After getting back together with my ex, I became popular

In fact, volunteering in orphanages is not like what you usually see on TV. They need to accompany them to study and play games alone. In most cases, they just help the nursing staff to do some voluntary labor.

Because the kids are so young, if you form a bond with them and then disappear without a trace, you will give them the impression of being abandoned again.

Therefore, when we gather again, after everyone simply greets and distributes gifts, except for the families with long-term visiting habits who stay behind and follow the nurses to take them to play games hand in hand, the rest of the people are in groups of two, and do some Other things that indirectly help kids.

Some helped sort out the library, some helped prepare lunch and desserts, and Xu Chen and Ji Fei were assigned to help paint the walls of the newly opened game room.

Holding the paint bucket, Xu Chen looked at the completed sample drawing given to him by Dean Liu. To be honest, he was quite uncertain.

Because he is really not good at manipulative ability, to put it simply, he is handicapped.

Specifically, it can be reflected in the fact that he can’t change tires, can’t cook, and doesn’t know how to do anything related to handcrafts. Even the storyboards he has painstakingly studied are like ghosts, and only he can understand them. .

"What are you thinking?" Ji Fei came out from behind and stood in front of him, holding an apron in his hand and whispering, "Low your head."

Xu Chen lowered his head obediently, obediently asked Ji Fei to help him put on the apron, and said bitterly, "I was wondering if the things I drew would scare Dean Liu."

The straps on the apron were not too wide, Ji Fei bent his fingers and accidentally touched Xu Chen's ear, causing him to tilt his head slightly.

His gaze swept over Xu Chen's wrinkled nose, and he couldn't help but smile: "Then you will be in charge of painting, and give me the painting part?"

"You can even paint on walls?" Xu Chen's eyes widened.

During the period of contact after the reunion, he felt more and more that there seemed to be nothing that Ji Fei could not do.

"So shocked?" Ji Fei gently scratched Xu Chen's nose when he withdrew his hand, and then said, "I should be a little bit good at it. I learned to draw when I was a child."

In fact, when I was a child, I learned more than just painting.

Both Ji Songyuan and Gu Manqing are strong and high-minded people, so they naturally pay special attention to the cultivation of children.

As long as Ji Fei can remember, he has been sent to various interest classes to learn various specialties. When his peers can play in the yard, Ji Fei can only sit at home and separate it for him. In the small study, practice writing, painting, and piano... The schedule is full, and even every hour has a corresponding schedule, which will never change.

"...Oh." Xu Chen replied, a nerve deep in his brain twitched weakly.

As long as the two talked about their childhood, he would always feel inexplicably guilty, afraid that those memories that Ji Fei had forgotten would be inadvertently stirred up by some word, and come alive again from the dust.

It's also very ironic to say that he was the one who broke up with him back then, but now he is the one who desperately holds back and never mentions it.

Isn't this hypocritical?Xu Chen defined himself in his heart, but he didn't show it on the face, he shrugged and smiled: "Well, I'll be in charge of helping you."

"Painting walls with no technical content is more suitable for me."

Ji Fei smiled again, and then handed over a pair of gloves, "Put it on, and be careful not to get your hands on it."

The base map given by Dean Liu is actually very beautiful, it is the kind of romance with childlike fantasy——

In the dark blue sky with dots of starlight, the black and white piano keys undulate and extend upwards, like a ladder to the sky, or like a cloud floating in midair, the end becomes smaller and smaller, and finally turns into a wisp of smoke, sinking into the sky. In the full moon glowing with yellow light.

It is estimated that this wall painting activity has been going on for a while. In addition to most of the background color has been painted, the general outline of the painting on the wall has also been outlined, but the black and white squares on the keys are still empty.

However, this part is relatively simple, square and square does not require particularly superb skills, so it will be handed over to the volunteers who come to help.

Although Dean Liu said that meaning is enough, free play does not need to be particularly precise, but Xu Chen and Ji Fei still want to do their best as much as possible.The two of them took the paintbrush, researched where it would be better to start, and agreed on a rough plan, with one person in charge of framing and the other in charge of coloring.

Xu Chen also took two large hats folded from old newspapers from the shelf in a decent manner, and called it "more immersive".

As a result, there is a sense of substitution, and the first attempt to get started fails.

He didn't know how much to use. There was too much paint on the paintbrush. As soon as the first stroke was applied, the excess part immediately condensed together, and then flowed down one by one.

Xu Chen hissed, expressing his dissatisfaction with his masterpiece. When he was frowning and preparing to apply another layer of paint, there was a slight sound of a paintbrush being put down beside him.

Xu Chen:?

What's wrong.He wanted to turn around and ask.

In the next second, a wide and big palm came over.Ji Fei's low voice rang in his ears: "You are like this."

"Swipe horizontally first, then go down."

Xu Chen's gaze followed subconsciously.

When practicing in the archery gym before, Ji Fei also taught him this way, but at that time Xu Chen's whole attention was focused on the touch of his back and chest, and he didn't pay attention to other things.

Ji Fei's palms are dry and slightly cool, presumably because of the year-round fitness, there are some rough calluses from the root of the fingers to the palm of the hand.

