The joy of rebirth

In the early morning, Xue Yan was woken up by the alarm clock, got up from the bed in a daze, and went into the bathroom topless.

After taking a shower, he accidentally knocked a few bottles and cans to the ground, and Xue Yan finally came to his senses.Look at the watch, it's already 7:40.

I haven't drawn for a long time, and I don't have to go to work today.Just go to the park to sketch.

After finding a place with a good view by the lake in the park, Xue Yan sat down with peace of mind and began to draw.

Xue Yan remembered that he had read the notes on the painting methods of rivers, rivers, lakes and seas in traditional Chinese paintings. Expressed with the fish scale pattern, outline with the middle side pen, pay attention to smoothness, coherence, and ease.Generally speaking, the water surface of the lake is relatively large, so it is necessary to deal with the effect of large-scale water lines. When drawing continuously, pay attention to the size of the water lines to be uniform, and the changes of the water lines should be natural and vivid, and it is best not to be rigid.

While pondering and drawing, half a day passed without knowing it.When Xue Yan came back to his senses, he realized that there were several people standing beside him.When people saw that he had finished painting, they even applauded.

A woman in her early 30s smiled at him and asked, "Young man, your paintings are very good. Are you an artist?"

"Yes." Xue Yan also said with a smile.

"Seeing how young you are, you are still a student, right?"

Xue Yan packed up his painting tools and said, "Well, I'm still studying in the Academy of Fine Arts."

"My child has been clamoring to learn to draw, but I didn't agree with it at first. But it's not bad to see you draw today, at least it's a hobby." The woman seemed to be talking to herself.

A young man next to him interrupted and said, "Oh, big sister, it's not easy for a child to learn something, so just let him learn it. My dad insisted on not letting me learn my special skills, saying that he was not doing a good job. Very sorry."

"Really?" asked an old man, thinking of his precious granddaughter who said he wanted to learn the flute.

"That's not it!" The young man curled his lips and said, "Although I'm doing well now and earning a lot of money, I still feel regretful when I think about it. It's not that I'm just fooling around. There is no chance to do it all over again.”

Others chattered about the child's specialties and interests, but Xue Yan's thoughts stayed on the sentence "There is no chance to do it all over again".I can be regarded as an exception... If I didn't fall into this child named Xue Yan by accident, would I just leave this world?Will those regrets of my own be regretted forever?

Thinking of the feeling when he was dying, Xue Yan smiled lightly.In fact, when death really came, there was only a blank in my heart.No fear, just a little tired, and a little confused——"So this is going to die."

If I had to talk about other feelings, it would probably be...worry.I'm afraid that person won't be able to accept it, and I'm afraid that he will be lonely.

Returning to the hut he rented from the park, Xue Yan looked at the two extra pieces of paper with phone numbers in his hand with a smile.The two parents wanted to invite themselves to be tutors on the spot, and said that the price was negotiable.

……Little new?

The air is filled with moist air, as if hazy with fog.In the distance, there was a man in a white shirt sitting in front of the easel... Qi Yang stared at him blankly.

Ke Xin was painting, all his attention was on the canvas, as if he didn't notice the man standing there stupidly at all.

Qi Yang came back to his senses and raised his foot to walk over, but found that he couldn't move at all.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any closer to that person.

He could only watch the figure of that person getting further and further away.

"Little new……"

When he opened his eyes suddenly, what he saw was the sunlight that filled the room.

...Is it because I have been too busy with work these days, or maybe my curiosity about that child made Xiaoxin unhappy?Qi Yang closed his eyes, and there were gradually traces of bitterness on his lips.

A month passed in a flash.

When there was only one week left before the start of school, Xue Yan secretly made a decision in his heart.

"If I remember correctly," Qi Yang leaned back in his chair and looked at Xue Yan who was standing in front of the table. "There are still five days until the end of the employment period written in the contract?"

"So I want to ask for leave."

Qi Yang smiled lightly, "Well, if you insist on using the word 'leave', may I ask you why you can ask for five days' leave?"

Xue Yan paused, but only said two words - "Private matters."

Qi Yang looked at him in surprise, but didn't stop him. After a long time, he said: "... If you really think about it, go to the personnel department to submit your resignation letter. The salary will be calculated, and the contract will be expired early."

Xue Yan stared blankly at Qi Yang's plain expression, as if his leaving was a trivial matter to him.In my heart, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Her lips pursed, and after all she just said, "I see."

Xue Yan handed in his resignation.While being surprised, someone enthusiastically asked if he should be given an internship certificate.Xue Yan politely declined, while simply tidying up the things he left in the company.

"I hope to see you again in the future." When sending Xue Yan out, Linda said so sincerely.

"Goodbye." Xue Yan smiled.

Two days later, Xue Yan embarked on the road of "returning home".This homecoming is not the other homecoming, this time the destination is Xue Yan's old hometown, which is Ke Xin's hometown.
