poppies in the attic

5.

Seeing Wu Pengzhi sitting on the small leather chair cautiously, Xiang Jin waved her hand, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you are in the studio."

"Don't you draw?" Wu Pengzhi wondered.

"Don't worry about me, I will draw when I can. Do you want coffee?"

Xiang Jin walked away to make coffee.

"I don't drink it. Thank you." Wu Pengzhi didn't have the habit of drinking coffee at that time.

When Xiang Jin came back with a coffee cup, Wu Pengzhi was looking at the paintings on the wall.Sure enough, there were no people, it was all scenery.There are not even people used as backgrounds in the scenery.

It seems that Xiang Jin likes rain, and there are many rain scenes.

Wu Pengzhi didn't know how to paint, so he just looked at each painting one by one.After she finished the last picture, she turned around and found that Xiang Jin was standing there with a cup of coffee, observing her.

When Xiang Jin observes things, he likes to turn his face slightly, raise his chin slightly, lower his eyelids slightly, and narrow his eyes.

Wu Pengzhi thought of the word "contemptuous".

Once you realize that someone is watching you, it's almost impossible to be natural.Wu Pengzhi was at a loss again.

"You can bring your book next time. I don't need you to do anything special at the moment. Just do your own thing."

Xiang Jin sat on the drawing bench, picked up the drawing board, and started painting.There is only one pencil in hand.

Wu Pengzhi continued to walk around the studio, studying the painting tools, flipping through the books on the bookshelf, looking at the scenery outside the window, or sitting on the chair and biting his fingers.She saw Xiang Jin painting her from the corner of her eye, but she tried her best to pretend not to know.

The days that followed were extremely enjoyable for Wu Pengzhi.

Xiang Jin draws sketches and oil paintings.In short, I keep painting Wu Pengzhi, painting various parts, various expressions, and various dynamics.

Wu Pengzhi reads his homework and sometimes plays with Xiang Jin's laptop.At that time, notebooks were not yet popular. Wu Pengzhi had never used such a good Sony notebook, which was silver and connected to the Internet. She was so happy that she carried herself away.

It was during this period of time that Wu Pengzhi discovered that Xiang Jin's diligence was far beyond her imagination.

Wu Pengzhi originally thought that Xiang Jin was a pampered woman who slept until the afternoon before getting up and spending time leisurely in the attic.This idea is very wrong.

Xiang Jin was extremely focused when painting, and it lasted for a long time.It is a completely different state from Fang Ming.The results of the drawing are also very different.

Whenever Wu Pengzhi is around, Xiang Jin still draws.When Wu Peng comes next time, he will see many sketches of himself.Xiang Jin doesn't take pictures, she draws from memory.

Xiang Jin never asked Wu Pengzhi's evaluation of her paintings.It was only later that Wu Pengzhi found out that at that time, Xiang Jin hadn't officially started painting her at all.Those were just getting acquainted with her, just practicing.

In Wu Pengzhi's memory, this is a silent memory.

There was silence in the studio.Wu Pengzhi closed his eyes, as if he was waiting for something.She is a little dizzy, what is she waiting for?She felt thirsty and opened her lips.Suddenly she realized that she was waiting for a lip to approach, she was waiting for a kiss.

Wu Pengzhi opened her eyes suddenly, the light from the roof lamp hurt her eyes.She shielded her eyes with her arms, blocking the glare.She wakes up.She actually fell asleep on the sofa.Was it just a dream?Or a memory?

Wu Pengzhi drank the tomato juice in the glass and licked his lips.A little salty and a little sour.

Can't think about it anymore.The dream just now made Wu Pengzhi uneasy.Something that has been dormant for years is being revived.

Wu Pengzhi went straight to the bathroom.She needs a shower to wake herself up.

The bathrooms are large and very nicely decorated.But there is only a shower, no bathtub.Few big houses are designed like this, but Wu Pengzhi only takes showers.

While wiping his hair with a bath towel, Wu Pengzhi walked out of the bathroom with a naked body.Walking past the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the bedroom, Wu Pengzhi saw his own body and stopped.

"Does being naked make you feel uncomfortable?" Xiang Jin's voice.

Wu Pengzhi looked at himself in the mirror, the body of a 36-year-old woman.Is there any difference in your body from when you were 21?

Wu Pengzhi suddenly regretted it, why didn't he ask for the painting when he was 21 years old?There is also a mirror in the painting, in which there is Xiang Jin at the age of 35.
