Chapter 42·Each one
“Express delivery!” The weather was getting warmer, and people tend to get sleepy easily. Qi Zhixuan was dozing off while sitting at the front desk of the small painter, when he was woken up by the delivery master’s loud shout.
“Thank you.” Qi Zhixuan woke up from his dream and did not forget to thank him politely. He opened the box and found a series of neat and cute cartoon stickers inside.
This is a small gift he gave to Chen Runsong. Since the two of them met, he has had eighty or not a hundred kinds of desserts in his stomach. Even the hydrangea cake that he couldn’t bear to eat last time ended up in his stomach.At that time, he was thinking about how to keep this beauty.
After all, I’m just a painter, so why not apply what I’ve learned?He drew every dessert he had eaten in detail, scanned it into an electronic draft, and customized it into an exclusive sticker. Unexpectedly, when he got it, it turned out to be even better than he imagined.
When Chen Runsong saw the sticker, his eyes lit up, as if he was curious about something.The sticker not only shows the various desserts he has made, but also a Q version of himself, wearing a small apron, with two shallow pear dimples at the corners of his mouth, and his round appearance is super cute.
“It’s so cute!” He took pictures of the stickers with his phone, selected several of his favorites, and carefully pasted them on the back of his phone case. The more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became.
“As long as you like it.” Qi Zhixuan was originally here to give a gift, but Chen Runsong forced him to feed him in the store. The freshly baked soufflé was so soft that it melted in his mouth.
“What’s this, brother.” Lin Yan pushed the door in from the outside and saw a lot of colorful stickers spread out on the table. Her brother was holding up his mobile phone to take pictures.
“Good stuff.” Chen Runsong picked up one like a treasure and dusted it with his hand.
“Eh… isn’t this…” Lin Yan looked at these familiar cakes. They were clearly the ones her brother often made, and the Q version of the villain was her brother!
“Brother Xuan, did you draw it?” Lin Yan was surprised. Although she often received guidance from Qi Zhixuan, she had hardly seen him draw.
She took the sticker and looked at it over and over, the more she looked at it, the more she admired it.
A layman only thinks it’s cute, but an expert can see the difference. Some desserts only use a few strokes to fully outline the fluffy texture and full shape, which is a perfect masterpiece.
Qi Zhixuan smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Yan knelt down in front of him, took his arm and began to cry, “God help me!!!”
This was simply a horror movie, so frightened that the spoonful of soufflé Qi Zhixuan had just scooped up fell back into the bowl.
“Are you Biao?” Chen Runsong didn’t know which song it was from, so he put a sticker on his sister’s head.
Lin Yan rubbed her head and ignored it, and continued to hold Qi Zhixuan’s arm, her tone pleading: “Brother Xuan, come with me to the Comic Expo this weekend! Please!!!” She clasped her hands together and almost said goodbye.
It turns out that Lin Yan and her classmates had made an appointment a long time ago to set up a hand-painted avatar booth at the Comic Exhibition on the weekend.Unexpectedly, her classmate was suddenly hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, leaving her alone and too busy to do anything.
“I’m not doing it to make money. In fact, many of my relatives and friends came all the way to buy tickets for this. I can’t draw all the sparks by myself!” Lin Yan frowned, looking aggrieved, looking really pitiful.
Qi Zhixuan was a little confused. He had never been to a comic exhibition, and not long after he was able to draw, his hands had grown a lot. He was afraid of screwing up. He wanted to help her, but he had no idea.
Chen Runsong saw Qi Zhixuan’s troubled expression and asked his sister to find other classmates so as not to embarrass anyone here.
“I asked!” Lin Yan pouted, with an aggrieved look on her face, “Some of them are not as skilled as me. They just smashed the signs when they went there. They were good at painting but they didn’t want to join in the fun. I really had no choice but to ask Brother Xiao Xuan…” She paused, looked at Qi Zhixuan, and waved her hand sensibly, “Forget it, Brother Xiao Xuan, you are busy with your work, I will ask the classmates in other classes.”
Qi Zhixuan thought for a while, and now that the store has reliable manpower, he is indeed not that busy.It’s just a portrait…it shouldn’t be too difficult, right?It doesn’t hurt to give it a try, it might even be interesting.
So he agreed to Lin Yan in a daze.
When he showed up at the comic show, Qi Zhixuan was still dazed. Lin Yan had communicated with him that the avatar was basically a half body or head, just follow the person who came to the scene. Some people may have some small requests, such as adding a small emoticon or something, but if there are too many requests, they won’t draw.
Her relatives and friends all made appointments and agreed to exchange materials with her to paint for free. There were a few who paid a fee, and they usually came over temporarily on site.
Qi Zhixuan’s hand holding the brush was tight at first. Although he and Lin Yan both used gouache, her painting style was exquisite and delicate, but he was used to freehand brushwork. His free lines were a bit abstract, and he was always worried that no one would like it.
