Chapter 16
That afternoon, Li Xinghe sent the courier out.
In the evening, I called Ding Huishan.
"Mom, the courier has been sent to you, and it will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." He said while sipping instant noodles.
Ding Huishan's voice sounded a little tired, but she still sensed his voice, and blamed him: "Why are you eating instant noodles again, can't you go to the cafeteria or eat something good outside? The money I gave you is not enough."
Li Xinghe wiped his mouth casually: "I have to do my homework at night, the cafeteria is too far away, I don't want to go."
Ding Huishan wondered: "It's the first time I heard you talking about homework, and you still know how to study?"
Almost every time she called, Li Xinghe was either playing games or sleeping, and he had never seen him read a book.
Li Xinghe was a little embarrassed, and bluffed: "Of course I can study, it's just that it's just time for a break when you called. Don't talk about me, how is your side? That friend has finished the operation?"
"He just came out of the operating room not long ago." Ding Huishan was very quiet on the other side, "I am accompanying him in the ward."
Li Xinghe grinned, "Mom, your 'friend', isn't it your boyfriend?"
There was silence for a while, but he still admitted: "Xing Xing, you don't mind if I didn't tell you in advance?"
Ding Huishan knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she knew what she knew after asking him to get the tie today, but she still wanted to test his reaction.
Li Xinghe deliberately said: "I quite mind."
"Ah? You...you haven't seen him yet, or..." Ding Huishan's voice was a little flustered.
Li Xinghe interrupted her: "I mind if you didn't tell me immediately."
He pretended to be relaxed and said: "Mom, you should tell me more about your life, whether it's a strange blind date or a diamond boyfriend. I don't always stay at the age of three or five. If you want to drive one away, don't keep treating me like a child."
Ding Huishan was speechless, and her voice trembled when she spoke again.
"Okay, mom knows." She tried her best to hold back her sobs, "You have grown up, mom should treat you as an adult."
Li Xinghe heard that something was wrong with her, and was afraid that she would cry, so he said cheerfully: "Is that diamond boss uncle free on November, let me meet him, this time I promise not to stuff bugs in his shoes."
Ding Huishan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, covered her face and said, "Don't be silly. I know, I will tell him. His surname is Tao, you can call him Uncle Tao."
"Okay—Uncle Tao, Uncle Tao, I will practice ten times first, and I will definitely not be called Uncle Chengzuan."
Ding Huishan was finally amused by him, and after a few more words of advice, she reluctantly hung up the phone.
Li Xinghe exhaled, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
After chatting with Patrick in the afternoon, he was mentally prepared to fight a protracted battle. Maybe the process would not be very pleasant, but at least he had the courage to face it all.
He looked down at the linear algebra textbook in his hand.
There is another problem, which is this damn professional.
Since he had to confess to Ding Huishan, he couldn't make any mistakes in his studies, and at worst he would have to survive until he graduated.
Because only in that way, Ding Huishan might agree with him to change careers.
He has a total of 23 credits to take this semester, plus the three retakes. If he wants to ensure that he passes all of them, he will probably be very busy.
He decided to go to the library from now on, and not go back to the dormitory until the door was closed every day, because he would definitely play games with Cao Xu and the others when he went back.
In addition, he also saw that Patrick shared his fund investment experience on Weibo.
In other words, he started working on his own when he was a freshman, so only when he is financially independent can he have more confidence to communicate with his family.
In Li Xinghe's 20 years of life, he has never felt that his goals are so clear.
He slowly realized what he wanted to do and how to work hard to achieve it.
This feeling, to be honest, is not bad.
On Monday morning, he got up early.
Cao Xu and the others were still sleeping, so he carried his Grade [-] vocabulary book and went downstairs to recite.
Last year, I failed the fourth grade, but this year I have to pass it no matter what.
"abadon, abadon... give up, give up."
"ability, ability..."
A pack of tissues flew out of the window on the first floor, and the boy scolded angrily: "You memorized words early in the morning, you're insane!"
Li Xinghe covered his head with a vocabulary book, smashed the tissue back, and said arrogantly: "You are crazy because you sleep in the dormitory early in the morning!"
In order not to be sprayed on the campus wall, he had no choice but to go to the gate of the dormitory with the book in his hand.I read it until eighth in the morning, and then went to the classroom with a yawn.
