After a tattoo exhibition, Zhou Sin suddenly became noisy here. The photos at the exhibition have been circulated several times on social platforms, and the address of their store is not a secret. There are many visitors from other places who come here to get tattoos for Zhou Sin, and there are even more of them.
One of them is the cutting-edge technology. In addition, the tattoo exhibition is located next to the organizer. In the past, the current price was upwards of 5,000. Not to mention the level of Zhou Sin, it was more than double the difference. The price difference of a big picture is hundreds of thousands, even if you buy a plane ticket and fly over, it is worth it.
Xu Wenlai has no pressure at the front desk. The number of people who come every day is limited, and they usually make appointments by WeChat or phone in advance. It's good for the little girl to read gossip and do manicures every day. During this time, there are many people who suddenly come, and she is a little confused.
These people in their shop have been with Zhou Sin for too long, and they are used to making appointments with a fixed number of customers every day. They are busy talking about pictures or doing tattoos. Not to mention Lu Xiaobei and Xu Wen, even the other tattoo artists in the shop are not so happy. They are not short of customers when they come to Zhou Xun. Tattoos are not like cooking in a restaurant, no matter how many people come. That's it, what they do is that no matter how many people come, they can only do one at a time. Since I've been in Zhou Sin all the time, it's still the right surname, it's the one that's not too public, and the schedule has been scheduled for two months.
The people who come here are not just customers, there are also colleagues in the industry who want to observe and communicate, and there are many tattoo artists in the circle who want to come to visit the shop and learn from Zhou Xun. Some people are willing to spend money, and even said to Zhou Sin: "You can start a class and accept apprentices. The tuition fee is all you need. You can ask for the price."
Zhou Sin was also very helpless, all of them said: "It's not about money, look down on me, thank you. I can't teach anything, and I'm really not at the level of teaching people. Many classes are open. better than me."
I won't say much more, what should be said is that he is busy with his own business and will not respond again. Zhou Sin who has to learn something will be supported in the field of Dongda, that is, Tao Xiaodong.
When they come to the store, they are very casual, unless the customer asks for it, or they are done in the lobby. Now there are suddenly more people watching, the store is too busy, the tattoo artists all go to the tattoo room to work, Lu Xiaobei and Zhou Sin hide upstairs, and no one is left in the hall.
When Xiao Ke came over on the weekend, there was no one downstairs except Xu Wen. He looked back at Xu Wen and couldn't help laughing: "Is it like this now?"
On the phone with Zhou Sin every day, of course he knew that the store was a little noisy, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. Xu Wen grimaced: "The coffee and juice are all gone, and the new ones haven't arrived yet, Brother Xiao, do you want to drink milk tea?"
Xiao Ke laughed, shook his head and said, "I don't drink, what about Zhou Sin?"
"The boss is upstairs," Xu Wen pointed upstairs, "I don't know which room it's in, you can ask."
After Xiao Ke went up, all the doors were closed. He knocked on one of them first and asked, "Who's inside?"
Lu Xiaobei's voice came over: "Come in, Brother Xiao, it's Beibei!"
Xiao Ke opened the door with a smile. Inside, Lu Xiaobei was wearing a mask to make a leg ring for a beautiful woman. Xiao Ke said hello: "Hello, Xiao Beibei."
Lu Xiaobei made a noise behind the mask and responded.
Xiao Ke closed his door, turned his head and knocked on another one. There should be no one else. He still deliberately asked, "Who is inside?"
Zhou Sin responded: "I."
Xiao Ke hasn't been here for a week, and I really think about hearing Teacher Zhou's voice at this moment. Zhou Sin's client is a male surname. Xiao Ke pushed the door and went in. The big brother was lying naked on the bed and was about to fall asleep. Zhou Sin was drawing a line on his buttocks.
As soon as he came in, the big brother looked back at him and didn't care much.
Xiao Ke paused and said to him, "Brother sorry, are you afraid to see it?"
"Don't be afraid," the big brother waved his hand casually, "You can do whatever you want, and it's ok to take pictures. I think I'm quite photogenic."
Xiao Ke smiled and said, "There is no rush to take pictures, just do everything and take pictures."
He said that he walked over beside Zhou Sin, and when Zhou Sin looked up at him, Xiao Ke silently kissed him. Zhou Sin was also wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his smile, but he could see the soft curvature of the corners of his eyes. Xiao Ke put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed his neck gently, and said to his mouth: I miss you.
Zhou Sin had dirty hands and couldn't hold the machine, so he just leaned back and touched Xiao Ke.
These little gestures of interaction between the two are very warm. When Zhou Sin got a tattoo, Xiao Ke poured him a glass of water from time to time to let him take two sips. Xiao Ke would also reach out and touch him when he was walking, silently brushing his presence.
