The brilliance of the setting sun seemed a bit golden at this time, covering Li Shuyao and Liu Mengxi sitting by the river with a layer of golden glow. Jiang Quan was painting quickly beside him, and lines were formed on his canvas.
This is just a first draft, a simple record of this scene. To complete this painting, I am afraid it will take at least a week of repeated thinking.
His technique is not that strong, and maybe even in the end, the completion of this painting will not be as good as the works of those famous artists, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to record this moment.
Moreover, in his paintings, he would add himself next to Liu Mengxi, which is much more natural than in the P picture. However, without physical comparison, the depiction of light and shadow would require even more skills on his part.
Li Shuyao sat on the withered yellow mixed with dark green lawn and looked at the river. Next to him was Liu Mengxi who was also hugging his knees and looking at the sky.
Neither of them spoke, just feeling the evening breeze quietly.
It seemed that the wind was still a bit cold. Liu Mengxi hugged her knees tightly, but her eyes looking at the sky did not fluctuate. She seemed to be very happy about the coldness.
Naturally, Li Shuyao couldn't see Liu Mengxi's expression. She just continued to be immersed in her occasional emo. To be honest, she didn't know what she was thinking now.
Her thoughts were running wildly in another dimension like a wild horse. The picture she saw in her eyes was very still, but her thoughts were constantly emptying out.
She suddenly liked the feeling of relaxation at this moment.
No wonder when I was in school, some students always liked to stare out the window in a daze. It turns out that the feeling of being in a daze is really good.
But...she is not in a daze, she is cooperating with others to draw.
I don't know how long it took, maybe ten minutes, maybe half an hour. When I'm in a daze, I don't always control the time so accurately.
Li Shuyao heard some melodic sounds coming from her ears.
She turned her head, and at some point, Liu Mengxi had a small harmonica in her hand. She held the harmonica carefully, and a series of familiar melodies came from the harmonica.
Evening star…
That song that gave many people a good night's sleep.
Although it is played with a harmonica, there is less glass falling into the water, and the breeze collides with the ethereal spirit like wind chimes, but it adds a sense of obsession.
Different musical instruments will always have completely different emotional effects when played by different people and under different circumstances. For example, Liu Mengxi's Evening Star has an indescribable sense of reluctance and regret.
Li Shuyao turned his head and looked at Liu Mengxi with a piano case beside him.
Liu Mengxi was stunned for a moment and pointed to the piano case next to her. When she saw Li Shuyao smiling and nodding, he took out the violin from the piano case and handed it to Li Shuyao.
Li Shuyao tried the music and then slowly played the violin. A melody that was a little gentle, a little regretful, and a little reminiscence came out of the violin.
Coupled with the surging emotions in her heart at this moment, this melody added an indescribable feeling, which seemed to travel through time and space, returning to that carefree childhood.
Liu Mengxi also silently took out her harmonica and tried to follow along with Li Shuyao. Although it was the first time for her to hear this melody, she joined in little by little.
It's like arranging the music on the spot.
The ensemble stopped after a while, and Li Shuyao took a long breath and returned the violin to Liu Mengxi.
"Yao Yao, what's her name?" Liu Mengxi said a little excitedly.
"Hmm... With Light and Dust, I think I can recall a melody." Li Shuyao curled her lips, then smiled and said: "It should not have been released in this world."
"You are a true musical genius." Liu Mengxi sighed.
"You are the one." Li Shuyao smiled: "Your ensemble is very good."
After sitting by the river for about an hour, the sky gradually darkened. Li Shuyao and Liu Mengxi ran over to take a look at Jiang Quan's canvas.
Although it is not a finished painting yet, it already looks somewhat presentable.
The sky is golden red, and there are some light spots rippling on the river. Three people are sitting on the lawn by the river, two of them are playing, and one of them is listening.
Under the setting sun, the shadows of the three people stretched very long.
Li Shuyao smacked her lips. This couple was really the most artistic couple she had ever seen. Most people went on dates to eat, watch movies, and go shopping. But this couple came to the riverside to enjoy the scenery, and they were together alone. Violin, painting alone.
Good guy, is this the legendary soul mate?
Inexplicably, she felt that the person playing the violin in the painting was a huge light bulb. The young couple was here in Plato, so what are you doing living with them?
It’s obviously a movie about three people?
Gan!
However, after accompanying the young couple for a while, Li Shuyao's somewhat emo mood improved a lot.
People always have inexplicable little emo moments, often for no reason. It’s inexplicable at the beginning and also inexplicable at the end.
However, Li Shuyao still felt that these two people were like a white moonlight shining into her previously sad world.
There are very few people in this world who can accompany you in sorrow, let alone two strangers. Li Shuyao feels like she is communicating with art, which is very pure and not mixed with so many other things.
The highest value of art is pure heartbeat...
Is not it.
After adding them on WeChat and agreeing to see the scenery together next time, Li Shuyao drove away humming a song.
Watching Li Shuyao's car whizzing away, Liu Mengxi suddenly fell down on the lawn. Jiang Quan hurried over to help her up. She took a few quick breaths and then gradually calmed down.
"How's it going? It took too long to come out today." Jiang Quan looked at Liu Mengxi with concern.
"It doesn't matter..." Liu Mengxi took a deep breath: "Jiang Quan... I'm so happy today. Yaoyao is really a genius, and her melody is really intoxicating."
"Well... I'll take you back." Jiang Quan put another coat on Liu Mengxi and sat quietly next to her, waiting for her answer.
Not surprisingly, Liu Mengxi still shook his head hard: "I don't want to go back... This world is so beautiful. Look at the sky, the river, the tall buildings in the distance, the big trees swaying in the wind, no matter where the river is. No matter how much people have changed, the river will still flow and the sky will still become clear."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Mengxi closed her eyes gently, seeming to be listening to the melody that was far and near:
"Listen, the sound of wind, trees, water, cars, people... there are so many sounds, just like so many melodies."
"There are so many scenery in this world that I have not seen. I...I really want to see them."
"Well... I'll go see it with you." Jiang Quan pursed his lips and said.
"Jiang Quan, thank you... I know I shouldn't drag you to stay with me like this, but... I think it won't be too long, so just let me be a little willful." Liu Mengxi's mouth was filled with happiness. Guanghui held Jiang Quan's hand tightly with one hand.
Jiang Quan shook his head vigorously: "I am being willful... let us be willful together."
"Um……"