In class, Qin Tao sent him a message: [A Xing, are you free this afternoon? I will take you to buy a Nikon. 】
Li Xinghe didn't see it until after class, he hesitated and replied: 【No time, why don't you go at eight o'clock in the evening? 】
Qin Tao: [Didn't you have no class in the second quarter in the afternoon?At eight o'clock in the evening, I will accompany my daughter-in-law. 】
Li Xinghe: [I am going to the library. 】
Qin Tao: [? 】
Qin Tao: 【Are you okay?Have you eaten too much plum? 】
Qin Tao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: 【Whether you want to go or not, don't wait when it expires. 】
After debating over and over again, Li Xinghe still decided to go. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to read a book for a while, and Nikon would not have this store after passing this village.
After the two met at the agreed shopping mall, Qin Tao looked at him like an alien, "Are you still my cousin, go to the library in broad daylight, have you been possessed by something?"
"Damn, you've learned materialism for nothing." Li Xinghe said, "What's wrong with studying, I love studying, can you control it?"
Qin Tao clicked his tongue and said, "It doesn't matter, and I don't dare to. I asked you to come out today, but there is actually one more thing I want to tell you."
Li Xinghe went up the escalator, "What's the matter? It's better not to be my sister-in-law and ask me to help her take pictures."
Qin Tao said: "It's about Patrick."
Li Xinghe immediately pricked up his ears.
"Didn't I say I wanted to get you an autograph last time? My friend asked him." Qin Tao spread his hands regretfully, "He refused to sign, saying that he didn't want to do these things. My friend said you like it." He has been there for five years, and he said that if you really like it, you can continue to like it, and if you don’t like it because you can’t get an autograph, you don’t have to force it.”
He thought that Li Xinghe would be angry and scold Patrick for not knowing what to do.
Who knew that his face was intoxicated, "Fuck, you are indeed my male god, even if you refuse, it is so cool."
Qin Tao: "..."
"You really like a person you've never met so much? He couldn't have tricked you." He said in disbelief.
Li Xinghe was very disdainful: "You don't understand."
Counting, every trough of his has Patrick's indirect participation.
In the third year of high school, I felt sad about myself and couldn't learn anything for a while.
It happened that Patrick went to Africa at that time, and during that time he photographed hungry refugees and barren wastelands.
Li Xinghe still remembers the eyes of each child.
Patrick didn't have any copywriting, just sent a lot of photos, and then automatically generated a donation message.
Li Xinghe sat under the electric fan in the classroom, the class was very quiet, the water dispenser was bubbling, and everyone was seriously watching the news broadcast on TV.
He suddenly felt that to be born in such a peaceful country, in such a family with enough food and clothing, was luck that many people could not even dream of.
Compared with these, what are his little emotions, and what is his unreasonable sentimentality.
It's just living too leisurely.
He kept flipping through those photos, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt hypocritical, and gradually he forgot why he was sad, and turned around and plunged into the sea of questions.
A similar situation happened again two days ago. Patrick did nothing, but gave him a lot of inspiration.
He thought it would be great if he could meet him in person one day.
What kind of person would he be?
Polite, yet distant?
Perhaps whenever he looked at the photo, there would be an unusual light in his eyes.
This is his imaginary patrick.
Qin Tao didn't understand his child's thoughts, and warned him: "If you buy a camera, don't be obsessed with it. Don't delay your business. You can't fail your exams this semester."
Li Xinghe turned his head, looked at him and said: "Brother, please do something, can you agree?"
"What's the matter, you say first." Qin Tao was very vigilant.
Li Xinghe said with a smile: "You have a wide range of opportunities, how about helping me find a part-time job?"
"Are you still working part-time? Is it because your aunt doesn't give you enough money, or do you have a boyfriend again?" Qin Tao said, "Don't be fooled!"
Li Xinghe said righteously, "I didn't have a boyfriend, I don't believe in love anymore. Didn't you just ask me why I like Patrick so much? It's because of him that I decided to live independently with my own hands."
Qin Tao's expression seemed to be looking at a mentally retarded: "Come on, don't make these excuses with me, I won't introduce part-time jobs to you randomly. And that Patrick, don't contact him on Weibo, I Listen to how you are becoming more and more like a fan of brains."
"You're an idiot! If you don't help me down, I'll find it myself." Li Xinghe turned and left in a fit of anger.
Like an old father, Qin Tao chatted endlessly with him: "Don't listen to my brother's advice, Internet celebrities who run Weibo accounts like this will send some brainwashing packages to their fans in all likelihood..."
"He's not an internet celebrity, and he didn't give me a brainwashing bag! You should hate him!"
Li Xinghe was so angry that his head was about to grow baggy. In the end, Qin Tao coaxed him to buy him a camera, and his face looked better.
