Delicacy

Within two days, the oolong matter of the love letter was sorted out by Lian Xiao. As for the specific method he used, Qin Yuanmu didn't bother to ask.Since Lian Xiao has vowed that there will be no next time, Qin Yuanmu will spare him this time, but Qin Yuanmu has recorded his answer, and if similar things happen again, he will educate Lian Xiao about love .

When the last single-clothed warrior on campus put on his coat, Qin Yuanmu came to Tang Qi's office again and brought his latest work.

After a brief greeting, Tang Qi picked up Qin Yuanmu's painting, seeing Tang Qi's serious expression, Qin Yuanmu was also in a state of turmoil.Different from studying, he has become more and more aware of painting recently. Tang Qi is the most authoritative painting authority among the people he knows. Qin Yuanmu naturally wants to hear praise and encouragement from him.

Tang Qi flipped through one by one: "There is indeed a lot of improvement compared to before, but there are still some low-level problems... The shadows in this one are too heavy, the proportions of this one are out of balance, and this one, the composition is completely wrong. ..."

Every time Tang Qi said a word, Qin Yuanmu's head lowered a little. I'm afraid that all his teachers since he was a child would never have imagined that one day Qin Yuanmu would accept criticism just like elementary school students who made mistakes.

Although Tang Qi's tone did not mean to blame him, but only pointed out his shortcomings, Qin Yuanmu still felt a little hot on his face.Just when Tang Qi turned to the last one, Qin Yuanmu already had the idea of ​​running away.These paintings can still be called good in the eyes of laymen, but Tang Qi can tell at a glance that Qin Yuanmu's brushwork is still very green and the lines are not smooth enough.

"This..." Tang Qi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, he took off his glasses and looked carefully, "Did you draw this too?"

Different from the previous simple still lifes, this painting is actually Qin Yuanmu's essay. It shows a boy sitting with his forehead propped up, which is obviously Lian Xiao.This was drawn secretly by Qin Yuanmu when Lian Xiao was frowning at the roll of paper in a previous class.

Tang Qi smiled lightly: "The brushwork in this painting is done in one go. I didn't expect you to be able to outline the characters so finely like ordinary still life paintings."

That's right, the focus of this painting is on that arm. Qin Yuanmu has drawn this arm no less than dozens of times, and it is always more vivid than other parts.

"Anyway, the overall progress is still great." Tang Qi put down the painting, "I think you have studied the books I recommended to you seriously. As far as the last picture of the figure is concerned, although there are minor flaws, You are better than the average art student, you really are quite talented."

Qin Yuanmu forced a smile: "Thank you teacher, I will definitely work harder when I go back. Teacher, can I learn to draw with my seniors now? I can't learn painting at all in the classroom every day, so it's better to practice in the studio as soon as possible."

This is true. Sitting next to Lian Xiao every day, it is no wonder that he has the desire to learn.

Tang Qi was aroused by his last painting, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and refused: "You should focus more on your studies now, at least master the basic knowledge of each subject. As for Go to the studio, they have already started to practice color, you are new to sketching, you will definitely be greedy if you go directly to learn color... Well, wait until next semester, if you let me see your progress, I will make an exception Let you enter the studio to study in advance."

Qin Yuanmu nodded, he was still confident in his progress in painting.

In the end, Tang Qi seemed to see through his mind, and said with a smile: "The improvement in painting is only one of them, and your culture class should also move forward, at least... you should get out of the bottom ten."

When Qin Yuanmu heard this, his head got dizzy. He was the last one and wanted to leave the bottom ten, which was as unbelievable as Lian Xiao's plan to enter Peking University.

Looking at Qin Yuanmu's expression, Tang Qi smiled and took a sip of tea: "I've seen your report card, and it's actually not that different from the dozen or so people in front of you, as long as you memorize the simplest knowledge points. Yuanmu Ah, you learn painting for the exam, if the cultural class is still like this, there is no point in learning."

Qin Yuanmu nodded: "Understood the teacher, I will try my best."

Older people will inevitably chatter, Tang Qi continued: "This is not just for the exam, if you want to show your painting talent in the future, you have to go to a good school to find a good teacher, the platform is also It's very important. In short, work harder."

Walking out of Tang Qi's office, Qin Yuanmu was shivered by the cold wind.The past few weeks were still extremely hot, but Qin Yuanmu would not be surprised if it snowed directly at this ghostly temperature. The cooling rate this year is indeed a bit sharp.

Back in the classroom, although there is no heating or anything, at least there are more people and it is much warmer than outside.The unattended self-study class was once again reduced to a vegetable market. The students in the next few rows were happily communicating with the people around them, and they didn't know where they were talking so much.Lian Xiao was the only exception among this group of people. He was looking at the exercises seriously, his movements were exactly the same as those in Qin Yuanmu's drawing, and he encountered a problem that he didn't understand again.

But when Lian Xiao turned his head and saw Qin Yuanmu coming back, he closed the exercise as if he was going to listen to a ghost story.It seems that Lian Xiao's so-called combination of work and rest means that he can only study when Qin Yuanmu is not around.

