Chapter 23

When Lu Xiuyuan went downstairs the next day, he saw painting tools and a huge suitcase piled up at the door.

Qi Xi was walking towards the living room with his head down, holding an easel.

"These things?" Lu Xiuyuan looked puzzled.

Qi Xi stroked the fallen hair: "I will live here from now on."

Lu Xiuyuan moved the wheelchair forward a little: "Live here?"

"Well, I signed a contract with Uncle Chen, and he said that food and housing are included."

"When did this happen?"

Qi Xi turned around and leaned the drawing board on the easel, then took the cloth and pasted the drawing paper on it: "It was just yesterday."

When Qi Xi mentioned yesterday, Lu Xiuyuan stopped talking.One lip was tightly pressed, and it took a long time to let out a breath: "You have seen it all? You know it all?"

Qi Xi straightened up just after bending over, his gaze slowly followed his eyes, and he hummed.

Lu Xiuyuan's hands on his knees were clenched into fists: "Then are you pitying me? That's why you signed this bundled contract?"

Qi Xi didn't think for a moment, didn't even hesitate at all, he shook his head: "No, I voluntarily. I want to stay." Although there were only a few words, his tone was so solemn that Lu Xiuyuan was taken by this The click of a sentence is like a tiny finger pressing on the heart.He was thinking about what to say, so he looked at Qi Xi and asked, "What about your class?"

After Qi Xi said that sentence, he continued to busy tidying up. There were a lot of things and a little heavy. When he said this sentence, he was panting slightly: "It's okay, there are not many classes. It doesn't matter." After finishing speaking, he used his elbow Wiping off the sweat, "I stayed here on my own initiative, won't you be unhappy?"

Lu Xiuyuan didn't expect him to ask such a question. He forgot to speak for a while. He didn't know whether he was nervous or didn't want to say it. He paused for a long time, and couldn't help but scratched the back of his hand with his fingers. His white hand with visible blood vessels left a long line. Long red marks, then fleeting again.

Qi Xi thought that Lu Xiuyuan would not answer, so he pushed the suitcase aside, then went into the kitchen and took out the breakfast: "I've already eaten, I'll warm up the milk for you." Then he turned around and planned to go into the kitchen again .

Afterwards, Qi Xi forgot how he went out. He only knew that when he was about to enter the kitchen, there was the sound of a wheelchair moving behind him, and then the faint sound of food being cut by knives and forks, and then he heard Lu Xiuyuan say.

"happy."

There were only three words, spoken very softly and quickly, when he turned around and looked at Lu Xiuyuan in surprise, he was already eating breakfast, which gave him the illusion that he had heard it wrong.

He stayed in place for a long time, recalling the authenticity of that voice, although it was low, it seemed to be Lu Xiuyuan's voice.It wasn't until the microwave "ding" that he pulled out of his dazed thoughts, and put the milk in front of Lu Xiuyuan.

"I have class in the morning. I'll be there before lunch." Qi Xi said, Lu Xiuyuan was still eating breakfast slowly, and he nodded.

It was a sunny day when Qi Xi went out, spring had already arrived, the sun started to warm up, and gradually became dazzling, the swaying shadows began to take on warmth, and the road leading to the gate and the yard seemed to pass by without a trace Light herbaceous fragrance.

Happy, he recalled those three words, it was a little unreal, so unreal that his steps when he walked out the door were swaying, as if those three words that Lu Xiuyuan said were saying that I like you.

The circles of light smeared by the sun turned into large and small bubbles, which were easily pierced by these few words, and then turned into wind and blew Lu Xiuyuan's ears, making him tremble for no reason. one time.

Qi Xi listened to the class in the morning very seriously, and even Xiao Shi who was sitting next to him were surprised. Although Qi Xi was serious in class, he was not serious enough to concentrate on every minute and every second. , copied all the words on the teacher's blackboard, and put a five-pointed star on the key part.

When get out of class was over, Qi Xi put on his schoolbag with a smile on his face, but was stopped by Xiao Shi.

"Did you win the lottery?"

"No."

"then you……"

"Remember to watch my live broadcast in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, he didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly stepped over Xiao Shi's lap.

In order to save Qi Xi some time on his commute to and from class, Uncle Chen gave him a car. It was originally an expensive car at first glance, but after Qi Xi repeatedly pushed him away, he replaced it with a black rechargeable and extremely petite and cute car. scooter.

