warm winter

After Ye Qing left, the room suddenly fell silent.Yuan Yuan originally thought that Jian Xinhe would take the initiative to ask her something, such as how well she slept last night.Because Jian Xinhe sent her a WeChat message last night, Yuan Yuan replied to her, feeling a little uncomfortable and wanted to rest early.

Jian Xinhe didn't show any worried expressions today, probably because Aunt Liu told her about her situation last night.After Yuan Yuan explained herself in her heart, she didn't think Xin He's silence was strange anymore.

"Does Xiao Yuan want to go out for a stroll today or rest in the inn?"

While tidying Yuan Yuan's bed, Aunt Liu asked her for her opinion.

"I want to hang around."

Although Ye Qing couldn't go with him, he has come, so it would be a pity to waste such an opportunity.Besides, she went to step up to get familiar with it first, if Ye Qing was interested tomorrow, she could still be a half guide.

**

The first detailed talk between Ye Qing and the innkeeper took place in the restaurant of the inn.

Not long after the lunch time, the restaurant was empty, with a man and a woman sitting at a wooden table in the corner.

The man has a beard, and his hair is fluffy and a bit messy. He doesn't have any artist temperament, but he is a bit depressed.Women have delicate makeup and a cold temperament.

"I thought my attitude was clear enough yesterday, but I didn't expect you to be so persistent today."

"Mr. Zhuang, you are a designer I admire very much, and a senior I respect very much. It is a very rare opportunity for me to find you, and I am certainly not willing to give up easily."

Zhuang Yi sneered, he was already tired of hearing such compliments.

"Do you know how many recruits like you I've turned down?"

After that, he raised his hands, spread his ten fingers, and turned them over and over again several times.

"Did you count it? To be honest, I can't count myself."

Ye Qing's eyes were calm, although she was touched, she didn't seem to flinch.

"That's also because Mr. Zhuang's talent is admirable and admired, so people flock to him."

Zhuang Yi lit a cigarette, waved his hands and frowned: "Don't flatter me, if you flatter me too high, there won't be any bones left when I fall. I fell once, and I still remember the pain."

Ye Qing had vaguely heard about Zhuang Yi, but she was not familiar with it after all, so she didn't know the details.Listening to his tone, it seems that he has suffered a serious blow.

Seeing that Ye Qing was silent, Zhuang Yi took a deep breath of the cigarette, and then exhaled the smoke ring heavily.

"When I just came back from France, I wanted to settle down in Haicheng just like you. But that place is not much cleaner than Paris. After staying for a long time, I was chased and gnawed at the bones. I finally settled down in Xitang. In the end, I was chased by you again."

On Zhuang Yi's face, he couldn't tell what kind of expression it was.

"With your ability, running a homestay here may be fine as a temporary adjustment, but in the long run, won't you feel lonely, or unwilling?"

Ye Qing's last sentence was unwilling, and he said it slowly, obviously after careful consideration.

But in the end she said it out, directly hitting people's hearts.

Sure enough, Zhuang Yi visibly shook his hand holding the cigarette.

But the next moment, he still insisted on his attitude.

"In our line of work, which one who can make a name for himself has not suffered inhumane hardships? I have survived, and I believe you have survived too. I have seen your works, which are very promising and very special."

Then, he changed the topic: "Then why did you suddenly leave everything in France and go to Haicheng to open a studio?"

When Ye Qing faced Zhuang Yi, he occasionally showed his true emotions.

She does have sad memories about her career.

She worked hard from Haicheng to Paris, where she learned more professional skills, found a better stage to show herself, and finally saw the hope of success.

But now she has to go back to Haicheng from Paris and start over from scratch.On the surface, it was because the design manuscript of the Paris studio was stolen and leaked ahead of time, losing the opportunity for innovation and becoming a vassal.

But in the final analysis, it was because she wanted to insist on running an independent studio, wanted to own an independent brand, and was unwilling to accept the merger offer of the world's first-line big names, and also rejected the invitation of a well-known designer to let her be her deputy.

"Actually, I've heard a little bit about you. Although we are not familiar with each other, but as a colleague and someone who has experienced it, I can only give you a word and take it lightly."

Now Zhuang Yi comforted Ye Qing instead.

She raised her eyes to seriously search for the real emotion in the heart of the person opposite, is she really unwilling to stick to her dream?Or, after being suppressed by capital too many times, I finally accepted the cruel reality and made myself numb.

Numb to accept the pain, numb to accept the ending.

"Since we've all fallen down, why don't we give ourselves a chance to get back up?"

Ye Qing really appreciates Zhuang Yi's design style, otherwise she wouldn't be persistent in looking for him.

"I'm not like you."

