"What do you plan to do with this photo?" A Zhi asked from the side.
"Confiscated!" Shen Jianzhi said firmly, and put the photo in his jacket pocket.
"Hey! Jianzhi, it's something dropped by a customer. It's not good to do that." The store manager complained disapprovingly.
"Let's talk about it when that kid comes to look for it!" Shen Jianzhi planned to wait until the young man came to look for the photo before making things difficult for him to frustrate his arrogance.
But judging from the eagerness of the young man leaving the store just now, Shen Jianzhi had a premonition in his heart that the young man would not come to the store again.Thinking of never seeing him again, Jianzhi couldn't help feeling depressed in his chest, annoyed that he couldn't hold his breath so hard that he just ran away in anger with the best model candidate.
As expected, Chen Chaodong never appeared again as Shen Jianzhi expected.
Jianzhi continues to work part-time, and everything seems to be the same as before.But at dusk, feelings of loss would fill his chest, making him very uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, Jianzhi couldn't find the next model anymore, and whenever he was free, he wandered the streets near the seaside, hoping to meet that young man, Jianzhi felt that he had lost something, Feel incredible!
Shen Jianzhi was on vacation that day and didn't have to work in the store.
Although he had a whole day and a lot to do, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about how kind his adoptive father Shen Wencong was to him when he was young, and how his second mother would try her best to provoke him after she came in. How can you bully your mother!
Thinking of Shen Jianmin, the demented brother who almost drowned to save himself!Thinking about the first passionate love with Mr. Chen Dongcheng that night!Thinking of Xia Qiulong's tricks of using alcohol to seduce, the Japanese old man's infatuation, and Wei Yongliang's boss's ruthlessness!
Thinking about all the joys and sorrows with Dr. Mao, thinking about Grandpa Mao’s optimism, thinking about his escaping from reality...In the quiet room, there are drawing papers and drawing boards scattered on the floor, and bookshelves The net is messy art books.
"Ah... ah... smothering me..."
Shen Jianzhi sighed boredly, and turned his head to look at the easel that he had forgotten for a long time in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In the past, painting always made him forget everything. The whole portrait was immersed in the joy of excitement, and the inspiration in his heart was like a flowing spring.But now the drawing paper on the easel has been there for at least seven days, but it is still not finished.
Shen Jianzhi felt that his painting ability seemed to be taken away from his body all of a sudden, even if he picked up the brush reluctantly, he still couldn't paint the feeling he wanted at all.
Sitting up from the bed, Jianzhi scratched his head and said to himself: "Is it really not working at all? Why am I always restless recently? Is it really because of that unknown boy? This is not like Shen Tian at all." Jianzhi's usual style, I, how could I be tempted by a young man? No way!"
He sighed softly and stood up, took the cigarette on the table and lit it, and walked to the French window while puffing, and finally stopped in front of the easel.There is an unfinished sketch on the easel, and it can be seen from the prototype that it is a portrait of a person.
The reason why Shen Jianzhi chose painting is simply because he liked graffiti since he was a child. As for whether he is talented or famous, he doesn't care at all.Therefore, he has always been in a very relaxed state of mind when painting, without feeling any special pressure, but this time the feeling is different.
He is really eager to draw the charming figure, just like a desert traveler must find the water source of the oasis. If he can't find it, he will have no peace.This is the first time he has encountered this restless eagerness, and it is also the first time that his creative desire has been so burning and impatient.
He could have created according to the impression in his memory, but after several attempts, he always failed. He couldn't grasp his charm, the transparent, refreshing, clean and elegant that caught his eyes as soon as he entered the store. However, no matter how many times he paints, he still cannot present it perfectly.
A self-deprecating bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shen Jianzhi's mouth!He was fascinated by the unknown strange guy.At this time, the sunlight outside the window gradually faded and turned into a hazy scene, as if God was reflecting his bad mood.
Shen Jianzhi turned around and walked to the table, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, took off the shirt and jeans on the wall, and put them on neatly. A strong, tall, healthy and strong young body was reflected in the cosmetic mirror beside him.After getting dressed, he went into the bathroom to freshen up, and finally put hairspray on his sleepy black hair, and everything was done.
The mirror in the bathroom reflected Shen Jianzhi's face, reminding him of the person who looked like him in that photo. What is the relationship between that person and the young man?This question has been circling in Shen Jianzhi's mind for a long time, but he actually cares about this kind of thing, Jianzhi feels very troubled.
"Cheer up! This is not like you at all! Shen Jianzhi!" He patted his cheeks vigorously, cheering himself up before leaving the bathroom.Throwing the crumpled blue backpack over his shoulder, he strode out.
