"Wen Ling!" The squad leader at the payment office waved to Wen Ling, "This way."

Wen Ling walked to the table, opened her schoolbag, took out her ID card and bank card, and signed to pay.Ke Yici stood upright behind Wen Ling, like a bodyguard.

"Who is this?" The monitor looked at Ke Yici's face, not sure whether the other party was a parent or a senior.

"I'm Wen Ling's friend." Ke Yici said, "Don't worry about me."

Wen Ling returned the signature sheet to the monitor, put on her schoolbag again, turned around and said to Ke Yici, "Okay."

"Where to go shopping?" Ke Yici asked.

Wen Ling gestured [the school's painting material store has it, it's cheap and easy to use. 】He made gestures while walking 【Have you been here before? 】

"No, I'm so poor at painting, did I go to the Academy of Fine Arts to take my own humiliation?" Ke Yici said, looking down to find the graffiti on the roadside stone, "You also draw on this?"

Wen Ling shook her head.

"It looks fun." Ke Yici said curiously.

Seeing that Ke Yici was interested, Wen Ling added acrylic paint to his shopping list.

"I remember you majored in traditional Chinese painting." Ke Yici said, "What kind of concept is it probably?"

Wen Ling gestured [I like a lot of directions, so I picked one that doesn't require frequent laundry. 】

"I want to see your work." Ke Yici said.

Wen Ling took out the tablet, opened the gallery, selected the Chinese painting album, and handed it to Ke Yici to read.The postures of different birds, standing, nesting, dancing, spreading their wings, and swooping, Wen Ling's preferences can be seen.

"There are more." Wen Ling scrolled down a dozen pictures, including various landscapes, plants, dragons and tigers fighting, and fishermen fishing.In the early stage, the style of painting was changeable, and in the later stage, it gradually became a school of its own, with precise structural proportions, full details, smooth and smooth lines, appropriate simplicity, and a full sense of atmosphere. Flipping through the past one by one, the progress visible to the naked eye is pleasing to the eye.

"You will be a senior at the beginning of school, do you want to complete the project?" Ke Yici asked.

Wen Ling nodded, and he said, "Yes, I think so."

"Tell me about it." Ke Yici said.

"Crane." Wen Ling said, thinking for a moment, and gestured [I don't know what to draw, I'm still thinking about it. 】

"Wen..." A young man was sitting in the gazebo in the middle of the lawn beside the sidewalk. When he saw Wen Ling, he stood up instantly: "Wen Ling!"

Wen Ling turned her head in the direction of the voice, then frowned, and said to Ke Yici, "Quick."

"Ah?" Ke Yici pretended not to know the boy named Wen Ling, "Is he your classmate?"

"No." Wen Ling dragged Ke Yici's arm forward, "Let's go."

Taking advantage of the gap between the two chatting, the boy ran over and said, "I've been waiting for you all morning."

"It's been so hard, why don't you send a WeChat message to Xiaoyu." Ke Yici said, "I sent him here."

Chu Zhesong didn't hear the yin and yang in Ke Yici's words. He threw himself on Wen Ling and said, "Are you going to the store to buy something? I'll go too."

Ke Yici looked at Chu Zhesong suspiciously. How did this kid have such a long head? Could it be that he could only hear what he wanted to hear.

Wen Ling let go of Ke Yici's hand, gestured to Chu Zhesong, and stopped after making two gestures. Remembering that Chu Zhesong couldn't understand sign language, he opened his schoolbag and planned to take out a tablet to communicate.

"Okay." Ke Yici stopped Wen Ling's hand from taking the tablet, and put his arms around the child's shoulders, "Xiao Yu will show me around the school, instead of going to the store, you can go by yourself."

Chu Zhesong finally noticed Ke Yici who was standing beside him, and he asked Wen Ling, "Who is he?"

"It's your ancestor." Ke Yici said, "Why can't you understand human language?" He zipped up Wen Ling's schoolbag and patted his shoulder, "Let's go."

Wen Ling gestured [I blocked him. 】

"Xiaoyu said, he blocked you, don't pester him." Ke Yici translated, and he pretended to be someone who has experienced it to educate the young man, "Break up decently, it's not good for anyone if it's too embarrassing. "

Chu Zhesong did not refute, he kept looking at Wen Ling with an extremely aggrieved expression, like a bereaved dog.

Wen Ling glanced at him, turned around and left neatly, Ke Yici used a mental attack: "You have been talking for two years, and you can't even understand sign language." He followed Wen Ling's footsteps and asked, "So you like Are you stalking this one?"