Zhuang Yi put out the cigarette butt, and his voice was low and sad.When it comes to his old business, he is still full of nostalgia, but it is also accompanied by an unresolved sadness.

"Everyone has their own experience, we don't need to be exactly the same. If we are exactly the same, why should I ask you?"

Zhuang Yi smiled instead of anger.

He is more than ten years older than Ye Qing, and his early life experience is more tortuous and bumpy than Ye Qing, but he does not despise the person in front of him.

He looked up at his watch and smiled slightly.

"You are the one who has been sitting the longest among so many people who have been found."

Ye Qing made a calculation, they sat down seriously and began to talk, no more than 10 minutes at most.

Is this the longest?

Seeing Ye Qing's astonishment, Zhuang Yi explained leisurely: "Speaking of boasting, those who come to me are either a bit famous or have a bit of capital. To put it bluntly, everyone is a proud person. .Look at my reckless temper, can these people stay here?"

Ye Qing smiled, picked up the teacup in her hand, and took a small sip.

"Although those words just now have a bad attitude, they are also my sincere words. I am reluctant, but I am also really heartbroken, and I don't want to go back."

Seeing Zhuang Yi's insistence, Ye Qing couldn't force it any longer.

If you continue to persuade them, I'm afraid they will just break up unhappy.

Detours, take your time.

Ye Qing encouraged herself in her heart.

Although there were quite a few setbacks, but before he had time to be depressed, he suddenly remembered Yuan Yuan's expression when he cheered him up before going out today.Ye Qing laughed silently, immersed in memories.

Zhuang Yi was playing with the teacup with his head down, when he caught a glimpse of Ye Qing's expression by chance, he suddenly became interested.

"Thinking of your lover?" She smiled so sweetly.

Zhuang Yi's design style is based on freedom and romance, never restricted by worldly vision, and often impresses people with bold and avant-garde or unexpected cross-border combinations.

"No." Ye Qing regained his composure.

At this time, a group of people came in from the door.Hearing movement in the restaurant, Zhuang Yi looked at Ye Qing with his head.

"Your friends are back. Visit the ancient town with them more. It's a nice place. If you have the opportunity to stay for a while, you'll like it too."

Zhuang Yi picked up the lighter and packed the cigarette case, apparently ready to leave.

At this time, a person walked into the restaurant.

On the way back, Yuan Yuan was thinking about Ye Qing. Although he visited several scenic spots with Aunt Liu and Xinhe, he also tasted rice dumplings and Gorgon fruit cake.But with things in mind, I always have a hard time playing.

She simply ate lunch outside and came back. Others thought Yuan Yuan was tired, so they came back according to her wishes.

"Ye Qing." Yuan Yuan found Ye Qing as soon as he entered.

Although her back was turned to her, Yuan Yuan recognized her immediately.

She recognized the clothes and hairstyle, and there were only two people in the restaurant at this moment, so she could guess that it was her.

But Yuan Yuan couldn't deny that even if the restaurant was full of customers at this time, even if they hadn't met this morning, she could easily find Ye Qing.

"Have you eaten yet?" Ye Qing turned around and saw that it was Yuan Yuan, and the depression in his heart seemed to fade a little.

Yuan Yuan nodded with a smile, looked at her table on tiptoe, it was empty, only teacups and an ashtray.

Only then did Yuan Yuan remember that there was another man present, and the cigarette butts in the ashtray should have been left by him.

She turned her gaze to see the person who was a little closer to her.Nodding politely to him, he roughly guessed his identity.

Zhuang Yi was just curious and wanted to stop and take a look.Unexpectedly, when Yuan Yuan approached and completely walked out of the light and shadow, he couldn't move anymore.

"A natural model, good foundation."

Ye Qing came over at some point, and couldn't help frowning when she heard Zhuang Yi say that.

Instead of staying by Zhuang Yi's side, she quickened her pace and quickly walked in front of Yuan Yuan, blocking Zhuang Yi's sight with herself.

"Hey, what is this for? I didn't say what to do, and you started to get nervous?"

This is considered a half-joke in their industry, but with a touch of sarcasm.

There are always some designers who make some outrageous moves in the name of looking for models, especially the more famous designers are, the more they like to start with those children who are pure natural or even not fully grown.

For this, Ye Qing hated it deeply.

"I haven't eaten yet, go out with me and have some more." Ye Qing lowered her head and invited Yuan Yuan gently.

Huh?But isn't this a restaurant?It is more convenient to eat here when you are hungry.

Before Yuan Yuan could speak out the question in his heart, Ye Qing took him out of the inn unobtrusively.

Zhuang Yi watched the backs of one tall and one short leave, stroked the beard on his chin, thoughtful.
