At this moment, Li Shi's mind was entirely focused on his current creation, and he didn't care about his bellyband.
But after all, he had some perseverance and made a quick judgment - he would return to Tanzhou tomorrow and should stay in Tanzhou for two days. There was a high probability that he would go to the South China Sea the day after tomorrow.
I typed quickly and replied: "No problem, it's all up to you."
Then he put down his cell phone, picked up his drawing book, and started to draw while observing the fair and delicate female model in front of him.
Half an hour later, Li Shi, who had finished the first piece of work, was not satisfied. He stepped forward and personally guided the girl into another pose, and then continued to draw the second piece.
In this painting, Li Shi tried to adhere closely to the basic definition of pure desire.
Half an hour later, when his brush outlined the details of the eyes, the image on the drawing suddenly became more vivid. She was seen kneeling on the wooden couch, holding the wool blanket with her left hand to cover her chest, with a simple and elegant face. Peach Blossom, with clear eyes, even a little pitiful, seems to be worried that the only covering on her body has fallen off.
But no matter how she covered it up, the snow-white skin of her knees and arms was always exposed, especially her collarbones and chest. The cold air stimulated her inner sense of shame.
Like the robbed boudoir lady in ancient times, she is hesitant and arouses pity.
Compared with the previous one, Li Shi felt that this painting was better.
"Poor Chu Chu, it seems like she unintentionally combined the ancient style of pure desire with the deer type of pure desire."
He pondered for a moment, repeatedly recalling the creative process he had just created, and then called up the learning panel to "take a look". Sure enough, the feeling of making a breakthrough seemed to have become stronger.
"It's almost increased from 20% to a breakthrough to 30%."
The entrance to study put Li Shi in a good mood, and his emotions were in full swing. He put down his brush and looked up at Ai Lan, who was already a little tired. He no longer suppressed the other impulse in his body that was about to come out. He walked over and stretched out his hand to the snow-white blanket.
While touching the bones, he helped her activate her Qi and blood.
Either soft or heavy.
"Have you finished the painting?"
Ailan's lotus-like arms hooked around her neck and she asked quietly.
Li Shi looked at her with a smile and said softly: "Don't worry, we have one night of creative time. Let's go to the bathroom to make hot water first to get rid of the cold."
Although the air conditioning was turned on in the room, it was winter after all, and there was no sister Aiya to take turns with her this time.
"Um."
Ailan fanned her long eyelashes and felt her body being lifted up by a huge force, her face suddenly felt a little hot.
Li Shi explained seriously: "After flushing the hot water, we have to continue creating. We will discuss the makeup and expression of the next painting while washing, so as to save time."
…
Aya didn't get up until almost noon like her sister Ailan. She got up early in the morning and was tired after another day of shopping, so she fell asleep early.
I slept soundly until about eight o'clock the next morning, when I woke up naturally.
Listening to the sound of water flowing slowly outside the window, she felt very good. Until she turned left and looked at the bed next to her, she found that her sister was not there. Her good mood suddenly stopped and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
You don't need to guess to know that the unfaithful sister must have sneaked next door to eat while she was asleep last night.
"Is that so good?"
Li Shi still only slept for three hours and woke up at 6:30. He boiled water and went to the balcony of the living room to make tea. Looking at the chair opposite, the scene of the last painting last night inevitably came to his mind, and he couldn't help but smile.
He got up and took a sketchbook from the house and opened it.
In the latest work, a woman wearing a long coat is leaning on a chair, with the zipper only one-fifth open. The scenery inside is so white and pure in the dark night, vaguely blending with the Tuojiang River behind her.
When painting this painting, he spent a lot of effort to keep Ai Lan from freezing, clearing her meridians and activating her qi and blood.
Back and forth, never stopping for a moment.
Li Shi read all four drawings he created last night, then closed them, took his notebook, took a sip of tea, and began to write a summary.
The summary only took about ten minutes to write.
He read for a while, and when it got a little brighter outside, he got up and went to the bedroom. He glanced at Ai Lan, who was still sleeping, and went out with the room card.
Take a walk along the river.
Li Shi discovered that the ancient city of Fenghuang was the most beautiful in the morning.
The water vapor on the river is thick, and the morning mist curls up. Occasionally, a cruise ship ripples faintly, forming a natural landscape painting with the stilted buildings on both sides of the river and the mountains in the distance. What made Li Shi stop was the woman who got up early to wash clothes by the river. The three of them A group of five people, chatting and chatting while making clothes, and occasionally laughing, gave him the illusion of being on the riverside of time.
