When the bamboo shoots were dug back, Lin Qingzhi's hands were only slightly dirty, while Cheng Huanchong's whole body was dirty, as if he had rolled in the mud.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the villa, Cheng Huanchong turned around excitedly.
Lin Qingzhi stopped and handed the freshly unearthed bamboo shoots to the bodyguard.
"Ask the chef to cook. One portion will be made into soup and the other portion will be stir-fried. Instead of eating bamboo shoots for dinner, we will prepare one or two stream fish for steaming."
"Yes, Mr. Qing." The bodyguard took it respectfully.
Lin Qingzhi thought for a while and warned: "A Chong doesn't like mushrooms that are too strong, so just ask the chef to replace them with ordinary mushrooms. In addition, add a barbecue dish at noon and add more pepper."
"Okay." The bodyguard replied and hurried to the kitchen.
Cheng Huanchong washed his hands and feet in the small stream outside the gate, blowing the cool breeze from the mountains and soaking in the cool stream water. He couldn't bear to get up at all, so he just sat on the big pebbles and stayed still.
Lin Qingzhi brought out two glasses of fresh juice and handed him one.
"You're dirty. Finish your drink and go upstairs to change clothes."
Cheng Huan Chong happily drank the juice and muttered: "What are you afraid of! I'll go later. Anyway, I still want to play with water. I'll change it together when it gets wet."
Lin Qingzhi shook his head: "No, you just sweated all over. The stream is too cool. If you just wash your hands and feet, that's it. Playing in the water and swimming will definitely not work. If I came out earlier, I wouldn't even let you wash your feet."
"It's a hot day, wouldn't it be better to cool down?" Cheng Huanchong couldn't help but joke: "We are here to escape the heat, not to spend the winter."
Lin Qingzhi smiled slightly, his eyebrows and eyes full of tenderness.
"The temperature in the mountains is low, and the temperature of the stream is even lower. If you are too greedy for cold, you might catch a cold. If you fall ill, we have to pack up and go back immediately."
Cheng Huanchong didn't take it seriously at all and said: "I'm a grown man, so I can drink more water and boil it for two days and I'll be fine. Make some ginger soup in the kitchen and I'll be fine if I drink it."
"What's the point of this?" Lin Qingzhi glanced at him and asked: "In order to be comfortable for a while, you will not hesitate to destroy the healthy balance of the body, and then make up for it - the body is your own, and this is how you protect it? Huh?"
Cheng Huanchong looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "What a shame!"
Among the younger generation, he is considered a person who is very good at taking care of his body.
My parents are very health-conscious people, and there is an eldest brother in the family who used to be a doctor. As long as there is the slightest "irregular" movement, there will be all kinds of concerns and nagging in my ears.
It's like this at home. I can finally relax a little when I go out, and occasionally indulge a little bit, but the people in front of me are more strict than the people at home.
"Dislike it?" Lin Qingzhi grabbed a handful of his waist and hummed: "As long as I can't stand it, I have to say it. I can ignore other people, but you - I have control."
Cheng Huan Chongjun's face turned slightly red, and instead of continuing to soak in the stream, he stretched out his feet and wiped them clean.
At this time, his mobile phone beeped!
He took out his cell phone, glanced at it lazily, seemed to hesitate for a while, and then slowly put the phone away.
Lin Qingzhi is a person who observes extremely subtle things, and he can feel his emotional changes all of a sudden.
"What? The editor urged the manuscript?"
Cheng Huanchong shook his head and did not hide anything from him.
"The teacher sent me a message and advised me to prepare the application materials as soon as possible. He also said that the deadline is next week and I must not miss it."
Lin Qingzhi listened calmly and asked in a low voice: "You haven't made a decision yet? Huh?"
Cheng Huanchong seemed angry and his voice became louder unconsciously.
"What decision can I make? Do you want me to go, or do you want me not to go? What? My decision has nothing to do with you? I can go if I want to, and I don't have to discuss it with you? And I don't have to discuss it with my parents?"
Isn't he the one who should be most concerned about whether he wants to go abroad?
I have been waiting for him for a long time, but he seems to be much more patient than me. I really don’t know if he is too calm and confident, or if he doesn’t care about me too much!
Lin Qingzhi laughed softly and said warmly: "If you want to go, then go. I will support you in whatever you like to do."
"Really?" Cheng Huanchong seemed to be even more angry, and said in a deep voice: "If I like it and decide to study abroad after the application is approved, what will you do? Not ten days and a half, not three months, but three years! Do you support it?
?Are you sure? How will you support me?"
Not a few miles away, but thousands of miles away.
Not two or three months, but more than three years!
Lin Qingzhi smiled fondly: "Didn't you say that just now? If you really like it, then I will naturally support you. I will wait for you as long as you go. I will fly over to you whenever I have time. My future schedule
It’s all about you.”
Cheng Huanchong was slightly stunned.
The anger in my heart was instantly extinguished by his words, without even a spark left.
"What...are you doing to be so nice to me? I'm starting to worry."
Lin Qingzhi raised his eyebrows and then smiled dumbly.
"If I am not good to you, who should I be good to? In my heart, you and my closest relatives have always been in the same position. You are still young and have your own ambitions and ideals to pursue. If you want to go, I will definitely have to
Supported.”
Cheng Huanchong lowered his eyes, his eyes full of hesitation.
"Actually, I don't know whether to go or not. For me, painting is already a part of my life. Regardless of whether I will continue to study in this major, I will still insist on painting. Can I study abroad?
It doesn’t have much appeal to me.”
Lin Qingzhi nodded lightly: "I understand what you mean."
Cheng Huanchong raised his eyes and stared at him, asking: "Really? Can you understand?"
"Yes." Lin Qingzhi's voice was like water: "As early as ten years ago, you already liked painting. You even secretly painted for a long time at that time, and you didn't dare to let your uncles and aunts know, right?"
"Yeah." Cheng Huanchong lowered his voice: "I was scolded, but later my mother saved me and supported me to learn painting. My mother supported me mentally, and my father supported me in action. At first, he was very angry.
, scolded me for interfering with my study and rest, but he did not stop me. Instead, he inquired about the most famous painting studio nearby, and then sent me to study on time every weekend. He took me to and from school, rain or shine, for several years, until I graduated from high school. I
When I was admitted to Tokyo University, I also chose my major."
Lin Qingzhi smiled and asked: "So, even if you choose other majors, you will still continue to paint, right? You are not studying to paint, but you will keep painting, right?"
"Yes." Cheng Huanchong nodded: "I do think so. In my opinion, I don't have to go to Imperial University to study, or go to a famous foreign school to study well. I will stick to painting.
