aren't we rivals

He is really an artist, expressing love is full of artistic sense.

As Meng Chi thought about it, he heard footsteps behind him.

"Why are you here?" Yu Tingzhi asked in a calm tone, without the slightest embarrassment that the work he created while idle and imagining was smashed by the client.

"I want to sleep for a while," Meng Chi said.

Yu Tingzhi glanced at the painting utensils in the room, and said, "I converted this room into a studio, go to the master bedroom and sleep."

Meng Chi nodded, turned around and walked to the master bedroom with him.

Yu Tingzhi dared to bring Meng Chi back because he thought he would see those paintings.To be honest, drawing a bunch of nude portraits of someone behind their backs is hardly a gentleman's act, and even a little perverted.Even if this painter can be called an artist.

It's just that Yu Tingzhi had already taken off his artist's coat in front of Meng Chi, revealing his layman nature.So in fact, he wasn't worried that these paintings would make Meng Chi feel bad, but Meng Chi's silence at this time suddenly made him feel a little subtle, and he began to wonder about Meng Chi's current mood.

Before he could ask, Meng Chi spoke first. He smiled and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Yu Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said "yes": "If you feel unwell after entering, please tell me the truth."

This time it was Meng Chi's turn to be stunned, he hadn't understood what Yu Tingzhi meant by this, Yu Tingzhi had already stepped forward and opened his door.

Due to the layout of the house, the area at the door of the bedroom is relatively dimly lit, so when Yu Tingzhi opened the door, bright light poured out from the bedroom, just like the light door leading to heaven in the movie , Meng Chi even squinted his eyes involuntarily.

He first looked at the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, and then a big bed covered with dark green sheets, and the large photo on the wall at the end of the bed.

A whole patch of green almost occupied the entire wall, varying in depth and light, reflecting a wonderful vitality in the sunlight, but the thing that caught Meng Chi's attention the most was the boy bound by thorns and vines in the photo.

"This is..." The fresh ocean scent in the room enveloped Meng Chi, almost making him forget to breathe, and murmured, "...it's me."

It is one of the group of "Wild Spring" shot by She Shan at the beginning, and it is him at the age of 17.

The background in the photo is a mountain, full of green grass and trees, dotted with wild flowers, Meng Chi is naked to the waist, entwined by thorns and vines, looking up at the camera in a prayerful attitude. The 17-year-old Meng Chi has both the youthful rebelliousness and the peaceful vicissitudes of life, blending into a unique wild aura.

"It's you." Yu Tingzhi said.

Meng Chi came back to his senses suddenly, he turned his head to look at Yu Tingzhi, saw that he was smiling at the end of his eyes, and there was light in his eyes.The admiring look in his eyes when he looked at the photos captured Meng Chi's mind, which moved him even more than seeing those paintings just now.

He now understands why Yu Tingzhi said that to him before entering the door just now.

The decoration style of the bedroom is minimalist, with white walls and dark gauze, and monotonous colors. The color tone of this photo is dark, suppressing half of the wall. Although the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows is bright, it also makes the atmosphere of the bedroom a bit depressing, which is inappropriate. Ambivalence.

But when Meng Chi walked up to that photo and imagined how he would feel when he was lying on the bed and saw this photo, he suddenly felt that this design was actually quite special.

Special perversion.

Now he also understands why the day he went to bed with Yu Ting for the first time, when he asked to go to bed, Yu Tingzhi took him to the guest bedroom instead of the master bedroom.

At first he thought it was because of Yu Tingzhi's personal habits, that's why he chose to take a nap in the second bedroom just now, and then he saw those paintings.

"When did you do it?" After the astonishment calmed down, Meng Chi became curious, "Don't tell me it was before I knew you."

Yu Tingzhi smiled lightly and shook his head: "After you acted as a model for She Shan."

The color of this photo is bright, and the film cloth is still very new. It can be seen that it has not been kept for a long time, so even if Meng Chi recognized that it was his photo taken seven years ago, he never thought that it would be Yu Tingzhi's seven years ago.

After all, they were pure strangers back then.

Meng Chi nodded, glanced sideways at Yu Tingzhi, suddenly raised his arms around Yu Tingzhi's neck, and said with a smile on his face, "Teacher Yu, so you like me so much, you have to watch me every day when you sleep. My Photo."

Seeing his happy expression, the little worry in Yu Tingzhi's heart dissipated, he nodded with a smile: "Well, I like you very much, and I want to see you every day when I open my eyes."

Meng Chi, whose heart beat faster because of the love words, gave a "tsk", raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you inviting me to come and live with you?"

Yu Tingzhi didn't expect his mind to turn so fast, he smiled and nodded: "If you want."

Of course Meng Chi didn't really live together with Yu Tingzhi, after all, it's hard for Master to explain.But for the next few days, he stayed here with Yu Tingzhi.Every morning Yu Tingzhi would drive him to Youran Teahouse, and then pick him up after get off work.

To be honest, it’s quite awkward to look at my 17-year-old self every day when I wake up and open my eyes, but every time I see this photo, Meng Chi will think of the paintings in that room. It's nothing.

Meng Chi's feet improved a lot after two days of rest, and he could concentrate on work and cooperate with She Shan in filming promotional videos.

Regarding the filming of the promotional video, Meng Chi handed it over to Sheshan's team after reviewing the plan.He believes in She Shan's professionalism. Apart from his recognition of She Shan's own photography ability, he also knows that She Shan's family runs an entertainment company and is quite famous in the entertainment circle. He has produced several hit dramas for Jiang Hong to watch. The idol drama "Dear Blossoms with Rain" was filmed by his company.