In Qin Tao's eyes, he was still the milk doll who was wearing crotch pants and asked for candy. He was afraid that his younger brother would be deceived by gangsters if he didn't pay attention.Before going back to school, it was inevitable to warn him a few more words.
Li Xinghe ignored his words and ran into the library with his camera in his arms.
He is going to borrow a Nikon photography tutorial, as well as several photography books recommended by Patrick on Weibo last time.
Because he didn't dare to read such books in a fair manner before, he almost never set foot in the photography area.
After looking at the list for a long time, I found that this area is in a corner of the seventh floor.
He babbled and took the elevator to the seventh floor, then babbled all the way to the photography area.
The books given by Patrick are relatively unpopular, either in the bottom corner or at the top.
Even though he had to check Weibo, search on the computer, and search the various bookshelves, Li Xinghe didn't feel impatient at all.
"b32kk-0378, damn it, it's so tall."
He looked at the phone and found the last one, which was located at the top of the bookshelf, and the administrator usually put it up by stepping on a ladder.
He stretched out his arms and touched the edge with a little difficulty.
Just as he was about to take down the book, a slender hand crossed over his head and took the book down easily.
Li Xinghe turned his head and saw Zhao Qingbei standing behind him with several books in his arms, holding the one he wanted.
"Brother, what a coincidence." He smiled slightly, "Are you also looking for books?"
The distance between the bookshelves was not too far, and it was a bit crowded when two big boys stood together.
Zhao Qingbei put the book in his hand, and as his fingertips brushed over it, the faint woody fragrance wafted into Li Xinghe's nose.
"Yes, did you read these?" He looked at the book in Zhao Qingbei's arms and asked curiously.
Zhao Qingbei said: "The ones Bai Su wants are in the club office. If you want to see them, you can take them."
Li Xinghe shook his head, "No need, someone recommended a few books, I'll just read them."
The smile in Zhao Qingbei's eyes faded, and he asked casually, "Oh? Your friend recommended it?"
Li Xinghe smiled triumphantly: "No, it's the photographer I like. He often shares the books he read recently on Weibo. He has shared the few books you took, but these are the ones he's been reading recently. "
"Really, then you really like him." Zhao Qingbei said expressionlessly.
As soon as Li Xinghe talked about Patrick, he couldn't help talking more.
In front of others, he has a feeling of protecting his own treasured photographer, and he is always reluctant to share too much.But he felt that Zhao Qingbei was a person who would not "chase" the photographer, even if he knew Patrick, he would not rob him.
"I've liked him for more than five years. He's amazing. He's won many prestigious awards. He's also very nice." Li Xinghe said happily, "Not only is he a member of u, but he's also a permanent resident of a charity organization. And loving, just perfect!"
Zhao Qingbei looked at him and said coldly: "u is not difficult to get into, as for charitable organizations... Forget it, brother, don't easily like someone you have never met. In the online world, everyone has a mask. They I will only show you the side I want to show you."
What he said was exactly the same as Qin Tao, and Li Xinghe was upset, "I didn't give him money, why are you so old-fashioned, and you still say such things in what age."
Zhao Qingbei laughed angrily at him: "I'm old-fashioned?"
He put the book in his arms aside, turned his head and took a deep breath, as if he was controlling his emotions.
Li Xinghe didn't want to argue with Qin Tao, but wanted to persuade him.
Because he doesn't want Zhao Qingbei's heart, the person he likes is also a "net celebrity" in a shell.
He simply opened Patrick's Weibo with his mobile phone, found a few groups of photos he took recently, and posted them in front of Zhao Qingbei's eyes.
"Look, this is a work he took casually, and it's not for the competition." Li Xinghe said with his head held high, "This composition, this light and shadow, you tell me that he is trying to put on airs."
That photo is a rose bush under the moonlight, the light is just right, there is a wall behind, the petals fall on the ground, and the moonlight falls on the petals.
Like a shy and timid girl, like a quiet and deep funeral.
Anyone who looks at it for the first time will feel peace from the heart.
Zhao Qingbei didn't speak anymore, he froze in place, his silence was abnormal.
Li Xinghe saw that his eyes were straightened, and he was even more complacent, "Look dumbfounded, this is the charm of my male god! Just wait, I will find you a screenshot of his donation, it is definitely not fake, if it is fake, I will screw my head Come down and kick it for you!"
He quickly turned to the donation record again, and stretched it out in front of Zhao Qingbei, swaying back and forth.
"Now you believe it, there is such a perfect person! You don't believe it because you haven't seen it before." Li Xinghe was full of pride.
However, Zhao Qingbei just stared at his mobile phone firmly, there was no reaction on his face, as if he had petrified.
