The water was rippling and sparkling. The four Lexus strolled under the shade of the trees on the riverside trail, feeling the gentle river breeze blowing on their faces, which was very pleasant.
People were coming and going around: a couple walking with a stroller; an old man fishing with a water tank; a takeaway boy riding a motorcycle with a heavy box on the back seat. Each went his own way. If there are no accidents, maybe in the future
They will never intersect.
Ling Zhi and Brother Song walked behind, and the two girls walked in front. Ling Zhi suddenly remembered something, rubbed Brother Song with his arm, and nodded his chin towards the two girls. Lin Qisong looked confused, and Ling Zhi softly added helplessly:
"Aren't you going to take photos of pedestrians? Why don't you tell them? I'll coordinate with you later."
"oh."
Lin Qisong reacted, hesitated for a moment, walked to the position where the two girls were side by side, turned his head and said:
"Well, I need some pedestrian data for my recent experiment. I will run in front of you in a while and take some photos of you walking by. You can walk as usual, okay?"
"Wow! I thought Qisong that you brought your SLR to take pictures of the scenery, of course there is no problem. However, while you are collecting data, you can also take pictures for us alone."
"of course."
Lin Qisong looked at classmate Yang, and Yang Jianhuan nodded slightly to express his agreement. So he hurriedly ran not far ahead and posed for photos on the side of the road. At first, Ling Zhi and the other two walked seriously. Later, they walked more often.
It feels more natural, walking and talking at the same time.
"Hey, brother, did you also walk 18 kilometers?"
Ling Zhi looked back and saw a man wearing a blue turban, sunglasses, and a blue shirt running after him.
"Yes, you too? Brother."
"Well, it's my first time here and I don't know the way very well. Can I walk with you?"
"Okay, that's okay. What do you call me, eldest brother?"
"Song Yihong, just call me Brother Hong."
"Well, my name is Ling Zhi."
Seeing this, the other three people all got to know each other. Brother Hong saw that there were two girls in the team and started chatting with them with great interest.
Ling Zhi watched them chatting animatedly and recalled the strange feeling he had when he turned around. He turned around again and found a short-haired girl wearing a sunhat, white top and blue overalls following them.
Only then did he realize that just as he was walking around with Brother Song taking pictures, this girl seemed to be following them too. Could it be that she was also participating in the event?
"Um, you also participated in the 18 kilometers?"
"Um."
The girl responded briefly. Ling Zhi suggested not to go with them, and also explained that someone in the team was taking pictures of pedestrians. The girl smiled and said "hmm" to express her agreement.
After 5 kilometers, everyone passed the first check-in point. After signing in one after another, they didn't take much rest. They drank a few drinks of water and continued walking towards the next check-in point.
Looking at the man and three women chatting enthusiastically in front of him, as well as Lin Qisong running before and after, Ling Zhi felt quite satisfied. Although he didn't have many friends, he watched the people around him talking happily with their friends.
Just feel happy for them.
"Hey, Ling Zhi, why are you running so far behind? I thought you were falling behind."
Ling Zhi came to his senses and found Zhao Shiyan patting his shoulder, walking beside him with a smile, looking sideways at him with his hands behind his back.
"How could I fall behind! But I have a habit. If I walk with a group of people, if I walk in front, I will involuntarily walk very fast. I feel that this is very bad, so I often force myself to walk in front of others.
later."
"Oh, that's it. Then you don't have to worry anymore, because you know me now. No matter how fast you walk, I will definitely keep up with you. Come on, come on."
After saying that, he grabbed Ling Zhi's arm and followed the three people in front of him.
Um, Ling Zhi is a little embarrassed. Is it really okay to be so close to him in front of strangers? But whatever, it's just a pull on the arm, not a hand hold. As friends, this little physical contact is nothing.
"But speaking of it, Lingzhi, you have such a great roommate who is a photographer. As expected, your dormitory is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
Ling Zhi smiled and said angrily.
"What's amazing? The four of us are just ordinary graduate students. But what you said reminds me that the four of us in the dormitory, apart from doing scientific research, do have our own characteristics."
"Brother Song is good at taking photos, and I can play billiards well. Chen Feng... I don't know what special skills he has. If I have to say it, it should be social awkwardness. As for Gao Feng, he is the most stable guy in our dormitory. Recently, he has
I’m planning to study abroad…”
Ling Zhi talked about his impressions of the four roommates, and briefly described the images of Chen Feng and Gao Feng, asking Zhao Shiyan to match the two people in his impression when they first met.
"Well, I envy you so much, Ling Zhi. What will my future roommate be like? I'm really looking forward to it. But don't worry, I have already met many new classmates in the laboratory, and they are all easy to get along with.
…”
Zhao Shiyan talked about the classmates around him again.
Ling Zhi looked at her side face, and occasionally a trace of doubt flashed in his heart. A girl like her has never been in love. Are all the boys around her blind?
As for you, we are already friends, aren't you satisfied? You don't even look in the mirror... Ling Zhi shook his head imperceptibly, just as the girl finished speaking, she looked at Ling Zhi and said with a smile:
"By the way, Ling Zhi, last time you told me about what happened during your postgraduate entrance examination, I fell asleep before I even finished listening. Can you tell me again?"
"Oh, that's no problem."
The two began to chat enthusiastically, and Ling Zhi took the opportunity to ask Zhao Shiyan about his undergraduate life, but the girl seemed to be deliberately avoiding anything and just focused on talking about the information technology-related courses she studied as an undergraduate.
