According to the plan, Li Shi stayed in Shanghai for two days, and then went to Jieyang to meet Ailan and Aiya, and as their friends, to visit their seriously ill father.
This matter has been agreed upon a long time ago.
Ailan was very happy when she heard that she was going to Jieyang before. She asked several times when she would arrive.
Li Seokwan quickly typed and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
After sending the message, it took a few minutes for Ailan's message to come back as the scenery outside the car window became more and more urban.
"Well, originally you said you came to us, and I was quite happy, but something happened at home yesterday that made me speechless... It's a long story. I'm not convenient right now. I'll tell you later in the evening, okay?"
What happened at home?
Various speculations suddenly emerged in Li Shi's mind.
As a literature lover, when he watches TV, he easily makes various associations based on the plot. At this time, he has already thought of seven or eight possibilities.
He reached out and clicked on the input box, calling up the input method: "Okay, then send me a message when it's convenient for you."
"Um."
Ten minutes later, the train stopped steadily at Hucheng Station.
Li Shi walked out of the car with a bag on one shoulder and found that a high-speed train was parked opposite. There were several advertisements printed on the car, including those for applying for credit cards and others selling liquor.
Follow the signs and follow the crowd toward the northwest exit.
Wu Yuan was waiting for him at the exit.
After the meeting, this woman whom she hadn't seen for a while ignored the crowds at the exit and went straight up to her in public, opening her hands and asking for a hug.
Li Shi smiled and hugged her with a little force.
Still so soft.
The crowd around them immediately cast their gazes. After seeing the appearance of the two people clearly, some of them with rich imaginations already showed "understanding" silly smiles——
Since Li Shi got the learning panel, his overall physical fitness has become stronger and stronger, but his skin is getting better and better, and he looks more tender than before. He looks like a young man in his twenties when he stands there. Wu Yuan's whole body exudes the aroma of ripeness, and she looks like a rich and career-rich person in her dress.
The hug between the two of them is very imaginative.
Some male compatriots even showed complex looks of disdain and envy.
The car Ms. Wu drove in Shanghai was a black Lincoln Navigator, a million-dollar SUV.
After getting in the car, she sat in the driver's seat and offered the red cherries she had prepared earlier to the co-pilot. Li Shi tasted several of them. They were sweet and delicious, which satisfied his craving.
When I came out of the station, I didn't go to Wu Yuan's residence first, but found a restaurant to fill my stomach.
The cherries are juicy and moisturize your lips when you eat them, but you don't feel full.
Instead of going to the first branch she opened in Shanghai, she chose a restaurant specializing in Hangzhou cuisine. After sitting down, Wu Yuan ordered a table of dishes according to Li Shi's taste and habits, including West Lake vinegar fish and Longjing shrimps. , Dongpo pork, fish head and tofu soup, etc.
While she was ordering, Li Shi went to the bathroom to wash his hands, came back and sat across from her, and then he took a good look at and admired Ms. Wu, whom he hadn't seen for almost a month.
The air-conditioning temperature in the store was relatively high. She had already taken off her coat, and was wearing a camel-colored elderly knitted bottoming shirt. It was a slim-fitting one, with a cinched waist and a bulging chest. The black hip-covering skirt she wore underneath, with black leggings added inside, gave her a very mature womanly look.
He seems to have lost some weight.
There was some uncertainty about getting dressed.
After ordering and waiting for the meal, the two of them talked about Wu Yuan opening a branch in Shanghai.
"When I did market research in the early stage, the results showed that the catering industry in Shanghai has long been saturated. If you only make decisions based on the research results, you shouldn't open a branch here, but I wanted to give it a try... I didn't expect it would be so popular. Welcome, now the turnover and gross profit of this store have exceeded any store in Tanzhou."
Li Shi listened to her talk and had nothing to do, so he picked up her hand and played with it.
These hands with pink crystal nails are white, tender, delicate, and beautiful.
"How are the preparations for the second branch going?"
"The store has been rented. In order to strive to open before the Chinese New Year, decoration and staff training are being urgently carried out. We have also transferred people from Tanzhou. I hope that it can become an instant hit again during the Chinese New Year."
Wu Yuan looked forward to it with some excitement.
Li Shi suddenly became interested in painting. He gently put down his jade hand and said with a smile, "It's definitely no problem... I'll draw a picture for you."
