Take what you need

Chapter 28

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xie Xingzhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows drinking coffee. The sunlight in the yard was just right, and the red rose was sprinkled with a layer of gold dust under the light.

He went down with the coffee, and a small table was set up in the yard. He put the coffee away, bent down to hug benjiamin who had been circling around him, set up a drawing board in the yard, and then went up to the third floor with the cat in his arms. Take all the above paints and brushes out to the yard.

Next to the garden is a faucet for watering the flowers. Benjamin was put in the garden by him to catch butterflies. He squatted in front of the faucet to wash his brushes.

The original paint left in the studio was long out of use, and he needed to adjust it again. After he finished the color adjustment, Benjamin ran to his feet again. He smiled, bent down to pick him up, and put him on his lap.

He touched the cat's back: "Why are you so clingy to me?"

The cat made a comfortable purring sound under his hands. It turned over and slept in its owner's arms with its eyes closed.

As soon as Xie Xingzhou drew the first stroke, the sound of the car turning off outside the door interrupted his thoughts, and the cat woke up instantly, got off it and ran outside the door.

Xie Xingzhou was about to get up to open the door, when he saw Qin Heng's figure through the iron gate, the two looked at each other for a moment, their eyes were full of ink, Xie Xingzhou was surprised, but he couldn't understand the emotion in Qin Heng's eyes.

Qin Heng pushed the door open and came in. As soon as he stepped in, he felt tripped by something. He lowered his head and saw a snow-white fur ball hanging on the bottom of his trousers. Eyes, glowing with water, looked at him innocently.

His heart trembled slightly, why is Xie Xingzhou's cat so attractive.

Xie Xingzhou called softly: "Benjamin, come here."

He bent down and clapped his hands, motioning for the cat to pass, but Benjamin just glanced in his direction, but his paws continued to grab Qin Heng's trousers.

With a slight smile on the corner of Qin Heng's mouth, he bent down and hugged the fur ball into his arms. The cat arched in his arms and meowed twice comfortably.

Xie Xingzhou straightened up, raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Heng: "It seems that my cat wants you to stay here." He crossed Qin Heng and closed the courtyard door behind him, then walked slowly back to the drawing board, sat down Keep drawing.

Qin Heng took a look into the villa behind him, and after confirming whether there was anyone in the room, Xie Xingzhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, then pressed down the corners of his mouth, "Don't look, no other man has come in here except you. "

Qin Heng looked away, went to the garden and picked up a watering can, and said firmly, "It has nothing to do with me."

Xie Xingzhou sat behind him, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at him lovingly, "Qin Heng, you like me." He used a declarative sentence, and now he is very sure in his heart that this sentence is a theorem rather than a deduction .

Qin Heng's hand watering the flowers paused, and the hand holding the cat tightened. Benjamin was dissatisfied with his lack of tenderness, and meowed angrily, "It doesn't matter anymore."

Xie Xingzhou held the paintbrush and moved his fingers, and the brush drew a beautiful arc in the air, "Qin Heng, is it so difficult to admit that you like me?"

Qin Heng turned to look at him, his pupils were dark, "Xie Xingzhou, we are not qualified to say we like it."

I lied to you, you used me, we are all emotional calculations, not worthy of love.

Xie Xingzhou was noncommittal to his words, "Then why did you come to me?"

Qin Heng watered the flowers leisurely, "I'm afraid I'll die if I don't come to water these flowers." Since Xie Xingzhou came back, he hasn't watered the flowers here much, and he really doesn't know much about the time Xie Xingzhou came back. I have been nervously preparing for this Chinese art exhibition. The professor has been urging this event when I was in country A before, but the time of the exhibition was delayed by him again and again, in order to find an opportunity to return to China to prepare.

A previous art exhibition also invited a professor to help him select works before the exhibition.But this time he didn't ask the teacher for help, but prepared to make his own decision.

Next to the studio in the villa is Grandpa’s collection room, which became the place where he kept his collection after Grandpa left. Now there are more than 20 paintings inspired by Qin Heng in this studio.

