After I Died, I Was So Popular Again

After playing a round of projects, Zhong Chen and Cai Ji walked towards the restaurant.

The restaurants in the amusement park are generally crowded, and the weather is hot, even if it is not in the meals, they are already full.

There is a row of open-air seats at the door.

They saw Qi Linqing sitting in one of the seats.

There is a parasol shed above the head, which is not as good as indoor air conditioning, but it can also bring a bit of coolness.

Zhong Chen walked over and pulled the opposite chair to sit down.

On the table are two plates of exquisite afternoon tea cakes, and two cups of mellow milk tea with stockings and ice cubes.

"Give us some?" Zhong Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Um."

Qi Linqing pushed the left cup toward him and said, "I asked the waiter to add more sugar to your cup."

Cai Ji's gaze fell on the thermos cup that he never left his hand, and couldn't help asking:

"Brother Qi, don't you eat anything?"

"I don't eat sweets." Qi Linqing smiled, opened the thermos and took a sip of tea, and said, "I just drink this."

Zhong Chen: "Do you still drink hot tea on a hot day?"

Qi Linqing: "No, I went out and asked the housekeeper to make cold tea."

Zhong Chen: "..."

It turns out that this old man will also make changes due to the weather.

Zhong Chen picked up a spoon and dug a bite of the cake and sent it to his mouth, somehow, he found it very sweet.

It is sweeter than any pastry I have ever eaten by myself.

"This restaurant tastes good afternoon tea," he said.

Cai Ji couldn't say a word in his heart. Ah, is there too much artificial sweetener on the cake? Even he could easily taste the kind of sweetness enough to sweeten his teeth.

As soon as the voice fell, the cry of the child came from behind them:

"Mama, I don't want to eat this cake, it's so terrible..."

Cai Ji glanced at the price of 89 yuan on the menu and exclaimed: "So expensive?! It doesn't taste good at all, it's too sweet."

Zhong Chen: "..."

Hello! Don't demolish my station in public, okay?

He glanced at Qi Linqing.

I thought that sweet cakes are really sweet, and greasy is really a bit greasy.

But because the other party bought it, it tastes good.

"Is it too sweet?" Qi Linqing frowned and pointed to the thermos cup in his left hand: "Would you like to drink this tea, clear your mouth."

Cai Ji dared to drink and waved quickly.

Zhong Chen took the cup and took a sip at the edge of the cup.

puff-

It was so painful that his entire face wrinkled and he almost vomited out.

With a bang.

He put the thermos cup on the table hard, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, he was incredible:

How did the other party drink such bitter tea with relish?

Passing by the place where the shooting target balloon changed the doll, Cai Ji slowed down unconsciously.

"Do you want to try?" Qi Linqing asked him.

"No, no." Cai Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know how to do it. It's just that the rabbit doll looks pretty good."

He pointed to the big doll on the wall.

Zhong Chen rolled up his sleeves and said, "I will."

Qi Linqing remembered that the opponent's archery level had won the provincial prize, and immediately nodded:

"Well, let your Chen brother try."

Cai Ji: "Oh?"

Qi Linqing paid the money for the currency exchange. One hundred yuan can shoot ten times.

Just shoot once to get a doll.

The rabbit doll mentioned by Cai Ji is a first-class prize, and it must be scored eight times in a row to get a perfect score.

Many young couples surrounded the shooting place.

Because the rabbit doll is really cute, the girls pointed to it and yelled.

But almost no one can achieve the achievement of hitting the center of the target eight times in a row.

With a big belly, the boss said proudly on the side: "I have only two rabbit dolls in total. They are a limited edition brought back by my wife from Tokyo. You can search them. You can never buy them on a certain treasure..."

Of course, the value of these two rabbit dolls is also quite high, and the original price is over a thousand.

And the shooting booths they opened in the amusement park have explosion-proof mechanisms just like claw machines.

It is easy to reach full marks.

The voice just fell.

boom. boom. boom...

Zhong Chen picked up the gun, half-closed his left eye, and had hit the bullseye seven times in a row.

The boss's smile froze on his face.

boom!

Hit the bullseye again.

The display on the wall jumped out the number: 8.

The mechanical female voice automatically plays: "Congratulations on your first prize."

The people around suddenly looked towards Zhong Chen and were amazed.

"He is too good!"

