Stand-in Raiders

After eating, the two went out with their drawing boards and paints. Perhaps it was such a coincidence that when they left the hotel, they met the couple again.

What Du Hainian didn't expect was that the younger-looking man raised his hand and greeted him.

In the restaurant, they should have found Du Hainian.

But those two didn't tell the truth, and Du Hainian didn't intend to expose it. Only Xiao Peng helped Du Hainian hold the paint box with a blank expression on his face.

He didn't know it happened in the morning, because it all happened when he went to get his breakfast.

Although it is not clear how Du Hainian and these two people met, Xiao Peng smiled and nodded to the two to express his friendliness, and the two returned a smile, and then went their separate ways .

After Du Hainian and Xiao Peng left, the younger-looking man took the hand of the person next to him, "The two of them should also be lovers."

The older man didn't speak, but just looked at the backs of the two people leaving. He also felt that the two people had feelings for each other, but they kept a distance between them unintentionally. Maybe, it hasn't been revealed yet?

Today's young people are thin-skinned.

Thinking about it, the older one led the person beside him and walked in the opposite direction to Xiao Peng and the others.They came to participate in the competition, but only one of them entered the final, and the other was eliminated in the rematch, but what does it matter?Anyway, didn't the two of them come to this place together?

On the other side, Xiao Peng and Du Hainian had already arrived at an open-air parking lot, and there were many people standing in twos and threes. This is what Xiao Peng inquired yesterday, and it is possible to rent a car here.

If Du Hainian wanted to go out to sketch, the location would definitely not be too close. Renting a car is a must.

After negotiating skillfully, Xiao Peng chose a black car that looked almost new. After paying the deposit, he checked the fuel and found that it was fully charged, enough to go to the place he chose.

Du Hainian put his painting utensils in the rear compartment. These things need to be handled with care. Some things cannot be pressed down, but must be placed in a certain order. This can only be done by himself, while Xiao Peng checks the car. tires and cab.

"You guys want to rent for a month, remember to drive the car back before 06 o'clock this evening next month." A man with a beard stood aside and watched Xiao Peng check, "We get off work at 30:[-] every day, but you We also need to check after we drive back. If there is any damage, you will have to pay for it. It is also stated in the rental agreement that if you have a car accident during the rental period, we will not be responsible. Do you want to take a closer look? "

Xiao Peng shook his head and said that there is no need to read it. He had already seen all the terms clearly when he just signed the contract. It is indeed normal and there is no trap. However, it is okay to fill up the gas when returning the car. After all Not much fuel.

"Okay, then you can drive away later." The bearded man saw that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Peng, so he put away his own agreement, folded it several times, put it in a bag, and walked towards the few people just now. Go to the gathering place.

Although this job is easy, it is also boring when there is no one around. Just now a colleague was talking about a movie that was released yesterday. It sounded pretty good. Maybe I can take my wife and son to watch it when I am on vacation.

After Xiao Peng checked the car, Du Hainian also put everything in order and sat in the passenger cab.

"Let's go to Mingna Lake. I asked yesterday where it is very suitable for sketching. If you are lucky, you may even meet a group of swans. It is said that they are a group of black swans." Xiao Peng looked around and drove out of the parking lot. Then I opened the navigation and entered Minna Lake.

Minna Lake is a famous scenic spot in the town. Except for every Juilliard Cup competition, it is this Minna Lake that attracts the most attention of tourists. However, it is still early at this time, and there should not be many people sketching there. Yes.

Du Hainian didn't have any objection to this, he nodded to show that he understood, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Xiao Peng always arranges everything in an orderly manner, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

It's such a good feeling.

It would be nice if it could continue like this.

The two of them left the hotel after ten o'clock, and went to the car rental company. It was almost noon when they arrived at Mingna Lake. Snacks for lunch, and a picnic with Du Hainian by the Minna Lake.

There were not many people when they arrived. Maybe most of the people who participated in the competition hadn’t arrived yet, or they were still resting in the hotel. Today, there were only a few people in twos and threes by the Mingna Lake. Among them, they were carrying drawing boards. It looked like they were here to sketch There are only two people.

It was also a coincidence that they happened to be the two people they met when they came out of the hotel.

Du Hainian propped up his drawing board not far from the two of them. It was a small hillside. From here, one could see the entire scenery of Mingna Lake in his eyes. The scenery was infinitely beautiful.

It's not that the two of them didn't see Du Hainian and Xiao Peng, but they were all doing their own things, they just smiled and nodded to this side, and then went to do what they were doing.

Regarding this, Du Hainian didn't even think about disturbing them.

Those two people didn't come here to sketch seriously, they clearly came to live in a world of two, and Du Hainian would not go there to make fun of himself.

Thinking of this, Du Hainian raised his head and glanced at Xiao Peng. The scenery here is so beautiful, isn't it especially suitable for romance?

It's a pity that Xiao Peng didn't seem to think of anything. He just helped Du Hainian prepare all the things needed for sketching, and then took the side, without speaking or expressing anything else.

Du Hainian rolled his eyes severely in his heart, and then he could only resign himself to his fate and began to use the pen to move on the paper. Gradually, Du Hainian's mind was immersed in the drawing paper, and he didn't pay any more attention to Xiao Peng.

Xiao Peng didn't go far, stood still where he could see Du Hainian when he looked up, and then smoked a cigarette.

Xiao Peng is not addicted to smoking, and he seldom smokes after meeting Du Hainian. A pack of cigarettes can even be kept in his pocket for three or four months, or even more.Because Du Hainian didn't like the smell of cigarettes, Xiao Peng tried his best not to let the smell of cigarettes get on his body. He didn't mention that he didn't smoke, and he even avoided places with a strong smell of cigarettes.

But now, he suddenly wanted to smoke one.

From his point of view, Du Hainian was lowering his head and adjusting the paint, looking up at the sky and the easel from time to time.

It is rare to see such a quiet Du Hainian. He is usually more ostentatious and energetic. Only painting can calm him down.

Xiao Peng suddenly remembered his mentor's evaluation of Du Hainian. Du Hainian is very talented, but it is precisely because of his talent that he does not have the sense of urgency of those who are not qualified enough.

It wasn't very early when the two arrived at Mingna Lake, and the time for eating was delayed for a while. By the time Xiao Peng felt that he had seen enough and asked Du Hainian to pack up and go back to the hotel, the sky was already getting darker. It was dark.

Du Hainian was so fascinated by the painting that Xiao Peng stood behind him and shouted several times before he responded.

"What's wrong?" Du Hainian looked up, still holding a pen in one hand.

"It's time to go back to the hotel." Xiao Peng reached out and wiped the paint on Du Hainian's face, and withdrew his hand after finding that the paint was dry and couldn't be wiped off like this, "It's getting dark, go back to eat Go ahead. We can come back tomorrow if you like."

Du Hainian took out his mobile phone from Xiao Peng's pocket to check the time, only to realize that it was indeed getting late, so he put away the easel and walked back.

For more than ten days, Du Hainian went to Mingna Lake every day to see the scenery and sketch. Xiao Peng wanted to see the content of his paintings, but Du Hainian kept it secret. Xiao Peng really didn't see anything.

After being curious a few times, seeing Du Hainian always reacting like this, Xiao Peng became even more curious.

If it's just an ordinary landscape sketch, how can it be so secretive? So, what's the difference that Du Hainian cares about so much?

However, Du Hainian said that he would not show it to him, and Xiao Peng did not see the contents of the painting until the finals began.
