MTL - Gifting You With A City that Will Never Be Isolated-Chapter 14
Bai Ziren had not eaten a meal so much for a long time. In the uncle's house, most of the time, her mother was holding a rice bowl and behind her two sons. She was feeding while she was holding rice. The question of Uncle Mu is very polite, the atmosphere is not like the taste of the mountains and the sea. Now, the afterglow of the sun shines in, the grandmother and the granddaughter squabble, the noisy TV sounds and the concern of Cheng Jingbo Inexplicably, she thought of the four words of the tens of thousands of lights. When she was very young, the family ate around the square table in the evening, turned on the TV, and had a program of the same name.
Wanjia lights, ordinary people, four words that are happy again.
She stared at the full, shiny rice in the bowl and decided to eat slowly.
After eating the meal, Xu Laotai soaked the tea, put a plate of fresh dates on the table, Fang Rong was idle, and handed his album to Bai Ziren for appreciation: "Sister, you said that I might become a painter. ?"
Bai Ziren looked at it well and waited until the last page to really praise: "I think it is very possible."
Fang Rong got the unexpected answer and smiled awkwardly: "I reported a class, and I went to further study during the winter vacation, hoping that I can make progress."
Xu Laotai smiled awkwardly: "There is a good interest. At this point, I support you. It is better than wasting time on other aspects."
Alluding to the book hidden in her drawer.
Fang Rong was in a mess, and he went over to talk to Bai Ziren and wanted her to draw a picture.
Bai Ziren thought: "I haven't painted it for a long time, and I don't know what to paint."
"You can just paint a teacher." Fang Rong had a good idea.
Bai Ziren stayed.
"Draw me?" Cheng Jingbo turned his head.
"Sketch is just fine, or the cartoon version is OK." Fang Rong took a bite from the date in the bowl.
Bai Ziren and Cheng Jingbo looked at each other. The latter's attitude was easy-going. He looked at the statue, so she picked up a pencil and dropped the first pen on the blank sketchbook.
After twenty minutes, Bai Ziren finished painting and handed it to Fang Rong. Fang Rong looked at it and smiled: "Sure enough, I caught the charm, especially the brow here."
"Show me," said Cheng Jingbo, who is sitting opposite.
Fang Rong put it up and showed him: "You don't like yourself."
Cheng Jingbo looked at it and his eyes fell back to Bai Ziren’s face: "Have you studied painting?"
“Only when I was in elementary school, I attended an art class.”
"Really? It's a pity. I have a talented sister. I didn't even go in this direction." Fang Rong said that he grabbed the pen and was very sophisticated. "But the shadow of the cheek is not enough. I will help you." Deepen up."
Still in the future, Cheng Jingbo reached out and took the book: "No need to modify, this is fine."
After that, he pulled off the complete one from the book: "Leave me to commemorate."
Bai Ziren confirmed: "Do you want to collect my paintings?"
"Do you want to open a price?" he asked.
Bai Ziren quickly shook his head: "If you like it, take it."
Xu Laotai smiled very happy: "Hey, this will be a lot of cool paintings, it really is a person who knows each other, let him collect it."
Bai Ziren bowed his head and silently took a date. She thought it was not her stingy. She originally planned to keep the painting herself. After all, there was no chance for him to sit opposite the model.
"Grandma, I will draw my boyfriend in the future." Fang Rongyao wants the future.
Xu Laotai splashed her cold water: "When you are too big, think about those, first make the basics solid."
Cheng Jingbo motivated her: "Then you must insist that after having a boyfriend, you can't give up halfway."
"This is of course, I am not the kind of person who has been fishing for two days and drying the net for three days."
Xu Laotai immediately dismantled her: "It’s a good talk. Last month, people ran out, slept late on weekends, and didn’t see you take the pen to practice.”
"I am not lazy, I am looking for inspiration, thinking hard." Fang Rong snorted.
When Bai Ziren listened to their conversations, when they turned their eyes, they just happened to the eyes that were quiet on the road. His pupils were very beautiful, like ink strokes, and a layer of light gold was opened at the edge of the light. It is such an illusion that he is simply looking at him. He is studying you with great concentration.
She just wanted to look away. He even smiled at her. The usual smile, the heavens and the earth were soft and gentle.
Before leaving, Cheng Jingbo hand-picked a few dates from the bowl and handed it to Bai Ziren: "In your pocket, you can eat on the road."
Fang Rong snickered on the side.
After they left, Xu Laotai was in a good mood and said in her mouth: "I finally waited until he brought a girlfriend, but it was a matter of my heart."
Fang Rong asked strangely: "Grandma, you said why he only made a girlfriend until now, is there any hidden disease?"
"What is the hidden disease?"
"Forget it, you can't explain this rich world to you in one or two sentences." Fang Rong inadvertently looked back at the bag of medicine at the corner of the table. "However, he is really a good person."