A girl patted her boyfriend with dissatisfaction, and complained: "Look at someone!"

boom. boom.

When the number on the display jumped out of 10, others were even more surprised.

"Let's do another round." Zhong Chenyi rolled his wrist unfinishedly.

Cai Ji opened his mouth wide, "You are amazing."

Zhong Chen smiled, "It's nothing."

He carried the gun on his shoulder and continued to aim at the balloon target.

This round is another full score.

From time to time, the exclamation of passersby sounded around.

The boss can only cry and hand over the two rabbit dolls to them.

"Thanks." After Zhong Chen finished speaking to the boss, he transferred one of the rabbits to Cai Ji.

Cai Ji hurriedly thanked him.

Qi Linqing looked at the flower-armed teenager who was smiling brilliantly in the sun, with a moment of stunned expression on his face.

On the way back, the driver first clicked the navigation to drive to the courtyard.

Qi Linqing got out of the car and said to the driver, "Thank you for a while."

Zhong Chen: "Huh?"

Qi Linqing: "I'll go in and get something for you."

Zhong Chen's heart moved slightly. Is it possible that the other party wants to give himself a gift?

He opened the phone calendar and found that today is not a special day.

It took about fifteen minutes before Qi Linqing came out.

He handed Zhong Chen an exquisite small square brocade box.

Zhong Chen: "Give it to me?"

"Yeah." Qi Linqing thought for a while and said: "You gave Cai Ji the doll today. I should also give you a gift in return."

The tone and meaning of this sentence, no matter how it reveals a taste of elders.

The corners of Zhong Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

But he did not refuse, put the brocade box in the car secretly, and said, "Thank you."

Qi Linqing: "No thanks, go home early."

"Um."

The car started slowly and drove off the street.

Zhong Chen opened the brocade box in the car.

Lying in it was a delicate and small jade seal with a cute rabbit and the word "chen" engraved under it.

He closed the lid, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly unconsciously.

Time flew by, arriving at the end of August, and soon came the day of multi-school joint exams.

The examination room is set in a large studio classroom in City B.

Several buses brought students from different studios. The teacher mobilized before giving them the test:

"Everyone check if you have forgotten anything, ID cards, drawing tools...this is equivalent to a mock entrance exam, you have to show 200% of your energy, you know? You can't shame our studio if you get the results."

The annual multi-school mock joint exams are jointly held by the studios in City B.

The top ten will be awarded uniform brand-name painting materials and bonuses.

Of course, the final results came out, and the bottom-ranked studios are always very embarrassed.

This is related to the reputation and glory of the studio.

Several principals in different studios stood chatting at the door.

"How is the new recruit Qi Linqing in your studio?" asked the principal of Zuo Yi's studio.

Gossip is human nature. Qi Linqing is so popular on the Internet now, and it is inevitable that they will discuss a few words in private.

Zhimo's bald principal smiled and said, "He is very good, he has entered our elite class."

"Ouch."

The other principals looked at each other, and there was a hint of surprise flashing between their converging eyes.

"Old Xie, are you kidding me?"

The bald headmaster laughed and said nothing.

Although Zhimo is a veteran studio, it has not yet made it into the top three in the ranking of multi-school entrance exams in the past few years.

The main reason is that the competition pressure in the studio is too great now, and the internal scrolling is crazy.

Many studios have introduced regulations to recruit repeat students without tuition fees, just to increase the admission rate.

In the buses in other studios, some students were chatting.

"I heard that Qi Linqing will also participate in this multi-school joint exam."

"true and false?"

"Isn't he just learning Western painting? Will he paint badly? Hahahaha."

"I look forward to seeing him in person at that time. It is said that he himself looks more than a hundred times better than the picture."

"Exaggerated."

"His Chinese painting is so awesome, wouldn't it be shameful to wait for the entrance exam to roll over?"

"It will be great for me to exceed his score by then."

"..."

While chatting, the car arrived.

The students swarmed down with their luggage.

It just so happened that the bus opposite the parking lot was printed with the imprint of "Zhimo Studio".

The group of students who were chatting just now were suddenly excited and craned their necks to look over there.

Just like meeting an internet celebrity, no one wants to see what Qi Linqing looks like with his own eyes.

The students of Zhimo Studio also walked down at this time.

Qi Linqing's height is particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

Among the people present, there was almost no one higher than him.

