As soon as Chen Xing arrived home, her mother asked this question.
For a moment, Chen Xing felt like time was being rewound. Did her cousin say the same thing when she first got off the airport?
"It's okay, I'm living a pretty good life." Chen Xing put down his things first and then said, "I rented a house in the past. The family was quite rich, and the food and accommodation were pretty good, but I missed the food at home a little bit.
”
This sentence made my mother smile, and she took Chen Xing and looked at it for a long time.
I want to say that Chen Xing has lost weight, but I can’t say it...
Compared with when he went out in April, his figure is not much different, but he has changed his hair style. In the past, Chen Xing had long hair for men. Sometimes he liked to tie a bun on the back of his head, and sometimes he combed his hair into a three-quarter length.
Beautiful.
Now I have a short haircut. 阑
"Why did you change your hairstyle? Like those who play football?"
Chen Xing smiled and said: "I may be very busy in the future, so it will be convenient to cut it short."
I don’t know if only boys from the art department like to have long hair. Anyway, many people Chen Xing knows like it. They have it cut, cut and grown again, over and over again.
Don’t think that a person is sloppy just because his hair is long.
Many of the celebrities I see on TV have medium to long hair after they have just washed their hair and not styled their hair.
Mom hesitated for a while and said: "It looks different from those who are engaged in art."
"Haha." Lan
Chen Xing hugged her mother, then opened the suitcase and said, "I brought you perfume and cosmetics. But many of my friends say that it is more suitable for us Asians to use Japanese and Korean cosmetics."
My mother took it and looked at it, rolled her eyes at what Chen Xing said and said, "I think our own brand is the most suitable."
"Okay, I'll bring you some when the time comes, and you can see what feels comfortable."
"Oh, don't worry about it. Your dad will buy it for me, and you don't have to bring me any gifts. Really, even if I know so much, I won't see you bring me a daughter-in-law. Let me tell you, if you don't get married, mom
We are all old."
When Chen Xing secretly fell in love with someone else, her mother said she shouldn’t fall in love prematurely. It’s only been a few years...
"Okay, I'm going to buy some food."
She is going to show off her skills today.阑
But Chen Xing doesn't want to eat home-cooked food when he comes back today. He wants to go to the square to eat hot pot.
In Paris, there are all kinds of meats and breads. Chen Xing has long been tired of eating them, and now he wants to eat two hot pot meals to nourish his stomach.
Others who study abroad may have to adapt to Sichuan Province for two days when they first return, but Chen Xing doesn't have to. No matter how much he eats, he won't have diarrhea. This (iron stomach) skill that he didn't look at before will probably be very useful in Africa.<
/p>
During dinner in the evening, Chen Xing sat with his parents in a hot pot restaurant.
His good looks alone drove at least 20% of the store's business. There were always people at the surrounding tables, either high school girls or young girls in their twenties. Looking at Chen Xing almost made her drool.
.
Chen Xing also said that he will leave the country in a few days.
"Aren't you on summer vacation? How many days will you be back this time?" Lan
"Well, there is still something going on over there on Hong Kong Island. I didn't bother to come back after I went there, so I went directly to Africa for internship."
"Go to Africa? Isn't it very hot?"
"It should be okay, but if it doesn't work, I'll just be lazy and hide. I heard that it won't get hot if you don't bask in the sun." Chen Xing comforted his parents.
In order to graduate early, sometimes you still have to do what you have to do.
When Cao Cao arrived, Professor Nobel called Chen Xing.
"I submitted the work for the photography festival to you, and the organizing committee liked it very much, haha, so I really don't know what the people at the Paris Academy of Fine Arts are thinking. You can rest assured, and your work will be submitted the next day.
It's a great location to start exhibiting at the Colosseum."
Chen Xing wondered: "Is there also a Colosseum in Arles? The Colosseum in ancient Rome?" Lan
"Yes, it is a complete ancient Roman Colosseum, but its area and fame are not as large as those in Italy."
"Professor, now I really regret not going to see it."
"As you said, you still have a lot of time to attend the Arles Photography Festival, but the opportunity to travel to Africa with us is only this once. If you want to be a good photographer, Africa is the place for you."
Not to be missed."
"Okay, okay."
Chen Xing chatted with the professor for a while and then hung up.
There was a girl next to me who thought she was pretty good-looking. When she heard Chen Xing speak in French, the thoughts in her heart were suddenly suppressed. A person is handsome, well-dressed, and can speak French so well.
