that the boy did not deny it, Lin Ru straightened his neck again, barely eye level with the boy:

"Even the craftsmanship recognized by Professor Tan must be wrong. But in my case, no matter how good a person's craftsmanship is, if there is a problem with his character, I will not recognize it. ”

"Who is rare for you to recognize?"

The boy "cut" and knocked Lin Ru's shoulder away and walked out of the classroom.

But when he swept past Chen Jingyi's side, he couldn't help but stop, picked up a structural diagram and shook his head:

"Sculpture is a flower, isn't it? Seeing that you count me as half of my peers, I advise you. Don't wander around the plaster cast of David and Venus all day long, and make your horizons so narrow. ”

"Go to the great rivers and mountains of the motherland to see, and see the stone carving murals of the four major grottoes of Dunhuang, Yungang, Longmen and Maijishan. Go to Xiaoxitian, Linfen Xi County, Shanxi Province to see what is the swan song of wood carving and sculpture. Then take a look at the BJ Courtyard, Hangzhou Yuewang Temple, Xueyan Former Residence, Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and comprehend the stability of the Beijing School in brick carving, the fineness of the Su School, the pattern of the Jin School, the delicacy of the Cantonese School, and the delicacy of the Hui School. ”

When he said this, he gently dropped Chen Jingyi's drawings:

"Then you will come back and talk about what is architectural, what is the beauty of sculpture!"

"You ......"

Chen Jingyi, who has always been held in a high place by teachers and classmates, has never seen this kind of posture, and wanted to refute it, but found that she couldn't even say a complete sentence at this time.

"Jingyi, you don't have to talk nonsense with him."

The short-haired senior sister couldn't look at it, so she protected Chen Jingyi behind her, and turned around and snorted coldly at the boy:

"If you really have the ability, use your wood carving to win the entry round of this ancient construction competition!"

"That's it!"

The glasses senior is not to be outdone:

"The work of the municipal finalist competition is to restore an ancient building to scale. What's the use of you talking about it? Restoring ancient buildings is not just a matter of talking. ”

"Look down on people, huh?" The boy turned his head to look at Lin Ru, and a hint of perseverance suddenly bloomed in his eyes, "Do you dare to gamble?" ”

Lin Ru also came to the momentum: "What are you betting on?" ”

"If I win a higher score than you in the municipal finalist competition with ancient Chinese architecture and am shortlisted, you will kowtow to my work three times! Instead, I'll kowtow to your work three times! Do you dare? ”

"Hmph." Lin Ru smiled disdainfully, "It's up to you?" ”

The boy's eyes circled around the classroom, and although he was alone, he nodded fearlessly:

"I'm alone, enough!"

"You're not a single one!" The short senior approached and mocked, "Are you realistic?" ”

"In a week, it's the deadline." The short-haired senior sister also stepped forward with her arms crossed, her eyes full of arrogance, "You better form a team to build first!" Otherwise, if we are so many of us to bully you, we won't be able to win, so why waste time? ”

Lin Ru also felt at this time that it was indeed a waste of time to bet with such a person.

He beckoned the team members to prepare to continue the meeting, and patted the boy on the shoulder: "Today's words, just because you haven't said it." ”

The others scoffed.

What else does the guy want to say.

I heard a crisp and clean voice outside the door:

"Who said he was only one man!"

He Ying, who had just walked away silently, stood at the door of the classroom at some point.

Gone was the look of disappointment on her face when she left, replaced by confidence and grace. She stepped into the classroom with her head held high, standing beside the boy and looking at Lin Ru.

The red and small red lips spit out a few words cleanly: "He is not alone, and me." ”

The boy grinned instantly.

The sunlight outside the window happened to shine directly through the glass window, shrouding He Ying with a dazzling layer of golden light. The golden beam of light was more like an invisible battle book, lying between the two teams.

Everyone knows it.

At this time, if you say any more sarcastic words, it will only look pale and weak.

Challenge.

is the only choice to defend your dignity.

"Good! We accept the challenge! Lin Ru lightly lifted the corners of his lips and stretched out his hand to the boy in front of him, "I'm an architect, a junior Lin Ru, and I haven't asked for advice yet." ”

Seeing this, the boy reluctantly stretched out a hand inserted into his trouser pocket and shook it vigorously with Lin Ru:

"Ancient buildings, freshmen, early tomorrow."
