Deer in the forest

Lin Shen couldn't believe that he really left until he got on the boat to country D.I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have been planning for a long time. At this moment, I feel unreality wrapped in all directions.He needs to keep looking at the endless sea outside through the window in order to regain his cognition that he is already on the boat.

This feeling lasted until he arrived in country M.

The itinerary went very smoothly.Lin Shen even wondered if the first half of his life was too miserable, and the god of fate gave him a golden finger for the second half of his life.

When he arrived in Country M, he unilaterally lost contact as soon as he landed.Yancheng didn't wait for his safe call, and couldn't contact him.Lin Shen can't help it, he can't trust anyone, this trip is too unimaginable, he finally got out of the cage, he can't entrust his safety to others.

Lin Shen is essentially an otaku, he doesn't like changes, and he doesn't like walking around.He soon rented a small apartment in a quiet residential area.The quaint wooden building is old for a long time. Every time you go upstairs, the wooden floor under your feet will creak, like an old rhyme, but it has a mysterious and soothing power.

His room is on the third floor, with one bedroom and one living room. Outside the window is an equally quiet street, where a large prairie tree grows.He often sits by the window and reads for a whole day, completely implementing stillness.In the past few years, he has never been so quiet and contented as he is now, and his whole body seems to be immersed in the warm sunlight.

Although there is still a gap from the life he imagined, it seems good if he can live his life like this.

After about a month of this, he sent a package from far away Europe through an international logistics company, and the recipient was Lao Ding.He wanted to tell Lao Ding that he was safe, and if Lao Ding could receive the package, he would naturally understand what he meant.

Winter is coming soon, a snow falls, and the streets are covered with white.He looked at the quieter street outside the window, and occasionally pedestrians passed by, and for the first time he had the urge to go out for a walk.Putting on a thick lambswool coat and a cashmere scarf covering half of his face, he kept his wallet and keys in his pockets. Like the locals who have lived here all his life, he dangled around at noon on a clear winter day. out the door.

The snow on the road was not thick, but it was soft and soft, like the floor of an apartment, and there was a slight creaking sound.Lin Shen was walking aimlessly. There were not many people on the road. An intercity bus came slowly and stopped at the stop sign. Without stopping, he turned around and got on the bus.

Choosing a seat by the window, Lin Shen relaxed and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.

The bus dangled on the snow-covered road for a long time, and the scene outside the bus gradually became lively.Lin Shen followed the crowd and got out of the car. After walking a few steps, he realized that he had reached the city center.This area is an old city, and there are still many centuries-old local characteristic buildings, with a strong artistic and cultural atmosphere. When Lin Shen and Li Jibai were studying abroad, they mostly worked in the commercial area near H University and rarely came here.

Yes, Lin Shen likes this place very much, and the city he and Li Jibai have studied in is still the city he chose to settle in country M this time.He's not hypocritical, and he doesn't deliberately avoid it. If he likes it, he likes it. Besides, this city is so big, if he hides it better, Li Jibai won't be able to find him.Or maybe, you won't find it at all!

People's hometown complex is a very strange emotion. Everyone's hometown has different references. Some references are homes, some references are people, and some references are stories. All because of special feelings And rise.In Lin Shen's heart, his hometown was born because of his love, and his hometown is here.

I didn't have a chance to visit the old city before, so let's take a good look today!

He was aimless and relaxed. When he saw a single building on the corner of the street, he was naturally attracted by the two Chinese characters "Liuguang" on it.

I searched on my mobile phone, and found that this is a gallery opened by a Chinese. After more than a year of operation, it has become the most high-profile private gallery in the local area with nearly one million visitors a year.

Hongbai has been involved in the art collection and operation business for a long time. Lin Shen was mainly responsible for this business when he was working, and he also majored in art appreciation in college. He did not expect to bump into this gallery by mistake when he went out today, and the owner of the gallery heard that It is said that it is also a Chinese painter who has emerged in recent years, so you have to go in anyway to have a look.

Make an appointment and register, today is not a day off, there are not many people, and the process is also very fast.Lin Shen had a lot of time to waste, so he simply bought a cup of hot chocolate, and enjoyed the works slowly while drinking.

He stood still in front of a huge oil painting. In the painting, the waves were churning, the rocks were jagged, and a blood-red rose was blooming on the cliff.The exuberant vitality and the boundless dark world tore out a strong tension, which seems to be able to draw people into the world in the painting.

The sense of shock stimulated the vision, and it also carried a kind of power to break the boat, contradictory and peaceful. Lin Shen was immersed in the painting, and even forgot to drink a cup of hot drink.

I couldn't help but take a step back, wanting to take a closer look at another angle from a distance, and bumped into a person as soon as I turned around.

The man didn't seem to expect Lin Shen to turn around suddenly, he was bumped unexpectedly, and a cup of hot drink was spilled on the white shirt. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Shen quickly apologized, "I was so fascinated by watching it just now, I didn't find anyone behind me, so I'm so sorry."

The man lowered his head and tugged on his horrific shirt, but he didn't seem to be annoyed.

Lin Shen just spoke in Chinese out of desperation. Seeing that the man didn't speak, he thought that the other party didn't understand, so he said it again in English: "Sir, I'm really sorry, I'll pay you for the shirt!"