Qin Yuanmu stuffed the painting scroll into the drawer before sitting down. He was actually quite afraid that Lian Xiao would find out that he had stolen the painting from him, not because he was afraid that Lian Xiao would be angry, but he felt that his behavior was a bit idiotic.

Seeing that he didn't take the earphones for a long time, Lian Xiao asked, "Why are you in a daze, are you going to play it outside today?"

Qin Yuanmu stared at him for a long time, and Lian Xiao was at a loss for what to do. He wondered if it was some black heart who wrote him a love letter?Qin Yuanmu said slowly after a while: "Don't listen to ghost stories for night self-study in the future, you can help me study."

"..." Lian Xiao didn't know where to complain, did Qin Yuanmu have a sex change?And even let him tutor, is this mocking him?

After hearing this, Wang Ya also joined in the fun: "Brother, what stimulated you when you went out?"

Qin Yuanmu ignored Wang Ya, but looked at the shocked Lian Xiao and said, "Did you forget what you said before? Let's go to college together, hurry up and tutor me, at least let me despise you in terms of grades." my brother."

"That's what you said..." Lian Xiao scratched his head, "But isn't this too sudden for you?"

Qin Yuanmu snatched the exercises on his desk and opened them: "Stop talking nonsense, teach me quickly, this is a rare moment for you to despise me. Or do you know nothing like me?"

"A little bit, I can only teach you the most basic questions." Lian Xiao frowned, and at the same time regretted that he didn't study hard at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't miss this great opportunity to laugh at Qin Yuanmu.

Seeing that these two people actually talked about it like this, Wang Ya's eyes almost popped out. Even Qin Yuanmu knew how to study. What happened to this world?But soon Wang Ya discovered that this world was still her original world.

"...Just talk about the topic, can you stop touching my leg?"

"Who told you to get so close, I'm used to it."

"...Do you understand? Listen carefully, don't stare at my hand in a daze!"

"Isn't it because your hands are so cute?"

Wang Ya flicked her mobile phone, found a bitter article and read it. Sure enough, her brother is not a serious person. Fortunately, she was surprised just now, so hurry up and pay for her glasses!

In the next few days, the daily night self-study came like this, and Wang Ya's scalp was numb by Qin Yuanmu and Lian Xiao's Xiu Enaixiu who was called a study name.What was even more frightening was that after the results of another monthly exam came out, Wang Ya discovered that this incredible learning method was actually effective.Of course, it may also be that Qin Yuanmu's grades are too poor, and he can make great progress on the previous basis by just learning something.

On the Saturday after the monthly exam, Qin Yuanmu and Lian Xiao walked side by side to the school gate.Qin Yuanmu held his report card with a very satisfied expression: "It seems that you are still somewhat useful, and I have only improved by three places."

Yes, with the help of Teacher Lian, Qin Yuanmu has changed from the bottom one to the bottom four, which can be called a miracle in the education field.

Lian Xiao got used to his contemptuous compliments, snorted and said with a smile: "I'm far behind you." Lian Xiao's frequency of listening to lectures in class has also increased recently, and fortunately, his grades have also improved. It shows that this is his best result since he entered the class, and it can barely be said to be at the middle level.

"Your progress is also due to me," Qin Yuanmu boasted without shame, "When you give me lectures, you are also strengthening yourself. Tell me, how do you reward me?"

Lian Xiao pushed him a bit: "You are ungrateful! Do you want me to reward you with a fart?"

"No fart, butt." Qin Yuanmu began to play hooligans in broad daylight.

Lian Xiao's face turned dark immediately, and he looked around in fear. Fortunately, the students around were immersed in the joy of returning home, even if they heard Qin Yuanmu's words, they only took them as a joke.Lian Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, he felt that he and Qin Yuanmu were really lucky, and that Tian Tian was so blatantly playing hooligans and flirting without being discovered by anyone.

"Okay, your family is here to pick you up, I'm leaving." Lian Xiao planned to leave Qin Yuanmu temporarily, because the conversation just now was too dangerous.

Qin Yuanmu nodded, looking at the old place where Qin Dayong was waiting for him, he was actually occupied by a strange car, and Qin Dayong was not around.

"Wait," Qin Yuanmu grabbed Lian Xiao and took out his phone, "I seem to be able to go to your house for lunch, but my dad didn't come to pick me up and I didn't say anything in advance. What a surprise."

Lian Xiao looked at Qin Yuanmu with complicated eyes, wanting to scold Qin Dayong for his unfilial son.

It took Qin Dayong a long time to answer the phone, and before he could speak, he broke out into a violent cough, and he knew without looking that he must be smoking.

"Dad, are you okay, where are you?" Qin Yuanmu said while searching for Qin Dayong's figure in the crowd.

"It's okay, it's...in the hospital..." Qin Dayong's tone was a bit vague, obviously he intended to fool Qin Yuanmu, but he had no experience in lying, so he changed his words abruptly.

Qin Yuanmu frowned: "Hospital? What's wrong with you?"

