Chapter 50 50. What are you afraid of? Just stride forward! (Seeking for further reading)

The sunshine is as gentle as a pair of warm hands, shining warmly on your body.

In Bai Qing's room, the yellow and mottled newspapers on the wall were replaced with new ones at some point.

The originally messy room was now tidy, and there was no longer such a strong smell of turpentine in the air.

In two months, Bai Qing had changed a lot. The hollowness and laziness in his body had disappeared, and a vivid aura slowly appeared in his eyes.

Bai Qing sat on the bed sheet printed with floral patterns, blinking and staring at Chen Li'an, as if trying to match the face in front of him with the face in his memory.

After not seeing each other for more than two months, Chen Li'an has changed a lot. He is not as gloomy as when they met, but he has not become brighter either. Bai Qing feels that Chen Li'an now has no energy.

"Can you still draw?" Bo Qing raised his arm, as white and tender as a lotus joint, and waved it in front of Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an hummed, and then said: "I want to take a nap, and I will draw for you when I wake up."

"Well, come on." Bo Qing chuckled and patted his thigh.

Chen Lian walked over and laid his pillow on Bai Qing's lap. It felt so soft and reassuring. Chen Lian closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

In Chen Li'an's sleep, many people appeared in his mind. One was Mr. Zhou, the other was Gong Li, the other was Ma Xiaoqing, and the other was Cheng Meiren.

Only Bai Qing did not appear, perhaps because Bai Qing was around.

Bai Qing looked at Chen Li'an who was sleeping, and gently rubbed his brow with his white fingers, as if trying to dissolve the sadness in his heart.

As time went by, the light in the room became darker and darker, and Bai Qing kept maintaining this position, allowing Chen Li'an to sleep peacefully.

I don't know how long it took before Chen Li'an opened his eyes and saw Bai Qing's bright eyes looking at him in the darkness.

Chen Li'an rubbed Bai Qing's leg lustfully and said, "I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time."

Seeing the comfort and relaxation on Chen Li'an's face, Bai Qing smiled, then pinched Chen Li'an's nose and said, "If you're asleep, get up quickly. My legs are numb."

"It's so comfortable. Just let me lie down for a while, just five minutes." Chen Lian put his arms around Bai Qing's waist, acting childishly.

This was the first time that Bai Qing saw Chen Li'an like this. He couldn't help but chuckle and rubbed Chen Li'an's hair and said, "It's only for five minutes, no more cheating."

"Yeah, five minutes." Chen Li'an closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of washing powder and turpentine on Bai Qing's body. His heart felt like it was being emptied and washed, and it was particularly peaceful.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Chen Li'an felt as if only a moment had passed, but he did not lie about getting up when the five minutes were up.

Bai Qing rubbed his numb legs, looked at the energetic Chen Li'an and said angrily: "Come here and rub your legs for me."

"Yes." Chen Li'an sat next to Bai Qing and kneaded Bai Qing's tight long legs with his long and strong fingers.

After a while.

"Hiss~ be gentle!"

"Didn't you like me very much before?"

"We haven't seen each other for more than two months, okay!"

Under the dim light, Chen Li'an looked at the painting on the canvas and seemed to be able to feel the purity and faint lazy comfort of Bai Qing.

In the painting, Bai Qing is leaning lazily on the edge of the bed, like a baby who has just finished drinking milk, with a sleepy look in his beautiful eyes as if he is full and wants to sleep.

But there is an indescribable desire and emptiness between the eyebrows, a particularly contradictory feeling, like waking up and recalling the gorgeous dream just now.

There were a pile of empty paint bottles in front of Chen Li'an, and the shovel in his hand was still hung with thick paint.

The painting on the canvas is also thickly coated with paint. The picture painted with this thick coating technique is more textured and more three-dimensional. The most important thing is that this painting method can be painted faster and there is no need to wait for the paint to dry.

"How's the painting?" Bo Qing couldn't help raising his hand and yawning, a tear falling from the corner of his eye.

Chen Li'an's eyes immediately lit up. He used a small brush to pick up a little white paint and mix it with oil and then sprinkled it on the painting.

With this teardrop, the whole picture seems to come alive and has its own theme.

Bai Qing looked at the excitement in Chen Li'an's eyes, as if he saw himself that day, and was very curious about how Chen Li'an painted.

"alright?"

"alright!"

Bai Qing immediately ran to the easel and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said with some jealousy: "Chen Li'an, you are really a genius. It's only been half a year. You should really concentrate on painting. You will definitely become the most powerful painter in the future."

Chen Li'an threw away the brush in his hand. The excitement in his eyes had not subsided. He looked at his work and said excitedly: "What do you think it should be called?"

"I don't know." Bo Qing shook his head and looked at the painting and said, "It gives me a very complicated feeling. It's both pure and hot, but also like the calmness after the desire is satisfied."

Chen Li'an touched his chin and thought about what name he should give this work. He didn't notice at all that the paint on his fingertips rubbed against his sexy chin.

At this moment, Chen Li'an felt that his brain was exhausted and he couldn't think of a suitable word to name it. He said with some enthusiasm: "I don't know what to call it better, you decide."

Bai Qing hummed and looked at the gradually brightening sky outside the window. After a long time, he said: "Wake up, I feel like I was in a dream after meeting you."

Chen Li'an smiled, looked at Bai Qing and said, "I hope it's a sweet dream."

"But now I'm about to wake up from my dream." Bo Qing pulled back her hair and looked at the room that had been packed up. She turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "I'm moving away and saying goodbye to this place."

Chen Li'an was silent for a while and asked, "Where are you going?"

Bo Qing chuckled and said playfully: "I'll tell you next time I see you, but I want to take this painting of yours to an exhibition. I shouldn't be the only one to see such a good painting."

Chen Li'an doesn't know when the next time will be, nor does he know where Bai Qing will take this painting for exhibition.

When leaving Bai Qing's yard, he looked at the rising sun and couldn't help but quicken his pace, as if he was actively facing the rising sun.

Isn't the theme of life just meeting and separation? It would be nice to have seen some scenery before and owned it.

Just like Mr. Zhou or Gong Li, they are all beautiful scenery in the journey of life. Why do you think so much? Just cherish the present.

When Chen Li'an first came out of the alley, a fried dough stick stall had already been set up, and a few sleepy-eyed customers were queuing up.

Everyone is busy with their new lives, so there is no time to dwell on the past.

Chen Li'an bought two fried dough sticks, chewed them and walked towards Cheng Mei's house.

I was running so fast yesterday that I left my bag at her place.

The gate to the yard with the ginkgo tree was not closed. When Chen Li'an pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Cheng Meiren wearing casual sportswear exercising under the tree.

The white sportswear showed off Cheng Meiren's figure well, and her high ponytail danced gently in the sun.

After seeing Chen Li'an coming back, Cheng Meiren stood under the tree with her hands folded and said with a bright smile: "I knew you would come back!"

"Because I left my bag here." Chen Li'an said very uncharacteristically.

"Nothing else but the bag?"

"Does it count if there's a girl who wants to sleep but doesn't dare?"

"Calculate!"

It’s the third watch, and the first watch is a little later. I’m going to eat first, I’m starving...

Everyone should eat well, otherwise you won’t have enough energy at night▄██●
