Start with "pro"

"Are you a friend?" Danny was curious, and then teased, "Is he a handsome guy, could it be your ex-boyfriend? You know, when people want to draw something, they always think of their ex first..."

He intended to tease casually, but Zheng Yuming's expression changed a few times before he finished speaking.

Y opened his mouth wide: "I... I guessed right? Oh my God... Sorry, I didn't mean to..."

He felt that he must have forgotten to take his medicine today, why did he always hit Zheng Yuming's Achilles' heel.

He looked at the painting in his hand again and took a closer look.

The man in the painting has a handsome appearance, sitting on the grass in a shirt and jeans, nodding his head slightly, looking down at the kitten in front of him with a smile on his face, the cat raised its head and stretched out a paw to his face , leaned over to kiss him.

The handsome and gentle man and the cute and docile cat constitute a warm picture, which makes people want to go to play with the people in the picture.

The strange thing is that the picture of the man is more delicate than the cat, the lines are very beautiful, the light and shadow are handled very well, and even the shadow cast by the eyelashes is very clear.His hair has been drawn countless times, and the texture of his clothes has been polished for a long time, especially those gentle eyes, which make people addicted to it.

"This is..." Danny looked at Zheng Yuming, "The person who made you worry?"

Zheng Yuming raised his head and asked, "How do you know that I miss him so much?"

"Your eyes..." Danny's eyes were soft, and he couldn't help sighing softly, "Nico, when you think of him, there are only these words in your eyes."

Zheng Yuming smiled strangely for a moment, lowered his head and put away the frame, and wrote lightly: "I have already lost him."

Y is the one who witnessed the moment when he made that cruel decision, so he feels very sorry for his current calm attitude.He knew how painful it was for Zheng Yuming to make such a decision, and this year's getting along made him realize even more clearly that even though the two of them broke up, Zheng Yuming had never erased that person from his heart. The sense of existence became stronger, and in all the silent moments of Zheng Yuming, that person was his only thought.

Y was a little confused about why the two of them loved each other so much but had to separate. He felt that the Chinese had too many concerns, but he was just a friend and couldn't interfere too much. Zheng Yuming didn't mention it, and he couldn't take the initiative to talk about it.

After seeing off Zheng Yuming's family, he soon began a three-month exchange period to China.

Zheng Yuming once sent him a local travel guide, but his schedule was too busy, he spent all day in the hospital and hotels, and rarely had the opportunity to go out to rest. It was not until the end of the second month of the exchange period that he had time to spend time after get off work. Go shopping around the night market.

This afternoon, they ended their three-hour discussion with the Chinese side, and several colleagues changed their clothes and got off work together.The elevator went down to the ground floor, and they walked out talking and laughing. The elevator behind them was soon full of people, and a man walked towards them quickly, saying, "Please wait!"

He accidentally bumped into Danny's shoulder, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Sorry!"

Y just wanted to say it's okay, but the moment he turned his head, he saw the other person's face flashing past, those eyes seemed familiar.

He was stunned for a moment, and then Zheng Yuming's painting suddenly flashed through his mind.

The man squeezed into the elevator, staring down at his watch.

y rushed over almost instantly: "!"

He squeezed in at the last second of the elevator closing.In the crowd, he and the man squeezed shoulder to shoulder to the door.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced over, and the more he looked, the more he looked like it.

The man is wearing a navy blue suit, tall and handsome, with a high nose, tight lips and furrowed brows showing his inner worry and anxiety, but his movements are very restrained, even if he is crowded by a group of people, he still stands calmly. At the door, his face was calm.

Some people went up and down the elevator in the middle, and the two of them were pushed to the back.

y noticed that the other party was dressed in a very refined and concise manner. The suit, leather shoes, tie, and wristwatch all fit his temperament very well. chat.

He went down on the eighth floor and followed closely behind.

At first he was quite sure that this person was like the man in the painting, but now he became more and more suspicious.

The facial features of this man are more profound, and the calm and introverted brows are completely different from the gentle and cheerful young man in the painting. He walks a little fast, but walks calmly and unrestrainedly. He has the confidence and stability of a mature man, but there are some pictures missing on his body. The kind of jumping vitality and exposed cheerfulness.

Is it really the same person? Danny is puzzled.

The man walked quickly and there was no one to be found in the blink of an eye. He hesitated for a moment and stayed where he was waiting.

The colleague asked him why he ran back suddenly, should he wait for his y reply to let them go first.

In fact, he still wanted to find out if it was the same person.

The other party obviously came to the inpatient department to visit the patient, but he didn't know who was sick. He vaguely remembered that this was the geriatric department, and it was probably some elder who was in the hospital.

About an hour later, the man came out with a middle-aged aunt.The two were talking, with an intimate attitude and a smile on their faces. They should be relatives. Y observed for a while, and found that when the man smiled, he looked more like the portrait in the painting. His expression was relaxed, his eyes were slightly curved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was relaxed and bright. I don't know what he said to make the aunt laugh, and he snorted softly, with a kind of naughty sunshine.