Not to mention that face, it seems to have an automatic beauty buff in the sun, shining brightly and dazzling.

Everyone was stunned.

This, this real person is really better than the photos!

"I heard from friends in Zhimo's studio that Qi Linqing has entered the elite class."

"How is it possible? It's a lie."

"The elite class doesn't just give money to get in... I don't believe it."

Along the way, almost everyone who saw Qi Linqing was discussing him.

Maybe there is a kind of person who is born to be as eye-catching as a star.

Some people are also discussing Zhong Chen, saying whether their cp is a hype.

Qi Linqing didn't feel it at all. He has a habit of ignoring criticism around him.

He carried the drawing box and sat down in the examination room ranked in order.

This time he and Zhong Chen are not in the same examination room, and there is no acquaintance here.

When the examiner announced the start of the examination, he was completely immersed in painting.

Sketch, sketch, gouache.

Tested all afternoon.

When Qi Linqing walked out of the examination room, he could still hear people around him complaining that the test questions were difficult.

"Brother Qi, do you find it difficult?" a red-haired boy approached him and asked him.

Qi Linqing paused, vaguely remembering that the other party was in the same studio as himself, and was in Class A.

"It's okay," he said.

The boy smiled and said, "Yes, this kind of difficulty is not a big deal for you anyway."

What the boy said was a sincere compliment. Because he was in the same class, he could see Qi Linqing's paintings every day.

At that level, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the great **** of art exams.

But other students who passed by overheard this conversation, and there was a knot in their hearts.

Qi Linqing has just studied Western painting for just two months. Why is he so crazy?

However, after one day, the scores of the multi-school entrance exam were officially announced.

Qi Linqing: [First]

Zhong Chen: [Twenty-fifth]

They were so shocked that they were instantly slapped in the face.

There was intense discussion among the student groups in several studios.

[Damn! ]

[I was shocked directly]

[Good guy, has he really only studied Western painting for two months]

[...What is the concept of the first place in the multi-school entrance exam, so Qi Linqing is equivalent to the number one in our B city studio? ! ]

[The king, I wipe it]

[There is also Zhong Chen, who actually ranks so high]

[I kdl woo woo woo again]

[No wonder people can go to the elite class of Zhimo Studio]

[I regret! ]

[I also want to sign up for Zhimo Studio, ah, is it too late?]

…

The biggest winner of this multi-school entrance exam is undoubtedly Zhimo Studio.

With Qi Linqing's winning the king's card, Zhimo Studio directly ranked first in the industry.

For this reason, President Xie not only refunded and reduced all his tuition fees in full, but also offered to sponsor his four-year tuition for the future university.

Although this little money may not be worth mentioning to the Qi family, it is their studio's intention to cultivate geniuses.

—The above are the original words of President Xie's high-sounding words.

Now, Qi Linqing's reputation as a genius has spread throughout the studio.

Everyone knows that his painting skills are even better than his teachers.

at the same time.

Qi Hui found out that there was an extra refund amount on his card.

No more, no less, it just happened to be the tuition that I had paid to Qi Linqing.

Qi Hui felt strange and called his wife to ask what was going on.

Recently, Qi Linqing hasn't contacted his family again. He has been busy with work and he doesn't know how the other party is in the studio.

Yan Qiongfang: "Could it be that the studio returned?"

Qi Hui: "How could it be possible that people will not refund the tuition after receiving a large amount of tuition."

They are all businessmen, and of course Qi Hui knows the benefits.

"Did you tell you anything during Linqing?" he asked.

Yan Qiongfang: "No, he didn't even answer the phone. The old man said he was studying painting seriously and told us not to disturb him..."

Qi Hui had to call the eldest son again.

When Qi Yingjun heard this, he was surprised: "Could it be Linqing who called you? He wants to completely draw a line with us."

Qi Hui held the phone slightly stiff and calmed down for a moment. He said solemnly: "Impossible, he doesn't want to."

Since they belonged to their Qi family, Qi Linqing couldn't think of completely dividing the line with them.

I would never let this happen!

After the end of the multi-school exam, Qi Linqing's training career has officially come to an end.

With his current level of painting, it is no problem to take the art test.

He spends more time exploring deeper art and thinking about the future.

Every day when Zhong Chen draws and writes homework at night, Qi Linqing sits at the computer and listens to the board-drawing class and writes and draws on the tablet.