Wen Ling refused to answer.

"Look at me, I can also stalk." Ke Yici hid his true intentions in a joke.

Wen Ling looked at him, his big, round eyes were bright and agile, and he said, "Liar."

One sentence hammered Ke Yici's freshman courage back into his chest, he swallowed bitterly, and muttered: "I really hold grudges."

An arm actively wrapped around Ke Yici's shoulder, and Wen Ling pointed to the school gate: "Go." He shook his good friend's arm, shaking the frustration in the other's eyes, and said, "Buy, something."

"You show the way." Ke Yici said.

[There are two painting materials stores at the gate of the school, which are a little more expensive than those in the school, but they have a more complete variety. 】Wen Ling gestures.

"OK." Ke Yici said, he followed Wen Ling's wishes and walked towards the school gate, "Do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Yes." Wen Ling said, and he gestured apologetically [I'm going to visit grandma and grandpa, sorry. 】

"Oh, it's okay, the elderly are more important." Ke Yici said, "Anyway, we are all in Beijing, so it is convenient for us to visit each other."

Walking into the painting material store to pick and choose, Wen Ling introduced to Ke Yici the categories of Chinese painting pigments, powder, paste or block pigments, and he has his own unique selection skills.Wen Ling walked around every counter slowly and leisurely. He enjoyed the process of buying painting materials. No matter whether Ke Yici understood or not, his gesticulating hands kept explaining in the air, his eyes were bright and full of dialogue. The love of painting.

Different from the quiet and gentle young people in daily life, Wen Ling is in high spirits at this moment, and his role has been reversed. Ke Yici has become the listening party, looking seriously at the other party's hands waving in the air.

"A total of 720 yuan." The clerk said, "How do I pay?"

Wen Ling opened the payment page on the mobile phone, the clerk scanned the code, put the painting materials piled up on the table into a paper bag, and handed it to Wen Ling: "Welcome next time."

"Where are you going next?" Ke Yi asked.

[I want to go to Yangcai and see Xiaoxue. 】Wen Ling said.

"Are you hungry?" Ke Yici said, "I'm going to buy something to eat."

Wen Ling shook his head, Ke Yici threw him a car key and said, "Get in the car and wait for me, I'll be right here."

Wen Ruixue climbed up to the third floor with a large 26-inch suitcase, panting with exhaustion. She found the house number of the dormitory, opened the door, and said, "Sisters, I'm back."

"You live in Beijing and still bring so many things?" Wei Mei, the roommate who was packing up, said, "I brought special products, which are on my table. You can try them."

"Beef jerky, it's great!" Wen Ruixue picked up an empty summer water glass, "I'll wash the glass first, and come back to eat."

Wen Ruixue went to the water room to wash and rinse, and went back to the dormitory with a cup of hot water. Wen Ruixue raised her head: "Meimei, I'll take a piece of beef jerky."

"Take it." Wei Mei said, she sat on the bed and checked her phone, "Sunny and Xiaowei arrived at night, and they also brought a lot of special products. We have had a good time these two days."

"Okay." Wen Ruixue said, "When everyone is here, I'll treat everyone to roast duck."

"I can't make you spend money." Wei Mei said, she quit WeChat, clicked on Weibo, browsed a few hot spots casually, her eyes stayed on a missing person notice, the girl in the picture was clearly Wen Ruixue, "That..."

"Huh?" Wen Ruixue, who was eating beef jerky happily, raised her head.

"It's nothing." Wei Mei frowned, and settled down to explore what happened. The blogger who posted the missing person notice was a self-media located in Zhengzhou, Henan, claiming to help an old couple find their missing daughter for free.

The blog post is not long, and the main content is to complain that her daughter was snatched away by unscrupulous traffickers when she was still a baby. The old couple searched hard for many years, and followed the clues all the way north to Tianjin to find their adult daughter. However, the daughter refused to recognize her relatives, and the heartbroken old couple returned to Henan in despair, begging bloggers to speak out for them, and recall the family affection hidden in their daughter's blood.

"Ruixue." Wei Mei asked, "Is this you?" She climbed down from the upper bunk with a ladder, and handed the phone to Wen Ruixue, "The entry I saw in the trending list has already become the tenth most searched item. "

Wen Ruixue took a closer look, and it turned out to be a one-inch photo posted on the high school's list. A gap was torn in her peaceful life. She sensed the undercurrent of conspiracy and said, "It's me, but the situation is far more complicated than what was described in the post. .”