A fluent boy, am I worthy of asking for WeChat?
Therefore, sometimes excellent people are more likely to be single, that’s it. 阑
Chen Xing has been very busy in the past few weeks and finally had time to rest. Chen Xing didn't want to go out for fun during these few days. That would be too tiring. So he stayed at home and was a slacker for two days. Anyway, he has parents.
When cooking, you can only wash the dishes yourself.
I applied for the documents a few days in advance and boarded the flight to Hong Kong Island on the 16th.
After passing customs, Chen Xing saw his name among the people picking him up at the airport.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, welcome to Hong Kong Island. I wish you all the best in your trip to Hong Kong Island. This is a small gift from us."
The person in charge of picking up the plane was a middle-aged lady with a hairstyle like Rene Liu, gold-rimmed glasses, and a gentle voice.
The gift is pink paper.
To be precise, it was a flower made of paper. I don’t know how it was folded. When you hold it from a distance, it looks just like the real thing. Chen Xing also didn’t expect to receive a flower made of paper when he got off the plane.
This made Chen Xing feel a little fond of this sister.阑
Chen Xing said: "The plane is late, have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Fortunately, while waiting for your plane to arrive, my friend and I also drank tea in the coffee shop inside the airport. You came at the right time today. There was a typhoon in Hong Kong Island a few days ago, and it rained heavily for several days.
”
The eldest sister chatted with Chen Xing in an easy-going manner, and this kindness made Chen Xing feel very relaxed.
She drove Chen Xing to a hotel in Central. The lobby of this hotel alone could accommodate hundreds of people. Looking at the flooring, could this lobby be suitable for a dance party? On the left side of the front desk as you entered, there were five people wearing clothes.
The girl in uniform is working.
After checking in, she said: "This is where we will hold the press conference in two days. You can go to bed early. Do you want me to take you around tomorrow?"
"No, I can just take a look at it myself."
"Well, I wish you a pleasant trip. We, Mr. Wu, want to have dinner with you tomorrow night. You see..." Lan
"Okay, you can let me know when the time comes."
Watching the eldest sister retreat with a smile on his face, Chen Xing looked around the room with a relaxed expression.
The first thing you see after entering the door is a living room, next to it is the bathroom, and further inside is a bedroom... It's actually a suite?
From the receptionist to the room, Chen Xing felt the sincerity of this company. Although he didn't know much about this company, this kind of reception naturally made people feel more favorable.
Chen Xing took a bath and prepared to read a book and go to bed on the balcony of the living room.
But the scenery outside the window is colorful. There is an old man singing on the street downstairs. His voice can be vaguely transmitted to the floor where Chen Xing is. The neon colors are messy. If you want to look at this kind of color, your eyes will be very tired.
.
However, isn’t this what a modern city looks like? 阑
Chen Xing took out his camera and took a photo, thought for a while, and put on his clothes.
Before the day comes, take a look at the nightlife on Hong Kong Island.
The current season is summer, and it’s a bit hot during the day, but I heard from my eldest sister that there was a typhoon and rain a few days ago, and now I feel a bit like spring breeze when I go out, and the air after being washed by the rain is also particularly pure.
Hong Kong Island is a window for China to the outside world. It has been influenced by many European countries over the past century. People here adhere to traditional culture, but at the same time they also accept modern concepts, forming a unique Hong Kong Island culture.
For example, the queue here.
Although it is night, you can see orderly queues everywhere on the streets. There is no chaos in their queues. I don’t know where I learned this habit. Anyway, you can’t see it in China. France doesn’t take queues so seriously.
of.
Chen Xing takes pictures of people passing by with his camera from time to time. 阑
There is actually a little surprise for the photographer here. When the beauties saw the camera passing by, they became less shy, had more courage to face the camera, and became more natural... Maybe the photographer here is too
How many?
The more international the metropolis, the more photographers there are.
After all, fashion companies are concentrated in these places, as well as entertainment companies, Internet celebrity companies, etc., and even more people take personal photos than in other cities.
As for photographer training techniques, at least Chen Xing trained his own skills by photographing beauties on the street.
I only take photos of beauties, not the pretty ones.
Therefore, if there are people like Chen Xing, then beautiful girls, who know how to put on makeup, have good clothes, and have good temperament, will inexplicably have someone turn their camera on you while walking.
The more times you do it, the more you get used to it.阑
The lens feel will naturally get better and better.