Shen Jianzhi originally planned to visit the oil painting group exhibition in the art museum, but since it was still early, he decided to go to the beach to see the sea first.It was only after nine o'clock in the morning, and with the bad weather, there was no one on the beach.The gray-blue tide beat against the shore under the dark sky, giving off a sense of tragic desolation.Shen Jianzhi liked this feeling very much, but the usual bustling and sunny seaside did not arouse his interest.
However, the gradually falling raindrops interrupted his interest in watching the sea. He fled the sea in a hurry, but with the downpour of rain, he was drenched in a short while.Although he knew it might rain, he didn't bring an umbrella because of his laziness.
"Really! It's raining at this time." Shen Jianzhi grumbled harshly while running to the shop where he worked.Although the place he rented was not far away, the location of the store was closer to the sea, so he planned to go to the store to hide from the rain first.Since it was not time to open the store, he took the key hidden in the mailbox by the store manager to open the door without authorization.
As soon as he entered the store, Shen Jianzhi let out a heavy breath.He wiped off the water from his face, went to the bathroom, found a clean towel to dry his wet hair and clothes, and luckily found an umbrella in the locker.Since he had an umbrella, he didn't have to wait for the rain to stop. Shen Jianzhi thought to himself, he wanted to go back to his residence and change his clothes before going to the art museum.
After making up his mind, Shen Jianzhi propped up the umbrella he had found temporarily, pulled down the store door and locked it again.Throwing the key back into the mailbox, when he turned around and was about to leave, a figure running quickly with his head down bumped into him, the man almost fell, but luckily Shen Jianzhi caught him in time.
"Thank you..." Chen Chaodong blurted out the word "thank you", and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, it froze on his lips, and his apologetic face immediately turned hostile.
"It's you!" Shen Jianzhi didn't expect to meet him in this situation. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak, so he could only grab him excitedly.
"Let go! It hurts so much when you grab me!" Chaodong Chen struggled and roared.
As soon as Shen Jianzhi reminded him, he suddenly realized his gaffe, and quickly let go of his arm.
As soon as Chen Chaodong got his freedom, he turned his head and ran away without saying a word, without even looking at Shen Jianzhi.
"Wait a minute? Hey! Don't run!" Seeing him run away, Shen Jianzhi yelled and chased after him.However, Chen Chaodong not only did not stop, but even accelerated his pace.His obvious rejection didn't make Shen Jianzhi give up, but stepped up to catch up.After a while, Shen Jianzhi grabbed his arm again.
Chen Chaodong was sullen, and wanted to shake off the big hand that was entangled with him, but he was still firmly restrained after several struggles.In the end, he had no choice but to stand still in the rain, but as soon as he stood still, a big umbrella covered his head, blocking the rain for him.
"I don't know you, so I have nothing to say to you." Chen Chaodong said stiffly, ignoring Shen Jianzhi's kindness at all.
"The waiter you hate so much, you should be very impressed. How could you not know him?" Shen Jianzhi still had the surprise of meeting him suddenly in his heart. He didn't take his indifferent attitude at all, and he insisted on selling himself to him Acquaintance: "My surname is Shen and my name is Tian Jianzhi. I'm a second-year student in the Fine Arts Department of the evening department of a certain university. I usually work part-time in a store. You should know this. Then you..."
"You don't need to know!" Chen Chaodong rudely rejected Shen Jianzhi's inquiry.
Hearing the other party's answer, the smile on Shen Jianzhi's face disappeared immediately, and his brows frowned.
"Hey! You are really a motorcycle! You are really awkward!" Shen Jianzhi said a little angrily.
"I don't need to worry about whether I'm smart or not!" Chen Chaodong said angrily. "I want to go home now, if you don't let go, you are hindering your personal freedom."
"Hindering personal freedom?" Shen Jianzhi repeated his words in disbelief, and his tone became sharper. "I just want to know your name. Is your name so difficult to hear that you can't say it?"
"There is no such thing!"
"Then just say it!" Shen Jianzhi provoked him with words.
Chen Chaodong's cheeks were stained red with anger, and when he stared at Shen Jianzhi's eyes moist with tears, he reluctantly uttered three words:
"Chen, Chao, Dong."
Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Shen Jianzhi immediately felt soft-hearted, and only then noticed his wet and embarrassed appearance.
"You are soaked all over, let me take you home!" Shen Jianzhi said kindly, let go of his hand, and changed to a better way to hold an umbrella for him to protect him from the rain.
"No need!" Chen Chaodong refused, turned and ran into the rain.
At this time, a passing car splashed a large amount of water, and Shen Jianzhi instinctively chased him and pulled him to the inner side of the sidewalk to avoid being splashed with sewage.After taking the car away, Shen Jianzhi originally wanted to let go of the hand on his shoulder, but found that the body under the palm was shaking, so instead of letting him go, he took advantage of the trend to hug him even more.