The aunt dismissed him and returned to the ward by herself. The young man waved to her before walking towards this side.He made a phone call as he walked, with a familiar attitude: "Zhou Han, are Kou Xin and Huang Qian here? Kou Xin, his wife and children are here? Oh, super daddy is very self-conscious..."

Seeing that he didn't notice her, y took two steps forward.

Liu Qijun thought he was in the way, so he moved aside for him and asked him to pass, with a smile on his face: "I'm still in the hospital, my dad just has high blood pressure, it scared me to death. The doctor said he should be hospitalized for two days for observation." , my mother has been watching him in the hospital for the past two days, her face is stinky, and my father was scared..."

Y had to interrupt aloud: "Sir, excuse me..."

Liu Qijun covered the phone, looked at the foreign man in front of him, and said politely: "Hello, how can I help?"

"You...what's your name?" Danny straightened out his Chinese thoughts and continued to explain, "I want to say...you...do you know Nico?"

"nico?" Liu Qijun was puzzled. He confirmed that he didn't know a few foreigners, and then shook his head, "Sorry, you recognized the wrong person."

Let's go.

Y quickly chased after him and pulled his arm: "No, no... I didn't mean that, I... Zheng! Do you know Zheng?"

Liu Qijun stopped, took off his phone and stared at him: "Who are you talking about?"

"Zheng! Zheng... Yu Ming..." Danny struggled to say the name, "It seems to be called this."

"I know it." Liu Qijun had to look at the strange foreign man in front of him again, and finally found some vague fragments from the corner of his memory. He hesitated and asked, "You...you are the one who often goes to Yu Ming's house Doctor friend... from San Francisco?"

"You know me?" Danny was surprised, he had never seen Liu Qijun outside of that painting, how could the other party know him?

"I've seen you." Liu Qijun said, "Of course, you may not have noticed me."

y didn't believe it: "I haven't met you, I have a good memory."

Liu Qijun smiled slightly: "I met you in San Francisco, in the car not far from Yu Ming's house."

Y was stunned, he faintly realized something, and asked aloud: "Have you been to San Francisco?!"

Liu Qijun nodded.

"This...how is this possible? If Nico saw you, he wouldn't be so..." Danny stopped and stared at him strangely, "You...you shouldn't...just observe in the dark, right?"

Liu Qijun nodded, he glanced at his watch, there was still an hour before Zhou Han's engagement banquet, he raised his head and smiled: "Why don't we chat in another place, and I invite you to drink coffee?"

"it is good."

The two left the hospital and went to a small coffee shop nearby.

Y has been observing him, constantly guessing what happened to him this year, and he doesn't look as quiet and sad as Zheng Yuming.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Liu Qijun, and I am Zheng Yuming...that is, the boyfriend of Nico you mentioned." Liu Qijun paused, and said, "Perhaps in his opinion, he is an ex-boyfriend."

"Hello, my name is Danny, and I'm Nico's friend. I heard him talk about the things between you..." Seeing that he didn't show any surprise, Danny continued, "You...you have been here for more than a year. I've seen him, why didn't he show up?"

"The timing is not enough." Liu Qijun asked him after briefly saying these four words, "How is Yu Ming doing? Did you contact you after returning to Seattle?"

"Yes, we send emails occasionally." Danny frowned slightly, Liu Qijun actually knew about Zheng Yuming moving back to Seattle, what else did he not know?He tentatively asked, "You know his life well?"

"Forget it, I can only visit him once a month." Liu Qijun felt helpless, "I'm busy with work."

Y nodded, suddenly didn't know what to say.

Liu Qijun took the initiative to ask: "Since you have never seen me, why did you recognize me at a glance?"

"Nico drew you." Danny gestured, "It's not you now, the smiling one... there is a kitten... cute!"

Liu Qijun was stunned for a moment, remembering the photo hanging in his bedroom, Zheng Yuming had only seen it once, and unexpectedly... Remember it?His eyes moved, and his expression softened: "He can draw?"

"Yes! Sketching, he seems to be good at watercolor... but I haven't seen it." Danny was a little distressed, "He puts it away...not for anyone to see."

Liu Qijun asked: "What do I look like in the painting?"

"You are young, handsome, and very gentle." Danny pointed at his smiling face and said, "When you smile, it looks just like the painting."

Liu Qijun couldn't help but smile even wider.Knowing that the one he loves is also thinking about him, this kind of joy and satisfaction makes him feel gentle.

Y was a little dazed, the man opposite him was really strange, he had an indifferent and calm look before, but when he smiled, he had a deep gentleness and was full of charm.He couldn't help asking: "You...you two broke up for more than a year, how did you spend it?"

Liu Qijun picked up the coffee and took a sip, gently put the cup on the saucer, looked sideways at a certain point in the distance, and said lightly: "A person's life is similar to his, but he is a little busy."

y held the coffee and listened quietly.
