Qi Linqing's gaze fell on Zhong Chen's slightly raised mouth, and he fell silent.
In fact, he never thought about the relationship between himself and the other party in terms of liking.
They also read ancient books and love art, and they have too many similarities with each other.
He thought they were friends, confidants.
He never thought that Zhong Chen would confess to himself.
Seeing that Qi Linqing remained silent, Zhong Chen's smile gradually froze.
Even though the air conditioner was not turned on high, the temperature inside the car suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Before opening his mouth to express his feelings, Zhong Chen was already prepared to be rejected.
But there was still a little hope in his heart.
But now, the last trace of hope has vanished.
"Of course, we can stay friends for a while if you don't want to," he said.
Qi Linqing nodded and said, "Okay."
This simple word nearly broke Zhong Chen's heart.
If Qi Linqing kept a sense of distance from him from the beginning to the end like in his previous life, maybe he would still fall into it, but he wouldn't have so many wild thoughts.
In the final analysis, it was because Qi Linqing was too kind to him.
In the eyes of the other party, this kind of goodness is just a "friend", which caused him to misunderstand too deeply.
Zhong Chen looked at him, "So I am a friend to you, is that all?"
Qi Linqing frowned slightly, her voice was hoarse and cold: "I think you are more like a special existence to me."
Countless thoughts in Zhong Chen's mind were fleeting, and his chaotic thoughts exploded because of the word "special".
He felt groggy. Like drinking.
"Then, it's not just friends." He subconsciously moved closer.
Qi Linqing said: "It's a special friend."
Zhong Chen: "..."
A huge embarrassment envelops him tightly like a giant net woven.
It seemed as if he had just summoned up the courage to take a step, but he had no choice but to take it back; the words welled up in his throat, he hesitated to speak, but he couldn't say it.
"oh."
His movements froze in mid-air. He could only turn around and sit upright, not looking sideways.
Zhong Chen didn't fail to notice that the eyes of the people beside him stayed on him afterwards.
Zhong Chen: [My confession failed]
When Jiang Bai received this news, he was playing games on the bed with his legs crossed.
He regained consciousness in an instant, and quickly typed back: [What's going on? ! ]
Zhong Chen: [I shouldn't have listened to your direct confession. Every time you come up with a bad idea]
At this time, Zhong Chen also regretted why he had to believe in the idea of Jiang Bai, a dog-headed military division.
Jiang Bai: [? ? ? ]
Jiang Bai: [Where is there]
Zhong Chen: [Last time you asked me to create a small account to add him, but he was blocked]
Jiang Bai: [Uh, it seems that there is such a thing [wiping sweat]]
Zhong Chen: [. ]
Jiang Bai: [Don't be discouraged, a man like Brother Qi who is so hard to chase, once you move your heart, your good days will come]
Now Qi Linqing's popularity is obvious to all. Not only did he have many fans online, but he also had countless men and women who tried to pursue him in school before.
But he never pretended to speak, as if he hadn't activated the cellular brain program for love at all.
The school rumored that Qi Linqing still had a crush on Zhong Chen and couldn't forget Zhong Chen.
But only Jiang Bai and others know that this is fake.
It's clear that the boss of the family is madly in love with Qi Linqing, and he is about to go mad because he can't love her.
Zhong Chen: [Pay attention to your words]
What the hell is a good day
Jiang Bai: [Sorry Brother Zhong, I have no culture]
Zhong Chen: [. ]
Jiang Bai: [I checked the horoscope for you. Brother Qi was born on April 23, and he is a Taurus. You are a Scorpio and your speed-matching rate is 80 percent. ]
Zhong Chen also learned some knowledge about constellations while surfing the Internet.
But Scorpio is the attribute of the original owner.
According to his birthday in his previous life, he should be a Virgo.
Zhong Chen: [What is the speed-dating rate of Virgo and Qi Linqing? ]
Jiang Bai: [Wait a minute, I'll check]
Jiang Bai: [One hundred percent, it is a predestined fate]
fate.
This word made Zhong Chen's heart throb a little.
Thinking about it now, it is already an extremely wonderful fate for him and Qi Linqing to travel from Tang Dynasty to this novel of the 21st century.
Qi Linqing returned home and prepared to go to the studio downstairs to draw as usual.
He went into the kitchen first to pour water.
Cai Ji was also there, bending over to wash the fruit in front of the sink.
"Brother Qi, do you want to eat?" Cai Ji shook the strawberry in his hand.
It's not strawberry season.
Looking at the glowing red fruit, Qi Linqing suddenly remembered that Zhong Chen also liked to eat it.
"No." He shook his head.
Cai Ji shrugged, "Okay."
Qi Linqing picked up the glass and the kettle, and when pouring water, he couldn't help but think of what Zhong Chen said to him today.
-I like you.
— Shall we try together
Every expression of the other party is so clear.
"Brother Qi! You've poured out all the water." Cai Ji screamed suddenly, bringing him back to reality.
Qi Linqing came back to his senses, and wiped off the water stains with a towel.
Cai Ji looked at him with some confusion.
"It's okay." Qi Linqing looked away, and left the kitchen with water.
He went back to the basement, but he was restless all night and didn't draw much at all.
When it was almost ten o'clock, he received a message from Zhong Chen.
