rotten redemption

Lin Chi stayed there for a while, and it was only after Qi Xing was embarrassed by the look that Lin Chi reacted, and carefully greeted Qi Xing and introduced himself, and asked Qi Xing to sit on a chair with his back facing the balcony.

When Lin Chi was preparing the painting materials, he chatted with Qi Xing in a soft voice, and he didn't know why, probably because Qi Xing spoke softly, probably because Qi Xing felt like Lin Chi Like crystal glass beads, they must be taken good care of, otherwise they will be broken accidentally.

Qi Xing's voice was very soft and clean, and his answer could not be concealed. Lin Chi probably understood that Qi Xing was two years younger than him. He is currently studying in graduate school and wants to stay in school to work in the future. He was born in a conservative and ordinary family. , there is no more, Lin Chi is afraid that asking too much will make Qi Xing uneasy.

After Lin Chi picked up the pen and began to take pictures, he calmed down, realizing that Lin Chi had entered his own world, Qi Xing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped talking.

While manipulating the pen in his hand, Lin Chi observed Qi Xing carefully.When he first saw Qi Xing, he would always put the Metz in his youth together with him, probably because both of them have a sense of alienation that strangers should not get close to.But the more he looked at Lin Chi, the more determined he became, and Qi Xing was not like Metz at all.Mei Si's alienation is formed by a cold temperament, but Qi Xing hides himself because of a kind of timidity, and seems to have an innate fear of the world.Qi Xing's face is not at all as fierce as Mace's, but warm and moist. His eyes are leisurely exploring the outside world. His skin is almost morbidly fair. In contrast, Lin Chi always feels that the pink mouth looks so small. □□.

He has a sickly beauty to the extreme, a kind of contradiction condenses in Lin Chi's heart, maybe only he thinks so, he wants to brutally destroy this beauty, but he also wants to care for this beauty carefully and gently, Because this kind of beauty will break when touched.

But it cannot be denied that this is a male face and a male body.Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is still a few traces of intimidating heroic spirit, and the outline is also clear as a man.Qi Xing is actually not short, but the other two of the three major school grasses are too tall. Lin Chi estimated that Qi Xing should be 1.8 meters rounded.But Qi Xing, like Lin Chi, is too thin.Lin Chi felt that it was time for him to gain some muscle and exercise his body (later Metz knew that Lin Chi's health problem, which he had been worrying about for so long, was solved just because Lin Chi fell in love with someone else, it was really dumbfounding).

Lin Chi was engrossed in painting, and Qi Xing didn't want to disturb him, so he continued until Metz came back.

The world of the two was suddenly interrupted by Metz, Lin Chi was not unhappy, but said in a good mood after a long absence, "Are you back?"

Mace responded, then nodded to Qi Xing, and Qi Xing smiled back.

Then Lin Chi stood up and began to pack his paintbrushes. Qi Xing said apologetically, "I let you sit for so long." Qi Xing shook his head, and Lin Chi was about to speak again, but Metz preempted him.

"Let's stay and have dinner together." Mace glanced at Lin Chi, and Lin Chi returned an admiring look of "brother, you understand me".Qi Xing shook his head and said that he had an appointment with someone, as if he was really sorry.

Qi walked away, Metz also went to the kitchen, Lin Chi was alone in the living room, and hadn't recovered from Qi Xing's face.

During the meal, Lin Chi wanted to inquire about Qi Xing from Mace, but he was afraid that Mace would see his thoughts, as Mace could always see it.So when he really opened his mouth, more than half of the meal had already been eaten.

"You three really didn't do it." Lin Chi smacked his mouth full of shrimp.

"Hmm." Mace probably didn't think this topic was interesting.

"His dated girlfriend?"

Mace looked up at him, "No, it's someone he likes." He put a few vegetables into Lin Chi's bowl, and Lin Chi only knew how to eat meat.

"That girl is pretty?"

Mace considered it for a while, and then said: "He likes a man, a straight man." He sighed, as if he was talking about his own rather than someone else's.

Lin Chi couldn't pretend anymore, he was surprised and asked eagerly: "Is that guy good-looking?"

"Not as good as you."

Lin Chi felt more at ease now.

"Then you still like him?"

"Living someone is not based on appearance." Metz finished eating, "Qi Xing has liked that person for seven years."

"My God, can't that man see it?"

Someone has liked you for nine years and you still haven't seen it. "I see."

"Then why don't you respond?"

