Chapter 11
Zheng Xi let go, Shen Feng stroked the hair on the top of his head and left.
He fell back on the bed exhausted, as if all his strength had been sucked out, and he stared blankly at the ceiling.
He was in no mood to touch himself anymore, his mind was full of the shame after being exposed by Shen Feng just now, and the inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
He didn't know what was wrong, so he had to pull up the quilt and cover himself tightly.The dark environment made him feel clearer, and he heard his heart beating a bit chaotically.He clutched his chest, and the expression of Shen Feng just now appeared in his mind.
Shen Feng didn't laugh at him, nor did he continue to embarrass him, but just reminded him gently.
But Zheng Xi knew that he couldn't face Shen Feng anymore, too many things that shouldn't have happened tonight, he couldn't stay here any longer.
He didn't close his eyes all night, and got up at dawn the next day, packed his things and left quietly.
Peninsula Road is a villa area, and he walked a long way to hail a taxi.After getting in the car, he sent a message to apologize to Shen Feng, saying that there was nothing he could do to help.Then it was sent to Zheng Xueqing, saying that she would go to shoot for a few days and go home after the shoot.
Seeing the message on the screen that the transmission was successful, he pressed the power off button and asked the driver to drive to the train station.
There are two train stations in this city, the driver asked him which one to go to, he stayed for a moment, then casually said South Station.The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and found that his face was very pale. Out of politeness, he asked him if he was not feeling well.
Zheng Xi thanked him for his concern, and closed his eyes just saying that he didn't sleep well.The driver didn't speak any more, and drove him to the South Railway Station.
He walked to the ticket window to look for a while, and finally chose a nearby seaside city, bought the fastest train, went to a convenience store to buy water and dark chocolate to put in his bag, and then walked to the waiting room.
Today is a working day and it is early in the morning. There are not many people at the train station.After sitting for a while, he heard the station announcement saying that he was about to enter the gate. He stood up and was hit by someone just as he took a step.
The tripod bag in his hand was knocked to the ground. He looked back and saw that the person who hit him was a young girl who looked like a college student.He wears round glasses, a white shirt and a pleated skirt, and carries a large painting bag on his back.
As soon as Zheng Xi turned around, she saw her bowing her head to apologize, Zheng Xi smiled, and picked up the bag after saying nothing.The girl looked up at him, her big eyes lit up, and she stretched out her hand to him: "Hello, my name is Shen Qian, and I'm a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. Can you be my model?"
Zheng Xi was taken aback, never expecting that this girl would make such a request to a stranger.
It's just that he is not in the mood at all now: "Sorry, I have to get in the car, so I can't help you."
He was about to leave after he finished speaking, but unexpectedly the girl stood in front of him and begged, "Don't reject me in a hurry, I also take this train. You are very good-looking, I have been looking for someone like you The facial features are deep, with both male outlines and feminine delicate and soft faces. Can you give me a chance? I won't delay you for a long time, can you let me draw a picture?"
The people in front had already entered the gate one after another, Zheng Xi was blocked by her, and she clasped her hands together in a begging look, and people passing by all cast curious glances.
Zheng Xi is not the kind of character who can forcefully reject people, so he can only say: "Let's talk about it in the car if you have anything to do."
Shen Qian smiled, two dimples appeared on her face.She entered the gate behind Zheng Xi. Zheng Xi originally wanted to say that the two people were in different positions after getting on the bus. If he had been more indifferent, Shen Qian would have retreated in spite of the difficulties.Unexpectedly, Shen Qian followed him all the way into the car, walked to the ninth car, and stopped before the position of 9.
Zheng Xi turned to look at her: "Even if you follow here, it's useless, you'll have to go back to your place when the person next to me comes."
Shen Qian shook the ticket in her hand, and laughed again: "What a coincidence, it seems that God has helped me this time. I am seat 14, next to the corridor."
After she finished speaking, she put the portfolio on the ground. Zheng Xi didn't expect such a coincidence, so she resigned herself to putting both bags on the luggage rack, and sat by the window with only her camera bag in her arms.
As soon as he sat down, he stared out the window in a daze. Shen Qian looked at the camera bag in his hand and asked, "You learned photography?"
Zheng Xi nodded numbly.
Shen Qian: "Then why did you go to Bincheng this time? I don't think you brought any luggage. Did you go to shoot?"
Zheng Xi closed her eyes and didn't answer her any more.
The sun outside the car window shone in through the glass, and the pale golden light fell on Zheng Xi's fair face, portraying his facial features much softer.
He was wearing a white sweater, leaning against the window with his cheek propped on one hand, his demeanor was serene, with a youthful air.Shen Qian didn't care about his indifference at all, she tilted her head and looked at him from several angles.
He didn't sleep all night, there was a faint cyan under his eyes, but they were blocked by the shadow of long eyelashes, and his full lips showed a soft light color, which made Shen Qian reluctant to blink.
