The Romance of a Young Painter

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Guangji sent people to the downstairs of the school dormitory. The students who studied for self-study in the morning had already arrived at the school. Many people saw this outstanding painter, and those who knew him guessed the topic character of Wen ([-]) class Has Zhou Nianjiu changed his mind again and is planning to return to the road of art examination?

There are different opinions from the outside world, but Zhou Nianjiu is not affected. After returning to school this time, the relationship between him and Meng Xing has dropped to a freezing point. The main reason is that Meng Xing unilaterally ignores others. , Zhou Nianjiu moved up two places to rank second in the grade, only one point behind No.1 Meng Xing.The students in Wen ([-]) class finally realized that this former special student is not only amazingly talented in painting, but also has outstanding strength in studies. one of the mountains.Just like when Hua Hua won the award, Zhou Nianjiu didn't care about these empty rankings. Only he knew the true strength, so he didn't relax the rhythm of review, and proceeded in an orderly manner as Wen Juan had planned for him before. .

Zhou Nianjiu hasn't been home since the beginning of this semester, but on the second weekend of December, for the first time ever, he asked Wenmingyuan to wait for him at home.He received an email from Jin Bao a few days ago, which mentioned that the other party's birthday was coming soon. He was thinking about preparing a birthday gift for this friend, so he came back to ask Wen Wenyuan for any suggestions.

"You mean the one who came to the house last time?" Wen Wenyuan remembered clearly that when eating that day, it was Jin Bao who ate the most and the most delicious food, so he said with a smile, "In my opinion, you can either buy him food, or Buy him some materials for making Chinese food, many things can’t be bought abroad, he will definitely like it when he sees it.”

"No, Jin Bao said that he is losing weight, and that he will be as thin as a lightning bolt when we meet next time," Zhou Nianjiu said, "Speaking of which, I really don't know what he likes except this."

This is the second time for Zhou Nianjiu to prepare a gift for a friend. The last time was the small pendant for Shen Guangji. Unlike Jin Bao who knew nothing about Jin Bao's hobbies, he found that the two of them are very similar in terms of hobbies during the short time with Shen Guangji. When he saw the bamboo carving, he had an intuition that the other party would like it, so he bought it without hesitation. When the other party received the gift, he could clearly feel that his judgment was not wrong.But Jin Bao's side is more troublesome. He didn't pay special attention to Jin Bao before, and most of the time it was the kind Jin Bao who accommodated him.

Wen Wenyuan said: "Gifts are more important than what you give them. If you don't know what he likes, then give him what you like."

Zhou Nianjiu looked around the room, and said distressedly: "No, the things I like are all given to me by my father and brother, and they cannot be transferred."

Seeing his son cherish the things he gave so much, Wen Wenyuan felt warm, and reminded: "Actually, you have something you like, which is unique to you. It is impossible for anyone else to give the same thing."

Zhou Nianjiu quickly understood what Wenmingyuan meant, and said, "Yes, I can give him a painting."

Wen Wenyuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, your paintings are unique, I believe your friends will like them."

"Well, I hope so." Zhou Nianjiu said.Except for giving paintings to family members when he was very young, he has never done such a thing since then, because he has no other objects to send paintings to.

Looking through the previous paintings, Zhou Nianjiu couldn't find anything he was satisfied with. Finally, he decided to draw a new sketch. The material was a group photo of the two of them at home a few months ago.After several months of continuous practice, his portraits have made great breakthroughs. When he was painting Jin Bao, the young man with a soft heart and a hint of childishness appeared vividly. With a naive smile, next to him is a young man who is also smiling, but his expression is a little unnatural, as if his facial muscles are stiff because of taking pictures. Not dull, the characters are alive, and the friendship is also alive.

After the painting was finished, Zhou Nianjiu put the painting in a roll and asked Wenming Yuan to help him express it. He was not 100% satisfied with the painting, but he tried his best to do his best.He has always accepted every imprint in the process of growing up calmly, even if this imprint is not perfect, and he has no intention of cherishing himself.

A few days later, Zhou Nianjiu received an overseas video call from Jin Bao. Little Fatty, to be precise, he can no longer be called Little Fatty. No matter how valuable the painting was, he would not sell it, envious of those collectors.

Zhou Nianjiu saw that he was much more cheerful than before, and asked, "Are you still used to living there? Did something good happen?"

Jin Bao let out a "huh" and said, "I don't seem to have said anything to you. Forget it. Actually, it's nothing to say. There are two good news——First, I lost [-] catties in the past four months, and I still gained weight." Five centimeters taller, and then, I have a girlfriend."

Zhou Nianjiu didn't expect the shy Jin Bao to start dating in a foreign country. After congratulating her, she asked curiously, "How do you know each other?"

Jinbao said: "Her name is Meizhiliu, she is a Japanese girl. When I entered the language class, I happened to sit next to her. She heard that I was losing weight, so she made a fat-reducing bento for me every day. Because of her support, I can This weight loss did not give up halfway. I have never seen such a gentle and considerate girl. Compared with her, those female classmates in China are simply fierce female men..."

He talked endlessly about his girlfriend, Jinbao Balabala. After he praised his girlfriend's advantages, he made it clear that he fell in love with each other not because of the gentleness of Bento Box and Meizhiliu, but because Meizhiliu is Meizhiliu.

Zhou Nianjiu listened patiently. He had always had the idea that delicious food was the right way to capture Jinbao. Choose wisely without interrupting Campbell's words.

The joy and satisfaction in Jin Bao's tone made Zhou Nianjiu wonder if this is the power of love?

