Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Nan Nan, my figure is worse than his, so why not look at me?
It's warmer here than in Xiacheng. After washing up, Sheng Jianan put on a slightly thin coat and tied the hair on his forehead, which he had not had time to cut, into a small bun with the tendon given by the homestay.
Then he looked at the 80,000 cash in his schoolbag, stuffed the painting tool kit and folding chair on top, and wrapped the money more tightly.
Because he couldn't use his cell phone and didn't take out the change in his phone in time, this cash was Sheng Jianan's life-saving money for a long time to come.
Seeing the money, Sheng Jianan couldn't help but think of Jiang Chi again. He was stunned for a while, put on his schoolbag, and walked out.
Walking into the lobby on the first floor, the hospitable owner of the B&B greeted him and handed him a bowl of red bean dumplings on the table with a few pieces of osmanthus sprinkled in it.
There were several bowls of it there, all for the guests passing by.
It just so happened that Sheng Jianan hadn't had breakfast yet. When he heard the two girls next to him say that it was delicious, he thanked them and took a sip.
The taste is light and sweet, not greasy, which suits his taste very well.
After drinking, Sheng Jianan put down the bowl and thanked the boss again. The boss asked him for another bowl, but he politely refused.
This is an ancient street in an ancient town. When you walk out of the B&B, the street outside is bustling with people, and both sides of the street are lined with various snack shops of various kinds.
Sheng Jianan walked around and tried some snacks that looked like they were made with natural and healthy ingredients, and they all tasted good.
After having lunch with snacks, Sheng Jianan bought a coconut. The coconut milk was sweet and refreshing, with a pure natural milky flavor.
After eating, Sheng Jianan walked deeper into the street. It is said that there is a road there that leads to the countryside. The scenery along the road is particularly beautiful and suitable for sketching, so many tourists go there to take photos.
The journey was not long, Sheng Jianan walked for less than ten minutes, and there were many tourists coming and going along the way.
The scenery here is really nice, the original rural beauty is very open at a glance. Sheng Jianan found a place with few people, took out his painting tools, and prepared to spend his afternoon peacefully.
Not long after he started painting there, people began to stop by him and praise his painting skills. People came and went in the afternoon.
By the time it was almost evening and tourists were returning, an oil painting of a beautiful rural scene was completed.
The two girls who had been standing by him for a long time whispered to each other when they saw him finish the painting. One of them politely asked, "Hello, are you selling this painting?"
Sheng Jianan was drinking water. Hearing this, he pulled up his mask and turned around: "Hello."
The girl was slightly surprised when she saw his exposed eyebrows and eyes, and then she said modestly: "I really like your painting, it is very beautiful, I want to buy it back as a souvenir, can you sell it to me?"
Sheng Jianan paused for a moment, thought about it, screwed the bottle cap on, and reminded: "This is just a casual drawing."
"It's okay, your casual drawings are also very good-looking. I can see your skills." The girl made a "1" gesture and said, "Can you sell it for 1,000 yuan?"
Sheng Jianan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll give you a discount."
Seeing that he was handsome and easy to talk to, the girl was immediately happy: "Then let's pay 800."
"Six hundred or so." Sheng Jianan said.
Hearing the two pushing each other, the girl's friends burst out laughing.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Jianan said, “But I don’t have WeChat, so I may need to accept cash.”
"That's no problem." The girl smiled generously, "I can pay by cash, WeChat, or credit card."
Finally, the oil painting was bought by the girl for six hundred yuan.
This money could at least cover Sheng Jianan's food and lodging for the next two days, so he was in a very good mood on the way back.
This at least proves that he is still able to support himself.
-
Through the channels of Jiang's father and grandfather, Jiang Chi checked all the locations and records of Sheng Jianan's mobile phone, bank card, and ID card, but found no online information, proving that he had never used them.
This means that Sheng Jianan really tried every possible way to avoid him.
Jiang Chi sat on the sofa in Jiang's father's office with an expressionless face.
Dad Jiang looked at his son on the sofa, frowned, and had a headache. He could manage hundreds of people in the company, but he couldn't manage his own perverted son.
"Your aunt Sheng and uncle Sheng have said that since Nan Nan has been restrained for too long, they want him to have some fun outside for a while." Father Jiang said, "Just leave it alone."
Jiang Chi opened his eyelids.
Jiang's father looked at him and his expression suddenly became serious: "What else? What do you want to do? Jiang Chi, let me ask you, even if you find Nan Nan now, then what? Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Chi looked at his father for a long moment, then chuckled, "What can I do? I'm just worried about his safety. As long as I can make sure he's safe, I'll do it."