A few passengers passed by one after another. She was afraid that these people would disturb Zheng Xi, so she took out her mobile phone and switched to the camera screen, and took a picture of Zheng Xi sleeping first.
I thought Zheng Xi was just squinting for a while, but he didn't expect that the trains were moving, he still maintained this posture, and his breathing became longer.
Shen Qian took out a medium-sized painting clip from her bag, chose another sketch pencil, clipped the paper and started drawing.
She turned her head to look at Zheng Xi while drawing, the slight vibration of the moving car did not disturb Zheng Xi's sleep, but the camera bag on his lap was gradually tilted, and it was about to fall, Shen Qian caught it, gently Lightly placed on the small table.
Shen Qian has learned to draw since she was a child, and it is very easy for her to complete a sketch.But she rarely encounters such satisfactory materials as Zheng Xi, so she draws carefully, and takes out a piece of paper to continue after drawing.After drawing four pictures like this, Zheng Xi finally opened his eyes.
He was so tired that although he changed several positions, he never woke up.
As a result, when she opened her eyes, she saw the drawing board in Shen Qian's hand, and the person on it was herself.He was stunned, and before he could turn his head, he heard Shen Qian laughing, "Are you awake? I have Coke here, but I haven't opened it yet. Do you want to drink it?"
He turned his head to look at the girl beside him. Shen Qian took out a bottle of Coke from behind and handed it to him as if by magic.
Zheng Xi is not an easy person to get along with, so he is resistant to this familiar character.He rubbed his stiff neck and said, "No need, I don't like sweet things."
Shen Qian took the Coke back, not minding his indifference at all.He handed the three pictures he drew just now: "See if you like these three pictures, if you like them, I'll give them to you, and the last one I plan to make the draft of my next submission, you can take a look too. "
Shen Qian shook the one on the drawing board, and Zheng Xi glanced at it, and saw that he was falling asleep with his head tilted.Shen Qian's skills are very good, the sketch is lifelike, and the light and shadow of movement and stillness are skillfully played, giving the illusion of a black and white photo.
Zheng Xi likes photography and has a certain foundation in painting, but he likes oil painting.During the three years abroad, he has found a private teacher to learn. Although the time invested is not as much as photography, he has achieved a little success.
So when he saw Shen Qian's paintings, the resistance to Shen Qian in his heart had faded a lot.
He accepted the other three, and said casually, "Does this count as an infringement of portrait rights?"
Shen Qian: "Forget it, I've already told you, and my painting is fair and aboveboard, and I have benefited you."
She pointed to the three paintings that Zheng Xi had accepted. Zheng Xi bent his lips, but said nothing, but leaned back on the back of the chair and continued to be dazed.
Shen Qian put away the painting tools and turned to look at him again: "You have already become my model, at least tell me what your name is. If my work wins an award, I will share half of the prize money with you."
Zheng Xi: "You don't get paid for nothing, not to mention I didn't do anything, so there's no need."
However, Shen Qian did not have such an easy way of dismissing her: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Zheng Xi didn't answer again, and continued to look out the window.
It was only ten minutes before he arrived in Bincheng. He had been to Bincheng before, so he was not a stranger.Just thinking about where to take pictures for a while, I heard the girl next to me tirelessly saying: "Actually, you don't have to be so wary of me, and I won't kidnap and traffic you. Besides, when I submit an article next time, people ask the model's name, I can't Pick one up for you."
Zheng Xi was disturbed by her quarrel, and couldn't keep a straight face, so he had to surrender: "Zheng Xi."
He gave his name concisely, and Shen Qian said happily, "Which Xi?"
Zheng Xi said helplessly, "I hope."
Shen Qian nodded, and boasted without hesitation: "It's really suitable for you. You look so good that people feel that the world is full of hope."
Her inexplicable praise finally made Zheng Xi laugh: "What?"
"Finally I laughed. It's so hard to make you laugh. You are so good-looking, but you just put on a look of being bullied. It makes people feel distressed. Let me tell you, there is nothing else in this world except life and death." Happiness is a trivial matter, not worth thinking about all the time." Shen Qian handed the Coke to Zheng Xi again: "You say you don't like sweet drinks, but in fact you will miss a lot of flavors that can make you happy. For example, take a sip of Coke Going down, the mouth is full of sweet bubbles, and the mood suddenly becomes better. If you don’t believe me, just take a sip and try it.”
What she said was exaggerated, but those big eyes were shining brightly.It's not that I haven't seen the sunny girl Zheng Xi before, but I've never seen such a pestering one.In fact, he could feel that Shen Qian had no malicious intentions, and she was not like those girls who approached him with intentions before.So he hesitated for a moment, then took it and took a sip.
"How is it?" Shen Qian looked at him expectantly.
Zheng Xi hasn't had a Coke for a long time, and the bubbles on the tip of his tongue exuded a hint of sweetness, which indeed evoked some different emotions.He drank a few sips in a row before looking at Shen Qian: "This bottle of Coke can be used as a portrait fee."