As he said that, he took out his drawing book from his backpack and took a paintbrush.
Time is limited, so I draw sketches.
A few minutes later, before the dishes were all served, Li Shi put down his pen.
After looking at it carefully, I feel that this sketch has a lot of feeling to it.
Now that my understanding of painting has reached a level of proficiency, my painting skills in all aspects are indeed better than before. You can tell from this sketch.
After finishing the painting in one breath, I felt like I was at ease with it and had it at my fingertips.
Handing the drawing to Wu Yuan, Li Shi thought to himself that so far, his accumulation of painting is the second deepest.
The first is Chinese.
However, Chinese is too profound and profound, and he has been excluded from the options of becoming a master, so painting is currently the first option.
Li Shi called up the learning panel and "looked" at it, thinking about the next step of learning.
Wu Yuan took the drawing and admired it happily for a while. When she saw that the waiter had almost served the dishes, she quickly took a few photos with her mobile phone, and then asked: "Teacher Li, can I post this drawing on WeChat Moments?"
Li Shi raised his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "This is just a sketch. When I get to the place later, I will draw another one..."
"Um!"
Li Shi rarely eats dishes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of West Lake vinegar fish cooked with grouper. He took a bite and found that the fish was tender and sweet and sour, with a little bit of crab flavor, which was quite delicious. .
The chef in this restaurant is very skilled. He tasted every dish on the table one by one. Every dish was delicious. No wonder Wu Yuan took her here for her first meal in Shanghai.
Some people may not be used to the sweet taste of many dishes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines, but Hangzhou cuisine is mainly salty with a slight sweetness, and Li Shi is a salty person who also eats sweet dishes. Within minutes, most of the food on the table went into his stomach.
When he was almost done eating, Li Shi slowed down.
When Wu Yuan was chatting, she talked about helping him find a model for life sketching who was forty to fifty years old and in excellent condition.
"Shitou, Shen Jie may need some time. I haven't found a suitable opportunity to talk to her yet."
That aspect of the learning task was not completed. For Li Shi now, it is equivalent to playing games. All the levels were completed with five stars, but one level only received four stars. He always felt that it was a little imperfect. .
So even though he had already cleared the level and was promoted to (Mastery), if he could complete this one star, he still wanted to do it.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't force it, there's no need to rush in this regard."
Li Shi said.
Anyway, the painting study has come to an end for the time being. I plan to try two or three more learning projects, and then choose one of them to become a master. Even if I finally decide to choose a painting project to become a master, I guess I will have to wait until the second half of next year.
There is plenty of time.
After eating, the two drove to Wu Yuan's residence in Shanghai.
The place she rented was near the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and it was only a 12-3 minute drive from her first branch in Shanghai.
It was a two-bedroom and one-living house. She lived with her assistant, but her assistant was away at the moment and went to supervise the renovation of the second branch.
Li Shi looked at the house and asked, "Then when will she come back from get off work?"
Wu Yuan lowered her head: "She said in the evening that she was going to meet her classmates who were studying in Shanghai and would not come back. She also asked me to take leave tomorrow morning."
Li Shi smiled and asked, "Really?"
Wu Yuan blushed rarely.
She has been working hard in the mall for many years, and has long been very thick-skinned. It is not easy to make her blush. It is estimated that the old employees who have worked with her for many years have never seen her blush.
Li Shi stopped teasing her, asked her to sit down, took out her drawing book, and started painting.
This time, he adopted a realistic style.
It took me seventeen or eight minutes to complete the painting.
For Li Shi, who lets go of his speed and paints, it is very time-consuming.
Put down the pen and look at the painting carefully.
In the painting, there is a beautiful woman with luxuriant hair, sitting relaxedly on a chair, crossing her legs, holding the strong strength in her chest with her hands, folding them on her thighs, looking straight ahead.
"alright."
As soon as Li Shi finished speaking, Wu Yuan, who was sitting on the chair opposite, walked over immediately.
At first, I thought she couldn't wait to see the paintings, but I didn't expect it to be the case. She came directly to meet people.
He came closer and squeezed his ripe body into Li Shi's arms.
Li Shi quickly closed the painting book and threw it aside, and put his arms behind her.
The black butt-covering skirt has a good texture, is soft, and fits well. His big hands can easily feel the plump peach through the relatively thick fabric.