"Yes, he has played Qi Xing for six years."

"...is that 'play' I thought?"

"...It's just what you think, just playing with Qi Xing as a sex toy until now." Metz glanced at Lin Chi who was frowning, "We outsiders should not meddle in other people's affairs."

"But walking together like this is painful, isn't it?"

"Who knows, maybe as long as you can be with the person you like, having fun while suffering is also a kind of satisfaction."

-

Metz's words strengthened Lin Chi's heart towards Qi Xing, and he was bound to rescue Qi Xing from this fruitless relationship.Lin Chi is really a person with a strong ability to accept, he bent when he said it, and didn't think there was anything wrong.He thought he just liked Qi Xing.

Qi Xing comes every Wednesday, and Lin Chi can't wait. On the days when Qi Xing can't come, he walks around Metz's house, even if he can't play games, he takes advantage of Metz's work and doesn't use the gym , went in for a wave of exercise, and the food has always been good after living in Metz's house, Lin Chi finally has some flesh on his body.

When the painting was completed, it was one and a half months later. Lin Chi was very satisfied. He thought it was the best painting since his graduation work "Praise of Life" three years ago.But the end this time is no happier than any time in the past three years, he has no chance to meet together.

To be precise, Lin Chi didn't finish painting when Qi Xing was there that Wednesday, but Lin Chi was fascinated by the painting, and he kept painting and painting. He didn't hear Mace calling him to eat several times, but it was almost at night It was finished at twelve o'clock.At that time, Lin Chi threw the paintbrush casually, and the painting was placed on the easel, and he fell asleep on the sofa casually.

Maybe it was because he was subconsciously worried about Lin Chi. Mace woke up in the middle of the night, and when he went downstairs, he saw Lin Chi lying on the sofa with almost half of his body hanging in the air. Put it on the bed, turn on the air conditioner, and cover it with a quilt.Then he went downstairs again to see Lin Chi's masterpiece.

This was the second time he had seen Lin Chi's painting since the graduation exhibition three years ago, and this one caught Metz's eyes.It still clearly has the style of Lin Chi, but it is quite different from the previous one.

This picture is a bit like Klimt. The main body of the picture——Qi Xing is slightly realistic, but the background is illusory and colorful like a dream, which roughly reflects the background objects: a brown chair, a floor-to-ceiling window, The floor of Metz's house is not high, and it is summer at this time, and it is a sunny afternoon when the painting is done, and the green leaves reflecting the golden light outside the window are used as a foil.

The painting is a bust. Qi Xing wears clothes of different styles and colors every time he comes here, but Lin Chi pieced them together to form the clothes in the painting. The clothes happen to echo Lin Chi’s style, It also gave the painting a sense of the flow of time. Metz didn't know why. This feeling was sad. Is it because of the sadness of Qi Xing, the model himself, or because Lin Chi's paintings were like this, or was it in his heart? What do you mean?

Metz didn't know that Qi Xing's eyes in the painting were looking at him. They were a pair of clear and clean eyes, very expressive, and those eyes seemed to be seen from Qi Xing's eyes.

Mace realized that he had encountered a problem. He remembered that Ye He had mentioned to him that it was difficult for Mace to finish painting a person steadily, and even if he finished the painting, most of them would not look like him.After all, he only has eyes for himself.

Mace finally had to admit his uneasy suspicion all the time: Lin Chi fell in love with Qi Xing.And this kind of love is different from the one he used to watch flowers on horseback.

-

Lin Chi just placed the painting like that, as if he didn't intend to decide its destination right away.Metz saw that painting in the living room every day, and felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

Lin Chi, who is really in love, is not as generous as before, but cautious and apprehensive, just looking for opportunities to chat with Qi Xing on QQ, even so, he also carefully considers his words, for fear that what he said will be too much If you make a mistake or make a mistake, you will cut off the current little connection.

Fortunately, in late autumn, Mace’s 26th birthday came (it was the first time Lin Chi knew about Mace’s birthday, and he realized that Mace was younger than him), and Lin Chi encouraged Mace to hold a small birthday party that only invited his closest friends .Of course Mace understood Lin Chi's thoughts, he followed Lin Chi's wishes.Metz only invited Ni Zi and Qi Xing, and he specifically asked Qi Xing to bring his "boyfriend" along on the phone.

This party is not for anything else, but what Ni Zi said to Metz when he accepted the invitation: "Specialize in the relationship between you and Qi Xing."