Only then did the man raise his head, look at the apologetic young man in front of him, and smiled brightly, with an elegant and gentle voice accompanied by correct Chinese: "It's okay, this shirt is an old shirt, and it should be changed."

Lin Shen was stunned for a moment.

This person looked young, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle temperament. Although he was standing there covered in stains, he seemed to be clean from dust.Lin Shen's mind suddenly popped out a word that is both refined and popular: beautiful.

The man stretched out his hand and smiled deeper: "Hi, my name is Lu Qingchen, and I'm the author of this painting."

It turned out to be the author!Lin Shen turned his head instinctively, and quickly glanced at the nameplate on the lower right corner of the oil painting.

really.

Accidents and surprises made his eyes shine, "Hi, my name is Lu Ming, it's an honor to meet you." After that, he apologized again embarrassingly.

Lu Qingchen didn't seem to care, his every move was gentle and harmless, and his conversation made people extremely comfortable and relaxed. "What a coincidence, we have the same surname! I noticed you as soon as you came in. You seem to like my work very much. It's my honor."

He has been in the gallery today, and just after sending off a visiting group from abroad, he saw a tightly wrapped Asian man walking in.He went to the office once, and when he came out, he found that the Asian man was still meditating in front of his work, as if he hadn't moved.He couldn't help being curious, and walked over by a ghost, wanting to see what the man looked like.

As a result, people also saw it, and the clothes were stained.

It was a shirt custom-made for him by the person at home a few days ago, with his initials on the cuffs, and it was expensive.But Lin Shen's direct and frank apology, accompanied by sincere embarrassment, made him decide not to care about it for a moment, and the appearance of the family member who might be unhappy was also forgotten by him. White lie.

It's just a shirt, and the person in front of him is really good-looking.

Lu Qingchen knew that he was a face control, so he couldn't help tilting his head and showing a smile, and his youthful look flashed by.

"If you're really sorry, you can buy me coffee."

Naturally, Lin Shen couldn't ask for more.

Lu Qingchen went to his office to change into a new shirt, and chatted with Lin Shen in the corner of the coffee bar.

Lin Shen took off his scarf and coat, and only wore a round-neck beige sweater. His short hair brushed his forehead softly, looking thin and clean.Compared with him, Lu Qingchen is much more lively.The two chatted for a while, and they were unexpectedly speculative.Lu Qingchen also knew that his surname and Lu Ming's surname had only the same sound.

Lu Qingchen looks small, but he is actually one year older than Lin Shen.The two chatted from art to life, and before they knew it, it was dinner time.

A message came to Lu Qingchen's phone, he glanced at it, and quickly replied "I'm chatting with a new friend, I'll be home soon".The text messages from the other party came back crackling, questioning each sentence one after another, Lu Qingchen pouted, and turned the phone on the table, Chagang also checked too much, forget it, ignore him.

After talking for a while, the two left each other's contact information, and agreed to come to the gallery if they had the opportunity, and Lin Shen got up to say goodbye.

Lin Shen stayed at home for a few days after returning home, and then began to think about future plans.Meeting Lu Qingchen gave him inspiration, maybe he can continue to work in art and design in the future.He has the foundation and experience, and knows the market well, but the previous connections are no longer available.It doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't want to do big business or become a successful businessman, so he has no regrets.

After all, a free and controllable life is more precious than anything else.

In fact, Lin Shen has always been interested in design. He is still young, so it might be possible to start over.As soon as the idea came up, he immediately started to act.He plans to apply to a suitable school first, and sort out his thoughts while studying.

This city has a long history and is full of famous schools. Of course, he would not go to H University again. He soon chose another art school with a history of [-] years, not far from H University.

Lin Shen is not worried about being discovered, because he has graduated for four years, and besides Li Jibai, he has almost no friends when he was studying abroad, and he never participated in fellowship and club activities. He conscientiously played a qualified accompanying role.

After studying at H University for three years, his sense of existence is too weak.

Besides, he now has a new identity, Lin Shen will always stay in the past, he is now Lu Ming.He still has plenty of money, and when he stabilizes for a while, he will try to contact Lao Ding and find an opportunity to bring his grandmother here, and he will take care of his grandmother until she grows old here, and also spend his long life.

That's fine.

If you are more fortunate, you can have an ordinary job that you like, meet a few speculative friends, or be a little greedy, and have a lover who can accompany you home, a lover who is warm and cherishes, who will hold hands until the end of life, and enjoy each other in a simple way .

Every night when he comes home, there is always a light on, and he cooks a simple dinner, which can be fried rice with eggs, accompanied by soup, and occasionally a heavy spicy hot pot.The two sat at the dining table, talking about the interesting things of the day.Watching TV after dinner, lying on the bed after taking a shower, can kiss very tenderly, have sex without barriers, and hug each other frankly.

Think farther.

Lin Shen sneered, he might not deserve such a simple and happy life!

He can't bet all his good fortune on an imaginary partner.Li Jibai has given him too many negative teaching materials, and it is difficult to correct it in a short time. The normal life of ordinary people, such as mutual respect, such as mutual love, is a kind of luxury.

Anticipation and resistance, excitement and pessimism.
