Rebirth of the Painted Soul

There are two days until the national competition. Liang Hanqing leaned against the window, looking at the railroad tracks passing by below. A fair face was reflected on the transparent window, moist, handsome and gentle.

He raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting opposite him. Qi Hengzhi was sitting opposite him. He didn't know what was going on. Last night, the child seemed to have gone crazy. He didn't sleep all night, and he kept painting with one hand. It's not like I just sat there and fell asleep as soon as I got in the car today.

They were on the train to Province S. Just after lunch, most of the people in the carriage were taking a nap. Province C to Province S was a long distance after all.

Looking away, Liang Hanqing actually wanted to sleep too. He was going to the competition in two days, so he had to hurry up to be in a good state, but Liang Hanqing couldn't sleep.

It had been more than three hours since the train left the station, and it was extremely boring. Liang Hanqing started to stare at Qi Hengzhi's face, wondering why he went crazy these days, and stayed up all night last night without sleeping.

Qi Hengzhi, who had been sleeping soundly all of a sudden, frowned fiercely, a thin layer of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.

"Qi Hengzhi! Qi Hengzhi!" Seeing Qi Hengzhi's frown, Liang Hanqing frowned slightly as if infected.In fact, Qi Hengzhi's nightmares are not a matter of a day or two. Since last week, they have been repeated repeatedly. I still remember that when Qi Hengzhi had a nightmare for the first time, Liang Hanqing slept relatively lightly that day. When he heard the noise, he got up and took a look. Unexpectedly, Qi Hengzhi on the opposite bed was panting like a fish dying out of water. Liang Hanqing was so frightened that he hurriedly woke him up. After waking up, Qi Hengzhi didn't explain anything. , thanked him, turned over with a sullen face and remained silent.In the next few days, Qi Hengzhi seemed to be getting more and more wrong, and his mental state was very bad. Liang Hanqing told Pan Xiu, who came to counseling, without telling Qi Hengzhi about it, but Pan Xiu sighed and told him not to worry too much. Like knowing a lot of things.So Liang Hanqing had to get up every night to see if he was having nightmares, but last night Liang Hanqing didn't get up to watch because Qi Hengzhi didn't sleep at all.

The two of them went to Province S alone this time, because the teachers were all busy and couldn't get away, so Liang Hanqing really didn't want any more accidents.

Seeing that he couldn't be woken up, Liang Hanqing stood up, leaned over and shook Qi Hengzhi vigorously, Qi Hengzhi was slowly awakened by the shaking, and when he opened his eyes, he was not as lazy as a person who just woke up, but Very sober.

Liang Hanqing returned to his seat, took out water from the backpack beside him, and handed it to Qi Hengzhi. Qi Hengzhi took the water, twisted the bottle cap and held it in his hand, took a few sips slowly, and tightened the cap again. Handed it back.

Liang Hanqing was quite worried to be honest, she looked at Qi Hengzhi worriedly, put away the water glass, and Liang Hanqing planned to ask.

So he asked, "You've been having nightmares for the past few days, what's going on?"

Qi Hengzhi waved his hands, as if he didn't want to answer, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair to fall asleep.

Knowing that he was not asleep, Liang Hanqing continued, "Should we still play that bet between the two of us? Seeing you in such a listless state, I really don't believe you will make it to the finals." During these days of getting along, he gradually realized that Qi Hengzhi is a stubborn person, if he is not soft enough, he can only resort to aggressive tactics.

Qi Hengzhi opened his eyes, looked at Liang Hanqing who was facing him with a worried face, moved his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Liang Hanqing didn't have any hope at first, but since she doesn't want to say it now, she will always say it in the future.

"Actually...it's nothing." At this moment, Qi Hengzhi spoke.Thick eyelashes covered deep eyes, and slender fingers tapped the table.Every time Qi Hengzhi was restless, he would do this little trick.After a little distraction, Liang Hanqing realized that he knew Qi Hengzhi so well now, his preferences, his temper, and his small movements were all clear.

"I have participated in many competitions before..." Before Liang Hanqing could think about it, Qi Hengzhi had already started talking.

"I have also won many awards, well, it should be said that I have won awards every time. But one year in the competition, I ran into Shen Chao, and he took home the first place, and I only took second place. It was a very sure award, but because of Shen Chao, he just passed me by."

"You may have heard of that competition. It is a very famous children's painting award. It seems to be called 'Colored Pencil'. Everyone in the family thought I would win the first place and gave them high hopes. I didn't expect to be awarded by Shen Chao, who is not well-known. People took it."

"I remember when I stood in the second position, my grandfather kept sighing. Later, I never met Shen Chao again, but when I thought of that game, and with him in the national competition, it was nothing at first, but the schedule was getting better and better. As it approaches, I feel a little stressed, and I usually have nightmares when I’m stressed, so I’ve been out of shape for the past few days.”

After Qi Hengzhi finished speaking, his frowning brows immediately calmed down, and he was slightly relieved.When he was young, due to family reasons, he pursued perfection and was ahead of everything. Although Shen Chao, although only once, did not deal a big blow to Qi Hengzhi, the proud son of heaven, but the shadow left by his childhood grew up. will gradually become larger.

It turned out that Shen Chao had heard of him, a very low-key painter, but he did paint very well, but the evaluation of the paintings was not as good as that of Qi Hengzhi in the future.Unexpectedly, the current Qi Hengzhi has a shadow on Shen Chao.

Liang Hanqing looked at Qi Hengzhi, his dark and clear eyes were full of smiles, as if the stars in the sky were crushed and spread inside, bright and bright, he said: "It's so many years, thank you for remembering, I guess Shen Chao has forgotten about it, he was not as good as him before, but it may not be the same now, if you don't adjust your state to the best, how can you prove that you are better than him?!"

Qi Hengzhi looked into Liang Hanqing's eyes, as if he was sucked by the starlight, drowned in it, and refused to come out. Hearing what Liang Hanqing said, he nodded indiscriminately, but admired in his heart, Liang Hanqing's eyes are so beautiful.

Liang Hanqing also saw Qi Hengzhi's wandering mind, he was a little dumbfounded, and wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Qi Hengzhi staring at him blankly, he stopped, now it's useless to say it, and he can't listen Anyway, after saying these words, it would be best for Qi Hengzhi to adjust himself.

Anyway, he felt that the reason why Qi Hengzhi was so sensitive to Shen Chao was completely a shadow of his childhood.

While the two were silent, the voice of the stewardess sounded, and after a while, the train stopped slowly, Province S, finally arrived.

Taking a deep breath, Liang Hanqing stood up and was about to take the luggage, but found that Qi Heng who was opposite him had already helped him take it down. Liang Hanqing wanted to carry it, but Qi Hengzhi refused to let him go.Liang Hanqing had no choice but to follow him.

The two got out of the car and entered the waiting hall. After looking around a few times, they saw a bus specially coming to pick them up.He hurried over to take out the certificate of passing the provincial competition, put away his luggage, and Qi Hengzhi and Liang Hanqing got into the car one after the other.

There were not many people in the car, only 7 or 8 people, and there were many empty seats.

Liang Hanqing took a seat at the back and sat down, and Qi Hengzhi also sat beside her.

In front of Liang Hanqing was a girl who was flipping through a book. As soon as she got in the car, Liang Hanqing noticed the girl, not because of her beauty, but because of her eyes.A magazine blocked the girl's facial expression, but a pair of eyes shuttled back and forth between him and Qi Heng like X-rays, even emitting a faint green light.In order not to make her back feel hairy, Liang Hanqing chose this back position.