When he got home, Lu Xiuyuan was still in class, speaking English and communicating with the teacher on the other side of the video.Qi Xi didn't say hello for fear of disturbing him, so he went straight to the kitchen and got busy.

The lunch I cooked today was very rich, and Qi Xi cooked a little too much.When it was brought out, Lu Xiuyuan cast a puzzled look: "You do so much?"

Qi Xi was a little embarrassed: "Accidentally did too much."

Lu Xiuyuan didn't ask any more questions, and began to eat obediently.There was a lot of seafood in this meal, after Qi Xi peeled a few shrimps for Lu Xiuyuan, he sorted out the crab meat and put them all on the plate.Then he raised his hand to help him pick out the thorns from the fish.

"You don't have to help me, I can do it myself. You eat your own."

The serving chopsticks were still holding the fish, and they didn't put it or put it. In the end, they simply ignored Lu Xiuyuan's words and picked out the fish for him before eating their own meals.

After dinner, Qi Xi was busy with the live broadcast in the afternoon, during which time the housekeeping aunt came to tidy up.Lu Xiuyuan didn't read the book, and helped Qi Xi pour the paint into the paint box.He worked very carefully, and he didn't spill any, and the edges were all clean.

Get everything ready, and it's almost time for the live broadcast.Qi Xi opened ahead of time, thinking that there would be no one there, but as soon as he opened, the live broadcast room was over [-] in an instant, and Qi Xi was blocked once.

Lu Xiuyuan sat in front of the phone and watched the barrage.

Sitting in front of the easel, Qi Xi asked vaguely with a rubber band in his mouth, "What did the barrage say?"

陆修远看着满屏的啊啊啊啊啊啊好帅，皱了皱眉，抬头刚想回答他的问题，就愣住了。

The weather is warmer, the windows are open, and the wind and sun can break in without hindrance.The blown white gauze is filled with the vigor and fragrance of early spring.The slightly blocked sunlight spread softly on the floor.

Qi Xi was sitting in the light, and the projected light dropped his shadow to the ground. He lowered his head and bit the hair rope, his slender fingers wrapped around his hair. After a while, he opened his mouth slightly, and pulled the hair rope from the He took it out of his mouth, and twirled it around his hair twice along his fingertips.

When Qi Xi did these movements, he lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes were drawn very deeply, and the shadow of broken hair swayed slowly with the golden sunlight and the breeze.

"Lu Xiuyuan?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Qi Xi called out again.Only then did Lu Xiuyuan tear his gaze away and put it back in front of the phone.

"They say you're handsome." His cold voice sounded, and there was another barrage of bullets. Lu Xiuyuan saw the full screen and began to praise his voice again.There are still a lot of bullet screens asking if it is the muse that Qi Xi mentioned in the interview.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at these words, raised his hand and squeezed his earlobe, and didn't let go until it was hot.

"Superficial." Although it was a rant, he spoke with a strong smile, which led to the fact that it was a derogatory term, but it had another meaning in Qi Xi's mouth.

"Lu Xiuyuan, help me take a screenshot of the theme of the painting."

Because of these words, Screen gradually stopped his nympho behavior.Start to brush the theme like crazy.The speed was very fast, Lu Xiuyuan watched for a few seconds before taking a screenshot: "Four cuts were made"

Qi Xi has already put on the overalls: "The third one."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the third topic, then at Qi Xi, and said slowly, "It's a secret that cannot be told."

Qi Xi's hand holding the palette paused, and picked up one of the large paintbrushes in the next second. He only held it for a few minutes, and then began to brush on the drawing paper without saying a word. draw it.

The barrage was still scrolling non-stop, and there were occasional bad words, but Lu Xiuyuan didn't look at them.He put all his eyes on the person who painted the picture.

This is the first time that Lu Xiuyuan has seen Qi Xi draw. He doesn't like to laugh when he draws. The surrounding atmosphere will have a sense of volume, as if every trace of flowing air smells like paint.

He is completely immersed in the painting, soaked in the white paper and the smudged paint, every time he paints, every time he adjusts the color, every time the brush falls into the bucket, he is telling his immersion.Fortunately, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, so he doesn't look so serious.

Time is like a piece of cloth soaked in water, it slips away slowly, but leaves a wet trace.

Just like Qi Xi's painting now, slowly formed in the process of time passing, leaving behind a long series of indescribable vibrations, like a soft brush of a paintbrush, gently stroked up and down on his chest, making him In an instant, he fell into the wet trace of time.