The theme of this exhibition is called "Muse in the Rose Garden".

When Xie Xingzhou was arranging the paintings in the living room, he received a call from Wen Lan. Wen Lan said that he had something very important for him. Without hesitation, he immediately put down what he was doing and took a taxi to drive there.

Wen Lan made an appointment with him at the coffee shop. It was already evening when Xie Xingzhou arrived. The sweetness of the coffee and milk tea in the shop made everyone feel relaxed and happy. At that moment, she put down her glass, smiled and nodded at him.

"Here we come." Wen Lan called the waiter and asked Xie Xingzhou, "What would you like to drink?"

Xie Xingzhou opened the stool and sat down, "Ice American style."

"Okay, wait a moment." When the waiter stepped back, Wen Lan took out an envelope from her bag and put it on the table. She pushed the envelope in front of Xie Xingzhou. Xie Xingzhou reached out to take it, but Wen Lan pressed it down with her fingertips , She stared deeply at Xie Xingzhou: "Xingzhou, before I hand this thing over to you, Auntie wants to ask you one last question."

"What's the question?" Xie Xingzhou met her eyes, his eyes were full of sincerity.

"Do you like Ah Heng?"

"I like it!" Xie Xingzhou blurted out, with unprecedented firmness, afraid that he would be denied if he was a second late, "I like it very much."

Wen Lan smiled reassuringly, let go of her hand and handed the envelope to him, "This one fell out of his book when my aunt was helping him tidy up his study. Although it had Su Shi's name written on it, I think This letter should go to you."

"Xing Zhou, Ah-Heng was not good at words since he was a child, and he kept all his thoughts in his heart. In fact, Auntie knew that he liked you very much. I knew he must have never said that he loved you, or even said that he liked you, but Auntie wanted to let you You know, he really likes you, and his liking has nothing to do with Su Shi, it's just because of you, just because of Xie Xingzhou."

A soreness made his heart ache, he squeezed the envelope with his fingers, and nodded slightly.

Wen Lan glanced at him tenderly, "I've already bought the order, so Auntie will leave first."

Xie Xingzhou stood up to see her off, "Auntie, thank you."

"You're welcome, Qin Heng is my son, this is what I should do."

After Wen Lan left, it was already dark outside, and the lights in the coffee shop were warm and bright. He stared at the vigorous "To Su Shi" on the envelope for a long time, then opened the envelope, and took out the yellowed letter paper inside. come out.

Ah Shi:

This year is the sixth year since you left. During these long days and nights of more than 2000 days, I have looked in the direction of the Big Dipper countless times, hoping that it can bring you a little light. I also dreamed of you covered in blood in countless late nights. Lying in my arms, I called for help silently, and when I woke up, tears poured down and I was at a loss.

I have survived the most difficult two years, but the memories in my mind are surging, and there is no trace of ebb.

Ah Shi, I just went to the place where you were sleeping to see you, I wonder if you have felt it.I actually have a lot to say to you when I went to see you today, but when I saw your smiling face, I couldn't say anything.

Although I really don't want to say it, Ah Shi, I seem to like someone else.

I met a person, and many people around him said that he missed you very much, but I don't think you are alike at all.

He has a cold personality, but his eyes are beautiful. He doesn't talk much, but he doesn't feel alienated. He is also very obedient, and he will hug my neck and act like a cat by my side.

Ah Shi, the matter of liking you is finally coming to a successful conclusion. After this summer, I will try to hold his hand tightly. I really like him. Ah Shi, you will bless me ,Is it right?

At this moment, I don't know what kind of mood I am writing this letter, but I really hope to get your blessing.

Today's farewell is regarded as a ceremony, Su Shi, farewell, the past, farewell.

I'm sorry dear, this time I'm going to love someone else.

Yours, Brother Qin Heng

Xie Xingzhou sat in front of the window for a long, long time, tears streaming down his cheeks recklessly, and the rolling tears fell on the yellowed letter paper, enveloping the beautiful characters on it, like an old splash-ink painting... ....