Until the first painting was handed over, the other person took a hundred and eighty pictures in succession with the square piece of paper, and was still praising: “So cute! Handsome guy, you are so awesome, aren’t you? Yanzi, is this the level of your Jingmei?”
“This is not my classmate. He is my teacher after all. He is as good as a master!” Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, but her hand did not stop, still painting the other girl in front of her.
At this time, several people around him were a little surprised, because Qi Zhixuan looked really young, which made everyone more interested in him and started to inquire.
As soon as the curious question popped up, Lin Yan ruthlessly interrupted: “Stop chatting, there is still a queue behind you.”
“Madam, can you add some stars for me, right here.”
The girl in front of him pointed to a place. Qi Zhixuan was not used to this title, but he still nodded.
“Madam, can you please make an appointment? This is so beautiful! I like this style so much.”
Qi Zhixuan shook his head with a smile and whispered thank you.
“Can you draw a double portrait for me? I want to draw a portrait of me and my partner.”
“I don’t have enough time, sorry.”
Qi Zhixuan dealt with them one by one and drew them all in one afternoon. He achieved great results. From being nervous at the beginning, he has now become more comfortable. The speed of drawing is also amazing.
“Brother Xuan, you draw first. I’ll leave a few spots for the last few people to wait in line. It’s already late.” Lin Yan’s voice was a little hoarse as she saw that Qi Zhixuan had been busy all afternoon and didn’t even drink a few sips of water.
Qi Zhixuan nodded in agreement. By the time he finished the last painting, the lights in the exhibition hall had dimmed a lot, and many booths were packing up.
Lin Yan sent the last customer away, slumped on the stall for a while, and then began to say goodbye to Qi Zhizhi again, “I have worked so hard on you today, little brother Xuan!! Wow, oh, oh, oh, you are my life and death friend!”
Qi Zhixuan smiled. This was also a new attempt for him. He had not drawn continuously for such a long time in many years, and the children at the comic exhibition were all very good, very gentle and complimentary. Doing this also made him feel very happy.
As he was drinking water, a tall figure came over, turned the chair in front of him, sat down, and put his arms on the back of the chair.
“Madam, has the stall been closed?”
“Can’t we add one more person?” the man asked again, his voice a little familiar.
Lin Yan frowned in the dimness, and was about to get up to see who was so careless when she saw Qi Zhixuan put down the water glass, smiled and held the hand that the other person stretched out: “Okay, you can draw as many pictures as you want.”
Only then did Lin Yan realize that it was the sports school student whom she had dinner with last time. His name seemed to be Pang Jing.
“Ah…it turns out to be you…” Lin Yan looked at their intertwined hands, thinking wildly.
“Well, hello.” Pang Jing greeted her and started to help them pack their things.
“Didn’t you practice extra today? How come you have time?” Qi Zhixuan wiped the paint box. Pang Jing has been very busy recently. He always practices extra on weekends and often doesn’t see anyone.
“Well, come take a look and then go back to school.” Pang Jing packed up his painting bag and put it on his shoulder.
“Ah? Go back to school? Are you still practicing tomorrow?” Qi Zhixuan thought Pang Jing was here to accompany him home.
“I won’t practice tomorrow. My parents have something to do here tomorrow. They said they would pick me up from school and have a meal together. It would be more convenient to live in school.” He hugged Qi Zhixuan and walked out, taking the roll-up in Lin Yan’s hand away.
Qi Zhixuan nodded and followed him out. Lin Yan was watching them from behind, and she tried her best to suppress the raised corners of her mouth.
Oh my God!This giant whale seems to be smaller than me, almost every year!Sports student x painter!What a frustrating cp!!
In fact, when her brother and Qi Zhixuan first met, she silently talked to each other for a while, but then she got boss Jiang as her brother-in-law, and she could only regret it. Seeing these two people now, they are so matched!I really want to create a 100-chapter fan comic!
“Yan’er, hurry up, the car is coming.” Qi Zhixuan walked out and didn’t see Lin Yan for a long time. When he looked back, he was still in a daze.
“Hey! Here we come!” Lin Yan wiped her saliva, swallowed her imagination, and trotted to follow.
The American and Chinese couple came to Beijing today to look at new products and wanted to take a look at their son. The trunk was packed full of things they brought from home.
“Oh, Dawei! Don’t forget the sauced beef!” Meihua just put down a few vacuumed pig trotters, and then thought of her sauced meat.
“I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to eat at school.” Pang Wei looked at the pile, and the genius had just warmed up, and he was afraid that the child would not be able to eat.
“You have enough to eat, why worry about this?” Meihua waved her hands. She was not worried about how they would eat, she was just worried that they would not have enough to eat.”A big guy with one bedroom, he finished it within two days of keeping it.”