Although his son has been with Sheng Jianan since he was a child, he rarely sees him for long. But he is his biological son after all. When Jiang Chi raised his eyebrows, his father knew what he was thinking. He slammed the table heavily, his hands were numb from the slap, and stared at Jiang Chi seriously: "Jiang Chi, don't make trouble for me. Nan Nan is not your property. He is an independent individual and is not controlled by you. He can go wherever he wants, you have no right to control him."
The disguised expression on Jiang Chi's face gradually collapsed.
Seeing him like this, Father Jiang sighed helplessly. He just couldn't understand how Jiang Chi could be so stubborn to treat a person as his exclusive and all his since childhood?
Originally, Jiang's father saw that his son had finally found a good friend he liked when he was a child, and he didn't have the heart to forcibly break up the pure friendship between the two children. He thought it was normal for children to have possessiveness, and as long as they were guided correctly in the future.
It is now obvious that Jiang Chi listened to their guidance with one ear and out the other. He has become even more uncontrollable as he has grown up. Even if they want to separate them, they can't. Now he has forced other people's son to run away from home.
Judging from his tone, Dad Jiang didn't know what would happen if he found Sheng Jianan. After all, the paranoia of more than ten years cannot be changed easily.
If these two children like each other and don't mind each other, then that's fine. But now it is obvious that Sheng Jianan is unwilling, and maybe even wants to have a relationship. If Jiang Chi continues like this, I don’t know what to do in the future.
You can't break his legs to stop him from looking for it.
Dad Jiang sighed with a headache. If he had known earlier, he would have been more ruthless and moved directly.
He originally thought that Jiang Chi didn't want to get married, and that the two kids would be together sooner or later, so he simply turned a blind eye.
Now he is too embarrassed to see Sheng's parents, and feels really guilty towards Sheng Jianan for making him endure Jiang Chi's overbearing possessiveness for so long.
-
After earning 600 yuan in the past two days, Sheng Jianan discovered a new business opportunity and decided to start a painting stall.
His original plan was to take orders online. With his level of skills, the income from one commercial order would be enough to support him for a while.
However, as a newcomer he liked the scenery very much. The vast nature could make him feel the fresh heartbeat and wipe away many worries in his heart.
However, oil paintings can only be used as decorations and are slightly more expensive. Sheng Jianan wants to focus on drawing portrait sketches. This was something that senior Gu Panyu had mentioned to him before.
With his speed, it only takes him a dozen minutes to draw a portrait sketch. There are many people coming and going there, and there are many tourists, and tourists tend to like to try new things. If you use your mobile phone to take photos more often, you might be willing to try it as long as the price is not too high.
According to senior Gu Panyu, his level of skill is enough to sell one piece for at least fifty yuan.
But Sheng Jianan thought about it and decided that based on his hobby, he could give him a discount. One for thirty.
Sheng Jianan took action that afternoon after making up his mind. On that simple country road, there was a small stall with two sketches of famous basketball stars playing as a display, and the price "30 per piece" was written next to them.
As expected, tourists’ consumption psychology is relatively generous and decisive, and they want to try everything they see.
Seeing that Sheng Jianan was a good painter, two or three people lined up in a short while.
In this way, Sheng Jianan felt the beautiful scenery of nature while doing what he liked. He drew eight sketches in one afternoon and made a net profit of two hundred and four, enough for his overnight stay and a good meal.
The satisfaction of making money is really pleasant. Sheng Jianan happily packed up and returned to the B&B.
As soon as we arrived at the B&B, we could smell the aroma of rice from the restaurant. There is nothing happier than the feeling of having just made money and being able to eat right away when you are hungry.
After entering the restaurant, the B&B owner waved to Sheng Jianan and asked him to sit over after getting his meal.
Sheng Jianan agreed.
The homestay offers a home-cooked buffet for 20 yuan per person, and you can add as much rice and vegetarian dishes as you like. Sheng Jianan has eaten it several times and it tastes very good.
After preparing the meal, Sheng Jianan sat at the boss’s table.
Seeing this, the boss asked, "Did you just come back from playing?"
"Yeah." Sheng Jianan nodded, "I'm going to paint."
The boss responded and said, "Hey, Xiao Sheng, I haven't asked you before, are you here for tourism? I see that you look like a college student, right?"
Sheng Jianan paused and nodded: "Well, I'll come to sketch and find some inspiration."
"Oh, you majored in painting." The boss smiled, "Which university?"