In the past few months without seeing each other, she had dreamed of returning to Erhai Lake many times. Now the person in her dream was right in front of her. At thirty-three years old, she could still suppress the energy accumulated in her body.
Now she wants her dream to come true!
Li Shi experienced what it felt like to have the clothes he was wearing being torn apart by external forces.
very special.
He simply fell down on the sofa behind him. He had studied so hard some time ago and was tired.
Lie down flat.
…
The two returned to their residence at noon. Wu Yuan received a call from her assistant at 4:30 in the afternoon. There was an urgent matter in the hotel's decoration and she needed to go over and deal with it.
After the others left, Li Shi also got up and took a shower.
"Ms. Wu has to be busy opening the second branch before the Chinese New Year, so it's better not to affect her career too much."
He originally planned to stay in Shanghai for a few more days and walk around with Wu Yuan, but he changed his mind a bit.
After coming out of the bathroom and changing clothes, Li Shi took the key Wu Yuan left for him and went out.
After going out, I took a casual walk and came to a quiet road with plane trees planted on both sides.
Although it is late winter, the leaves on the trees have not yet fallen completely. There are a few withered yellow leaves hanging on each tree. In the already dim light, there is a sense of desolation.
This kind of desolation is different from the desolation I felt when I left the capital in the morning. The desolation in the morning has the unique vastness and vastness of the north, but the desolation in front of me is more likely to make people feel sad, sad and beautiful.
I went out for a walk empty-handed, without a drawing book.
Li Shi took out his mobile phone, selected a location, composed the picture and took two photos.
"This time I came to Shanghai, I discovered another side of the city. It was completely different from the previous two times."
After casually strolling for a while, I found that there were many music shops on the roadside. Occasionally, music came from inside. After listening to it, Li Shi felt that it seemed to be pretty good.
After walking around, his mood became better and better.
Just when he saw the marble sign at the entrance of the Conservatory of Music and was about to walk back in the other direction, Ailan sent a WeChat message: "Brother Shi, have you had dinner?"
Li Shi thought of her inexplicable message in the morning, and his curiosity came back. He typed quickly: "Not yet, I'm taking a walk outside. Is it easy for you to talk now?"
Ai Lan: "Convenience is convenient, but I can't talk about what happened at home. Let's talk through text. (I'm so worried)"
Um?
Li Shi's curiosity became even stronger and he asked, "That's fine, but what's going on?"
Ten minutes later, when Li Shi was about to reach the intersection of Xiangyang South Road, he couldn't help but stop when he saw the message from Ailan, stretched out his right index finger, and scratched his temple.
He thought about all kinds of things happening in Ailan Aiya's house, but he didn't expect it to be so bloody.
Because it was too outrageous, seven or eight of his previous guesses were wrong.
A man who was seriously ill and felt that his time was running out. He had always been a good father and husband at home. He suddenly confessed to everyone that he had an illegitimate child and wanted to leave all his inheritance after he left. To the bastard.
"Now my relatives on my grandma's side, as well as my eldest brother, Aya and I, no longer go to the hospital to see him."
"That is to say, Teacher Bai was going to go today, so I went with her, and I saw that woman sleeping with her."
Li Shi knew that the teacher Bai she was talking about was her and Aiya's mother.
"That woman" probably refers to the mother of her father's illegitimate child.
Looking at the messages on WeChat, he didn't know how to reply for a moment.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, sometimes real life is really worse than TV series.
He thought for a while and finally sent a few (hugging) emoticons.
Ai Lan: "Now I feel that my three views have been completely subverted, and I am very worried about Teacher Bai. She seemed too calm. Even when I saw the woman in the hospital, she didn't say anything. After returning home, I I'm locked in the bedroom and don't eat much, I'm afraid... something will go wrong."
Ai Lan: "Brother Shi, what do you think I should do?"
Li Shi raised his head and looked around. The lights were on. Under the neon lights, the original street seemed to have become psychedelic. Looking at the screen of his mobile phone again, he couldn't help but frown.
This question is really a bit over the top.
After a while, I typed back: "To be honest, I don't know what to do, but one thing is that during this period, it is best for you and Aiya to stay with your mother. After all, this is the right thing." She hit the hardest.”
After sending it, I thought about it and added: "Go and consult a lawyer."
My body is recovering and I will update more after I recover.
This month, I want to work harder.