The big brother was quite calm when he got his butt tattooed, but when it got to the thigh, he suddenly couldn't take it anymore and started screaming in pain. He shouted so miserably that Xiao Ke couldn't listen to it anymore, and said to him, "Just bear with it, you will be sublimated if it hurts."
"Don't bear it anymore, I feel like I'm going to ascend to the sky now." The eldest brother was sweating with pain on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, "This is too fucking painful..."
Zhou Sin stepped on the foot switch to stop, and asked him, "Take a break?"
"It doesn't stop, it's the same thing as it is, it hurts all at once." He was still quite strong, clenching his fists and saying.
The thigh is actually not the most painful part of the body for tattoos, but the pain tolerance of each part of the body is different, and there is no fixed standard. This buddy has a good idea, but I guess it hurts too much, and he can't bear it in the middle. He said that he will be here today.
He has been doing it for more than four hours, or it will only be done for two more hours at most. He said that of course he agreed to stop Zhou Sin, but when Xiao Ke came, he actually didn't want him to sit and watch him work like this.
Zhou Sin packed up the machine and went out with Xiao Ke, letting people dress inside. The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither made a sound. They both went to the bedroom together, and closed the door and kissed for a while.
Xiao Ke was wearing white short sleeves and small fresh green shorts. He looked clean, very young, and looked like a student. Zhou Sin wanted to scrape his face with his fingers, but before he took off his gloves and washed his hands, he put his hands down again without touching Xiao Ke's face.
Xiao Ke bent his eyes and smiled: "It's alright, touch it, the big deal is to wash your face later."
Zhou Sin silently kissed his face and shook his head.
It was still early, and since there were no customers behind, there was no need to be bored in the store, Zhou Sin took Xiao Ke's hand and left. Downstairs, there happened to be two young people who followed the trend to take a look. Xu Wen saw Zhou Sin coming down and quickly said, "That's our boss. Tell him directly if you have something to do."
Xiao Ke moved his hand and wanted to let go, but Zhou Sin clenched it tightly and not loosened it. ."
Xu Wen didn't react for a while, her face was blank: "Which teacher Lu?"
Xiao Ke smiled and answered, "Mr. Bei."
Xu Wen let out a snort of joy, nodded and said, "Okay, bye bye, Boss, bye bye Brother Xiao."
Xiao Ke was still laughing until he got into the car, turned his head and asked with a smile, "It's very presumptuous, Mr. Zhou?"
He was talking about the fact that Zhou Sin had to hold hands and not let go just now. Zhou Sin looked at him and smiled, but didn't say anything at the time. After a while, Xiao Ke's thoughts turned to other places, and this talent slowly said: "I sometimes feel that I am naive recently, and many things are I would never have done it before, but when I get older, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Huh?" Xiao Ke looked over, not sure where his words came from.
Zhou Sin stared straight ahead without looking at him, the soft curvature of the corners of his eyes revealed his faint smile: "I just wanted to keep holding on, but I didn't want to let go. One reason is that it's unnecessary, so I'm not afraid to look at it. The other thing is that I feel... "
After talking about it, the person behind him couldn't say it anymore. Xiao Ke rarely heard Meng Hulu say such a thing, so he would definitely ask to the bottom of it. He tilted his head and smiled at him: "What do you think?"
Zhou Sin pursed his lips, rubbed the tip of his nose with his knuckles embarrassedly, and said in a muffled voice, "I think Teacher Xiao is too good-looking, and I really want to show it off."
"..." Xiao Ke looked at this man, a little shocked. This is not like what Teacher Zhou can say. At first glance, he actually wanted to laugh, but his heart was sour and soft, and his heart seemed to be bitten by a small animal without teeth.
He raised his hand and touched Zhou Sin's ear, took a deep breath and said, "It's been very sultry recently, Zhou Gift?"
Zhou Sin didn't feel that he was talking nonsense, he just felt shy, and his old face panicked.
The two went to have a meal, and the restaurant introduced by Lin Xuan in the group was really good. This place happened to be very close to Lao Cao's shop, so Zhou Sin took Xiao Ke there.
Xiao Ke remembered that Lao Cao said that he did handicrafts, but he had never seen it at his place. When I arrived, I found out that it was a store outside a high-end home plaza building. The store was not very big, but Xiao Ke was still a little shocked when he entered, like entering an art museum.
The store is indeed full of handicrafts, both large and small. Metal products, wood products, bamboo products, bone products, stone products, all can be seen. A huge pendant made of irregular metal pieces hanging on the wall facing the door is very eye-catching and shocking.