"It's a small matter. If you catch a cold, just take a bottle..." Qin Dayong's tone was not bad, and he was very energetic, "Oh, I forgot! Today is Saturday, right? I forgot to tell you, you can go eat by yourself , I can't pick you up."

Qin Yuanmu nodded, and then realized that Qin Dayong couldn't see it, so he could only respond: "Yes, good. Pay attention to your health, there are quite a lot of people who have caught a cold in this weather recently."

When Qin Dayong heard his son's long-lost words of concern, he jumped out of the receiver with an excited tone: "Well, don't worry about me, Dad. Go and eat quickly, and eat something good." Hearing his son's concern, even if It's okay to prick him two more times.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuanmu spread his hands: "I have nowhere to go, so go to your house."

"Let's go." Lian Xiao helplessly led the way.

Lian Xiao squeezed into the crowd with Qin Yuanmu and said, "Is your father quite fierce? I heard he has such a loud voice and a bad temper, right?"

Qin Yuanmu took advantage of the chaos and took Lian Xiao's hand: "Fortunately, I have a big temper, but I dote on me very much."

Lian Xiao frowned and thought, what kind of state is it to be tempered and spoiled?After thinking about it, Lian Xiao suddenly realized that Qin Yuanmu seemed to be in this state... Thinking of this, Lian Xiao couldn't help but clenched Qin Yuanmu's palm.

Feeling the change in his palm, Qin Yuanmu's heart suddenly trembled, looked at Lian Xiao and said in a low voice: "Just now my dad asked me to eat something good, can you give it to me?"

Lian Xiao's face was covered with black lines, and he swung Qin Yuanmu's dog's paw away.

Qin Yuanmu smiled, pushed away the crowd and chased after Lian Xiao.This season is about to cool down, and there are indeed a lot of people who catch a cold, so Qin Yuanmu didn't have any doubts about Qin Dayong's words.But in fact, Qin Dayong's condition is much more serious than a cold.

In a ward of the Central Hospital, three or five middle-aged people were sitting around the bed puffing, completely ignoring the no-smoking sign on the wall.And the patient who was surrounded by them not only did not stop them, but even joined their lineup.

Qin Dayong took a puff of cigarette happily, Qin Yuanmu hung up the phone for a long time, he still stared at the dimmed screen and smiled.This scene appeared in the ward, no matter how you look at it, it violates harmony.

Although the people around him were also smoking, their expressions were not as relaxed as Qin Dayong's.One of the people wearing glasses put down the fruit basket in his hand with lingering fear: "Old Qin, don't worry, I almost scared me to death just now."

Everyone chattered and began to interrupt, finally explaining the accident that happened before.

At noon today, Qin Dayong originally planned to invite a few friends from the business field to have a gathering. Before the banquet, the guests and hosts had a great time, but before the hot dishes were served, Qin Dayong suddenly collapsed clutching his stomach.At that time, his face was as pale as Dabai on the wall, and a group of people rushed him to the hospital, but luckily his life was not in danger.

Qin Dayong forced another cigarette into the teacup full of cigarette butts, and there was an unpleasant burnt smell: "Don't worry about me, old man, it's just pancreatitis, it's an old problem."

The person who just spoke said again: "Old problems are the most frightening people... And the doctor said that pancreatitis is not terrible, what is terrible is the complications it causes. You can avoid smoking and bars in the future."

"That's right, I don't need to put my life on the line about business, after all, I'm not a young man anymore."

"It's not so bad, Lao Qin, you have gray hair now..."

Qin Dayong listened to the concern of his friends, nodded perfunctorily, thinking that if I don't fight, what will my wife and children eat?Looking down at his pale face reflected on the phone screen, he laughed again: "Did you hear just now, that bastard in my family knows that he cares about me, he has really grown up..."

"That's right, we're all getting old in a blink of an eye..." a person spoke up.

As soon as this remark came out, it was considered to have completely opened up the conversation box. A group of elders started a heated discussion in the ward, and they all used a disdainful tone to criticize their own children, but the content seemed to be showing off.For a while, the ward was very lively, and there was no smell of life and death in the hospital on weekdays.

Qin Dayong was not to be outdone, because Qin Yuanmu had just performed "in front of" everyone, and because Qin Dayong was sick, everyone let him go, and finally won the first place in this talk battle.When everyone dispersed, Qin Dayong was still on the bed, laughing foolishly, his movements of touching cigarettes were so vigorous that he didn't look like a patient, and he was quite a bit of a knight-errant.

But the smile on Qin Dayong's face didn't last long, and then gradually dissipated, but he wasn't worried about his illness.Today he invited a few old friends to dinner, and he wanted to get rid of his old face and borrow some money, but the sudden illness disrupted his plan. Now that he wanted to speak again, Qin Dayong always felt that those words seemed to be stuck in his throat. I can't say anything.

In the end, Qin Dayong's eyes fell on the cigarette butt at his fingertips, thinking silently: Is the cigarette he is smoking now a bit high-grade...