"Xia University." Sheng Jianan said, "Xiacheng University."
The boss was surprised: "An institution of higher learning, it turns out that children nowadays are both good-looking and good at studying."
Sheng Jianan smiled.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" the boss asked again.
This time Sheng Jianan was silent for a while, his face obviously a little depressed.
The boss is also a worldly-wise man. As soon as he saw his expression, he knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said. Maybe he came out to relax because of a breakup.
So he pointed to the promotional paper on the wall and changed the subject: "If you have nothing to do, you can go and see our performances. There should be a dance show recently. It's pretty good, with good lighting and high audience reviews. We can also get internal discounts in our store. If you want to go, just tell me in advance."
Sheng Jianan looked at the introduction on the promotional paper. The light and dance show is Rong Town’s special stage show, and it looks really good. He had heard others mention it on the road before, and they all said it was worth a visit.
Just at this moment, two girls came over and found the boss with a smile: "Boss, we want to order two tickets for the dance show tomorrow night."
"Okay." The boss said, "I'll call and order it for you tonight."
"Okay, thank you, boss." The girl glanced to the side and looked at Sheng Jianan for two seconds before asking in surprise, "It's you?"
Sheng Jianan raised his head when he heard the voice.
"Are you the handsome guy who was painting oil paintings in that small village that day?" the girl asked.
When Sheng Jianan heard this, he immediately remembered that this was the first girl who spent 600 yuan to buy his oil painting.
"Yes, it's me." Sheng Jianan smiled and said politely, "What a coincidence."
"What a coincidence." Seeing this, the boss smiled and said, "Then do you want to form a group and go together?"
The girl had no objection and looked at Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan didn't refuse the girl's face and smiled: "Okay."
-
It was another early morning. Jiang Chi opened his eyes while sitting in the living room that had not been renovated yet. The phone next to him was vibrating. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Ling Mo. He did not answer it and stood up directly.
Jiang Chi walked to the one-way glass house that the renovation workers had just built yesterday and took a look around.
This is the studio he prepared for Sheng Jianan.
Sheng Jianan has been a person who is very attentive and focused in everything he does since he was young, so he never lets Jiang Chi disturb him when he is painting. At that time, Jiang Chi secretly thought that he must build a glass house so that he would not disturb Sheng Jianan but could see him at all times.
This house was just handed to him by Jiang's mother two days ago. He had originally planned to decorate it to the way Sheng Jianan liked it and give it to him as a birthday present in a few months.
Jiang Chi had already made plans at that time. After the decoration was completed, they could come and stay for two days every weekend, or move in directly in the second half of the semester, and he could drive Sheng Jianan to school.
In this way, they can get up from the same bed in the sunshine every day, hug each other and chat for a while, then get up, wash, eat breakfast, and drive to school.
After class and dinner, they would come back together and take a shower. Then he could hug the soft Sheng Jianan and lie comfortably on the 1.8-meter-long bed.
He originally thought that their life would continue like this, and would continue like this...
After standing for a while, Jiang Chi walked to the living room, picked up his phone, and called Ling Mo.
The other end quickly picked up the phone: "You finally answered the phone, are you okay? Did you find Nan Nan?"
Jiang Chi: "Can you contact Gu Panyu?"
Ling Mo paused and said hastily, "Fuck, Jiang Chi, don't mess around. What does this have to do with my senior sister?"
Jiang Chi: "I have something to ask her, can you help me find her contact information?"
Ling Mo paused for a moment: "...Okay, then you better be careful, she's a girl."
-
The tender sunlight of the early morning shone through the window onto Sheng Jianan's face. He frowned slightly, turned around, and subconsciously wanted to push himself into Jiang Chi's arms. Then he paused, lay in bed for a while, and slowly opened his eyes.
He didn't think much about it and got up to wash.
In recent days, he has been painting every afternoon. After deducting daily expenses, he unexpectedly still has a few hundred yuan left. The money is much more durable than he thought.
Since coming here, his small treasury has not been touched, and Sheng Jianan suddenly has great confidence in supporting himself.
He decided to make good money and find a way to send money back to his parents.
However, Sheng Jianan hasn't had any rest in the past few days. Today he plans to have a good day and go to see a dance show in the evening.
As Sheng Jianan was thinking, his mind stopped again. Although he tried not to think about it, after a while, he couldn't help but miss his parents a little bit, and also a little bit... missed Jiang Chi.
Is he already having sex with the protagonist?
Sheng Jianan shook his head, put the matter aside and refused to think about it.