The two assistants brought by Sheshan are also very professional planners. They not only did a good job in publicizing the plan, but also put forward many useful suggestions based on the current situation of Youran Teahouse, such as appropriately changing the decoration of the store and adding some youthfulness. atmosphere; the fruit teas prepared by Meng Chi himself can also be sold as takeaway items to expand the consumer base; you can also make some dry tea bags with our own characteristics and sell them individually or in gift boxes to increase the number of stores. sales content.You can even open an online store to increase sales channels.

Hearing this, Meng Chi couldn't help but sigh, "This is not here to shoot a promotional video, this is here to reform."

"Since I promised to help you publicize, I must not be fooled casually," She Shan said, "I am not an irresponsible person."

She Shan has been staying at Youran Teahouse almost every day these days. She is indeed very responsible, even a bit too responsible. She also wants to expand the content of the promotional video. In addition to introducing Youran Teahouse, she also needs to introduce some famous teas , make a micro-documentary.

"It's impossible for you to rely on the promotion this time and eat it for the rest of your life, right?" She Shan said, "You can use these films in your self-media and online stores in the future, and it can be regarded as promoting tea culture."

"Will this be too much trouble?" Meng Chi hesitated.

In fact, he approved of She Shan's idea in his heart, but the filming of the promotional film was originally a verbal agreement between She Shan and Yang Zile.Although Meng Chi did not receive any remuneration for being a model, She Shan did spend a small [-] yuan to buy those old teas. It's very face-saving, and Meng Chi felt a little embarrassed because he was too inspiring.

But this embarrassment disappeared when I learned that the first stop that Sheshan proposed to expand the shooting content was to go to Fuzhou.

Without him, Yang Youran, who is at home with leisure, took over a job two days ago, which was to shoot a music variety show in Fuzhou.

It is probably because She Shan and Yang Youran did not get any good results, so they could only continue to follow the name of Youran Teahouse to shoot promotional videos and have an intersection with Yang Youran.

Meng Chi understood what She Shan was thinking, so he didn't make further excuses, but only proposed that all the expenses for this shoot would be paid by Leisurely Teahouse.She Shan's thoughts were not here at all, so she naturally agreed.

In the store at night, Yang Zile immediately asked to go together after hearing Meng Chi say this.

There are still two weeks before the college entrance examination, and there are no new courses to learn. The school no longer requires students to come to school as before. Students can apply for review at home instead of going to school to report.

Yang Zile didn't go to school very much during this period, and often sat in the store with a book, superficially reviewing, but actually eavesdropping on the shooting content of Sheshan and the assistant he brought, and asking them for advice. Little experience in self-media publicity.

Meng Chi could turn a blind eye to this matter, but it was absolutely impossible to take Yang Zile out to shoot at this time.

Yang Zile was very depressed about this, and even said something like "reviewing is useless, I will definitely not pass the exam".

Meng Chi frowned when he heard the words, a rare look of dissatisfaction and sullenness appeared on his face.

Yang Zile: "Am I wrong? It's not like you don't know that I'm a scumbag."

Yang Zile's grades are indeed not good, and he has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches all year round.Maybe it was because he was not born to study, or maybe he never put his mind on studying. In short, with his current grades, it is indeed very difficult to get into the ideal university.

Meng Chi looked at him for two seconds, sighed, said "Come with me", then turned and walked into the yard.

Yang Zile reluctantly followed. It was already dark and there was no one in the yard, so Meng Chi just found an empty tea table and sat down, beckoning Yang Zile to sit beside him.

"Why are you pouring chicken soup on me again?" Yang Zile said.

Meng Chi laughed: "I want to drink it, but if you don't drink it, it's useless."

Yang Zile was noncommittal, Meng Chi thought for a while and said, "I know what you're thinking, you think you won't pass the exam, and it's a waste of time to bother to read books now, why don't you put these things on the things you think are useful Come on, following Fat Brother and Xiao Ying for such a journey, maybe you can learn a lot of experience and let you do your Weibo account well."

Yang Zile nodded, "Isn't it?"

Meng Chi glanced at him, and asked without answering, "And then?"

Yang Zile: "Then the store's business will improve."

Meng Chi laughed, "Is it really that easy?"

The expression on Yang Zile's face gradually became numb and distressed. Of course he knew it would not be easy, so he wanted to learn more from him and catch up with Sheshan's popularity.

"This time, you can take advantage of She Shan's popularity and connections, but what about next time?" Meng Chi continued, "Will She Shan help you all the time? If he doesn't help you, where are you going to find the next She Shan? "

Yang Zile's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He looked at Meng Chi dissatisfied and said, "Then who knows, this time we have a certain amount of enthusiasm. If we strike while the iron is hot, there will definitely be other opportunities."

"Besides, didn't She Shan want to chase after my sister? I might be his brother-in-law in the future, why would he not want to help me?"

Meng Chi: "..."

"You think a lot, kid. But does sister know that you just 'married' her to She Shan?"

Yang Zile curled his lips in noncommittal.

"You also know that She Shan is willing to help us because she wants to chase after Sister Ran, but if he is no longer interested in Sister Ran, will he still help you?"

"Isn't there still you here? Aren't She Shan and Teacher Yu good friends?"

Meng Chi: "..."

Seeing his speechless expression, Yang Zile immediately said, "You won't say it again, what if you break up with Teacher Yu?"

Meng Chi: "..."

Meng Chi froze in anger, moved his lips but only said, "It's not impossible."

Yang Zile: "..."

The two of them were so focused on chatting that they didn't notice that someone was approaching behind them, and the sound of slight footsteps was drowned out by the melodious guzheng music coming from the store.

Hearing these words, Yu Tingzhi stopped suddenly and did not move forward.
