poppies in the attic

20.

"Mr. Wu, I've decided. I still don't want to waste my life commuting to and from work. This is not the life I dreamed of." Xiao Pan was late on Monday morning, and was late for a lot of time.

Therefore, Wu Pengzhi had already guessed the result.

Wu Pengzhi took out the envelope from the drawer expressionlessly, opened it, and said, "No one can persuade you to give up your dream life, you just try it yourself and you will know."

Then he glanced at the resignation letter, signed it, and said to Xiao Pan, "All right, good luck! Go to HR for handover."

Xiao Pan was a little uncomfortable with Wu Pengzhi's sudden indifference. The contrast between the retention in the last conversation and the indifference this time formed a stark contrast, which made Xiao Pan unhappy.She felt that it was the hypocrisy of these old people.She originally prepared a speech to show her unique personality to the boss, talk about young people's persistence in their dreams, and so on.Now it seems that there is no chance.

Wu Pengzhi watched Xiao Pan walk out of the office without any regrets in his heart.I used to think that youth is charm, and youth is wealth.

But as she grew older, her mind changed.She is a little tired of the childishness and arrogance of young people, and feels a little pitiful for their timidity and bewilderment; and she is a little disdainful of their beauty, because such beauty often has no connotation, so it lacks a little flavor and looks monotonous and boring.She knew that this meant that her heart was getting old, but she couldn't contain the disdain and boredom.

Maybe that's how Xiang Jin felt about herself back then?Otherwise, why do you say you are a green tomato?

"Come over for lunch, I have something to ask." Huayue's WeChat.

Wu Pengzhi shook his head, Huayue's enthusiasm was too high, and he was a little bit overwhelmed.She is not ready to share all her secrets with Hua Yue.

The two of them met at a Japanese restaurant near Huayue Company.

Before Wu Pengzhi sat down, Hua Yue took out her mobile phone and said, "I want to show you something."

Wu Pengzhi instinctively held down the mobile phone that Hua Yue handed over, and put it on the table, "Let's order first. I don't want to delay the pregnant woman's meal."

Hua Yue didn't insist, and looked at Wu Pengzhi with meaningful eyes.

Wu Pengzhi ignored Hua Yue's eyes and started to order.

When the waiter left, Hua Yue persistently picked up her mobile phone, refreshed the screen, and silently handed it to Wu Pengzhi.

With just one glance, Wu Pengzhi knew what Huayue was going to ask. "Yes, this is me."

"My God, what did I miss?! If I didn't recommend this modeling opportunity to you back then, the person in this painting should be me." Hua Yue punched Wu Peng.That regret is real.

Wu Pengzhi was not in the mood to joke with Huayue at all.She stared closely at the painting in front of her. After seeing this painting in the attic 15 years ago, Wu Pengzhi never saw it again, and she didn't want to see it again.She knew that when this painting left the attic, it would be signed with Fang Ming's name.As long as there is Fang Ming's signature, Wu Pengzhi doesn't want to read it anymore.From this point of view, she would never forgive Fang Ming's shamelessness for the rest of her life.

Now, Wu Pengzhi couldn't take her eyes off anymore. She stared at the painting for a long time like the first time. The difference was that this time her tears welled up in her eyes and she couldn't restrain herself.

Fifteen years ago, Wu Pengzhi seemed so naive and ignorant, she just exclaimed that Xiang Jin painted too skillfully, and painted herself so beautifully, and then she was complacent and carried away.

What I saw in front of me was not the original painting, but the shock far surpassed my reaction when I stood in front of the original painting 15 years ago.

The first instinct of the picture is the woman in the shower, but the second glance shakes this feeling.

The subject of the picture is a naked woman, with her left leg bent forward and pedaling on a countertop or something, her body leaning forward slightly against her left thigh.

The woman's back is facing the picture, but a subtle body turning forward makes people feel that she is not facing the viewer with her back, but at a half-side angle. The curvature of the back presents a very beautiful curve, There is also a subtle twist in the spine.Lifting the left leg that kicks forward breaks the symmetry of the buttocks, the right buttock follows the right leg that is standing straight, and has the round and perfect shape of the buttock itself, and the left buttock follows the left leg that is lifted forward, and the elongated muscle texture makes people feel Muscular elasticity and subtle movement.

Due to the sideways turn of the body, the small left breast was gently squeezed and overflowed by the legs and body, forming a shape that was ready to come out.

The back, the buttocks, the right leg, the looming left breast, and the texture of the skin are vividly expressed in the painting with clear and delicate brushwork. There is no feeling of a shower here, no water droplets, no water vapor, clean and transparent.

The head, the outstretched left leg and left foot, and the supporting arms and hands are all hidden behind the water curtain. There seems to be an invisible water wall. These parts of the body are covered with flesh-colored lines in silver-gray. The scenery behind the water curtain is blurred beautifully, and you can have unlimited imagination.The background of the whole picture is the color of water mist, and the scene cannot be seen, which makes people daydream.

Wu Pengzhi was amazed at why he didn't notice so many details 15 years ago. He only saw the beauty of the picture in his eyes, but he didn't think about Xiang Jin's thoughtfulness behind it.

Is this the vision brought to me by 15 years?Wu Pengzhi fully understood what Xiang Jin wanted to express.