Zhong Chen: [Are you going to sleep]
Life is like tea: [No, I am still drawing]
Zhong Chen: [Huh? You were usually ready to sleep by this point before]
Life is like tea: [The efficiency is very low today]
Zhong Chen: [Why]
After this message was sent, there was no reply for a long time.
Just when Zhong Chen thought that the other party would not reply and was about to send "good night" to end the conversation.
Life is like tea: [Because of you. ]
Boom, boom, boom boom.
Zhong Chen's face warmed up in an instant.
In the quiet bedroom, at this moment, he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
One louder than one.
Zhong Chen pulled up the quilt and typed quickly:
[It's over, I won't be able to sleep]
Life is like tea: [Huh? ]
Zhong Chen: [also because of you]
Qi Linqing stared at the new news that popped up on the phone screen, and his face softened a little unconsciously.
Life is like tea: [sorry]
Zhong Chen: [? ]
Zhong Chen: [Apologizing is useless unless you come to sleep with me]
Life is like tea: [Sleep with you? ]
Zhong Chen is confident: [Yes, I am used to sleeping next to you in the studio]
The other party did not reply.
Zhong Chen was not surprised.
After teasing, he covered the quilt, put down his phone, and turned over.
He rolled several times on the bed excitedly.
After half an hour, there was a knock on the door.
Zhong Chen got up and went to open the door.
Mother Zhong looked at him with an ambiguous expression, and said, "Chenchen, your classmate came to look for you in the middle of the night, and he is at the door now."
classmate
Which classmate?
Zhong Chen almost ran downstairs at a galloping speed.
He snapped open the villa door.
The person standing outside the door was Qi Linqing.
"What are you doing here?" He could hardly control the corners of his mouth.
Qi Linqing raised his mobile phone and said, "I'll sleep with you."
Because it was very late, the lights in Zhong's villa were basically dimmed.
Zhong Chen pulled Qi Linqing and walked up the steps with the light of his mobile phone.
He deliberately did not turn on the light.
In this way, Qi Linqing couldn't see clearly, so he could only follow him.
The emotional atmosphere in the dark night was surging, Zhong Chen didn't know why he was a little nervous.
He was holding Qi Linqing's sleeve, but he didn't notice that he tripped.
A big hand wrapped around his waist in the next moment, and the ambiguous breath of the person beside him passed by.
"Be careful." Qi Linqing helped him up and took his hand naturally.
Zhong Chen: "..."
His heart is broken now.
Fortunately, taking advantage of the thick night, the other party should not be able to see his blushing face clearly.
At last he went upstairs and into the bedroom.
Qi Linqing noticed that there was an extra painting covered with a white cloth in the room.
He didn't think much about it, he thought it was Zhong Chen's usual exercises.
"Have you taken a shower?" Zhong Chen asked.
Qi Linqing shook his head.
Zhong Chen pointed to the door on the left side of the room, and said, "The bathroom is here."
Qi Linqing: "Then I'll take a shower first."
"Wait." Zhong Chen called him, and found a large shirt and new underwear from the closet, "You can wear mine first."
Qi Linqing: "OK."
When he came out of the shower, the lights in the bedroom were already dark, only a bedside lamp was on.
With his back facing him, Zhong Chen curled up under the quilt, breathing calmly, as if he had already fallen asleep.
Qi Linqing walked forward with her slippers that didn't fit her feet, and accidentally stepped on the white cloth.
The white cloth was very slippery, and it slanted down like silk in an instant.
Qi Linqing glanced down and was stunned.
Because this painting is exactly the "Luhua Dongyue Lake" written by him.
Later, the Palace Museum sent people to the Alaska auction to try to take Fu Yi's "Luhuadongyuehu".
But they failed in the end.
A mysterious seller is asking too much.
After this incident was exposed, it immediately caused a storm in the city, and the media from all over the world were discussing this incident enthusiastically.
International news: #华夏名画 "Luhuadongyuehu" is now in the world and was bought by a mysterious rich man at a high price! #
"Los Angeles Times": #Alaska auction that made history#
"Tokyo Express": #岛国名家collector once again meets the painting master Fu Yimi#
Hot search on Sina: #华夏国宝在Alaska干着从XX万亿天的价格#
The people of the country are sorry, and the comments are dissatisfied.
The directors of the provincial museums who raised funds at the beginning were even more disappointed.
But it is said that the seller of "Luhuadongyuehu" is also from Huaxia. It may be of Chinese origin, but at least it has not flowed into the hands of foreigners.
This morning, the staff of the Palace Museum suddenly received a call.
"Hello, I would like to donate an ancient painting."
The staff didn't think so at first, you can enter the Palace Museum casually as any antique.
"Sir, we will give you the contact information here, you can contact the Antiquities Research Institute of City B..."
"Okay, shall I contact them directly?"
"Yes." The staff paused, and asked casually, "What is the ancient painting you want to donate?"
The other party replied: "Fu Yi's "Luhua Cave Moon Lake"."
Slap.
The staff looked shocked, and they dropped their landlines in fright.
No one expected that this regrettable legendary painting would return to the Huaxia Museum after going through twists and turns.
the next day.
"People's Daily": #Mysterious Rich Donate "Luhuadongyuehu" to the Palace Museum! #
#One week later Fu Yi's "Luhuadongyuehu" will be open to the public for exhibition#
[Fuck]
[This mysterious rich man turned out to be from China]
[He spent xx billion, so rich! ! ]
[I wonder who the hell he is]