After chatting with his girlfriend for a long time, Jin Bao realized that he had been talking all the time, so he asked Zhou Nianjiu's recent situation: "How about you? How is the new class and new dormitory? Have you met any new friends?"

Zhou Nianjiu replied: "That's it. I don't have any new friends, but I know a few people in the class."

Jin Bao smiled and said, "This is a big breakthrough. Is there any special relationship?"

Zhou Nianjiu automatically ignored those girls who offered to show affection to him, and said: "Is there any one who is particularly good, but there is one who has a particularly bad relationship now."

Jin Bao asked, "Who is it?"

Zhou Nianjiu said, "Meng Xing, you've seen it before."

Jin Bao said: "It's him? Didn't he help you back then? How did you offend him?"

Zhou Nianjiu didn't intend to expose Meng Xing's family's privacy, even if the other party was his friend, so he said concisely: "I should have said something wrong."

Jin Bao said clearly: "It's understandable, sometimes the words you say with your mouth are quite annoying."

This is a fact, Zhou Nianjiu cannot deny it.

"But as long as he gets to know you well, he will know that you have no malicious intentions. You have to take the initiative to give people a chance to get to know you." Jin Bao looked at the time and said, "It's already at this point, it should be quite late for you, are you The third party in high school didn't delay your review, did it?"

Zhou Nianjiu said: "There is still time to chat with friends."

Jin Bao was a little moved, and said: "Good friend, forever. By the way, I heard that your grades are very good now."

Zhou Nianjiu thought for a while and said, "It can be better."

Although Jin Bao, who is a hard-working student, escaped from the misery of his third year in high school, he still got angry because of Zhou Nianjiu's straightforward answer. He said angrily, "Sure enough, it's only three seconds better, can't you be more humble? Have you ever considered the feelings of a scumbag?" ?!"

"Ah, sorry." Zhou Nianjiu said.

Jin Bao felt powerless, and said: "You, I guess that's it. From now on, it's golden to keep silent, so that others won't discover your potential natural stupidity."

Zhou Nianjiu asked curiously: "What is natural stupidity?"

Jin Bao looked at him speechlessly, and finally broke out: "Ask Google, no, ask Du Niang! I won't tell you, it's a waste of my traffic, go learn from you, I'm going on a date with Meizhiliu! "

Zhou Nianjiu listened to the beeping sound of the hangup, and felt a little speechless: Jin Bao was not so hot-tempered before, so it turns out that love can really change a person.

After Christmas is New Year's Day. The first semester of the third year of high school is coming to an end. All the students are preparing for the final exam. The results this time are directly related to the number of recommended students for the next semester. Get a good score.Zhou Nianjiu took these things lightly, he already had his own goal, which was B University recommended by Wen Juan and him before, all he needed to do was to maintain the current state until the college entrance examination was over.

After the exam, the rankings were released, and Zhou Nianjiu ranked first in the grade for the first time, tied with Meng Xing. The one who was most satisfied with this result was the class teacher of Wen ([-]), not only because of the good grades of the students in the class, but mainly because of Meng Xing.She took Meng Xing from the first year of high school, and she quickly noticed this unique student in the class. Meng Xing was indeed excellent, but he was withdrawn. She was once worried that this good student would grow up.In the third year of high school, a controversial Zhou Nianjiu appeared in the middle of the class. She saw that Meng Xing's attitude towards Zhou Nianjiu was different from that of other people, so she deliberately adjusted the seats of the two people together. Sure enough, Meng Xing's arrogance had thawed Signs, although he later put on the appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but she who has been paying attention to Meng Xing has been keenly aware that there are still some differences from before; on the other hand, Zhou Nianjiu, he did not have any grudges because of Meng Xing's indifference. , the attitude towards Meng Xing remained the same as before; as time went by, the situation between the two students began to ease--this kind of benign chemical reaction, as the head teacher, she is happy to see it come true, and she hopes that Meng Xing can further open up his defenses, So she intends to be a catalyst.

After the last class meeting, she intentionally left two of them behind and said, "Several key middle schools in S City have jointly organized a one-week elite winter camp, which is specially prepared for senior high school students. Each school will send the best students to Participate, Meng Xing, Zhou Nianjiu, our school has a total of five places, and the liberal arts side has given you two, please fill out the registration form first."

Zhou Nianjiu didn't hear Wen Juan mention this, so he asked, "What is the main purpose of this winter camp?"

The head teacher said: "This winter camp is closed, and the content of the training is different every year, and all the information is kept confidential before the camp opens. However, the teacher can guarantee that there is absolutely no problem with safety, and those who participate in the winter camp Students will gain in the end.”

Zhou Nianjiu asked again: "What about the time and place of the winter camp?"

The head teacher said: "The camp usually starts on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and the location is also kept secret. The meeting time and location will be sent to your mobile phones one day in advance."

At that time Wen Ju'an didn't know if there was any arrangement, Zhou Nianjiu hesitated.

Seeing that Meng Xing had already filled out the form and handed it over to the teacher, and signaled Zhou Nianjiu to make a decision quickly, Zhou Nianjiu suddenly thought of Jin Bao's sentence "You have to take the initiative to give people the chance to know you", maybe not only him, but also Meng Xing, he Need an opportunity to learn more about your preferred model.

"Teacher, do you have anything else to do?" Seeing that Zhou Nianjiu had also handed in the form, Meng Xing asked.

The teacher in charge smiled and said, "No more, you two keep your phones on and gather on time."