When he picked up his son after finishing his work, Pang Jing was frightened to death by the things in the car. “This is too much…” He opened several bags and looked inside. They were full of meat and vegetables.
“Oh, it’s not much. I’ll share it with my classmates and get some for Xiao Qi.” Meihua patted her son’s arm. Yes, it was still so strong.”Hey, why didn’t you invite Xiao Qi to come with you?”
Meihua originally asked Pang Jing to invite Qi Zhixuan to have dinner with him, but Pang Jing was worried because he felt that he and Qi Zhixuan were too close, and he was not sure when the secret would be exposed, so he found an excuse: “He is busy in the shop and can’t get away.”
“Yes, that’s how opening a store is, you can’t do without people.” Meihua believed it, and as if to verify her words, her phone rang immediately, and she started to deal with the chores in the store again.
Pang Jing sighed inwardly. He had not yet decided when to tell his parents about himself and Qi Zhixuan.
At noon, a family of three sat at the copper pot shabu-shabu restaurant they often visit.The water is bubbling at the bottom of the pot, and the thinly sliced mutton rolls are cooked as soon as they are rinsed in the pot. Meihua’s favorite is this bite, saying that the mutton here does not have any smell, and it is fragrant when rinsed in clear water.
Pang Wei took a piece of mutton with chopsticks and asked casually. The last time Pang Jing called him, he said that he would switch back to the original project. He didn’t ask more, but he kept thinking about it.
“It’s better than when school started, but it’s still not ideal.” Pang Whale put meat into the pot, his eyes darkened a bit.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” Although he was worried, Pang Wei didn’t say much. Children have their own ideas since childhood, and they can’t worry too much.
“Just as he was saying, “Hiss–” Hua mixed a bowl of dipping sauce and was trying to mix it evenly when his hand accidentally slipped and hit Pang Whale.
“Oh, I’m sorry!She quickly took out a few tissues and handed them over, “Go to the bathroom and wipe them.””
When Pang Jing came back, Meihua told him: “Xiao Qi called just now and asked you to reply after dinner.”
He responded and sat down again to cook the meat.They had eaten this copper pot shabu-shabu several times, but Meihua never got tired of eating it. She made several plates of hand-cut mutton and ate it without even having the time to talk. She couldn’t help but burp before leaving.
The family spends less time together and more separation. Except for holidays, we rarely see each other. The couple sends their children back to school and then leaves again.
“I’m in, please drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety.”Pang Jing said goodbye to his parents at the school gate, carrying large and small bags.
“I know, let’s go in.”Meihua waved her hand, closed the window and left.
Pang Jing carried these things to the dormitory, just like a good official who distributed relief food. The things everyone brought during the holiday had been eaten long ago. With this wave of supplies, he could be happy again.
So Pang Jing was busy distributing American and Chinese love food, and only had time to call Qi Zhixuan after it was done.
“Have you finished eating with your uncle and aunt?”Qi Zhixuan should be preparing tea over there, and you can hear the sound of his teapot beeping.
“It’s finished!Pang Jing stood on the balcony, his voice immediately softened a bit, “Xiao Xuan, I miss you so much.”I haven’t slept in the same bed with you for seven days. We won’t be there until next weekend, so it’s been twelve days!”I sent Qi Zhixuan home yesterday. Because Lin Yan was there, I couldn’t even kiss him properly. I really couldn’t think of anything better.
Qi Zhixuan smiled, “I miss you too. I’ll go to your school to have lunch with you when I have time, okay?””
“Then you come tomorrow.”
“Okay, but I still have something to tell you…”
While he was busy coaxing the children, he didn’t get down to business yet. Pang Jing had to wear muscle patches because of his heavy training, so his muscles were always uncomfortable, but the effect was not particularly good. Qi Zhixuan felt distressed, so he asked Dr. Yu to give him acupuncture treatment. Dr. Yu had not been out for a long time, but Qi Zhixuan couldn’t refuse, so he agreed.
“I understand.”Pang Jing felt warm in his heart as he listened. Qi Zhixuan thought about him in everything. This was really good. “Next time I will talk to the team doctor and Dr. Yu to determine the time and direction of treatment.”
“Well, take good care of yourself.”The sound of someone entering the store came from Qi Zhixuan’s side, “Someone is coming to the store. I’ll hang up now and see you for lunch tomorrow.”
After hanging up the phone, Pang Jing glanced at the person on the phone screen and couldn’t help but touch his face. This wallpaper of his was taken by Qi Zhixuan when he was fishing on the ice in the winter. He was holding a big fish and smiling very cutely.
At that time, it was like there was a veil between him and me, but now we were finally close to each other. It was good to be able to hold someone in our hands, but Pang Jing thought of Yuna’s words again, that he must be capable to be qualified to decide his own life.
He sighed and kept cheering himself up. He must work harder for an honest love and a better future.
