Chapter 116 Midterm Exam

The ginkgo leaves flew down like light bird feathers. Huo Xiaonan immediately smiled when he saw Gu Qingxi.

"Student Gu, I'm so happy to see you!" He stepped forward: "Last time you stayed alone in the mountains, I was still worried that you found your lover later?"

"Hello, classmate Huo." Gu Qingxi smiled: "I'm very happy to see you again. It went smoothly at that time. I'll come back first, but my wife is back. Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your fruit knife, otherwise I'd be afraid of staying there alone."

Huo Xiaonan has been uneasy when he thinks of this incident these days. Now that he hears that Gu Qingxi is fine, he feels relieved.

He smiled and handed over a hard wallet: "Student Gu, this is the painting I drew. I thought about it and decided to give it to you and your lover. You can keep it as a souvenir."

Gu Qingxi took it over, opened it and saw that the drawing was unexpectedly good.

A male classmate like Huo Xiaonan has a delicate and gentle style, with rolling mountains and a vicissitudes of the Great Wall. Just next to the vast and ancient chassis, the tone between Xiao Shengtian and himself is quiet and soft. He is looking at the distance with a smile, with a bright black eyes shining, while he pursed his lips and smiled, and ink hair brushed across his cheeks, everything seemed warm and sweet.

"Student Gu, what do you think?" Huo Xiaonan was actually a little nervous. After all, this was his first time trying to draw like this.

Gu Qingxi raised his eyes and was quite moved: "Thank you, the painting is very good. This is the most beautiful painting I have ever seen."

The journey to the Great Wall was a promise he and her had made a long time ago.

This trip was a little unpleasant. When I think about it, I always feel that it is not that perfect. But now, looking at this painting, she realized that in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Shengtian and herself are like this. Even if she doesn't say anything, the affection and warmth flowing between her eyes was something she used to, but she didn't know it.

I will remember the little black lamp he picked for himself, which was sour and sweet, and I will also remember the impotence flowers dyed on my fingers. It was the impotence flowers that he still put in his pocket after running around all night, but after searching for him anxiously, I found them specially, and brought them back to her and wanted to dye her red nails.

When Huo Xiaonan heard this, he smiled shyly: "I should thank you. You let me try different styles and find a different self."

Gu Qingxi looked at the painting. In fact, she said that she could just copy it. She just needed to keep a souvenir. The painting itself should still be kept by others.

But now, she is reluctant to let it go. The copied painting has no soul, and she really likes this painting.

But after all, I owe someone a favor, so it’s hard to ask someone to draw such a painting for nothing. If I say I would definitely not want it, it would be a humiliation to them. After all, college students at this time were quite noble and aloof.

She thought about it and said in the end, "Thanks to you that day, otherwise I might be lost. Besides, you painted such a painting for us. Is it okay for me to invite you to dinner another day?"

Huo Xiaonan shook his head and smiled: "Then it's not necessary, don't be polite."

Gu Qingxi knew that he was a little embarrassed, so he asked casually: "Do you often climb mountains and draw?"

Huo Xiaonan: "It's not often. We have a club that regularly organizes weekends to go out to climb mountains and exercise. I like to draw, so I can draw it by the way."

Gu Qingxi: "This is pretty good. In fact, it's good to participate in a sports event like this and exercise."

Gu Qingxi had also seen some clubs in the school before and tried to participate, but she didn't like them. She thought that maybe she knew something later and felt that due to the ideological confinement of the past years, after opening up, it was a bit too much and even eroded by Western liberal thoughts. She didn't like it very much. Of course, this is a matter of personal concepts.

She just wants to study steadily and improve herself, and doesn't want to participate in anything in the next few years.

But now I heard that I want to participate in mountain climbing. I have always wanted to find a sports club, which is best for both physical and vision. Climbing can exercise your body and cultivate your sentiment and increase your knowledge. No matter how you think about it, it is good.

Besides, she has always been interested in painting, and it would be even better if she could draw with her.

