When the cake and gifts were delivered to Qi's house, Qi Linqing was practicing drawing in the study.
Yan Qiongfang knocked on the door cautiously.
A moment later, the door opened.
Qi Linqing looked at her and said, "What's the matter?"
Yan Qiongfang's eyes fell on the black ink marks on the young man's wrist, and it was the first time that she felt that it was her own problem.
She didn't even know that her own son could paint traditional Chinese paintings.
"Dinner is ready," Yan Qiongfang said warmly, "Your brother even bought you a cake to celebrate, come down and eat."
Qi Linqing shook her head for a moment before realizing belatedly that the brother she was talking about was Qi Yingjun.
"good."
He turned around and went to the bathroom first, and washed some soap carefully.
The cold water rushes over the fingertips.
half an hour.
He turned off the tap and took a towel from the rack to wipe off the water.
Qi Linqing looked up at the strange but familiar face in the glasses, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
…
The bedroom next door.
Qi Lele had just rushed home from the crew of "Tangyue Fengyun".
He was physically exhausted, but he was still very clear-headed, so he simply lay on the bed and turned on his mobile phone to browse Weibo.
Today, because Qi Linqing won the award, he was also mentioned in the trending searches.
But fortunately, they all praised him.
Although there are more praises for Qi Linqing's appearance...
He unconsciously pursed his lips.
While browsing the comments, Qi Lele suddenly felt his right eyelid twitch.
He put down his phone, feeling an ominous premonition inexplicably.
Qi Lele quickly got out of bed and opened the wardrobe.
The painting inside is really gone!
His pupils shrank suddenly, and he almost stopped breathing.
His first reaction was whether Qi Linqing had discovered it.
Then the other party will definitely sue their parents.
Boom boom boom.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Qi Lele hesitated for a moment, and went to open the door.
After seeing Yan Qiongfang's friendly smile outside the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that parents don't know yet.
Yan Qiongfang beamed with joy: "Lele, hurry up and have dinner, let's celebrate your brother winning the big prize tonight!"
"Yeah." He also smiled. Close the door and walk out.
At the dinner table, the whole family is already sitting.
Qi Linqing remained expressionless as always, only eating seriously.
Qi Yingjun loosened his tie, raised his head and saw Qi Lele, his eyes averted a little.
At that moment, Qi Lele understood.
The other party betrayed himself.
He took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.
Since his parents didn't know, he still had a chance to win the round before Qi Linqing filed a complaint.
Qi Lele's tone trembled slightly: "Dad, Mom, I want to confess something to you."
Qi Hui and Yan Qiongfang looked at him in surprise.
Qi Lele: "The last time I entered the study, I accidentally spilled the coffee and poured it on Brother Linqing's painting."
Qi Hui's eyes dimmed slightly.
Yan Qiongfang said "ah".
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Qi Yingjun looked surprised, he didn't expect him to admit it voluntarily.
Qi Lele turned to look at Qi Linqing, and said bitterly: "I really didn't do it on purpose. Brother, can you forgive me?"
Qi Linqing acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and didn't even give him a look.
Qi Lele: "Uh, it doesn't matter if you don't want me..."
The more Qi Yingjun listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel that what Lele said was a bit teasing?
Qi Linqing still didn't speak.
Qi Lele still wanted to continue: "Brother Linqing..."
Even Qi Linqing couldn't bear to look at the other party's face, and said:
"Can you shut up? You're making noise in my eyes."
He didn't know that the words and sentences he composed unintentionally actually have a very strong yin and yang flavor in modern times.
"..."
There was a dead silence at the dinner table.
Qi Yingjun has already dug out a villa with his toes in the slippers for Qi Lele's embarrassment.
It was Yan Qiongfang who smoothed things over: "It's okay, it's okay, Lele, don't blame yourself, Linqing can draw another one."
Qi Linqing: "No need, the painting has been rescued."
Yan Qiongfang continued to persuade: "Look, isn't this all right? Brothers should be in harmony..."
Qi Hui first raised his hand and pressed it, signaling his wife not to speak.
At home, people all over the country saw a joke because two people robbed the master bedroom in "Metamorphosis".
Since then, Qi Hui has clearly demarcated their scope of activities. For example, the study on the second floor is exclusive to Qi Linqing.
He looked at Qi Lele and said, "I want to ask, did you get his permission to go to Linqing's study?"
Qi Lele's face flushed like a tomato, "I...I forgot."
Qi Hui can't doubt it: "Then don't explain, this is indeed your mistake."
Qi Lele was stunned.
Ever since he was a child, he has been the pampered youngest son raised by the Qi family.
It was the first time for Qi Lele to hear Qi Hui speak to herself in such a strong tone.
Qi Hui said in a deep voice, "What should I do if I did something wrong?"
"Apologize."
This is tutoring.
Qi Lele immediately turned her head, turned to Qi Linqing, and said "I'm sorry".
Qi Linqing didn't respond, just wiped his mouth hastily, stood up and left:
"I'm done eating."
Qi Hui couldn't help calling him back, "Well, Lele apologized to you. You...won't you say a few words?"
It means to think so far.
From the perspective of parents, they have raised Qi Lele since they were young, and they have deep feelings, and it is normal for them to be unconsciously biased.
Qi Linqing paused slightly, turned to look at them, and asked:
"Can any mistake in this world be covered up with an sorry?"
If the financial situation allows, Qi Linqing wants to move out.
Qi Yingjun almost wanted to applaud, but he almost withdrew his hand, thinking that this sentence really made sense.
Qi Lele's face instantly changed from red to white, and then from white to blue again, the change was wonderful.
Qi Hui and Yan Qiongfang couldn't speak at all, they could only watch him go upstairs in a daze.
