Chapter 157 155. Heading towards a new life

In the clean and bright supermarket, a dazzling array of products are neatly placed on the shelves. The air-conditioning in the supermarket is sufficient, and many people who come to escape the summer heat are wandering in the mall.

Chen Li'an and Wang Zuxian are also in the same group. They push the shopping cart and throw it into the shopping cart when they see something they like.

After achieving the purpose of coming to Xiangjiang this time, Chen Li'an's vacation has also come to an end, and he will go back to school the day after tomorrow.

Wang Zuxian knew that Chen Li'an was leaving, and she had been obsessed with him for the past two days. Zhang Guorong asked them to play mahjong, but Wang Zuxian refused.

It will be a long time before we meet again, so naturally we want to live together as two people.

In the bustling shopping mall, the two of them were no different from ordinary young couples, noisily selecting ingredients. The warm scene made many passers-by look sideways.

Wang Zuxian took Chen Li'an's arm, leaned against him and said, "It would be great if I could do this every day."

"Shopping for groceries is addictive." Chen Li'an pushed the cart forward and put his arm around Wang Zuxian's arm. "It would be boring if we lived like this every day. People always need a steady stream of freshness."

Wang Zuxian turned her head and glanced at Chen Li'an, pouting slightly, not wanting to expose Chen Li'an's little thoughts. What does it mean to need a steady stream of freshness?

Huaxin just means Huaxin, it’s not like I don’t understand you, it’s so high-sounding.

However, the current state of the two still makes Wang Zuxian feel comfortable. They will not get tired of being together every day, so there will be no conflicts, and there is no need to worry about the problems that normal couples worry about. When they miss each other, they will take the initiative to go there.

There are no responsibilities or worries, just enjoy the pleasure brought by each other.

Throwing away all the worries in love and keeping only the happy parts will really make people feel comfortable.

At least Wang Zuxian feels very comfortable like this now. If she wants to get married one day, she will naturally find a way to win Chen Li'an's heart and tie her tightly to her.

Cultivate feelings now and increase chips for the future.

After the two spent a plain but warm night together, Chen Li'an packed up his things and prepared to cross the border and return to the mainland.

Seeing Wang Zuxian's reluctant look at the pass, Chen Li'an rubbed her hair and said, "I'll see you again next month. During this time, you should study hard and don't be rejected by the university. It's so embarrassing."

Wang Zuxian wrinkled her nose and said, "I will read the book seriously, but even if I don't, they won't let me drop out of school. I'm Wang Zuxian!"

"You're not here just for the diploma. You want to learn something to enrich your life. Be serious." Chen Li'an scratched Wang Zuxian's nose, glanced at the time, put down his hand and said, "Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself." , call me if you have anything."

Wang Zuxian held Chen Li'an's hand and watched him pull away little by little. She felt a little sad and said, "I have something to do now and I don't want you to leave."

Chen Li'an pursed his lips, took out his hand, hugged her and turned away.

It’s not a Qiong Yao drama, so it’s better not to make the atmosphere so sad.

After passing the customs and returning to the deep city, Chen Li'an couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth when he looked at the princess who had been waiting there for a long time. It was indeed not a Qiong Yao drama, this was clearly the temptation to go home.

Chen Li'an walked over carrying the box and said, "Why are you going back to the mainland?"

The princess moved the sunglasses on her face down, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You care about me, I can go wherever I want."

"Oh, then I'm leaving. You can go wherever you like." Chen Li'an glanced at the princess angrily. Didn't he just ask you to hold on to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel to enchant her? How could you still hold a grudge?

Chen Li'an carried his things and walked out. He looked at a bunch of unlicensed truck drivers on the side of the road and a few idle people whose eyes kept wandering. He turned back to the princess uneasily and said: "You can fly directly to the capital. I'll return it." I’m going to Yangcheng.”

"You care about me?" the princess replied again, then put on her sunglasses, turned around, got into a car, and left first.

Chen Li'an: "." No wonder my best friend is such a yin! It can make someone angry to death!

Chen Li'an was too lazy to care about her. He stood on the roadside and looked around, and then saw Qiao Linmu, who was sweating profusely under the shade of a tree.

"Second uncle, why don't you stay in the car? It's not hot outside." Chen Li'an saw that his clothes were soaked through Qiao Linmu, and couldn't help but sighed and said, "We are not so poor that we can't afford gas." That’s the point.”

"How dare you say that! If I had known that hiring a celebrity would cost 2.8 million, I wouldn't have hired him at all!" Qiao Linmu said with some distress: "I thought you had many friends and it was just a friendship price. What the hell? It’s so expensive for a long time!”

Chen Li'an rolled his eyes at Qiao Linmu and said, "Friends have to settle accounts clearly. Besides, hiring a celebrity can quickly open up the market. You can earn back more than two million yuan in no time."

"You are confident." Qiao Linmu wiped his sweat, then walked towards the car, and turned back to Chen Li'an and said, "Hurry up and follow me. There are many things in the factory waiting for me to go back and deal with it."

Chen Li'an quickly followed him carrying the box.

More than two hours later, Chen Li'an looked at the newly made samples and said to Qiao Linmu with some surprise: "Second uncle, the quality and workmanship are good. It will definitely beat Aido!"