When Huo Xiaonan mentioned this, he became interested and told her about the next plan to climb the mountain. He was very excited. Gu Qingxi listened to him that he definitely didn’t have time to go there often, but it was good to follow him occasionally.

As he was talking, he saw Xiao Shengtian coming over there.

He has been here very frequently recently. When it comes time for her to go home, he will come to pick her up and escort her back and forth, and be careful.

Huo Xiaonan looked over and said, it was cold. He was wearing a thin beige sweater, looking simple and noble, and said hurriedly: "Hello."

Xiao Shengtian had some impression of Huo Xiaonan. He remembered this incident. Gu Qingxi also mentioned the fruit knife and guessed it. He immediately said solemnly: "Thanks to Huo's help before, I can finally thank you in person today."

Huo Xiaonan felt more and more embarrassed: "It's nothing, it's really nothing."

After a few greetings, Xiao Shengtian originally wanted to invite Huo Xiaonan to dinner, but because Huo Xiaonan said that he had made an appointment with his classmates in the evening, it would be fine, so he pushed him to another day.

******************

For a moment, Huo Xiaonan left, Xiao Shengtian took the bag from her, took the hard clip, and walked out with her.

In the evening, the bluestone road was covered with ginkgo leaves, and it rustled when it stepped on it.

Gu Qingxi said what he said to Huo Xiaonan just now, and wanted to go climbing and exercise without any trouble, and also learn painting. Xiao Shengtian naturally supported him: "This is great, you can call your dormitory to go together. You are all working too hard to learn."

However, when he thought of Chen Zhao, he frowned slightly: "You can go out to play, but you must be careful. Never act alone. If I have time, I will accompany you. If I don't have time, you can't be alone with your roommate or other classmates."

As for Chen Zhao, he has already come to Chen Zhao.

Less nonsense, I beat you up first.

Chen Zhao was naturally no match for him, so he beat him hard. Later, Chen Zhao's cousin Chen Hao came over and gave up.

Chen Hao was so angry that he wanted to call the police, but it was useless to enter the police station. When he was fighting, he paid attention to his subordinates' qualities and was about to attack the key points, but Chen Zhao could not see any signs on the surface.

The two sides had a quarrel at the police station, but in the end the police station did not take it seriously - two big men fought and didn't even have any injuries. Who cares? How can you care about your own business?

After the fight, Xiao Shengtian began to investigate Chen Zhao's background, and this also made him feel strange.

Chen Zhao is different from before. With his cousin Chen Hao, he has gained a lot of skills. He has done a few business in the south of the country with unknown origin and made a lot of money inexplicably. This time, he came to the capital and found a backer very easily. He actually set up a construction company and has also taken on a project, a construction project of a branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, and is now working hard.

In fact, Chen Zhao suddenly changed his temperament and made a fortune. It was nothing. Some people took Chinese goods to Russia and used them to the United States as a scapegoat, and some people made foreign or Hong Kong goods to China to make a fortune. There were so many of them, but Chen Zhao's approach always showed something wrong. Moreover, he now opened a construction company, which was very similar to his own trajectory, which made Xiao Shengtian feel like he was trying to do something against him.

He immediately got two people and ran over to Chen Zhao as a labourer. He paid attention to the movements of Chen Zhao's construction site, and found another person to secretly monitor Chen Zhao's movements.

Since the other party is following him, he will do a counter-stalking.

Gu Qingxi naturally responded.

While the two of them were walking, the autumn wind blew and the coolness came to their faces. He held Gu Qingxi's hand: "It's cold, and a new cashmere sweater has been put on the department store. You should look good in your clothes. I will take you to buy it tomorrow."

Gu Qingxi nodded: "Okay, this one you are looking pretty good today."

As he said that, he looked at him sideways and had to say that he looked good in this beige and elegant, which actually hided the unruly youthful aura between his eyebrows, giving him a little more calm air.

Xiao Shengtian smiled: "I think this color is very similar to the scarf you knitted for me before."