After walking aimlessly for a while, the sun shone from the horizon, and the mist in the mountains and rivers suddenly became dreamy.
Li Shi randomly found a rice noodle shop on the roadside, walked in and ate first and ordered a bowl of beef noodles. After finishing talking, he walked for a while and saw someone selling sweet wine to make eggs, so he went and packed up two bowls. , and then walked back with it.
As soon as I walked to the hotel and before I went upstairs, my phone rang. It was Aiya sending a message in the WeChat group.
"The sun is shining on your butts, have you gotten up? You're going out for breakfast!"
He walked upstairs and knocked on their door first.
Waiting for Aiya to open the door, she handed over a bowl of still warm sweet wine and eggs: "I just bought it, you can try it first to fill your stomach."
Aya took it and asked in surprise: "Why did you get up so early? You didn't do anything last night...were you busy late?"
Li Shi was thick-skinned and ignored her teasing, which seemed to be a little resentful. He smiled and said: "I went to bed early last night and went to bed at three o'clock. I guess your sister will wake up later. Why don't we go to eat with her?" Breakfast? After eating, it’s time for us to leave Fenghuang and head to Tanzhou.”
At first, Aiya heard him say that she went to bed early, and thought she went to bed before twelve o'clock, but she didn't expect that it was actually three o'clock in the morning.
She rolled her eyes and thought, do you think going to bed at three in the morning means going to bed early?
At half past nine, the three of them checked out of the room, Li Shi drove, and Aiya sat behind her sister, who was still a little sleepy, and whispered.
"Sister, did you go to bed at three o'clock in the morning last night?"
Ailan yawned, leaned lazily on her sister, and said feebly: "That's right."
Aiya rolled her eyes, glanced at Li Shi in front of her, and asked her sister in her ear.
"Ah!" Ailan subconsciously rolled his eyes at her, then thought for a moment and said, "I can't count... it should be four."
"I don't mean painting."
"I know."
"Tsk!"
…
Li Shi set the map navigation not for Tanzhou, but for Shaosan Scenic Area. It was the only 5a scenic spot on the way back to Tanzhou. He had plenty of time and just went to visit it.
After getting on the highway, the two sisters fell asleep in the back seat one after another.
Li Shi drove the car easily and arrived at the Chetianjiang service area at around twelve o'clock. He woke up the two women who had slept for almost three hours. After a short rest, he ate something in the service area, then continued to set off and drove another Hours later, we got off the highway and finally arrived at the scenic spot before two o'clock.
This is the third time Li Shi has come to this scenic spot. The first time was when he first entered college, and he and his classmates in the same dormitory spent time on the weekend.
Later, her mother's surgery was successful. When she was hospitalized, Li Shi asked her where she wanted to go after she recovered. She said she didn't want to go anywhere. Li Shi persuaded her again and again before she mentioned this scenic spot. After she was discharged from the hospital, before returning to her hometown, Li Shi So I took her here.
This is now the third time. Along the way, he took many photos of the two sisters.
In the meantime, he received a message from Zhou Yajuan of Dejia Auction Company, telling him that everything was done.
The auction that Li Shi was paying attention to started at nine o'clock in the morning on January 15th. Today is January 12th. After he thanked Zhou Yajuan, he set a memo on his mobile phone.
After the visit ended at five o'clock, Li Shi took the sisters to a restaurant and tasted the famous Mao's Braised Pork.
The service level of this restaurant is average, but the braised food is really delicious, fat but not greasy, and very fragrant.
Eat and drink enough and continue on your way.
It was only over 70 kilometers from Shaosan to Phoenix Bay in Lushan District of Tanzhou. However, after getting off the expressway, there was a traffic jam at the intersection of West Second Ring Road and Yuelu Avenue. When we finally arrived home, it was also eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as they entered the community, the two sisters Ailan and Aiya, who were visiting for the first time, were also shocked by the luxury of the community. After entering the house, You Qi learned that Li Shi lived alone in a 400-square-meter flat floor with a river view. , are a bit stupefied.
After a brief tour of the room, Li Shi went to the study to sort out the sketches he had made along the way, while the two sisters took a shower in the guest bedroom suite where their luggage was stored.
There are four suites on the entire flat floor, the smallest of which has been converted into a study, and there are three remaining suites. Needless to say, the master bedroom has the best river view in Tanzhou, whether it is the bedroom or the bathroom. Although the other two suites are not as good as the master bedroom, they still have a good view of the river.