"It goes without saying that I have spent a lot of money on R\u0026D and production." Qiao Linmu was a little proud. He put down the endorsement contract in his hand and said to Chen Li'an: "Now that we add celebrity endorsements, I am confident that by the end of the year, I will surpass Love more sales!”

"Then I'll be waiting to count the money." Chen Li'an replied with a smile, then took a sip of water and said, "I won't go home today. You can find someone to take me to the airport."

"So anxious?" Qiao Linmu asked with a frown.

Chen Li'an said helplessly: "If I don't go back to school, I will be expelled."

"Okay, school is important. I'll find someone to take you to the airport." Qiao Linmu didn't hesitate and immediately asked someone to drive Chen Li'an to the airport.

As he boarded the plane to the capital, Chen Li'an was full of beautiful imaginations about the future.

You have to do art, you have to make friends, you have to make money!

After returning to the capital, Chen Li'an's professional driver Zhou Gongzi did not come to pick him up. He said that he had picked up a movie and ran away to film.

Chen Li'an didn't go to the new house, and he hadn't told Uncle Qi and the neighbors in the yard that he was moving, so he couldn't move out quietly.

If that happened, Uncle Qi would have to break his legs.

In the courtyard, Chen Li'an took out a bunch of things bought from Xiangjiang from the box and divided them among everyone. Then he said to Uncle Qi: "Master, I bought a house over there in Fangzhuang. I plan to move out in two days." .”

Uncle Qi was stunned for a moment, then took a puff of dry cigarette and said, "Well, it's time to move out. We can't live in a large courtyard all our lives."

"Master, please move over and live with me." Chen Li'an took a puff of cigarette, looked at Uncle Qi and said, "I'm afraid of living alone."

Hearing Chen Li'an's nonsense, Uncle Qi slapped him and said, "Go away and play."

Chen Li'an rubbed his shoulders, and the cigarette butts in his hands fell to the ground.

The old man's hand is still so strong, it really hurts to hit someone.

But Uncle Qi didn't want to go with him. Chen Li'an expected it. He had feelings for living in this courtyard all his life, and there were so many of his old friends in this courtyard, as well as Aunt Wang next door.

Chen Li'an stamped out the cigarette butts on the ground and said, "If you don't want to live with me, I'll move out tomorrow."

"Hurry up, I'm annoyed when I see you!" Uncle Qi knocked his cigarette pot on the ground and walked away swaying with his hands behind his back, but his back looked a little lonely.

Seeing the old man like this, Chen Li'an almost hesitated and considered whether to move, but when he returned to the house without air conditioning, he immediately gave up the idea.

Still have to run towards a new life!

Anyway, it’s not far from my new home, so I just need to come back often to have a meal.

Chen Li'an simply packed up the things he wanted to take away in the house. He felt a little reluctant to look at this room. It will be demolished in a few years and we really won't be able to see it anymore.

Just when Chen Li'an was feeling sad, the phone rang suddenly. Chen Li'an took it out and saw that it was the princess, so he reached out and hung up.

I don’t have time to talk to her, and no one can ruin my emo moment!

The most important thing is that Chen Li'an has a lot of thoughts in his mind now, and a lot of creative inspiration is bursting out. After turning off the phone that rang again, Chen Li'an walked to the easel, nailed the canvas, sat in front of it, and slowly mixed the paint. The blank canvas was A complete picture gradually emerged in his mind.

Chen Li'an glanced at his little nest, picked up a pen and drew simple lines on the canvas, and then silently began to use paint to vent his inner emotions.

The old tungsten lamp exuded a dark yellow light, casting many shadows on the old objects in the room. After the dimness, many nearly forgotten memories flooded into Chen Li'an's mind.

Those memories belong to another self, and they also belong to him. When he is about to say goodbye to this "home" full of memories, those memories come flooding out, seeming to remind Chen Li'an where he comes from, and remind him that this place belongs to Memories and past that are unique to him.

The picture on the canvas becomes more and more complete, and the scene of the entire room appears on the canvas in an abstract form, warm and childlike but full of sadness of parting.

Only at this moment did Chen Li'an feel that he was completely integrated with his other self and completely integrated into this world.

After painting all night in front of the painting, and the sky outside gradually getting brighter, Chen Li'an put down the pen in his hand. His eyes, which were originally deep and full of energy, were now red, as if they were smoked by the sweet and bitter memories.

Looking at the painting in front of him, Chen Li'an said slowly: "Let me call you Anchor, my anchor in this world."

Compared with his previous works, this painting is the one that Chen Li'an has poured the most emotion into and has the most resonance.

Maybe it doesn’t have fancy new forms, but it’s simple and pure enough.

Chen Li'an stretched while looking at the rising sun outside, and murmured to himself: "The new life begins now."

The first thing in Chen Li'an's new life was to go to school. He used to be very reluctant, but today he was extra active and came to Nortel early.

Looking at the students on campus who were making early achievements in twos and threes, Chen Li'an felt a young and energetic vitality.

Even if those classmates were sleepy and yawning, they still looked young. Who didn't spend their youth like this?

Chen Li'an stood there and watched for a while, then turned and walked towards his classroom. He was going to meet his classmates today, and he was looking forward to it!
