Lin Yue did not continue to persuade, bid farewell to Ruan Wen and walked down the mountain road.
She grabbed her coat and watched him leave. For some reason, when Lin Yue made that presumptuous request, she didn't reject it too much. On the contrary, she felt a faint sense of guilt deep in her heart.
Is it because he has always been polite? Or...his voice is nice? Is his face very attractive? Behave and speak well?
Ruan Wen thought carefully for a while, but unfortunately there was no answer that could convince him.
There is no rush when dealing with women.
This was what Lin Yue warned himself when he came down the mountain. With the help of [Master Nai Killer LV2], he didn't believe that he couldn't defeat Ruan Wen.
Qindao's summers are cool and livable, while its winters are warm and humid. It is recognized as a city suitable for retirement in China.
After leaving Signal Mountain, Lin Yue went for a walk on the trestle. As evening approached, he found a nearby seafood restaurant, ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine, and sat at the window seat to drink by himself.
Nowadays, there are not so many ways to cook seafood. The portion is very generous, and the plate is two times bigger than the plate at the Jordan Road food stall.
After eating, he walked on the coastal road for a while, flagged down a taxi, and returned to the hotel he had booked before.
…
The next day.
After breakfast in the restaurant, he took the bus out and went to the nearest Xinhua Bookstore to buy some books about computers.
In 1998, there were not many books on computer science, and basic books such as C language, B language, and PS tutorials were relatively common.
It took him a long time to select a few books that were not very similar to what he remembered in his mind, paid at the counter, threw them into the system space, and headed to Signal Mountain again.
However, unlike yesterday, he did not go to the place where Ruan Wen was visiting.
I sat down in a small teahouse at the foot of the mountain and asked the boss to make a pot of Laoshan tea picked just before Ming Dynasty. I sipped it while holding a book in one hand and studying it carefully.
Not long after, a painter lady wearing a brown trench coat came from the entrance of the park.
Lin Yue put down the book, nodded to her, and continued reading without intending to communicate in depth.
Ruan Wen didn't think much and walked towards the top of the mountain.
Signal Hill is located in the middle of Shinan District, backed by the urban area, facing the sea in front, overlooking the trestle in the distance, and adjacent to Badaguan. Looking to the southeast, you can see a hint of black, called Xiaoqin Island.
Here you can see the sparks of the times caused by the collision of Chinese civilization and Western civilization. In the eyes of some people, it is naturally an impression painting.
From 1995 to 1998, Nguyen Van held two art exhibitions.
One is "It'll End In Tears" which made her famous, and the other is "AU REVOIR SEASONS" which established her status as a national treasure painter.
In these two art exhibitions, her paintings were mainly close-up scenes and figures, but after Luo Wen's memorial service, she plunged into the mountains and forests, and these days she has been dedicated to depicting the distant views in her heart.
The artist's works in different life periods are more or less different. Judging from Ruan Wen's itinerary in the mainland, his trip to Qindao will not end soon, and the Signal Mountain area, as the place where the city's colors collide most intensely, will definitely become A place she has visited frequently recently.
Near evening, when Ruan Wen came down from the top of the mountain, Lin Yue disappeared. Only the owner was left in the teahouse, listening to the play box boredly. Shan Tianfang was talking about the romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, about fast guns versus fast maces, Luo Cheng The battle with Qin Shubao left a lingering reverberation that lingered for a long time.
Ruan Wen smiled and left.
On the third day, near noon, the grandson of the teahouse owner came, demanding to eat candy cakes and giving the old man a good lesson.
Ruan Wen did not see Lin Yue and thought he had left. However, in the evening she came down from the mountain and saw two people, one large and one small, playing marbles in the open space below the teahouse. The younger one was the grandson of the teahouse owner, and the older one was Canada. Here comes Officer Lin.
When she was stunned, the man smiled at her and went back to playing marbles with the children without saying a word.
On the fourth day, he squatted by the grass to feed a stray cat.
On the fifth day, two fourteen-year-old girls chased him all over the mountain. Because they were looking for a way down the mountain, they followed his instructions and took a big circle and came back.