The clerk at the door is an older sister who wears a cheongsam. She looks in her thirties and has a very unusual and elegant temperament. Seeing Zhou Sin, she greeted with a smile, "Brother Zhou is here."
Zhou Sin nodded with a smile and asked her, "Is Cao Yuan here?"
"Here," the beautiful sister saw Xiao Ke and smiled kindly at him, then said, "You do it first, I'll go in and call him."
As soon as Cao Yuan came out, he saw that the eyebrows on both sides of the two of them were raised high, and he was surprised and asked them: "Why are you two here? You are not enough to show affection in the group, and you still want to drive the show in the family? Shameless?"
Xiao Ke made him laugh, shook his head and said, "Come by and take a look."
Cao Yuan sat next to the two of them, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Don't leave empty-handed when it's all here, pick something to take away, and I'll give you a gift."
Xiao Ke was not polite at all, and said to him, "Show me a few of the ones you made, and I'll pick one."
Cao Yuan pointed at about a dozen kinds, and finally Xiao Ke chose a hanging piece made of metal pieces, which was similar to the one on the wall, but smaller.
No wonder Fang Xi introduced Lao Zhu and Lao Cao when they first met, saying that they were both artists. It looks really artistic now, and it has nothing to do with his usual out-of-tune appearance.
Xiao Ke picked Lao Cao and said, "I don't give it away for nothing, you have to give me money."
Xiao Ke asked him, "How much?"
"Two hundred and eight."
"It's too expensive, put a zero and give him two hundred." Zhou Sin said.
Xiao Ke took the phone and transferred 200, and then said, "Thank you, Boss Cao."
Cao Yuan pointed to the next week's crime, with a look of disgust: "You are too stingy."
Xiao Ke and Zhou Sin both laughed and ignored him. In fact, Xiao Ke knew that Lao Cao was just kidding and charging for some money, and he was definitely not at this price. Just now, he saw a standing sign next to him with a price marked on it. A small metal ornament was more than 8,000 yuan. The hanging item he took was estimated to be in the tens of thousands. If Lao Cao wants to send them, he will accept it, and if he sends something between friends, he will not consider it.
It's natural to have a meal together in the evening. Lao Cao said that he wanted to eat millet soup hot pot. The three of them drove across three districts in order to go to a restaurant that was said to be delicious. On weekend nights, I didn't make an appointment in advance. There were more than 20 people in the queue. They chatted and waited in the car. When they were in line, Lao Cao said that he was hungry.
After entering the seat, Xiao Ke asked them to order something first, and he went to wash his hands. Cao Yuan said, "I'll go too, let's go together."
Xiao Ke turned his head and asked, "Little sister?"
"Ah," Cao Yuan answered him expressionlessly, "it could be a couple match, you have to keep your eyes open with Lao Zhou, and now you have really become little sisters, or me and Lao Zhou are little sisters? Oh my god, OK."
"Little sister" is the name of Xiao Kefang. It's okay to laugh at himself and make a joke. He really can't stand it because of Zhou Sin. He hurriedly walked to the bathroom with Cao Yuan's neck between his neck and said, "Shut up brother."
There is no shortage of coincidences in the world. The word coincidence is sometimes surprising, but sometimes it means that a huge embarrassment slams on people's heads, making people unable to resist.
Xiao Ke and Cao Yuan walked to the bathroom while joking. When they were at the door, they encountered someone washing their hands. Xiao Ke didn't look up, but turned sideways to let him go first.
This person suddenly stood in front of him, and before Xiao Ke raised his head, he heard the voice he used to know with surprise and disbelief: "...Xiao Ke?"
Even if we haven't seen each other for a long time, Xiao Ke's voice will not be unrecognizable. He raised his head and smiled lightly: "Lin Gong? What a coincidence."
Lin An's gaze went back and forth on Xiao Ke and Cao Yuan twice. Cao Yuan looked at Lin An on the opposite side. The human elite never had to ask more questions. Just by looking at him, he could almost guess the identity of the person on the opposite side.
Lin An asked, "Who is this?"
Xiao Ke said, "It's my friend."
Just now, he walked over to Lao Cao while laughing and guessing that Lin An had misunderstood, but Xiao Ke didn't want to explain anything, and couldn't explain it.
Lin An nodded. After all, he was a high-end intellectual, and the cold look in front of outsiders was always there. His chin was tensed, his back and shoulders were straight, and he always looked a little proud.
Xiao Ke didn't want to talk to him. From any point of view, it's not so appropriate for him to greet his ex here, so Xiao Ke smiled and said to him, "I'll wash my hands."
Lin An's eyes were always glued to his face, and he could see that he still had something to say, but after Xiao Ke said this, and there were outsiders, he didn't say any more, nodded and turned away first.
Xiao Ke pursed his lips and washed his hands. Lao Cao was also rubbing his hands beside him. He looked at him in the mirror and asked, "Ex?"
"Well, ex." Xiao Ke nodded.
Lao Cao smiled: "At first glance, your predecessor is young. If it were my predecessor, I probably wouldn't be able to remember his face."
Xiao Kexin said that he has been together for more than five years, and he should remember with his eyes closed.
There's nothing I can't say about meeting my ex, but I don't want to say "Who did I see just now" to Zhou Sin on purpose. It's too deliberate and unnecessary. Go back at night to find a suitable word and say it. Lao Cao couldn't be rude, and he wouldn't be involved in other people's affairs.
Xiao Ke's heart was open, and he didn't even take it to heart. Teacher Zhou "died yesterday", and now he is naturally full of only Teacher Zhou. Those things were really light in the past.
As long as Zhou Sin came out to eat now, he would definitely order a pot of hot soy milk for him to drink slowly, and even add sugar thoughtfully, knowing that Teacher Xiao likes something a little sweeter. He was drinking beer with Lao Cao himself, while taking care of Xiao Ke's food.
Xiao Ke laughed and thought, "Mr. Zhou's love is like taking a child. Although Xiao Ke doesn't need to be taken care of like this by others, her boyfriend's heart still needs to be accepted.
Xiao Ke really didn't expect that Lin An would come here on purpose. Because Lin An's surname has always been quite introverted and low-key, he is reluctant to reveal his heart in front of outsiders. Xiao Ke guessed that he might contact him after he went back, but he didn't guess that he came directly this time.
In fact, this is very understandable. Lin An misunderstood that he and Lao Cao were a couple. The old lover who had been in love for more than five years has a new love. strong. Will not be reconciled, want to brush a sense of existence, stamp a stamp on the old lover, prove that he once had it.
So Lin An came directly, holding a wine glass and a bottle of wine in his hand.
Xiao Ke knew when he saw him coming. Seeing that a pot of dog blood flutters and falls on his head.
- "Have a drink, Xiao Ke." Lin An was in front of Xiao Ke, his eyes were full of emotions when he spoke, he couldn't hide it, and his eyes were still a little red.
Zhou Sinyuan and Lao Cao were talking, they had already picked up the phone, and were watching this side quietly.
Lin An said to pour himself a glass first, looked at Xiao Ke and said, "Let's have a drink, it's been a long time since I've had one. I respect you, I respect... I respect your innocence, enthusiasm, purity, romance, and bravery."
There was a pause between each word, but he didn't hold back when he said this, his eyes were completely red, and his voice trembled a little. He raised his head and drank the glass of wine, Xiao Ke twitched his fingers, but he still didn't move.
"I'm not as brave as you, so I have nothing now." Lin An poured himself another glass. He should have drank a lot of wine just now. He could see that he was really sad. Ercai continued, "This cup is to respect everything you have given, to the past as picturesque and poetic, to the past as a cloud of time and not to look back, but also to... Respect for everything that fate has given you, but you can't cherish it."
His hands were shaking a little, and he wanted to pour a drink for Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke hesitated for a moment, he should not drink the toasted wine, because the love that fate gave him was no longer the person who toasted. But Xiao Ke still drank the soy milk in the cup first, then put the empty cup aside, and filled himself with Zhou Sin's wine.
The table was always quiet, no one made a sound, only the pot in the middle was bubbling.
Xiao Ke pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Lin Gong, I respect you for this cup. I wish you a bright future and a bright future."
He said he drank his glass neatly.
Lin An closed his eyes and said, "You still owe me a cup."
He filled Xiao Ke's glass again with the wine in his hand, put the wine bottle on the table, knocked his glass against Xiao Ke, and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't want to drink with you before, because I was afraid of you. My stomach hurts. I'm going to fly to Munich next week, and I think it might be doomed to meet you today, so just... just be presumptuous for me again."
It's impossible for Xiao Ke to miss this glass of wine in this way, not to mention that Xiao Ke has really put his heart into it for the past five years. He said nothing and reached for the cup.
- But he couldn't pick it up, Zhou Sin, who had been sitting inside, pressed the mouth of the cup with the palm of his hand.
"Forget it, it hurts to drink again."
Xiao Ke looked at him, and Lin An also looked at him. Zhou Sin raised his eyes to look at Lin An, and asked lightly, "How do you want to be presumptuous?"
"I'll accompany you."
"You two are free to pay respects. You can pay respects to the past and tomorrow. Pour the wine to me, and I will continue."