The young man in front of him aroused his strong desire to protect, making him unable to leave him alone.
"It's going to be cold, right? Is your house heading forward? I'll see you off." Shen Jianzhi walked forward with a straight face, with firmness that could not be refused in his tone.
Chen Chaodong seemed to be aware of the change in his expression, so he gave up his futile resistance and let him walk forward quietly with his arms around his shoulders.The warm body temperature and kind touch gradually relaxed A Dong's guard.
After walking for a while, Ah Dong took the initiative to ask, "Why are you pestering me?"
Jianzhi smiled and was delighted that the relationship between the two had improved significantly.
"Because I'm hated by you for no reason, isn't it? I don't like this kind of unclear feeling the most, so I want to ask you to clarify. There is another reason, I want to ask you to be my model."
"Model?" A Dong raised his head in surprise and asked.
"Yes, a model. I'm an art student and I specialize in figure painting, so when I saw you for the first time, I really wanted to ask you to be my model, but you seem to hate me. So I have never had a chance to ask you. How about it, are you willing to be my model?" Shen Jianzhi quickly stated the situation and purpose.
Chen Chaodong listened quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised into a smile that was not a smile, and whispered softly: "So it's like this, it's just because of my face."
Shen Jianzhi didn't hear his words clearly, he lowered his head and asked, "What did you say?"
Chen Chaodong shook his head and said nothing more.
Although Shen Jianzhi could see that he had something on his mind, if he was forced to speak out, it would definitely destroy the current short-term peace, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The rain continued to fall, and Adong would open his mouth to give Jianzhi instructions when he was about to make a turn. Apart from that, he didn't even say a word.Jianzhi cooperated with him as much as possible and was careful not to let him get caught in the rain, but as Adong's house approached, Jianzhi's restlessness became more obvious.
After walking for about ten minutes, the two stopped in front of a red door.The red paint on the door was peeling off, making it look a little old; on both sides of the gate were two-foot-high concrete walls, so that people could not see the scene inside, only the thick and thick banyan tree with its dense branches sticking out of the wall.
Speaking of which, this place is not far from the place where Shen Jianzhi lives, but because it is surrounded by a wall, it is highly concealed. If it is not someone who knows it well, no one will know whether there is anyone living there.Therefore, Shen Jianzhi had been to the neighborhood for a while, and never thought that A Dong would live here.
After Chen Chaodong opened the door, he turned around and said, "Thank you for taking me back."
He nodded politely at Jianzhi, with the kind of social smile on his face for guests.Jianzhi originally thought that the relationship between the two had improved, but now he was alienated and ignored again, and he couldn't help feeling angry.
"You haven't answered me about the model." Jianzhi said in a rough voice, with a strong sense of reproach in his voice, and his persistent eyes were fixed on A Dong.
Chen Chaodong didn't expect that he would ask a question suddenly, and he showed a surprised expression for a while, but he quickly recovered his original calmness. "No! I can't promise."
After answering Jian Zhi's question, A Dong turned around and walked into the room, ready to close the door.But Jian Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand to pull the door, preventing Ah Dong from closing the door.
"Let go!" A Dong urged coldly, his eyes as black as deep pools glowing coldly.
Jianzhi suddenly felt as if he was dealing with a cruel and ruthless angel, with no chance of winning.But he just couldn't remove his hand from the door, because if A Dong was allowed to escape into this deep house compound this time, he might never have the chance to see him again.
"Promise to be my model." Jianzhi didn't understand why he begged him in such a pleading tone, why he was so stubborn in asking him to be a model, but Jianzhi just didn't want to leave under this situation.
A Dong avoids his gaze, his cold eyes are slightly shaken; but the words spit out from the beautiful lips are still blindly refusing: "I can't be your model, you'd better die Get this heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, A Dong made a gesture to close the door.He expected that Jian Zhi would let go at the very moment, if he was afraid of being caught by the door, and then he would be able to close the door smoothly, and drive this person who disturbed his peace out of life forever.
A Dong's force to close the door is very strong, but he hopes to close the door without hurting Jianzhi, but seeing that the door is about to close, Jianzhi still clings to the door tightly.A Dong couldn't help getting angry, and reprimanded through the door: "If you don't pull your hands, don't blame me for hurting you."
A Dong was sure that Jian Zhi could hear him, but Jian Zhi still insisted on not letting go; A Dong closed his eyes and closed the door cruelly.
"Oh!" Jianzhi groaned in pain.
Adong wanted to ignore Jianzhi's pain, but the hand pressed by the door was trembling, and there was pain in his eyes; after all, Adong was no match for Jianzhi's groan, and all his persistence disappeared in an instant. He slowly opened the door, which forced him to His firm face with nowhere to escape appeared in front of his eyes again.
"You really know how to pester people!" Ah Dong said with a sigh.