Shen Qian chuckled, and the dimples appeared on her face again: "Why do you always worry about portrait rights?"
Zheng Xi: "Because you are not the first person to draw me."
Shen Qian suddenly realized: "You are so good-looking, you must have the self-consciousness to be appreciated by others. But don't worry, I won't change your painting randomly."
Zheng Xi: "Stop boasting, I'm getting ready to get off the bus."
Shen Qian immediately stood up with her painting bag: "Let's go together, I'm going to Bincheng too."
Zheng Xi looked at her suspiciously: "Is there such a coincidence?"
Shen Qian smiled and said: "I don't know why you went to Bincheng, but I went to sketch. I signed up for an oil painting exhibition, and the theme I chose was 'sea', so I went to Baiqi Beach in Bincheng to paint."
Zheng Xi froze for a moment, but said nothing.Instead, he took off the things on the luggage rack, walked to the door and prepared to get off.
Shen Qian has been following behind him, chatting without saying a word, but it is good that he can answer one sentence out of ten.Shen Qian didn't mind either. After getting off the bus, the two walked out of the station one after the other. She saw Zheng Xi hailed a taxi and bent down to tell the driver the destination.She looked at Zheng Xi in surprise: "Is our destination really the same? Then let's go together."
After speaking, she opened the rear door and made a "please" gesture to Zheng Xi.
Zheng Xi already guessed that she couldn't get rid of her, so he just sat in.
Shen Qian was talking to him all the way, but he was still as indifferent as before.After arriving at Baiqi Beach, Zheng Xi began to look for shooting spots, and Shen Qian didn't follow him anymore.His world is finally clean again, and he can start doing what he wants to do.
It's just that he forgot himself as soon as he got into it. It wasn't until after five o'clock in the afternoon that his hands and feet felt weak and he realized that he hadn't eaten for a day.So I packed up my equipment and prepared to find a place to eat.
However, he had just walked a few steps when he saw Shen Qian sitting on the embankment not far away drawing pictures.
Shen Qian's back was facing him, and a large drawing board was propped in front of her.Looking from a distance, Zheng Xi saw that the drawing board was already a blue world. He suddenly wanted to see what Shen Qian's painting looked like, so he walked behind her and watched quietly.
Shen Qian uses rich colors, the gradient sea is covered with seven or eight different blues, the sky is much simpler, and the only embellishment between the sea and the sky is a boy standing facing the sea.
The boy was dressed in white and seemed to be holding something in his hand.Zheng Xi looked familiar, and suddenly realized that this was an action of raising the camera.He took a closer look at the boy's clothes. The two black vertical stripes on his arms were exactly the same as what he was wearing today.He finally understood that he became Shen Qian's model again.
He shook his head helplessly, and was about to leave, but Shen Qian turned her head and sneezed. When she saw him, she burst out laughing again: "You are here, are you leaving after filming?"
Zheng Xi: "Well, I'm going to eat, you can continue to draw."
Shen Qian took out her mobile phone from her pocket, pressed the dial interface and handed it to Zheng Xi: "Give me your number, I mean it, if you win, I will share half of your prize money as your portrait fee."
Zheng Xi was completely speechless by her persistence, so she gave her the number in order to get away to eat quickly.Shen Qian took back her phone, waved to him and continued drawing.
As he walked, he took out his mobile phone to look at it. As soon as he took a picture, he would forget everything, and naturally he forgot to turn off his mobile phone in the morning.
As soon as I turned it on, I saw more than [-] missed calls, three of which were from grandpa, and the rest were all from Shen Feng.
Shen Feng also sent him a lot of messages, all of which were asking where he was, and hoped that he would reply as soon as possible.
Zheng Xi pursed his lips, he was not ready to face Shen Feng yet.Just as I was thinking about whether to turn off the phone again, the phone rang.
The caller was Shen Feng.
He hesitated for a long time but did not answer, but Shen Feng rang tirelessly, and finally couldn't bear it when it rang for the third time, and pressed the answer button.
Shen Feng's voice was very anxious: "Xiaoxi, where are you? Why did you leave without saying a word? Do you know that I am very worried about you!"
Zheng Xi stood at the intersection, opposite to the snack street.The aroma of various foods penetrated into the lungs, but it didn't arouse his appetite at all.Looking at the unfamiliar street in front of him, he suddenly felt very tired and didn't want to go any further.
"I'm in Bincheng." He didn't know why he told Shen Feng where he was, and when the green light turned on, he crossed the street and walked to a tavern opposite.
At this time, there are no customers in the tavern, but it has already opened.His shadow was cast on the sliding door by the setting sun, covering the old pictorials pasted on the door.Ever since he said he was in Bincheng, Shen Feng fell into silence, and he hasn't spoken yet.
But he could always hear Shen Feng's breathing.
He sighed: "I'll hang up first."
"Wait!" Shen Feng said, "Where are you in Bincheng?"