Zhong Chen occasionally looked at the paintings on his tablet, and it was hard to believe that they were drawn by the other party.

Good old people!

Why can Qi Linqing get used to new electronic devices so quickly?

He imitated the drawn character, exactly the same as in the anime scene.

After the imitation stage, Qi Linqing began to create gradually.

He is more inclined to the Chinese style than the manga style now influenced by Sakura Island.

Those complex patterns that are cumbersome, simple and rich in color texture. Coupled with classical images such as dragons and phoenixes, his personal style of board painting is strong and vivid, which makes people unforgettable.

In addition to scenery, he is also practicing drawing characters.

Once Qi Linqing begged Zhong Chen to be his painting model.

"I'll buy you milk tea tomorrow, okay?"

Zhong Chen nodded and agreed.

Actually, it wasn't for the cup of milk tea... He looked at each other faintly, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Hey, this is how an old wooden cadre stands.

Qi Linqing thought that Zhong Chen agreed because of milk tea.

He chuckled, and he couldn't help feeling that such a counterpart was a little cute.

There was a dimly warm light in the room.

Qi Linqing turned the air conditioner higher and sat in a chair holding a tablet.

He looked up at Zhong Chen and said, "Let's get started."

Zhong Chen took off his shirt without hesitation.

A stunned color flashed in Qi Linqing's eyes.

Although the two of them have lived together under the eaves for a long time, they have not seen each other sincerely because they were both ancients and they paid more attention to privacy.

They always go to the bathroom when they change clothes.

This is the first time Qi Linqing has seen Zhong Chen's upper body.

The youth's complexion is not white, between the sun's brown charcoal. The thin six-pack abdominal muscles present a special contour texture under the light tones. His body exudes a strong youthfulness, green and beautiful, reminiscent of the coconut trees growing in the sun on the island.

"You... are beautiful." Qi Linqing couldn't help but said.

When Zhong Chen heard these ambiguous words, the tips of his ears were slightly red.

But he soon noticed that Qi Linqing's unshirkable vision did not contain any affair, only a strong, shining appreciation and praise of art and beauty.

He suddenly seemed to be poured cold water, and his heart sank slightly.

Zhong Chen gritted his teeth and continued to take off.

He didn't believe that the other party didn't feel it.

Qi Linqing hurriedly stopped and said, "I didn't let you undress."

Zhong Chen: "Huh?"

Qi Linqing explained: "I drew the characters on the board, wearing clothes."

Zhong Chen: "..."

This embarrassment immediately tied him up.

Zhong Chen's eyes were dull, losing his highlights.

Had it not been for the information he learned from the exchanges with his classmates in the studio recently, he told him that the model... all had to take off his clothes, how could he have made such a mistake!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

He can't wait to find a place to sew in.

Qi Linqing dug out a white linen buckle gauze robe of his own in the cabinet and handed it to the other party, saying:

"You wear this."

"Oh..." Zhong Chen took the clothes and put them on with some twisting.

This character board painting took two days to complete after Qi Linqing's beautification and imagination.

The picture is ancient, pear blossoms are flying all over the sky, and the young man in white under the tree is drawing a bow and shooting an arrow. The details are subtle, and his white porcelain finger joints are flexible and elegant. Half of his exposed arm, the folds of his clothes slid gently, revealing a blood-red phoenix tattoo winding on it.

His side face was clearly sharp as a sword, but another transparent tear dripped through his nose. His eyes were mournful, with a look of misty and melancholy.

The contrast is instant, extremely impactful.

Moreover, the appearance of the boy in the painting is not distorted. Can make people think of Zhong Chen immediately.

No wonder Zhong Chen used this painting as his WeChat avatar the next day...

Gan Yishan was amazed when he saw it, and asked Qi Linqing if he could show this picture to Ye Runan.

Qi Linqing nodded and said, "I remember this student Ye is very good at drawing board? Could you please give me some advice by the way."

"certainly!"

In the evening, Gan Yishan passed this picture to Ye Runan for viewing.

At first glance, Ye Runan almost drooled: "Damn, which great **** painted it? The ancient style is really good."

She fixed her eyes again, hey, why doesn't it seem to be right?

Why is the boy in the picture so like Zhong Chen?

Gan Yishan: "Uh...this is painted by Qi Linqing."

Ye Runan: "..."

The author has something to say: Ye Runan: I will swallow this dog food as a respect