Chen Xing saw a girl at a flower stand on the street. She wore gray sweatpants, a military green tight-fitting tube top and a navel-baring sling, green hair, and silver earrings. She had a sassy temperament. When Chen Xing passed by, she was instantly attracted by it.
Attracted.
First he took a picture, and then Chen Xing shouted: "Beauty, look here!"
When she looked over, she was a little confused for the first time. Chen Xing took a picture, and then she smiled naturally. The scene was so beautiful, Chen Xing took a few more pictures.
"Hello, can you come here?"
From where she stood, Chen Xing could only take pictures of the highway. Using the highway as the background, even if it was blurred, was not as good as using the street as the background, especially the crowds on the street. This is definitely an excellent background for street portraits.
Of course, sometimes there are better ones, but crowds are versatile, right? 阑
Before Chen Xing finished taking the photo, a person suddenly appeared at the edge of his field of vision, also holding a camera. In an instant, he took several photos in a row.
He was wearing a sun hat, and a Nikon camera hung on his chest. It seemed to be a D6. The body was very large and looked very heavy. If a better lens were added, it would probably be difficult for ordinary people to hold it with one hand.
Move.
When Chen Xing looked over, he smiled at Chen Xing: "Young man, what kind of camera are you holding?"
"How about an ordinary camera?"
Better than you anyway!
Chen Xing couldn't reveal his camera, so he hid it aside.
"Cameras cannot be replaced quickly, so just buy the best one and it will last for a long time." 阑
"Yeah."
Chen Xing agreed perfunctorily, nodded to the dark-faced beauty, and left directly.
Before he had gone far, he heard a word coming from behind him.
"Qiqi, who is he?"
“It’s so annoying to take pictures!”
Chen Xing looked back and saw that the plain-looking d6 photographer was fleeing under the gaze of the 1.9-meter-nine strong man. The beautiful woman was laughing so hard that Chen Xing had the urge to take two photos of her.
p>
Forget it, forget it, we won’t take pictures of people with boyfriends.阑
Lost.
Hong Kong Island at night seems not to be much different from the daytime. Some street shops are closed, but the catering industry is still open. Even some brand stores and jewelry stores on the road still have lights on, and from time to time someone helps beautiful women go in.<
/p>
There are so many beauties in Hong Kong Island.
Chen Xing only takes pictures of those who are alone, and sometimes he can hardly take pictures.
He doesn't know what this street is called, but he always meets the kind of girl who makes his heart flutter from time to time... Just like the beautiful girl in a suspender belt that Chen Xing took a photo of just now. It's a pity that her boyfriend has arrived. If he arrives a little later, he might still be able to get her.
Help lead the way.
After all, I just came here and can’t find anything interesting in Hong Kong Island.
After passing a street, Chen Xing smelled a very fragrant smell.阑
It came from a long way away.
Chen Xing followed the smell and found it when he saw the sign on the cart and realized it was selling fish balls.
He remembered that he often saw fish balls appearing when watching Hong Kong movies. He thought that Hong Kong Island was not only the place of origin but also the place of development. The fish balls made in cities near the sea would definitely be good, so he went there to buy one and try it.
p>
What we had tonight was airplane food. After landing and shopping for so long, Chen Xing was also hungry.
The fish balls served by the owner of this small cart are freshly cooked and sold, and they are steaming hot. He does not sell them on skewers, but puts them into the bowl with tongs. The owner gave Chen Xing three, which were quite big. At least an adult man cannot eat them in one bite.
Put it in your mouth.
After taking the fish balls, the boss asked: "This is your first time coming to Hong Kong Island, handsome."
"Yes." Lan
"Come on, come on, I'll give you one more. The fish balls we sell are time-honored and have been selling them since my grandfather's generation."
Chen Xing saw that he was no longer young, so he thought their family's craftsmanship had been passed down for hundreds of years.
He thanked the boss, found a seat, and took a bite of the fish balls.
Something's wrong!
It was quite elastic, and a small part of the fish ball was eaten by Chen Xing. The fish ball stuck in the skewer rebounded hard, and the juice splashed everywhere, and Chen Xing's face was stained with some sauce.
His soup is turbid and slightly gray, but it tastes good.
This kind of taste is combined with the elastic fish balls, and the aroma seems to bounce back and forth, running rampant in the mouth... Lan
"Yeah! It's quite delicious, boss!"
"Hahaha, is that enough? Give you one more?"
"No, no, no!"
The boss thought Chen Xing said it was enough, after all, the fish balls he made were larger, but Chen Xing quickly stood up and said:
