When a few girls saw it, they came up and glanced at it curiously. The brand was only half the width and size of a thumb. It was oddly shaped, and the edges were a bit rough.
They were speechless: "Is this thing still worth twenty dollars?"
Qi Feng didn't explain much, and when a few people went on the road again, Ling Ke said strangely, "I didn't seem to see anything like customization in the woodcarving museum just now."
Qi Feng smiled and asked him, "Do you remember that there was a pile of carved waste wood under the old uncle's workbench at that time?"
Ling Ke: "Did you go in and pick it up?"
Qi Feng didn't deny it: "Well, I asked the old man if he still wanted the wood, and he said no, I just picked up a piece and wanted to ask him to help process it into a small brand. He didn't ask me for money at first, but he When the brand was given to me, it said that I had a good eye, and I picked up a piece of red sandalwood as soon as I picked it up, and said that this piece of wood was cut out when he carved a Maitreya Buddha a few days ago, and the Maitreya Buddha was bought the day after the carving. already."
Ling Ke: "…"
Qi Feng: "I originally just wanted to give me ten yuan for the crafting fee. When I heard that this thing fell from the body of a Bodhisattva, I suddenly remembered what a master said to me when I went to the temple. He said, 'Heavenly rain' If you don’t water the rootless tree, the magic trick will only be passed on to those who are destined.” I felt in my heart, since I have such a fate, it seems like I can’t justify it if I’m not sincere, so I shook my hand and gave me twenty dollars.”
Speaking of which, Qi Feng seemed to feel a little stupid.
This is not normal. It doesn't matter if he has money to give two hundred dollars. Now he only has twenty yuan on him. For the so-called "sincerity", he gave it all on impulse, and he looked really stupid.
Ling Ke was also a bit dumbfounded, but such a true temperament made him feel very valuable. After all, Qi Feng didn't give away all the fare for the return ticket, which showed that his impulse was still within the range of reason.
Ling Ke looked down at the small piece of wood in his hand, and said, "It's a pity that I only carved a game name. I guess I can only show the divine power of a Bodhisattva when I play DotA."
Qi Feng "puchi" smiled and said helplessly: "I didn't know that this piece of wood was so meaningful at the time, I just thought it might be easier to engrave English letters. If I had known earlier, I would have asked the old man to engrave your real name."
"Forget it, the name is just a symbol, the gift... I like it very much," Ling Ke cherished and stuffed the wooden block into his trouser pocket, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you."
Qi Feng raised his hand and touched his neck, the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.
The two had a romantic relationship, and by the time they ate at noon, they were stupid again.
The girls didn't know that Qi Feng had exhausted all the money, and chose a serious fast food restaurant. They each ordered a set meal of about 20 yuan, and went ahead to take a seat for them.
When the food came, they discovered that Qi Feng and Ling Ke only ordered one meal, and it was the cheapest set meal.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Wenqin asked strangely, "You two eat together?"
Ling Ke took a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder and handed them to Qi Feng. He didn't help him cover it up, but directly pointed out: "He has no money to eat."
Everyone: "… "
Zhang Wenqin: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Qi Feng smiled: "It's okay, you eat your food, don't worry about us."
After all, he and Ling Ke will share it with you one by one...
The girls looked at the set meal in front of them, and felt that it was not rice, but tons of dog food... If it wasn't for their own money, they all wanted to throw away ten dollars each and beg them to buy another one. portion!
After dinner, the six of them took the train back to the school. On the night of their return, Qi Feng took Colonel Ling Ke to a restaurant outside the school and ordered seven or eight large dishes, as if to make up for the hunger of the previous day and a half in one night. return.
Because everyone abides by the rules and restricts funds, this trip also "impresses" everyone...
Afterwards, the girls also quietly asked the members of the 207 dormitory about the feeling of traveling with the school grass and the department grass, and teased whether it was cool for them to be "loved" by the two handsome guys at the same time.
In this regard, the four people in the 207 dormitory who had eaten enough dog food collectively put on an indifferent face, saying that they would never want to hang out with these two dog boys and boys again next time!
The following week, a few people struck while the iron was hot again, and worked together to finish the interview report, and this time the homework was considered a successful conclusion.
***
The weather was getting colder, so Qi Feng and Ling Ke went back to their homes on the weekend to replenish their winter clothes.
Xie Qibao was envious of their behavior of local students who wanted to go home and went home, and couldn't help complaining when he called his mother at night.
As a result, a few days later, Xie's mother sent him five pairs of warm long johns, plus a lot of specialty delicacies.
Xie Qibao shared enthusiastically in the dormitory. The four of them chatted about Christmas plans without a word while eating.
Christmas was originally a festival in the West, but it has become popular in China in recent years.
The religious color has been removed, and there is no need to fulfill the obligations of traditional festivals. Instead, this festival has become a great time for young people to pick up airports to engage in activities and dinner parties.