…
the other side.
Lin Qisong had just finished a round of filming and walked back to the team. He felt very complicated when he remembered that he had just agreed to go hiking with Ling Zhi a few days ago.
If it weren't for this, he would be sitting in front of the computer right now, staring at his paper boredly, correcting a little here and there, and polishing a little here and there.
I really can’t change it anymore, so I try to sift through the data again to see if I can pick out some of the poor quality ones. But now, I am walking along the river bank. Is this a waste of money?
Lin Qisong shook his head secretly. Thinking of this, he found it funny and felt that he was close to being hopeless.
But when he shook his head, he caught a glimpse of classmate Yang Jianhuan next to him, who was holding a small drawing board with his left hand and the joint of his arm, and sketching something on it with a pencil in his right hand.
Curiosity made him turn his head and take a closer look. He saw Yang Jianhuan looking at the boats on the riverside and sketching the outline of the boats with a pen.
At the same time, she silently stared ahead with her peripheral vision and walked slowly at an unpleasant speed. Even if there was someone blocking her in front of her, she could still walk around silently without raising her head and continue walking.
After observing for a while, Lin Qisong couldn't help but ask:
"Well, you like painting, right?"
Yang Jianhuan stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head slightly, and said:
"um, yes."
"Oh, I guess you prefer some two-dimensional elements?"
Hearing this, the little princess's eyes seemed to light up and she nodded hurriedly:
"Yes, yes, how do you know? Oh, yes, did I wear a silly outfit today? It made you laugh."
"No, no, it's quite cute, haha."
Lin Qisong was a little embarrassed, and they were not familiar with each other. Your compliment was a bit deliberate and explicit. However, the little princess didn't seem to take it seriously, and instead said excitedly:
"Yeah, thank you for saying that. But you must be surprised that I brought a drawing board with me when I went hiking."
Lin Qisong quickly waved his hand and said:
"Well, not really. But I'm a little curious. Have you liked drawing since you were a child?"
"That's not true. I have always liked watching cartoons, such as "One Piece" and "Naruto" from Japanese comics, and "Zhenhun Street" from Chinese comics. After watching them for a long time, I can't help but want to draw my own favorite cartoons.
characters. So I found some teaching materials on the Internet and studied for a few years. I’m just getting started. Don’t mind if the painting doesn’t look good.”
"No, no, why would you mind? I think you draw very well and observe carefully. Anyway, I can't do this kind of thing."
"Well, thank you for saying that. By the way, I actually came here today with the idea of drawing materials. I usually draw more people, and today I just want to draw something else to relax. Let me show you the paintings I usually draw.
Maybe you, the photographer, can give me some advice."
As he spoke, he was about to put the pen in his left hand, and took out the mobile phone in his bag with his right hand. However, because his left hand was holding the front of the drawing board, he lost his grip on the brush and fell to the ground.
Lin Qisong hurriedly bent down to help her pick it up and said:
"Well, how about I help you get the drawing board."
Yang Jianhuan did not shirk, and handed the small drawing board to Lin Qisong, then rummaged in his bag with both hands. After a while, he took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and introduced to Lin Qisong:
"Look, this is my drawing of Luffy and Naruto. I have been changing it for a long time. Oh, by the way, there are other characters. Look, this one is imitated from "The Street of Souls"...ah!
"
The girl screamed involuntarily and accidentally dropped her phone on the ground.
Lin Qisong was also startled. He raised his head and saw that an old man next to him had taken the bait. He had just caught the fish, and there were some water stains along with it.
Lin Qisong reflexively grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her towards him, but he soon realized something was wrong and let go.
The girl didn't seem to realize what she had just done. Instead, she excitedly said to Lin Qisong:
"Well, you, your name is Qisong, right? Can you take a picture of it? Quick! Quick! Quick!"
Ah? Oh! Lin Qisong, who reacted immediately, handed the drawing board back to Yang Jianhuan, hurriedly picked up the camera and started recording. Fortunately, before the old man put the fish into the water basin, Lin Qisong took a lot of photos, including a few of himself.
Indeed quite satisfied.
“Young man, it’s 10 yuan to take a photo.”
The old man smiled and said to him. Lin Qisong was stunned, a little embarrassed. But Brother Hong next to him helped him out:
"Hahaha, why is this fish of yours so valuable..."
So he started joking with the old man. Just as Lin Qisong breathed a sigh of relief, a soft voice came from beside him:
"Um, can you take a look at it?"
The girl had already picked up her mobile phone and asked hurriedly when she saw Lin Qisong stopped taking pictures.
"Of course it's no problem, it's a small matter."
So I put the photos just now in front of Yang Jianhuan.
"Oh! Yes, yes, this is it. The feeling of the fish raising its tail in the air is so real. You took the photo so well! Well, can you send me this photo later? I want to
It draws it out.”
The girl said excitedly. Now even Lin Qisong became interested and wanted to know how far she could draw. So he continued:
"Of course, it's a piece of cake."
"Thank you. By the way, where did you say that? Yes, look, this is the character in "Zhenhun Street" that I imitated..."
Yang Jianhuan continued to introduce her famous masterpieces. Although Lin Qisong knew a little about photography, he knew nothing about the two-dimensional world. But at this moment, he was unwilling to interrupt the girl's words.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, and even though it was an area he was not familiar with, looking at the focused look and words of the girl next to him, he had to admit that this was the most beautiful scenery he had seen since he came out today.