After taking a shower and wiping her body, Aiya looked at the bustling city with lights outside and sighed in a low voice: "I didn't expect Brother Shi to be so wealthy."
Ailan, who was drying her hair next to her, didn't hear clearly, so she turned off the hair dryer and asked, "What?"
Aiya turned to look at her sister in a bathrobe. She felt that she had become more feminine in just a few days. Just as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang outside.
The ringtone is the song "0321".
Ailan put down the hair dryer and said, "It's Teacher Bai's call."
Then he walked out.
Aya also followed out wrapped in a bath towel.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Ai Lan picked up the mobile phone on the desk, unplugged the charging cable, connected it, said something, and immediately felt that something was wrong with Teacher Bai.
"Mom, don't worry, Aiya and I will rush back right away!"
After saying a few words, Ailan hung up the phone, and without waiting for Aiya next to her to speak, she said hastily: "Dad is sick... The doctor said that the results of the preliminary examination were not very good, and further examinations will be carried out tomorrow. We have to go back immediately. That’s all.”
As he spoke, he changed his clothes in a panic.
"Hurry up and contact eldest brother. I'll go talk to Brother Shi."
Ai Lan put on her underwear and walked out with her coat. She came to the study and told Li Shi about the unexpected situation. After hearing this, Li Shi was stunned for two seconds and picked up the phone without saying a word. Just start looking for traffic information.
There were no flights on the high-speed rail, so he quickly asked: "If you go by plane, the way to your hometown is to Jieyang Chaoshan Airport, right?"
Ai Lan nodded: "Well, it only takes half an hour to take a taxi from the airport to my home."
Seeing her confirmation, Li Shi directly bought two business class tickets that took off from Tanzhou at 11 o'clock in the evening and went directly to Jieyang Chaoshan Airport in one and a half hours.
After paying the money, he gave the flight information, took a screenshot and posted it in the group, saying: "Hurry up and pack up, I will take you to the airport."
Twenty minutes later, he drove again to take the sisters Ailan and Aiya to Huanghua Airport.
On the way, Li Shi remembered that it was already early in the morning when they flew there, and asked again: "It's late at night when we get to Jieyang. Is it convenient to take a taxi?"
In the passenger seat, Aiya's eyes flickered from the phone screen and replied: "I have already told our elder brother that he will drive to the airport to pick us up."
Li Shi knew that they had an elder brother and said, "That's good."
Taking Trinity Avenue and the Airport Expressway, it was very fast without traffic jams. It only took more than half an hour, and we arrived at the airport parking lot safely before ten o'clock.
Then it was sent to the check-in desk.
Before leaving, Li Shi looked at the sisters who were not in a good mood, pondered for a moment, and said: "Before boarding the plane later and when you arrive in Jieyang, remember to report that you are safe. If you need help with anything, You can also talk to me."
Ai Lan bit her red lips, nodded, and then stepped forward to hug Li Shi hard.
Aiya next to her saw her sister hugging her, so she hugged her too.
…
More than an hour later, Li Shi drove from Trinity Avenue to the East Second Ring Road and received a message from Ai Lan on WeChat saying that they were boarding the plane.
He parked the car on the side of the road, took the phone off the holder, and replied.
Then he looked out the car window at the night-shrouded streets. The cars coming and going were very noisy.
Li Shi was silent for about ten seconds, then suddenly sighed softly.
Turn to my mother's WeChat and open her circle of friends.
The latest one was posted at seven o'clock in the evening. The content was a short video of a group of old sisters in their village, led by Li Qiaona, dancing in the village square.
To be honest, a group of young rural wives and old ladies were not very good at dancing, but Li Shi saw them dancing happily, and listening to the cheerful BGM, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
Twenty minutes later, we returned to Phoenix Bay.
I sat in the huge living room in a daze for a while, then went to the master bedroom bathroom to take a shower, changed into my pajamas, came to the living room again, turned on the TV, and started watching casually.
Tonight, he didn't want to study anymore.
Just watching TV like this until one o'clock in the morning, when he finally received the news that sisters Ailan and Aiya had arrived in Jieyang safely and had met their eldest brother, Li Shi turned off the boring TV, stretched his muscles and went back to the bedroom to rest.
The hustle and bustle of the city lasted all night, but the house was very quiet.
A dreamless night.
At around five o'clock the next morning, Li Shi woke up refreshed.
Looking out the window at the still-lit city, he began to think about his future breakthrough (mastery-).
"Current events are changing too fast. Sister Ailan definitely shouldn't disturb others for the time being. Then..."