In fact, he had been living a happy and fulfilling life these past few days, as if the gloom hanging over his heart had lessened a lot as soon as he left Xiacheng. I vaguely felt as if I had grasped a tiny bit of fate.
As long as you can't see him, you can pretend he doesn't exist.
-
In the coffee shop at the entrance of Xia University, Gu Panyu looked at Jiang Chi opposite her nervously. He looked like he didn't sleep well, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted.
Gu Panyu picked up her phone and clicked on Sheng Jianan’s WeChat again, but there was still no reply.
"He definitely won't reply to my message." Gu Panyu said.
"Senior." Jiang Chi called out and looked up at her, "Did you take the initiative to introduce the commercial manuscript to Sheng Jianan last time?"
Gu Panyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he brought up this matter, and nodded: "Yes, I took the initiative to find him and asked if he was free. Because the company that wrote the manuscript at that time had high requirements, not everyone could take it."
"Did he mention what he was going to do with the money?" Jiang Chi asked.
"No, actually we didn't talk that deeply, we just talked about some family matters." At this point, Gu Panyu paused, his expression suddenly excited, "We had dinner together before and talked about my hometown Rongzhen. I recommended it to him and he said he liked this kind of city very much. Would he go to Rongzhen? But he didn't say whether he would go or not. Maybe he was just being polite to me and complimented me casually."
Jiang Chi lowered his eyes. Sheng Jianan is a quiet person by nature, so it's no surprise that he likes a charming city like Rongzhen. Besides, they had been to ancient towns similar to Rong Town before, and he could see that Sheng Jianan really liked that kind of picturesque scenery.
Seeing that he was silent, Gu Panyu asked in a low voice: "Junior brother, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Chi raised his eyes and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Sister. I'll thank you later when I have time."
After that, he quickly paid the bill, got up and left.
-
As the dance show was approaching, Sheng Jianan invited the two girls to dinner to thank them for their love of painting.
After dinner, the three of them entered the venue together and the dance show had just begun.
They arrived a little late, so they found seats a few rows back.
Just as the B&B owner said, the lighting at the show was indeed very beautiful, shining on the dancers, making their dance moves look graceful and lifelike.
There were also interesting interactive sessions with the host in the middle, which made it a pleasant performance.
"I heard there will be a striptease tonight." said the girl next to me.
Sheng Jianan was stunned for a moment and looked at her.
Fearing that he might misunderstand, the girl took the initiative to explain: "We just checked online, and the popularity of this stage mainly comes from the fact that they change the gimmick every week to attract the audience."
As she spoke, she moved closer to Sheng Jianan and said, "I heard there will be a striptease show by handsome guys today. Those handsome guys are all about 1.8 meters tall, with eight-pack abs and those sexy mermaid lines. Didn't you notice there are so many female audiences here?"
Sheng Jianan: “…”
Not long after he finished speaking, the finale came on stage. Several tall, muscular and handsome men in leather jackets entered the venue, immediately causing cheers and applause from the audience.
Sheng Jianan also clapped silently.
Originally, Sheng Jianan thought it was just an ordinary striptease, where she just took off her clothes and showed off her figure. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be pole striptease, which requires extremely high flexibility and strength from the dancer.
Sheng Jianan watched them spin on the stage, then climb onto the pole with both hands and fly directly into the air flexibly, then wrap their legs around the pole, showing their infinite arm and waist strength around the pole, which drew cheers from the girls present.
This is a real test of core strength. Sheng Jianan thought, maybe Jiang Chi could do it too.
Thinking of this, Sheng Jianan couldn't help but pause, lowered his eyes slightly, and continued watching the performance.
I saw the handsome guy on the stage hanging on the steel pipe. After spinning his legs a few times, he unbuttoned his leather jacket with one hand and threw it into the audience.
This immediately caused another round of cheers.
After turning a few circles and slowly landing on the ground, the three handsome guys did a prone position at the same time, then straightened their waists, jumped up, rushed to the front of the audience, knelt on one knee, tore off their white vests, twisted their hips, and showed their strong eight-pack abdominal muscles.
There was a sudden scream from the audience, the entire auditorium was boiling, even Sheng Jianan couldn't help but be moved by the emotion and started to applaud.
At this moment, Sheng Jianan vaguely felt a figure walking behind him, but he didn't care. The next second, a pair of familiar big hands covered his eyes.
Sheng Jianan was startled, and his heart started pounding.
Then I heard Jiang Chi's gloomy voice in my ears, almost gritting his teeth: "Nannan, my figure is worse than his, why not look at me."
