between the lips

Chu He was not nervous.His parents' education seems to be very open-minded, even if there is a big event, the family will move a chair and chat in a circle and it will pass.The last time a "family meeting" was held was Chu He's one a year ago. Chu Zhengping persuaded him to return to China to study, but Pu Qianning let him go out by himself. The couple had a quarrel for a while because of this disagreement.

This time the battle was not as big as that one, but Pu Qianning showed more worries than before.

"Hehe, are you planning to go back to China?" Pu Qianning fiddled with the lighter in her hand, opened and closed the flip cover with a ding, "Or is he going to stay in Ceylon for you?"

Chu He replied honestly: "It hasn't been decided yet. Let's get the exhibition done first."

Pu Qianning raised her eyes and took out a cigarette, "Then you two are just playing around?"

"No," Chu He stretched out his hand, and wanted one too. After lighting it, the smoke smelled of fruit, "We talked about this issue before. I think it's very romantic to freeze a beautiful thing, but trying to keep it and continue It’s stupid. Yeah, we hit it off all the way, but it’s all because of the Sri Lankan filter—after this summer, I don’t know how long it’s going to last.”

"So you want to go abroad for a while?" Pu Qianning obviously couldn't understand, but she still chose to finish listening.She hooked her fingers, held the thin cigarette between her lips, and lit the cigarette with Chu He's flame.

Chu He tried hard to explain the agreement between them, but felt that it was wrong to say: "We each have a lot of troubles that have not been resolved. Before that, we don't want to delay each other's life and work. Otherwise, even if we went for someone A certain place may not be able to live well in the future.”

"I'm very happy that you can be so calm, but in case, during the time you are apart, who has a new life, what should I do?"

"Then I'll probably meet him first to make things clear. If that 'new life' is good for both of us, then it's not a pity to separate, right?" Chu He said, "Or, I can also look forward to the next time Met him unexpectedly? Maybe it will be another scene, the unknown is always beautiful."

Pu Qianning understood, and dispersed the green smoke in the air: "It's very similar to that movie, "Love Before Dawn and Sunrise."

"Yes, that's what it means," Chu He said with a smile.

"However, the male and female protagonists in the sequel missed ten years, and each started a family." Pu Qianning sneered.

"But they're still together in the end."

"At the risk of having an affair?"

"If you judge literary and artistic works with this kind of perspective, then all romance is meaningless." Chu He replied quickly. He knew that it would be difficult to reach a consensus with his mother on this point, and he didn't even think about convincing him, "And that missed The ten years are not meaningless. Every experience is changing people, if they don't pass through the precipitation of time, how will they know that each other is suitable for them?"

Pu Qianning still disagreed, and simply changed the angle: "Then do you think you and Xiao Wei can withstand the test? The Indian Ocean is so wide that ordinary people can't get past it."

"If you can't even stand this, how can we guarantee that we will be together for a long time?" Chu He said, "Family, other people's eyes, status, daily necessities... which one is not more difficult than the Indian Ocean?"

"Since you think so clearly, it's useless for me to say more," Pu Qianning shook the cigarette butt, and shook off some ash, "I don't understand the thoughts of you young people, but fortunately, I still know a little bit of painting." —How are you getting ready?"

"I stopped and drew on the road, and I'm quite satisfied."

After finishing speaking, Chu He dug out the manuscripts he had saved in Sri Lanka this year, carefully spread them out and placed them on the easel.

From left to right, you can clearly see the change in style. There are a few realistic paintings, depicting animals stranded or children out of school. They were painted when they first came to Sri Lanka. I know they were completed a while ago, and the rest are all brightly colored. Some of the color blocks and simple brushstrokes look like semi-finished products, but under a specific light, the shadows will form a complete work together with the painting.Several of them were body paintings, and it was obvious that the model was the one downstairs.

Pu Qianning smiled: "Don't worry about it anymore? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at as a 'primary school student talent show'?" The slippers slapped on the heels, "And Mr. Gu, have you solved it?"

"No, but I don't think it's a big deal to be different from others. Existence is reasonable, and I don't need to be recognized." Chu He is calm when talking about this matter now, and can even show a comfort With a smile, he told his mother that he was relieved, "Wei Yuhuai also brought me to discover this."

Pu Qianning knew that there was no need to talk any more, the child was like a mirror in her heart now.So she stood up, patted her skirt, pulled back her thick curly hair, and put out the butt of her cigarette coquettishly, "Since this is the case, I will be responsible for telling your father more, lest he find out and get angry."

Chu He made a salute gesture with a smile, "Mom, you are really an angel in the world, a god of beauty!!"

Pu Qianning ignored this flattery: "Get lost!"

"Ah!! It's not the god of beauty!! It's God!!" Chu He made a gesture of the hand of God very artificially.

Pu Qianning smiled and said: "In addition, I think it is necessary to be recognized. First of all, your paintings must be sold and you can support yourself, and then you can think about your metaphysical creation problems."

"Understood, don't worry."

Pu Qianning didn't say any more, and left the studio with a gust of wind in her slim long skirt.

"He will never be your bondage, will he?" Before leaving, she suddenly turned around and leaned against the door frame and asked, "Will it really make you happy to see time so short?"

Chu He didn't hear the question clearly at first, but was attracted by the white pigeon outside the window.It wasn't until Ms. Pu knocked on the door that she looked away and saw that the green smoke in the room had dissipated.

"I don't know if it will become a fetter," Chu He said, "but he will always be my flag."