The cake on the table remained untouched, and then they remembered that Linqing was supposed to celebrate tonight.
Qi Lele can hide her emotions well in front of outsiders, but not in front of the person she likes.
The next day, in the dressing room of the crew of "Tangyue Fengyun".
He complained to Fu Hanri about what happened last night.
Qi Lele thought that her fiancé would be on her side, but unexpectedly, Fu Hanri was very rational, and concluded:
"You really shouldn't have been in his room."
Qi Lele was both disappointed and wronged. Why even my lover is on Qi Linqing's side now
He knew he had done something wrong, but he just wanted Fu Hanri to speak up for him.
That day he didn't even care about filming, and had a quarrel with Fu Hanri, and left with his assistant on the spot.
Fu Hanri was helpless.
Overall, Qi Lele is considered a perfect lover. But he is still young after all, and there is a generation gap between the two.
Occasionally, Fu Hanri feels a little tired of this love affair with a big age gap.
But seeing the news of Qi Linqing winning the award these two days, Fu Hanri can understand his lover's anger.
But honestly he regretted it.
A while ago, because I heard my lover's complaints, I was so hot-headed that I accused and questioned Qi Linqing.
It turned out that the opponent was a character obtained by relying on his true talent, so he was slapped in the face.
Last time the director gave him the original film about Qi Linqing's painting.
Fu Hanri sat alone in the screening room and watched it for a long, long time, with burning pain on his face.
Given his current age and status, it would be embarrassing to experience this feeling again.
It really doesn't matter if you fall in love.
After this battle, Fu Hanri felt himself sober up a lot.
Although it may cause Lele to be angry, it is a good thing for him.
On weekends, Qi Linqing reads at home.
Ji Youguang called specifically to urge him to sign up for the Mo Cup Provincial Chinese Painting Competition.
He took the time to inform the other party of his personal information by the way.
Then Qi Linqing received a call from Du Yuanbai:
"Come out to play? Congratulations on your big prize! I'll treat you to a big meal hehe."
He put down the book and replied "OK".
It's not that he wants to go out to play, but Qi Linqing plans to buy a handy brush after receiving a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
Many painters have the hobby of collecting brushes and painting tools, and he is no exception.
No matter how poor and difficult he was in his previous life, Qi Linqing always had a cowhide brush in hand.
And he would rather suffer himself than take it to a pawn shop and sell it for money.
Two hours later, Qi Linqing and Du Yuanbai made an appointment to meet at Antique Street.
Du Yuanbai complained again: "Can we go to a normal place next time?"
Qi Linqing asked: "Then what do you think is normal?"
Du Yuanbai counted with his fingers: "Shopping malls, ktv, bars..."
Qi Linqing interrupted him: "I don't think it's normal."
Du Yuanbai: "..."
you've changed.
He still remembers that Qi Linqing fell in love with Zhong Chen at first sight when he went to a bar.
There are several shops in the Antique Street that sell writing brushes, inkstones, etc. The goods are good, but the prices are a bit expensive.
Qi Linqing first went to his uncle Qiao Zhou's shop to say hello to him.
When Qiao Zhou saw him, he was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him, "Come in, uncle will make you some tea!"
In the past two days, Qiao Zhou also saw the news that the other party won the city's traditional Chinese painting competition.
This made him more certain that Qi Linqing's leak of ancient paintings that day was definitely not due to luck.
Qi Linqing: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao."
As soon as Du Yuanbai walked in, he looked around.
Qiao Zhou made tea for them and chatted for a while.
Qi Linqing casually mentioned that he was going to buy a pen later.
Qiao Zhou patted his chest immediately and said:
"I'm familiar with this place, I'll take you shopping later! With my face, I promise to give you a discount."
Qi Linqing was kind and generous: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao."
Although he is usually silent, his ability to know people is not weak.
The uncle of the original owner is very similar to some people in the world he has met, and it is worth making friends with.
Then Qiao Zhou took them shopping.
Qiao Zhou originally thought that Qi Linqing was young and thin-skinned, and that he might just swallow his anger if he was slaughtered.
He has to help his nephew.
But I didn't expect that Qi Linqing had a vicious eye for discerning goods, and even set the price in a set way, with so many tricks that even made Qiao Zhou feel ashamed.
Du Yuanbai was even more stunned watching from the sidelines.
It was the first time he saw someone bargaining, and he was able to do it well.
In this store, Qi Linqing finally chose a lot of pens and added a high-quality antique inkstone.
We can't blame him for being extravagant, art is all about burning money, and traditional Chinese painting is no exception.
Otherwise, how do you say that many of the great painters who have been passed down in history were born in the court
Brushes are divided into long, center and short based on the length of their strokes, with different performances.
According to the size of the pen, it is divided into small, medium and large models. Among them, it is subdivided into sheep hair, wolf hair, etc...
Qiao Zhou rushed to pay, but Qi Linqing quickly refused.
With so many items, Qi Linqing's wallet was completely emptied at the checkout.
In the end, there happened to be two steel coins left, so he bought a bottle of Nongfu Spring mineral water.
Du Yuanbai was stunned, "The 10,000 yuan bonus you just got was spent like this?"
Qi Linqing: "Well...."
Du Yuanbai: "Brother, you bargain so hard, but your financial situation is worrying. Maybe you should learn how to manage money."
Qi Linqing fell into deep thought.
In the past, although the young apprentice had a fixed monthly bill, he was very good at laying eggs like a hen with a small amount of money, doubling it and doubling it again.
And him? He just seems to spend money.
Qi Linqing suddenly understood why he was always poor in his previous life.
The author has something to say: Low EQ: Hurry up and enroll in a financial management course.
High EQ: You should marry a wife who knows how to manage money (such as a young apprentice)