Xu Laotai went to the corner and carefully lifted the bag. He found that the medicine was heavy. It was estimated that something was added. On the one hand, he was gratified by the students’ intentions. On the other hand, the better the medicine, the more expensive the price. Worried, wait for the medicine to be brought back to the kitchen, open the bag, and press the envelope at the bottom. When you take it out, you know what it is. She sighs a long time. This has long said that he should not want his money. He is also happy. Promise, how can you speak without counting?
When Cheng Jingbo and Bai Ziren walked out of the long alley, and at the intersection, Bai Ziren looked up and looked at the sky. It was so dark, but the mood was very bright. I couldn’t help but say: "I really like Xu’s grandmother and feel very happy. ""
“Because the food is delicious?”
She shook her head and gave her a little courage. She continued, "No, I feel very happy with you."
He said: "This shows that you can make friends like most of your peers. Sometimes the problem is not as serious as you think. It is going to be the first step."
"……Oh, really?"
What she wants to say is not this. He completely understands the mistake. Probably she did not express her good reason, so she carefully added: "But I am not like this to everyone."
"This is normal."
"Sometimes, there are only a few people who can communicate."
"This can also be understood."
“Even it’s just for one person.”
"What are you talking about?" This time he really didn't hear clearly because her voice was getting lower and lower.
"Nothing." She didn't have the courage to say it again.
When I got on the bus, Bai Ziren just sat in the co-pilot's seat, and a date in the pocket fell out. The two sons bowed their heads at the same time. The result was that he picked it up. When he looked up, his forehead was just attached to her cheek. Her heart twitched and the skin on her face warmed up. He didn't notice it. Waiting for her to sit down and return the date to her.
The car had a long way to go, she was still a bit stunned, and she heard a very untrue statement.
"Do you like me?"
She admitted that her heartbeat almost ended, and felt that the whole person was poured into a basin of boiling water and thrown into a glaciers.
"This question is difficult to answer?"
"I think maybe it is possible..."
"Like is like, don't like it, don't like it, there is no intermediate answer."
She held her breath and said, "Because I have never had experience in this area, I don't know if my feeling at the moment is true. If I can give me a few days, I think I should be able to determine my inner answer. After all, such a thing. It is very solemn."
Cheng Jingbo’s calm eyes were a bit dull. Later, he said, “Just ask you, do you like the book I recommend?”
"..."
It turned out that she only listened to the middle part.
"You don't need to have such a lot of pressure on this issue." He tried to adjust her mood.
"Oh, it's a book, I think about it." Bai Ziren immediately calmed down and searched the name of the books in his mind, and found that it was hard for her to read it.
"If you don't like it, I can recommend it for you."
“Can you change some simple and easy to read?”
"I think, there is an autobiography of "Traveler", you may like it."
“Traveler? Is it a trip for travel?”
"Yes, it is an autobiographical book by a Nobel physicist who describes himself as a traveler on the way to exploring the truth."
Listening to him saying this, she has an interest.
"This book is hard to find. If your school library and nearby bookstores are not found, I will bring it to you next week."
"Okay, I really want to read."
While waiting for the red light, Cheng Jingbo found a paper and pen from a small drawer in the lower right corner and wrote her title and author name.
Bai Ziren took over and came to see.
Just outside the window, there was a beam of radiance on her face, and her side face was placed in it like a frozen movie lens.
The first time I looked at a girl's facial features at close range, there would be a pleasing feeling. He thought, maybe the street view here was so beautiful, and the subconscious inertia curbed the extra thoughts.
Before she turned her head, he had taken back the "somewhat" sight in a courtesy manner and was not in a hurry to speak.
The sudden silence in the car made people feel a little embarrassed, which made her feel that the peace is not the same. He did not take the initiative to break this kind of embarrassment. In the past, if he saw what she wanted to say and could not say anything, he would Open the right side to ease the atmosphere, but this time he did not.
Did he realize that she was weird along the way?
He didn't talk until he got off the bus. Finally she got out of the car and said goodbye to him. He just smiled very lightly and nodded.
But when she turned around, she heard the voice from him, and it was slow and clear under the moonlight of the winter. It seemed to be a confirmation.
"Bai Ziren, are you twenty-three years old this year?"
She turned around for the first time and nodded: "Yes, what happened?"
"Nothing, just ask, go ahead."
She still stayed in place for a while, confirming that he really did not have to worry about going back.
Cheng Jingbo was silent in the car.
Twenty-three years old, I was an adult who could be responsible for myself. He is only twenty-eight years old. It is a generation. It is normal to be a friend. But why do you say "you are a child?" "Yunyun, he felt very appropriate. For him, the current she seems to be a child who needs him to look after."
He has always been a patient who is so patient with others. Even if he only answers his professional doubts and never participates in their private life, he has been strictly pulling a distance and using actions to show the facts, to some extent. Their identity is insurmountable for life, and it is the same. He is the only male teacher in the school who has zero lame scandals.
After a while, his sprawling thoughts were interrupted by the car ringing behind him, and his eyes were removed. Through the rearview mirror, a boy was carrying a girl, and he swayed all the way. When he was close, he saw their faces and felt very good. There is a simple and pure feeling.
He thought about it, then slowly retired and left the campus. 2k novel reading network