Gu Qingxi thought about it and it seemed to be true: "You have been wearing that scarf last year, and it's a bit old. This year, if you have time, you will knit new ones for you, and if you don't have time, you can buy a new one."

Xiao Shengtian pursed his lips slightly, but said, "If you don't buy it, I like the one I used to be comfortable and warm."

In fact, he did not have the habit of wearing a scarf, because it was knitted by her. After wearing it, he got used to it, but he was only used to that one.

As they said that, the two of them had already walked to the lake and looked over from a distance. They happened to see Huo Xiaonan who had just walked to the other side of the lake.

Xiao Shengtian looked at Huo Xiaonan's back and was a little confused: "Did he give this clip to you?"

Gu Qingxi remembered the painting: "Well, it's a painting."

Xiao Shengtian: "Is it someone else who painted you?"

Gu Qingxi smiled: "Yes, I'm so beautiful when I painted it."

Xiao Shengtian raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

For him, someone else painted his wife, he was always a little depressed, but he didn't know how to draw, so he could only let it go.

But he soon thought: "Then I'll buy you a camera. I see that there are imported from Japan in the mall. If you go back to climb the mountain, we can take photos by ourselves."

But Gu Qingxi was not very interested. The one was quite expensive and heavy. It was inconvenient to go out to play and carry her back. She prefers this form of painting and said, "I still want to draw."

Xiao Shengtian was helpless: "It's okay, let it go."

Gu Qingxi naturally felt that his slightly sour depression was probably gone, and he felt like he opened the painting. He felt funny now, thinking that since he was sour, let him continue to be sour.

Xiao Shengtian looked at her and saw a smile between her eyebrows and eyes. He was a little gloating. He had a very painful tooth for a moment, but he didn't ask, but instead said helplessly: "By the way, something happened today, and I was laughed at by others."

Speaking of this, his voice was muffled.

Gu Qingxi: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Shengtian sighed, with thick eyebrows raised, and looked helpless: "Today, I started mixing cement on the construction site, and I also started to get my shoes and socks dirty. I didn't think much about it at the time, but then I took it off."

ah?

Gu Qingxi suddenly understood and looked at him with a funny look: "What about?"

Xiao Shengtian grinded his teeth and used some strength to pinch her wrist: "What do you think? A bricklayer saw it and shouted, "Mr. Xiao, why are you dyeing your nails red!"

Then, everyone came to watch the fun.

Gu Qingxi imagined Xiao Shengtian being watched, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Shengtian snorted: "You actually laugh at me."

He could already imagine how those people were talking about him privately.

Gu Qingxi laughed even more, and tears were about to come out.

Actually, I didn't think much at that time. I just thought that it was cold and he must have worn socks. I just wanted to tease him, but I didn't expect that he would be seen by someone else.

At this time, the campus will interpret the colorfulness to the extreme. Large areas of trees on the roadside, either yellow or red, or some mottled green remains. When the wind blows, the leaves fall down one after another, land under your feet, or hit the green lake water, like butterflies, which are so beautiful that they are beyond the square.

She smiled, and there was light in her eyes.

Xiao Shengtian was helpless for a moment, and when he raised his eyebrows, he also smiled.

He smiled and held her hand tightly, accompanying her along the road by the lake.

***************

After returning home, Gu Qingxi put the bag aside and put the hard clip aside.

The supper was quite sumptuous. After dinner, the two of them washed the dishes together. Gu Qingxi turned on the hard clip, sat by the window, turned on the floor lamp, and carefully observed: "I think the painting is good, but I think I can follow them to climb the mountain and learn by the way."

Xiao Shengtian was actually not interested in this, especially the portraits other men painted for her, and he was always a little embarrassed. He said, "That's good, but he still has to call you in your dormitory. Li Huijin and Feng Mingming in your dormitory, aren't you always having a good relationship with you? You can ask them to go with you and have a companion, so you can't be alone. Although I keep watching Chen Zhao, it's hard to say that I can keep watching. After all, he is a living person, so he can't limit his personal freedom."
