Ma Jinshan said with a kind face, "In addition to the bonus, there are also illustrations that Comrade Li promised to complete this time."

Li Zhen took a deep look at Ma Jinshan, who was pushing his limits.

"I'll be very busy recently..."

"It's okay, don't worry."

Ma Jinshan added.

“Just ask for whatever you need, and whatever can be satisfied will be satisfied.”

Li Zhen said bluntly, "I need a camera."

"No problem..." Ma Jinshan promised, "I'll ask Xiao Zhou to get it to you right away."

Walking out of the publishing house with a camera on his back, Li Zhen truly experienced the power of a fox and a tiger.

Apart from being reborn and gaining some advantages based on the memories of her previous life, she actually had no other advantages. But after this incident, she understood that she had wasted too many resources in her previous life, and the connections formed by the employers she took on The Internet is her greatest asset. In the past, she just lived her own life, which was so stupid.

Yue Wenshan wanted something from Li Zhen, and he didn't mind supporting Li Zhen. When he left, he didn't forget to tell Ma Jinshan to take more care of Li Zhen in the future.

After leaving the publishing house, Ma Jinshan offered to drive Li Zhen back.

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "I have never been to Chengyun Teahouse..."

The setting sun was setting in the west, the golden clouds were shattered, and the rays of light were reflected in Yue Wenshan's eyes.

"I have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't we talk now?"

Tomorrow she has to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It would be better if she solves the problem today. Li Zhen nodded.

"Let's go."

The decoration of Chengyun Teahouse was very elegant. It was not convenient for Li Zhen and Yue Wenshan to go to the private room to talk, so they chose seats in the corner.

There were not many people in the tea room in the afternoon. After sitting down, Yue Wenshan looked around and saw that there was a table of guests facing the window only ten meters away. It was safe to talk.

Yue Wenshan ordered a pot of Biluochun and a few pastries. When everything was ready, his eyes fell on the camera that Li Zhen put on another chair and asked Li Zhen.

"Why do you need to borrow a camera if you can sketch?"

Because no matter how good a painting is, it cannot be used as evidence, but photos can. However, it is impossible to tell Yue Wenshan this, so Li Zhen started editing.

"Both painting and photography are a means of expressing true inner feelings. I want to compare which one is closer to nature, and which one has more visual effect, between the works painted based on impressions and the moments captured by the camera."

"You want to change your painting style?"

Yue Wenshan poured a cup of tea for Li Zhen. Li Zhen thanked him, took a sip and said.

"Only masters pay attention to painting style, I'm still exploring."

Yue Wenshan glanced at Li Zhen with appreciative eyes, and was startled when he saw Li Zhen's hands covered with frostbite.

"Can you tell me the specifics?"

The tea was very fragrant, and every word Li Zhen spoke seemed to be dyed with the fragrance of tea, and his voice had a dense feeling.

Leaning back on the chair, Yue Wenshan seemed to be reminiscing and searching through time. After a long time, his lips moved and he vomited out the unspeakable pain that he had buried deep in his heart for many years.

"She is the daughter of a landlord. No one cared about her after her parents died. She was often bullied. Once, she was pushed into a ditch by the roadside by several children. She climbed up and was pushed down again. She was so frightened that she cried but no one was willing to let her go..."

When Yue Wenshan said this, he took a deep breath and continued.

"I was passing by and saw that I beat away the children and pulled her up. I also took off my clothes for her to wear... It was late autumn. She was shivering from the cold and her lips were purple from the cold. I wanted to send her home. She She was too cold and hungry to walk, so I carried her on my back."

"Later she got sick, and I told my sister. My sister often visited her and gave her food. After she recovered, she secretly came to me and gave me her most valuable thing as a thank you gift."

Having said this, Yue Wenshan, immersed in memories, smiled, his bitter smile full of tenderness.

"It was a jade bracelet inlaid with gold and jade, an heirloom of her family... I didn't ask for it. She cried again and said she didn't know how to thank me. I said, please teach me how to read."

Li Zhen took out the small notebook and pen he carried with him and asked Yue Wenshan about the style of his bracelet. Yue Wenshan was not unhappy about being interrupted in his memory and answered Li Zhen in detail.

Li Zhen asked Yue Wenshan to continue while painting.

Yue Wenshan said, "Later, I went to school. Because I learned to read from her in advance, my grades were always among the best. But she couldn't go to school. As we grew up, she began to wait for me to teach her knowledge every day until high school. Graduation is like this.”

"Every time I took an exam, I would wait for the papers to be handed out and then make a copy for her to take. Her scores were on par with mine."

"She has grown up and the children who often bullied her have also grown up. Some of them have evil intentions..."

Li Zhen heard the sound of grinding his teeth, and Yue Wenshan's breathing became heavy and he choked.

"When I found out, she was more than four months pregnant. She was beaten to death because she resisted too fiercely. I personally pushed her into the incinerator, but I didn't see the ignition. They said they were afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear it. "

Yue Wenshan covered his face with his hands. Li Zhen found it hard to accept just listening, let alone the person involved.

"Can you tell me what she looks like?" Li Zhen took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yue Wenshan, asking softly.

Taking the handkerchief and pressing it to his eyes, Yue Wenshan apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too excited."

After his emotions calmed down, Yue Wenshan began to describe Yu Wenyan's appearance.

The reason why Li Zhen needs Yue Wenshan to talk about the past is because people's appearance will have their own unique characteristics due to personal experiences, so it makes some sense to say that 'appearance comes from the heart'.

For example, two people with similar looks, but because of their different environments, education, and even attitudes toward people, will have huge differences in temperament, and even make their faces feel completely different.

Li Zhen listened and drew while Yue Wenshan was narrating, occasionally interrupting to ask for specific details.

Li Zhen didn't notice it at first, but as the character draft took shape, Li Zhen was surprised to find that she had seen this woman in her previous life.

Li Zhen didn't know the name of Qi Yihan's distant cousin. Li Zhen only knew that Qi Yihan's cousin lived abroad.

In the last life, Li Zhen met Qi Yihan's uncle and aunt twice, once on the second day after Li Zhen gave birth and once at his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony.

Li Zhen had no sense of intimacy with any of his relatives, let alone distant relatives whom he had rarely met. The first time he met Li Zhen, he had no impression at all.

What impressed Li Zhen deeply was the second time. Qi Yihan, the son of his distant cousin, looked almost exactly like Qi Yihan. At that time, even Qi Yihan, who had always been calm and calm, was surprised. Said that this kid looked exactly like him.

Li Zhen took a sip of tea to suppress his thoughts. One was at home and the other was abroad. One was dead, and the other was married to cousin Qi Yihan according to time. How could they be the same person.

"Look..."

Li Zhen handed the draft to Yue Wenshan.

Yue Wenshan burst into tears as soon as he saw her, "It's so similar."

"This is what she looked like when she was young according to your description. Later, I will calculate the degree of aging of the human body over time to outline her middle-aged appearance. However, I want to ask you, if you really follow When she grows old, what do you think she will be like?”