Day six.
The seventh day.
…
On the tenth day, Nguyen Van found that if he couldn't see him when going up or down the mountain, it felt like something was missing.
The twelfth day.
She did not go to Signal Hill, but came to the long embankment next to the trestle, listening to the sound of the waves and painting Xiaoqin Island in the distance, the boats between Xiaoqin Island and the trestle, the white gulls between the sky and the sea, and the tourists taking a look at the flowers. .
"Well...it's different from before."
The moment she started writing, a voice sounded from behind.
Ruan Wen looked back and saw Lin Yue wearing oil shoes and holding a blue bucket standing not far away, just within sight of his painting.
"You haven't left yet? I really admire your perseverance."
Lin Yue said: "There are so many delicious and fun things here, why should I rush back?"
Ruan Wen recalled the time when he stuck his butt out and played marbles with the grandson of the teahouse owner, and teased two female students who littered, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"By the way, what you just said is different from before."
"It's your painting."
"My painting?"
"Your previous paintings used heavy colors and strong shadows, which would have a strong impact on people's visual system at first glance. But now the feeling of your paintings has changed. It has become brighter and brighter. It is softer, the collision of colors is not so fierce, and the sense of layering and three-dimensionality are weaker than the previous paintings. Let me put it this way, if your previous paintings were of a European and American girl who dared to love, hate, and have a high morale, now Your paintings are of mature, graceful and reserved Asian beauties.”
Ruan Wen smiled, put the brush into the paint tray, looked at the plastic bucket and said, "What's in it?"
Lin Yue lifted it up: "Shells, starfish, and a few small crabs were all picked up when the tide went out just now."
Ruan Wen glanced at the child in front of him who was jumping around on the rocks with bare feet and picking up shells.
"How many did you pick up?"
"Enough for us to have a meal."
Ruan Wen smiled again and said nothing.
Lin Yue said: "I know there is a restaurant opposite that can help process seafood."
"Even if I eat your food, I won't go back to Vancouver with you."
"certainly."
Lin Yue said: "I never expected that I could buy you off with just one meal."
Ruan Wen was amused by him again: "You are really... honest."
"Let's go. I'll get your drawing board. If you're late, there won't be any seats."
Lin Yue walked toward the shore with a plastic bucket in one hand and a drawing board and tool box in the other.
Ruan Wen adjusted his scarf, tied up the hair that was hanging on his shoulders with a hair tie, and followed him to the other side of the road.
As expected, Lin Yue didn't mention a word about business matters.
Li Wen, Wu Xiuqing, He Weilan, Luo Wen... these names seemed to have never appeared in their conversations.
What was Lin Yue telling her?
A stray cat in Signal Hill had just given birth to a litter of kittens, and accidentally ate a large yellow croaker that the proprietress of a tea shop put in the back kitchen. The little chubby cat was ordered to chase the greedy cat, and the mother cat had to hold it in her mouth without opening her eyes. The little kitten was running around, so he stopped the little chubby boy playing marbles. He bought the little chubby boy a Transformers every time he lost, and the little chubby boy gave the mother cat a meal every time he lost.
So far, he has sent out a total of six Transformers, which can be combined into the God of War.
Ruan Wen said that he was like a child, full of strange ideas, not like a policeman at all.
After the two of them finished eating, Lin Yue sent her to the hotel where she was staying, and then returned to her place of stay.
On the thirteenth day, he didn't show up all day.
The same goes for the fourteenth day.
On the fifteenth day it rained all day.
On the sixteenth day, the sea breeze was strong, the waves beat hard against the rocks on the shore, and Xiaoqin Island in the distance disappeared into the thick fog.
On the seventeenth day, she still didn't see him. When the assistant appeared from behind, she turned around excitedly, but was disappointed.
She suddenly discovered that deep down in her heart, she seemed to be thinking more about and looking forward to Officer Lin, whom she had only met a few times and had one meal with.
He has not shown up for several days. Counting the days, it has been seventeen days since the two met for the first time. Thinking about it... he should have returned to Canada.