Xu Chen was taken aback for a moment, feeling awkward for a moment.

In his opinion, the movement of the palms covering the backs of the hands, one side is strong and the other accepts, is quite an intimate gesture.But I don't know if it's because Ji Fei is used to staying abroad, for this level of contact, he always acts naturally.

Although, Xu who felt "unnatural" didn't think about breaking away or anything else, but just let the other party hold him until he evenly brushed the messy wall just now.

I have to say that painting walls is indeed a labor-intensive physical activity.

Xu Chen worked for a long time, and even ate his lunch in a hurry, so he managed to finish all the vacant background and other color blocks.

With the last stroke to fill the moon, he put down the flat brush stained with yellow paint, and turned his head to see that Ji Fei had come down from the ladder and was standing on the ground to paint the final part of the last key.

The lighting in the game room is very good, and before the curtains can be installed, the hazy afternoon sun comes in like this, like a thin layer of golden veil around Ji Fei's back.

His long eyelashes were covered, and his sleeves were folded to his arms, revealing smooth muscle lines and slightly stretched blue veins.With a few strokes of a fine brush on the wall, several ups and downs of piano keys are roughly formed.

Xu Chenguang looked very fulfilled, and the idea of ​​loving to play popped up, and he suddenly wanted to try it.But when he turned his head and saw a piece of "full pie" that he had filled, he put down the thought embarrassingly in his heart.

He got down from the ladder and walked to Ji Fei's side, like a leader of inspection work with his hands behind his back, stepped back a few steps to see the overall situation, took a few steps closer to see the details, and finally made a review speech: "Looking at your painting, I feel like painting It doesn't seem difficult."

Ji Fei glanced at Xu Chen, then turned his wrist slightly, handed the fine brush in Xu Chen's direction and asked, "Do you want to try?"

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was asking himself if he wanted to paint, and he waved his hand very self-consciously and said, "Forget it, I think about it, but I'm afraid that the whole wall will be destroyed once I get started. "

But that being said, it was really exciting.Xu Chen looked left and right, and finally squatted down in front of a piano key next to Ji Fei's feet. The moment he held the brush in his hand, he felt like he was floating.

Drawing on paper is terrible, walking unsteadily and thinking of taking off to draw on the wall, it really swells to the point where Japanese sumo wrestlers can't catch up with him.

What to draw... He frowned and pondered in his mind for a while, tried repeatedly on the pressed piano key, and finally put pen to paper, first wrote the word "big", and finally put it on Draw a circle for the head.

"Damn it." Xu Chen wanted to laugh and scold at the same time: "It's so ugly."

He turned his head and wanted to use white paint to destroy his childish masterpiece, which was comparable to a kindergarten student, but suddenly saw another villain appearing on the keyboard next door.

"One seems to be too little." Ji Fei also squatted down at some point and drew a small stick figure.

But this one is obviously more lively than Xu Chen's, with one leg raised up, it looks like he is about to jump over the keys next door.

This seems to reverse the whole style of painting.

Xu Chen looked back, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

"Then I'll draw another one. If it's not good enough, you'll be the one to take care of me."

Ji Fei said with a smile in his tone, "Yes."

After swaying the few artistic talents to his heart's content, Xu Chen contributed a few more sand sculptures of stick figures. Their bodies were twisted and crooked, and they didn't know whether they were going crazy or what they were doing, but there would always be another villain not far from them, Or sit or stand or run or jump, but always there.

"All right."

"Why don't you call me piano note people?" Xu Chen blinked, and he could talk to himself while looking at the paintings on the wall, "Play well with the children, maybe we will bring out a pianist in the future."

"What?" The voice was too low, Ji Fei couldn't hear it clearly.

"I'm dreaming."

Xu Chen put Ji Fei's shoulders on his shoulders, leaned over and laughed a few times, as if he also felt that he was unrealistic: "I was just thinking that there will be a great pianist in the future, and it will be us who enlightened him." This painting."

"Look. It's really a romantic dream to go up and up along the keys, and finally run into the moon."

After speaking, he raised his left hand without a glove, and moved his slender five fingers on the piano keys on the wall a few times, the movements were beautiful.

Ji Fei's ears were numb, his words touched his nerves again, and even his heart was more than half numb.He pursed his lips, but still couldn't help opening his mouth.

"Xu Chen." He said.

"Ok?"

"If there is a chance in the future." Ji Fei closed his eyes, looked elsewhere and said softly, "Come here often."

"Okay, you and I want to go together..."

—

The busy time with things to do always passed quickly, and by the time ten people got everything done and got together for dinner, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

In order to express his gratitude, Dean Liu specially prepared a table full of food and two dozen beers for them.We will continue to help tomorrow, and everyone knows that we can't drink too much, but sitting together to eat with ten people is not only boring, but also embarrassing.

Soon, someone couldn't sit still and suggested: "This is too boring, why don't we play some games to cheer up the fun, and just drink those two dozen beers as soon as we order."

This is obviously a good idea, and many people responded.

Xu Chen was also one of them, and asked, "Then what shall we play?"

There are only a few games that can be played at the dinner table. They have limited conditions at this time. They have no poker or dice. After thinking about it for a long time, the man slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Let's be honest."