Near the end of December, many New Year's Day and New Year's Eve activities tied to Christmas have been held all over the campus of F University, including New Year's musicals, comic exhibitions, campus cosplay shows, etc. held by various clubs.
Ling Ke's piano club will also hold a concert in the school's small auditorium on the eve of Christmas Eve, when Ling Ke will play a Christmas carol on stage.
The small auditorium can only accommodate less than 200 people, so the concerts are small-scale, and club activities generally charge a small amount of viewing fees for funding. Because they used the name "Ling Ke" in the publicity, many have passed the welcome. People who knew him at the party decided to come to join him.
As a starring member, Ling Ke got a few free internal tickets, which can be given to friends or classmates. Just when Xie Qibao asked, Ling Ke gave him and Gao Junfei two tickets.
"Hey, isn't Brother Qi going to listen?" Xie Qibao asked strangely.
"Our pop music club also had an event that night..." Qi Feng looked regretful.
Xie Qibao: "Pop Club? Where is it?"
Qi Feng: "It's the club I joined. It was originally called the 'Pop Music Research Club'. I thought it was for research at first, but after I joined, I found out that everyone usually gets together to sing and record songs, and there are also people. Writing your own songs or something is the so-called 'research'... I heard it, and it felt like a play."
Gao Junfei smiled and said, "What kind of research can an ordinary university club do? You didn't ask me about it before you joined. I thought you were just there for singing."
Xie Qibao asked curiously, "Then what activities does your music club do for Christmas?"
Gao Junfei scrambled to answer: "F University's annual campus top ten singer competition is jointly organized by their club and the student union, don't you know?"
Xie Qibao was excited: "Come on! Top ten singers!"
Gao Junfei: "I remember that when my brother was still in school the year before last, Liang Ruixi also participated in the class and won the third place."
Qi Feng nodded. He had already heard about it. Since the last orientation party, he had added Liang Ruixi's WeChat account, and he had also been in private contact.
"Christmas is usually a final, right?" Gao Junfei glanced at Qi Feng and asked, "Are you selected?"
"I'm in," Qi Feng scratched his head, "but I haven't decided which song to sing..."
Xie Qibao was immediately excited: "I really want to listen to it!"
But he was still holding the ticket Ling Ke gave him in his hand, and he was a little confused for a while.
Ling Ke laughed: "If you want to listen to Qi Feng sing, just go, don't worry about our concert, I don't have any acquaintances who can give me the tickets except for you and Gao Junfei."
Xie Qibao was relieved and said again: "Okay, if I can't go, I will give it to other students, otherwise it will be a waste."
Ling Ke: "You can do it yourself."
But Xie Qibao thought to himself that Ling Ke and Qi Feng had such a good relationship, and it happened that they had their own performances that night. Wouldn't it be a pity that Qi Feng couldn't hear Ling Ke play the piano, and Ling Ke couldn't hear Qi Feng sing
- It's not a pity.
Because Ling Ke knew for a long time that Qi Feng joined this kind of club. When he was free before, he went to play with Qi Feng and heard him sing more than once.
Before the election of the top ten singers on campus at Christmas, the pop club has selected ten contestants through several selections.
In the past when the two of them were together, Qi Feng always hummed softly involuntarily. Occasionally, when he got excited, he even pulled Ling Ke to concentrate on listening to him sing.
Another time, when the two of them were walking on the playground after dinner, Qi Feng, a lunatic, suddenly climbed onto the audience stage and sang to Ling Ke Wangqing who was still below, confounding Ling Ke.
And what Qi Feng sang was not "a big river with wide waves" or "five-starred red flag fluttering in the wind", but all kinds of love songs.
What "I love you more and more, every look touches my heart", "I want to think about it, I want to be with you", "I want to marry you tomorrow, I want to marry you tomorrow. marry you"...
The first time he listened to it, Ling Ke's heart almost jumped out of his chest; the second time he heard it, his scalp was numb and goosebumps all over his body; the third time, the fourth time... Now, his ears are calloused and completely numb .
Yes, even though Qi Feng was so affectionate every time he sang that it almost made Ling Ke suspect the other party's sexuality, he wouldn't take it seriously. After all, Qi Feng didn't sing this kind of rotten street love song for him, but to sing it. for the game.
Qi Feng certainly didn't know that his unintentional actions had already tortured Ling Ke, who was in a secret love, to death...
For the Christmas Eve singing competition, Ling Ke had club activities that he didn't need to go to. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to bear the thought that Qi Feng had to sing to so many audiences the song he had sung to himself.
[Interlude]
Qi Feng: "I love you more and more, every look touches my heart..." ("forever love" - Wang Leehom)
Qi Feng: "I want to think about it, I want to be with you~~~" ("I want to think about it" - Gu Juji)
Qi Feng: "I'm going to marry you tomorrow, I'm going to marry you tomorrow..." ("I'm going to marry you tomorrow" - Zhou Huajian)
(Coco! Look at me! Did you hear my heart??)
Ling Ke: "..." Do not listen to Wang Ba chanting scriptures.
